This system has been designed specifically for commercial vehicles and utilises ultrasonic sensors mounted in the front of the vehicle to detect objects whilst driving forwards at low speeds.

Discreet sensor and audio-visual unit
Rugged design that meets the challenges of commercial vehicles
Automatically ignores ancillary equipment such as tow bars, tail lifts and steps
Customisable detection distances and parameters to suit the vehicle type
Field diagnostic communication capbility with PDA or laptop
Product e marked (radiated and immunity)
New ultra wide asymmetric sensor (110 orizontal, 45 vertical)
IP66 rated small sensor (22mm hole)
IP66 rated tough control box

 

Detection Ranges
These vary depending upon application, product choice and vehicle type. Please speak to us to determine what the best detection range would be for your vehicle(s).

  • Initial warning: 3m (10') or 1.8m (6')
  • Final warning: 90cm (3') or 60cm (2') or 30cm (1')

 

Activation
FrontMinderTM is activated by the vehicle speed. Whilst it is technically possible for it to be on all the time, during town driving this can be annoying.

Therefore we have designed a system that activates FrontMinderTM using the vehicle speed. This is flexible and allows activation to take place when required.

Normally we would suggest that FrontMinderTM is activated at speeds between 7mph and 1mph. This means that when the vehicle is stationary FrontMinder is not active.
