PRODUCT INSTALLATIONS
1. MOUNTING THE RAVEN RADAR SPEED SENSOR
See Appendix 1 for Wheel Drive Speed Sensor installation instructions.
See Appendix 2 Speedometer Drive Speed Sensor installation instructions.
For mounting the radar, the following guidelines will assure proper installation:
It is suggested that a large heavy mounting bracket, (P/N 107-0159-693) be attached to the vehicle
frame for mounting the radar.
1) Park vehicle on level surface.
2) Select mounting site by considering the following:
a)
The line of sight from the lens to the ground must not be obstructed by structures or tires.
Obstructions must not come closer than 20 inches to the bottom of the radar. See Figures
1 and 2.
b) The radar lens must be parallel to the ground from front to back. Radar can be tilted out 0-
15 degrees to provide more clearance and miss obstructions. See Figure 2.
c) The radar should be mounted so that the length of the radar is parallel with direction of
vehicle travel.
3) Use carpenters level to verify that mounting bracket is parallel to the ground.
4) Bolt mounting bracket to implement.
5) Bolt radar to mounting bracket using mounting hardware. See Figure 3.
6) Connect radar with Radar Interface Cable (P/N 115-0159-539) to the Console. The Red wire should
be connected to the Orange cable wire. The White wire should be connected to the negative terminal
of the battery. See "BATTERY CONNECTIONS".
