Mounting the sensors

The sensors must be correctly aligned for the device to work
properly.
If these point to the ground, irregular ground surfaces such as
bumps may be interpreted as obstacles. If they point too far up,
obstacles will not be detected at all.
Note the following information during installation:
The maximum range is approximately 1.5 m.
So that the corners of the vehicle (indicator lights etc.) can be monitored,
the sensor should not be fitted more than 0.3 m away from them.
The distance from the sensors to the ground must be between 40 cm and
50 cm (see 0, page 6).
The installation location should be as flat as possible so that the cover ring
of the sensor is on the bumper.
The sensor is preset to have a vertical installation angle of
approximately +5°. This means that the cover ring is thicker at
the bottom.
Note that the sensors must be aligned in a particular direction.
The top of the sensor is marked with a ▼ (see b 1, page 6).
Fit the sensors at regular intervals along the total width of the vehicle in
order to guarantee the optimum monitoring.
It is possible to paint the sensors, but not with a multicoat paint, as this
impairs the functionality of the sensors.
To perform the installation, proceed as follows:
➤ Choose an installation location on the bumper which is as perpendicular
to the road surface as possible (see b, page 6).
If the sensor cable is not long enough, you can order one-metre extension
cables (MWCD-1) as accessories.
Caution!
Before making any drill holes, ensure that no electrical cables or
other parts of the vehicle can be damaged by drilling, sawing and
filing.
➤ For each sensor, drill a hole with a diameter of 22 mm in the bumper.
