Installing the LCD monitor LCD Monitor

6.3 Connecting the monitor to the voltage supply
Observe the following instructions when laying out the connection cable:
Where possible, use existing ducts or other bushings for the
cable, e.g. a ceiling lamp. If there are no existing ducts, you must
drill a hole of Ø 18 mm. Check beforehand that there is sufficient
room for the drill head to emerge once the hole has been made.
Cables and connections which are not installed properly will
cause malfunctions or damage to components. Correct installa-
tion of cables and connections is the basic prerequisite for lasting
and trouble-free operation of the retrofitted components.
z To prevent damage to the cables, when laying them ensure that there is
sufficient distance to hot or moving vehicle components (lights, heaters,
ventilators etc.).
z Wrap insulating tape around every connection on the cable (even inside
the vehicle).
z 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 (see fig. 3,
page 4)
CAUTION!
When connecting to an interior light fitting note that the monitor
has a maximum power consumption of 30 W. The cable must be
fused with at least 5 A.
➤ Connect the monitor connection cable as follows:
– Red cable (fig. 10.13, page 7) to 12 V DC.
The voltage source must be switched on independently of the ignition
so that the LCD monitor is not switched on unintentionally when the
vehicle is started.
– Black cable (fig. 10.14, page 7) to terminal 31 (earth –).
➤ If necessary, drill an 18 mm hole in the ceiling of the vehicle.
➤ Grind all drill holes that have been made in the sheet metal and apply rust-
protection.
