Installation
Radar Sensor Location
The Radar Sensor mounting location is key to proper system operation. Ideally,
the Sensor should be centered on the rear of the vehicle at roughly 36" (1 m)
±12" (.3 m) from the ground, and should be a minimum of 5/16" out further than
other surfaces on the back of the vehicle (frame, bumper, box, etc.) to reduce the
possibility of interference with the sensor’s operation. The mounting location should
protect the sensor from impact when backing up to a dock, as well as, providing
an unobstructed view of the rear of the vehicle. The sensor face should also be
perpendicular to the ground.
Before permanently installing the sensor to the vehicle, check to be sure
the area you selected to mount the sensor provides a clear detection zone.
Temporarily attach the sensor in the proposed mounting location, apply power
to the system, and verify nothing is being detected.
