Frontscan Illustration

ULTRASONIC OBJECT DETECTION

Pedestrians, cyclists and other objects can disappear when they enter the blind spot below high cabs. The Brigade Frontscan system provides a clear picture of this blind spot using 4 ultrasonic sensors fitted to the front of the vehicle. An audible warning sounds to warn the driver of the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle.

There are several systems in the range that can be used independently or combined into a comprehensive system.

  •  Backscan
  •  Frontscan
  •  Sidescan
  •  Cornerscan

Ultrasonic Detection

WHITE NOISE REVERSING ALARMS

bbs-tek® multi-frequency reversing alarms use a wide range of White Sound® frequencies. This enables the listener to instantly locate where and what direction the sound is coming from. The broadband sound also gives workers wearing hearing protection devices (HPDs) and people with hearing difficulties a better chance of hearing the alarm.

Heard Only Where it Matters

bbs-tek® White Sound® reverse alarms create a “ssh-ssh” sound which is gentle on the ear and dissipates quickly, meaning the alarm can only be heard in the danger zone.

Backchat® Talking Warning Alarms reproduce real speech with unrivalled quality and clarity. Backchat alarms include a standard message for reversing, handbrake warnings or can even be used as an attack alarm. Single or dual bespoke messages are available, as well as the option for built-in cut-out for night-time use with our Nightshift speaking alarms.

  • Clear spoken messages
  • Warnings for reversing, handbrake alarms
  • Bespoke messages
  • Night-time cut-out

Mounted to the side of the vehicle, the bbs-tek® turn indicator alarm synchronises an audible warning with the vehicle indicator lights when the nearside indicator is activated, informing the cyclist or pedestrian of the vehicle’s intended turn and allowing them to take appropriate action.

  • Visual and audible side turn warning for vulnerable road users
  • Synchronises bbs® sound with the vehicle indicator flash
  • No language barrier from traditional speaking alarms
  • Built-in mute function
