Detection – PreView Radar
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:
SPV 2020 6 metres (20 foot) detection range
SPV 2015 5 metres (15 foot) detection range
SPV 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.
