The Hardwire Kit is compatible with 12V/24V DC for car or truck installations. NOTE: Refer to your vehicle owners manual to determine. · Location of the fuse box · How to access the fuse box · The type of fuse tap required It is highly recommended that you have a quick read of the installation instructions in this manual. If you are not comfortable with the process please seek further assistance from an authorised technician. Since power to your Dash Cam will be running via a power cable from the fuse box you will need to determine your vehicle's fuse box location. Most vehicles have a fuse box underneath the dashboard on the driver's side which is easily accessible below the steering column (behind a removable panel). However the location does vary between vehicle make and model. There are 5 types of fuse tap cables included in this kit. Check to see if these fuses suit your vehicle's fuse box. If none are suitable you will need to purchase the correct fuse to attach the hardwire kit to your vehicle's power source. The GUNIHWC Hardwire Kit provides constant power to your Dash Cam when your vehicle is turned off. It is protected with Battery Drain Protection to safeguard your 3 Product information cont...

Setting cut off voltage Model:GUNIHWC You can set the cut off voltage according the temperature and the capacity you'd like to consume before the hardwire kit cuts off the output. There are 4 protection settings you can set in the hardwire kit. 5 Setting cut off voltage cont... For 12V Batteries: The protecting voltages are 11.8V / 12.0V / 12.2V / 12.4V. 12.2V setting is recommended for most users in general driving conditions. For 24V Batteries: The protecting voltages are 23.6V / 24.0V / 24.4V / 24.8V. 24.4V setting is recommended for most users in general driving conditions. The GUNIHWC kit will identify the lead acid battery type automatically (12V or 24V) and protect your battery from draining accordingly. Desired voltage cut off Use the table reference on page 7 to assist in determining your desired voltage cut off level for battery drain protection. For example if the temperature is 38°C and you want to keep a 75% lead acid state capacity remaining in your battery when the hardwire kit cuts off output (meaning the battery voltage is approximately 12.402V) the cut off voltage should be set at the 12.4V band. This means there will be 25% capacity in your vehicle battery which will be used for your Dash Cam while your vehicle is parked. NOTE: The table is to be used as a reference guide only in order to determine an appropriate voltage selection dependent on the vehicles battery age and condition. 6 Desired voltage cut off table Temp C -7 -1 4 10 16 21 27 32 38 43 49 100% 12.794 12.77 12.746 12.722 12.698 12.674 12.65 12.626 12.602 12.578 12.554 Lead Acid State & Voltage (Volt) 75% 50% 25% 12.594 12.384 12.204 12.57 12.36 12.18 12.546 12.336 12.156 12.522 12.312 12.132 12.498 12.288 12.108 12.474 12.264 12.084 12.45 12.24 12.06 12.462 12.216 12.036 12.406 12.192 12.012 12.378 12.168 11.988 12.354 12.144 11.964 0 12.034 12.01 11.986 11.962 11.938 11.914 11.89 11.866 11.842 11.818 11.794 7 Installation diagram 1 2 1 USB adapter 2 Control box cable 3 Tap fuse 3 8 Connecting the Hardwire kit to your Dash Cam There are 2 main stages in the hardwire kit installation. 1. Connecting output cable to your dashcam 2. Connecting input cables to your fuse box and grounding Attaching USB adapter to your Dash Cam 1. Three Dash Cam connector cables are included with GUNIHWC one with a Mini USB plug, one with a Micro USB plug and one with a Type C USB plug. Determine the connection interface type on your Dash Cam and then select the appropriate USB connector cable. 2. Insert the USB connector cable to your Dash Cam. Routing the output cable from the Dash Cam to the vehicles fuse box 1. Consult your vehicle manufacturer for instructions on how to remove vehicle fittings for routing the hardware kit cables. NOTE: Make sure airbags are not obstructed in case of deployment. 2. Once the USB connector cable is attached to your Dash Cam, it then needs to be connected to the hardwire kit's output cable. 3. The hardwire kit output cable will then need to be recessed into the roof lining where it meets the edge of the windscreen to conceal the cable. 4. At the farthest end of the roof lining the output cable needs to then be routed along the A pillar that is closest to the fuse box of the vehicle. Route the cable all the way down to the end of the A pillar where it meets the dashboard. 9 Routing the output cable from the Dash Cam to the vehicles fuse box cont... 5. To secure use cable ties to attach the output cable to any existing cable(s) that may be housed in the A pillar. 6. Where the output cable from the A pillar meets the side of the dashboard, the output cable will then need to be routed towards the direction of the fuse box by concealing the cable along the side of the vehicle dash. 7. Any excess output cable length can be wrapped and held together with a cable tie when it reaches the fuse box 8. Tuck away any excess output cable behind the fuse box 9. If required, peel off the control box label to attach the control box to the vehicle (near the fuse box) with the adhesive tape. Connecting the Hardwire kit to your fuse box & grounding Connecting to the fuse box NOTE: Refer to your vehicle's fuse layout panel to determine the permanent power fuse for constant power feed. The fuse cable needs to be connected to the 12V/24V battery feed. 1. Determine the fuse tap cable required for connection to your fuse box. Where in doubt refer to the vehicle owner's manual. 10 2. Place the vehicle fuse in the fuse tap cable. Note the correct position location for both the vehicle fuse and the hardwire kit fuse in the fuse tap cable (Pic below). Hardwire Kit Fuse Connect Vehicle Fuse 3. Locate the input cable and connect the fuse tap cable to the red input connector. Ensure connection is secure. 4. Insert the fuse tap into the fuse box. 5. Tuck away any excess red input cable behind the fuse box. 11 Connecting to ground 1. Locate earth terminal/bolt or any vehicle bolt accessible that is mounted to the chassis of the vehicle or any metal part of the vehicle - located near the vehicle fuse box. 2. Feed black input wire eyelet into bolt and screw bolt back on existing location. 3. Tuck away any excess input cable behind the fuse box. NOTE: The black earth cable needs to be connected to the vehicle chassis otherwise it will not earth out. 12 Product specifications Mini, Micro or Type C 13 Installation advice Installation of the GUNIHWC is recommended to be performed by a technician or professional installer.
