Mounting Requirements
Horizontal Alignment
The Forward Looking Radar must be facing straight ahead (azimuth) of the vehicle in order to optimally detect objects in the vehicle path.
1. Select two truck reference points that are identical and symmetrical about the truck centerline. Ensure the reference points are
equally aligned. Items such as fenders and headlights should not be damaged or distorted, otherwise, the alignment will be
inaccurate.
2. Center a 4'-6' (1-2m) straight edge across a fl at surface of the Forward Looking Radar bracket.
3. Measure the distance between the reference points and the face of the straight edge.
4. Use a 5/32" Allen wrench to loosen the locking screws.
Note: Failure to loosen both locking screws will result in damage to the alignment bracket.
5. Adjust the alignment screw until the two measurement points are equal within ± .1" (2.54mm).
6. Once the measurements are equal for both of the reference points, tighten the locking screws.
7. Check both the vertical and horizontal alignment:
a. Re-measure the reference points to ensure they are equal.
b. Use the digital level to verify the vertical alignment is still face down 0° from vertical ± .2°.
Note: The illustration below shows a typical mounting and mounting bracket. The design may vary.
