Mounting Requirements
Installation
Note: The design of the Mounting Bracket may vary. This is a typical representation.
Located on the forward most position of the vehicle, the FLR transmits and receives low power, high frequency electromagnetic energy.
Transmitted energy that is refl ected off objects in front of the vehicle is received and processed by the radar’s internal microprocessor to
determine the object(s) relative distance, position (azimuth), speed (velocity), and direction of travel.
For proper operation, the 77GHz forward looking radar unit shall be installed on the vehicle with the following constraints:
• The radar unit must be rigidly attached to the forward most position of the vehicle chassis, perpendicular with the vehicle’s
forward thrust axis.
• The lateral position of the radar should be located as close to the vehicle’s center as possible (+/- 50mm).
• The vertical position of the radar must be at a minimum of 12” (304.8mm) and a maximum of 28” (711.2mm) from the ground.
• The radar must be installed in a manner that protects it from minor frontal impacts, as well as protecting the radar’s harness
connector from road debris.
• The mounting hardware must allow for a minimum of ±3° mechanical adjustment of the radar’s horizontal and vertical axis.
• The radar must be orientated so the harness connector is pointing in the downward position.
The mounting location must provide a clear view in front of the radar. Ideally, the radar will be recessed behind the profi le of the vehicle’s
front bumper or grill, but not to interfere with the radar’s sight profi le. See “No Radar Obstruction Zone” on next page.
