Description of the System
Overview
The main purpose of all machine control products of the Leica iCON PA series
is to support machine drivers in recognising pedestrians or other vehicles mov-
ing around their vehicle, thus reducing the risk of accidents.
Leica iCON PA is an advanced personal alert system for machine drivers and
on-site personnel based on the Time-of-Flight principle (ToF) for distance ran-
ging.
Detection zones
iCON PA allows you to configure proximity limits for three different detection
zones around a machine (Fig. 1):
Far
a)
Near
b)
Close (danger zone)
c)
As soon as a pedestrian enters one of these zones, both the pedestrian and
the machine driver are alerted by the alarm signal specified for this zone.
