  • Page 3: Introduction

    ® It is imperative that any Brigade Backsense system is fitted and commissioned by competent and trained technicians. The installer is responsible for the fitness for purpose of the overall system and must adhere to relevant regulations and legislation.
  • Page 4: Detection Pattern

    • For distances below 1.5m (detection with relative speed only) or below 0.3m (no detection) the space covered in general by radar systems is very small. In this scenario, Backsense® may not be the most suitable solution; therefore, Brigade recommends adding an additional or alternative detection system depending on the vehicle’s application.
  • Page 5: Factors Influencing The Detection Of Objects

    1.2.2 Factors Influencing the Detection of Objects ® Brigade Backsense shares in principle the advantages and limitations of all radar-based systems when compared to other sensing technologies. In general, it can reliably detect most objects in most environmental conditions such as dirt, dust, rain, snow, sun, fog, darkness, acoustic noise, mechanical vibration, electromagnetic noise, or similar.
  • Page 6 • Environmental conditions: Dense dust or very heavy rain or snowfall will reduce the detection capability.

    For electrical loading limits see section “6 Specifications”. On the BS-7100 system, the distance when the trigger output is activated can be configured.
  • Page 10: Sensor Mounting And Location

    The sensor should be mounted in an upright position with the cable exit on the sensor pointing downwards, such that the Brigade logo on the front of the sensor is readable when standing in the required detection area. The front of the sensor should have line of sight to all areas where objects should be detected.
  • Page 11: Mounting Angle

    3.4.4 Mounting Angle Brigade recommends mounting the radar on a bracket (available from Brigade, see Section 2 “Kit Contents”), which can have its angle adjusted relative to the horizontal plane to optimise performance. The table below suggests adjustment angles depending on the sensor installation height on the vehicle.

  • Page 14: Initial System Power Up And Test

    The BS-7100 allows the settings to be configured for: Detection length, detection width, zones length. Refer to section “4 Configuring the BS-7100”. Initial System Power Up and Test Once the sensor and display are installed and connected, power should be applied to test that the system is operating correctly.

    (during normal operation) will be flagged as an error by the LED display. Ensure the new sensor is configured. Power up the BS-7100 system with Mode 1 and Mode 2 configuration wires connected as per the table above. The BS-7100D will show (via zone lights) the correct detection mode is selected...

    Testing and Maintenance Operator Instructions ® This information is addressed to the operator of the vehicle where a Brigade Backsense System is installed: ® 1) The Brigade Backsense is intended as an Object Detection System and should not be relied upon as your primary defence for the safe operation of the vehicle. It is a driver aid...
  • Page 17 ® 5) Activate the Brigade Backsense System (ensure the vehicle cannot move) and verify the Status Light is illuminated constant green on the display within less than 7 seconds. 6) If the display shows any of the 5 Zone Lights activated, this indicates there are likely to be one or more objects in the detection area interfering with the test.
