Rear View Safety
The RVS-112-W Vehicle Reversing Aid is an automatic back up alert system
that warns drivers of potential obstacles while backing up their vehicle. Using
ultrasonic echo location sonar technology the system is activated when the
driver engages reverse gear. A 4 zone variable audio pulse alerts the driver of
potential obstacles. The audio pulse intensity increases and the audio frequency changes as the vehicle backs closer to the obstacle. As with all sensing systems there are blind areas in the sensing patterns due to the cone or triangular
nature in the way the sonar pulse is emitted. Whenever an object moves from a
covered area and into one of these blind areas a special warning alert message
and a very loud tone will be transmitted twice or until the operator takes the

vehicle out of reverse. This is especially helpful for detecting moving objects
such as a pedestrian, an animal, a forklift or other moving vehicles that may be
behind your vehicle and in harms way.

Sensors
Drill four holes at equal distance in the rear bumper and mount the
sensors using the included grommets. Run each cable to the sensor
box and plug each into its corresponding port.
Power
Connect Y-adapter to the waterproof control module. Connect the RED
wire to a 12V constant power and the GREEN wire to a 12V reverse
power. Connect the BLACK wire to a chassis ground.
Sensor Cable
The sensor cable attaches to the waterproof control module on one end
and the 4 sensors on the other.
The Multiplexer
The cable that runs through the vehicle now carries signals both from
the backup camera and the sensors. Plug this cable into port #3 in the
Multiplexer. In order to hear the sensor audio alerts, connect the blue
SETUP
trigger wire (coming o the multiplexer) to 12V reverse power.
