Proper use

MagicWatch is an ultrasonic reverse warning system. When reversing, it
monitors the space behind the vehicle and provides an audible and visible
warning signal for any obstacles it detects.
Since MagicWatch is designed merely as an additional aid for reversing, it
does not relieve you of the duty to take proper care when reversing.
MagicWatch is designed for installation in cars.

Technical description

5.1

Functional description

MagicWatch consists of three built-in sensors, a controller and a piezoelec-
tronic speaker for audible warning signals. The piezoelectronic speaker is fit-
ted on the parcel shelf or boot cover.
It measures distances based on the echo time principle. The three sensors
constantly emit ultrasonic signals when you reverse.
The sensors contain both transmitters and receivers, and capture any ultra-
sonic signals reflected by obstacles. The distance to the obstacle is calcu-
lated using the echo time, and signalled by the speaker using a sequence of
impulse tones. The closer the obstacle approaches, the faster the succes-
sion of warning tones.
The sensors are installed on the bumper. It is possible to paint the sensors,
but not with a multicoat paint, as it impairs the functionality of the sensors.
Since the sensors are equipped with their own amplifiers, you can extend the
connection between the sensors and the controller to up to 10 m.
Only use WAECO cables (MWCS-1).
Otherwise, proper operation cannot be guaranteed.
Defective sensors can be replaced without removing the bumper. There is a
plug connector just behind the sensor for this.
