Note:
Some lights (turn signal/brake/reverse/stop lights) may emit interferences that can affect
the signals the control box receives therefore cause the system to give false alert. After
installation, if you experience
false alert caused by turn signal light, or brake/reverse/stop
lights
,
try to put the control box as far as possible away (at least 1 ft) from the taillight assembly
(or turn signal/brake/reverse/stop lights).
2. Wiring the Control Box
- Refer to
Fig. 4 (LED System) or Fig.5 (Beeper Only System)
If necessary, remove the taillight assembly and use a voltage meter to verify the wires found.
Strip 1/2" of the wires found for connecting wires together.
a)
Locate the +12V and the (-) negative wires from the reverse light near the taillight assembly.
b)
Connect the yellow wire of the power cable to the +12V wire of the reverse light.
c)
Connect the black wire of the power cable to the (-) negative wire of the reverse light.
d)
Locate the +12V wire from the brake light near the taillight assembly.
e)
Connect the blue wire of the power cable to the +12V wire of the brake light.
f)
Locate the +12V wire from a ACC (accessory) power outlet or ignition under the dash.
g)
Connect the red wire of the power cable to the +12V wire of the ACC or ignition.
h)
Wrap all connections with vinyl electrical tape.
Note:
if there is no ACC +12V wire in the rear end of the vehicle, then the red wire needs to be
extended then connected to ACC or Ig12V wire found in the front end of the vehicle (run
the extended wire from the control box to the front end of the vehicle and hide it with the cables
of the front sensors and display under the door or weather trim).
3. Installing the LED Display
(for LED System only)
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
testing the system is working properly, 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 control
box in the back of the vehicle (hide the wire with the cables of the front sensors under the
door or weather trim).
c)
Insert the 8-pin connector of the display into its 8-pin socket labeled "DISP" on the front side
of the control box.
4. Installing the Beeper
(for Beeper Only System)
d)
Find a place for the beeper near the middle of the vehicle on the driver side. Place the
beeper in place temporarily without securing it to the vehicle.
Note:
After testing the system
is working properly, secure it with the included self-adhesive on the bottom of the beeper.
e)
Run the wire of the beeper to the control box in the back of the vehicle (hide the wire under
the carpet or weather trim).
f)
Insert the 2-pin connector of the beeper into its 2-pin socket labeled "DISP" on the front side
of the control box.
5. Installing the Sensors
IMPORTANT: (a) To avoid false alert from the system detecting the ground and for best
obstacle detecting results, the suggested sensor mounting height is between 20" to 32" (0.5m to
0.8m) above the ground and the face of the sensors need to be vertical or slightly upward
angled (Fig. 3). (b) Horizontally, the sensors may be equally spaced if possible or symmetric to
the center of the bumper (Fig.1 and 2). (c) For better corner coverage, the outer two sensors
may be mounted about 5.9" (0.15m ) from the corner of the bumper (Fig.1 and 2).
(d)
Adjustments to the sensors mounting positions may be needed for your specific vehicle.
Note:
The bumper surface for mounting the sensors should be as flat and vertical as possible.
Use the plastic sensor spacers with wedged thickness (included) if the surface of the
bumpers is non-vertical.
For exact color match,
you may have the sensors spray-painted. For best results, spray paint
no more than two thin coats (not to be applied with brush or touch-up). And it is recommended
