To install the Parksafe PS7006 7" Colour Touch Screen Clip On Mirror Monitor, follow these steps:
1. Isolate all power: Make sure the vehicle power is off when installing the camera and monitor system.
2. Check camera positions: Before mounting the cameras, check their positions for the ideal view. Refer to page 7 of the installation guide for more details.
3. Vehicles with CAN BUS lighting systems: If your vehicle has a CAN BUS lighting system, there may be issues with the monitor and camera due to extra power drain. Check the wiring example on page 3 for guidance.
4. Powering the monitor and camera: It is recommended to avoid powering the monitors and cameras directly from the reverse lighting circuit. Instead, use a relay or a PSPKS module (12v on ignition from CANBUS) to provide power. The PSPK4 module can also be used to trigger a relay if you plan to use more than 1 Amp.
5. Wiring examples on CAN BUS vehicles: The installation guide provides wiring examples for different scenarios on CAN BUS vehicles. Refer to page 3 for detailed diagrams and instructions.
6. Using the monitor trigger: If you have a single camera and monitor installation, you do not need to use the monitor trigger. However, if you have more than one camera, such as a side camera and a reverse camera, you can use the trigger wire to control the camera view.
7. Connectors and cable joints: Ensure that all external joints are sealed to prevent moisture ingress. It is recommended to use self-amalgamating tape to seal any joints.
8. Mounting the monitor: If you have a dash-mounted monitor, use the supplied monitor mounting system to mount it in a position that does not interfere with the driver's view. If you have a clip-on mirror monitor or a universal bracket type mirror monitor, follow the instructions provided in the installation guide.
9. Mounting and wiring the cameras: Before mounting the cameras, check their view and position. If mounting a camera in the vehicle bodywork, make sure to paint any exposed surfaces to protect against rust. Pay attention to the voltage of the camera when wiring it directly to the vehicle's power. Most cameras are 12 volts. Follow the wiring instructions provided in the installation guide based on the type of camera you have.
10. Monitor menus and changing settings: Most monitors have similar menus that can be navigated using the keys provided. The installation guide provides examples of menu features and their functions. Refer to the guide for more details.
11. Maintenance of monitors and cameras: Clean the monitor and camera with a damp soft cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners or abrasive materials. Check the fixings and connectors for security.
12. Troubleshooting: The installation guide provides troubleshooting tips for common issues such as monitor not powering up, blue screen on monitor, triggers not working, etc. Refer to the guide for specific troubleshooting steps.
