Sensor/Antenna
Location
The PreView tm sensor mounting location is key to proper system
operation. Ideally the sensor
should be mounted on the rear center of the vehicle at roughly
36” (1M) +/- 12” (0.3M) above
the ground. The sensor face should be perpendicular to the
ground. Select a location that will
provide some protection from impact and debris while allowing an
unobstructed view of the
target hazard area.
Important!
Before the PreView tm system is permanently installed to the
vehicle, verify that the selected
sensor mounting location provides a clear detection zone.
Temporarily attach the sensor in
the proposed mounting location, apply power to the system, and
verifying that nothing is being
detected.
Sensor/Antenna Mounting
1. Select the appropriate sensor mounting location.
2. The sensor must be mounted with the cable exit either on the
bottom (preferred) or top.
3. Using the sensors’ mounting holes as a template, scribe
position marks through the holes.
Drill 1/4” (6mm) holes centered at the marks.
4. Secure the sensor to the vehicle with the three supplied
10-24 UNC button head screws,
washers and nuts or equivalent. Apply a maximum torque of 22
inch pounds when securing
the sensor.
Sensor Power Connection
Locate the vehicles reverse light power wire and connect to the
red wire on the sensor harness
using 18AWG wire. Connect the black wire of the sensor harness
to vehicle ground.
Display
Unit Installation
The display unit should be mounted where the vehicle operator
can easily view it while
backing. The ideal location for this is on the dash positioned
by either windshield pillar. This
will allow the operator view of the display while also looking
out one of the side mirrors.
The display unit harness should be taken into consideration when
selecting a mounting
location for the display. Since the connection between the
display and sensor harness is not
watertight, it should be routed in such a manner so it is not
exposed to the outside
environment.
The PreView tm display unit comes equipped with a mounting
bracket and hardware. If
desired, the display unit can be mounted to the display bracket
with the supplied hardware.
This bracket can then be mounted in the vehicle cab as desired.
