1. Forward Looking Radar Alignment
Alignment
The alignment of the Forward Looking Radar is critical to the correct operation of the Bendix
™
VORAD
®
VS-400 system. Improper
alignment can cause the system to improperly detect objects in the vehicle’s path. Every precaution should be taken to ensure
the VS-400 system alignment (both horizontal and vertical), is correct.
Alignment of the Forward Looking Radar is a repetitive process of adjusting the vertical and horizontal axis using the bracket screws. The
vertical alignment must be completed with a digital level. The horizontal alignment is started by referencing the FLR against fixed positions
on the bumper and using a digital level. The horizontal alignment is completed by performing a calibration procedure with the Service
Ranger 3 diagnostic software while driving the unit equipped with the VORAD system.
Note: The vehicle must be parked on a level surface. If the vehicle is on an angled surface, then level compensations must be made to
ensure proper alignment.
Below are steps for a typical alignment procedure. Other companies, such as Hunter Engineering Company (11250 Hunter Drive,
Bridgeton, MO 63044, 314-731-3020), can also be contacted to establish alignment using other professional alignment equipment.
2. Vertical Alignment
The steps for vertical alignment are as follows:
1. Hold a digital level against the flat surface of the mounting bracket.
2. Usea5/32"Allenwrenchtoloosenthelockingscrews.
Note: Failure to loosen both locking screws will result in damage to the alignment bracket.
3. Adjustthealignmentscrewsuntilthedigitallevelreadsdown0°±.2°.
4. Once aligned, tighten the locking screws.
