SENSOR LOCATION REQUIREMENTS Sensor installation height and the space between each sensor is important and will vary from vehicle type to vehicle type. Follow the basic requirements below and refer to the vehicle type suggestions that follow. For all sensor mounting locations, the mounting surface should be perpendicular to the ground, and should not point the sensor in a downward direction.
SENSOR LOCATION EXAMPLES Here are some basic vehicle types that the system can be installed on. Each blue “X” represents a sensor. Use these examples as a baseline when evaluating areas on a vehicle for side sensor placement. These general areas should provide the best side coverage and require the fewest door installations.
SENSOR AND SLEEVE MOUNTING Each sensor will have a triangle on the sensor face and the rubber sleeve. Check the alignment on each sensor before following the upcoming steps. Before inserting, slide the sensor most of the way out of the rubber sleeve. The end of the sensor should be just in front of the ribs that wrap around the rubber sleeve.
DOOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS We do not recommend installation into sliding doors. If the vehicle has sliding doors, it will be necessary to find a different mounting location for the sensor. Swing door installations should always start with evaluating the interior of the door for clearance, harness route options into the cab, and appropriate places to drill passage holes if there is not already a boot.
HARNESS ROUTING (14 Sensor System Variant) Sensor harnesses are separated by Left/Right and Front/Rear and will be marked on the harness near the connector. Below you will see a simple graphic to show how the sensor harnesses can be routed to the front of the vehicle where the ECU will be installed. Depending on the length of the vehicle, you may need to use one of the supplied extension harnesses to extend the rear sensor harness.
ECU INSTALLATION First, there has to be a good place for the ECU to be mounted where it can be accessed for service but away from any potential damage while the vehicle is in use. We recommend looking for a place near the dash first. Very often the driver or passenger kick panel will have all of the characteristics of a good ECU mounting location: •...
GPS AND DISPLAY LOCATIONS GPS can be placed in multiple places that will depend on ECU location and available harness routes. Take note of harness length and possible routes and choose the windshield location that will work best. Mount high on the windshield whenever possible. The LED display can also be mounted in various locations, but this will depend on visibility to the driver.
FUNCTIONALITY CHECK After all of the previous steps have been followed, you can turn the ignition on to confirm that the system is working properly. It is best if the area surrounding the vehicle is completely clear of objects that the sensors might detect. Once the system powers on, you should see the display light up.
