5.3.8 Blind Zone Configuration (Detection & Blind Zones)
The Backsense
®
system enables the user to configure Blind Cells inside the Detection Area
for which detected objects are ignored. The Blind Zone width can be configured between 2m
to 10m wide and is divided equally into 4 cells. Blind Zone length is fixed at 3.75m from the
front face of the sensor and is divided equally across 5 cells of 0.75m each, giving a total of 20
available blind cells to choose from.
Blind Cells may be selected individually to accommodate a varied range of applications. Both
the Detection Area and the Blind Area is symmetrical along same centre line.
The Blind Cells Selection area of the Detection and Blind Zones window is arranged so that
the cells nearest the bottom (numbers 1 to 4) represent the position closest to the sensor.
Cells nearest the top (numbers 17 to 20) are furthest from the sensor. Once the Blind Zone
width has been decided, each Cell can be selected individually to remove it from the Detection
Area. Any object in the selected Blind Cells will now be ignored if detected.
Blind Cells are selected by clicking on the desired cell number. To remove a selected cell,
simply click again to de-select. The maximum number of blind cells that may be configured is
10.
The image below shows an example of a 4m x 3.75m Blind Area with 2 cells (to the immediate
left of the sensor and forward) selected for blinding.
After Detection & Blind Zone setup is completed, the user must press the Save button. If the
Exit button is pressed, the configuration will not be saved!
Warning
• An object in a Blind Cell can mask an object further away from sensor. Such
masking is typically in line of sight from the sensor location but may affect
surrounding areas.
• Ensure each blind zone has been checked thoroughly for correct operation with
the vehicle both stationary and in motion.
