PerfectView VT50WiFi (ref. no. 9600003262) is a rear view video camera with a WiFi transmitter. The transmitter wirelessly transmits the signals between the rear view video camera and a smartphone or tablet with an iOS™ or Android™ operating system. PerfectView VT50Wi-Fi is suitable for use in cars, caravan trailers and mobile homes (fig. 1, page 3).

5 Technical description

5.1 Function description

PerfectView VT50WiFi comprises a rear view video camera with a number plate fastening, a WiFi transmitter and an app for mobile end devices such as smartphones or tablets.

The transmitter is mounted in the vehicle. It establishes a wireless radio network and transmits the image over it to a smartphone or tablet.

The transmitter is connected to the reversing light and is also used to supply the camera with power. The transmitter must re-establish the wireless connection every time the car is shifted into reverse gear. This requires about six seconds.

The wireless signals are transmitted in the 2.4 GHz range.

As the system is only designed as an additional aid for reversing, it does not relieve you of the duty to exercise due care especially when driving with a trailer.

NOTICE!

The transmitter sends digital data. The camera image is displayed on the monitor with a delay of 0.2 seconds. It is therefore essential that you drive slowly.

5.2 Control elements

1 Antenna connection
2 Camera connection

  Hammer (6)
• Centre punch (7)

To establish and test the electrical connection, the following tools are required:

• Diode test lamp (8) or voltmeter (9)
  Crimping tool (10)
  Insulating tape (11)
• Cable bushing sleeves (optional)

To secure the camera, transmitter and the cable, you may require additional screws, cable binders and double-sided tape.

6.2 Preparing the camera for installation

Observe the following mounting instructions:

• Place the camera in the centre over or under the number plate. The camera requires a free space of 30mm above or below the number plate.
• Fasten the camera in a way that does not cover the number plate.

Mounting the camera under the number plate (fig. 4, page 5)

Unscrew the camera (1) from the assembly plate (2).
Turn the camera by 180^
Reattach the camera to the assembly plate.

Adjusting the installation position on the rear of the vehicle (fig. 5, page 5)

The camera is attached to the upper part of the assembly plate. The upper part of the assembly plate is bent at an angle of approximately 5^ . You can fit the camera to the rear of the assembly plate to adjust the assembly position to the shape of the vehicle rear.

Unscrew the camera (1) from the assembly plate (2).
Turn the assembly plate by 180^
Reattach the camera to the assembly plate.

6.3 Fastening the camera

7.1 General notes on laying cables

NOTE

• As far as possible, use original ducts for laying the cables, or other suitable options such as panelling edges, ventilation grilles or dummy plugs. 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 emerge.
• Cables and connections that 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.

Therefore, please observe the following instructions:

• Wherever possible, lay cables inside the vehicle, as they are better protected there than outside.

If you do need to lay a cable outside the vehicle, ensure that it is well fastened (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, heaters, etc.).
• Use adhesive insulating tape to prevent water from penetrating the plug connection (fig. 7, page 6).

• When laying the cables (fig. 8, page 6), make sure:

• they are not kinked or twisted

• they do not rub on edges

• they are not laid in sharp-edged ducts without protection.

• 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 cable sleeve with sealant.

NOTE

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

7.2 Connecting the transmitter electrically

NOTICE!

Make sure the polarity is correct.

NOTE

The transmitter creates a wireless network that does not permit access to the Internet. Therefore internet services cannot be used once the transmitter is being supplied with power.

The use of telephony and text messages is also restricted.

Connecting the transmitter to the reversing light

NOTE

On some vehicles, the reversing light only works when the ignition is switched on. In this case, you must switch on the ignition to identify the positive and earth cables.

Proceed as follows (fig. 2, page 3):

Connect the red cable of the transmitter (3) to the positive cable of the reversing light.
Connect the black cable of the transmitter (4) to the earth wire (-) on the reversing light or to the earth terminal on the bodywork.
Connect the transmitter to the camera (fig. 9, page 7):

• Plug the connection cable (1) together.
• Insert the plug (2) into the transmitter's camera connection (3).

After a few seconds, the VT50WiFi establishes the digital wireless connection.
