MagicWatch MWE900 (item no. MWE-900-4PPS) is an ultrasonic parking
aid. When reversing, it monitors the space behind the vehicle and provides
an audible and visible warning signal for any obstacles it detects.
Since the parking aid is designed merely as an additional aid for reversing, it
does not relieve you of the obligation to take proper care when revers-
ing.
Magic Watch is designed for installation in cars and caravans.

Technical description

5.1 Function description
The parking aid consists of four sensors, an electronic controller and a
loudspeaker for acoustic signals with a built-in warning LED.
You can adjust the stop zone. The distance at which the parking aid indicates
"stop" can be adjusted variably from 30 to 70 cm.
In addition to this, you can suppress the indication of small, solid objects.
The measurement of distances is based on the echo time principle. The four
sensors constantly emit ultrasonic signals when you reverse.
The sensors contain both transmitters and receivers, and capture any ultra-
sonic signals reflected by obstacles. The distance to the obstacle is calculat-
ed using the echo time, and indicated using a sequence of impulse tones.
The closer the obstacle approaches, the faster the succession of warning
tones.
The sensors are installed on the rear bumper. It is possible to paint the sen-
sors, but not with a multicoat paint, as this impairs the functionality of the
sensors.
