Determining installation locations for the sensors
Note
• The sensors must be correctly aligned for the device to work properly.
If the sensors point to the ground, irregularities and bumps on the surface may be interpreted as ob-
stacles.
If the sensors point too far up, obstacles will not be detected at all.
• The information on installation height and installation angle of the sensors refers to an unloaded ve-
hicle.
Observe the following instructions when selecting an installation location:
Ensure that the installation distance from the sensors to the ground is between 40 cm and a maximum of
60 cm.
Ensure that the installation angle of the sensor to the road surface is 90 ° for the sensors to function optimally.
The angle may not be less than 90 °, as the road will otherwise be interpreted by the sensor as an obstacle.
Measure the installation angle with the vehicle in a horizontal position using a protractor and spirit level.
The sensor holders included are suitable for all standard bumpers. For mounting the vehicle bumper at a steep
angle, use the sensor holder 20 ° with cover ring (accessories).
The sensor holders included are not suitable for installation in metal bumpers. For vehicles with metal
bumpers, use sensor holders with a silicon ring (accessories).
The selection of the sensor holder depends on the installation height and the angle of the bumper. Select the
right sensor holder and the appropriate drill diameter
Note This installation and operating manual shows the installation of the standard sensor holders
fitted from the inside of the bumper (see chapter
fitted from the outside using the sensor holders with cover ring (see chapter
Choose a suitable distance of the sensors from each other
Select a flat surface of the bumper to ensure that the sensors can be mounted firmly
ing the sensors on curved surfaces of the bumper may cause the bumper to restrict the detection range of the
parking aid and impair the detection of obstacles.
Determining the installation location for the control electronics
Observe the following instructions when selecting an installation location:
Choose a location that is protected from moisture, dust and heat.
Prepare a diagram for the cabling before mounting the control electronics.
Pay attention to the different cable lengths of the sensors.
Painting the sensors
Note
The sensors may be painted
ed by a specialist workshop.
