MODULE/SENSOR:
Select location for the model on the inside of the truck bed
(fig 3)
. Important: The
location of the Module must correspond with the Sensor device. When the gate is
closed, the Sensor device must be within 1” of the module to send the signal. It should
be as close to the Module unit as possible without touching it
(fig 4)
.
Module placed on the inside side panel of
the back of the truck and allows LED Signal
device to reach top of panel.
When gates closed the module and
sensor are within 1” without touching.
Module
1. After marking locations for each component, clean all surfaces where components
will be placed with rubbing alcohol.
2. Adhere Module: Remove adhesive
paper and adhere to inside of truck
bed. Make sure LED signal is facing
correct direction and sits on truck
panel as outlined previously.
3. Remove adhesive paper and adhere the
LED Signal directly to the top bed rail on
the outside of the cover of the car.
Note: The LED bulb should face the trucks
side mirror
4. Remove adhesive paper and adhere the Magnetic
Sensor directly to gate of the truck, making sure
that when the gate is CLOSED it’s within 1”
proximity to the Module.
Note: Adhesive can be removed from
vehicle using rubbing alcohol.
Operating Instructions
1. Turn unit on by pressing the power button on the side of the main module –
one red flash will appear on the LED signal the power is “on”.
2. If the Tailgate is left open, the Magnetic SENSOR (installed on the gate) will
activate the switch on the MAIN MODULE and the connected LED Signal
(installed on the truck) will then send a light signal that can be seen in the
drivers side mirror that the gate is down.
An Open Tailgate = 1 red flash every 2 seconds on the LED.
3. Close the Tailgate. No LED signal will appear.
Note: if Low Battery the LED signal will flash yellow 2 times every minute.
Troubleshooting
Not turning on.
1. Check to make sure the switch is “ON”.
2. Check if the battery installed properly.
3. Change batteries
When car tailgate is closed, if LED continues to flash signaling tailgate is open.
1. Check if the sensor has the magnet in the case.
2. Check the distance of the sensor to sensor module, it needs to be within
1" of sensor module end that is opposite the switch.
5. Optional screws (included)
can be used as a permanent
alternative to the adhesive.
