How To Install Rear View RVS-115-W

The sensors for the RVS-115-W BACKUP SENSOR SYSTEM must be mounted at the back of your car and connected to a control unit for installation. The following is a general installation guide for the backup sensor system:
Supplies You’ll Need:
  1. RVS-115-W BACKUP SENSOR SYSTEM kit (sensors, wiring, control unit and alarm module included) screwdriver
  2. Tools for crimping and wire stripping
  3. Heat shrink tube or electrical tape  drill bit selection and drill mounting brackets, if any are missing
Steps for Installation:
  1. Select the Sensor Locations:
    Choose the optimal spots to install the sensors on the back bumper of your car. They should ideally be equidistant from one another and at a height that allows them to detect obstructions without being readily damaged.
  2. Mark the locations of the sensors:
    Using a pencil or marker, indicate on the bumper the selected sensor locations.
  3. Get the wiring ready:
    Determine an appropriate route for the wiring that connects the sensors and control unit. Removing interior trim or panels may be necessary in order to gain access to the vehicle’s wiring.
  4. Install Sensors:
    To make room for the sensor brackets or sensors themselves, drill holes at the designated sensor locations on the bumper. Make sure you adhere to the hole sizes and spacing specified by the manufacturer. Use the included brackets or an appropriate mounting technique to firmly anchor the sensors in place. Make sure they are flat with the bumper surface and correctly aligned.
  5. Sensors and Control Unit Connection:
    The sensor cables should be routed through the car to the control unit. To keep the wiring secure along the way, use wire clips or clips with an adhesive backing. Attach the sensor wires to the control unit’s matching input terminals. Usually, each sensor has wires that are color-coded.
  6. Mounting Control Device:
    Select a good spot within the car for the control unit to be mounted. Usually, this is in the back cargo space or trunk. To fasten it in place, use mounting brackets or screws.
  7. Link Control Unit to Vehicle Power Supply:
    Connect the power line of the control unit to a 12-volt power source inside the car, such as the fuse box or the reverse lights.
    Attach the control unit’s ground wire to a sturdy ground point on the car’s chassis.
  8. Link the Alert Module:
    Use the supplied connections to connect any alert modules that come with your package to the control unit.
  9. Evaluate the system:
    To test the backup sensor system, turn on the car and put it in reverse before securing all wires and parts. Check to make sure the sensors identify impediments and sound the alerts as they should.
  10. Secure Components and Wiring:
    After you’re certain that everything is operating as it should, replace any removed interior panels or trim and fasten all wiring with clips or adhesive.
  11. Adjust the System (if required):
    If you need to calibrate the system, do so according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Model-specific differences may exist in the calibration parameters.
  12. Last Verification:
    To make sure the system functions as intended, perform one last test by shifting the car backward.
  13. Savour the Benefits of Your Backup Sensor System:
    Now that it is fitted, your RVS-115-W BACKUP SENSOR SYSTEM is prepared to increase safety when reversing your car.
Please be aware that the installation procedure may differ based on the backup sensor system’s particular type and brand. For precise installation and calibration instructions, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions that came with your kit. To guarantee correct setup and performance, think about hiring professional installation services if you have any doubts about any part of the installation.
