5 Installation and Operating Instructions
5.3 Soft Docking
Error repair
Except a complete failure of the system the following situations
can lead to an erroneous signal on the display. The reason for
this is that in these cases, the physical limits of the ultrasonic
sound are exceeded.
a) If the trailer is driven at an angle to the dock, it is possible
for the sensor not to detect the dock (Fig. 152, a).
b) Caution while reversing towards ramps with fl oors that point
out from the main body (Fig. 152, b).
ATTENTION:
It is the driver’s responsibility to manoeuvre safely.
Ramps with curtains require special attention:
a) The material of the curtains can absorb the ultrasonic, this
means that the refl ected sound is too weak for the sensor
to detect (Fig. 153).
b) If the curtain is deformed, so that the ultrasonic signal could
defl ected not absorbed (Fig. 153).
Some materials like textiles weaken the ultrasonic signals,
signifi cantly reducing the sensing distance.
Conditions of no detection
The system will not detect the dock when the vehicle is not in
reverse. System will not operate if the speed of the vehicle is
excessive (more than 15 km per hour). If the trailer is driven at
an angle to the dock, it is possible for the sensor not to detect
the dock. Some materials like textiles weaken the ultrasonic
signals, signifi cantly reducing the
sensing distance. The system
cannot replace the driver’s responsibility to ensure a clear
passage when manoeuvring. The operation needs to be tested
on a vehicle after installation. The vehicle requires BPW ECO
Tronic EBS system to function.
Liability Exclusion
The system is not totally accurate under all circumstances. The
driver must manoeuvre with care up to the dock. BPW cannot
be held responsible for any damage that may occur when using
the system. It is the driver’s responsibility to reverse safely.
