Installation & usage
Voltage, wiring, sealing and maintenance guidance for the installer.
- Before wiring, confirm the supply is DC 12V (8–15V) and never reverse the polarity.
- When installing the top cover, be sure to press the PC dome cover firmly with your hands to compact the o-ring, and then tighten the top cover - The manufacturer's instructions clearly state: Only in this way can IP67 waterproofing be guaranteed
- After adjusting the angle of the ball head, be sure to tighten the hexagonal screw to avoid angle deviation after long-term vibration
- Route and secure the cable away from the engine and other hot surfaces, and clear of sharp sheet-metal edges.
- Tighten the connector and fit the waterproof boot to keep water out.
- Wipe the PC ball cover with a soft cloth. Do not scratch it with a hard object to avoid scratches and affect the light transmission
- The installation position should not block the driver's view and avoid the airbag deployment area
