The sensor detects both moving and stationary objects in a pre-defined coverage area and can report the distance of the closest object via visual range indicators (display) and an audible signal (display or buzzer) to the equipment operator. Figure 1. PreView Sentry ® Radar Sensor Although the PreView ® sensor performs well in harsh environments (high temperature, fog, rain, snow, etc.) it is still recommended that the sensor face be cleaned periodically as you would your equipment lights. The sensor is sealed to meet IP69K, withstands high vibration and shock levels, and is virtually maintenance free. Sensor Description The PreView Sentry ® is a small, rugged, short/medium range radar sensor designed by PRECO Electronics ® for use in heavy duty applications, such as trucks/busses, construction, mining, waste, utilities, and other applications requiring a robust, high-performance radar. This frequency band is legal throughout most of the world, but check with PRECO Electronics ® or your country’s regulations before purchasing. The sensor transmits and receives low power 24 GHz radar signals. It then processes the returned signals to determine if an object ha…

The results of this test pertain only to the sample(s) tested. The specific description is noted in each of the individual sections of the test report supporting this certificate of test. This report reflects only those tests from the referenced standards shown in the certificate of test. It does not include inspection or verification of labels, identification, marking or user information. As indicated in the Statement of Work sent with the quotation, Element’s standard process is to always use the latest published version of the test methods even when earlier versions are cited in the test specification. Issuance of a purchase order was de facto acceptance of this approach. Otherwise, the client would have advised Element in writing of the specific version of the test methods they wanted applied to the subject testing. Last Date of Test: October 8, 2019 Preco, Inc.

The difference is the result of tolerances in the measurement system that cannot be completely eliminated. To the extent that technology allows us, it has been our aim to minimize this error. Measurement uncertainty is a statistical expression of measurement error qualified by a probability distribution. A measurement uncertainty estimation has been performed for each test per our internal quality document QM205.4.6. The estimation is used to compare the measured result with its "true" or theoretically correct value. The expanded measurement uncertainty (K=2) can be found included as part of the applicable test description page. Our measurement data meets or exceeds the measurement uncertainty requirements of the applicable specification; therefore, the test da…
