Recommended Fitting Instructions. Wireless Reversing System

Sensor Installation:

Selecting the Sensor Hole Positions is vital. Before commencing installation it is important to manually position the sensors on the rear of the vehicle to ensure correct sensing area. Place a variety of objects behind the vehicle to get correct readings.

a) The positional height of the sensors above the road surface is vital. The optimum

height is 70cm ± 10 if they are positioned below 450mm however It will be necessary to angle the sensors upwards to gain the correct sensing area, tapered washers can be provided if the above is necessary, always be aware before commencing installation the operating parameters of your vehicle and what you are looking to detect with the sonar system.

b) If the outer sensors are 45cm from the edge of the vehicle, they would sense approx. 15cm wider than the vehicle. To move the sensors in or out from this position will increase or decrease the edge protection accordingly.

c) The sensors need to be out as far as the rear extremity of the vehicle. This extremity to include all equipment attached to the rear of the vehicle, including tail lifts, fork lifts, valves, tipper lips etc., etc.

d) Any continuous overhang can cause sonar echoes, which may confuse the processor. Again manually check position before installation commences

However if the overhang or obstruction is 43cm or less ask for our NS430 model and there will be no need for brackets, as this model ignores any obstruction up to 43cm, such as a full width step, cycle rack etc,

e) It is essential that the sensors are fitted on a vertical surface so they project the

ultrasonic beam parallel to the road

f) Use the masking tape to accurately position the holes prior to drilling g) Drill holes diameter 27 mm or attach brackets h) Insert Sensor Cables i) Ensure Arrow marked on the outer flange of the Sensor is pointing upwards in the

1200 hrs position

j) Press the sensor home into the hole or tubular bracket, it is important that the sensors fit smoothly into the hole, excessive force may cause damage to the sensor therefore affecting the function of the system. Recommended Fitting Procedure (2)

ECU installation a) For all commercial vehicles the ECU should be fitted to the body frame underneath the vehicle. The ECU case is completely water proof and dirt tight. b) For passenger cars the ECU should be fitted in the luggage compartment. c) Power line (RED) should be connected to the reverse light power line and the earth/ground to earth, this is usually carried out in the rear light cluster by a solder connection then covered by insulation tape. d) Plug sensor cable connection into CDU through aperture and secure cable with water proof gland provided. e) Connect sensor cable to plugs from ECU

Recommended Fitting Procedure (3) CDU CDU/Display Installation: Warning this should only be carried out after ID registration. ID Registration: Each system has an individual code supplied from the ECU and the system will only work when ID registration has been completed. This system ensures that there will be no interference from other systems which are in close proximity. This process must be carried out whenever a CDU or ECU is replaced or in the case of an articulated vehicle each time a new tractor is connected to a trailer. Once the ECU has been fitted, turn the vehicle key on. Connect the power cable of the display unit to the cigar jack/cigarette lighter, Place the gear lever into reverse gear then in 5 seconds press down the tiny switch at the under side of the display unit as pictured below. The system is fully operational when the green LED blinks twice. We recommend that subsequently the power cable from the CDU is hard wired to power.

Please note that from 1st February 2009 the registration switch will be on the front right hand side of the CDU. CDU/Display Installation:

a) The power cable should be passed through the base of the CDU bracket

and the other end connected to the cigarette lighter or hard wired. b) Attach the CDU bracket to the desired position in the cab, by using the 22mm

countersunk screws and adhesive strip provided.

c) Push main cable connector plug into the base of the CDU and secure the CDU to the bracket by firmly depressing the units together.)DUccc

Operational tests: a) Reverse towards a number of known obstacles and test distance when

continuous bleep is heard and CDU displays red or in the case of FND model 0.6, stop immediately put the hand brake on, leave the vehicle and measure the distance from the rear of the vehicle. This should be 0.6 metres.

Warning: The accurate operation of the system could be adversely affected by any of the following: Narrow radius obstacles such as wire, rope & cable. Items which absorb ultrasonic waves such as clothing, sponge & snow. Irregular reflection of ultrasonic waves on rough &rugged roads Strong electromagnetic waves close to the vehicle. Mud, rain & and snow covering the sensor surface. Remember: The recommended speed for safe reversing is 5 kmph or 3.5 mph. THIS DEVICE IS A REVERSING AID; THE REVERSING PROCESS IS ALWAYS THE DIRECT RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DRIVER.
