OverWatch - User - Session Calibration

The OverWatch™ starts sensing the operator from the time the platform’s dead-man trigger is pressed.

When the machine is powered, and the system is functional, the operator will see a green light on the OverWatch™ sensor.

This indicates that the OverWatch™ is ready for use.

When the operator pushes the joystick dead-man trigger, the system will calibrate to the operator’s current position.

If the calibration is successful, the light will change to blue and an audio announcement of either “Drive” or “Elevate” will be made, depending on the platform’s mode of operation. 

When the operator pushes the joystick dead-man trigger, and if the operator is not detected or is standing too close or too far away from the sensor, the light will change to purple with an audio announcement of “Operator Zone”. If the system is not able to calibrate, the operator must release the joystick dead-man trigger and move into the correct working position.
