• After turning on power the system takes around 1 second to be active. There is no
standby mode.
Notes:
• For distances below 1.3m (detection with relative speed only) or below 0.3m (no
detection) the space covered in general by radar systems is very small. In this scenario,
Backsense
®
may not be the most suitable solution and therefore Brigade recommends
adding an additional or alternative detection system depending on the vehicle’s
application. For example Brigade Backscan
®
based on ultrasonic sensing technology,
offers superior detection at close ranges.
• Brigade Backsense
®
systems remain unaffected even when multiple sensors are
operating in the same area or on the same vehicle. Close proximity and overlapping
detection areas cause no adverse effect on Backsense’s detection properties.
Tip: Brigade Backsense
®
detection is generally better when there is relative speed between
the sensor and the objects and when the direction of approach is perpendicular to the
sensor front face.
