Click the ELM button to activate the test, which will take about 60 seconds. After the
test is complete any activated ELM positions will be reported, noting the distance of any
ignored object for each sensor. If any positions are activated, please check the area around
the sensor and ensure the detection is not caused by a foreign object (e.g. a toolbox).
The test will fail if:
• Sensors are connected or disconnected during the test.
• The objects around the sensor are moved or changed.
IMPORTANT: The test can be skipped, but correct operation then cannot be
guaranteed. We strongly recommend running this test. Skipping the test will be
recorded to the installation log file.
If successful, the ELM button will have a green line below it and the Turn Test button will
become available.

5.11 Turn Test (Recommended)
This test will involve driving the vehicle slowly. It can be performed in a very short space of
a few metres. This should not be performed on a public road and the PC should not be
operated by the driver. It needs only a few metres slowly forward, slight turn to the left at
full lock, slight turn to the right at full lock and then to reverse slowly a few metres.
IMPORTANT: Please ensure it is safe to perform the manoeuvres before running the
test. The configuration software will ask the driver to do the following:
1 Drive the lorry forwards a few metres. A beep will sound on the PC. Stop the
vehicle.
2 Turn the steering wheel full lock to the left and drive for ~1 second. A beep will
sound on the PC. Stop the vehicle.
3 Turn the steering wheel full lock to the right and drive for ~1 second. A beep
will sound on the PC. Stop the vehicle.
4 Straighten up and reverse the vehicle a few metres. A beep will sound on the
PC.
Stop the vehicle.
The software will inform the user of the progress. It will provide an audible indicator on the
PC after each stage passed, or if a failure occurs at any time.
If the test is skipped, this will be noted on the progress bar and in the installation log written
to the algorithm ECU. The ELM button will become available.

IMPORTANT: The test can be skipped, but correct operation then cannot be
guaranteed. We strongly recommend running this test. Skipping the test will be
recorded to the log file.
Once this test is complete, the Turn Test button will have a green line below it and the Export
to ECU button will become available.

5.12 Export to ECU
When the final test is complete, click the Export to ECU button. This is necessary to export
the vehicle configuration, sensor configuration, and test results to the algorithm ECU
before exiting the configuration software to finish the installation. The software will take a
few seconds to send the data. When complete, the configuration software will report that
the files were sent successfully then restart the system. Once complete the Export to ECU
button will have a green line below it.
If the test is skipped, this will be noted on the progress bar and in the installation log written
to the algorithm ECU. The Export to ECU button will become available.

Before disconnecting, save the programmed configuration file, fitting log and error logs
from the COMMS menu for later reference. Once finished, disconnect from the algorithm
ECU using the button in the ECU connection area, close the configuration software and
disconnect the USB cable.
Restart the vehicle’s electrical system with the system disconnected from the PC. The system
will reboot into normal standalone mode. If configuration was completed the alarm will display
a self-test on start-up. The system will now detect moving objects in the detection area.

5.13 Confirming Correct Installation
To confirm the system is working with a parked vehicle do one or more of the following:
- Place an object within 1m of the front sensor. When the nearside indicator is activated,
a solid yellow visual alarm will be given.
- Move quickly in from the back of the vehicle towards the front on the installation side,
which will result in a solid yellow visual alarm.
- Move quickly in from the back of the vehicle towards the front on the installation side
within 1 metre of the sensor array, with the nearside indicator active.
This will provide a single audible beep in addition to the solid yellow visual alarm.
