SENSORS INSTALLATION
Recommended locations for mounting the sensors:
CONNECTION DIAGRAM
INSTALLATION AND TEST
- After the installation of the sensors, adjust the axis and the direction, then arrange the wires in good order
- Connect the power wire of the control box with the reversing lights
- Connect the digital display to the control box
- Put the gear lever to the reverse position to check if the display works correctly
Test:
- If the display shows nothing, please check the polarity and the power voltage (>10.5V). Check the display connection, too.
- If the displayed distance is wrong or 0.0 is shown or a long beep can be heard, please unplug the system and try again to insert the gear lever in the reversing position. If the problem persists, the main unit might be defective.
- When testing the sensors, if the display emits a continuous tone or it displays 0.0, please check if some parts of the car or other objects are within the range of the sensors, if the sensor is inadequately mounted or the sensor is under the influence of strong sources of interference
- If a number is shown on the display but there is no obstacle in front of the sensors, please check the position and direction of the sensors. The sensors must be mounted horizontally. If they are wrong mounted, the sensors can detect the registration plate, the spare wheel or the rear spoiler.
- If the problems can not be solved, the sensors can be considered defective.
- For security reasons, the display will only show 0.0, instead of 0.3-0.1, when it detects something within 0.0- 0.4 m depending on the software. In this situation, the driver must stop immediately. When the distance is 0.5 m, the alarm will sound and it will last for 1 second.
NOTES:
- Be aware of the size of the sensor mounting hole
- During the installation of the system, the engine of the car must be switched off
- System performance can be altered in the following cases: heavy rain, paved road, uneven road, vegetation, extremely hot weather, wet or cold, snow, mud or ice on sensors
- System operation may be affected by the presence of other ultrasonic waves, such as a 24 / 12V converter
- The sensors should not be mounted too tightly or too lightly
- The metal bumper can affect the performance of the system
- Do not position the control unit near the exhaust pipe or other wires
- Test the system to make sure it works properly
- This system is designed to assist the driver in parking. The manufacturer does not take responsibility for accidents after installation.
We recommend installing the system at an authorized service center.
