The Side Defender™ radar sensor performance is not affected by other PreView®
Side Defender™ radar or similar sensors operating in close proximity with each
other.
Other Sensor Features
The Side Defender™ radar has a continuous Built-In-Self-Test (BIST) that notifies
the operator display of sensor failure within a fraction of a second. This test
functions by monitoring the transmit and receive performance as well as other
internal operations.
The Side Defender™ radar can also determine if the face of the sensor is blocked
with excessive ice, mud, or snow that is impeding proper operation. This blockage
is then reported to the operator display.
Both the self-test and blockage detection features are important to fail-safe
operation.
In-cab LED Display
Description
The in-cab display provides the vehicle operator with a visual indication of a
detected object anytime the vehicle is operating. The display unit also contains
a buzzer that provides an audible alert that only activates when the turn signal
is energized, providing the operator with another cue that an object is being
detected. The audible alert will only sound upon the first detection of an object
while the turn signal is energized. The audible alert will not sound again until the
turn signal is cycled.
