Product Overview
SenseStat® is a unique family of Obstacle Detection Sensor Systems
(ODSS) that uti-lize the latest ultrasonic technology to detect objects
that are up to eight (8) feet from the rear of a vehicle. These backup alert, reverse-sensing systems, are available in both wired and
wireless congurations designed for multiple commercial vehicle appli-cations. SenseStat uses a Sensor-scanning algorithm that reads
each of four (4) sepa-rate Sensors providing the ability to Monitor
4-zones across the width of a vehicle. The result is a greater degree
of “blind spot” coverage in helping to prevent backing acci-dents, improper back-ups and allows for convenient tractor/trailer exchange
with all SenseStat equipped trucks.
Product Features
• Automatic activation when in reverse – Drivers don’t have to remember to turn onthe system. It’s there for you every time you put
your vehicle in reverse.
• Easy trailer switch (Wireless Only)– For tractor trailer rigs, just con-

nect to anySenseStat-equipped trailer, press the Monitor’s sync button and you’re connected andready to roll.
• Flexible Sensor placement – If overheads or low-hanging wires are
a concern,SenseStat Sensors can be installed at the top corners of
your vehicle: front orback. They can also be split between truck top
and bumpers.

• Virtual bumper – For lift trucks or vehicles with extended bumpers,
SenseStat’s Stop-line Adjustment will adjust your stopping distance
(zero point) away from the actualbumper by whatever distance you
need. This allows for accurate stopping with allow-ance for overhanging ladders, folding lifts or other protrusions.
• Long trailers, extended cabs or busses – By installing the wireless
system, youeliminate the need for long wire runs through sometimes-complex wiring routes.
• SenseStat SE— oers a rugged housing for the systems four Sensors.
These heavy-duty, 2” x 3.2” x 1.4” shock-absorbent housings adapt to a
wide variety of vehiclesrequiring either a vertical or horizontal installation. Protect your systems against roughhandling, roadwear, construction sites and other conditions that might aect your in-vestment in
safety.

About the Monitor
The Monitor consists of a bright LED display having 4 individual bar
(Sensor) indicators and a distance meter. The advanced capabilities
of the system are designed such that the dash-mounted display will
indicate the distance (in feet & inches or meters) of the Sensor that is
closest to an object. The yellow dot at the top of the Sensor (S1, S2, S3
or S4) that is closest to an object will ash while that Sensors distance
to the object is indicated on the display. As the vehicle is moving, if an
object becomes closer to a dierent Sensor, the yellow dot over that
Sensors bar will ash and indicate its distance to the new closest object.
See the table on page 15 for more information on when the Monitor
will provide visual and audible warnings

About the Monitor
• Indication of Sensors: S1, S2, S3, S4 indicate Sensor locations from left to
right (see Fig 8)
• Indication of Direction and Zone: The 4 LED column bars show the Direction
and Zone (Sensor) of the obstacle
• Indication of Distance: Shows the distance from the Sensor to the obstacle in
meters or in feet & inches of the Sensor that is closest to an object
• Signal Intensity: Shows the wireless signal strength (when applicable).
• Unit: Displays the unit of measurement being used, feet or metersIndication

About the ECU
The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is an intelligent microcontroller system with
four (4) individual Sensor inputs, all contained in a waterproof enclosure. There
are four (4) integrated cables labeled S1, S2, S3 and S4, which will connect to
the four (4) each Sensor Units. There are two mounting holes for securing the
ECU at the rear of the vehicle. Since the ECU is watertight, it can be installed
underneath the vehicle to facili-tate the installation. Two antenna options are

available for the Wireless ECU to assist with the installation depending on
your mounting location and needs pertaining to your vehicle. See the install
section of this manual for further information.
