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. - Page 5 APS-SUPPLY.COM The sensor frequency band is legal throughout most of the world, but check with PRECO® Electronics or your country’s regulations before purchasing. The Side Defender™ radar works in adverse weather conditions, has a wide operating temperature range, is sealed to meet IP69K, withstands high vibration and shock levels, and is maintenance free.

Page 13: Installation
VEHICLE SAFETY APS-SUPPLY.COM Installation Sensor Mounting The Side Defender™ radar mounting location is important for proper system operation. Ideally the sensor should be mounted on the side of the vehicle between 18” (45cm) and 24” (61cm) above the ground, as measured from level ground to the bottom of the sensor. - Page 14 VEHICLE SAFETY APS-SUPPLY.COM Figure 9. Vertical and Horizontal Angle Mounting Tolerances The performance of the sensor can be negatively impacted if the sensor is angled down, causing false detection from the ground. Any time the sensor is not perpendicular to the ground, the performance should be tested. Keep Out/Interference Zones Metallic and any other strong radar reflecting objects must remain outside of the keep out zones defined in Figure 1.
- Page 15 Sensor Mounting Procedure PRECO® Electronics supplies a 90 degree mounting bracket for the Side Defender™ radar. If the provided 90°bracket is not appropriate, please contact PRECO® Electronics If mounting directly to the vehicle, follow the procedure outlined below.
