DPS450F - 4 Front Parking Sensors, Audio & Dash Display
DPS450F
The Dolphin front fitting parking sensor kit is a 4 recess mounting sensor high quality system that will cover the widest of cars giving a professional finish. This front parking sensor kit comes with longer 6m cables on the sensors enabling you to wire around the engine bay and under the dashboard where the brain box can be installed securely in a whether-proof environment. Included with the 4 recess sensors is a digital display to give you countdown in centremeters as you get closes to an obstacle and a graphical bar indication of whether the left or right sensors are closest. Inbuilt to the display module is an audio buzzer which gives audible bleeps with increasing frequency as you get closer to an obstacle. The display unit has an adhesive underside to mount on the dashboard or somewhere else suitable.

How it works
The system works by radiating ultrasonic beams covering the area in front of the vehicle. The beams are reflected by obstructions ahead, and re-enter the sensors. The reflected beam information is processed to calculate the distance of the obstruction.
With the Dolphin Display Front Parking Sensors you need to power them via a small rocker switch on the dashboard which is included with the kit (or see CANBUS option below). Then you manually turn the sensors on, as and when you need to use them. Alternatively you could have them permanently powered on since there is an audio on/off switch on top of the display. When the vehicle is less than 1.5 metres from the obstruction the audible alert will emit intermittent bleeps. As the vehicle gets closer to the obstruction the frequency of the bleeps increases. At 30 centimetres from the obstruction the bleeps become a continuous solid tone.
CANBUS Interface
| Optionally if you have a modern CANBUS wired car you may use a CANBUS interface that will take a speed reading for the cars engine management system and automatically bring the sensors on whenever your speed is below approximately 6mph. This would give you a very professional finish, cost of the CANBUS interface is £49.99 and comes with instructions. Please check for your Vehicle Compatibility. | |
| Stage | Distance | Awareness | Alarm |
| 1 | 200 - 160cm | Safe Mode | No |
| 2 | 150 - 100cm | Safe Mode | Bi----Bi----Bi |
| 3 | 90 - 50cm | Alarm Mode | Bi--Bi--Bi |
| 4 | 40 - 30cm | Danger Mode | Bi-Bi-B |
| 5 | 30 - 0cm | Stop | Bi---------- |
This is an example of the display in action. If you had a post just on one side of the car the illuminated bars would vary and the shortest distance reading would be displayed. |  |
 | Swap Socket Feature All of our kits now come with the new watertight swap socket feature based 6 inches from the sensor heads, it makes installation quicker and easier. Also should you ever have a problems with faulty sensors or accident damage in the future it facilitates easy replacement without having to remove the bumper again and rewire from scratch. |
Optional Wedges
This system comes with optional angled wedges, giving greater flexibility according to the shape of your bumper.
Maintenance
No routine maintenance or adjustment is required. Dirt, frost or snow on the sensors may cause the system to activate incorrectly. The sensors can be washed carefully with warm soapy water
