Note:
Sensor kit and 7/12 connector must be purchased from dealer.
DETERMINE A SUITABLE LOCATION TO INSTALL THE SENSOR ON YOUR
TRAILER THAT MEETS ALL OF THE SENSOR ATTACHMENT GUIDELINES:

SENSOR ATTACHMENT GUIDELINES
RIGHT WAY
*Attach on a vertical surface close to front of trailer to allow the wiring harness to reach the 12-pin socket on
the truck.
*Attach on a vertical surface with the arrows on the housing pointed up.
*For best performance and ease of use, the sensor should remain on the same trailer. Additional sensors can
be purchased from your dealer.
The sensor can be attached with the included bracket and adhesive tape, or tie straps. Adhesive tape
attachment is best suited for installation on flat, clean surfaces such as a large frame section. Tie strap
attachment can be used for a vertical post.
Prepare the attachment location by removing any debris, chipping paint or rust and wipe the surface clean.
For adhesive attachment, remove protective backing from adhesive. With arrows pointed up, place the
assembled sensor housing and mounting plate on a vertical surface of the trailer. Push firmly against trailer,
pressing firmly against each corner of the sensor housing.
Note:
Do not install adhesive when temperature is below 32° F (0° C). See your Owner's Manual for
more information.
ROUTE WIRING AND CONNECT SENSOR
Using the 15 in (38 mm) tie straps, secure the cable next to the sensor housing within 4 in
(10 cm) of the sensor, leaving enough wiring to unplug and plug in the sensor. Secure the wiring every
12 in (30 cm) to prevent strain on the sensor or the wiring. Route the wiring along the standard 7-pin
electrical cable.
