Section‐1: BeforeyouBegin

Overview of Features

Automatically start recordings on your Firstvu HD™ using the same triggers as vehicle

video systems, regardless of whether the unit is mounted or worn.

Simultaneously start recordings with your vehicle video system, whether started

manually on either system or automatically triggered.

Eliminate distraction and the need to continuously record or remember to press record.

Installation Tools Needed

Wire Strippers

Tools to remove vehicle trim Wire Crimpers

Digital Volt Meter

Cautions and Notes

Please read and follow the instructions and precautions in this installation guide when installing

VuLink.

For assistance, a qualified installation technician or mechanic should be consulted.

To prevent electrical shorts or breakage in the wiring and cabling, do not allow wiring and

cabling to be pinched behind trim pieces, panels, or other physical objects.

Do not run wires or cables in areas where they may become damaged by heat from the

engine or the exhaust system.

Do not install any wiring in the deployment path of any air bags.

When installing the cables or making wire connections, it is recommended you leave a little

‘slack’ in the cable connections to allow for service loops so the connections do not get

pulled or accidentally disconnected.

We recommend at least 2 feet of distance between VuLink and that of other systems which

may carry a signal for transmit and/or receive.

Section‐2: InstallationInstructions

Step 1: Prepare the vehicle



1. VuLink is typically mounted on the windshield near the roofline area. Plan a safe path for

the base cable from the windshield area to your power source and remove necessary

body trim pieces. Remove front passenger side threshold.

2. Pull the door seal away.

3. Remove the passenger side front interior A-pillar cover.



4. Remove the passenger side kick panel & pull back the carpet to expose the vehicle

chassis.



Step 2: Power, Ignition, and Ground Connections

Remove 6 to 7 inches of the outer jacket at the bare end of the base cable.

The Red wire of the base cable should be connected to the vehicle constant

+12VDC through the supplied fuse kit. Connect the Blue wire to the ignition

switch where +12VDC is only present when the vehicle ignition key is in the

ON position. The Black wire connects directly to the vehicle’s chassis.

Secure all cables and in-line fuse housing using Velcro or standard tie

wraps as required. Consult Figure 3-2 below.

To ensure stable operation, power and ground should be directly connected to

the vehicle battery.

Step 3: VuLink Trigger Connections

Consult the Section 3 diagrams for your specific video system or generic input trigger

connection. VuLink has two input trigger options for you to choose from.



If installing VuLink to be used only with MicroVu HD, do not connect the

VuLink trigger wires. The MicroVu HD triggers are used instead.



The Orange wire is an active high trigger input which is tied to a switched +12VDC source when

the desired trigger is active. This wire is usually tied to the emergency light bar controller output.

The Brown wire is an active low trigger input which is tied to a switched 0VDC source when the

desired trigger is active. This wire is used with the DVM-800 and DVM-250Plus and is typically

tied to the IF box output alarm. The wire is the VuLink output trigger. When you press

the record button on your FirstVu HD, VuLink will apply a 1 second +12VDC signal on this wire.

Make the connections as shown in the table below:

Wire Color Function Connection

RED

Battery Connect to +12VDC battery terminal (Use Fuse kit)

BLACK

Ground Connect to vehicle chassis ground

BLUE

Ignition Connect to +12VDC switched ignition

Trigger OUT Consult the diagrams in Section 4 for your installation.

This wire connects to the video system input sensor.

Choose one of the two input trigger options below

BROWN

Trigger IN

Active LOW For the DVM-250, connect to BROWN wire of I/F box.

Optional GND (active LOW) trigger.

ORANGE

Trigger IN

Active HIGH

For DVM-100/400/250Plus/440Ultra/500Plus/750,

connect to +12VDC when the emergency light bar is

active (or any other desired +12VDC trigger).

For DVM-800 connect to DWM Wireless Microphone

Trigger Output (Green).



Step 4: VuLink Installation

Plug the base cable into the connector on the side of VuLink. Prep the windshield glass with

alcohol to remove any dirt or debris. Using the included Velcro kit, attach VuLink to an

unobstructed location on the windshield below the roofline. To avoid possible interference

from other vehicle equipment, do not mount VuLink near other vehicle antennas.



The GREEN power LED will be illuminated as long as it is receiving battery power,

regardless of the ignition switch position.

The DVM‐100/400 models do not have an output alarm sensor. Therefore, VuLink cannot

trigger the FirstVu HD to automatically record if the RECORD BUTTON is pressed on the

front of the DVM, or if the WIRELESS MICROPHONE is used to initiate a recorded event.
