mounted spare tyre (4WD’s) nor tow bar position.
Once the sensors are mounted, the cables will need to
enter the boot through a common opening. If an
opening is not available, a hole must be drilled in a
hidden location. Any bare metal must be sealed with a
rust inhibiting compound. A grommet must be used to
avoid chafing through the cable insulation. Then use
water resistant sealant to prevent water and fumes
from travelling though any vacant space in the
grommet. All cables running across the vehicle must
be securely fastened with cable ties.

Painting considerations
When matching sensor head and bumper colour avoid
applying excessive paint. Combined layers of primas,
under coats and top coats that are too thick on/across
the active parts of the heads will “muffle” the output
and reduce (if not completely defeat) the
effectiveness of the sensor.
Recommended paint procedure:
Remove the shine of the sensor heads by rubbing
with very fine wet/dry
sanding paper. Enure all
moisture is removed
before continuing.
An excellent way to
mask the cables and
back of the sensors is to
drill holes in the box in
which the SEN-003 was
supplied. Insert the
cables through the holes
and push the heads in
snug.
Use a Prepwash™ equivalent to remove all oil and
dust which may have built up during handling.
Apply a plastic adhesion promoter to bond the
next paint layer with the plastic body.
Metal flake paints will require a ground coat of
paint to cover the black plastic.
Apply the final colour to the heads.
To locate the correct colour paint (and ground coat if
necessary) contact your local paint supplier, many are
able to make up a pressure pack with the correct
colour simply by supplying them with the paint code
detailed usually under the bonnet.
Always read the application and safety directions on
the paint cans at each stage. The manufacturers know
how to achieve the best results with their products.

SENSOR HEAD POSITIONING &
CONSIDERATIONS
When choosing the optimum location for the sensor
heads consideration must be placed on the curvature,
and overhang of the bumper. The performance
of the sensors will be bias towards the direction they
are pointing i.e. if the bumper slopes towards the
ground the performance of the sensors will be bias
towards the ground. ow bar , 4WD protection bars /
steps, number plate surrounds, 4WD spare wheels
and sectional mouldings may impede the ability of the
sensor to function a
obstacles.
When selecting a suitable position for the sensor
heads consideration should be given to ensure the
sensor head sits flush in the bumper i.e. the bumper
shape may curve / angle to such a degree that the lip of
the sensor head overhangs and will

The optimum height from the ground for sensor heads
position is 0mm, this is not
always suitable for all vehicles due to bumper shape,
curvature, lamp locations, bumper overhang or
internal protection framework behind the bumper.
The parameters of sensor head height should be
lower than 400mm and no higher than 00mm.
Performance may be affected towards the lower and

Sensor heads positioned may
be susceptible to reporting alerts caused by dipping
