Safety information
Observe the following safety instructions for interventions in the braking system:
Observe the specifications of the vehicle manufacturer.
Deactivation when the supply pressure is too low: Switch the system off if
the vehicle's supply pressure is too low.
Only intervene with the braking system if you have sufficient knowledge of
the braking system and know and can take responsibility for the effect of
your actions and all their consequences.
The braking system is under pressure. Before intervening with the braking
system, make sure all reservoirs and lines are pressureless.
With braking interventions via separately installed valves, the front axle
must not be braked. Make sure that the vehicle's front axle can NOT be
braked by the system. Braking intervention must only occur via the rear
axle(s).
To avoid any accidents, observe the following safety instructions for operating the vehicle and as
information for the driver:
9
Safety information
To avoid any accidents, observe the following safety instructions for vehicles with braking intervention
through TailGUARD:
Because the stopping distance becomes longer with heavily laden vehicles
- in particular when it is equipped with EBS - the settings (parameter
setting / pressure limiting valve) must enable sufficient deceleration for the
fully laden vehicle.
Note pulsed braking when reversing too fast:
TailGUARD can assist only with reversing speeds below max. 9 km/h.
TailGUARD will trigger short brake pulses when a critical speed is
reached to alert the driver.
If the driver accelerates further, TailGUARD deactivates itself and
outputs a fault message.
In the case of EBS vehicles with brake intervention via separately
installed valves, ABS functions are not available during TailGUARD
braking. Even at the low speed range at which TailGUARD is active, the
wheels might lock on slippery surfaces.
Speed signal faults due to incorrect or unprofessional connection can
significantly impair vehicle safety.
Vehicles with a prepared interface for TailGUARD: TailGUARD may not
brake if the vehicle’s EBS system has a fault.

Safety information

Introduction
3 Introduction
TailGUARD reduces risk when reversing by detecting stationary and moving
objects in the blind spot behind the vehicle and independently stopping the
vehicle at a safe distance from the object.
TailGUARD reduces stress for the driver while reversing and helps to avoid
collisions with pedestrians, loading ramps, barriers, trees, forklifts, cars and
other objects behind the vehicle.
TailGUARD is activated automatically when the reverse gear is engaged.
TailGUARD stops the vehicle automatically if it approaches an object within a
configurable distance between 50 and 200 cm.
After TailGUARD has braked the vehicle, the driver can start slowly reversing
again in order to continue rearward movement towards a ramp, after stopping
for example.
12
Vehicle requirements
4 Vehicle requirements
Any commercial vehicle with a 24 V supply voltage can be equipped.
Commercial vehicles with 12 V can be equipped if a permanent supply voltage
of more than 11.5 V is ensured.
TailGUARD is approved for application in vehicles of classes M3, N2 and N3
with compressed air systems in accordance with regulations in
71/320/EEC or ECE-R13.
The extension for implementing autonomous braking can be applied as follows:
Software version from EX010314 (as of 15/ 2014)
Conventionally braked vehicles with or without ABS, but not vehicles with an
electronic braking system (EBS).
The braking system must be equipped with an ALS system according to
regulations mentioned above.
Software version from EX010405 (as of 41/ 2015)
Additional vehicles with an electronic braking system (EBS) from WABCO up
to EBS3.
Software version from EX010453
Additional braking via the EBS system in the towing vehicle (via TailGUARD
interface): Daimler Econic Euro 6, optional extra
Input for control of the towing vehicle brake via digital signal
Ignoring the control signal of the towing vehicle brake at > 15 km/h
through the towing vehicle
Provision of a feedback status signal that brake control is executed by the
towing vehicle
Warning lamp for indicating a fault
13
System and function
! This signal must only be used to trigger vehicle functions that prevent
acceleration of the vehicle. The signal must not be used to trigger a brake
intervention.
At speeds above 9 km/h the deceleration defined for TailGUARD may not
suffice to stop the vehicle within the configured stopping distance.
If the vehicle moves backward at 9 km/h or more, TailGUARD triggers short
brake pulses to notify the driver of the excessive speed. TailGUARD here
regulates the speed down to 7 km/h. If these warning brake actions are ignored
and the speed continues to increase, the system is switched off at 12 km/h.
Following an autonomous braking procedure, the driver can start driving again
and continue to reverse.
14
System and function
The ultrasonic sensors transmit ultrasonic waves to the area behind the vehicle.
If an object or a person reflects these sonic waves, the ultrasonic sensors
receive an echo. The distance to the object is calculated from the time the
ultrasonic waves take from transmission to reception of the echo.
The distance to detected objects is indicated by means of LED bars in the
driver's cabin. Alternatively, the distance can be indicated by a flashing
frequency of the rear outline marker lamps or an additional lamp in the
instrument panel.
TailGUARD can support up to 6 sensors. Each ultrasonic sensor monitors an
area that is similar in shape to a flattened club. By arranging the ultrasonic
sensors on the vehicle accordingly, objects near the roof area or the ground, for
example, can also be identified.
All ultrasonic sensors are connected to one input on the electronic control unit
as a LIN (Local Interconnect Network), which connects all ultrasonic sensors as
a tree structure.
Each ultrasonic sensor is assigned its own LIN address so that its data can be
evaluated separately within this network.
The maximum permitted cable length between ECU and the last ultrasonic
sensor is 40 m.

System and function
Several vehicles from Daimler do not require an intervention into the pneumatic
braking system. In addition, functional data such as speed, driving direction
and distance to an object are electronically exchanged. With these vehicles
the Electronic Extension Module is connected to the prepared interface for
TailGUARD at the underside of the vehicle by three cables.
This vehicle configuration also does not require use of the Trailer Remote
Control, because the system’s readiness for operation and the distance
information is displayed via the instrument panel.

Installation
7 Installation
All system components – except Trailer Remote Control – can be installed
outside on the vehicle frame.
Note the respectively permissible installation position of the components in
accordance with the outline drawings.
Mount the Electronic Extension Module vertically only, with the cable
openings facing the bottom or the side.
Fasten the connector housing of the 8-pin plug-in connector with cable
ties on the respective bracket catch.
25
Installation
Once the cable has been installed, mount the cover again.
Make sure that all catches are firmly in place.
The open side must face in the direction of the 4-pin slots.
Open the yellow slider for the lock before you plug the cable end connectors
into the respective slot on the ECU frame.
If the slider is in the locked end position (condition at delivery), you can use
a size 13 open-end spanner to release the notch from either the top or from
below.
Then pull out the slider up to the cover end stop by hand in order to permit
access to the connector guide.
Insert the cable end (or dummy cap) perpendicularly into the corresponding
slot of the ECU.
Ensure that the correct polarity and coding (connector to slot) is adhered to.
They can only be inserted if the two parts match.
The black dummy caps for the 4- and 8-pin slots are not coded and match
the respective slot.
Press the cable end into the slot with a little initial force and push the locking
slider back to its initial position. In this procedure, the hook of the slider
latches in the ECU frame. The correct latching of the slider is confirmed by
an audible "click" sound.
26
Installation
The position and number of ultrasonic sensors are determined by the area to
be monitored and the contour of the rear of the vehicle.
The TailGUARD system can monitor a maximum of 6 ultrasonic sensors.
Normally 15° ultrasonic sensors are used at the vehicle sides as the most
important position. These ultrasonic sensors are mounted on a vertical
surface of the rear and monitor an area between the vehicle's outside
edge at the side and the centre of the vehicle through the 15° bend in the
housing. When reversing in a narrow alley, only the area behind the vehicle
is monitored in this manner, vehicles parking next to the lane for instance,
are not.
A third ultrasonic sensor with a straight housing (0°) can be positioned at the
centre to improve monitoring of this vehicle section.
The figure below, showing only one of many possible ultrasonic sensor
positions, illustrates this. The yellow areas represent an example of the area
monitored by the ultrasonic sensors.

Installation
! After installation, check the system for correct function and leaks.
Stop light fault monitoring: If a fault monitoring system is installed for the stop
light, it may need to be adjusted. If the stop lights are monitored for faults: Fault
monitoring must only be active while the pedal is operated by the driver and
LED stop lights must not be installed. If necessary, the stop light fault monitoring
of the vehicle must be deactivated.

Start-up
8 Start-up
Start-up requires assembly of the components on the vehicle, connection of the
diagnostic computer, supplying the system with power and starting the TEBS E
Diagnostic Software.
8.1 Training
TEBS E system training is necessary to create a new parameter set. Only after
receiving the PIN 1 are you authorised to make changes to a parameter set
using the TEBS E Diagnostic Software.
A parameter set that has been prepared in advance for parameter setting will be
sufficient in most cases and will simplify the start-up procedure considerably.
Prepared parameter sets can be requested from your WABCO partner.
Start-up using an already prepared parameter set requires PIN 2, which can be
obtained by means of a successfully completed WABCO E-Learning course.

Start-up
Ö Now the next ultrasonic sensor that needs to be covered flashes on the
diagnosis monitor.
Ö The procedure is repeated until the last ultrasonic sensor was detected.
– Follow the instructions on the monitor.
2. Reflection test
After the ultrasonic sensors are learned, a test is performed to determine
whether reflections occur and the ultrasonic sensors incorrectly detect objects
installed on the vehicle as obstructions.
For this test, an area of 2.5 m behind the vehicle and 0.5 m to the side of the
vehicle must be kept clear.
If the system now incorrectly detects an object, press the button
Mask reflections to mask these reflections.
Another measurement is then made to determine whether reflections of other
objects have to be masked.
If objects are still detected, the ultrasonic sensors or attachment parts must be
positioned differently.
37
Start-up
Fine adjustments
The fine adjustment can be implemented within the range from 90 % to 130 %.
This may be necessary if the selected sensor sensitivity must be adjusted a
little. This chiefly concerns vehicles with complex rear body structures.
Sensor sensitivity
The following settings are possible in the area Sensor sensitivity:
Sensitive: High detection capability in close proximity (as delivered).
Recommended sensor sensitivity for the upper sensor level with
TailGUARDMAX and for TailGUARD with low sensor spacing ( < 1.5 m).
Standard: The ultrasonic sensor sensitivity is reduced a little at close range
to mask out objects that are permanently attached to the trailer and can
cause reflections (rubber buffers, etc. for instance). This setting should be
used with TailGUARDRoof for the top two ultrasonic sensors.
Ground level: The ultrasonic sensor sensitivity is reduced a little at long
range to mask out reflections caused by objects on the ground (curbs for
instance). This setting should be used if the ultrasonic sensors are installed
lower than 50 cm (e.g. for the lower sensor row with TailGUARDMAX).
