PRECOlink is an integral part of your PreView® object detection system.
Daily Maintenance PreView® systems on operating equipment must be tested each day prior to equipment operation. The equipment operator must check for proper operation at the beginning of every shift or safety inspection period. A walk around test shall be performed every day to verify proper function of the system and to familiarize the operator with the detection pattern. More frequent inspections should be performed when: • • The equipment is operating in a particularly dirty or harsh environment.

Failure to observe this warning could result in the RF exposure levels exceeding the applicable limits.
2.1 Auxiliary Input PRECO Electronics® PreView® Systems are engineered to offer auxiliary output functions that can be used for additional alerts. The PRECOlink auxiliary input offers an auxiliary output from the End Device and wirelessly to the in-cab Coordinator, providing a user-friendly auxiliary output function at both the End Device and Coordinator. 2.2 Auxiliary Output PRECOlink supports an auxiliary output signal that can be used for additional alerts from both the rear and side detection sensors.

Installation If the PRECO Electronics® system is not installed properly, it may not operate as intended, which may result in a failure to warn the operator of a hazardous situation. 3.1 Before you Begin Prior to installing the PreView® system with PRECOlink, take time to familiarize yourself with all of the all documentation, theory of operation, and system components. 3.2 PRECOlink Install Location Coordinator Installs in the cab, secured behind the dash towards the left or right side of the vehicle.
supplied harness, use 20 AWG wire as a minimum. Connect the black ground wire to an existing dedicated ground location or create a new ground connection. End Device Locate the vehicle’s ignition, reverse power source, or power from the sensor and connect to the red wire on the sensor harness. If it is necessary to extend the power wire on the supplied harness, use 20 AWG wire as a minimum. Connect the black ground wire to an existing dedicated ground location or create a new ground location.
Troubleshooting Step 1: If signal strength is low, attempt moving either the Coordinator, End Device or both as close to the side of the vehicle as possible. If this fails to improve signal strength, rotate either the Coordinator, End Device or both, if possible. Step 2: If Step 1 fails, connect the included x2 external antennas, one to the Coordinator and one to the End Device. Antennas must have the same orientation i.e., both pointing up or both pointing down, both pointing left or both pointing right.
