Introduction
This Guide provides information to assist with installation and use of the BodyGuard® i-Tag® proximity
detection and warning system.
The document begins with an overview of the system and then describes the wiring connections for
both single sensor and dual sensor systems.
An explanation is given for installation and running the simple configuration utility that enables
changes to the detection zone distances and speaker volume using a Bluetooth connection between
computer BodyGuard® systems.
Overview
The BodyGuard® system improves safety by increasing driver awareness when pedestrians are too
close to the vehicle. The system comprises a Cab Alert unit, Speaker and one or more sensor units.
The Sensor Unit receives information from pedestrian “Tag” devices, process and transfer information
to the Cab Alert unit.
The Cab Alert Unit processes information from all sensors and determines whether a Tag detection
has occurred within the detection zone of any Sensor unit fitted. The Cab Alert unit provides an
Audible alarm (alert followed by human voice notification) as well as visual warning. In addition to the
Alarm functions, the Cab Alert manages installation and removal of sensor units, storage of all
detection and system events and facilitates Bluetooth communication between the Cab Alert unit and
computer.
