Installation Instructions: TennaCAM 2.0 Auxiliary Camera

Step 1. Determine a good location to install the TennaCAM 2.0 Auxiliary Camera.

1. Temporarily mount the camera in the chosen location using VHB tape.

Step 2. Identify an access point to run the harness from inside of the cab to the exterior determined installation location.

1. If no access point is found, drill a 5/8” hole and use the provided rubber grommet to make the hole watertight.
2. Do not run the cables through the hole yet.

Step 3. Connect the TennaCAM 2.0 Auxiliary Camera to the TennaCAM 2.0.

1. Remove the security panel on the right side of the TennaCAM 2.0 (if not already removed) using the provided T8 wrench. Discard the old security panel.
2. Insert the end of the DV676 Harness into the clip of the new, provided security cover (DV608).

3. Attach the new security cover (DV608) to the side of the TennaCAM 2.0, carefully plugging in the DV676 Harness into the Auxiliary Camera port, and routing the power cable through the space on the security cover.

4. Secure the security cover (DV608) using the provided T8 screws.

Step 4. Connect and mount the DV607 Converter Box.

1. Run the DV676 Harness under the asset’s headliner/molding to the provided DV607 Converter Box and plug it in.

2. Mount the DV607 Converter Box under the dashboard or on the rear wall of the cab, so that it is out of the way, will not be tampered with, and is protected from the weather. There are two suggested mounting methods:
   1. VHB Tape: If the surface allows, use VHB tape to mount the converter box after thoroughly cleaning the surface. Press firmly and hold to ensure proper adhesion.
      1. Note: VHB tape should only be installed on surfaces with a temperature of at least 50°F.
   2. Screw Mount: Utilize the screw mounting extensions at each side of the converter box to mount using two screws (not provided).

Step 5. Connect to battery, power and ground sources.

1. Connect the power and ground of the DV607PHAR Power Harness to the center port of the DV607 Converter Box.

2. Ensure that there is a 5-amp fuse installed in the provided inline fuse holder of the red wire on the DV607PHAR Power Harness. If one is not provided, install a 5-amp fuse.

3. Connect the red wire (marked “BATTERY”) of the DV607PHAR Power Harness to the white wire (marked “+5V PWR to DV607) on the SWI6027 Relay Kit.

4. Identify a good, clean, shiny ground source. Connect the black ground wire of the DV607PHAR Power Harness to the identified source.

5. Connect the SWI6027 Relay Kit to the two breakout wires (red and black) of the DV676 Harness.

6. Install a 5-amp add-a-fuse or inline fuse to the red wire (marked “12V VEH BATT”) of the SWI6027 Relay Kit.
7. Connect the red wire (marked “12V VEH BATT”) of the SWI6027 Relay Kit to a good constant battery source.

Step 6. Mount the TennaCAM 2.0 Auxiliary Camera.

Permanently mount the TennaCAM 2.0 Auxiliary Camera in the previously identified rear-facing installation location.

There are two methods for mounting the auxiliary camera:

Screw mount

Supplies needed:

• Mounting bracket (supplied)

• Sheet metal screws or machine screws
• Nuts and washers

1. Drill 2 holes with the required size drill bits matching the hardware used.
2. Mount the bracket to the machine.
3. Use the 6 machine screws provided, put a drop of purple threadlocker on each screw. Install all six screws to mount the camera to the bracket, adjust for best view then tighten all screws to secure the camera view.

VHB Tape Mount

Supplies needed:

• Mounting bracket (supplied)

• 3M Primer Pen 94 Adhesion Promoter
• Purple Thread Locker 222
• 3M 4950/WI15 Scotch 4950 VHB Tape
• Permatex 29208 The Right Stuff 1 Minute Black Gasket Maker

1. Use 3M primer pen to apply primer to back of bracket and allow to dry.

2. Apply VHB tape to bracket and trim to fit as necessary.

3. Use 3M primer pen to apply the primer to the machine mounting area and let dry.

4. Peel the VHB protective tape off and attach the mounting bracket to the primed area with firm pressure for at least 30 seconds.

5. Run a bead of Permatex 29208 The Right Stuff 1 Minute Black Gasket Maker around the edge of the bracket to make a weatherproof, permanent mount.

6. Put a drop of the purple threadlocker on each thread of the 6 provided machine screws. Install all six screws to mount the camera to the bracket, adjust for best view, then tighten all screws.

Step 7. Connect the TennaCAM 2.0 Auxiliary Camera.

1. Connect the extension cable (STSH345) to the TennaCAM 2.0 Auxiliary Camera’s harness (attached to the back of the Auxiliary Camera).

2. Run the other end of the extension cable (STSH345) from the TennaCAM 2.0 Auxiliary Camera’s determined installation location, through the grommet, and into the cab.
3. Connect the extension cable (STSH345) to the DV607 Converter Box.
