  • Environmental Durability: 
    Enclosed in a die-cast aluminium body with impact-resistant plastic and silicone waterproof seals, achieving an IP66 rating for protection against high-pressure water and dust ingress.

Operator Alerts and Notifications

  • Visual Indication: When a pedestrian enters a detection zone, the monitor displays an on-screen bounding-box overlay around the detected person.
  • Audible Warnings: Emits customisable audible alarms or spoken voice notifications from the built-in speaker.
  • Multi-Staged Zone Escalation: When using multi-staged zones, the frequency of the audible alert increases relative to the pedestrian's distance from the machine.

Security and Tamper Prevention

  • System Lockout: To prevent unauthorised access to volume, system settings, and menus, the monitor is secured with an 8-character alpha-numeric password.
  • Auto-Lock: The monitor will automatically lock after 30 seconds of inactivity to maintain configuration integrity.

Installation and Usage

Mounting Guidelines

  1. Position the LCD monitor in the direct line-of-sight of the machine operator, ensuring it can be easily seen and heard without obstructing the operational view.
  2. Utilise the supplied U-Bracket for secure top or bottom mounting to any flat surface, or use the T-slot at the rear to attach an optional Ball Joint Bracket for pole or frame mounting.
  3. Route the 27-PIN extension harness from the camera(s) into the cabin, plug it into the monitor, and connect to the machine's 10V-32V DC power supply.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

The monitor screen is completely blank during normal operation. 

Verify if the monitor has been configured to Stand-By Mode. In this mode, the display remains off until a pedestrian detection event occurs or an external trigger (such as the machine shifting into reverse) activates the screen. Ensure the power supply is stable between 10V-32V DC.

I am locked out of the monitor and cannot access the settings. 

The system requires an 8-character alpha-numeric password to unlock the settings menu. This password is provided on the inside flap of the original packaging. For security, do not leave this password inside the machine. If the password is lost, please contact your Authorised Proxicam Distributor for assistance.

The rear camera view does not automatically display when reversing. 

Ensure the Reverse Trigger Input (AUX wire) on the 27-PIN harness is properly connected to a positive 12V/24V reverse signal from the machine. Check the Triggers menu to verify that the Rear Display priority is correctly configured.
