SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
The device must be operated by appropriately trained and qualified personnel.
Before installing and operating the device, please read and understand this manual carefully
to avoid damaging the product and putting your own safety at risk.
The technical information in this document is provided for information purposes only and
does not constitute a contractual commitment. Kiwitron s.r.l. reserves the right to make any
graphic or functional changes to devices and/or software without prior notice.
The KiwiEye device CANNOT replace the safety devices of the vehicle on which it is installed.
The KiwiEye device MUST be installed in compliance with general safety regulations.
It is forbidden to install the KiwiEye device to inhibit or alter the operation of the safety
systems already present on the vehicle.
It is forbidden to use the system to operate power contactors, as opening them during
current circulation would cause an electric arc.
WARN THE OPERATOR of the vehicle before carrying out any remote operation (web cloud or
remote connection via PC) to prevent dangerous situations.
The management of blocking (or slowing down) MUST observe the safety of the vehicle and
operators. Blocking a vehicle MUST NOT create potential dangerous situations.
Do not use the device in the presence of flammable gases or fumes, in the vicinity of filling
stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or during blasting operations.
Avoid any potentially explosive atmosphere.
To protect the health of operators, place the device at a distance of at least half a metre from
the driver's seat to limit exposure to electromagnetic waves emitted by wireless devices.
It is forbidden to place the device near sources of strong heat or exposed to the weather.
It is forbidden to install the devices in positions which restrict the driver's view or which may
hinder his/her movements.
Avoid placing the device with metal parts covering its external WiFi/Bluetooth antenna, which
could lead to malfunctioning of wireless devices.
It is strictly forbidden to drill fixing holes in vehicle structures in order to install the device.
Only use brackets or fastening systems that do not compromise the structure of the vehicle
and that are provided for and authorised by the manufacturer.

Warnings on the emission of radio waves
The device receives and emits radio waves.
The maximum power radiated by the device is below the thresholds imposed by
regulations.
Interference may be generated if used in the vicinity of equipment such as TVs, radios,
computers or any unshielded electrical and/or electronic equipment.
Observe the restrictions imposed on the use of electronic devices if the vehicle on which
the device is installed is used:
● In hospitals or other health facilities.
● Near an airport.
In all areas where there are restrictions imposed due to the use of electronic devices.
Intended use
The KiwiEye device is designed for use only on self-propelled industrial trucks or industrial vehicles
with electric, endothermic or hybrid drive, and earth-moving and agricultural machinery that comply
with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
Prohibited use
Any use of the KiwiEye device not expressly described in this manual is not permitted.
And in particular:
It is not permitted to install KiwiEye on vehicles that can travel on public roads.
On bogies crossing tracks unless a self-holding device is already fitted on the starting consent.
KiwiEye and its accessories and additional sensors are not driver assistance tools or
autonomous driving devices.
KiwiEye is not an explosion-proof device.
KiwiEye and its accessories and additional sensors are not safety devices as they are not
covered by Annex IV of Directive 2006/42/EC and therefore cannot be used for residual risk
reduction.
KiwiEye may not be installed on vehicles with two or more axles powered by an electric,
endothermic engine such as cars, trucks, mopeds, motorbikes, and operating machinery
licensed for public use.

Risk assessment
It is the obligation of the operator (owner of the vehicle) to carry out an environmental risk analysis
prior to installation.
During the installation phase, it is imperative to ensure that any
malfunctioning of the device does not compromise either the safety or the
productivity of the operators and the plant.
It is essential to assess the situation should the device malfunction.
It is possible that the vehicle is not activated following a correct login, or
that the slowdown is activated without a collision having occurred.
Exclusion of liability
Kiwitron s.r.l. disclaims any liability for damage caused by:
● Misuse of the device.
● Use by unqualified and/or trained personnel.
● Incorrect installation.
● Power supply defects.
● Improper maintenance.
● Tampering.
● Incorrect manoeuvres.
● Use of non-original spare parts.
● Use of accessories not provided for or not authorised in writing.
● Total or partial failure to comply with instructions.
● Exceptional events.
● Not in accordance with the regulations and legislation currently in force in the country of
installation.
Kiwitron s.r.l. disclaims any liability in the event the Kiwi-Safe device is
installed on vehicles that are also authorised to drive on public roads.
In this case, it is the responsibility of the operator to decide to install and
use the system on the vehicle.
In this case, it is ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY to disable the immobiliser
(vehicle blocking) and deceleration function in the event of a collision, in
order to avoid creating situations of hindrance or danger (e.g., blocking the
vehicle when crossing railway tracks).

Tab.4 - Glossary
Device description
KiwiEye is an artificial intelligence-based device for detecting obstacles and measuring the distance
between them and the device itself.
An obstacle is identified and classified according to the image data captured by the device's optics.
The distance is measured using the front optical unit.
The device is installed on trucks and industrial vehicles with drivers on board and/or land or driverless
vehicles such as:
● Front-lifting forklift trucks powered by electricity or heat engines.
● Elevators with covering forks, retractable, with forks between the stringers.
● Electric company vehicles (caddy, motor scooters, toy trains, etc.)
● Agricultural and earthmoving equipment.
The device is supplied complete with wiring and a mounting bracket.

Device functionality
KiwiEye is a safety mitigation device for industrial vehicles to increase safety in mixed workplaces with
people and vehicles.
KiwiEye is a device designed to be integrated into Kiwitron systems (such as ETS and Kiwi Safe).
KiwiEye provides information on detected objects via CANOpen or LAN over cable, and is equipped
with the functions shown in Table 5 .
● CANOpen connection for integration into third-party systems (video feed excluded).
● LAN connection for integration into third-party systems (including video feed).
● WiFi connection for integrating the video feed into third-party systems.
As it is a highly customisable device with regard to configurations and functionalities,
there may be functions or accessories present on KiwiEye systems that are not currently
included in this version of the manual.
In particular, KiwiEye performs the following functions:
Function
Description

Operating principle
The device is installed on the vehicle via a bracket and is connected to a power source.
It is necessary to position the camera on the vehicle in relation to the area to be protected.
Internal operation of the device:
● KiwiEye uses an artificial intelligence algorithm and, specifically, a neural network that can
detect and locate obstacles via the live video stream;
● Once a person has been identified, the distance data is extracted from the camera;
● The results of the neural network and distance detection are made available via CANOpen or
Ethernet.
When is an obstacle detected?
● An obstacle is detected by the device if it is present in the video stream.
● The device is able to detect people, even those with their backs turned or bent over.
● The device is capable of detecting most forklifts.
● The device is able to detect and read ArUco codes.
When is an obstacle NOT detected?
● An obstacle is not detected if it is not present in the video stream.
● An obstacle is not detected if it is not recognisable in its class (e.g., 'human being', 'forklift',
'sign', etc.) or if the detection reliability rate is below the set threshold.
