Brigade Electronics 5916 Sidescan Flex Ultrasonic Detection System with Mute Function (12-24VDC)

Why Ultrasonic Proximity Sensors?

Reducing blind spots and improving driver visibility are important issues for operators of road-going vehicles. Over the past few years, safety devices such as additional mirrors or camera systems that give wider viewing angles have become commonplace, and even mandatory under blind spot legislation. However, despite an increase in visibility, collisions with other vehicles, fixed objects, cyclists, workers and even pedestrians, remain high.

Obstacle detection using ultrasonic sensors can minimise both vehicle damage and collisions with pedestrians or cyclists. Perfect for road-going commercial vehicles operating in confined spaces or manoeuvring at low speed, the detection system alerts the driver of obstacles close to the vehicle, whether moving or stationary. An audible and/or visual in-cab warning informs of distance, whilst an optional external speaking alarm can be added to alert cyclists and pedestrians that the vehicle is turning.

Sidescan^®Flex

Flexible side detection. Sidescan^®Flex is a four-sensor system fitted to the side of a vehicle to detect objects in the nearside blind spot, where cyclists or pedestrians can otherwise go undetected. An advancement to the standard Sidescan^® system, Sidescan^®Flex allows the operator to choose from four detection configurations, each with different detection distances, and audible and visual alerts. Sidescan^®Flex has an increased maximum detection range of 2.5 meters.
