IMPORTANT
SEEN IRIS 860 sensors can provide collision warning assistance to the operator but do not
replace the need for proper operator training and best practice safe operating procedure.
While IRIS 860 sensors can alert the machine operator to a potential collision, the operator
is always fully responsible for the safe operation of the equipment. IRIS 860 sensors do not
comply with the regulatory standards required for devices which are intended to directly
control vehicle or machine safety functions. Using the sensor accessory port to control a
vehicle or machine function is entirely at your own risk. Detection can never be guaranteed.
IRIS 860 sensors are a CLASS I LASER PRODUCT. Disassembly or modification of this device
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
IRIS 860 sensors and accessories have no user serviceable parts. Opening the enclosure will
void the warranty.

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.

Troubleshooting - Pg. 11
1. Check the sensor voltage
Check the sensor’s maximum voltage rating sticker. It will
either be 24V or 80V.
If the vehicle’s power supply exceeds the maximum voltage
indicated on the sticker, a DC/DC voltage converter must be
used.
2. Wire in the Sensor Power Cable
IMPORTANT. Ensure the vehicle is turned o before
starting work.
The 4-PIN, 4m (13ft) Sensor Power Cable must be connected
to the vehicle’s electrical power supply. The following three
wires must be connected:
BROWN (Power)
The Brown wire must continuously receive DC power
when the vehicle is on. A DC/DC voltage converter may
be needed.
BLACK (Direction signal) DC 3.5-100V 1mA
The Black wire must be connected to the vehicle’s
direction signal (in most cases the reverse signal). The
reverse signal must be continuous (not pulsed) while
the vehicle is in reverse gear. Ensure the voltage on the
Black wire is less than +1V when the direction signal is
not high.
3. BLUE (Ground)
The Blue wire must be connected to the vehicle’s
ground.
Once the Sensor Power Cable is wired to the vehicle, carefully
connect the M12 plug connector to the sensor’s 5-PIN M12
power socket. Finger-tighten only.
80V max

Testing
Related sections
Troubleshooting - Pg. 11
Sensor settings - Pg. 30
Once installed the sensor must be tested to ensure it works
correctly.
SAFETY FIRST. For your safety ensure the vehicle engine
is o and the park-brake is on at all times.
Check the mounting angle
Check that the face of the sensor is angled down correctly,
and that the figure on the alignment sticker is upright.
Test the power supply
Switch the vehicle on. The sensor should have a steady
green LED while the machine is switched on.
Test the reverse signal connection*
Note. If the factory default settings have been changed,
the functionality may dier from that described below.
Test Method:
1. Place a retro-reflective safety vest (or similar) in the
sensor’s detection zone (approximately 2-3 meters
from the sensor). The sensor should not alert.
2. Now, put the vehicle in reverse and repeat the test.
This time the sensor should alert.
When the sensor alerts, the LED will turn red and the
sensor will emit a loud audible tone.
*By default IRIS 860 sensors are factory pre-set so they
can only alert while receiving a direction signal (usually the
reverse signal) from the vehicle. This setting can be changed
using the Sensor Setup App and SEEN’s Bluetooth Dongle.
Related section
How to change the sensor settings - Pg. 31
The sensor LED should be green while
the vehicle is powered on.

Troubleshooting
1. The sensor LED is green, but the sensor will not
alert.
Possible cause: No reverse signal present. By default
sensors are set so they can only alert while receiving a
direction signal (usually reverse) from the machine. Check
the black wire is connected to the vehicle’s reverse signal.
Possible cause: The retro-reflective material is too close
to the sensor. Move further back. Detection starts 0.8m
/2.6ft from the sensor face.
Possible cause: The retro-reflective material is worn out
or is of insuicient size to enable detection.
Related Resources
seensafety.com/resources/reflective-tape-requirements
2. A sensor that is set so that it can only alert during
reverse, will alert when the vehicle is not in reverse.
Possible cause: The reverse signal input wire (black) is
twisted together with the power wire, meaning the reverse
signal is always high. Connect the black wire to the reverse
signal.
Possible cause: Voltage issue on the reverse signal. The
reverse signal input (black) must have no more than +1V
when it not high, and more than 3.5V when it is high.
3. The sensor is correctly wired but the sensor/s do
not behave in the expected way.
Possible cause: An electrical earthing issue on the reverse
signal. Check that the ground reference on the reverse
signal is the same as the ground reference on the sensor
power supply. Also refer to point 7.
4. The sensor repeatedly beeps and flashes with the
sequence long-short-short, long-short-short.
Cause: Blocked window. Clean the windows and the self-
check alert should cease. If the sensor is operating in a
cold-store freezer, ice on the window maybe triggering the
self checking function. Contact SEEN Support.
6. The sensor is beeping and flashing and the
sequence is NOT long-short-short, long-short-
short.
Cause: Internal fault detected. There are no user
serviceable parts. Contact your supplier.

7. Direction signal grounding issue.
Applies to a sensor connected to a direction signal input
(usually reverse). If a DC/DC converter is used refer to
page 33.
Note: In this example the direction signal is REVERSE.
Problem: The sensor is correctly powered and connected
to the reverse signal, but the sensor does not alert even
when the reverse signal is active. The reverse signal and
sensor power supply may not share a common ground.
To check the reverse signal ground:
• Unplug the sensor power cable
• Switch the vehicle ignition ON (preferably without
starting the vehicle for safety)
• Attach a voltmeter across the ignition power pin (+)
and the ground pin (–) of the power cable. The voltage
should be between +10V and +29V. Refer to the plug
diagrams opposite.
• Next, attach the voltmeter across the reverse direction
pin and the ground pin (–). When the vehicle is NOT in
reverse, the voltage should measure between 0V and
+1V. When the vehicle IS in reverse it should measure
between +3V and +100V.
If the vehicle is in reverse and the voltage is not 3-100V
between the ground pin (–) and the reverse direction pin,
there may be a grounding issue.
