DETECTING

 

BICYCLES 

-

 

Normal sensitivity: bicycles are detected at +/- 20 m, regardless of the programmed maximum range. 

-

 

Low sensitivity: bikes are detected at +/- 12 m. We recommend setting the detection distance to 20 or 40 
m. 

-

 

Tilt the radar to reduce the dead zone (point the radar towards the centre of the desired detection area, 
regardless of the maximum detection distance which can remain at 150 m with normal sensitivity)

Point at 150 m (inclination close to horizontal)

Normal sensitivity 

-

 

It is possible that the radar detects highly reflective objects (excavator, snow plough...) at more than 250 
m during a very short period of time.  Setting the sensitivity to the "low" position will avoid this, but the 
overall detection distance will be slightly reduced for all objects.
