Important/Notable Information

While all of the information in this manual is important, there are some pieces of information

where special attention needs to be paid to avoid equipment damage, or specific information

needs to be emphasized. This information will be handled as follows:

IMPORTANT

Indicates an operating procedure, practice, or condition that, if

not strictly followed, may cause equipment damage.

Note: Indicates additional information or emphasizes a topic related to the subject

being discussed.

Field Service

Kustom Signals, Inc. can provide field service for start-up assistance, training, maintenance,

and replacement/spare parts for new and existing equipment.

Contact a Kustom Signals, Inc. technical support representative by calling 1-800-835-0156 or

1-620-431-2700.

Careful Placement of Components

Care should be taken when considering the placement of components. This is especially

important with components that will be worn by the officer (i.e., the wireless audio transmitter).

WARNING

Placement of items on the duty belt can restrict ready access to

important equipment.

The location of the wireless audio transmitter or any other

device provided with this system that is carried on the officer’s

person should be chosen with great care and consideration.

After a location is chosen, the officer should test access to and

practice drawing primary items, such as service firearms and

secondary defense devices such as aerosol subject restraint,

batons, and electronic control devices, etc. Proper operation of

handheld radios and other signaling devices should also be

tested as should access to handcuffs and other restraining

devices.

Take Appropriate Steps When Drilling Holes

Some installations may require the technician to drill a hole or holes in the vehicle. In these

cases, the technician should verify prior to drilling that drilling through a panel will not result in

damage to any component behind the panel being drilled.

CAUTION

The technician should make sure that the mounting location will

not result in other components being damaged during the

installation, such as when drilling the pilot holes.

If holes are drilled, the technician must be sure that the holes are

completely sealed prior to returning the vehicle to the customer.

Once the hole has been drilled, when the technician is installing the component, they need to

be sure that the hole is completely sealed. Sealing the hole will prevent fumes from outside of

the vehicle from entering the passenger compartment.

Checking the Order

Prior to beginning the installation of the system, the technician should check the items received

against the original order and packing slip. If any items are missing, please notify Kustom

Signals, Inc. at 1-800-835-0156 or 1-620-431-2700.

When the box is opened, the installer will find an installation guide that is a useful reference

tool during the installation. Beneath the installation guide the installer will find that the box has

Installer Qualifications

Only persons who have been properly trained and hold the appropriate qualifications should

attempt to install the Digital Eyewitness

®

HD in-car video system or any of its components.

WARNING

Before installing, adjusting, or servicing any system

components, the technician should make themselves familiar

with the system and the electrical cabling requirements of the

system.

These instructions have been organized to allow quick access to the information needed for

the proper installation of the Digital Eyewitness

®

HD system. Critical details for each step in

the procedure will be presented with each step, when needed.

The technician is encouraged to read through the detailed instructions at least once – even if

the technician has previous installation experience on the Eyewitness

®

systems. As Kustom

Signals, Inc. continues to enhance the product, some modifications have been made to some

of the installation procedures that were presented in the past.

Order of Installation

Kustom Signals, Inc. recommends that the installer follow the following sequence when

installing the Eyewitness

®

HD system.

IMPORTANT

When selecting the mounting locations for the various

components, the installer should be aware of how long the

cables are for each of the components and how those cables will

be routed. This will prevent having to relocate any components

later due to the cable not reaching the DVR.

1. Install the Tablet Monitor Controller (TMC) (if applicable).

2. Install the forward-facing HD camera/Expanse audio transmitter.

3. Install the standalone in-car microphone or optional rear seat SD camera/in-car

microphone.

4. Install the optional 2

nd

HD camera (if applicable).

5. Route the Accessory and Power cables.

6. Install the GPS antenna (if applicable).

7. Install the Wi-Fi antenna(s) (if applicable).

8. Route the remaining component cables to the DVR.

9. Install the DVR.

10. Perform the MDC configuration (if applicable).

IMPORTANT

This manual is laid out in a component-by-component format.

Kustom Signals, Inc., recommends that installers follow the

general order, although the order of individual components may

be altered slightly. All components should be installed and

cables routed, prior to installing the vehicle trim panels.

Prior to starting the installation, there are some steps that should be taken by the installer to

prepare for the installation.

1. If the system was ordered with a mounting tab that glues to the windshield, the glue that

secures the mounting tab to the windshield must have at least two (2) hours to dry before

the camera is attached. This mounting tab must be installed at the beginning of the

installation to allow adequate time for the glue to cure. Failure to allow adequate drying

time may result in the bond failing at a later date. This would result in the camera falling

from the windshield, which could result in the camera detaching from the windshield and

creating officer safety issues.

2. If ball and socket mount is being used to mount the TMC, install the ball part of the mount,

using Loctite

®

Thread Locker Blue 242

®

on the threads of the ball prior to installing into

the bracket. This must be installed at the beginning of the installation to allow adequate

time for the Loctite

®

to setup. The Loctite

®

will setup in 10 minutes and fully cure in 24

hours. Failure to allow adequate drying time may result in the bond failing at a later date.

This could result in the ball coming loose from the TMC, which could result in difficulty

positioning the TMC.

3. Determine the mounting position of the DVR. This should be done prior to routing any

cables, to prevent having to re-route cables.

IMPORTANT

The fuse MUST NOT be installed in the fuse holder in the main

power connector until all other components and cables are

installed and connected. Failure to follow this recommendation

ma

y

result in dama

g

e to the s

y

stem.

Protecting Against RFI (Radio Frequency Interference)

When installing the system, the following guidelines should be followed to help eliminate

interference that may affect the video signal, audio signal, or both:

1. All of the components of the Eyewitness

®

HD system should be mounted as far away

from the 2-way radio (and its amplifier) as possible.

2. All cables should be routed as far away from the 2-way radio cables as possible.

3. The antenna for the Expanse transmitter should be mounted as far away as possible from

the antenna for the 2-way radio.

4. The power cable’s ground connection should be connected directly to chassis ground, as

close to the negative post of the battery as possible.

5. The ferrite clamp should be installed on the controller cable near the controller.

6. The DVR chassis should be grounded properly to the vehicle chassis using the supplied

ground cable. It will be attached to the DVR chassis from the factory.

Note: To help ensure that radio interference is eliminated or minimized, it may be

helpful to consult with an experienced radio technician.

Power/Ground Connection Requirements

The following steps MUST be followed to ensure proper operation of the Digital Eyewitness

®

HD in-car video system.

1. A power tamer is included with the system and must be installed for the system to operate

properly . DO NOT substitute other models or manufacturers of similar devices. DO NOT

connect other equipment to the power tamer that is supplied with the Eyewitness

®

HD

system.

2. Main system power should be connected at the positive power lug at the main power

distribution block. If the main power distribution block does not have a positive power lug

available, the power lead may be connected to the positive post of the battery as a last

resort. On Ford Interceptor vehicles, a factory jumper harness is provided for these

connections.

3. Main system ground should be connected to chassis ground, as close to the negative

post of the battery as possible. On Ford Interceptor vehicles, a factory jumper harness is

provided for these connections.

IMPORTANT

Kustom Signals, Inc. strongly recommends against connecting

the ground lead directly to the negative post of the battery.

Kustom Signals, Inc. strongly recommends against cutting any

of the vehicle wiring.
