ADAPTIVE INTERFACE
The Adaptive Radar Interface is a universal radar
interface intended to connect existing radar sys-
tems to the Hiniker system.
The Adaptive Radar Interface when used with the
proper adapter cable will work with any radar sys-
tem. The interface will not effect the performance
of the radar system and totally isolates the two
systems electronically.
How it works
The Adaptive Interface consists of the interface
module and the proper adapter cable. The adapter
cable is a “T” type feed thru cable with the proper
connector to interface to your system.
As long as
the connector mates with the connector at the
radar, the interface will work.
No more wiring er-
rors! The Adaptive Interface will
find
the proper
wires for power, signal, and ground, and provide
high isolation between the dash and the Hiniker
system. The interface divides the signal, enhances
it and routes it to the Hiniker system. Adapter ca-
bles are available for all radars.
To install
Disconnect the radar cable from the radar and
connect it to the Adaptive Interface adapter cable.
Next plug the adapter cable into the radar. Con-
nect the Adaptive interface to the adapter cable
and mount in a convenient location with wires
facing down. Connect the cable marked speed to
the SPEED input of the Hiniker console using the
proper length speed extension cable. Route all
cables away from hot or moving parts, and secure
with wire tires.
Adapters # 38828009 and # 38828010 are for inter-
facing to optional radar connections inside the cab.
Only plug one of the Y-connectors to the optional
radar connector. The other is used for expansion
to another system.
To install the universal splice adapter cable, first
apply the blue wire taps to the wires at the radar
using a pair of pliers, one tap to each wire. Next
connect the adapter to the interface and mount as
described above.
If you are using the Ford adapter and your Radar
is equipped with the same connector only black in-
stead of gray, then perform the following: On the
male shells only, clip off the small indexing tab that
prevents the mating of a black and gray shell to-
gether. This must be done on both male shells, one
black and one gray.
