Mobile Awareness
Alternate Sensor Mounting Locations
The system is designed to be installed with all 4 (four)
Sensors aligned across the rear of the vehicle, preferably
at a height ranging from 16” to 32” from the ground.
When the Sensors are installed in a different layout (for
example to detect a building overhang as shown on the
right), please consider the following:
Each Sensor detects objects in a circular area
approximately 20” in diameter. The Sensor field of
coverage can be seen below in Figure 35.
When the Sensors are placed on two different levels
(per the example to the right) install S1 and S4 on the
top and S2 and S3 on the bottom of the vehicle.
It is recommended that the face of all Sensors should
be on the same plane to maximize the accuracy of the
system.
Sensors can also be mounted across the front of the vehicle to detect building
overhangs or to detect objects out of view.
NOTE: SenseStat is a tool to help the driver. The driver should always know what
is in front of or behind them and physically check the area themselves.
CAUTION: Using less than 4 (four) Sensors across the width of a bumper will
create limited coverage resulting in blind zones! It is strongly suggested that
these blind zones are mapped out to educate the driver regarding the system
limitations. See Figure 37.
