5 Proper Use
MagicWatch is reverse supervisory unit based on ultrasonic. It checks the place behind the vehicle during reversing procedures and warns acoustically against obstacles, which are detected through the device.
MagicWatch provides an assistance when reversing, however, it does not relieve you from your special caution required when reversing.
MagicWatch has been laid out for assembling in passenger cars.
6 Technical description
6.1 Function specification
MagicWatch consists of two ultrasonic sensors, one control unit and one piezo-speaker. The assembling of the piezo-speaker takes place near the hat rack or luggage compartment covering.
The measurement of distance is based upon the echo-transit-time principle. Both sensors continuously emit ultrasonic signal pulses while reversing.
The sensors operate both as transmitters and as receivers, which receive again the beamed and reflected ultrasonic signals from possible obstacles. The distance from the obstacle is evaluated through the transit time of the ultrasonic signals and is indicated by sequence of pulse tones of the piezo-speaker. The closer the obstacle, the faster the sequence of pulse tones.
6.2 Detection range
The detection range of MagicWatch is split into three zones (see fig. 4, page 4).
- Zone 1
This zone is the first limit range: small or badly reflecting objects may not be detected.
- Zone 2
In this zone nearly each obstacle is indicated.
- Zone 3
In this zone nearly each obstacle is indicated, but objects can get into the blind angle of the sensors
Technical description MagicWatch MW150
Situations may occur where MagicWatch does not detect objects or indicate the shortest distance due to the physical structure of the objects.
Please note the following four examples concerning this.
Example 1 (see fig. 5, page 4)
Objects, which from the beginning are not in the detection range of the sensors, cannot be perceived.
Example 2 (see fig. 6, page 4)
In the case of cleaved objects, the shortest distance will not necessarily be indicated. For example A will not be indicated but only B or C.
Example 3 (see fig. 7, page 4)
In the case of diagonal obstacles the shortest distance A will be indicated.
Example 4 (see fig. 8, page 5)
In the illustrated case MagicWatch will indicate the distance A. If the vehicle comes closer to the other one, the sensor signal first goes over to the stop range and then the distance A gets into the blind angle and the device indicates the distance to point B.
Caution!
As shown in these four examples, situations may occur where the device does not indicate an object or not the shortest distance.
The device does not relieve you from your duty to be cautious when reversing. You should always back with extreme care.
If an object gets into the non-controlled area of the sensors, MagicWatch automatically indicates the distance to the next object. This means, the piezo-speaker will then switch over from the high to the medium sequence of pulse tones.
In this case always stop the vehicle immediately and check the situation.
MagicWatch MW150 Assembling MagicWatch
7 Assembling MagicWatch
7.1 Tools required
The following tools are needed for installation:
- set of bits
- electric drill
- screwdrivers
- set of spanners
The following tools are needed for making the electrical connections:
- diode test lamp or voltmeter
- insulating tape
- maybe rubber bushings
Depending on individual circumstances, you may also need other screws, bolts, nuts, washers, metal screws and cable connectors.
7.2 Assembling Sensors
To assure a proper operation it is important to fix the sensors with the correct inclination.
Are the sensors turned to the ground, it indicates the surface of the ground like an obstacle. Are the sensors turned to high, obstacles may not be detected.
Consider the following specifications when assembling:
● The maximum detection distance is approx. 1.2 m.
- To protect the edges of the vehicle (indication lights) please mount the sensors within 0.3 m from the edge.
- The sensors should be mounted aprox. 40 – 50 cm away from the bottom (see fig. 9, page 5).
- The horizontal alignment of the sensors should be 0^ from the centerline (see fig. 9, page 5).
Assembling MagicWatch MagicWatch MW150
- The vertical alignment of the sensors should be 90^ from the cross axis of the vehicle (see fig. 10, page 5).
Assemble as follows:
▶ Please locate the sensor that way it is installed perpendicular to the ground (see fig. 11, page 5).
Note!
The adhesion surfaces must be dry, clean and free of grease.
▶Strip the protective film and glue on the sensors.
7.3 Laying the Sensor Cables
If you lay the cables take care, that the cables
● are not buckled or twisted,
- do not abrase at edges,
● are not laid through sharp edged lead troughs without protection.
Caution!
Before performing any boring or cutouts ensure that no electrical wiring or other parts of the vehicle can be damaged by drilling, cutting and filing.
Protect each opening at the car's shell against intrusion of water, e. g. by using sealing compound for cable and lead through.
▶Laying the sensor cables, use original rubber bungs if possible. In case there are not any available, drill an appropriate hole of ∅ 13 mm and set in a rubber bushing.
Note!
Pass the sensor cable connectors through the bushing before installing them in the car body.
▶Lay the connecting cable of the sensors in the luggage compartment so that they cannot be damaged (e. g. due to impact of stones).
▶Attach the connecting cable meticulously behind the bumper.

7.4 Mounting the Control Unit
Please consider the following instructions for determining the right location:
- Consider the cable length of sensors.
● Luggage or other objects may not damage the control unit.
▶Mount the control unit on a suitable place inside the luggage compartment.
The jack's polarity cannot be reversed: You can plug it onto the connector only in one direction.
▶Connect the jacks of the sensor cables to the connectors of the control unit (see fig. 12, page 6).
7.5 Mounting the speaker on the hat rack
The piezo-speaker should be glued or mounted on a suitable place on the hat rack.
Please consider the following instructions when determining the mounting position:
- Consider the cable length of the speaker.
Take into account, that for cars with big rear flaps the luggage deck will swing up.
● The piezo-speaker must not be covered or damaged by loose parts put on the hat rack.
▶Lay the cable of the speaker to the control unit and plug the jack onto the connector of the control unit (see fig. 13, page 6).
Remove the protective liner from the adhesive tape and glue on the piezo-speaker.
Testing the Operation MagicWatch MW150
7.6 Connecting the Control unit
Caution!
Take care for correct polarity.
For some vehicles the reversing lamp operates only, if switch is on. In this case turn on the ignition for depending the supply and the negative line.
▶ Connect the red wire (see fig. 12 B, page 6) of the control unit onto the supply line (+) of the reversing lamp (see fig. 12 A).
Connect the black wire (see fig. 12 C, page 6) of the control unit onto the negative line (−) or onto earth (car body).
8 Testing the Operation
Test the operation as follows:
▶Switch-on the ignition and put the vehicle into reverse.
The reversing distance sensor MW-150 lacks a visual display, but is equipped with an acoustic signal transmitter only. Therefore be careful when you use it first time and get familiar with the different tone sequences.
| Zone | Description (see fig. 4, page 4) | Affiliated tone sequences |
| 1 | Starting from a distance of approx. 1.2 m, obstacles will be detected and indicated by the piezo-speaker with a slow sequence of pulse tones. | Bi Bi Bi Bi |
| 2 | At a distance range from approx. 0.6 m MagicWatch switches over to medium sequence of pulse tones. | Bi Bi Bi Bi Bi Bi |
MagicWatch MW150 Using MagicWatch
| Zone | Description (see fig. 4, page 4) | Affiliated tone sequences |
| 3 At | a distance range of approx. 0.3 m or less, the MagicWatch switches over to the high sequence of pulse tones. If this area is reached, the vehicle should be stopped in any case.Otherwise the vehicle or the obstacle can be damaged. | Bi Bi Bi Bi Bi Bi Bi Bi Bi |
Within zone 3 it can happen, that obstacles are no longer recognized as they are out of the detection range of the sensors.
9 Using MagicWatch
MagicWatch is automatically activated by putting the vehicle into reverse, if the ignition is switched-on or the engine is running.
As soon as an obstacle is detected, a regular repetitive pulse tone sounds. Driving the vehicle backwards, dependent on the detection zone (see chapter “Testing the Operation” on page 30), the sequence of pulse tones will increase and herewith indicates the actual distance range.
Using the reverse distance sensor for the first time, please take special care and get familiar with the different sequences of pulse tones.
Caution!
Stop the vehicle immediately if following situation occurs while manoeuvring:
When manoeuvring backwards, the decreasing distance to an obstacle is indicated by e.g. switching from slow to medium sequence of pulse tones. Suddenly the unit may jump again into the slow sequence of pulse tones or even does not indicate the obstacle any longer.
This means, that the obstacle is no longer within the detectable area. In such a case stop the vehicle and check the situation.
