The Lookout TM consists of ultrasonic sensors that can be placed anywhere on a truck, trailer, or van, along with an LED display unit mounted within the cab. Adaptable, Easy, Durable, Effective This system is adaptable, and is intended for use on any size truck or van, from delivery vans to tractor-trailers. The control unit can handle up to 10 sensors with quick-connect coupling that allows them to remain with the trailer and the control unit with the tractor, a boon to fleet operations. Lookout TM not only aids the driver in backing and changing lanes, but, when activated, also has an internal security alarm feature that alerts the driver when something or someone approaches the truck when it is standing still. System packages include everything needed to install the units, from wiring harnesses and junction boxes to cable ties.
Most components simply plug together.
Very little training of drivers is required. The display brightness automatically adjusts for ambient light and is viewable in direct sunlight. In normal blind-spot mode, when an object is within 8 feet of one of the sensors, the corresponding area is lit up on the display unit's truck outline. An audio alarm beeps more rapidly as the distance closes. The alarm mode can be used when the truck is parked, with the audio alarm sounding when anything comes within 3 feet of a sensor.
