Greensight Rear Obstacle Detection
The Greensight rear obstacle detection system detects persons and objects
within a specific distance behind the vehicle while the vehicle is reversing.
Attention
Please note that Greensight is an accurate rear obstacle detection system
based on ultrasonic technology. This technology has its limitations with respect
to the speed of response when an obstacle is detected in direct relation to the
accuracy provided. Consequently, Greensight should NOT be used in applica-
tions at higher speeds than 5km/h when connected directly with automatically
operated safety related devices e.g. engine cut-offs, braking systems etc.
Greensight is a safety aid provided for the driver / operator and they always re-
main fully responsible for the safe use of the equipment operated.
Greensight consists of the following main components:
•
Control unit
•
Two bottom sensors on vehicle rear end
•
Two top/side bottom sensors (optional)
•
Monitor in the cab and a colour camera on the vehicle rear end
•
Display unit in the cab or indicator lights on vehicle rear end (optional)
•
Alarm horn (optional)
•
Extra camera (optional)
Detection area (zones)
The detection area has been divided into 3 zones, which can be set to customer-
defined dimensions within the parameters of the system. The zone lengths of the
3 zones are specified on a sticker inside the vehicle or on the trailer.
