...because you can't always see what is behind you!

THE PRODUCT

The mini3LV Large Vehicle Reverse Aid is a high-tech systems for assisting drivers while they are backing their vehicle. The system digitally display the distance between the nearest obstacle behind your vehicle to within an accuracy of +/- 2 inches. In addition, prominent LED signals warn drivers to specific hazards. The system also have a three zone audio warning indicator that increases in pulse intensity as your vehicle gets closer to the obstacle.

The mini3LV Large Vehicle Reversing Aid consist of three acoustic detectors, a compact IC-based electronic control monitor and an LED display unit.  During operation, ultrasonic signals are generated and detected by the monitoring unit that is controlled by an 8-bit microprocessor. The processor computes the signal-to-object distance between the ultrasonic echo source and the sensors. The computed distance is then outputted to the LED display unit in feet and inches.


MINIATURE ACOUSTIC TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER

www.poronUSA.com - Poron Car Reversing Aid mini3P/LV sensorThe mini 3 series Reversing Aid’s miniature acoustic sensors transmit a uniquely modified "narrow beam" signal. This narrow beam signal is capable of seeing through fog, rain, smog and snow, any weather, day or night, on any road condition. When this signal strikes a solid target "directly" in the path of the host vehicle, it bounces back to the antenna/receiver and is instantly sent to the signal microprocessor. The acoustic sensors have a detection range of up to 8 feet. The slim and thin design of sensors with transparent film leads, coupled with color matching decorative sensor lens ensures ‘out-of-sight’ installation of the sensors on your vehicle..


8-BIT SIGNAL MICRO PROCESSOR

The processor automatically and continuously computes this information. If the processor determines that the existing conditions require the driver to take any precautionary or corrective action, it sends a specific signal to the LED display monitor.


LED DISPLAY MONITOR

www.poronUSA.com - Poron Car Reversing Aid mini3P/LV LED Display UnitThe LED display unit, generally mounted on the vehicle’s rear view mirror, in the direct view of the driver, receive signals from the microprocessor and displays a 3-digit numerical read-out which is synchronized with the motion of your vehicle from 8 feet to the nearest distance of obstacles behind your vehicle. A three zone audio warning signal of modulating pulse intensity will sound along with the numeric display. As the host vehicle gets closer to the obstacle, the numeric display will count down the distance and the audio warning will increase in pulse intensity indicating a collision is imminent and evasive action is required immediately. A "Hit" will display on the LED readout if the distance between your car and the obstacle is less than 8 inches. Other Prominent warning signals that can be displayed during operations are: "InF" – Strong external interference. (Outside signals are interfering with the sensor signals.) "StP" – Detected obstacle falls into non-detecting zone like blind spots. The blind spots behind your vehicles can be minimized with additional sensors. (see the installation manual for more details)


THE INSTALLATION

The mini 3 series Reversing Aid is designed for easy installation. An experienced installer will be able to install the system into any vehicle in about 90 minutes. No drilling is required. Most of the necessary parts and components for the installation are included in the system package.  The mini3P Car Reversing Aid is designed for installation on most types of passenger vehicles.  The mini3LV Large Vehicle Reversing Aid is designed for larger vehicles like minivans, SUV, RV and others.

Step 1:  Install LED display in passenger compartment.  e.g.   Underneath the rearview mirror Step 2:  Install the Sensors.  e.g. Install on rear lights lens. Step 3:  Wire the power unit to the reverse light lamp wire.
