The system is designed to enhance operator awareness of objects surrounding a machine. Use of this system does not replace basic safety precautions and procedures for operating a machine. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual of the machine for additional information.The system uses radar and video in order to provide the operator with additional information about the work area around the machine. The display interfaces with the radar sensors that are mounted around the machine. The radar sensors provide detection of objects that are normally in the blind spots around the machine. The system will detect light-duty vehicles and other large objects that are near the machine. The optimum size of the detected objects is 1.5 m (5 ft) by 1.5 m (5 ft). Refer to Illustration 2.

Optimum Object SizeRecognition of an object is dependent upon the material composition, size, and the speed of the object. The system may detect an object that is the size of a standing adult human. However, due to a limited number mounting locations for the radars, there are gaps in radar coverage that allow an object to be undetected.

Coverage that is provided by the radar sensors (1) Areas of restricted radar detection (A) 1.5 m (5 ft) (B) 18.3 m (60 ft)The boxes (1) that are on the sides and the rear of the machine represent areas that do not have radar coverage. The rear tires cause restricted radar detection behind the truck. The restricted radar detection on the sides of the machine is due to no object detection sensors located in the areas near the rear tires.Objects are most likely to enter areas of restricted radar detection when the machine has been stopped. In order to prevent objects entering an area of restricted radar detection, the system activates when the keyswitch is turned to the ON position. The system remains in the active state until the machine reaches a trigger speed or distance. The system operation can be configured for distance-based mode or speed based mode. The distance-based mode or speed-based mode can be changed on the configuration screen. ET must be connected to the machine in order to change between distance-based speed-based modes.The speed-based mode allows the system to remain active when the machine is traveling in the forward direction at speeds less than 8 km/h (5 mph). The system transitions to the standby state when the machine speed exceeds 8 km/h (5 mph). The system activates
