INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS & USER MANUAL
Rear parking sensor mod. EPS-DUAL 2.0 with DISPLAY
EPS-DUAL 2.0 can be installed only on rear bumper.
The sistem is strictly a driver assistance device and should not be relied upon as a
security device or a substitute for safe driving practices.
Use common sense when reversing and always follow recommended safe driving guidelines.

a) The installation of the antenna sensor, constituted by an
aluminium adhesive ribbon, must be applied to the inner surface of the
bumper. It is of some importance that the zone of application corresponds
to the higher part as regards the ground but also the most distant from the
car body. It is not advisable to install the antenna sensor too low.
b) Disassemble the bumper.

STARTING PROCEDURE

a) Identify on the car body the zone close to the extremity of the bumper and, on
the side where it is present the back-gear lamp, a possible hole of passage
toward the intern of the trunk in order to carry on the RF cable from the antenna
sensor.
b) Through the individuated passage route the RF cable inside the trunk
leaving the fast-on terminal outside. (Fig. 2)

Thoroughly clean with alcohol or nitre solvent (be careful not to use anti-
adhesive detergent) the inner surface of the bumper of the zone previously
identified (see Fig.1) on which will be applied the antenna sensor.
Starting from the zone where there is the RF cable , start applying the adhesive
aluminium tape (antenna sensor) practising a good pressure to make it well
adhere to the inner surface of the bumper *.

4 When the antenna sensor has been attached, covering the whole of the
______bumper from left to right, the excess length is cut off. Place a piece of the
______included sticking material at either ends of the antenna sensor to ensure
a secure fixing onto the bumper surface.
It is recommended (but not essential) to cover the antenna with a black anti-rust
protection paint of the same type that is applied to the underneath of a car
chassis or similar to protect from the elements (do not use silicon paste).
*NOTE:
1) It is important to start and
finish the application of the
tape to about 15 cm from
both ends of the bumper
2) The antenna sensor can
not be applied on metal
bumpers.

Connect the RF Cable coming from the ECU to the antenna sensor.
Apply a piece of sticking material on the connection and fix it on the bumper by
a strong pressure (If the ambient temperature is below 10 °C we recommend
heating both the mastic and the sticking area on the bumper). It is necessary to
use the same material to fix the opposite extremity of the antenna. (Fig. 5).
Replace the bumper and pull the RF Cable inside the luggage compartment in
order not to leave excess cable outside.

a) Connect the red lead of the power cable to the positive cable that
feeds the reversing lamp.
b) Connect the black
-- IT ADVISABLE NOT TO CONNECT TO ANY OTHER POINT OF EARTH
ON THE CHASSIS OF THE CAR --
c) Insert all plug-in connectors into the proper position on the Central Unit (ECU)
as in Fig. 6.
Some vehicles are equipped with a metal crash protection bar insert facing the
inside surface of the bumper. When this metal surface is too close to the inner
surface of the bumper where you have placed the antenna sensor, the distance
signal can be reduced.
To adjust the signalling distance it is sufficient to change the dip-switch positions
(see schematic). Take care that the sensitivity No 1 is the lowest and the number
4 is the largest.
The sensibility that we recommend for most cars is the No. 2.
We suggest to carry out tests to determine the detection range, pointing out that
increasing the sensibility where it is not necessary, can cause more false alerts.

MOUNTING OF DISPLAY

a) Take the display cable from the back of the car to the front, using the
appropriate steps as edges of plastic or rubber seals. Fix the display on the
car dashboard using the adhesive on the back of it.
b) Connect the display cable to the central module by the proper connector.

FINAL TESTING PROCEDURE

a) Turn on the key, insert the back gear. In a fraction of second the control unit
performs a check of the functionality of the system and, if everything has been
done correctly, the buzzer emits an acoustic sound of "OK" (two notes in rapid
succession). Once you have this signal the system becomes operational.
Possible problems and their solutions
1. If the acoustic transducer does not emit any signal check all the connections.
2. If the display starts flashing all the colours repeated 3 times check the
connection of RF cable with central unit.
