Page 13: Installation
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: Keep Out/Interference Zones
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
The sensor’s horizontal field of view is +/- 75 degrees and the vertical field of view is +/- 10 degrees. For optimal performance, the sensor should protrude beyond any other portion of the vehicle. Important! Before permanently installing the PreView Side Defender Radar on the ®... -
Page 16: Initial System Power Up And Test
Initial System Power Up and Test Once the sensor and display are installed, wired, and connected, power should be applied to test correct system operation. When the system is operating correctly, the status LED indicating green will be the only light illuminated. -
Page 17: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Display Status LED is not illuminated: Verify that DC power (9-33V) is applied to the sensor. Verify that the cable between the sensor and display is connected. Display Status LED and Detection LED are both illuminated: There is a system error, contact PRECO Electronics ®... -
