7) Verify each detection zone’s distance: Starting from the outside of the detection area, the
operator should check several points along the centre line of the detection width down to
around 0.4m distance from the sensor. The display should show the detection alerts via
the lit Zone Lights, the buzzer pulsing speed and, if the trigger output is used, the
connected device or function. The operator should note down the distance at which each
detection zone is activated and if it is in line with the installed system or the configuration
for this vehicle.
8) Close detection behaviour: Verify objects in between 0.3m and 1.3m distance are only
detected if they move relative to sensor. All Zone Lights except for red should be
constantly active. The red colour Zone Light should stay active for systems covering more
than 1.1m distance with the closest detection zone 1.
9) Very close detection awareness: Verify objects less than 0.3m from the sensor are not
detected. All the Zone Lights and buzzer output should switch off after less than 3 seconds
with only the Status Light remaining illuminated constant green.
10) Similar to the previous tests the operator should scan all the edges of the detection area
according to the installed system or configuration for this vehicle. He should note down the
detected locations and check if they match with the detection area set when this Brigade
