RADAR BACKUP DETECTION SYSTEM
The Brigade Backsense radar rear-detection system functions by detecting the closest obstacle in the zone of coverage. There are currently three systems available: BS-1030 – able to detect objects within a 10 feet radius, BS-1045 – that can detect in 15 feet radius and BS-1060 – which has a 20 foot radius. Each system is made up of two main parts – interior and exterior. The external unit is a circular radar sensor unit, 5.25 inches in diameter. This is connected to an in-cab audio-visual display unit that uses LED distance indicators. This unit emits a tone that increases in pulse rate the closer an object is to the external sensor. The system uses the pulsed radar waves, which have a longer range than infra-red and ultrasonic waves, and are able to travel through snow, rain, mud, dirt and even plastic.
