GEMINI TECHNOLOGY 514FW User Manual

EN

Installation and configuration tasks should only be performed by qualified personnel.

Front parking sensors will ensure that a safe distance is maintained to other vehicles.

The parking system is designed as an assist device only, it should not be considered to replace attentiveness while maneuvering at low speeds in and out
of confined spaces nor substitute safe driving practices.
The PDC system comes with 1 acoustic warning loudspeaker (buzzer, master device), 1 resin-filled control unit (slave device), a manual ON/OFF switch with LED indicator and 4
compact waterproof paintable sensors. The proximity sensors are configurable via the master device according to your preferences and bumper type (contact a Gemini authorized
Service Center).
1.1 - ACTIVATION:
The buzzer activates automatically when ignition switch is turned ON while the control unit activates only when the engine is started. Once powered, the
control unit carries out a complete operating self-diagnostic test and transmits data to the buzzer. If all sensors are operative, the LED on the ON/OFF switch turns ON and 1 Beep
will confirm activation. If, on the other hand, one of the sensors is faulty, 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 in front of the vehicle until ignition is switched OFF.
1.2 - DEACTIVATION:
This operation is managed by the loudspeaker based on the system configuration:
1. Manual deactivation via ON/OFF dash switch (to avoid warning beeps in traffic jams, at traffic lights, queues etc.):

Short press (approx. 0,5 sec.) => sensors remain OFF until the button is pressed again or, if the buzzer is connected to the odometer, they will switch ON
automatically when the vehicle speed goes back under the set speed.

Long press (approx. 3 sec., until you hear a Bop) => sensors remain disabled until ignition is turned OFF and ON again. Sensors can be re-enabled via the
ON/OFF switch.
2. Maneuvering time period expired: When the "Deactivation delay" feature is configured, the sensors, if no obstacle is detected, will turn OFF after 30 or 60 sec.
according to the selected configuration. If, during this period, an obstacle is detected, the switch OFF delay time will extend to 120 sec. (max.). If configured with code
"51" (see Configuration table, par. 12.0), sensors are only switched OFF manually via the dash switch.
3. Speed signal (Odometer): Sensors switch OFF when the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed and they automatically switch ON when the vehicle speed falls below
the set speed. Only the LED on the dash switch will light up to confirm reactivation.
1.3 - OBSTACLE DETECTION
Detection of obstacles is signalled by the buzzer with an audible proximity warning when driving forward: the faster the beeping the closer the obstacle. The warning tone becomes
continuous when the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle reaches the set STOP threshold.
1.4 - 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.
1.5 - SENSOR FAILURE INDICATION
When ignition is turned ON, the system provides an instant, automatic, self-diagnostic function. If all the sensors are operative the LED on the ON/OFF switch will light up and 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.
cycle will repeat 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 other ones
active. The following is an example of error indications:
Sensor 1 inoperative => 1 Bop + "1 Beep" + 2 closing Bops.
Sensor 1 and 2 inoperative => 1 Bop + "1 Beep" + 1 Bop + "2 Beeps" + 2 closing Bops.
1.6 - 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.
