The electronic control unit actuates and controls the sensor functioning, processes the signals
received from the sensors and actuates the acoustic device.
The sensors are ultrasound technology-based electronic components which act as smart
transmitters/receivers with ultrasound technology according to a triangulation method: it allows
better measurement in critical situations or when small obstacles are found.
The emitted pulses are reflected by the obstacles (if any) found in the ray path; thus, the
transducer receives an echo that is converted into a digital signal and sent to the electronic
control unit. The acoustic device is located inside the instrument board; moreover, it signals
the system actuation when the reverse gear is engaged and the fault (if any).
