3. Sensor painting

Before spraying, check the original vehicle paint code. Spray the primer, ensure it is completely dry before

painting the sensors the vehicle colour. Let the vehicle colour paint dry thoroughly and spray with a gloss

coating to protect the paint as required. The maximum temperature of the oven should not exceed 70 C.

For detailed sensor spraying information see Section 25.

4. Sensor positioning

If sensors are installed within the parameters outlined above it should not be necessary to perform the ECU parameter programming procedure. If sensors are outside these parameters see Section 5 for sensor measuring and Section 18 for the ECU parameter programming procedure. The sensors minimum installation height is 400 mm with a 0 degree angle. If sensors are installed higher than 550 mm the sensitivity should be increased to ensure obstacle detection, see Section 18. If the 22mm or 25mm sensors are installed higher than 550mm consider using angled spacers.

5.0 Bumper marking, removal and drilling Mark the sensor locations on the bumper exactly in position and ensure that any lines drawn on the bumper are done so using a marker that can be wiped away without trace. Take time to confirm all your measurements are correct and accurate.

5.1 Measuring sensor positions

If sensors are to be installed in a horizontal

line, take the measurements as shown above.

If the side sensors have different measurements use the largest measurement for both when programming. See Section 18.

If sensors are to be installed at different height positions, take the measurements as shown above. The vertical offset should not be greater than 100mm.

Remove the bumper, disconnecting vehicle lights as applicable. Drill a 2 mm hole for each sensor.


6. Patch adhesion promoter (F0390) Wear latex gloves handling the Patch Primer. Clean the mouting collars (see Section 7) then the bumper (see Section 8).

7. Mounting collar preparation (F0390)

Clean the mounting sides of the mounting collars as shown above. Fix a double sided sticky pad to each mounting collar leaving the red backing in place.

8. Bumper preparation (F0390) Surface cleaning Clean the internal surface of the bumper applying the Patch Primer on areas slightly larger than the mounting collar size. IMPORTANT

Extra care should be taken when using the enclosed cleaning pad, to ensure that the fluid doesnt come

into contact with the paintwork of the vehicle, as damage will result.


9. Recommended hole cutters

The recommend hole cutter tools for 0390 series are; VPL3312 17mm punch tool VPL3239 17mm drill The recommend hole cutter tools for 0190 and 0290 series are; VPL3299 20mm drill NOTE: Punch tools provide a better finish by forming the hole edge inwards and a clean cut to the paint work, removing the need to paint the hole edges of the bumper.

10. Sensor cleaning, preparation and adjustment (F0390)

Sensor setup a) Remove any excess paint from the rubber surround of the sensors. b) Screw the sensors into the mounting collars. c) Do not remove the red backing film, place each sensor into the holes in the bumper d) Rotate the sensor to set the sensor depth so it is flush with the bumper surface. e) Ensure the connectors point downwards. (Max 0.5 mm protruding). IMPORTANT: Ensure you install each sensor in the hole where you made the related bumper thickness adjustment.


11. Securing the sensors to the bumper (F0390)

Sensor placing a) Remove the red backing film from the mounting collars. b) Fix the sensors in the bumper holes with the connector pointing downwards. c) If required sensors can be rotated 180 degrees without compromising the proper functioning.

24. Product technical features

25. Spraying process Painting the sensors The sensors inner transducer eye itself is made from Aluminium (Pre-Coated). The F0190 and F0290 outer sensor sleeve is made from PBT / Valox material. The plastic masking rings (F0190 and F0290 ) must be put over the central silic on absorber before

painting. This is to prevent paint coating this part, as it would reduce the vibrati on capability of the transducer itself.

Place the four sensors in the spraying tray onto a flat hoizontal surface.

Insert the spacer rings provided securely in position.

It is important to apply the spray in even thin coats from various angles approximately 300mm from the

sensors.

Use more than one coat if required, applying too much spray at one time will form ripples or gather to one edge. Apply an appropriate primer spray to each sensor and immediately REMOVE THE MASKING RINGS.

Important If the masking rings are removed when the paint is dry, it will fracture the paint surface around the silicon band. Allow 20 minutes for primer to dry. Apply the vehicle colour paint following the details described above. Remember to use thin even strokes and more than one coat with an appropriate drying period between coats. Once again REMOVE THE MASKING RINGS whilst the paint is still wet to prevent c racking. Depending on the type of vehicle body paint, it may be necessary to apply a lacquer to the surface paint.
