INSTALLATION
Mounting the Radar Sensors
Follow the below illustrations and steps carefully. The sensors
must be mounted correctly for the BSM-200 system to
function properly.
1. Assemble the sensors to the provided adjustable mounting
brackets.
2. Use all the provided hardware (screw sets) to ensure that the
sensor/bracket assembly is secure and will not loosen over
time due to vibration.
3. Remove the vehicle’s rear bumper. Mount the two sensor/
bracket assemblies, (one on each side of the vehicle’s body).
See Fig 1-3 for ideal mounting angle, depth, and height.
• Depth: at least ½ in (1cm) from the vehicle body. Make
sure they are not blocked by any vehicle body parts
• Height: 1-1½ ft (30-45cm) above the ground
• Position: mount the sensors straight (Fig. 2-A), do not
rotate them vertically or at an angle (Fig. 2-B). Make sure
the sensor cables are pointing outwards and not inwards
(Fig. 2-C).
• Angle: follow Fig. 3 and use the provided angle ruler to
adjust the sensors’ mounting brackets to achieve the
required sensor angle.
1. Hold the angle ruler (with the side labeled R facing
up) against the passenger-side sensor and adjust the
brackets so the arrow on the ruler is at a straight line
with the vehicle’s body line.
2. Flip the ruler over so the side label L is facing up
and hold it against the driver-side sensor. Adjust the
brackets accordingly.
