INSTALLATION GUIDE
Installation Guide
Step 1. Sensor Installation
Installation requirements: Sensors should be mounted on the widest part of the
vehicle and as far forward as possible, Using screws to x the sensor on the front
of the vehicle.
Step 2. Installation of the left/right turn trigger.
Using the voltage Multi-meter, locate the left
and right turn signal trigger wires behind the
front turn signals. Once veried, connect the
left and right signal wires of the RVS-130 wire
harness to the correct signal wires.

Step 3. LED Indicator Installation
Place the LED indicators where it is visible for the driver. Ideally on the A-pillar.
Step 4. Buzzer Location
Ensure speaker is installed in accessible area to allow driver
access to volume controls.

ALERT CONDITIONS
Illumination of the LED indicator on the control box:
1.The LED comes on solid when the system is rst powered up;
2.The LED blinks slowly while the GPS module is connected to the satellite;
3.The LED blinks quickly while sensing moving objects approaching in the blind spot
(same frequency as to the alarm LED indicators & the buzzer);
4.The LED maintains the last blinking status after the alerts have ended
(the last blinking status of alarming is o / on randomly)
Step 6. Main Unit Location
While installing the main box, use tape to securely fasten it in place.
When the vehicle is on, the system
should detect objects that are over-
taking your vehicle in the lane next
to your vehicle up to 50 ft. to the rear.
NOTE!

A. Blind detection on right side:
1. R-LED indicator will be activated when there is an object approaching to the
right side blind area of your vehicle (see Fig.16).
2. If the right turn signal of your vehicle is triggered at the same time, the R-LED
indicator will be blinking and the buzzer will be beeping as well (with the same
frequency).
B. Blind detection on left side:
1. L-LED indicator will be activated when there is an object approaching to the
left side blind area of your vehicle (see Fig.16).
2. If the left turn signal of your vehicle is triggered at the same time, the L-LED
indicator will be blinking and the buzzer will be beeping as well (with the same
frequency).
C.The LED and buzzer will standby (no activity) if there is no object approaching
to the blind area of your vehicle.
D. During reversing, the R & L LED will be blinking according to the approaching
object detection of each side.

Summary
This bulletin addresses three solutions to the issue of false alarms
with the RVS-128, RVS-129, RVS-130:
• Sensor's orientation.
• Large surface anomalies in the sensor eld of view.
• Use of steel screws in conjunction with the environment, resulting in reections to the sensors.
Issue
Occasionally, when the system is installed and tested, there are constant false alarms as the vehicle
is moving even where there are no other vehicles in the area.
Solutions
Here are three additional possible causes and their solutions.
Wrong orientation
Change orientation 180°. The sensor should be oriented with the at bottom attached to the
vertical side of the vehicle, perpendicular to the ground.The large end of the sensor should be
directed toward the back of the vehicle.
CUSTOMER SERVICE BULLETIN
Customer Service Bulletin
Why incorrect orientationisa problem:Themicrowave signalisemittedout of thelargerend ofthe
sensor. The sensor will sense objects coming toward it. So, if it is pointing in the wrong direction,
it may sense things that are stationary, such as trees, as moving toward it. This is especially seen
whenthesensor ispointingtowardthe front of thevehicle(allstationaryobjectswouldbemoving
toward the sensor and cause false alarms).
