Instruments and Controls Identification fifth wheel lock radar beam’s field of view and provide a surface area that can reflect back the radar beam. parking brake The front-looking antenna assembly transmits radar signals to, and receives them back from, vehicles and objects ahead. This allows the determination of the distance to, relative speed of, and angle to the target of vehicles and objects ahead. The system uses this information to warn the driver of potentially dangerous situations.
sand antilock mirror heater utility lights axle lock Optional side sensor(s) mounted on the side of the vehicle also transmit and receive radar signals for a distance of 2 to 10 feet (0.5 to 3 meters) alongside your vehicle. The side sensor(s) provide a 15 degree vertical by 15 degree horizontal beam pattern. The side sensor(s) can detect unseen vehicles and ob- jects moving and stationary adjacent to your vehicle. sludge ejector or any six that are specially ordered. Three of the six optional indicators can trigger the warning buzzer. The buzzer feature can be activated at the factory or in the field by setting DIP switches on the control module.
The low air pressure buzzer is an intermittent signal; all other warning buzzers give a constant signal. When the air pressure is low, the buzzer will sound intermittently, regardless of what optional features are selected, how the DIP switches are set, or what other warnings might be on. WARNING The Eaton VORAD EVT–300 Collision Warning System (CWS) is intended solely as an aid for an alert and conscientious professional driver. It is not intended to be used or relied on to operate a vehicle. Use the system in conjunction with rear- view mirrors and other instrumentation to safely operate the vehicle.
Operate this vehicle, equipped with the EVT–300 Collision Warning System, in the same safe manner as if the EVT– 300 Collision Warning System were not present. Additional Features When the ignition switch is turned on and the starter is engaged, all of the LEDs in the lightbar will light up as a check that they are working. When the starter is released, those LEDs not in use will turn off. If the ignition switch is turned on and the engine is not cranked, there will be no warning buzzer for any of the warning features. The warning buzzer is trig- gered by the start circuit if the engine is cranked, re- leasing the start switch turns on the buzzer.
After re- leasing the starter, the oil pressure buzzer sounds during the time engine oil pressure is rising. The EVT–300 Collision Warning System is not a substitute for safe, normal driving procedures, nor will it compensate for any driver impairment, such as drugs, alcohol, or fatigue. The EVT–300 Collision Warning System may pro- vide little or no warning of hazards such as pe- destrians, animals, oncoming vehicles, or cross traffic. Collision Warning System (CWS), Eaton VORAD EVT– 300, Optional Failure to drive safely and use the system prop- erly could result in personal injury and/or death and severe property damage.
The Eaton VORAD EVT–300 is a computerized colli- sion warning system (CWS) that uses front-mounted and side-mounted (optional) radar to continuously monitor vehicles ahead of and alongside your ve- hicle. Driver Display Unit (DDU) NOTE: All system controls are located on the DDU. See Fig. 2.24 . Indicators to inform the driver about the system’s operation are located on both the DDU and the optional side sensor display. The system warns of potentially dangerous situations by means of visual and audible alerts. The system performs in fog, rain, snow, dust, smoke, and dark- ness. To be detected, objects must be within the 2.20
