Installation
Sensor Installation
1. Select the appropriate sensor mounting location using the mounting
bracket supplied.
2. The sensor must be mounted with the “Bendix logo” parallel to the ground.
3. If mounting the sensor directly to the chassis or on a custom bracket,
use the sensor’s mounting holes as a template and score position marks
through the holes. Drill 1/4" (6 mm) holes centered at the marks.
4. Secure the sensor to the vehicle with the supplied 10-24 UNC button head
screws, washer, and nuts (or equivalent). Torque mounting screws 22
lbs. in. max.
Rear Sensor Display Installation
The rear sensor display should be mounted where it can be easily viewed and heard
by the operator while backing up the vehicle. Recommended mounting locations are
on the dashboard in front of the driver, or on the driver side windshield pillar.
The rear sensor display should not obstruct the driver’s view, or interfere with the
vehicle’s normal operation.
The rear sensor display comes equipped with a mounting bracket and hardware. The
rear sensor display is not watertight and should be mounted inside the vehicle cab.
Harness Installation
Use the corrugated loom provided in the installation kit to wrap the harness before
installing. Care should be taken to not route the interconnect harness next to heat
sources such as the engine exhaust, or areas that may expose the harness to
abrasion, strain or damage. Allow for a small service loop in the harness at the
sensor and secure the harness every one or two feet (30 to 60 mm) with tie wraps
or harness tape. Use the grommet provided to protect the harness when passing
through the cab wall (if required).
