IV.CAMERAMOUNTING

Aftercameraissecurelymounted,plugthecamerapigtailintorearofAgCam®camera.Youcannowplugtheremaining

endofthepigtailintoyourpower/videoextensioncable.Makesuretheextensioncablesaresecurelyattachedandlocked

(¼turnwilllockthecablestogether).



A.TemporaryMounting

o Fortemporarymounting,itisrecommendedthatyouusethesupplied65#pullmagnet.Ifusingmagnetic

mount,fastencameracablewithaziptieorotherstylefastener.Thiswillactasa“safetywire”intheeventyour

cameraisknockedlooseforsomereason.Whenselectingalocation,makesurethattheequipmentsurfaceis

cleanofallforeignmaterialandasflataspossibletoensurethatthemagneticcamerabasewillhavegood

contactandnotvibrateoff.

B.PermanentMounting

o Forpermanentmounting,itisrecommendedthatyouremovethemagnetandattachtoanysolidsurfacewith

two(2)screws.



o Whendeterminingthelocationforthecamera,itisalwaysbesttouseasolidsurfacetominimizevibration.



o Important‐Laddersarenotgoodmountingchoicesduetolackofstability.



o IfyouwillbeusingyourAgCam®forassistinginvisibilityfortowing,youwillwanttopositionthecamerasoyou

canseethedesiredareaandaportionofthevehicle/trailerintow;thiswillgiveyousomereferencetodistance.

YouwillalsowanttousethemirroredsettinginthemonitormenuorremovethemagnetintheMIRfunction

V.CAMERAWARNINGS



A. NEVERRELYONYOURAGCAM®ASASAFETYFEATURE.

Itisuptoyourdiscretiontokeepyourroadtravelandotheroperationssafe.YourAgCam®willprovideyouwith

informationonlybasedonwhatitsees.Operationofmachinerysafetyguidelinesstillapply.



B. TheAgCam®isequippedwithanarrayofinfraredlightemitterswhichareinvisibletothehumaneye.Thisfeaturewill

aidinlowlightconditionsbuthaslimitations.Theeffectiverangeofthenightvisionfeatureis1to45+feetandwill

produceamonochromeimageonly.

DONOTATTEMPTTODRIVEMACHINERYUSINGTHISFEATURE.



VI.CABLEROUTINGTIPS&WARNINGS



Therearetwo(2)lengthsofcablethatcomestandardwithourAgCam®camerakits:One(1)20’andone(1)60’.Ifyouwouldlike

topurchasedifferent,oradditional,cablelengths,pleasecontactyourlocalAgCam®dealer.



A. Cableroutingisimportant;whereyouchoosetorunthecablesshouldnotinterferewiththenormaloperationofthe

machineoranysafetyequipment.



B. ALWAYSbeawareofany“pinchpoints”orotherpotentialhazardstothecable(s).



C. Secureallcablestovehicle/equipmentusingcableclips,ziptiesorotherstylefasteners.



D. IfyouintendtouseyourAgCam®forshortlengthPTOoperatedimplement,avoidexcesscablelengths,ifpossible.

Whenyoudecideonalocation,youshouldfixthecameratoapermanentbracketusing¼inchbolts,andattachany

loosecablesecurelysothereisnochanceofentanglementinthePTOorothermovingparts.



E. IfyouuseyourAgCam®tomonitoracombinehopperorothercombineoperations,takecaretorememberthat

combineshavemanymovingparts.Useextremecarewhenroutingcables,anditisstronglyrecommendedthatyou

useboltstosecurethecamera.Whileitwouldbesufficienttousethemagneticbaseformonitoringpurposesduring

roadtravel,itisadvisedtosecurethecamerawithboltsduringoperationofthecombine.



VII.MONITORINSTALLATION&MOUNTING

A.MountingPrecautions

Removeyourmonitorcarefullyfrompackagingandinspectallmountinghardware.Mountinglocationisthemost

importantpartofthemonitorinstallationasitensuresyouthemaximumvisualbenefitfromyourAgCam®system.

Withthatsaid,wheninstallingyourmonitor,ensuretofollowthesethree(3)precautions:



1. Themonitorisoutofdirectsunlight.Thiswillprolongthelifeoftheunitaswellasensureoptimumvisibility.

2. Themonitordoesnotobstructview.

3. Themonitordoesnotinterferewiththenormaloperationofequipment.
