5Component DescriptionEVT-300 ComponentsThe Eaton VORAD EVT-300 Collision Warning System is comprised of fourmain components: the Antenna Assembly, Central Processing Unit, DriverDisplay Unit, and the Interconnecting Harness. Two components, the SideSensor and Side Sensor Display, are optional. Each of the components areshown in their approximate location on a vehicle (see Figure 1 below), andtheir functions are described in the following paragraphs.Antenna AssemblyThe Antenna Assembly located on the front of the vehicle, transmits andreceives low power, high frequency radar signals. The transmitted radar sig-nals are reflected off objects in front of the vehicle and are received back at theAntenna Assembly. The Antenna Assembly compares the difference betweenthe transmitted and received signals, converts this information into a digitalformat, and transmits it to the Central Processing Unit (see page 6) for addi-tional processing. The Antenna Assembly is usually mounted in the center ofthe bumper. This mounting location ensures that the radar beam is aimeddirectly in front of the vehicle. The Antenna Assembly will simultaneouslymonitor up to 20 objects within a 350 feet (106 m) range, whether moving orstationary.Figure 1CentralProcessing UnitAntennaAssemblySide SensorDisplaySideSensorDriverDisplay UnitP2P2
