Illustration 1	g01913054

The cameras provide the operator with a view of the critical areas around the truck. The cameras are also used for identifying objects that were identified by the radar sensors. The cameras are mounted on brackets at the following locations:

• Front

• Rear

• Sides

The camera is a 12/24V, 115 degree view camera, that supports the NTSC video format. The display does allow the use of the PAL video format that is included with WAVS. All cameras have a four-pin connector. The connector contacts are described in Table 1.

Note: The 12V cameras that are used with an existing WAVS system must use a regulated 12V supply or the camera will be damaged.
