Safety Messages to Installers of Federal Signal


Mobile Camera Systems

People’s lives depend on your proper installation of our products. It is


important to read and follow all instructions shipped with this prod-
uct. In addition, listed below are some other important safety instruc-
tions and precautions you should follow:
• To properly install a vehicular camera system, you must have a good
understanding of automotive electrical systems along with proficiency
in the installation and use of safety warning equipment.
• The mobile camera system is only a supplement to the rear-view/side-
view mirrors of the vehicle. The system is not a substitute for the
proper use of the rear-view/side-view mirrors of the vehicle. Always
use caution when backing up.
• DO NOT install equipment or route wiring in the deployment path of
an airbag.
• When drilling into a vehicle structure, be sure that both sides of the
surface are clear of anything that could be damaged.
• Locate the camera(s), monitor, keyboard, control box, and digital
video recorder (as applicable) so the VEHICLE and SYSTEM can be
operated safely under all driving conditions.
• You should frequently inspect the camera system to ensure that it
is operating properly and that it is securely attached to the vehicle.
The front face of any installed cameras should be kept clean and
free from any accumulated dirt or grime so that the cameras may
provide the clearest image. Obstructions to the camera image limit the
effectiveness of the system.
2 Safety Precautions

• If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify with the vehicle


manufacturer if the seat needs to be recalibrated for proper airbag
deployment.
• Do not open or service the monitor, camera element, or control box.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Opening or servicing any

3 Installing the Mobile Camera System


After unpacking the system components, examine them for damage that
may have occurred in transit. If a component has been damaged, do not at-
tempt to install or operate it. File a claim immediately with the carrier stat-
ing the extent of damage. Carefully check all envelopes, shipping labels,
and tags before removing or destroying them. Ensure that the parts listed
in the packing list are contained in the packing carton.

Installing the Rear-View Camera


(CAMCCD-REARNTSC/CAMCCD-REARPAL)
Before the installation, find an appropriate location for the rear-view cam-
era with these considerations in mind:
• Although the camera is waterproof, repeatedly exposing it to direct,
high-pressure streams of water (as from a pressure washer) is not
recommended.

• The material properties and thicknesses of vehicle bodies vary widely.


The included hardware can accommodate many different vehicle
installations. However, it is recommended that you exercise judgment
when drilling holes into vehicle surfaces.

• When drilling into a vehicle structure, be sure that both sides of the
surface are clear of anything that could be damaged. Remove all
burrs from drilled holes. To prevent electrical shorts, grommet all
drilled holes through which wiring passes. (All Federal Signal camera
systems include grommets.) Also, ensure that the mounting screws do
not cause electrical or mechanical damage to the vehicle.

• This camera is recommended for rear-view applications in heavy duty


vehicles. In most installations the trigger wire of this camera would
be connected to the reverse lights of the vehicle for automatic viewing
when the vehicle is operating in reverse. The camera is also equipped
with night-vision and audio capability.

• If the camera is to be used in a typical backup camera application,


the camera should be positioned so that the driver can obtain a wide,
unobstructed field of vision behind the vehicle.

2. Mark a location for a 3/4 in (19.0 mm) hole, typically centered


between the marked locations of the mounting holes, which will
accept the rubber grommet on the camera output cable. Once
you drill the center hole, you can route the camera output cable
through it to:
a) a camera-to-monitor extension cable that can be either:
• one CAMCABLE-SHORT/-5/-10/-15/-20/-40 or
• two CAMCABLE-SHORT/-5/-10/-15/-20 connected in
series with adapter CAMCABLE-EXT
• that is then connected to
• either the CAM1 or CAM2 input on the input/pow-
er/trigger wiring harness (CAMADP-INT-2) of the
CAMLCD-INT-56/CAMLCD-INT-70 monitor or
• one of the four camera inputs on the CAMBOX-
4NTSC/CAMBOX-4PAL control box (for use with the
CAMLCD-70 monitor) or
• one of the four camera inputs on the input/power/trigger
wiring harness (CAMADP-INT-4) of the CAMLCD-
INT-70-B
or
b) a special DVR system camera-extension cable that is con-
nected to one of the four camera inputs on the CAMDVR-4-B

3. Drill holes at the drill-position marks that are correctly sized for
the screws you are using:
a) If you are using the self-tapping screws, drill two to four
9/64 in (3.5 mm) holes.
b) If you are using the machine screws, drill two to four
13/64 in (5.2 mm) clearance holes.
4. Drill a 3/4 in (19.0 mm) hole at the mark for the camera output
cable. Smooth and deburr the hole.
12 Installing the Mobile Camera System

2. Align the mounting bracket with the drilled mounting holes,
guide the camera output cable into the 3/4 in (19.0 mm) hole,
and secure the rubber grommet in the hole.
3. To fasten the mounting bracket to the vehicle, choose the appro-
priate screws for the mounting holes you drilled:
a) If you are using the self-tapping screws, guide each screw
through a plastic insulator, then through one of the two chan-
nels in the mounting bracket and into the drilled holes. Fas-
ten the screws tightly to the vehicle body.
b) If you are using the machine screws, guide each screw through
a plastic insulator, then through one of the two channels in the
mounting bracket into the drilled holes. On the opposite side
of the vehicle chassis at the mounting location, install the flat
washer followed by the lock washer and nut. Fasten the mount-
ing hardware tightly to the vehicle body.
4. Connect a one of these camera extension cable to the camera:
• one CAMCABLE-SHORT/-5/-10/-15/-20
• two CAMCABLE-SHORT/-5/-10/-15/-20 connected in series
with adapter CAMCABLE-EXT

Before the installation, find an appropriate location for the side-view cam-
era with these considerations in mind:
• Although the camera is waterproof, repeatedly exposing it to direct,
high-pressure streams of water (as from a pressure washer) is not
recommended.
• The material properties and thicknesses of vehicle bodies vary widely.
The included hardware can accommodate many different vehicle
installations. However, it is recommended that you exercise judgment
when drilling holes into vehicle surfaces.
• This camera is recommended for installation on either the left or right
side of a vehicle. Typically, the trigger wire for the camera is connected
to the turn-signal circuit of the vehicle for automatic viewing when the
vehicle is turning. The camera is also equipped with night-vision and
audio capability.
• When drilling into a vehicle structure, be sure that both sides of the
surface are clear of anything that could be damaged. Remove all burrs
from drilled holes. To prevent electrical shorts, grommet all drilled
holes through which wiring passes (all Federal Signal cameras include
grommets). Also, ensure that the mounting screws do not cause
electrical or mechanical damage to the vehicle.
• If the camera is to be used in a typical side-view camera application,
the camera should be positioned so that the driver can obtain a wide,
unobstructed field of vision of the left or right side of the vehicle.
To install the side-view camera, follow these steps:

with these considerations in mind:
• Although the camera is waterproof, repeatedly exposing it to direct,
high-pressure streams of water (as from a pressure washer) is not
recommended.
Installing the Mobile Camera System 23

• The material properties and thicknesses of vehicle bodies vary widely.


The included hardware can accommodate many different vehicle
installations. However, it is recommended that you exercise judgment
when drilling holes into vehicle surfaces.
• When drilling into a vehicle structure, be sure that both sides of the
surface are clear of anything that could be damaged. Remove all burrs
from drilled holes. To prevent electrical shorts, grommet all drilled
holes through which wiring passes (all Federal Signal cameras include
grommets). Also, ensure that the mounting screws do not cause
electrical or mechanical damage to the vehicle.
• This camera is recommended for installation anywhere flexibility
in positioning the camera is required after it has been permanently
installed. The included Allen wrench is all that is needed to rotate the
ball camera within its mount. A typical installation might be mounting
the ball camera on a side-view mirror assembly. The camera should
be positioned so that the driver can obtain a wide, unobstructed field
of vision.
To install the ball camera, follow these steps:

Preparing to Install the Ball Camera


1. Open the included camera mounting hardware kit, which has:
• two self-tapping screws
• two machine screws with matching lock washers, flat washers,
and nuts
• an insulating pad
• an Allen wrench (for adjusting the orientation of the camera
in the housing)
• waterproofing tape
2. Before the installation, connect the camera to the monitor and
turn on the system to verify the camera orientation.
3. For access to the bottom half of the mounting bracket where the
mounting screws enter, use the included Allen wrench to remove
the two screws and nuts on both sides of the camera mounting
bracket (Figure 4 on page 26).

1. Mark a location on the vehicle for the 2.0 in/50.8 mm diameter,
heavy-duty, 7-pin connector. Be sure to have enough depth be-
hind the vehicle surface at this location to accommodate the full
length of the connector.
2. Mark two holes 2.935 in (74.55 mm) apart to accommodate user-
supplied 5/16 in (8 mm) bolts/screws to attach the connector to
the vehicle surface.
3. Double-check your marks by referring to the connectors includ-
ed in the kit, then drill the holes.
4. Attach the connector with user-supplied hardware.

Installing the Monitor (CAMLCD-INT-56, CAMLCD-INT-70,


CAMLCD-INT-70-B, CAMLCD-70)
Before the installation, find an appropriate location for the monitor with
these considerations in mind:
• The location should be able to support 9 lb (4 kg) and should not
obstruct the view of the driver.
• The monitor should be installed so that the driver can easily view
the rear-view mirrors of the vehicle. This system does not replace the
need for these mirrors, it is strictly a supplement. Typically a center
console in the cab or dashboard can be a good mounting location;
mounting from the ceiling of the vehicle is also possible.
• Avoid placing the monitor where it will be constantly exposed to
direct sunlight, moisture, a strong magnetic field (as near a speaker)
or a heat source (A/C or heater duct).
• Before choosing a mounting location, decide where to route the
monitor cable. The installation requires an appropriately sized hole to
accommodate whichever cable your system has:
33

• CAMLCD-INT-56/CAMLCD-INT-70: This monitor has an in-


put/power/trigger wiring harness that has two camera inputs,
power/ground, and two trigger wires.
• CAMLCD-70: This monitor has a single output cable that ei-
ther connects to a CAMBOX-4NTSC/CAMBOX-4PAL con-
trol box or to a CAMDVR-4-B digital video recorder. The
CAMBOX-4NTSC/CAMBOX-4PAL functions as the central
input/output “control box” for use with the CAMLCD-70 for
a split-screen capable, four-camera system. Alternatively, the
CAMDVR-4-B requires this monitor as the system display.
Many holes or an appropriately sized conduit will be needed to
accommodate all inputs and outputs for either of these systems.
• CAMLCD-INT-70-B: This monitor has an input/power/trigger
wiring harness that has four camera inputs, power/ground, and
four trigger wires.
To install the monitor, follow these steps:

4 Connecting the Mobile Camera System


This section describes how to connect four Mobile Camera System con-
figurations:
• Option 1: System configured with a CAMLCD-INT-56 monitor (as in
the CAMSET56-NTSC-2/CAMSET56-PAL-2) or CAMLCD-INT-70
monitor
• Option 2: System configured with a CAMLCD-70 monitor and
CAMBOX-4NTSC/CAMBOX-4PAL (as in the CAMSET70-
NTSC-4/CAMSET70-PAL-4)
• Option 3: Option 3: System configured with a CAMLCD-INT-70-B
monitor (as in the CAMSET70-NTSC4B/CAMSET70-PAL4B)
• Option 4: Option 4: System configured with a CAMLCD-70 monitor
and CAMDVR-4-B digital video recorder

Option 1: Connections for system configured with


CAMLCD-INT-56/CAMLCD-INT-70/CAMLCD-MIR monitor,
as in the CAMSET56-NTSC-2/CAMSET56-PAL-2/
CAMSETMIR-4RW
For an illustration of a typical installation, see Figure 7 on page 40.
1. The included input/power/trigger wiring harness (CAMADP-INT-2)
has the following connections:
• Red (RED/DC INPUT): Connect this to the 12V or 24V vehicle
battery. To avoid drawing current when the vehicle is not run-
ning, connect this wire to the vehicle ignition “accessory” or
“on” position.
• Black (BLK/GND): Connect this to the vehicle or chassis ground.
• Green (GREEN/REVERSE): Applies a 12V–24V signal to the
green wire functions as a trigger to display CAM1 on the monitor.
If the camera connected to the CAM1 input is used in a standard
rear-view application, you can connect the green wire to the re-
verse light circuit of the vehicle for automatic display of the rear-
view camera when the vehicle is in reverse. When this trigger is
removed, the monitor will return to standby mode with no image
displayed.
Connecting the Mobile Camera System 37

For any other configuration, connect a suitable 12V–24V trigger


to this wire to signal when the monitor should view CAM1. This
wire has priority over the white wire (CAM2) when both wires
are triggered.
• White (WHITE/CAM2): Connect a 12V–24V signal to this wire
to trigger when the monitor should display CAM2. The green
(CAM1) wire trigger will override a trigger from this wire.
• CAM1 and CAM2: Connect cameras to these inputs. A CAMCA-
BLE-SHORT/-5/-10/-15/-20/-40 connected to one of these in-
puts can provide camera cable extension up to 131 ft (40 m). With
the CAMADP-EXT, two CAMCABLE-SHORT/-5/-10/-15/-20
cables can also be connected in series to achieve lengths up to
131 ft (40 m).
• MONITOR: Connect this 13-pin connector to the monitor.
2. Any connections made outside the vehicle interior (camera cable
extensions, for example) should be wrapped in the waterproofing tape.
Option 2: System configured with CAMLCD-70 monitor
and CAMBOX-4NTSC/CAMBOX-4PAL (as in the
CAMSET70-NTSC-4/CAMSET70-PAL-4)
A example system is shown in Figure 8 on page 41:
1. One to four cameras can be connected to CAMERA inputs 1 to 4.
Camera connections are made through 6-pin-plug/4-pin-receptacle
adapters (included with the CAMBOX-4NTSC/CAMBOX-4PAL and
with the CAMSET70-NTSC-4/CAMSET70-PAL-4).
A CAMCABLE-SHORT/-5/-10/-15/-20/-40 connected to one of these
inputs can provide camera cable extension up to 131 ft (40 m.
Alternatively, using the CAMADP-EXT, two CAMCABLE-SHORT/
-5/-10/-15/-20 cables can also be connected in series to achieve
lengths up to 131 ft (40 m).
2. The monitor is connected through a 6-pin-plug/4-pin-receptacle adapter
to the MONITOR input. If necessary, a monitor extension cable is
included with the CAMLCD-70 (and with the CAMSET70-NTSC-4/
CAMSET70-PAL-4) to accommodate various installations that may
require additional cable length between the control box and monitor.
3. The included keyboard is connected to the KEYBOARD input.
4. The two-wire power wiring harness is connected to POWER IN
DC12-24V input.
38 Connecting the Mobile Camera System

5. Connect a 12V–24 V trigger to the appropriate wire to signal when


the monitor should display Camera 1, 2, 3, or 4. The four-wire trigger
wiring harness is connected to CAM TRIGGER input (Figure 8 on
page 41):
• Green: Trigger for Camera 1
• White: Trigger for Camera 2
• Yellow: Trigger for Camera 3
• Blue: Trigger for Camera 4
The priority from highest to lowest for the camera triggers is: Camera
1 > Camera 2 > Camera 3 > Camera 4. In other words, the Camera 1
trigger has the highest priority and overrides other triggers. Connect
a 12–24V trigger to the appropriate wire to signal when the monitor
should display Camera 1, 2, 3, or 4.

6. The control box includes mirror/normal (MIR/NOR) switches for


each of the four camera inputs. Each switch can be set to the driver’s
preference.
7. RCA connections for audio and composite video are included for
connection to a VCR or DVR system.

3. Connect 12V–24V to the red wire.


4. Connect vehicle or chassis ground to the black wire.
5. Connect camera trigger wires as follows:
• green/red: trigger for Camera 1
• blue/red: trigger for Camera 2
• brown/red: trigger for Camera 3
• black/red: trigger for Camera 4
The priority from highest to lowest for the camera triggers is: Camera
1 > Camera 2 > Camera 3 > Camera 4. In other words, the Camera 1
trigger has the highest priority and overrides other triggers.
7. Connect a 12V–24V trigger to the appropriate wire to signal when the
monitor should display Camera 1, 2, 3, or 4.
8. Any connections made outside of the vehicle interior should be
wrapped in waterproofing tape.

Option 4: System configured with CAMLCD-70 monitor


and CAMDVR-4-B Digital Video Recorder
The CAMDVR-4-B digital video recorder system requires the CAMLCD-70
monitor if a system display is desired (video can still be recorded without a
monitor.) If you are using this system, also note that the four included cam-
era extension cables—two 16.5 ft (5 m) and two 33 ft (10 m) cables—are
different from the CAMCABLE-SHORT/-5/-10/-15/-20/-40 cables. They
are not interchangeable. For installation and operation instructions, refer to
the manual included with the CAMDVR-4-B system.

After the installation, test the emergency warning system to ensure that it
is operating properly. Also test all vehicle functions, including horn op-
eration, vehicle safety functions, and vehicle lighting systems to ensure
proper operation. Ensure that the installation has not affected the vehicle
operation or changed any vehicle safety functions or circuits.
Do not test the sound and light system of the vehicle while driving. Oper-
ating the vehicle warning systems may pose a hazard to the operator and
other drivers if the systems do not function as expected. Test the vehicle
only in a controlled environment.
After testing is complete, provide a copy of these instructions to the in-
structional staff and all operating personnel.
