If you have two sensors, install each sensor halfway between the side and the center
of the vehicle. In case of three sensors, install one at the center of the vehicle and
each two sensors halfway between the side and center sensor.
☞ For optimal performance, sensors need to be facing straight forward, not at an
angle.Makesurethateachsensorisparalleltotheroad.Whenyouinstallthe
sensor, vehicle must be located on a flat surface in order to position sensors
parallel with the road. Make sure that sensors have an unobstructed “view” of
the road. Do not install sensors behind a solid surface, which would block laser
transmission and reception.
