Proximity Warning Alert System (PWAS)
Why ZEN PWAS for Commercial Vehicles and Machines?
Industries such as mining, quarrying and construction use machines and plant equipment, which by their very nature pose a danger if they are not managed safely. Blind spots tend to be much larger on these vehicles and include not only the rear and nearside but also the front, especially with elevated driver positions. Terrains are harsh, vehicles are exposed to the elements more aggressively whilst thick dust and darkness decrease visibility further.
In order to enable proper, effective and safe operation the operator must be able to ‘detect the presence of a standing person (of approximately. 1.5m tall), 1m out from the perimeter of the machine.’ Camera monitor systems provide this to some extent, but in difficult conditions a range of complementary devices are vital to give visual and audible operator warnings.

Spread and length of the beam can be set to the width of your vehicle or beyond. 3 pre-set models available
IP-69K Rated
IP-69K rated radar sensor
Accurate Detection
Accurate detection distance of up to 30 metres
Designed to Accurately Detect People and Objects in Construction sites :
ZEN heavy-duty radar proximity sensor systems are designed to detect people and objects in Construction sites, significantly reducing accidents. They detect stationary and moving objects, providing the driver with in-cab visual and audible warnings – alerting the operator whose attention cannot be focused on all danger areas. ZEN obstacle detection sensors work effectively in all construction environments and in poor visibility including darkness, smoke and dust.
ZEN Radar sensors are available in fixed detection range models and fully programmable models allowing users to calibrate according to their environment standards
Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave Technology :
ZEN radar sensor uses Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology, transmitting a continuously varying radar frequency signal with unique time stamps to each instance of the wave. The time of the returning wave is referenced to the stamp without the radar needing to pause transmitting. This gives more accurate detection than alternative radar products using Pulsed Radar technology that transmit a burst of radar and then listen for the returning wave.
