D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) INSTALLATIONS
Some customers when purchasing a Blinder Parking Sensor/Jammer through Radars Direct, decide to install the devices themselves, we don’t recommend installing the devices yourself, although if you believe you have some auto-electrician experience, and can install them yourself, we can guide you through the process.

All Blinder products have a manual included which includes details on how to install the transponders and switch components. Although there are some important points to follow that if you don’t, cant greatly affect the performance of BLINDER products, as well as any other jammer on the market.

IMPORTANT!

Do not turn off the power for at least 1 minute during the first start-up process. When the system is turned on for the first time, the CPU will install the transponder’s with the latest firmware, do not turn the power off while this is in progress, wait for a final 2 beeps at the very end which will confirm it is all finished. Best wait for 1 to 2 minutes, better safe than sorry.

FIRST START-UP OF THE SYSTEM
As a top performing product the Blinder 7-Series will at first start-up, automatically initialise all connected transponders and in cases where the CPU contains a different or newer software revision, automatically update all connected transponders, in this case the Australia Version is a new revision, although the transponders have been uploaded and tested with the new software already.

The following steps will occur during an automatic software update

• Once installation of the system is complete, activate the mode switch to position II for at least 1 minute.
• The Buzzer & LED will indicate the updating process by beeping/flashing with fast intervals.
• Between updating of each single transponder there will be a short break in beeping/flashing.
• This process will be repeated until all transponders are fully updates, which means two times for the M27 and four times for the M47. Once all transponders are successfully updated, the system will flash RED and beep two times.
• To start -up the system correctly after updating, witch to position OFF and then back to the mode you wish to use. This system is now ready to perform its function.

Interrupted during the automatic software update
If the system is interrupted during the updating process, you may end up with a non working system. In this case, its possible to download Blinder’s repair software to reset the system. For further information visit www.blinder.dk

NOTE: Refer to your Blinder Manual for details on how to install the jammers, we have written up a few very important points that should be followed which are not included in the Blinder Manual

INSTALLATION GUIDE

• Mounting of the Transponders (Professional Installation Recommended)

This is the most important procedure; there should be no obstruction of view for the transponders since the transmitting and receiving the infrared red laser beam will not pass through any objects (plastic included).

DO NOT mount the transponders deep into the bumper to hide them; they should sit level with the bumper so they can see from there onwards. Mounting deep into the bumper to hide them will affect their ability to jam incoming laser, as the infrared light emitted by the transponders will either be absorbed or blocked by the plastic grill.

DO NOT mount the transponders behind any plastic/metal grill of any sort for stealth installation, radar enthusiasts from the US will cut into their cars grill to hide the transponders but not affect their performance. This is only recommended if you do not have anywhere to mount them and you will be keeping your car for quite some time. It is worth it if it saves you big $$ in fines.

To sum it up – No unobstructed view of the road, pointing straight ahead, mounted horizontal and parallel to the road surface and driving direction, and never mount deep into the grill or behind your bumper or sitting on an off angel (not flat) and DO NOT mount behind plastic grills.

• BEST LOCATION
  Before installation determine carefully the best location for the transponders. Most cars have areas in the front bumper where the jammers will fit nicely. On both the M27 and the M47 mount one transponder on each side of the front of your car with a distance between the two transponders of 50 to 60 cm (can be a little bit closer, no further than 60cm though) Mount the two transponders revolving around the license plate, as the license plate is the target! The M47 is recommended for larger cars or trucks.

• 3M DOUBLE SIDED TAPE
  On Some installations where there were no possible places for the mounting brackets to be used, 3M Double sided tape can hold the transponders in place. Only use 3M as this is the best double sided tape you can buy and will give the best adhesion. This is not recommended, but as a last resort it has worked in the past. REMEMBER: Blinder does not cover any warranty if the products are incorrectly installed, and using double sided tape to hold them on the grill doesn’t class a proper install.

• MOUNTING BRACKETS
  Fit the mounting brackets and the transponders together by using the short version of the enclosed fitting screws. DO NOT use the enclosed longer drilling screws to fit the bracket and the transponder together, as it will damage the inside electronic and will NOT be covered under the warranty. The longer screws are to be used to fasten the brackets to the car ONLY.

• HORIZONTAL LEVEL ANGLE
  Inside you install kite, there is a small spirit level included which you can use to make sure the transponders are level. Mount the transponders making sure that each transponder is horizontally level to the road and parallel to the driving direction. To ensure a perfect horizontal  level angle, fit the enclosed spirit level in one of the cylindrical holes in the front of the lens. After carefully adjusting the angle, tighten the screws on each side of the transponders. Check the level angle and replace the spirit level. Mount the enclosed plus with the small curved edge on each plug facing outward.

• CPU
  Locate a suitable place for the CPU inside the car’s interior. The CPU may not be located in the engine compartment because of heat risk and moisture. Connect all the transponders to the CPU indicated by the numbers 1 to 4.

• BUZZER AND LED
  Locate a suitable place for the Buzzer & LED connect the cable to the CPU market ‘Alert’.

• THE THREE-POSITION SWITCH
  Locate a suitable place for the 3-position mode switch, drill a hole of 20mm, draw the cable through the hole and connect it to the CPU.

• CONNECTION TO AUDIO MUTE
  The blue wire from the CPU can be connected to the Car Stereo audio mute and will automatically mute the Car Stereo when the Blinder alerts in multifunction mode. (See the Car-Stereo Manual)
• CONNECTION TO GROUND
  Connect the black wire from the 3-position switch to a solid ground (-).
• CONNECTION TO POWER SUPPLY
  Connect the red wire (+) from the 3 position mode switch to a solid switched 12-volt.

HOW TO OPERATE THE BLINDER

Use the 3-position switch to select the operating mode you wish to use.

The System can switch between position #I, #0 and #II. After a mode switch, the system will respond with sound/light as explained below. Sound/Light features are adjustable in the Blinder Update Software.
