The exception to this rule maybe something like an ADT because of the articulation point, it is advisable to include a detection zone around both ends of the machine. | | --- | --- | | Remember that the detection zone size is variable and has a long side and a short side, creating an elliptical shape around the machine. The position / direction that the antenna is placed impacts the shape or orientation of the the detection zone.  | ![Antenna\_Bubble\_Coverage](https://hello.gkdtechnologies.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Antenna_Bubble_Coverage.png?width=688&name=Antenna_Bubble_Coverage.png) | | --- | --- | ### Typical installation points and considerations. | ![Excavator\_002](https://hello.gkdtechnologies.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Excavator_002.png?width=688&name=Excavator_002.png) | **Excavator** Rear and sides monitoring.
