ReverseGUARD® is a patented, revolutionary new safety product designed
to reduce accidents while backing by assisting the driver when their
vehicle is in reverse. Four sensors built into the ReverseGUARD®
system use the latest in ultrasonic technology to alert the driver of
objects behind the vehicle.
When the driver puts the vehicle in reverse, ReverseGUARD® is
automatically activated. ReverseGUARD® will sense when objects are
within six to eight feet of the rear of the vehicle and will alert the
driver by emitting an intermittent alarm inside the vehicle. As the
vehicle moves closer to the object, the alarm alerting the driver
sounds more quickly until a steady alarm is heard at a distance of
about 1.5 feet.
The ReverseGUARD® – Standard Frame System, shown here is the original
system, built into a patented license plate frame design, and is easily
installed by replacing an existing license plate frame. The frame can
be mounted with the sensors in an upper or lower orientation.
ReverseGUARD® is manufactured to exacting standards using the best
industrial grade components. This system can accommodate a wide range
of vehicle applications.
The Standard Frame System is offered in a high quality black painted
surface that looks great on all vehicles. It is a highly efficient and
effective driver assist device that relies on an auditory alarm inside
the vehicle to alert drivers of objects/obstacles to the rear of the
backing vehicle.
The ReverseGUARD® system uses four ultrasound sensors built into a
patented license plate frame design. Two sensors are located 5" apart
and are angled to optimize coverage. The other two sensors are located
on each side of the unit. The four sensors combined provide a field of
coverage approximately equal to the width of a standard automobile and
back a distance of 6` to 7` (8 feet maximum) from the unit.
Alarm / Distance from Obstacles
A beeping warning alarm sounds inside the vehicle. The alarm signal
becomes more frequent (rapid) as the vehicle and the object get closer
to each other, such as shown on the following chart. If your system is
equipped with an LED distance display, the display will provide a
numeric distance indicator and a dual color band that depicts relative
distance. You may monitor the color indicator to determine on which
side of the vehicle an object is detected. The indicator will show Red
nearest the back of the car, Yellow in the middle range, and Green at
the outer range.

Available in Full Frame or Half Frame with Extra Longer Sensor Cables for Pickup Trucks.
The half-frame is recommended as an option for states such as Florida,
Massachusetts and Virginia where motor vehicle laws specifically
restrict any device that obstructs a portion of the lettering on the
license plate. The half-frame design includes a special mounting
bracket that is about ½ inch taller than the standard plate. That
allows mounting of the frame above or below the plate so that none of
the lettering on the plate is obscured. As with the full frame, the
half-frame can be mounted with the sensors at the top or bottom on the
plate.
