User Manual
Our products are to assist and aid the driver,
not to replace the manual function of the person
operating the vehicle.
Although the PTS is a visual aid and will allow you
to view what is behind the vehicle, it does not
remove the responsibility of driving the vehicle from
the driver. Legal responsibility and safe driving
practise remains with the driver at all times. You
have purchased this product with the understanding
that its use is as an aid only. We highly recommend
that you have this product professionally installed to
ensure that it will provide the functions it is set out
to perform.
Parking Assist System (PTS) helps to provide
assistance when reversing and parking. Driving
skills such as slowing down, use of mirrors are
always essential.
1.
This system is for vehicles with DC 9~27V only.
2. This system should be installed by a
professional auto technician.
3. Route wiring harness away from heat source
and electrical components.
4. It is strongly recommended to check the
position of the sensors before the actual drilling
of the holes.
5. Perform a functional test after installation.

The PTS411 is a 4-sensor parking system that
can be used as a front or rear ultrasonic distance
monitoring device (Dual-purpose). It
electronically detects the area in front or behind
the vehicle while reversing and driving forward.
If the system detects an obstacle, it will provide
alerts with audible tones and visual warnings,
depending on the model purchased. The system
assists the driver when parking and in
manoeuvring situations.
All the detachable sensors are waterproof and
can be easily changed. Combined with
anti-interference and anti-false alert technology,
the system can detect obstacles in a wide variety
of weather conditions and respond quickly. The
system has intelligent detection, which is ideal
for vehicles with a tow-bar or spare tire.
Each element of this system has passed the
most stringent test before being released to the
market. It is reliable at a wide storage
temperature range and becomes very useful
when you are parking on a raining day, snowing
day or at night etc. With the help of a parking
assist system, you can enjoy a comfortable,
relaxed and safer parking experience.

2 or 4-Sensor Automatic Recognition
The parking system can be used as a 2-sensor
system when fitted on either the front or rear of
your vehicle. When using as a 2-sensor system,
make sure you connect the sensors to either
B&C port or A&D port on the ECU.
(please refer to page 30-33)
When fitting this system on the front of a vehicle,
we highly recommend purchasing a set of
sensor cable extensions.
These extend the supplied 2.3m sensor cable by
2.3m making the sensor cables 4.6m long.
Only applicable for PTS411.

Self-Testing Function
For Front System:
Once your vehicle ACCESSORIES is turned on, the system will test all front sensors automotically.
If all sensors are working properly, the buzzer will not sound alert.
If a damaged or defective sensor is detected, then then system will “BEEP” 3 times for alarm.
BEEP - BEEP - BEEP
Notes:
• If sensors are damaged or defective, the buzzer will BEEP 3 times.
• The locations of damaged / defective sensors will be shown on the display.
• The system will not sound alert when sensors (A&D) or (B&C) are damaged or defective as it will
work as 2-sensor front system automatically.
After completing the self-testing function, the system will continue working for 8 seconds (jumper
position “1” in ECU) or 20 seconds (jumper position “2” in ECU) when the vehicle is moving towards or
away from obstacles.

Please find a location without obstacles to activate this function.
1. With the ignition “ON”, change the gear from “N” to “R” 10 times
(Each gear change must be within 1 second).
2. On the 10th time, leave the gear in “R” position, the buzzer will "BEEP" once after 2 seconds, then will do
a long "BEEP" sound for 2 seconds after 3 seconds to complete the learning process.
3. When the learning function is activated, the system will ignore the tow-bar or spare wheel and only
detect behind the vehicle.
Clear the learning function:
1. With the ignition “ON”, change the gear from “N” to “R” 12 times
(each gear change must be within 1 second).
2. On the 12th time, leave the gear in “R” position , the buzzer will "BEEP" once after 2 seconds, then
"BEEP" once again after 2 seconds to complete the clearing process.
Note:
• This function is valid and achievable only if all sensors are working properly.
• If you make a mistake while carrying out the above procedure, leave the gear in “R” position
for 2 seconds to clear the system memory and then start the procedure again.
• If the vehicle does not have a tow-bar or spare wheel, you do not need to use this function.
• Perform a functional test after the learning function is set.

Attention Sensor Maintenance
• After installation, perform a functional
test before use.
• Heavy rain, dirty or damaged sensors may
cause a false alarm occasionally.
• Ensure that the self-testing procedure is
completed and all sensors are are functioning
properly before using the system.
False detection may occur in the following
situations:
Do not wash the sensor with a pressure
washer or scrub them forcibly.
Wash car with low-pressure spray.
Melt snow with water when the sensors are
covered.
Clean the sensors with a cloth or low-pressure
spray when the sensors are covered by dirt.

Notes:
For a 2-sensor front sensor system it is recommended to install 2
sensors in position D&A for the best performance.
On some vehicles, due to the number plates location or bumper
design, the distance between the centre of two sensors (L2) will
be greater, i.e. L2>60cm. The kit will still function, however the
detection of narrow objects i.e. posts will be reduced.

Troubleshooting
1. After installation, the buzzer doesn't work.
• Make sure the wires are connected properly
• Make sure the vehicle has ACCESSORIES
powered ON
• Make sure reverse gear is selected
(the reversing light should be lighted on)
2. Damaged sensor detected
• Make sure ALL sensors are plugged into the
ECU correctly and tightly
• Make sure no snow or dirt is covering the
sensor
• Please check if the sensor is damaged
3. False alarm
• Make sure ALL sensors are plugged tightly
into the ECU in the correct position
• Please check if any of sensors are
"grounding"
• Please check if the rubber ring of the sensor
has come loose (if sensor comes with
rubber ring)
4. Buzzer alarm sound is too low or too high
• Press volume button to adjust the volume to
a suitable level.
5. Learning function is invalid
• Sensor(s) is/are damaged
• Make sure ALL sensors are plugged into the
ECU correctly and tightly
Plug the certified sensors into the ECU and
perform a functional test again
6. If the problem persists:
• For end users: Please contact your nearest
dealer or customer service center
• For installers/dealers:
a) Test the sensors with a certified ECU by
performing a functional test.
b) Replace another ECU and retest the sensors.
Functional Test
Functional testing is
performed by holding a
wooden board (0.3 x1.0m)
standing at the front or rear
of the car, and drive the car
forward and backward to test
each function respectively as
shown in this manual.
