6.2 Positioning of the sensors on refuse collection vehicles
Observe the following safety instructions for handling cables:
 Waterthatentersthecablecoreorcablesleevecandamageelectronic
controlunits.Cableswithopenendsshouldthereforealwaysbe
connectedinthedriver’scabtoensurethatnowatercanenterthem.
Wherethisisnotpossible,useasuitablecablejointbox,e.g.AK190.This
applies in particular when using the prepared brake interface on the
Daimler Econic Euro6.
 Planyourinstallationpositionsothatcablescannotbecomekinked.
 Fastenthecablesandconnectorssothattheplugconnectionsarenot
subjectedtoanytensilestressorlateralforces.
 Neverroutecablesoversharpedgesorinthevicinityofaggressivemedia
(e.g.acids).
 Routethecabletotheconnectionssothatnowatercanenterthe
connector.
 Fastenthecabletiessothatthecableisnotdamaged.
 Whenusingtools,pleasenotetheinstructionsofthecable-tie
manufacturer.
 Ifthecablesaretoolong,donotwindthemupbutlaytheminloops.
Thethreestandardapplicationsshownherearepredominantlydesignedforvehicleswithatrearsections.
Thepositioningofthesensorsonrefusecollectionvehicleswiththeirfar-protrudingandextremelyvaryingliftingand
tippingmechanisms,ontheotherhand,mustusuallybeadaptedtoaccommodatetherespectivemechanisms.
Herearesometriedandtestedexamples:
Withthisliftingandtippingmechanism,justtwoultrasonicsensorswereinstalledononeplane.Amiddlesensorwas
notinstalledonaccountofthehydrauliclifter.Nevertheless,thedetectionofobjectsbehindthevehicleprovedtobe
adequate.
