Voice warning ON/OFF
1. Digital distance
The digital display will indicate 0.3~2.5m if the object is within
the detection range.
If there are several objects in front or at rear of the car, the
digital number will indicate the shortest distance. The digital
number will be refreshed every 0.1m.
2. Level indication
The level of the indicator will be changed according to the
shortest distance of the object to the car.
3. Matrix indication
The matrix indicator will show the accurate position and distance
of the object in front or at rear of the car.
4. Red warning light
When the object distance is less than 0.3m, “STOP” will appear
and the red warning light will flash quickly to warn the driver
to stop the vehicle.
5. Pedestal
The sticky tape under the pedestal base is very strong and can
be stuck on the dashboard or windshield firmly.
6. Universal joint base
Its flexible structure allows the driver to adjust the display angle
in any direction for an easy reading.
When reverse gear is selected, press and hold the
“VOLUME” button at the back of the display to turn the
voice warning ON/OFF.
When reverse gear is selected, press “VOLUME” button
at the back of the display to adjust the volume of the
warning sound.
Notice: The above modes can be switched over. When the
distance of the object is less than 0.3m, the volume will turn
to high level automatically; when the object is out of range, the
system will return to its former status. The factory setting is
HIGH level and the voice warning is ON.
Volume adjustment
PTS800V3 is the world’s first PTS with AWS technology, the
system will actively warn any approaching vehicle towards the
parked car by turn signals flashing or siren chirping.
When a car is parked with engine stopped, the system will be
activated. When the system detects an approaching vehicle
and the distance is about 1.5m, the system will warn with turn
signals flashing. When the approaching vehicle is about 1m,
the horn of the parked car will chirp once and followed by turn
signals flashing quickly. If the vehicle is continuously approaching,
the horn will chirp once again and the turn signals will flash
again.

Self-testing function
Example 2 Two sensors are damaged, they’re sensor Aand E.
When a damaged sensor is detected, please check the
sensor's surface and connections before replacing it.
When ACC ON, the system will test the 4 front sensors
E, F, G and H automatically.
When the reverse gear is selected, the system will test
the 4 rear sensors A, B, C, D and 2 front sensors E, H
automatically.
If all the sensors are functioning, the system will beep
once.
If there is any problem with the sensors, the system will
beep three times to indicate that one or more sensors
are damaged. The damaged sensors' locations and the
total number will be shown on the display.

Insert the key and turn it to ON position, when driving forward or in static situation, every time when the footbrake
is pressed, the system will be activated and the 4 front sensors will start working.
If the object appears in the detecting range, corresponding information, such as the level and front matrix indicator
as well as digital distance will be shown on the display. The system will prolong the working time by 5 seconds once
the footbrake is released.

How does the system work
The object distance is
greater than 2.6 meters or
there’s no object in the
detecting range: "-- --" will
be shown on the display
and zone 1 of the matrix
indicator will flash.
Reversing backward
Insert the key and turn it to ON position, every time when the reverse gear is selected, the system will self-test 2 front side
sensors (E, H) and 4 rear sensors (A, B, C, D). Then, they will begin to scan and detect the corresponding areas.
If the object appears within the detecting range at the rear of the car, corresponding information will be shown on the display.
The object distance is:
1.29~1.20 meters The object distance is: 0.69~0.60 meters The object distance is<0.3 meters. “–P” and “STOP”
will be displayed and the
red warning light will be
on.

objects' locations.
How does the system work
The object is at the right front corner while
the car is reversing backwards The object at the right front corner is closer to the car than
the object at the left rear of the car.

1. The display does not power on after installation.
1) Is the power supply wire connected correctly?
2) Is the ignition turned to ACC ON?
3) Is the reverse gear selected or is the footbrake pressed
4) Are all wiring connections correct?
5) Is the display damaged?
2. False reading from the visual display without selecting
the reverse gear.
Check whether the power wire of ECU is connected to the
reversing light correctly.
3. The display indicates a defective sensor.
1) Check whether the sensor surface is clean.
2) Check whether the sensor wires are plugged in the ECU
properly.
3) Check whether the sensor wires are damaged or not.
4. The object position does not correspond to the correct
indicator on the blue digital display.
Are the sensor cables connected to the control unit (ECU)
in the correct order eg.A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H?
5. When reverse gear is selected, the blue digital indicator
indicates 0.5 m or 0.6m.
1) There are obstacles within 0.6 m.
2) Are sensors mounted too low or detecting the ground?
3) Check whether the sensor is installed up-side-down.
4) Unplug 1 sensor at a time to check for response.
6. Audible voice or warning sound is too low.
Adjust the volume to a certain level.
If the problem persists please follow these steps:
A. For consumers: contact your dealer or nearby service
centre
B. For installer or dealer:
1) Replace the ECU and recheck the system.
2) Test the sensors with certified ECU using a flat
wooden board.
3) Plug the certified sensors into the ECU and recheck.
4) Email your questions to us and we will reply ASAP.
