During the test you must also take into consideration the fact that, after the first approach to the 
bumper, any subsequent APPROACH without first reset the system , can give false interpretations 
of  the  functionality  of  the  sensor  due  to  special  characteristics  of  the  EPS-DUAL  software 
specifically done  to reduce false signaling in the rainy conditions.

                        

As soon as the system is activated an acknowledgement of the surrounding of the bumper is 

made.
 Consequently 

it is very important

, during testing operation, not to switch on the system while 

you are  very close to the central unit and antenna sensor in order not to have false information 
on the working capability of the system.
