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 inside the vehicle close to driver's side taillight assembly as the main control
box gets its power from the back up light and has all the rear sensors plugged into it. 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.
c)
After completing all wiring, use the double-sided self-adhesive with Velcro attachment included to secure the
main control box to the vehicle.
2. Installation of the Wireless Digital Display
a)
Find a place for the wireless display on top of the dashboard where the driver can see it easily. Place the
wireless display in place temporarily without securing it to the top of the dashboard.
b)
After completing all wiring, secure it with the included self-adhesive on the bottom of the display base.
3. Wiring Power Supply to the Wireless Digital Display
a)
Insert the earphone type plug of the power cable of the Wireless Display into its socket on the back of the
display.
b)
Locate the +12V and the (-) negative wires from the reverse gear for the back up lights under the dashboard
or near the reverse gear.
c)
Strip 1/2" of the wires found.
d)
Connect the red wire of the power cable to the +12V wire (Fig. 4)
e)
Connect the black wire of the power cable to the (-) negative or chassis ground (Fig. 4).
f)
Wrap the connections with vinyl electrical tape.
Note:
You can also connect the red wire to the ignition switch or ACC. But connecting it to the reverse gear or
back up light is better as the display only needs to work when the vehicle is put in reverse.
4. Wiring Power Supply to the Main Control Box
a)
Insert the 4-pin plug of the power cable of the main control box into its socket on the side of the main control
box (Fig. 3).
b)
Locate the +12V and the (-) negative wires from the back up light near the taillight assembly. If necessary,
remove the taillight assembly to locate them.
c)
Strip 1/2" of the wires found.
d)
Connect the red wire of the power cable to the +12V wire (Fig. 3)
e)
Connect the black wire of the power cable to the (-) negative or chassis ground (Fig. 3).
f)
Wrap the connections with vinyl electrical tape.
5. 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. 2). (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)
Refer to Fig. 1 for mounting height and position of the sensors.
b)
Work under the rear bumper to check the internal structure of it before marking the positions for drilling holes.
If the view is blocked, you may need to remove the bumper.
