Installation Installation
Sensors are installed horizontally at a height of at least 60 cm. The viewing
direction of the sensor membrane is always aligned with the centre of the back
of the vehicle.
A central sensor improves the detection quality. Ideally, it should be installed
approx. 40 cm off-centre with the viewing direction towards the centre.
The roof sensors are mounted in the roof area on the outside to the left and
right.
„
When planning the routing of cables, note the maximum length of 40 m
between the Electronic Extension Module and the last ultrasonic sensor.
„
The ultrasonic sensor should not be installed at a distance of more than
35 cm from the rear of the vehicle.
Standard applications
!
Application of the ultrasonic sensors is possible without extensive experience
only in the case of simple rear profiles where no vehicle parts are within the
measured area of the ultrasonic sensors.
Tail profiles, such as those of disposal vehicles, require tests by WABCO to rule
out faults and malfunctions at a later stage. In such a case, please get in touch
with your WABCO partner.
The standard applications listed in the table below are suitable for vehicles with
even rear sides.
