Installing MagicWatch
6.2
Fitting the sensors
The sensors must be correctly aligned for the device to work prop-
erly.
If these point to the ground, irregular ground surfaces such as
bumpsmay be interpreted as obstacles. If they point too far up,
obstacles will not be detected at all.
Note the following points during installation:
When selecting the installation location, observe the following instructions
fig. 13, page 6.
The maximum range is approximately 1.2 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 should be between 40 cm
and a maximum of 60 cm (see fig. 14 and fig. 15, page 7).
At an installation height of 50 cm to 60 cm, the sensor must be mounted
at an angle of 0° to the ground (i.e. parallel to the ground). For installa-
tion, find a section of the bumper section that is as vertical as possible to
the ground (see fig. 14, page 7).
At an installation height of 40 to 50 cm, the sensor must be installed at
an angle of 5° to the ground (see fig. 15, page 7).
The distance between the sensors should not exceed 80 cm.
The installation location should be as flat as possible.
Note that the sensors must be aligned in a particular direction. The top
side of the sensor is labelled "UP" (see fig. 12, page 6). You will also find
a notch in the respective rubber section.
Fit the sensors at regular intervals along the total width of the vehicle in
order to guarantee optimum monitoring (see fig. 13, page 6).
It is possible to paint the sensors, but not with a multicoat paint, as this
impairs the functionality of the sensors.
