Product Description
The Standard PreView
alert vehicle operators to obstacles. The system detects both moving and stationary objects in
a pre-defined coverage area and reports the distance of the closest object via visual range
indicators and an audible signal to a vehicle operator. The PreView
supplement other safety practices and is not to be the sole method of collision avoidance.

Sensor/Antenna Description
The antenna assembly transmits and receives low power 5.8GHz radar signals. It then
processes the returned signals to determine if an object has reflected any energy back to the
sensor and reports this to the operator display. The sensor is designed to process and report
detections within ½ of a second allowing the vehicle operator to quickly respond to any object

- Page 2 within the detection zone. All connections to a vehicle are accomplished at the sensor. Power is obtained from the vehicle reverse lights and a relay contact is provided for operating a back up alarm. The connection to the display unit is through a watertight connector eliminating any potential problems with pin corrosion.
- Page 3 Table 1. Operator Display Description Object Detection Capability The Standard PreView system can detect most objects within the detection zone. However, there are some instances where objects can go undetected. Obstacle size, shape, and composition are all factors determining if, when and where an object is detected. The PreView system operates by transmitting a pulse of very low power electromagnetic energy.

Page 5: Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Before you Start Prior to installing the Standard PreView Object Detection System take time to familiarize yourself with the installation instructions, theory of operation, and system components. Check the contents of the shipping package and verify the following items are included:... - Page 6 Back Up Alarm Electrical Connection The PreView sensor provides a normally open relay contact that can be used to activate an external back up alarm. The PreView system activates this relay output whenever an object is detected. Connect the orange and white wires on the sensor harness as shown below if a back up alarm is desired.
- Page 7 should be taken to not route the cable next to heat sources such as the engine and exhausts and areas that may see abrasion or rock damage. 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.
- Page 8 COMMON INSTALLATION PROBLEMS AND TROUBLESHOOTING Display power ON green LED is not illuminated. Verify that DC power is applied to the sensor when the vehicle is in reverse (+12V to red wire and ground to black wire). Verify that the cable between the sensor and display is properly connected. Display continuously flashes.
