Installation
Sensor Mounting
The Side Defender™ radar mounting location is important for proper system
operation. Ideally the sensor should be mounted on the side of the vehicle
between 18” (45cm) and 24” (61cm) above the ground, as measured from level
ground to the bottom of the sensor. The sensor face should be perpendicular
to the ground with Side Defender™ text up and V logo pointing down. Select a
location that will provide some protection from impact and debris while allowing an
unobstructed view of the target hazard area. Refer to the Keep Out/Interference
Zones listed below.
Mounting Tolerances
For optimal performance, the vertical angle (up/down) tolerances are +5 degrees
(up) and -2 degrees (down), and the horizontal angle (side/side) tolerance is +/- 5
degrees.
