Laying cables
A
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 mal-
functions 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 ca-
ble 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 ad-
ditional cable ties, insulating tape, etc.).
To prevent damage to the cables, when laying them ensure that there is sufficient dis-
tance 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 pene-
tration (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.

NOTE
Do not start sealing the through-holes until all installation work has been fin-
ished for the camera, and the required cable lengths have been established.
