Recommended Tools 

for Installation 

High torque drill, use slow speed 

        (approx 400 rpm)  

Grease Pencil and Center Punch 

        for marking drill point 

1/8” carbide tipped drill bit for 

        starting pilot hole   

Hole Saw 22.5mm (Included) 

Pliers, Crimpers & Soldering Iron 

Multi-Meter  

Zinc Galvanizer or a rust inhibitor 

        for metal (OPT P/N: EMZ)

Safety goggles  

Angle Gauge Sleeve Selector (OPT P/N: SP1022) 

Measuring Tape

Optional Tools

Panel tool (for situations requiring plastic, inner

        panels to be removed)  

Phillips head tip for drill

Wire pulling tool (for routing wires)/ Fishing tool  

Semi-circular metal file (for smoothing hole

        edges when necessary)- DO NOT use fingers
        to test holes for burrs or smoothness. 
        EDGES ARE SHARP!!!   

Determining Sensor Position: Measure Twice, Cut Once!

Inspect behind the bumper in the approximate mounting area to check for any 
possible obstructions. 

A proper installation will take into consideration two factors: 

(1) Placement: 

height and distance either side of bumper center.  

(2) Angle: 

accurate detection depends on the correct sensor angle.

The sensors need a 1” clearance space behind the bumper to be completely inserted. 
Some bumpers have an outside cover or fascia and a metal backing. You may have to 
drill through both layers to ensure you have enough clearance in order to fit the 
sensors. Other bumpers require some removal of foam backing. 

CAUTION: Be careful of hot engine parts and/or sharp edges under bumper.

DO NOT INSTALL SENSORS ABOVE EXHAUST PIPE. 
Doing so may cause false alerts.
