Frequently Asked Questions - MagicWatch MWE850 WAECO

What is the maximum range of the MagicWatch MWE850?
The maximum range is approximately 1.5 m from the sensors. The detection zone is divided into three areas: area 1 (green, slow beeps), area 2 (yellow, medium beeps), and area 3 (red, continuous tone).
How to install the sensors in the bumper?
Drill holes of 22.5 mm diameter using the supplied hole saw. The holes should be slightly beveled downward. Insert each sensor by tilting it slightly until it clicks into place. Respect a minimum distance of 40 cm and maximum of 50 cm from the ground.
Can I paint the sensors?
Yes, the sensors can be painted. Waeco recommends having the painting done at a specialized workshop to ensure proper operation. The cardboard packaging of the sensors can be used as protection during painting.
What to do if the device does not work?
Check the electrical connections: the red wire must be connected to the positive line of the reverse light and the black wire to ground. Ensure all plugs (sensors, display, speaker) are correctly inserted into the control unit and that the locking mechanism is engaged.
How to test the system after installation?
Turn on the ignition and engage reverse gear. Place an obstacle about 1 m behind the vehicle. You should hear slow beeps and see the green LEDs light up. As you approach, the beep frequency increases and the LEDs turn yellow then red with a continuous tone at less than 0.3 m.
What does the DSM (Digital Signal Memory) function mean?
The DSM function analyzes the rear space and ignores small fixed objects like tow bars (up to 0.3 m protrusion). Only changes from the stored profile are reported as obstacles. This avoids false alarms.
How to maintain the system?
Regularly clean the sensors with a damp cloth. Never use sharp or hard objects that could damage them. Remove snow, ice, or dirt that could obstruct the sensors.
The device signals a defective sensor, what to do?
If three short beeps sound when engaging reverse gear, place the vehicle 1 m from an obstacle. Engage reverse and stand in front of each sensor. The defective sensor is the one in front of which the beep frequency does not change. Replace it without removing the bumper thanks to the accessible connection plug.
What is the power consumption of the device?
In standby mode, the device consumes 40 mA. When emitting signals (obstacle detected), consumption rises to 250 mA. The supply voltage must be between 11 and 27 V DC.
Are there important safety precautions?
The device is an additional aid and does not relieve you of being careful when reversing. Only reverse at maneuvering speed. If the audible signal changes suddenly (for example, from fast to slow), stop the vehicle immediately and check the situation. Obstacles protruding more than 0.3 m from the rear (such as a bike rack) may not be detected correctly.

MagicWatch MWE850 Safety and installation instructions

When the negative terminal of the battery is disconnected, all volatile memories in the convenience electronics lose the stored data.

● The following data must be set again, depending on vehicle equipment:

- Radio code

- Vehicle clock

- Timer

- On-board computer

- Seat position

You can find instructions for making these settings in the appropriate operating instructions.

Observe the following instructions during installation:

  • Secure the parts of the MWE850 system installed in the vehicle in such a way that they cannot become loose under any circumstances (sudden braking, accidents) and cause injuries to the occupants of the vehicle.
  • To prevent damage, when drilling ensure that there is sufficient room for the drill head to emerge once the hole has been made (see fig. 2, page 4).

Observe the following instructions when working with electrical parts:

- When testing the voltage in electrical cables, only use a diode test lamp (see fig. 1.5, page 3) or a voltmeter (see fig. 1.6, page 3).

Test lamps with an illuminant (see fig. 1.9, page 3) take up voltages which are too high and which can damage the vehicle's electronic system.

- When making electrical connections, ensure that

– They are not kinked or twisted
– They do not rub on edges
- They are not laid in sharp edged ducts without protection (see fig. 3, page 4).

● Insulate all connections.
- Secure the cables against mechanical wear with cable binders or insulating tape, for example to existing cables.

MagicWatch MWE850 Proper use

4 Proper use

MagicWatch MWE850 (item number: MWE-850-4DSM) is an ultrasonic reverse warning system. When reversing, it monitors the space behind the vehicle and provides an audible and visible warning signal for any obstacles it detects.

Since MWE850 is designed merely as an additional aid for reversing, it does not relieve you of the duty to take proper care when reversing.

MWE850 is designed for installation in cars.

5 Technical description

5.1 Functional description

MagicWatch MWE850 consists of four built-in sensors, a display for visual warning signals, and a piezoelectronic speaker for audible warning signals. The piezoelectronc speaker is fitted on the parcel shelf or boot cover. The display can be mounted on the dashboard, on the rear view mirror on the windscreen or on the boot cover.

It measures distances based on the echo time principle. The four sensors constantly emit ultrasonic signals when you reverse.

The sensors contain both transmitters and receivers, and capture any ultrasonic signals reflected by obstacles. The distance to the obstacle is calculated using the echo time, and signalled by the speaker using a sequence of impulse tones. The closer the obstacle approaches, the faster the succession of warning tones.

The DSM (digital signal memory) function creates a space profile during the measurement, which records any small fixed objects (such as trailer couplings). This means these are not signalled as obstacles. The system only signals an obstacle when the space profile changes.

The display signals the position of the obstacle using two LEDs. A numerical display shows the distance in 10 cm increments.

The sensors are installed on the bumper. The sensors may be painted. WAECO recommends having the sensors painted by a specialist workshop.

Since the sensors are equipped with their own amplifiers, you can extend the connection between the sensors and the controller to up to 10 m.

Only use WAECO cables.

Otherwise, proper operation cannot be guaranteed.

Defective sensors can be replaced without removing the bumper. There is a plug connector just behind the sensor for this.

5.2 Detection range

The detection range of MWE850 is divided into three zones (see fig. 5, page 5):

- Zone 1

This zone is the first limit range. Small or objects with poor reflective characteristics are sometimes not detected in this zone.

- Zone 2

Nearly all objects are displayed in this zone.

- Zone 3

Nearly all objects are displayed in this zone, but some objects may come into the blind spot of the sensors.

WAECO MagicWatch MWE850 - - Zone 3 - 1

Situations may arise where MWE850 does not detect objects or fails to signal their distance correctly, due to their physical characteristics.

Note the four following examples.

Example 1 (see fig. 6, page 5)

Objects which do not enter the detection area of the sensors cannot be recorded.

Example 2 (see fig. 7, page 5)

The distance to objects with large gaps in them may not be correctly signalled. In the example, A is not signalled, but only B or C instead.

Example 3 (see fig. 8, page 5)

For diagonal obstacles, the shortest distance A is signalled.

MagicWatch MWE850 Technical description

Example 4 (see fig. 9, page 6)

In this case, MWE850 displays the distance A. As the vehicle approaches the audible indicator goes over to the stop zone, and as it approaches further, the distance A goes into the blind spot, so that MAGIC WATCH signals the distance from point B.

WAECO MagicWatch MWE850 - Example 4 (see fig. 9, page 6) - 1

Caution!

As these four examples show, situations can arise where the device fails to display an object or does not display the shortest distance.

The device does not relieve you of your obligation to take special care when reversing. Therefore, always be extremely careful when reversing.

If an object enters the blind spot of the sensors, MWE850 automatically shows the distance to the next object. This means the piezoelectronic speaker changes from fast to medium beeps and the display shows a different distance.

In this case, always stop the vehicle immediately and check the situation.

The DSM function ensures that objects attached to the vehicle (such as trailer couplings) are not classified as obstacles. As a rule they do not protrude more than 0.3 m over the sensors. They are therefore in the close area (zone 3) of up to 0.3 m, in which MWE850 gives a stop warning and where you should stop (see the “Testing functions” on page 44 section).

WAECO MagicWatch MWE850 - Caution! - 1

Caution!

If loads or objects on the vehicle protrude over the close area of 0.3 m, there is a danger of accidents. An obstacle can collide with the load or the object before it is detected by the sensors in the close area and MWE850 gives a stop warning (see fig. 11, page 6).

6.1 Tools required

For installation and assembly you require the following tools:

● Drill bit set (see fig. 1.1, page 3)
● Drill (see fig. 1.2, page 3)
- Screwdriver (see fig. 1.3, page 3)
● Set of ring or open-ended spanners (see fig. 1.4, page 3)

For making and testing the electrical connection the following tools are required:

● Diode test lamp (see fig. 1.5, page 3) or Voltmeter (see fig. 1.6, page 3)
● Crimping tool (see fig. 1.7, page 3)
● Insulating tape (see fig. 1.8, page 3)
● Cable bushing sleeves, if required

To secure the controller and the cable you may require additional screws and cable binders.

6.2 Fitting the sensors

WAECO MagicWatch MWE850 - Fitting the sensors - 1

The sensors must be correctly aligned for the device to work. If these point to the ground, bumps in the ground may be interpreted as obstacles. If they point too far up, obstacles will not be detected.

Note the following information during installation:

● The maximum range is approximately 1.5 m.
- So that the corners of the vehicle (indicator lights etc.) can be monitored, the sensor should not be fitted more than 0.3 m away from them.
- The distance from the sensors to the ground must be between 40 cm and 50 cm (see fig. 10, page 6).
- The installation location should be as flat as possible so that the cover ring of the sensor is on the bumper.

MagicWatch MWE850 Installing MWE850

The sensor is preset to have a vertical installation angle of approximately +5°. This means that the cover ring is thicker at the bottom.

Note that the sensors must be aligned in a particular direction. The top of the sensor is marked with a ▼ (see fig. 12.1, page 6).

● Fit the sensors at regular intervals along the total width of the vehicle in order to guarantee the optimum monitoring.
● The sensors may be painted. WAECO recommends having the sensors painted by a specialist workshop.

The installation procedure is as follows:

▶Choose an installation location on the bumper which is as perpendicular to the road surface as possible (see fig. 12, page 6).

WAECO MagicWatch MWE850 - MagicWatch MWE850 Installing MWE850 - 1

When fitting the sensors, make sure that the coupling of the supply line can be reached outside the hole. This ensures that if you have to replace the sensors you do not have to take off the bumper (fig. 20, page 9).

- If the sensor cable is not long enough, you can order one-metre extension cables (MWCS-1) as accessories.

WAECO MagicWatch MWE850 - MagicWatch MWE850 Installing MWE850 - 2

Caution!

Before making any drill holes, ensure that no electrical cables or other parts of the vehicle can be damaged by drilling, sawing and filing.

For each sensor, drill a hole in the bumper with a diameter of 22.5 mm (22.5 mm core bit supplied).
For a more accurate fit, slant the drill downwards slightly when drilling the hole on the inside of the bumper. The sensor cover can now be easily inserted at a downward angle.
▶Guide the cables of the sensors through the corresponding hole.
▶Insert each sensor into the corresponding drill hole until it latches into place.

MagicWatch MWE850 Installing MWE850

6.6 Installing the speaker on the boot cover

The piezoelectronic speaker should be glued to or mounted on a suitable place on the boot cover.

Note the following information when selecting the installation location for the piezoelectronic speaker:

  • Note the length of the speaker cable. Note that the boot cover swings upwards on vehicles that have a big tailgate.
  • The piezoelectronic speaker must not be covered or damaged by any objects placed on the boot cover.
  • You can set the volume to either off (Off), low (Lo), or loud (Hi), using the switch on the front of the speaker.

▶Insert the socket of the piezoelectronic speaker into the plug of the extension cable (see fig. 18 A, page 8).

▶Guide the extension cable to the control electronics and insert the socket of the extension cable into the connection on the control electronics (see fig. 18 B, page 8).

▶Remove the protective foil and affix the speaker ...

▶Or attach it using suitable screws.

6.7 Connecting the control electronics

WAECO MagicWatch MWE850 - Connecting the control electronics - 1

Caution!

Make sure the polarity is correct.

WAECO MagicWatch MWE850 - Caution! - 1

On some vehicles, the reversing light only works when the ignition is switched on. In this case, you must switch on the ignition in order to identify the positive and negative wires.

▶Connect the red cable (fig. 19.2, page 8) on the control electronics to the positive wire (+) of the reversing light (fig. 19.1, page 8).
Connect the black cable (fig. 19.3, page 8) to the earth wire (−) of the reversing light or to earth (bodywork).

Testing functions MagicWatch MWE850

7 T e sting functions

Conduct the functional test as follows:

▶Switch on the ignition and engage reverse gear.

Be very careful when you first operate the device, and make sure you get to know the various sequences of beeps.

ZoneDescription (see fig. 5, page 5)Sound sequenceLEDs
1 MWE850 recognises obstacles from a distance of around 1.5 m (measured from the sensor) and signals them with a series of slow beeps from the speaker and by the illumination of the green LED group.Beep Beep BeepGreen
2 From a distance of around 0.95 m (measured from the sensor) MWE850 switches to the green LED group and to the medium beep sequence.Beep Beep Beep BeepYellow
3 Ata distance of around 0.3 m (measured from the sensor) and below, MWE850 switches to the red LED group and the the continuous tone. When you reach this zone, stop the vehicle. Otherwise you might damage the vehicle or the obstacle.Beeeeeep...Red

WAECO MagicWatch MWE850 - T e sting functions - 1

In Zone 3 it can occur that obstacles are not detected, because they are no longer within range of the sensors (depending on design).

The device is equipped with a diagnostic function: If the sensors are defective, you will hear three short beeps when you engage reverse gear.

MagicWatch MWE850 Using MWE850

8 U sing MWE850

MWE850 is activated automatically when you engage reverse gear with the ignition on or the motor running.

As soon as there is an obstacle within the detection range, a repeated signal tone sounds and the green LEDs light up.

As you reverse, the sequence of beeps changes according to the zone you are in, thus indicating the distance (see “Testing functions” chapter on page 44). The display also modifies as the zones change.

Be very careful the first time you use the system, until you are familiar with the various sequences of beeps and the display.

WAECO MagicWatch MWE850 - U sing MWE850 - 1

Caution!

Stop the vehicle immediately and check the situation (getting out if necessary), if the following happens while you are reversing:

The device first shows an obstacle while you reverse, and the beeps speed up as normal (i.e. from slow to medium). Suddenly the beeps become slow again or no obstacle at all is shown.

This means that the original obstacle is in the blind spot of the sensors (depending on the design), and you might hit it.

WAECO MagicWatch MWE850 - Caution! - 1

Caution!

If loads or objects on the vehicle (e.g. bicycle racks) protrude over the close area of 0.3 m, there is a danger of accidents. An obstacle can collide with the load or the object before it is detected by the sensors in the close area and MWE850 gives a stop warning (see fig. 11, page 6).

9 Maintaining and cleaning MWE850

WAECO MagicWatch MWE850 - Maintaining and cleaning MWE850 - 1

Caution!

Do not use sharp or hard objects to clean the device as these may damage the sensors.

▶Clean the sensors with a damp cloth from time to time.

Searching for errors MagicWatch MWE850

10 Searching for errors

The device indicates no function.

The cables to the reversing light are not connected or are switched.

The plug for the display is not connected or is not properly plugged into the control electronics.

The plugs for the sensors are not connected or are not properly plugged into the control electronics.

▶Check the plugs, and plug them in so that they latch in place.

A defective sensor is indicated (three beeps when you engage reverse gear)

If a defective sensor is indicated (see “Testing functions” chapter on page 44), this is what to do:

▶Park the vehicle about a metre away from a large obstacle, such as a garage door.
▶Engage reverse gear.
√The slow beeps sound (Zone 1, see fig. 5, page 5) and the green LEDs of the intact sensors light up.
▶Then stand in front of each sensor in succession.
√ The beeps speed up. The beeps do not change on the defective sensor.
