Laying cables

NOTICE! Risk of damage!
• To prevent damage, when drilling ensure that there is sufficient space on the other
side for the drill head to come out.
• Cables and connections which are not properly installed will cause malfunctions or
damage to components. Correct installation of cables and connections is the basic
prerequisite for lasting and trouble-free operation of the retrofitted components.
• The cables may not be exposed for long periods to solvents such as benzine, as the
solvents can damage the cable.
Please observe the following instructions:
• As far as possible, use original openings or alternative openings for the connecting cable duct,
e.g. the paneling edges, ventilation grilles or blank panels. If no openings are available, you
must drill holes for the cables. Check beforehand that there is sufficient room for the drill head
to come out on the other side.
• Wherever possible lay cables inside the vehicle, as they are better protected inside than outside
the vehicle.
If you do need to lay a cable outside the vehicle, ensure that it is well secured (use additional
cable ties, insulating tape, etc.).
• To prevent damage to the cables, when laying them ensure that there is sufficient distance to
hot or moving vehicle components (exhaust pipes, drive shafts, light systems, fans, heater etc.).
Use corrugated piping or other protective materials to protect against mechanical wear.
• Screw on the plug connection of the connecting cables to protect against water penetration
(fig. g, page 7).
• When laying electric connections, ensure that
– 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)
• Attach the cables securely in the vehicles to prevent tripping hazards. Use cable binders,
insulating tape or glue the cables in place.
• 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 the cable sleeve with sealant.
I
NOTE
Do not start sealing the through-holes until all installation work has been finished for the
camera, and the required cable lengths have been established.
