1) The width of vehicles vary. It is important to install the Sensors at the ap-
propriate distance and location along the rear bumper or equivalent assum-
ing that the width of vehicle is L, then the space between Sensors is 1/4L
(Sensors must be mounted S1, S2, S3, S4, from left to right).
• Sensors S1 and S4 should be located approximately 1/8L from either side
of the vehicle. S2 and S3 will be located 1/4L from S1 and S4.
If the Sensors are mounted on a DOT type bumper, the Sensor locations are
determined by the vehicle width (L), not the width of the bumper. 2) Sen-
sors should be mounted at an absolute minimum of 16 inches (40cm) to 32
inches (80cm) from the ground (20 inches (50cm) is a good choice, if avail-
able). Sensors S5 and S6 should be located at the top right and left corners of
the back of the vehicle, at vehicle’s width.
