2WelcomeFurrion FOS48TAPK-BL Digital Wireless Observation SystemIncludes FRCBRKT-BL Mounting BracketFurrion FRCBRKT-BL Digital Wireless Observation SystemFor vehicles with FRCBRKT-BL Mounting Bracket pre-installed.Thank you for purchasing a Furrion Digital Wireless Observation System.Furrion’s digital wireless observation system is one of the easiest rear view camera systems to install in your trailer, truck or RV. All that is required is a connection of a single DC power supply to the rear camera from a running light power source. The Furrion digital wireless observation system uses digital wireless technology giving the major benet of superior signal transmission with low interference on a single bandwidth channel. This means the Furrion camera unit eliminates the interferences which other analogue signal systems are subject to, meaning the Furrion digital system gives you a clearer picture of what is behind you no matter where you are.This Furrion system with integrated antenna attached to the camera has been specically designed for use on trailers, trucks, 5th wheels, caravans and RV’s.This system has been designed for extended range applications or security monitoring.Before installation and use, please read all instructions carefully. This will ensure safe use and reduce the risk of injury to persons.

4IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSREAD THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE SYSTEMCaution There are no user serviceable parts in the Furrion Digital Wireless Obser-vation System. Do not disassemble or attempt any repairs. There are no fuses or disconnects in the Furrion Digital Wireless Obser-vation System. Install external fuses/ breakers as required.Electrical Safety Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or similar. A battery or 12 or 24V DC electrical-system presents a risk of electrical shock or burn hazard. Ensure all power sources are isolated before installa-tion. Use insulated tools when working with a power supply. camera only to a circuit provided with a maximum branch-circuit over current protection device.Installation Ensure correct polarity of DC power supply to the camera Installation & wiring of this product require specialist skill. To ensure prop-er installation and to ensure safety, please seek a specialist technician. Only use parts supplied or recom-mended. Use watertight connectors for camera power supply cable to power source. Use 16AWG or larger cables to sup-ply power to the camera unit. Connect rear the camera to a 8-30V DC circuit only. Don’t route wiring in areas that may get hot. Take necessary precautions when working at elevated levels. Do not wash the vehicle with an automatic car wash or high pressure water. This may damage the camera.Care Use a wet cloth to clean the cam-era lens. A dry cloth may scratch the camera lens. -bre cloth, do not use course or abras-sive materials. Do not use alcohol or amonia based products to clean the LCD screen.

6InstallationMounting Bracket(If the FRCBRKT-BL Mounting is pre-installed please go to page 9)Suitable installation position• Where practical, as high as possible at the rear of the vehicle.• In the horizontal centre of the vehi-cle or as close as. Caution• Ensure there are no electrical cables, gas lines, pipes or other im-portant parts behind where the drill holes will be.• During installation, remove the key from the ignition & isolate the 12v or 24v power source.Suitable installation position..• Mount the camera directly above the red running lights.• At least 2” away from any lighting. Close proximity to lights may cause image blooming, blurring and re-duced night vision performance. • The area should be at with enough surface area to accommodate the bracket.• The surface area should be clean & dry for a watertight installation.• Ensure that power can be fed to the installation area from within the vehicle.Camera BracketVehicle CentreVehicle Roof
7Installation1 Use the Bracket Gasket to mark and outline where the centre hole will be drilled then drill a 5/8th” hole.2 Feed the supplied 6ft Camera Power Cable through the gasket. Ensure the bare wire end of the cable goes into the vehicle and the at side of the gasket faces inward.Bracket GasketVehicleWallCamera PowerCableMounting BracketWiring the CameraElectrical Power• To use the Digital Wireless Observation System for observation purposes, it needs to be wired to a constant 12V/ 24V power source. e.g If connected to run-nig lights, the running lights must be on for the system to operate.• To use it as a reversing camera, it can be wired to a circuit that comes on when the vehicle is reversing.e.g reversing lightsConnects to CameraConnects to 12V/ 24VPower Supply• Ensure correct polarity when wiring the cables. RED + BLACK -• Wire connections & terminals must be sealed to be waterproof.• When connecting wires, ensure the circuit is isolated by disconnect-ing the - negative terminal on the battery.
83 Mount the gasket & bracket to the rear of the vehicle. Ensure that the Camera Power Cable does not get caught between the vehicle wall & gasket or the Bracket & Gasket.3 Fix the Gasket & Bracket to the rear of the vehicle using 4 x #2 head 3/4” self tapping screws. (other screws can be used depending on side wall material.) Ensure the sealing lip around the edge of the gasket is seat-ed over the edge of the bracket before fully tightening the screws.VehicleWallBracketInstallationMounting BracketMounting BracketIf only installing the FRCBRKT-BL Mounting Bracket, secure the Camera Power Cable inside the mounting and attach the cover.
9InstallationCamera InstallationFRCBRKT-BL Pre-install onlyIf installing to a pre-installed FRCBRKT-BL Mounting Bracket, remove the cover by unscrewing the 2 screws.1 Locate the Camera Power Con-nector from within the Bracket and connect it to the Camera Plug.2 Secure the camera to the Bracket using the 4 screws.CameraPlugCameraPower Connector2 Ensure the camera antenna is secured tight.
10InstallationCamera PositioningPositioning the Camera• Adjust the camera up or down then check the view via the monitor.• If the camera is to be used as park-ing camera, part of the vehicle, such as the bumper, should be visible on the monitor.The camera can be tilted up & down to obtain the best viewing angle.
11InstallationMonitor InstallationPositioning the Monitor• Ensure the the is placed so that it does not obstruct vision when driving.• Do not place in an area where it might interfere with driving.• The surface area should be clean, smooth & at.Connecting the Monitor• Route the power cable to the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket/12/24V power outlet. The cable must not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.\• Insert the small 12/24 Volt DC plug of the power cable into the right side of the monitor.• Plug the 12/24 Volt cigarette lighter plug into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket.With the lock open, position the mount.Press mount down against the surface.Push the mount lock down.Adjusting the View Angle• Swivel & Tilt the mount to set the optimum viewing angle.• Lock the position by tightening the locking screws. 11

The vehicle may need to be running1. Bring the monitor to within close proximity for pairing.2. Press the Power button to turn on the monitor.3. Press the Menu button, this will bring up 4 icons on the screen. 4. Use the Up & Down buttons to scroll across to the Pair icon. 5. Press the Power/ Conrm button to start pairing. A Pair icon will be displayed. 6. Press the small button on the underside of the camera for 2 seconds.7. An OK Pair icon will be displayed once pairing is complete.
13OperationPicture ControlUsing the Up & Down buttons to navigate and adjust and the Power/ Conrm but-ton to conrm selections, the monitors view settings can be adjusted to suit various viewing preferences.Picture SettingsPicture RotationBrightnessContrastColorPairingPAIRING FAILED will appear on the monitor after 13 seconds if the pairing proce-dure has been unsuccessful.*For better pairing results, bring the monitor closer to the camera.Unpairing To unpair the camera from the monitor, exit the menu, press & hold Down for 5 seconds.
14TroubleshootingProblem Solution / IssueMonitor won’t turn on -Check that power cable is connected-Check the cigarette lighter has 12-14V DC Output-Check the fuse in the cigarette socket adaptorCamera & Monitor won’t pair-Check if the camera is receiving power-Reduce the distance between the camera & moni tor during pairing.-Make sure to hold the camera pairing button for 2 seconds.Intermittent/ Weak signal icon appears correctly - it should be vertical.Distance between camera & monitor is too great.Interference from overhead power lines may be affecting the signal.Try unpairing and pairing.
