Introduction
IRIS 860 sensor
SEEN IRIS 860 sensors are designed for use on heavy mobile
equipment like forklifts and wheel loaders. The sensor uses
non-visible infrared laser light to detect the presence of retro-
reflective material, such as the reflective tape found on day/
night high visibility PPE and markers. Detection is indicated
by an audible alert.
The detection zone and alert volume can be changed to suit
the operating environment.
Before you start installation
1. Read the installation instructions in full before starting.
2. Ask the customer for their Machine template, which
specifies where the sensor should be installed on the
machine, and how it should be set up.
If the customer doesn’t have a template, please refer to
SEEN’s generic Machine Templates on page 26, which
outline recommended mounting specifications for a
variety of common machine types.
3. Before going on-site, ensure you have an exact plan
of how you will mount the sensor(s) and any custom
mounting attachments, if required.

Check the vehicle’s power supply voltage against the IRIS
860 sensor maximum voltage rating sticker and use a DC/
DC converter if necessary.

4. Check with the customer whether any additional
accessories need to be installed. These may include a
Weather Shield, Cab Box, and IRIS-i camera.
You will need a SEEN Bluetooth Dongle (P/n SI-138)
to apply the sensor settings specified in the Machine
Template.
