MagicWatch MW150
Zone Description (see fig. 4, page 4)
3
At a distance range of approx. 0.3 m or
less, the MagicWatch switches over to the
high sequence of pulse tones. If this area
is reached, the vehicle should be stopped
in any case.
Otherwise the vehicle or the obstacle can
be damaged.
Within zone 3 it can happen, that obstacles are no longer recog-
nized as they are out of the detection range of the sensors.

Using MagicWatch
MagicWatch is automatically activated by putting the vehicle into reverse, if
the ignition is switched-on or the engine is running.
As soon as an obstacle is detected, a regular repetitive pulse tone sounds.
Driving the vehicle backwards, dependent on the detection zone (see chap-
ter "Testing the Operation" on page 30), the sequence of pulse tones will in-
crease and herewith indicates the actual distance range.
Using the reverse distance sensor for the first time, please take special care
and get familiar with the different sequences of pulse tones.
Caution!
Stop the vehicle immediately if following situation occurs while
manoeuvring:
When manoeuvring backwards, the decreasing distance to an ob-
stacle is indicated by e.g. switching from slow to medium sequence
of pulse tones. Suddenly the unit may jump again into the slow se-
quence of pulse tones or even does not indicate the obstacle any
longer.
This means, that the obstacle is no longer within the detectable
area. In such a case stop the vehicle and check the situation.
