INSTALLATION GUIDE
BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEMS
TM

The Spotto Blind Spot Radar should only be installed by a qualied or suitably
competent and experienced automotive technician.
The steps outlined herein are only a guide to assist in the installation of the
Spotto system. It is assumed that the technician has sufcient knowledge in the
dismantling / reassembly of the vehicle and the wiring and installation of
automotive electrical components.
It is the technician’s responsibility to ensure that the whole of the electrical
installation, and of the Spotto system, must be provided in accordance with this
guide and to the requirements set down by any applicable Australian Standards,
Codes of Practice and Australian Design Rules.
The Spotto Radar sensor must not protrude past the extremities of the vehicle or
cause the overall width of the vehicle to exceed 2.5m.
If you have any questions regarding the Spotto system, or the installation of the
system, please contact our support team for assistance. Do not proceed if you
are unsure.

System Overview
To reduce the risk of collisions with objects in the
truck’s blind spot, the Spotto Blind Spot Radar
monitors the area along the left side of the truck
and will warn the driver with both visual and
audible alerts to objects in the detection zone.
The system consists of the Radar sensor, mount-
ed to the passenger side of the truck, the Blind
Spot Indicator tted at the passenger-side A-pillar,
for visual alerts, plus a buzzer installed under the
dash which delivers the audible warnings.

1. Attach the Radar sensor to the mounting bracket using the supplied
4 x M6*16 bolts.
Ensure the Radar sensor orientation is correct - logo facing upwards.
2. Aim to t the sensor as close to the front of the truck as possible, on the top
step of the passenger side.
3. Position the mounting bracket against the face of the step.
4. Use the 2 holes on the mounting bracket as a template and drill 2 holes into
the front face of the step
5. Attach the sensor bracket to the step using the supplied 2 x ST8*30 screws
or a nut and bolt of your choice.
IMPORTANT
To ensure optimum detection performance, the radar sensor must be
installed within the following tolerences:
Sensor Height: 100cm (±10cm) from the ground to the sensor centre.
Horizontal Angle: The face of the sensor must be parallel with the truck
body (les than 1°)
Vertical Angle: The face of the sensor must be perpendicular to the
ground (90° ±1°)
