How it works
The system works by radiating ultrasonic beams covering the areas infront and behind the vehicle. The beams are reflected by obstructions and re-enter the sensors. The reflected beam information is processed to calculate the distance of the obstruction.
The 4 rear sensors work of the reversing lights power supply and switch on automatically when reverse gear is selected. The front sensors power off the brake lights and power up whenever the brake pedal is applied. The front sensors will remain on for 5 seconds after you stop braking. When both sets of sensors are in operation either because you are braking while reversing or you start reversing after braking then the rear sensors take precedent over the front sensors.
For the rear sensors, when the vehicle is less than 1.5 metres from the obstruction the audible alert will emit intermittent bleeps. As the vehicle gets closer to the obstruction the frequency of the bleeps increases. At 40 centimetres from the obstruction the bleeps become a continuous solid tone.
For the front sensors alerts will only start at a shorter range of 1m to avoid false alerts from other cars when queuing in traffic.

This is an example of the display in action. If you had a post just on one side of the car the illuminated bars would vary and the shortest distance reading would be displayed.

NEW "Swap Socket" Feature
All of our kits now come with the new watertight swap socket feature based 6 inches from the sensor heads, it makes installation quicker and easier. Also should you ever have a problems with faulty sensors or accident damage in the future it facilitates easy replacement without having to remove the bumper again and rewire from scratch. |
Optional Wedges
This system comes with optional angled wedges, giving greater flexibility according to the shape of your bumper. The wedges can be used if your bumper is slightly angled up - or downwards, to ensure the sensor's signal is still sent out parallel with the road's surface.

Maintenance
No routine maintenance or adjustment is required. Dirt, frost or snow accumulated on the sensors may cause the system to activate incorrectly. Clean carefully with a soft cloth. Do not use chemicals or spirits. Applying hot water in frozen conditions may damage the sensors. The sensors can be washed carefully with warm soapy water
