1.)
Switch on ignition, engage reverse gear. (Resp. in case of antenna installed in
the front bumper: Power device by the recommended luminous switch.)
2.)
If EPS
®
can calibrate and adjust itself, the
OK-signal
(= 3 tones with different
pitch each) indicates that
EPS
®
is ready for operation
. -
.
Otherwise:-
1.
1.
The
DEFECT
-signal
(=alternating high and deep tones) informs that EPS
®
cannot
operate, and
e.g.
antenna's
connection must
be
checked
and
repaired.
2.
2.
If the loudspeaker does not emit any sound at all, check it itself, its wires and
its connections (as well as the feeding connections to +12V and ground).
3.) Then, while the car is not moving
,
verify
the 3 detection ranges.
Slowly
and
continuously approach towards antenna. At 50 cm distance single
PRE-ALARM
beeps (medium) should start, succeeding faster then, around 20 cm proceeding
in the high (extending)
STOP-ALARM
, and finally in the deep
CONTACT-ALARM
.
NOTE:
If, in case of fast approach,
RISK-ALARM
(fast sequence of high beeps)
sounds,
PRE-ALARM
-beeps are not emitted any
more. (Switch on EPS
®
anew.)
3.a
3.a
If range of
PRE-ALARM
is much smaller than 50 cm, check and enlarge - if
possible - the distance between antenna and car's metal, - and if need be...
3.b
3.b
fix (provisionally first) and connect in parallel a 2
nd
antenna (wire, alu-tape).
If the range remains too small, vary the distance between both antennas.
4.)
If operation of EPS
®
is correct in case of non-moving vehicle,
now verify by
driving carefully and slowly
that in moving vehicle EPS
®
duly operates, too.
4.
4.
If there
is no acoustic signal
at
all, fix ground
connection directly to car's
body.
5.
5.
If slow driving generates 'senseless' beeps, secure that the antenna-sensor
(incl. antenna-wire,
central-unit) is fastened tightly and far enough from road
and wheels, and that nothing is moving within its reach. (
NOTE:
If need be,
reduce antenna's range by coupling it to
ground by
resistor of about
50
kOhm
.)
6.
6.
If loudspeaker buzzes as long as the engine runs, feed +12V directly
from
the
gearbox' reversing lamp switch; - or connect a capacity
(220 or
470µF/16V)
between ground and +12V feeding of
EPS
®
, and inhibit by diode (e.g.
1N4148 or 1N4007) that
the capacity may dump towards the car's +12V-electrics.

NSTALLATION
NSTALLATION
::
::
•
Observe the security directions and injunctions prescribed by car's producer and handicraft.
•
When working on the car's electrics, first - if possible - disconnect battery's minus-pole
(negative) to prevent short circuit risks. NOTE: On account of disconnecting car's battery all
transitory memories may loose their programmed data, and may require a re-programming
or new input or adaptation (car- and engine-management, clocks, radios, heaters....).
•
Verify electrical voltages and polarities only by diode-volt-tester or voltmeter. Other test-
lamps may damage or unintentionally trigger electr(on)ical components of the car.
•
When drilling, take care of existing wires, tubes... and sufficient space for drill's leaving.
•
If not well versed in car electrics, it is commendable to let an expert workshop install EPS
®
.
