VT100DIG
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 sys-
tems, fans, heaters etc.).
Screw on the plug connections of the connecting cables to protect against water pen-
etration (fig. 4, page 4).
When laying the cables, make sure:
– they are not kinked or twisted
– they do not rub on edges
– they are not laid in sharp-edged ducts without protection (fig. 3, page 4).
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 seal-
ant.
NOTE
I
Only start sealing through-holes when you have completed all installation work
on the camera and have laid the required cable lengths.

Connecting electrical power to the transmitter module
NOTICE!
A
Make sure the polarity is correct.
VT100DIG requires a few seconds to initiate the digital wireless connection. To keep this
start-up time short, you should connect the transmitter module to an active +12 V voltage
supply. If no continuous operating voltage is available, you can connect the transmitter
module to the reversing light.
Connecting the transmitter module to a continuous operating voltage
➤ Connect the red cable of the transmitter module (fig. 6 7, page 5) to an active positive
cable, e.g. terminal 15.
➤ Connect the black cable of the transmitter module (fig. 6 8, page 5) to earth (body-
work).
➤ Connect the green cable of the transmitter module (fig. 6 6, page 5) to the reversing
light.
