Depending on the model of the Brigade Backsense® system and the required mounting height
of the sensor either the angle needs to be adjusted or the distance to ground level must be
longer than the detection length selected.
3.4.5 Offset to Vehicle Centre Line Mounting
If the Brigade Backsense
®
System is fitted off-centre or at an angle to the vehicle centre line
the detection area
(see section “1.2.1 Detection Pattern”) is likely to be incorrect or misaligned
with the vehicle width or direction of travel.
Using the Blind Area Setup of the configurable Backsense
®
System might resolve or
compensate for mounting location issues, enabling off-centred or angled installations ( see
section “4.3.11 Blind Area Setup”).
3.5 Cable
Cables should be run in conduit and along suitable cable runs throughout the vehicle. A 24mm
hole is required to pass the connectors through.
Note:
●
Allow a reasonable bending radius when folding excess cabling or for the routing of
the cable.
•
Avoid tight bends close to the connectors.
•
Avoid pulling on the connector.
•
Ensure all cables are fitted into suitable protective conduit
•
Ensure cabling and connectors are fitted away from sources of excess heat, vibration,
movement and water.
3.6 Display
3.6.1 Mounting
The display should be mounted so the vehicle operator has good visibility in all environments
and situations. The display should be fixed in a suitable location in line with any current
legislation/regulations.
Note: Brigade recommends installing the display in an upright or sideways orientation. The
display should not be orientated in an upside-down direction.
The bracket is fixed to the display with a keyway shaft locking method and locked with a
machine screw. The bracket can be separated from the display by removing the screw and
sliding the bracket towards the front of the display. The AMPS hole pattern can be used for
flush mounting or when using any AMPS compatible bracket (not supplied by Brigade).
Note:
●
In heavy duty applications for shock, vibration or extreme temperatures an installation
using the AMPS hole pattern should be used.
