Rosco ultrasonic wireless backup sensor systems provide safety advantages that protect drivers, vehicles
and business profits. These systems are ideal for school buses, work trucks, RVs and other commercial
vehicles. The wireless backup sensor system is automatically activated when the driver shifts into reverse
gear. Small flush or surface mount sensors are installed at the rear of the vehicle. The sensors send and
receive ultrasonic waves that reflect off obstructions and alert the driver to their presence. There is an
audible alarm that gradually increases in frequency as you approach the obstacle, and an LCD screen
displays the distance to the obstruction. A continuous "beep" and red distance indicator alerts the
driver when the vehicle is within one (1) foot of the obstruction.

Both the Flush and Under Mount backup sensor
systems are automatically activated when the
driver shifts into reverse gear.
There are three (3) volume options. They are
HIGH, LOW and OFF. The adjustment switch is
on the back cover of the display unit.
UNIQUE ID
Each control box has a unique ID to ensure
secure data transmission from control box to the
display. The display has the capability to pair
with a new control box. This allows the customer
to replace the display or control box if necessary.

IMPORTANT:
The sensor installation steps are applicable
to BOTH the Flush Mount and Under Mount
Backup Sensor Systems.
The individual sensors are labeled A, B, C, and
D. The sensors should be installed in the
following order:
Sensor A: Outer Driver Side
Sensor B: Inner Driver Side
Sensor C: Inner Passenger Side
Sensor D: Outer Passenger Side
It is highly recommended to install all four (4)
sensors. The system however, will work with
less than four if the vehicle configuration cannot
accommodate all the sensors.
1. For all setups, installer MUST
make certain that sensors are
centered both horizontally
and vertically.
2. Installation height for sensors
should be between 1 to 4 ft.
above ground.
3. Sensors A & D should be located
6 to 9 inches from outer edge of vehicle.
4. When installing sensors, make
certain that no part of vehicle (hitch,
etc.) is within 90° of the sensing range.
5. When installing sensors be certain
the sensor is level, not at a angle.
Place provided washers and
wedges if necessary.
6. Surface to install sensors must be
vertical and flat.

IMPORTANT:
The marked sensor cables (A,B,C,D) must be
connected to the corresponding marked inputs on
the control box. See page 7.
1. Control Box MUST be installed in
the cargo area or other protected area.
2. After choosing a suitable control box position in
the vehicle, drill the required holes to route the
sensor cables to vehicle interior.
3. Pull sensor cables through drilled
hole to vehicle interior.
4. Connect sensors cables to the control box.
5. Connect power and ground wires to
the reverse light circuit.

IMPORTANT: The marked sensor cables (A,B,C,D) must be connected to the matching marked
inputs on the control box.
1. Select an area easily visible to the
driver and mount display firmly.
Clean surface with alcohol and use
the included double sided tape to
mount. (Figure 1)
2. Connect RED wire from display
unit to ignition/switch power source.
3. Connect BLACK wire to vehicle ground.
4. Locate optional temperature sensor as desired.
5. Power up and test.
