Installation and Wiring
IMPORTANT:
(a)
Read this manual thoroughly before proceeding to installation. You can also have the system
installed by a professional installer such as your local auto mechanic/auto electrician/car stereo store. (b) Turn off
the engine and ACC during installation. (c) Double check that all wiring is correct before power on the system. (d)
During installation, avoid flatting, perforating, cutting, and extending the wires of sensors to reduce unnecessary
signal loss.
1. Installation of the Main Control Box
a)
Find a flat and clean surface for the main control box inside the vehicle close to driver's side taillight
assembly.
For trucks,
you may install it inside the driver's side taillight assembly. Keep it away from areas of
high heat, high humidity, direct water contact, direct sunlight, and electromagnetic devices.
b)
Place the main control box in place temporarily without securing it to the vehicle as you may need to adjust
the location of the main control box while wiring.
Note:
After completing all wiring, use the double-sided
self-adhesive with Velcro attachment included to secure it to the vehicle.
c)
Insert the 12-pin plug of the
system bus cable
into its 12-pin socket labeled "BUS" on the side of the main
control box (Fig. 3).
d)
Insert the 3-pin plug of the
signal control cable
into its 3-pin socket labeled "SIGNAL" on the side of the
main control box (Fig. 3).
2. Wiring the Main Control Box
a)
Locate the +12V and the (-) negative wires from the back up light near the taillight assembly.
b)
Locate the +12V wire from the brake light near the taillight assembly. If necessary, remove the taillight
assembly to locate them. Strip 1/2" of the wires.
c)
Connect the red wire of the signal control cable to the +12V wire of the back up light (Fig. 3).
d)
Connect the white wire of the signal control cable to the (-) negative wire of the back up light.
e)
Connect the black wire of the signal control cable to the +12V wire of the brake light.
f)
Wrap all connections with vinyl electrical tape.
g)
Locate the wire of the ignition switch "ON Block" under the dashboard. Strip 1/2" of the wire.
h)
Connect the red power supply wire of the main control box to it.
Note:
You can also connect the red power
wire to ACC. But connecting it to the ignition switch "ON Block" is preferred as the system only needs to work
when the engine is started.
i)
Wrap the connection with vinyl electrical tape.
j)
Run the red power wire from the ignition switch down to the floor, and then to the main control box in the
back of the vehicle (hide the wire under the door or weather trim).
k)
Firmly insert the red plug into its red socket on the end of the system bus cable you inserted into the main
control box in Step.1 (c). Screw on the red threaded sleeve to lock the connection.
3. Installation of the Digital Distance Display
a)
Find a place for the display on top of the dashboard where the driver can see it easily. Place the display in
place temporarily without securing it to the top of the dashboard.
Note:
After completing all wiring, secure it
with the included self-adhesive on the bottom of the display.
b)
Run the display wire from the top of the dashboard down to the floor, and then to the main control box in the
back of the vehicle (hide the wire under the door or weather trim).
c)
Insert the black earphone type plug of the display into its black socket on the end of the system bus cable
which you inserted into the main control box in Step.1 (c).
4. Installation of the Sensors
IMPORTANT: (a) To avoid false alert from the system detecting the ground, the sensors should be mounted
between 50cm to 80cm (20" to 32") above the ground and the face of the sensors need to be vertical or slightly
upward angled (Fig.4). (b) Horizontally, the sensors should be equally spaced if possible or symmetric to the
center of the bumper. (c) The outer two sensors should be mounted about 15cm (5.9") from the corner of the
bumper for better corner coverage.
Note:
The bumper surface for mounting the sensors should be as flat and vertical as possible.
a)
Start with the front sensors, and then the rear sensors.
Refer to Fig. 1 and 2 for mounting height and
position of the front and rear sensors.
