Brigade Backscan® Reversing Sensor System (12-24v) - BS-4000W
The Brigade Backscan® BS-4000W Reversing Sensor System is a reliable ultrasonic reversing sensor system designed to improve rear awareness and safety on coaches, minibuses, buses and passenger transport vehicles. The system helps drivers detect obstacles behind the vehicle when reversing, providing an additional layer of protection where rear visibility can be restricted.
Using ultrasonic sensing technology, the Backscan® BS-4000W detects objects behind the vehicle and provides the driver with audible distance warnings as the vehicle approaches an obstruction. This makes it particularly useful when reversing into coach bays, bus stations, depots, schools, passenger drop-off areas and other confined spaces.
Large coaches and minibuses can have significant rear blind spots, making it difficult for drivers to accurately judge distances when reversing. The Backscan® system provides an additional audible warning to help drivers identify obstacles and manoeuvre with greater confidence, helping to reduce the risk of low-speed collisions, vehicle damage and incidents involving pedestrians.
Designed for professional vehicle applications, the BS-4000W operates on 12-24V, making it suitable for a wide range of coaches, minibuses and commercial passenger vehicles. Its robust construction is designed to withstand the demands of everyday fleet operation.
