Product Description
The PreView
®
Side Defender
™
radar is a small, rugged radar sensor designed
by Preco Electronics
®
for side blind zone object detection in heavy duty over-
the-road applications. When combined with an in-cab display, it alerts drivers
to objects in the side blind zones of heavy trucks, busses, waste trucks,
utility trucks, fire/ambulance and other heavy and medium-duty on-road
vehicles. If provided vehicle speed over a J1939 CAN-bus interface, the Side
Defender
™
has intelligent modes of operation that help minimize false alerts
due to fixed objects such as guardrails, while still providing reliable side
object detection.
