Opsætning og installation
The Gentex 50-GENK2AM mirror is designed for windshield mounting and requires electrical wiring. Professional installation is recommended, but experienced do-it-yourselfers can follow these general guidelines. Refer to your vehicle's specific wiring diagrams if necessary.
Nødvendige værktøjer:
- Trådstrippere/pressere
- Multimeter (for identifying power sources)
- Skruetrækkere (Phillips og flathead)
- Elektrisk tape eller krympeslange
- Fuse tap (optional, for clean power connection)
Installationstrin:
- Afbryd batteriet: Før start skal du frakoble den negative pol på dit køretøjs batteri.
- Remove Existing Mirror: Fjern forsigtigt dit køretøjs eksisterende bagende view mirror. The method varies by vehicle; typically, it involves prying or unscrewing from the windshield mount.
- Mount New Mirror: Attach the Gentex 50-GENK2AM mirror to the windshield mount. Ensure it is securely fastened and does not wobble.
- Rute ledninger: Route the included wiring harness from the mirror location along the headliner and down the A-pillar to an accessible power source, such as the fuse box. Use trim removal tools to tuck wires neatly and avoid obstructing airbags.
- Identify Power Source: Using a multimeter, identify a switched 12V power source (one that is only active when the ignition is on) and a reliable ground point. Many users opt for a fuse tap in the vehicle's fuse box for a clean installation.
- Tilslut ledninger: Connect the mirror's power wire (typically red) to the identified 12V switched power source and the ground wire (typically black) to a chassis ground point. Ensure all connections are crimped securely and insulated.
- Gentilslut batteri: Once all wiring is complete and secure, reconnect the vehicle's battery.
- Test funktionalitet: Turn on the vehicle's ignition and verify that the mirror powers on and the auto-dimming feature functions correctly (see Operating section).
Betjeningsvejledning
Gentex 50-GENK2AM automatisk dæmpende baglygte View Mirror operates automatically once powered. It features light sensors that detect ambient light and glare from behind the vehicle.
- Automatisk dæmpning: The mirror is equipped with intelligent circuitry that continuously monitors light levels. When bright light (e.g., headlights from following vehicles) is detected, the mirror will automatically dim to reduce glare. The brighter the glare, the more the mirror will dim.
- Indikatorlys: A small green indicator light (as shown in Figure 1) on the mirror's bezel typically indicates that the auto-dimming function is active.
- Power knap: The mirror usually includes a power button (often marked with a universal power symbol) that allows you to manually turn the auto-dimming feature on or off. Pressing this button will toggle the function. When the feature is off, the mirror will remain in its undimmed state.
- Forward-Facing Sensor: A sensor on the front of the mirror detects ambient light. During daylight hours or in well-lit conditions, the mirror will not dim.
- Rear-Facing Sensor: A sensor on the back of the mirror detects light from behind the vehicle. This sensor triggers the dimming action.
Ensure both sensors are clear of obstructions (e.g., stickers, dirt) for optimal performance.
Opretholdelse
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Gentex auto-dimming mirror, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Rensning: Clean the mirror surface and sensors with a soft, lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the mirror; instead, apply it to the cloth first. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the surface or damage the sensors.
- Sensorblokering: Periodically check that the light sensors on both the front and back of the mirror are free from dust, dirt, or any obstructions (e.g., air fresheners, toll passes, stickers) that could interfere with its automatic dimming function.
- Ledningsinspektion: Occasionally inspect the visible wiring for any signs of wear, fraying, or loose connections. Address any issues promptly to prevent electrical problems.
