Road Test Check-Out Procedure
After completing the installation of the VORAD components, perform a test drive. It will be necessary to perform a final
alignment of the antenna. If vehicle speed is being obtained through the discrete speed input connected to a speed sen-
sor on the vehicle (common configuration on automotive retrofit installations), it will also be necessary to calibrate the
speed signal. This can be done using a laptop PC and the align software provided with the system.
Insert the ignition key and turn it to the run position, the VORAD system will power-up and go into a self-test mode.
During this test mode the lights on the driver display will be on. After successful completion of the test the green power
light should remain on. If the systems fail to power up correctly the red fail light will be illuminated and diagnostics
must be performed to identify and correct the problem before proceeding. See the Trouble shooting section.
1. If the VORAD system has the SmartCruise feature the green s/c light will remain on after power-up until the
brake pedal is depressed and released once. Perform this check.
2. Depress range knob for two seconds; then release. Confirm demo tones and lights are output on the driver dis-
play.
3. Side sensor test (if equipped with side sensors). Drive the vehicle and confirm that the side sensors are func-
tioning as described:
The yellow light should be on when the ignition is on. When an object is within 1–12 feet of the sensor zone,
the red light should be illuminated. If the turn signal is active and an object is detected, a single audible tone
will be issued.
Calibrating the Discrete Speed Source
Note: Calibration is not required when using J1587 or J1939 as the speed source.
a. Use the calibration function on the Alignment Program supplied by Eaton.
b. Press Speedcal and follow procedure.
This tool checks the alignment of the VORAD antenna.
Alignment should be made to within 0.5 degrees.
A straight road is required.
1. Speed - recommend highway speed 50-65 MPH
2. Distance - follow at 200-300 feet
3. Data amount - recommend 2-5 miles or until the angle calcuation is stable
4. Pause in curves or traffic cut in/out
5. Try to match the lane position of target vehicle
Best vehicle to follow is a semi van trailer because of radar reflective
properties of the flat rear square surface.
