Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems VORAD VS-400 INSTALLATION NOTES - Manual

This Bendix ™ VORAD ® VS-400 System Kit is designed to be installed in any commercial vehicle that is
equipped with a 12 volt DC grounded chassis electrical system and an engine that supports SAE J1939 data
link communications. Kits that are confi gured for SmartCruise
™ adaptive cruise control require an engine that
supports, and is enabled for, adaptive cruise control. Contact the engine OEM for more information about
adaptive cruise control compatibility and engine settings.
The VS-400 system is comprised of a forward looking radar unit mounted on the forward most position of the
vehicle (typically on the front bumper), and a driver interface unit that is located inside the vehicle on or in
the dash of the cab. For proper operation, the forward radar must be centered on the front of the vehicle and
aligned true to the vehicle’s forward thrust angle.
