TABLE OF CONTENTS
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Radar Object Detection System uses frequency modulated continuous
wave radar technology to detect stationary objects and people in blind spots.
This advanced system alerts the operator with both visual and audible
warnings. The system has three distinct length and width modes, enabling
the operator to adjust the system to t their needs. The commercial grade
heavy-duty system has an IP69K waterproof rating and works perfectly in all
weather conditions.
Before permanently installing the system on the vehicle, verify that the
sensor mounting location provides a clear detection zone.
Take the vehicle to a clear area, temporarily attach the sensor in the
proposed mounting location, apply power to the system, and verify that
nothing is being detected. Our system is not aected if multiple systems are
operating in the same area or on the same vehicle, even if they are installed
in close proximity with overlapping detection ranges. There is no detection
of an object closer than approx. 0.3m to the sensor.
