Limitations of Collision Warning Systems

The Eaton VORAD EVT-300 Collision Warning System is intended solely as an

aid for an alert and conscientious professional driver. It is not to be used or

relied upon to operate a vehicle. The system should be used in conjunction

with rear view mirrors and other instrumentation to maintain safe operation. A

vehicle equipped with the EVT-300 Collision Warning System should be oper-

ated in the same safe manner as if the EVT-300 Collision Warning System

were not installed. The system is not a substitute for normal safe driving pro-

cedures. It will not compensate for any driver impairment, such as drugs,

alcohol, or fatigue.

The Eaton VORAD EVT-300 Collision Warning System may provide little or no

warning for some hazards, such as pedestrians, animals, oncoming vehicles,

and cross traffic.

WARNING: The system will not sense objects if the sensor view

is obstructed. Therefore, do not place objects in front of the sys-

tem sensors. Remove heavy buildups of mud, dirt, ice, and other

materials.

WARNING: Properalignment is critical to correct operation of the

system.

WARNING: Be sure the vehicle is not moving during the initial

self-test at vehicle’s start-up. Otherwise, the system may not

operate properly.

Overview

VORAD EVT-300 Overview

The Eaton VORAD EVT-300 Collision Warning System is a sophisticated, com-

puterized device that uses forward-looking radar and optional side-looking

radar to constantly monitor vehicles ahead and in the blind spot area, respec-

tivily.

The Collision Warning System uses transmitted and received radar signals to

determine the distance and relative speed between the vehicle and objects in

front. This information is used to warn the driver of potentially dangerous sit-

uations through visual and audible alerts. The system can perform in adverse

conditions, but objects must be within the field of view of the radar beam and

must provide a surface that can reflect the radar beam back for detection.

The optional Side Sensor is a radar transmitter and receiver mounted on the

side of the vehicle to detect objects from two (2) to ten (10) feet (.6 - 3 m)

from the side of the vehicle. The Side Sensor can detect vehicles or objects

unseen by the driver, moving or stationary, provided the vehicle or object is

moving adjacent to the vehicle.

The EVT-300 also has the ability to operate in a mode called “SmartCruise”.

SmartCruise is an optional feature requiring installation by the Original Equip-

ment Manufacturer (OEM). This feature is offered as a convenience to the

driver in conjunction with the standard vehicle cruise control.

WARNING: This system does not work under all conditions and

can be deceived under certain weather types. The driver must

stay alert at all times to avoid an accident.

Component Description

EVT-300 Components

The Eaton VORAD EVT-300 Collision Warning System is comprised of four

main components: the Antenna Assembly, Central Processing Unit, Driver

Display Unit, and the Interconnecting Harness. Two components, the Side

Sensor and Side Sensor Display, are optional. Each of the components are

shown in their approximate location on a vehicle (see Figure 1 below), and

their functions are described in the following paragraphs.

Antenna Assembly

The Antenna Assembly located on the front of the vehicle, transmits and

receives low power, high frequency radar signals. The transmitted radar sig-

nals are reflected off objects in front of the vehicle and are received back at the

Antenna Assembly. The Antenna Assembly compares the difference between

the transmitted and received signals, converts this information into a digital

format, and transmits it to the Central Processing Unit (see page 6) for addi-

tional processing. The Antenna Assembly is usually mounted in the center of

the bumper. This mounting location ensures that the radar beam is aimed

directly in front of the vehicle. The Antenna Assembly will simultaneously

monitor up to 20 objects within a 350 feet (106 m) range, whether moving or

stationary.

Component Description

Central Processing Unit

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the electronic control unit for the EVT-

300 Collision Warning System. The CPU and Antenna Assembly are program-

mable though a slot located in the opposite end from the cable connection on

the CPU (system parameters can be set with a Prolink Diagnostic Tool or Ser-

viceRanger). The CPU compiles information from the Antenna Assembly,

Engine Control Unit, Speedometer, optional Side Sensor (see page 7), Brake,

and Turn Signal Circuits to produce audible and visual warnings.

The CPU can be located in a variety of places, depending upon the orientation

of the CPU inside the vehicle in which it is installed. Typical locations are on

the vehicle firewall, underneath the dashboard, or behind the driver’s seat.

Driver Display Unit

The Driver Display Unit contains controls and indicators related to system

operation.TheDriver DisplayUnitcontrolssystempower-up,speakervolume,

range for vehicle warnings, and headway thresholds for SmartCruise. A slot is

also provided at the front bottom edge of the Driver Display Unit to insert the

optional Driver Identification Card (see page 15). Driver Display Unit indicator

lights come on to indicate system power, system failure, absence ofthe Driver

Identification Card, SmartCruise enabled, and multiple stages of warning lev-

els.

A light sensor in the face of the Driver Display Unit adjusts indicator bright-

ness with changes in ambient light. The Driver Display Unit also contains a

small speaker that provides audible alert tones. The alert tones are sounded

when the vehicle is closing on an object, or if an object is detected by the Side

Sensor and the turn signal is activated for a lane change. Additionally, the

speaker provides informational tones such as volume level, system failures,

and the Driver Identification Card related tones.

The Driver Display Unit mounts on top of, or is recessed in, the dashboard in

an area that is easily visible and accessible to the driver.

In certain applications there may not be a Driver Display Unit installed. The

information that is normally displayed on the Driver Display Unit may be

included on an OEM installed integrated dashboard display. Consult your OEM

literature for these integrated systems for proper operation.

Component Description

Side Sensor (Optional)

The Side Sensor is also a radar device that senses objects from two (2) to ten

(10) feet (.6 - 3 m) from the side of the vehicle in a blind spot area on either

side of the vehicle. This information is provided to the Central Processing Unit

for processing, lighting of appropriate indicator lamps, and sounding of

appropriate alarms. Side sensors are generally mounted on the right side of

the vehicle, at or near a blind spot area (see figure 2). The vehicle can be con-

figured to have a Side Sensor on each side, left or right, or have two sensors

located on the same side.

Side Sensor Display (Optional)

The Side Sensor Display contains red and yellow indicator lights that indicate

whether or not the Side Sensor is detecting an object. The yellow indicator

light is on when there is no object within the Side Sensor detection zone.

When the Side Sensor detects an object, the red indicator light illuminates and

the yellow indicator lights goes off. The red light also illuminates when the

Side Sensor has failed. The red and yellow lights may illuminate together dur-

ing system start-up, and in certain heavy rain conditions. The Side Sensor

may not be able to detect in heavy rain. A light sensor in the Side Sensor dis-

play adjusts indicator brightness with changes in ambient light.

The Side Sensor Display is generally mounted to the right side A-pillar (See

figure 2) on the inside of the vehicle, easy visible by the driver, and usually

along the same line of sight as the side mirror.
