Introduction
Do not perform any procedure in this Special Instruction until you have read the information and you understand the information. Use only proper tools and observe all precautions that pertain to the use of those tools. Failure to follow these procedures can result in personal injury. The following procedures should also be observed.
Work safely. Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance, and repair are caused by failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an accident occurs.
A person must be alert to potential hazards. This person should also have the necessary training, skills, and tools to perform these functions properly. Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this instruction and on the product. If these hazard warnings are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or to other persons. Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard.
Therefore, the warnings in this publication and the warnings that are on the product are not all inclusive. Ensure that any tool, procedure, work method, or operating technique you use that is not recommended by Caterpillar is safe.
Ensure that the product will not be damaged, or the product will not be made unsafe by the operation, lubrication, maintenance, or repair procedures used.
Read and Heed
When configuring the Driver Safety System Forward Facing Camera, it is important that the parts are labeled with the configured address and that those configured addresses are associated with a machine to be installed on. Failure to do so can result in mismatched video.
When configuring the frame rate and quality guide lines, follow the recommendations or consult with your technical representative. Failure to do so will limit the black box recording time frame available.
Safety Section

Physical Installation of the Driver Safety System Forward Facing Camera
Prior to installation of the camera identify a location the meets any customer requirements and will allow the camera view forward of the machine to be unobstructed.
Many machines offer an overhead accessory rail or visor support that can be used for mounting the camera.
The harness will be routed from the Camera back to the DSS Control Module or onboard network switch. The camera is not powered by the ECM. Switched power and an adequate ground are required to power the camera. Select a protected circuit to power the camera and wire a connection terminating to a 155-2270 Connecting Plug Kit to be connected to the 565-5974 Wiring Harness for the camera.
The communication architecture must be understood prior to installation. Review the networking scenarios in the Camera Connection and Networking Options section.

Reference Installation
The camera can be mounted on the interior or exterior of the cab. The camera can be mounted in the standard or inverted position. The reference installation below shows the camera mounted in the cabs interior in the inverted manner. This has been found to reduce the need to clean the camera lens, provide the best field of view, and reduce operator obstruction.
In some instances, a customer bracket or mounting adapter may be required. Evaluation of the machine prior to installation is recommended.
Prior to mounting the camera, it is recommended that the networking architecture is understood, and that the camera is configured.
- Identify the mounting location.
- Ensure that a slot of
6 mm (0.24 inch) by40 mm (1.570 inch) or two6 mm (0.24 inch) holes with40 mm (1.570 inch) of spacing between the holes are available to mount the camera. If not, evaluate the mounting location and drill two6 mm (0.24 inch) holes allowing40 mm (1.570 inch) of space between the holes as required.Note: Ensure that the holes will not interfere with existing machine components or electrical wiring runs.

- Configure the DSS Module to communicate with the Forward Facing Camera. Reference the DSS Application Configuration Section.
- After the installation and configuration have been completed, the validation in the next section can be completed.
- After successful validation, the harness should be secured, and the panels and trim removed should be reinstalled.
Validation of the Installation and Configuration
Once the physical connections of the camera have been made and the configuration is complete. Events can be created to validate the capture of both camera views.
Communication to Zendesk support that testing will occur can be done to allow events to be classified as testing.
Manual Image (4.0 Camera Only)
Manual images can be taken at any time. Ensure that the manual capture is configured. The enable mode does not need to be met. Press and hold the camera LED on the bottom side of the camera for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds audible feedback will be heard indicating that the image was captured. The image will then be uploaded to DSSi and the notifications will occur based on the customer-specific requirements.

Manual Video (4.0 Camera Only)
Manual videos can be taken at any time. Ensure that the manual capture is configured. The enable mode does not need to be met. Press and hold the camera LED on the bottom side of the camera for 1 second. Audible feedback will be heard indicating that the video was started and the LED on the camera will flash while the record takes place. The video will then be uploaded to DSSi and the notifications will occur based on the customer-specific requirements.
