WideBand PreView

Operating Manual/Installation Guide

Product Description

The WideBand PreView

is a solid-state, pulsed radar object detection system designed to

alert vehicle operators to obstacles. The system detects both moving and stationary objects in

a pre-defined coverage area and reports the distance of the closest object via visual range

indicators and an audible signal to a vehicle operator. The WideBand PreView

system is

designed to supplement other safety practices and is not to be the sole method of collision

avoidance.

The WideBand PreView

consists of three major components: an environmentally sealed

sensor, an operator display mounted in the cab of the vehicle, and a recommended external

back up warning alarm. The WideBand PreView

system does not require cleaning and is not

effected by harsh weather conditions, including temperature extremes, rain, sleet, snow, or

fog.

The WideBand PreView

system comes in three different models:

WPV 2020 Twenty (20) foot detection range

WPV 2015 Fifteen (15) foot detection range

WPV 2010 Ten (10) foot detection range

Sensor/Antenna Description

The antenna assembly transmits and receives low power 6.5GHz radar signals. It then

processes the returned signals to determine if an object has reflected any energy back to the

sensor and reports this to the operator display. The sensor is designed to process and report detections within ½ of a second allowing the vehicle operator to quickly respond to any object within the detection zone. All connections to a vehicle are accomplished at the sensor. Power is obtained from the vehicle reverse lights and a relay contact is provided for operating a back up alarm.

Item Power On LED Range Indications Buzzer Volume Control Switch Description Illuminates continuously after power is applied to the system. The power will change from green to red if a system malfunction occurs. Illuminate to give operator a relative distance measurement to the closet detected object. LED’s operate from the left to the right, with the closer an object the more LED’s illuminated. Sounds audible tones to alert operator of obstacles.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Before You Start Prior to installing the WideBand PreView tm Object Detection System take time to familiarize yourself with the installation instructions, theory of operation, and system components.
PAGE 8
Back Up Alarm Electrical Connection The WideBand PreView tm sensor provides an auxiliary output that can be used to activate an external back up alarm. The WideBand PreView tm system activates this output whenever an object is detected. This output is switched to ground when active. Connect the blue wire on the interconnect harness as shown below if a back up alarm is desired. The PreView tm NOTE: sensor does not provide power for back up alarm use.

sensor. If possible move the sensor so it is not detecting the object(s). If it is not possible to relocate the sensor, then consult the factory. If for some reason the system is malfunctioning, all of the LED’s (yellow and green) will be flashing and the buzzer will be sounding. Refer to the Error Indications and Troubleshooting sections below to determine the error and solution. Once the system has been installed, the detection zone should be tested. Testing is accomplished by using two individuals.
