Operating Manual/Installation Guide
Product Description
The Standard PreView
tm
is a solid-state, pulsed radar object detection system designed to
alert vehicle operators to obstacles. The system detects both moving and stationary objects in
a pre-defined coverage area and reports the distance of the closest object via visual range
indicators and an audible signal to a vehicle operator. The PreView
tm
system is designed to
supplement other safety practices and is not to be the sole method of collision avoidance.
The Standard PreView
tm
consists of three major components: an environmentally sealed
sensor, an operator display mounted in the cab of the vehicle, and a recommended external
back up warning alarm. The Standard PreView
tm
system does not require cleaning and is not
effected by harsh weather conditions, including temperature extremes, rain, sleet, snow, or
fog.
The Standard PreView
tm
system comes in three different models:
SPV 2020
Twenty (20) foot detection range
SPV 2015
Fifteen (15) foot detection range
SPV 2010
Ten (10) foot detection range
Sensor/Antenna Description
The antenna assembly transmits and receives low power 5.8GHz radar signals. It then
processes the returned signals to determine if an object has reflected any energy back to the
sensor and reports this to the operator display. The sensor is designed to process and report
detections within ½ of a second allowing the vehicle operator to quickly respond to any object
