SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The RVS-116-W Vehicle Reversing Aid is an automatic back up alert system
that warns drivers of potential obstacles while backing up their vehicle. Using
ultrasonic echo location sonar technology the system is activated when the
driver engages reverse gear. A 4 zone variable audio pulse alerts the driver of
potential obstacles.The audio pulse intensity increases and the audio frequen-
cy changes as the vehicle backs closer to the obstacle. As with all sensing sys-
tems there are blind areas in the sensing patterns due to the cone or triangular
nature in the way the sonar pulse is emitted.Whenever an object moves from a
covered area and into one of these blind areas a special warning alert message
and a very loud tone will be transmitted twice or until the operator takes the
vehicle out of reverse. This is especially helpful for detecting moving objects
such as a pedestrian, an animal, a forklift or other moving vehicles that may be
behind your vehicle and in harms way.

SETUP
Sensors
Drill four holes at equal distance in the rear bumper and
mount the sensors using the included grommets. Run each ca-
ble to the sensor box and plug each into its corresponding port.
Drill two holes above the right and left corners of vehicle rear and
mount the sensors using the included grommets. Run each cable to
the sensor box and plug each into its corresponding port.
Power
Connect Y-adapter to the waterproof control module. Connect the RED
wire to a 12V constant power and the GREEN wire to a 12V reverse
power. Connect the BLACK wire to a chassis ground.
Sensor Cable
The sensor cable attaches to the waterproof control module on one end
and the 6 sensors on the other.
The Power Harness
Three Channel Power Harness allows connection of the sensor system
and up to three cameras to any one of our wired monitors and comes
with power connections and trigger wires.

INSTALLATION
1) The width of vehicles vary. It is important to install the Sensors at the ap-
propriate distance and location along the rear bumper or equivalent assum-
ing that the width of vehicle is L, then the space between Sensors is 1/4L
(Sensors must be mounted S1, S2, S3, S4, from left to right).
• Sensors S1 and S4 should be located approximately 1/8L from either side
of the vehicle. S2 and S3 will be located 1/4L from S1 and S4.
If the Sensors are mounted on a DOT type bumper, the Sensor locations are
determined by the vehicle width (L), not the width of the bumper. 2) Sen-
sors should be mounted at an absolute minimum of 16 inches (40cm) to 32
inches (80cm) from the ground (20 inches (50cm) is a good choice, if avail-
able). Sensors S5 and S6 should be located at the top right and left corners of
the back of the vehicle, at vehicle’s width.

INSTALLATION
Sensor Installation (In-Bumper Flush Mount)
For vehicles equipped with a bumper that can accommodate the Sensors,
carefully drill a 25mm hole and insert the Rubber Jacket, properly orientated
“UP”, in the hole rst. Then insert the Sensor, again properly orientated“UP”
Depending on the thickness and construction of the bumper, the hole diam-
eter may need to be varied. The Rubber Jacket is designed to seat properly
into a 25mm hole with a 1/8 inch (3.2mm) thick metal bumper. If this is not
the case, the anges on the Rubber Jacket must be taken into consideration.
It is suggested that a test hole be utilized to conrm a proper t.
1) Depending on the vehicle type, select an appropriate location to mount the
water-tight control module on the rear undercarriage of the truck chassis.

DETECTION
The system is designed to be installed with 6 (six) Sensors aligned
across the rear of the vehicle (preferably at a height ranging from 16”to
32”from the ground), and two on the top corners of a vehicle’s back.
When the top sensors are installed in a dierent layout
(for example, in front, to detect a building overhangs), please consider
the following:
• Each Sensor detects objects in a circular area approximately 20”in
diameter.
• It is recommended that the face of all Sensors should be on the same
plane to ensure the accuracy of the system.
