Introduction
This Guide provides information to assist with installation and use of the BodyGuard® i-Tag® proximity
detection and warning system.
The document begins with an overview of the system and then describes the wiring connections for
both single sensor and dual sensor systems.
An explanation is given for installation and running the simple configuration utility that enables
changes to the detection zone distances and speaker volume using a Bluetooth connection between
computer BodyGuard® systems.
Overview
The BodyGuard® system improves safety by increasing driver awareness when pedestrians are too
close to the vehicle. The system comprises a Cab Alert unit, Speaker and one or more sensor units.
The Sensor Unit receives information from pedestrian “Tag” devices, process and transfer information
to the Cab Alert unit.
The Cab Alert Unit processes information from all sensors and determines whether a Tag detection
has occurred within the detection zone of any Sensor unit fitted. The Cab Alert unit provides an
Audible alarm (alert followed by human voice notification) as well as visual warning. In addition to the
Alarm functions, the Cab Alert manages installation and removal of sensor units, storage of all
detection and system events and facilitates Bluetooth communication between the Cab Alert unit and
computer.

Wiring
The sensor units connect to the Cab Alert unit by 4-core cable. The standard length cable supplied is
5m per sensor. (Longer length cable available upon request in 5m increments). The 4-core cable has
two shielded-twisted pairs in addition to overall shielding. The recommended maximum cable length
between the Cab Alert unit and a sensor unit is 200m.The 4-core cable is terminated at each end using
M12, Male circular plugs. The cable wiring connection is “straight-through” (Pin 1 at one end connects
to pin one at other end and so forth).
The Power (pins “1”and “2”) should connected to one of the twisted pairs and data signals (pins “2”
and “3”) to the other twisted pair.
Dual sensor systems are supplied with a “Y” splitter cable that enables the 2 sensors to plug into the
one Cab Alert unit connector.
The supplied cable is Alpha Wire 2466C or 1243/2C.

Fitting M12 circular male plugs to 4-core cable
1) Loosen Hexagonal plastic nut at bottom of plug by
rotating ant-clockwise.
2) With rear nut unfastened, hold knurled plastic ring near
metal ring with one hand and turn plastic body of plug anti-
clockwise with other hand.
IMPORTANT: Be careful to ensure correct wiring of plug. The signals are connected to pins as shown
below at BOTH ends of the cable (i.e. Straight-Through connection).
Wire colouring
Pin 1: Red
Pin 2: White
Pin 3: Green
Pin 4: Black
RED/Black = shielded twisted pair
White/Green = shielded twisted pair
3) Use a screwdriver to fasten ends of cable to the
terminals inside the plug head

Power Supply
The system comes with 2m length power cable, fitted with moulded M12 female 4-core cable to
plug into Cab Alert Unit and flying leads at other. The system connects to +12V or +24V DC supply via
2A fuse. Voltage above 24V requires a Voltage Reducer to lower voltage into range 12-24V DC.
The Cab Alert unit receives power from the vehicle electrical system, Sensor units receive power
from the Cab Alert connector.
Power Cable connections
Pin 1: +12V DC Power Supply Input (Brown)
Pin 2: Ignition Sense (White)
Pin 3: Switched output (Blue)
Pin 4: Ground/Earth (Black)
Power Supply wiring Examples
The system operates from the vehicle’s 12V or 24V DC power supply. If the vehicle’s supply voltage is
higher than 24V DC, then a voltage reduce is required. When logging is required, “Ignition Sense”
connects to the ignition switch. When logging is not required, “Ignition Sense” connects to 12V DC
input signal. IMPORTANT: Tag Detection will only occur when the WHITE “Ignition Sense” wire
connects to the supply voltage.
12/24V DC supply, NO logging
