4. Installation Guide

4.1 Safety Precautions

• Always disconnect vehicle battery power before beginning installation to prevent electrical shorts.
• Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated to prevent water ingress and corrosion.
• Mount components in locations that do not obstruct driver visibility or vehicle operation.

4.2 Camera Installation

1. Select a suitable mounting location for the camera, typically at the rear of the vehicle, ensuring a clear view and protection from physical damage.
2. Securely mount the camera using appropriate hardware.
3. Connect the camera's power cable to a 12 Volt DC power source. This can be the vehicle's running lights, reverse lights, or another switched 12V source. Ensure proper polarity (red to positive, black to negative/ground).
4. Route the camera cable safely, avoiding sharp edges, moving parts, and heat sources.

4.3 Receiver Module Installation

1. Mount the digital wireless receiver module in a secure, dry location within range of your existing observation monitor. The 3M Dual Lock pads can be used for mounting on flat surfaces.
2. Connect the receiver module's power cable to a 12 Volt DC power source.
3. Connect the receiver module's video output to your existing observation monitor. An adapter harness (sold separately) may be required depending on your monitor's input type.
4. Ensure the antennas on both the camera and receiver are positioned for optimal signal reception, avoiding obstructions.

5. Operation

Once installed and powered, the ASA Electronics WVRXCAM1 system will automatically establish a digital wireless connection between the camera and the receiver using WiSight technology. The camera's video feed will then be transmitted to your connected observation monitor.

• Power On: Ensure both the camera and receiver are receiving power.
• Monitor Selection: Select the correct video input channel on your observation monitor to view the camera feed.
• Image Orientation: The camera provides a mirror (reversed) image, which is standard for rear-view applications.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your WVRXCAM1 system.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the camera lens with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or water spots that may obstruct the view. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Connection Check: Annually inspect all cable connections for signs of wear, corrosion, or looseness. Re-secure or replace as necessary.
• Mounting Security: Verify that the camera and receiver are still securely mounted and have not come loose due to vehicle vibrations.
