Sensor Mounting:
The sensor element is sensitive to tilt and should be mounted as flat as
possible. The mounting bracket provides many mounting positions so that even
if sensor is not being mounted to a flat surface, the sensor itself will be level.
The sensor is also sensitive to any high current wires near it or any steel
bars or rods. High current wires should be kept away from the sensor. The
interference from a wire drops off very rapidly with distance. When the wire is 2x
farther away the interference drops ¼., if the wire is 3x farther away the
interference drops 1/9. Steel rods or bars affect the sensor by bending the
magnetic field. The magnetic field will have a tendency to follow the steel. Due
to these limitations, we do not recommend mounting the sensor under the dash.
Good mounting locations for the sensor are under a seat or in the roof
headliner. The direction the sensor faces is also very important. The arrow on
the sensor should point towards the front of the vehicle.
