Most backup accidents occur because the driver cannot see much of the area behind the vehicle. This backup sensor system uses echo sonar technology and rear bumper mounted sensors that detect obstacles directly behind the vehicle. The distance of the obstacle(s) is displayed through the LED display unit installed in front of the driver. The bumper mounted sensors can detect objects through fog, water, and smoke.

The system incorporates a beam signal that bounces off objects within range of the sensors. The sensors detect non-moving and moving objects and work in either daylight or night conditions, as well as rain.

Once an object is detected, the signal is sent to the central processor unit, which calculates the distance of the object. The distance is then displayed on the reverse activated distancing sensor LED display unit.

The display unit should be mounted near the driver. The display unit includes an audio alarm to alert the driver that the sensors are detecting an object(s) behind the vehicle. It also has an ON/OFF switch to mute the alarm if the driver chooses not to listen to the alarm tone.

The audio alarm tone triggers once an object is detected. As the vehicle gets closer to the object, the "beeps" increase in intensity.

Bumper Sensors Are Paintable

The bumper sensors can be painted to color match your vehicle's bumper. To get maximum accuracy of distance readings it is recommended to PAINT ONLY THE SENSOR CAP (see photos below). Painting over the factory paint of the the sensor head may result in false distance readings.

The backup sensor device is designed as a driver assistance device. The device should not be relied upon solely as a substitute for safe driving practices. At all times exercise caution and safe driving practices when reversing any vehicle. At all times look visually to ensure your path is clear. The manufacturer and distributors of this backup assistance device do not guarantee or assume liability for "collisions or damages" that take place when backing up your vehicle.
