ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
POWER AND GROUND (POWER INPUTS)
Electrical power to the Bendix® XVision® Night Vision System is provided through the vehicle harness. The vehicle ignition wire {(A) Red} should be fused to a 3 A slow open fuse (maximum) and connected to the ignition bus of the vehicle. The ground wire {(B) black} should be connected to the ground bus of the vehicle. The headlamp active wire {(C) blue} should be fused to a 1 A fast open fuse (maximum) and connected to the vehicle headlamp circuit. When the headlamps are on, 12V should be present on the blue wire.
WARNING: Vehicle power and headlight circuits MUST be fused. Permanent damage to the display, IR camera, or vehicle electrical system could occur if power to these units is not fused. Eliminating fuses from circuit will void all warranties.
IMPORTANT: When replacing a fuse, it is important to use only the specified fuse with the correct amperage, as listed above. The use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated may result in a dangerous electrical system overload. Repeated opening of a properly rated fuse indicates a problem in the circuit that must be corrected.
