5. Getting started
Before using the radar, it is advisable to carry out an external inspection for defects: check the integrity and
cleanliness of the outer part of the connector and that the casing and the radio window are free of dents,
cracks, chips and other mechanical damages.
Before the product is switched on for the first time, it must be installed and adjusted.
RADAR INSTALLATION
For operation, the radar sensor must be properly installed:
1. Fasten the radar to the installation site;
2. Carry out radar alignment;
3. Connect the radar using a cable.
Keep in mind when installing the radar:
●
The sensor must be securely fixed to the chosen mounting location to prevent unintentional
movement during operation, for this purpose we recommend using the standard bracket
1
with the
possibility of adjusting the sensor's angle of inclination.
●
Dirt, splashes and snow should be avoided or minimised and the radar window should not be
exposed to ice.
●
It is important to ensure that the mountings and structural parts of the object to be installed are not
within the radar's field of view.
●
Ensure the radar is positioned correctly as the sensor is sensitive to spatial orientation.
RADAR ALIGNMENT
In order to carry out a correct alignment, it is necessary to:
1. Position the product correctly in accordance with figure 8;
2. Ensure that the area of interest is positioned on the line of sight as shown in figure 9.
Once the alignment procedure is complete, tighten the fixing screws and the unit is ready for use.

The use of a third-party bracket is permitted, but the manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the quality of the
mounting of the radar on such a bracket.
