GEMINI TECHNOLOGY 514W User Manual


Installation and configuration tasks should only be performed by qualified personnel.

The parking system is designed as a parking assist device only, it should not be considered to replace care and attentiveness while maneuvering. Always
check your wing mirrors and rear view mirror while reversing and keep a slow speed to avoid unexpected hazards.
The backup assist PDC system comes with 1 acoustic warning loudspeaker (buzzer, master device), 1 waterproof control unit (slave device) and 4 compact waterproof paintable
sensors. The sensors are configurable via the master device according to your preferences and bumper type (contact a qualified Service Center).
1.1 - ACTIVATION:
The buzzer activates automatically when ignition key is switched ON while the control unit activates only when reverse gear is engaged. Once powered, the
control unit carries out a complete operating self-diagnostic test and transmits data to the buzzer. If all 6 sensors are operative, 1 Beep will confirm activation otherwise, a deep error
tone (Bop) will sound followed by the number of beeps corresponding to the faulty sensor. From this moment on, communication remains active between the 2 devices to monitor the
area behind the vehicle until reverse gear is disengaged.
a) Tow Bar/Rear Spare Tire Configuration
When a vehicle has a tow bar or a rear spare tire, the control module can be configured to push out the impact detection zone past the accessory. The control module must be
configured by a qualified Service Center.
CAUTION: OBSTACLES BETWEEN THE BUMPER AND THE NEW STOP ZONE WILL NOT BE DETECTED.
b) Trailer Recognition
See OPTIONAL CONNECTIONS par.10.1.
c) Bike rack detection
See OPTIONAL CONNECTIONS par.10.1.
1.2 - OBSTACLE DETECTION
During a reversing maneuver, detection of obstacles is signalled by the buzzer with an audible proximity warning which becomes a continuous solid tone when the preset minimum
safety distance (STOP zone) is reached.
1.3 - SENSOR DETECTION INFORMATION
Certain conditions may affect the ability of the sensor to correctly detect obstacles:
1. Presence of human beings, animals or small obstacles or objects/materials with low reflectance might not be detected by the parking system.
2. In case of heavy rain/snow the parking system might give an audible alert even if no obstacles are present: this does not necessarily indicate that the PDC is defective.
3. If the sensors are covered with mud, ice or snow (normal function resumes after cleaning or defrosting).
4. An extremely bumpy road or an incline, gravel or grass.
5. Vehicle horns, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehicles or other loud noises producing ultrasonic waves.
6. Heavy rain or splashes on the sensors and water puddles.
7. Obstacles located below the bumper will not be detected when they are in close proximity.
1.4 - SENSOR FAILURE INDICATION
When ignition is turned ON and reverse gear is engaged, the system provides an instant, automatic, self-diagnostic function. If all the sensors are operative, 1 Beep will confirm
activation. If one of the sensors is faulty or disconnected, a deep error tone (Bop) will sound followed by the number of beeps corresponding to the faulty sensor
until all faulty sensors have been signaled. 2 Bops will confirm the end of the self-test cycle. The system will exclude any faulty sensor and keep the others active. The following is an
example of error indications:
Sensor 1 inoperative => 1 Bop + "1 Beep" + 2 closing Bops.
Sensors 1 and 2 inoperative => 1 Bop + "1 Beep" + 1 Bop + "2 Beeps" + 2 closing Bops.
1.5 - BASIC MAINTENANCE TIPS
 When cleaning the sensors take special care not to scratch or damage the surface: carefully clean the sensors with a soft cloth.
 In car washes which use steam jet or high-pressure washers, keep the nozzle at least 10 cm away from the sensors.
