The Supply of car electronic assistants has long been a mandatory item in their optional software. Most modern cars receive a wide set of such helpers at the stage of pre. However, the cost of such upgrade is not cheap, so budget-conscious motorists decide on such improvements in a separate order. Not every system is available for self-Assembly, but the tape Parktronic well-suited for installation in a garage. With proper installation of the driver can rely on effective assistance device during the Parking process, sold for a little money.

Features belt sensors

The Main part of such devices on the market are the traditional Parking assistance, which include touch sensors. Models that use as working elements of the tape appeared recent. Not to say that it is more technologically advanced and effective device, but due to the affordability and ease of installation it is loved by many motorists. In the process of operation of the electromagnetic sensors of the tape, generates the area to track the approaching car and various objects. The main difference of this system is to use tape instead of the conventional sensors. Actually, this is a simplified installation that does not require execution of mechanical installation of functional elements in a niche of the body or bumper. Enough to stick a tape, which forms a touch-sensitive field of security.

System components

With all the variety band radar the equipment is fairly standardized. It is noteworthy that only in rare cases, producers strive to expand the basic sets. This is largely due to the simple principle of basic functional elements that are inexpensive. So, in the basic system kit includes a block with hardware, directly metallized tape, speakers, or other indicators signaling the driver. This set is enough for induction sensors tape did its job on any car. Another thing is that, depending on specific needs, should be a different approach to the selection of individual elements.

Share this kind of model mainly by way of indication, since the principle of operation in a belt of radars are the same – electromagnetic-based induction. As indicators can be used light, sound and combined devices. At the time of activation from the touch strip is sent a signal to base unit, which occurs alert the driver. The most common belt Park sensors-Lines with a beeper that sends sound signals. That is, upon approaching the machine to an external object, the radar starts to publish the characteristic sounds. Usually the intensity of the sound increases as you increase the danger of a collision. Often there are also models with a visual indication. In this case, display scale, which lights up the individual items in accordance with the approach of the car to other cars or the curb. Radar with combined display and alert the driver through the noise of the alarm and with the help of the display.

Principle of operation

The device is mainly designed for fixation of the danger caused by the approaching of the vehicle to other objects. This task is implemented according to the principle laid down in metal detectors. In the simplest devices of this type are used in detectors that respond to frequency fluctuations in the observed area. That is, the analysis of impacts from external objects. Unlike the detector, which detects only objects of specific materials, sensors, electromagnetic band responds to almost everything from the soil and the border to the human body. Thus, when the action is third-party object, in the case involving the indicators, sending a signal to the driver. Against the background of changes in the oscillation frequency of a sound or visual effect also changes its character – is enhanced or weakened. I must say that the main function of the device may complement the surveillance camera. But this option often costs significantly more expensive than the basic set, so shooting is rarely used. Typically, such a combination are the owners of more expensive traditional PDC.

Where is better to mount the radar?

A bit of Options, but the choice is. Mandatory must be provided in the rear of the car as the most problematic from the point of view of visibility. Also complete provide and install tape on the front bumper. Less common fasteners on the sides, but this is an option. In any case, the danger zone is determined based on the personal experience of the machine. As the tape reversing sensors are equipped with indicators in the form of the same beeper and displays, it is necessary to find a place for components of this type. Again, positioning indicators should, so that their action had achieved the main purpose in the notification of the driver, regardless of road conditions. At the same time, the device must not cause inconvenience and interference. So, the beeper is usually installed on the dashboard or rear shelf of the car. The display should be placed in the area of the dashboard.

Setting the tape sensors

No drilling necessary to the bumper or body, of course, facilitates mounting of the operation, but does not eliminate other treatments. Usually before you install the tape removed the bumper. To do this, carefully remove the special caps with retainers. It is important to note that the tape should be held exactly in the centre of the bumper, as in other places will be provided for incorrect operation of the device. When an item is removed, it should be thoroughly washed, and then start gluing. There are examples of sensors with the tape sensor were installed without removing the bumper. From such an operation seems more simple, but in practice it can only a skilled wizard, especially if you do work without a special lift. When the tape is recorded, you can begin to electrical events. Through the trunk are posted with the connection of the tape to the main microprocessor and related indicators.

How much?

Efficiency and reliability is not the best option cupholder, but the low price attracts to a tape device, a considerable part of motorists. The simplest models from the Chinese manufacturer cost 1-1,5 thousand rubles. the Amount is small and the quality is appropriate. Typically, this model is assembled by hand from parts of questionable origin.

What's more, it is important to consider in such devices is the inability to customize sensitivity. This means that the tape may not be suitable, for example, for a vehicle with low ground clearance. For 3-4 thousand rubles. in the market you can buy Parktronic tape Italian companies. In this case, you can count on a clean and neat spike circuitry, the use of high quality chips and useful set with mounting hardware. Regarding the sensitivity adjustment, usually models of this category are set up in several modes, allowing to optimize the sensors for a specific machine.

Positive feedback on tape Parktronic

As the use of any other sensors, this system causes a lot of flattering feedback from car owners. This type of device is praised for providing the possibility of making light maneuvers without much ADO. This is especially important for beginners who need full control of the car during the Parking process. In addition, there is an easy installation that stands out ribbon sensors. Reviews emphasize that with proper treatment the bumper from the host machine only need to stick a strip to the desired location and connect it to the indicators. For comparison: traditional radars need to be installed through drilling for each sensor accordingly without professional help can handle not every owner.

Negative feedback

Low cost could not be reflected on the individual nuances of operation that cannot be attributed to the pluses band radar. One of the main disadvantages that are noted by the owners, is the inability to define the objects without changing the distance to them. That is the approach to another vehicle system controls, but if the machine initially is close to the object, it falls out of focus.

There are other unpleasant aspects of exploitation, which suffers from electromagnetic sensors belt. Reviews, for example, noted a high frequency of false positives. This especially applies to inexpensive Chinese models that do not provide the ability to automatically turn off certain zones. For example, when it is snowingor rain, you can count on the same efficiency of work indicators, as in the case of convergence with another car.

Alternative solutions

The Selection is small, but in the first place as the alternative option to put the classic ultrasonic sensors. It is those devices that require tapping into the bumper, which complicates the installation. But if we ignore the inconvenience in the installation, the vehicle enthusiast can count on the adaptability and functionality of such radars. If sensors ribbon-type benefits from the affordable prices and the convenience in mounting, the ultrasonic models are accuracy, a wide range of settings and reliability. Besides for those who are afraid of the complexity of installation through the tie-in of the sensors is to recommend systems with applied sensors.

Conclusion

Fashion for equipping vehicles with electronic assistants has not only positive sides. Multiple assistants consume excess energy, require maintenance and does not always justify the investment. However, tape Parktronic can be called an exception. Their work provides a minimum level of energy supply, but also the Parking radar eliminates risks in the process of making a complicated manipulation on the road. We can say that such qualities have any system for facilitating Parking. But the advantages of belt models also applies a small price, and convenience during installation.
