Q. What
is Preview™ and how does it work?
A. The PreView™ 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.
Q. Does adverse weather, such as rain or snow, affect the
performance of the PreView™ system?
A. The Programmable PreView™ systems
and the Standard PreView™ systems are not affected by harsh
weather conditions, including temperature extremes, rain, sleet,
snow, or fog.
Q. Will the Standard PreView™ system and the Programmable
PreView™ system operate on a 24 volt system, such as found
on off-road heavy equipment?
A. Yes. Both the Programmable PreView™
system and the Standard PreView™ system are 12 volt and 24
volt interchangeable.
Q. What is the detection range of the PreView™ systems?
Can it be modified?
A. The Programmable PreView™ system
is can be supplied in various ranges from 8 meters (26 feet) to
3 meters (10 feet) these can be obtained by programming the sensor.
In addition to the different ranges, programming the sensor can
also change the detection pattern width. Please contact us further
details on the different detection zone options.
The Standard PreView™ system comes in three different models:
PVS 2020 6 metres (20 foot) detection range
PVS 2015 5 metres (15 foot) detection range
PVS 2010 3 metres (10 foot) detection range
Q. Some vehicles may have equipment mounted on the rear
bumper; will this cause a problem with the PreView™ Object
Detection System.
A. A major improvement in the PreView™
Object Detection System has been the addition of a feature that
allows close-in objects to be ignored. Many vehicle installations
require the PreView™ sensor to be mounted where a portion
of the vehicle is constantly being detected and reported as close
in detection. Examples of this may be a recessed mounting location,
tires, or bumper.
