Waste Application Technology

Waste industry vehicles are some of the most rugged on the road, required to work in virtually any weather condition and in both rural and urban environments.  An idustry like this demands a durable safety system like PreView™ that can handle inclement weather, temperature extremes, dust and dirt, and constant vibrations.  That's why PreView™ features a robust design and encapsulated circuitry to be as rugged as the vehicles on which it's installed and work even in the harshest of conditions.

Pulse Radar System

PreView™ utilizes a pulse radar technology to detect moving and stationary objects in zones obscured from the operator's view.  Why pulse radar?  Because some systems, like ultrasonic, infrared and video, rely on ideal environmental condidtions to function properly, while others, like Doppler radar, only detect moving objects.  Pulse radar technology detects both stationary and moving objects in virtually all environmental conditions.  When safety is a priority, making sure your safety system works is vital.

User-Friendly Display

The PreView™ in-cab display was designed to maximize its effectiveness in the cab environment.  The display features a group of lights and an audible alart to provide the operator with notification of an object's relative distance.  The closer the vehicle gets to an object, the more L.E.D. lights will illuminate and the audible warning output will increase in frequency.

Other PreView™ Technology Highlights

  • Durability - Tested to comply with the SAE 1455 environmentall specification.
     
  • Simplicity - Contains only three components: sensor unit, in-cab display unit, and a cable connection from the sensor unit to the in-cab display unit.
     
  • Flexibility - Easily integrates with other safety systems.  the in-cab disply unit can be mounted anywhere in the caab to best suit the operator's need.
     
  • Customizability - The Standard dual system can detect objects from 10 to 20 feet from the sending unit, and can be modified to detect custom ranges within those distances.
     
  • Usability - In-cab display offers three audible settings to meet in-cab noise level requirements, and the L.E.D.s are easily visible night and day.
