INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS & USER MANUAL

The sistem is strictly a driver assistance device and should not be relied upon as a

security device or a substitute for safe driving practices.

Use common sense when reversing and always follow recommended safe driving guidelines.

EPS-DUAL FRONT can be installed only on front bumper.

a) The installation of the antenna sensor, constituted by an aluminium

adhesive ribbon, must be applied to the inner surface of the bumper. It is of

some importance that the zone of application corresponds to the higher

part as regards the ground but also the most distant from the car body. It

is not advisable to install the antenna sensor too low.

Fig. 1

b) Disassemble the bumper.

STARTING PROCEDURE

a) Locate a passage where, from the outside at the extremity of the bumper, it is

possible to route the RF cable through the engine compartment to the driver's

place behind the dashboard.

b) Through the individuated passages route the RF cable from the

dashboard leaving the faston outside. (Fig. 2)

MOUNTING THE ANTENNA SENSOR

Thoroughly clean with alcohol or nitro solvent (be carefull not to use

antiadhesive detergent) the inner surface of the bumper of the zone previously

identified (see Fig.1) on which will be applied the antenna sensor.

Starting from the zone where there is the RF cable , start applying the adhesive

aluminum tape (antenna sensor) practicing a good pressure to make it well

adhere to the inner surface of the bumper *.

When the antenna sensor has been attached, covering the whole of the

______bumper from left to right, the excess length is cut off. Place a piece of the

______included sticking material at either ends of the antenna sensor to ensure

a secure fixing onto the bumper surface.

It is recommended (but not essential) to cover the antenna with a black anti-rust

protection paint of the same type that is applied to the underneath of a car

chassis or similar to protect from the elements (do not use silicon paste).

Antenna sensor

Connect the RF Cable coming from the ECU to the antenna sensor.

Apply a piece of sticking material on the connection and fix it on the bumper by a

strong pressure (If the ambient temperature is below 10 °C we recommend

heating both the mastic and the sticking area on the bumper). It isnecessary to

use the same material to fix the opposite extremity of the antenna. (Fig. 5).

Replace the bumper and pull the RF Cable inside the engine compartment in

order not to leave excess cable outside.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

a) The central unit has to be fitted on the inside of the vehicle under the dash

board in the more convenient place where the RF Cable has been routed.

b) Connect the black wires of the power cable to the negative pole and the red to a 12

Volt subkey through the activation push-button, (the system is so activated pressing

the button).

c) Connect the twin wires black cable of the harness to the buzzer placed in any place

where you can easily hear it.

d) Insert into the ECU all connectors in the proper position (see Fig. 6)

Some vehicles are equipped with a metal crash protection bar insert facing the inside

of the bumper. When this metal surface is too close to the inner surface of the bumper

where you have placed the antenna sensor, the distance signal can be reduced .

To adjust the distance signaling is sufficient to change the dip-switch positions (see

schematic). Recall that the sensitivity No 1 is the lowest and the number 4 is the

largest.

The sensitivity that we recommend for most cars is the No. 2.

We suggest to carry out tests to determine the detection range, pointing out that

increasing the sensitivity where it is not necessary, can cause more false alerts.

MOUNTING THE BUZZER (mod. EPS-DUAL FRONT)

a) Mount the EPS-DUAL FRONT buzzer using its adhesive in a proper place in order to

ensure a good perception of sound by the driver.

b) Connect the buzzer cable to the buzzer through its plug-in connector.

MOUNTING OF DISPLAY (mod. EPS-DUAL FRONT with DISPLAY)

a) Take the display cable from the electronic module to the rear-view mirror using

the appropriate steps as edges of plastic or rubber seals. Fix the display above the

rear-view mirror using the adhesive on the back of it.

b) Connect the display cable to the central module (instead of the buzzer cable) by

the proper connector.

FINAL TESTING PROCEDURE

a) Turn on the key, press the push-button. In a fraction of secon the control unit

performs a check of the functionality of the system and, if everything has been done

correctly, the buzzer emits an acoustic sound of "OK" (one note). Once you have this

signal the system becomes operational.

Possible problems and their solutions

1. If the acoustic transducer does not emit any signal check all the connections.

2. If the transducer emits an audible warning signal consisting of 2 notes (one high and

one low) repeated 3 times) check the connections of RF cable.

*NOTE:

1) It is important to start and

finish the application of the

tape to about 15 cm from

both ends of the bumper

2) The antenna sensor can

not be applied on metal

ALARM SIGNAL 7 RISK OF CONTACT SIGNAL b) Starting from about 1 meter away from the center of the bumper, slowly approach both hands to simulate a parking maneuver. At a distance of about 40/50 cm will be heard the first intermittent signals and then a contnuous higher frequency sound at about 10-15 cm from the bumper. WARNING: For a correct simulation be carefull to reset the system every time you approach. c) If the system shows to work regularly it is possible to fix definitely the bumper.
