The MAX-SAFE Reverse Watch® 2.0 System is a reverse brake system that is designed to assist the driver when reversing. It uses a rear mounted radar to detect objects behind the vehicle. When in reverse, if the radar detects an object within a pre-defined zone (the Detection Zone), it will first alert the driver, then, if the object becomes closer (entering the Danger Zone), the system will apply the park brake automatically and notify the driver.
This Hooklift option overcomes unwanted brake applications whilst reversing for loading or unloading purposes. When the Hooklift is in the HOME or STOWED position and the vehicle is in reverse, the system functions as designed, triggering a brake application if an obstacle is detected in the Danger Zone.
However, when the Hooklift is engaged and moved from the HOME or STOWED position, the braking of the system is disabled, allowing the driver to reverse without the brakes being automatically applied. While the Hooklift is engaged, the radar and in-cab display remain active, providing audible and visual warnings of obstacles in the Detection Zone at the rear of the vehicle, helping to maintain a high level of personnel and property detection.
This installation guide details the steps necessary to install the Hooklift option into vehicles with EBS, electric controlled Park Brake systems, that are installing or have installed the MAX-SAFE Reverse Watch® 2.0 System.
For how to operate the Reverse Watch® 2.0 system, please refer to the document Operational Functionality Guide – MAX-SAFE Reverse Watch® 2.0 – Body not-Home.
