VuLink Operation & Installation Guide 860-00198-00 REV A Digital Ally, Inc. | Before you Begin 1-1 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, need to continuously record or remember to press record  Link recordings from both systems into the same incident in VuVault™ management & reporting software Installation Tools Needed  Wire Strippers  Tools to remove vehicle trim  Wire Crimpers  Digital Volt MeterCautions 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.  Do not use excessive force when removing the mirror from the windshield. The mirror mounting plate may become separated from the windshield and/or the windshield may break if excessive force is used. If you are unfamiliar with rearview mirror removal seek professional assistance.  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 the air bag(s).  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 and for movement of the mirror so the connections do not get pulled or accidentally disconnected.  Where possible, avoid running cables parallel to other wiring and/or antenna coax that may be installed in the vehicle.  We recommend at least 2 feet of distance between our cabling and that of other systems which may carry a signal for transmit and/or receive

VuLink Operation & Installation Guide 860-00198-00 REV A Digital Ally, Inc. | Installation Instructions 3-1 Section - 3: Installation Instructions Step 1: Remove Body Trim 1. Remove front passenger side threshold 2. Pull the door seal away and remove any side trim pieces 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
VuLink Operation & Installation Guide 860-00198-00 REV A Digital Ally, Inc. | Installation Instructions 3-2 Step 2: Power Ignition, and Ground Connections Remove 6 to 7 inches of the outer jacket at the bare end of the power cable. The Red wire of the DVM power cable should be connected to the vehicle constant +12Vdc. 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 of this power cable connects directly to the vehicle’s chassis. Secure all cables and in-line fuse housing using Velcro or standard tie wraps as required.  It is required that this power wire be tied directly to vehicle power with no obstructions to the vehicle battery such as a cutoff switch or charge guard system. It is recommended that these connections are made directly to the engine compartment battery wiring harness for best results. Step 3: VuLink Trigger Connections Consult the Section 4 diagrams for your specific video system or generic input trigger connection. In some installations, you will use the supplied relay to connect to your desired input trigger. When the trigger is active, the relay will be energized and VuLink will be triggered. If the input trigger is not active, the relay will not be energized. If a relay is required for your installation, located the light trigger input wire from the DVM and connect it directly to the WHITE wire on the VuLink Base Cable using a butt splice connector. Connect the light trigger from the light bar controller to the relay. Make the connections as shown in the tables below: VuLink Base Cable Connections Wire Color Connection WHITE Consult diagrams in Section 4. Do not connect directly to light bar controller output. BLACK Chassis ground RED +12VDC Battery terminal BLUE +12VDC Switched ignition BROWN For DVM-800/DVM-LIVE/DVM-250, connect to BROWN wire of I/O box harness. For all other installations connect to RED wire from included relay. Relay Connections Check Section 4 to verify if your installation requires a relay Wire Color Connection WHITE Connect to +12DVC when emergency lights are active. WHITE Chassis ground RED Connect to BROWN wire on VuLink Base Cable YELLOW Chassis ground
VuLink Operation & Installation Guide 860-00198-00 REV A Digital Ally, Inc. | Installation Instructions 3-3 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 double-sided tape, 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.

VuLink Operation & Installation Guide 860-00198-00 REV A Digital Ally, Inc. | Operation 5-1 Section - 5: Operation Power Control Power to VuLink is controlled through your vehicle’s ignition. There are no manual controls for powering the unit on and off. When ignition is cycled, the VuLink boot-up process will begin. The red and green status indicators will flash in unison until boot up is complete. When ignition is turned off, the VuLink will enter low power standby and will then power off. No LED’s will be illuminated when ignition is off. Testing the System 1. The Green status indicator will be illuminated whenever battery power is present, regardless of the ignition switch position. 2. Turn on your vehicle’s ignition. The yellow and red status indicators will blink in unison as the VuLink is booting up. 3. Once the boot-up process is complete, the Yellow status indicator will flash as VuLink tried to establish a wireless connection with your configured FirstVuHD’s. 4. When a wireless link is established, the Yellow status indicator on VuLink will remain lit as long as the FirstVu is within range. Typical range is 40ft. 5. The Yellow status indicator will also remain illuminated to the FirstVu HD. Typical range is 40ft. 6. Power on your in-car video system (ICV). 7. Start an event recording by activating your emergency lights. 8. The Red status indicator on the VuLink will turn on to indicate the event is being recorded. The Red status indicator on the FirstVuHD and ICV should also turn on indicating that they are also recording. Whenever VuLink is connected to a FirstVu HD and the system is actively recording, all 3 status indicators will remain illuminated. 9. After 10 seconds, press the RECORD Stop button on your ICV to stop the event record. All Red status indicators on the ICV, VuLink, and FirstVuHD will turn off. 10. Press the record button on your FirstVuHD to start a new recording. All Red status LED’s on VuLink, FirstVuHD, and ICV will illuminate to indicate the system is recording. 11. Press the RECORD Stop button on your ICV to stop the event record. All Red status LED’s on the DVM, VuLink, and FirstVuHD will turn off.
