Installing the parking aid can cause problems on vehicles with LED tail lights. On vehicles with a spare tyre fitted to the outside of the vehicle, or a tow bar attached to the outside, please observe the setting parameters in chapter “Setting the system” on page 36. If you would like to install the sensors on metal bumpers, you will require suitable adapters (not included in the scope of delivery). Observe the applicable legal regulations. Secure the parts of the parking aid which are installed in the vehicle in such a way that they cannot become loose under any circumstances (sudden braking, accidents) and cause injuries to the occupants of the vehicle. Do not install the parts of the parking aid anywhere in the vehicle where an airbag may open. This could cause injury if the airbag deploys. The sensors may not cover signal lamps. When fitting the sensors, make sure there are no objects fixed to the front of the vehicle and no large objects mounted near the tailgate (such as a bicycle rack) which are in the detection range of the sensors.EN WPS900F/WPS910 Scope of delivery

The parking aid is intended as an additional aid, which means it does not relieve you of the obligation to take due care when manoeuvring. 2 Scope of delivery

4 Pre-installation instructions

4.1 Connection options

MagicWatch WPS900F and MagicWatch WPS910 can process either digital speed signals from the CAN bus (CAN bus connection on the loudspeaker) or an analogue speed signal (analogue connection on the front control elec- tronics) to activate the front parking aid. A CAN bus connection is not possi- ble in all vehicles with a CAN bus.

If the vehicle does not provide a speed signal which is compatible (neither by CAN bus nor analogue), the front parking aid must be activated and deacti- vated using the timer function or the switch (see chapter “Setting the system” on page 36). NOTE for vehicles with CAN bus The vehicle-specific product overview on the WAECO home- page will tell you whether a CAN bus connection is possible your vehicle. “http://www.dometic-waeco.de/wps900”, or call us and ask (for the contact information, please see the back of the instructions). If your vehicle features a CAN bus, but the vehicle list states that a CAN bus connection is not possible, MagicWatch WPS900F or WPS910 must be connected using a analogue connector. This will require analogue transmission of the speed signal.EN WPS900F/WPS910 Pre-installation instructions

Note the following during installation: The distance from the sensors to the ground should be at least 40 cm and a maximum of 50 cm (fig. 2). For the sensors to function optimally, the angle of the sensor to the road surface should be 90° (fig. 2). The angle may not be less than 90°, as the road will otherwise be interpreted by the sensor as an obstacle. The sensor holders included are suitable for all standard bumpers. Should the vehicle bumper be mounted at a steep angle, 20° sensor holders with a cover ring are available as an optional extra (see chapter “Accessories for WPS 900F/WPS 910” on page 29). The sensor holders included are not suitable for installation in metal bumpers. If your vehicle has metal bumpers, you will need special sensor holders with a silicon ring (see chapter “Accessories for WPS 900F/WPS 910” on page 29). Note that the sensor holder depends on the installation height and the angle of the bumper. Select the right sensor holder and the appropriate drill diameter by consulting the table in fig. 2. The instruction manual shows how to install the standard sensor holder (fitted from the inside of the bumper), which produces the best visual result. Alternatively, the sen- sors can also be fitted using the sensor holders with cover ring which are provided. Install the sensors in the correct position (fig. 5): NOTE The sensors must be correctly aligned for the device to work prop- erly. If they point to the ground, irregularities and bumps on the surface may be interpreted as obstacles. If they point too far up, obstacles will not be detected at all.

4.3 Painting the sensors

5 Fitting the parking aid

➤ Clean the adhesive surface on the inner side of the bumper with a primer. ➤ Apply a small amount of grease inside the sensor plug connections. Supplements fig. a Both the control electronics have been configured for front sensors by default. Define the control electronics for the rear sensors as follows: ➤ Disconnect the cable bridges. NOTE The sensors may be painted. The manufacturer recommends having the sensors painted by a specialist workshop. NOTICE! On vehicles which feature metal reinforcement behind the bump- ers, the sensors must not be touching this reinforcement. Other- wise there is no guarantee the parking aid will function correctly. NOTICE! Risk of malfunction! Align and attach the sensor holders correctly. Otherwise there is no guarantee the parking aid will function correctly. The sensor holders must be attached with the retaining tabs point- ing up and down.EN WPS900F/WPS910 Connecting the parking aid

6 Connecting the parking aid

NOTE On some vehicles, the reversing light only works when the ignition is switched on. In this case, you must switch on the ignition in order to identify the positive and earth wires. You can set a switch-off time for the front system if you are unable to provide a speedometer signal for the front sensor control electronics (neither a digital connection via the CAN bus nor an analogue connection from the speedometer) (see chapter “Programming the system” on page 37 and fig. i, parameter 1). You can connect the control electronics for the rear sensors directly to the continuous operating voltage or to the positive cable for the ignition (fig. d) if you are unable to provide a reversing signal for the rear sensor control electronics (e.g. +12 V contact voltage from the reversing light). This is only an option if you use the CAN bus connection to the control unit, and the vehicle CAN bus provides the reversing signal (see vehicle-specific product overview on the WAECO homepage “http://www.dometic-waeco.de/wps900”). A reversing signal is not provided via CAN bus on all vehicles which allow a CAN bus connection.EN Connecting the parking aid WPS900F/WPS910

7 Detection range See fig. e The detection range of the parking aid is divided into four zones (The figure applies accordingly for the front sensors): Zone 1 This zone is the first limit range. Small objects or those with poor reflective characteristics may not be detected here. Zone 2 Nearly all objects in this zone are displayed. Zone 3 Nearly all objects in this zone are displayed, however objects may only appear in the sensors’ blind spot, or not be detected at all due to their con- sistency or small size. Stop zone (4) If there are objects in this zone, the parking aid emits a continuous tone warning you to stop. Nearly all objects in this zone are displayed, however objects may only appear in the sensors’ blind spot or not be detected at all due to their consistency or small size. The distance at which the parking aid starts signalling you to stop can be set to different levels. The display of fixed objects, such as a trailer hitch, can be suppressed.EN Setting the system WPS900F/WPS910

8.2 Learning the system

The system communicates by radio contact. The control unit must be pro- grammed to ensure it recognises the codes from the other devices. See fig. g Start the programming procedure as follows: ➤ Connect the voltage supply for the front control electronics. ➤ Switch on the ignition. ➤ Engage the reverse gear. ➤ Press the left and right button on the control unit simultaneously for 5 seconds. ✓ The loudspeaker will emit two tones and the red and yellow LEDs will light up twice. ➤ Let go of the two buttons. ➤ Wait for a high-pitched tone and for the yellow LED to light up. ➤ WPS910 only: Wait for a low-pitched tone and for the red LED to light up. ➤ Wait for the loudspeaker to emit three tones and for the yellow and red LED to light up three times. ➤ Switch the ignition off.

8.3 Programming the system

You can programme diverse settings. See fig. h NOTE You must carry out the learning procedure within 4 minutes of activating the front sensors. Once these 4 minutes have elapsed, the front system will stop sending an ID code. NOTE Adapt the programming of the parameters to the type of installa- tion you have carried out.EN Setting the system WPS900F/WPS910

➤ Start programming as follows: – Switch on the ignition. – Engage reverse gear. – Press the left button on the control unit for 5 seconds. The loudspeaker emits a peep tone once, and both LEDs light up. ➤ Set the preferred value (fig. i; chapter “Programming functions” on page 39). The right button of the remote control is used to set the tens, and the left button is used to set the units for the preferred value. For example, if you wish to set the function “24”, press the right button twice and the left but- ton four times. ➤ Once you have set the desired value, wait until the loudspeaker beeps in accordance with the value you have set and the respective LED flashes accordingly. ➤ Switch the ignition off. Configuring the front sensors The front parking aid is always activated when you: Switch on the ignition Engage the reverse gear (WPS910 only) Briefly press the right button on the loudspeaker (< 5 seconds) Press the external button (< 5 seconds)EN WPS900F/WPS910 Setting the system

Programming functions You can also set the function for the front sensors by programming it once, using the following method, among others (see fig. i):

Parameter 1: Speed signal/time-out front sensors (function 13 – 16) Default setting: speed-dependent Function 13 (speed-dependent) is set by default. If there is no speed sig- nal available which is compatible, you have the alternative of using the time-out to deactivate the front parking aid. Once activated, the pro- grammed time period starts counting down. If there is an obstacle in the detection range when the time period is over, the front parking aid remains active. Only when no obstacle is detected for more than 5 s will the front parking aid shut down. Parameter 2: Duration of the front sensor signal Default setting: 1 sec. Parameter 3: Choose the speed signal source Default setting: Control unit Parameter 4: Detection range of the inner front sensors Default setting: 80 cm Parameter 5: Detection range of the inner rear sensors Default setting: 160 cm Parameter 6: Detection range of the outer front sensors Default setting: 55 cm Parameter 7: Detection range of the outer rear sensors Default setting: 55 cm Parameter 8: Stop zone for front sensors Default setting: Corner sensors = 25 cm, middle sensors = 35 cm Parameter 9: Stop zone for rear sensors Default setting: 35 cm Parameter 10: Volume of warning tones for front sensors Default setting: High Parameter 11: Volume of warning tones for rear sensors Default setting: High NOTE The default settings are printed in bold in the table fig. i.EN Setting the system WPS900F/WPS910

Parameter 12: Suppress display of fixed objects Default setting: Off Parameter 13: Shut-down delay for rear sensors Default setting: Off Parameter 14: Number of speed signal pulses Default setting: 3 Parameter 15: CAN bus status Default setting: On Parameter 16: City function (function 66) or speed-dependent activation and deactivation (function 67) Default setting: Speed-dependent activation and deactivation Speed-dependent activation and deactivation (function 67) The default setting automatically activates the front parking aid at speeds below 10 km/h and automatically deactivates at speeds above 10 km/h. Connecting a compatible speed signal is essential for this function to work. City function (function 66) This function deactivates the front parking aid the first time a speed of 10 km/h is exceeded and does not activate it again when the speed falls below 10 km/h. It is only activated: – the next time the reverse gear is engaged – when the right button on the loudspeaker is pressed – when the external button is pressed (< 5 s) The next time the ignition is started, the initial 10 km/h limit is activated again. Connecting a compatible speed signal is essential for this function. This function is useful when, for example, the parking aid is considered a nuisance while driving in city traffic when roads are full, or in traffic jams. Parameter 17: Reset to default settingsEN WPS900F/WPS910 Testing functions

9 Testing functions Complete the functional test of the rear sensors as follows: ➤ Switch on the ignition and engage the reverse gear. Be very careful when you use the device for the first time, and make sure that you familiarize yourself with the various sequences of beeps (see fig. e).

Test the front sensors the same way. To do so, drive slowly, for example, towards a wall. 10 Using the parking aid The rear sensors are automatically activated when you engage the reverse gear when the ignition is on or the engine is running. The front sensors are activated automatically: by starting the vehicle by engaging the reverse gear by lowering the vehicle speed to less than 10 km/h by pressing the right button on the control unit by pressing the external switch When the front sensors are activated, the LED on the external button and the yellow LED on the control unit both light up. If the speedometer signal cannot be detected, the front sensors are activated when the ignition is switched on. Once the adjustable switch-off time has elapsed, they are deactivated automatically. As soon as there is an obstacle within the detection range, a steady signal tone is emitted repeatedly. As you approach, the tone sequence will change according to the zone in which the obstacle is, thereby indicating the distance (fig. e applies to the front sensors). Be very careful the first time you use the system, until you are familiar with the various sequences of beeps. NOTICE! In zone 4, some obstacles may not be detected, because they are no longer within range of the sensors (construction-related char- acteristic).EN Using the parking aid WPS900F/WPS910

The front sensors are deactivated when the speed of the vehicle is more than 10 km/h you press the external button or the right button on the control unit briefly Press one of the two button for at least 5 s to deactivate the front sensors until the next time the vehicle is started.

NOTICE! Stop the vehicle immediately and investigate the situation (getting out if necessary), if the following happens while you are manoeuvring: the device first indicates an obstacle and the tone sequence speeds up normally (e.g. from slow to medium) when manoeu- vring. The signal tone suddenly slows down, or no obstacle is indicated at all. This means that the original obstacle is in the blind spot of the sensors (construction-related characteristic), and there is still a potential for collision. NOTICE! Be especially careful when manoeuvring after the system has been disconnected from the front or rear sensors. The system will indicate this fault by: the speaker will emit a double alarm tone. the red LED in the control unit and the LED on the external button flash continuously. NOTE When the stop zone is reached, the volume of the continuous tone will fall by about 50 % after a short time.EN WPS900F/WPS910 Troubleshooting

11 Troubleshooting The device shows no function. The cables to the reversing light are not connected or are not properly connected. The plugs for the sensors are not connected or are not correctly plugged into the control electronics. ➤ Check the plugs and make sure they lock into place. The speaker emits a double alarm tone, and the red LED in the control unit and the LED on the external button flash continuously The system has been disconnected from the front or rear sensors. This can occur due to interference in the frequency range. Reprogramme the control modules (see chapter “Learning the system” on page 37). Audible error signal is emitted for three seconds after engaging the reverse gear, following by a sequence of tones. One or more sensors are defective or no longer connected to the control electronics. The LEDs in the control unit and the LED on the external button are flashing rapidly. The sequence of tones following the continuous tone indicate which sensor is defective: high tones for the front sensors (e.g. two high tones for front sensor no. 2) low tones for the rear sensors (e.g. three deep tones for front sensor no. 3) The sensor with the shortest cable is sensor no. 1, the one with the longest cable is sensor no. 4. ➤ Check the plugs and make sure they lock into place. ➤ Replace the defective sensor(s).

NOTICE! The system does not work if one or more sensors are defective.EN Troubleshooting WPS900F/WPS910

The front sensors shut down too early The front sensors shut down before the speed reaches 10 km/h. The LEDs in the control unit and on the external button switch off. ➤ Set parameter 14 (“number of speed signal pulses”) to function “59”, “61”, “62” or “63” (see chapter “Programming the system” on page 37). Device indicates obstacles incorrectly False alarms may have the following causes: Dirt or frost on the sensors ➤ Clean the sensors. Rain ➤ Check whether the front sensors are deactivated at a speed exceeding 10 km/h. ➤ Check whether a compatible speed signal is available. If there is no speed signal available, set parameter 1 (“Speed sig- nal/Time-out front sensors”) to function “14”, “15” or “16” (see chapter “Programming the system” on page 37). The sensors were incorrectly installed. ➤ Adjust the position or height of the sensors (fig. 2). ➤ Make sure that the appropriate sensor bracket was used (0°/12°/20°/bracket for metal bumpers). The sensors are in contact with the chassis. ➤ Separate the sensors from the chassis. No acoustic signal. ➤ Check whether the yellow LED in the control unit and the LED on the external button light up. When the LEDs are flashing, the system is in emergency mode. Start the vehicle again.EN WPS900F/WPS910 Guarantee
