2662 Brigade Electronics says that its new pulsed radar system boosts safety onsite. This package delivers close-in corner and corner blind-spot detection and is suited to use with light to medium duty mobile machinery. Called the Workzone Backsense, this unit completes Brigade's range of Xtreme and Standard pulsed radar obstacle-detection systems. The sys features twin antennas providing complimentary detection ranges. One antenna offers a shorter radar beam for close-in detection across the back of the vehicle, whilst the other offers a 3m range, preventing false alarms. The sensors are connected to an in-cab warning device to alert the driver of an object, vehicle or person in the danger zone when manoeuvring. In addition Brigade has developed a new waterproof camera monitor system, the BE-970, for use with heavy equipment.
