The M7LS LCD monitor (item no. 9600000204) is a monitor primarily intended for use in vehicles. It can be used to connect cameras (e.g. a reversing video system) or other video sources.

The LCD monitor is designed for use in all vehicles.

Since rear view systems are designed merely as an additional aid for reversing, it does not relieve you of the duty to take proper care when reversing.

5 Technical description

5.1 Function description

The LCD monitor is a monitor which allows cameras (e.g. a rear view video camera) or other video sources (e.g. a TV) to be connected. It is possible to switch back and forth between video sources.

The monitor can be mounted on the dashboard, where it transmits the image from the connected camera, allowing the driver to see the area behind the vehicle, e. g. when parking.

The brightness of the monitor adapts automatically to the ambient light.

The buttons are illuminated and can therefore also be operated in the dark.

The mirrored picture function can be activated individually for each of the two video inputs. The image then appears as if you were looking into the rear view mirror.

5.2 Operating elements

The following control elements are located on the monitor:

6 General information on the electrical connections

6.1 Laying cables

NOTICE!

Cables and connections which are not properly installed will cause malfunctions or damage to components. Correct installation of cables and connections ensures lasting and trouble-free operation of the retrofitted components.

Please observe the following instructions:

• As far as possible, use original openings or alternative openings for the connecting cable duct, e.g. the paneling edges, ventilation grilles or blank panels. If no openings are available, you must drill holes for the cables. Check beforehand that there is sufficient space on the other side for the drill head to come out.
• Wherever possible lay cables inside the vehicle, as they are better protected there than outside the vehicle.

If you do need to lay a cable outside the vehicle, ensure that it is well secured (use additional cable ties, insulating tape, etc.).

• To prevent damage to the cables, when laying them, ensure that they are far enough away from hot or moving vehicle components (exhaust pipes, drive shafts, light systems, fans, heater etc.).
• Wrap insulating tape around the plug connections of the connecting cables and every connection on a cable (including inside the vehicle) to protect them from exposure to water (fig. 9, page 6). The most suitable tape for this purpose is self-vulcanising tape, for example from 3M.
• When laying electric connections (fig. 3, page 4), ensure that

– They are not kinked or twisted
– They do not rub on edges
– They are not laid in sharp edged ducts without protection

• Attach the cables securely in the vehicles to prevent tripping hazards. Use cable binders, insulating tape or glue the cables in place.
• Protect every through-hole made in the bodywork against water penetration, e. g. by using a cable with a sealant and by spraying the cable and the the cable sleeve with sealant.

NOTE

Do not start sealing the through-holes until you have completed all installation work on the camera, and the required cable lengths have been laid.

6.2 Using branch connectors (fig. 6, page 5)

To prevent loose connections in the branch connectors, it is important to ensure that the cable cross sections fit into the branch connectors.

To use the branch connectors, proceed as follows:

▶ Insert the cable to be tapped in the front groove of the cable connector (A).
▶ Insert the end of the new cable up to approx. 3/4 of the way into the rear groove (B).
▶ Use a pair of combination pliers to close the connector by pressing the metal pin in. This creates an electrical connection (C).
▶Press down the safety cap until it snaps into place.
▶ Check that the connection is secure by lightly tugging the cable (D).

6.3 Creating clean soldering joints

Proceed as follows to solder a cable to the original cables (fig. 7, page 5):

▶ Strip approx. 10 mm of insulation from the end of the original cable (A).
▶ Strip approx. 15 mm of insulation from the end of the cable to be connected (B).
▶ Wind the cable to be connected around the original cable and solder the two cables together (C).
▶ Insulate the two cables with insulating tape (D).

Proceed as follows to solder two cables together (fig. 8, page 5):

▶Strip the two cables (A).
▶ Place a shrink sleeve with a length of approx. 20 mm over the cable (B).
▶ Twist the cables together and solder them (C).
▶ Place a shrink sleeve over the soldered point and heat it briefly (D).

7 Mounting the monitor

7.2 Installing the monitor

CAUTION! Risk of injury!

Select the location of the monitor so that it cannot injure the passengers in the vehicle under any circumstances (e.g. sudden braking, road traffic accidents).

Observe the following installation instructions:

• Select an installation location that provides an unobstructed view of the monitor (fig. 10, page 6 and fig. 11, page 6).
• Never install the monitor in area where your head could impact it or in the air bag deployment path. This could cause injury if the airbag opens.
• The monitor must not impair your vision when driving (fig. 12, page 7).
• The installation location should be flat.
• Check that there is sufficient space underneath the installation location to attach the washers and nuts.
• Check beforehand that there is sufficient space on the other side for the drill head to come out.
• Bear in mind the weight of the monitor. Provide reinforcement if necessary (larger washers or plates).
• Ensure that you can lay the connection cable set to the monitor.

To perform the installation, proceed as follows (fig. 15, page 9):

▶ Slide the monitor (1) onto the mounting plate of the monitor bracket (2) and secure it on the monitor bracket with the knurled screw (3).
▶Position the monitor and the attached monitor bracket for testing.
▶ Mark the outlines of the corners of the monitor bracket (2) on the dashboard.
▶Unscrew the monitor from the monitor holder.
▶ Hold the monitor bracket within the outlines marked beforehand and mark four different drilling points.
▶ Drill ∅ 2 mm holes at the points you have just marked.
▶ Screw on the monitor bracket with the 4 x 20 mm self-tapping screws.
▶ Slide the monitor (1) onto the mounting plate of the monitor bracket (2) and secure it on the monitor bracket with the knurled screw (3).

NOTE

You can now adjust the angle of inclination. To do this, loosen the knurled screw (4) and tilt the monitor to the desired position. Tighten the knurled screw (4).

7.3 Laying the system cable from the camera to the monitor

NOTE

Lay the camera cable so that should you need to remove the camera, you can access the plug connection between the camera and the extension cable easily. This greatly facilitates the disassembly.

▶Lay the system cable for the camera inside the vehicle.
▶Lay the system cable for the camera to the monitor.
▶Connect the monitor connection cable to the system cable.
▶ Insulate the plug connection with the insulating tape supplied. Overlap every layer of the insulating tape by one half of its width.
▶ Attach the cables securely in the vehicles to prevent tripping hazards. This can be performed by using cable binders, insulating tape or gluing in place with adhesives.

NOTE

Only start sealing through-holes when you have completed all installation work on the camera and have laid the required cable lengths.
