How to Install Ultrasonic Sensors?
2 Answers
Ground clearance: 50~70cm; Horizontal spacing: The distance between point A and point B, point C and point D should be 30cm. Ensure the arrow direction is facing upwards, then install the ultrasonic sensor. Apply even pressure around the edges of the ultrasonic sensor to press it in, ensuring it fits tightly into the mounting hole. Connect the waterproof and dustproof plug, and tighten it firmly. Determine the wiring length and cut it according to the actual requirements of the vehicle model.
Installing ultrasonic sensors is quite straightforward, I think. First, locate the position - the rear bumper usually has pre-drilled holes or you can drill your own, ensuring even spacing for accurate detection. Measure the spacing carefully, mark it with tape, and drill slowly with a small bit to avoid damaging the paint. Secure the sensors firmly in place to prevent wobbling that could affect readings. Next, wiring: each sensor has a power wire and a ground wire, connect them to the control box, typically matching colors (red for positive, black for negative). After installation, test by engaging reverse gear to check if the obstacle distance alerts are responsive. If issues arise, inspect the contacts or recalibrate - some systems may require manual zeroing. Beginners are advised to have a helper and wear protective gear when drilling to shield the eyes. Don’t rush the process; it should take about half an hour to complete. Once installed, parking becomes more convenient and safer, but remember to check regularly to prevent moisture corrosion at the connectors.
