5 Installation and Operating Instructions
5.3 Soft Docking
Adjusting the sensors:
If you cannot position the sensor assembly on the outermost
area of the rear panel, you can adjust the detection of the
sensors with a special tool (DIN 546). The available adjustable
area of the sensor is 10° horizontal and vertical.
By rotating the screw clockwise, the housing will be inclined in
the direction of the rotated screw.
Due to the order of the screws (3 x 120°) you have the possibility
to incline the sensor in any direction (maximum adjusting area
is 10°). The adjustment should only be made with an obstacle
in place.
ATTENTION:
Soft Docking is protected against an AC voltage supply, but will
not function. It will function again correctly when reconnected
with DC supply.
Operating instructions:
The complete system is installed into the last third of the trailer.
Thus the Soft Docking is independent of the truck and also very
well suited for changes of the truck and trailer combination.
Engage the reverse gear and you activate the system.
Both sensors indicate the distance to an obstacle to the system
electronics. Depending on the distance to an object, the system
electronics will give out a warning signal (from the reversing
alarm and LED outline marker), which varies depending on the
object distance.

System check 1.
(De-activation of the system by switching on the tail lights):
If the tail light is on while engaging the reverse gear, the tail
light function in the outline marker is deactivated for about 2
seconds. As soon as the obstacle is more than 3 m away, the
lamp is switched to normal – permanent operation. The buzzer
is not activated. If you get nearer than 3 m to the obstacle, the
system switches to the 5 test phases.
System check 2.
(Activation of the system during the day with tail lights switched
on):
After engaging the reverse gear the outline marker is turned
on.
Distance to the obstacle > 3 m:
Outline marker is on, buzzer is silent!
Distance to the obstacle < 3 m:
System switches to the fi ve test phases.
