Re: Help with back up camera
I wired a 48V relay to the Rev wire from FNR switch. then broke the 12V thru the relay to turn camera on. Works perfect. Different strokes...

Re: Help with back up camera
Well, after screwing with this for most of the morning here is the result, I hooked the camera up to the wires feeding the reverse buzzer, and yes they are 48 volts, the camera did not come on, I thought it might though. I could hook it up to my 48/12 reducer but then the camera would always be on, don’t want that, I really want the camera to come on when I engage reverse. I would think I could hook a 48/12 reducer to the wires feeding the reverse buzzer and feed the camera 12V that way, although there is not much room behind the dash to fit the reducer. I did read another member installed the same reverse camera last week, I have tried to reach out to him for guidance on what he did but have not managed to get a response, anyone have any other ideas?

Re: Help with back up camera
Before you go any further check that the camera still works. After connecting 48v to it I doubt that it still does.

Just went out there and hooked it up to one of my 8v batteries it works perfectly, I then hooked it up to 12v car, also worked correctly, so I know the camera and monitor work fine, so I am back to figuring out how to use the reverse buzzer, or another way for it to turn on when putting the cart into reverse. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, thank you |

The FNR switch is fed with 48V. Take the Rev side of that switch to a 48VDC relay. You will need battery negative to the other side of the relay coil for it to energize. Then take 12V to the common side of the relay contacts. Take another wire from the NO contacts to the camera. When you switch to rev, the camera will come on. However, I agree with TMZ222 that it might be best to take the 12V from your switched reducer to the camera and have the camera on whenever the KS is ON. Either way will work. The relay set up described above can also be used for a backup light if one was needed. See bottom link for a small LED light that can be used for the BU light. Link to relay that can be used if you go that way. https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Automo...7847166&sr=8-3 I usually use this style relay, but it requires two sizes of female push on terminals to wire, which I use all the time. May not be what you want to use. https://www.amazon.com/Potter-Brumfi...7847304&sr=8-2 7W LED light bar I've used for BU light on a cart in conjunction with relay set up from FNR switch. https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Slim-Si...847395&sr=8-37 |
