5.1 Determining the place of installation for the sensors
See fig. 3 to fig. 6
I
NOTE
The sensors must be correctly aligned for the device to work properly.
If these point to the ground, irregularities and bumps on the surface may
be interpreted as obstacles. If they point too far up, obstacles will not be
detected at all.
Note the following during installation:
• The distance from the sensors to the ground should be between 40 cm and a
maximum of 60 cm (fig. 3).
• For the sensors to function optimally, the angle of the sensor to the road surface
should be 90° (fig. 3). The angle may not be less than 90°, as the road will oth-
erwise be interpreted by the sensor as an obstacle.
• The sensor holders included are suitable for all standard bumpers. Should the
vehicle bumper be mounted at a steep angle, 20° sensor holders with a cover
ring are available as an optional extra (see chapter "Accessories" on page 7).
• The sensor holders included are not suitable for installation in metal bumpers. If
your vehicle has metal bumpers, you will need special sensor holders with a sili-
con ring (see chapter "Accessories" on page 7).
• Note that the sensor holder depends on the installation height and the angle of
the bumper. Select the right sensor holder and the appropriate drill diameter by
consulting the table in fig. 3. The instruction manual shows how to install the
standard sensor holder (fitted from the inside of the bumper), which produces
the best visual result. Alternatively, the sensors can also be fitted using the sensor
holders with cover ring which are provided.
• Install the sensors in the correct place (fig. 6):
