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
specically designed for use on trailers, trucks, 5th wheels, caravans and RV’s.

Installation
Mounting 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.

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 lights

-Check the cigarette lighter has 12-14V DC Output
-Check the fuse in the cigarette socket adaptor
Camera & 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
