INTRODUCTION
The Bendix® XVision® System is an infrared (IR) night vision
system for heavy vehicles. The system increases a driver’s
night visibility three to five times beyond the normal range of
vehicle headlights, allowing earlier detection of hazards.
The system features an IR camera that detects
electromagnetic energy in the 7-14 micron wavelength region
and outputs a real-time monochrome video signal on a
display. Objects emit radiation in this wavelength region,
known as LWIR, which is proportional to temperature.
The resulting video output is a thermal map of the forward
road scene, where hotter objects appear brighter than
cooler objects.
™

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OPERATING INPUT VOLTAGE
POWER AND GROUND (POWER INPUTS)
Electrical power to the XVision® system is provided through
the vehicle harness. The vehicle ignition wire {(A) Red} should
be fused to a 3 A slow open fuse (maximum) and connected
to the ignition bus of the vehicle. The ground wire {(B) black}
should be connected to the ground bus of the vehicle. The
headlamp active wire {(C) blue} should be fused to a 1 A fast
open fuse (maximum) and connected to the vehicle headlamp
circuit. When the headlamps are on, 12 V should be present
on the blue wire.
WARNING: Vehicle power and headlight circuits MUST
be fused. Permanent damage to the display, IR
camera, or vehicle electrical system could occur if
power to these units is not fused. Eliminating fuses
from circuit will void all warranties.
IMPORTANT: When replacing a fuse, it is important
to use only the specified fuse with the correct
amperage, as listed above. The use of a fuse with a
rating other than indicated may result in a dangerous
electrical system overload. Repeated opening of a
properly rated fuse indicates a problem in the circuit
that must be corrected.
The IR camera is operational in the temperature range
between -40°C to 60°C. Normally, the IR camera takes about
45 seconds to warm up. However, as the external
temperature gets closer to the extremes listed, the warmup time will begin to approach two minutes. Refer to Figure
19.

AIMING THE IR CAMERA
The aiming adjusters on the IR camera bracket allow the
forward field of view (FOV) of the IR camera to be adjusted
horizontally and vertically. The adjustment screw head(s)
will accommodate an E8 external Torx® or a T15 internal
Torx®.
When the IR camera is mounted, adjust the horizontal and
vertical aiming adjusters to align the IR camera FOV with
the display. The position of the virtual image on the display
and how the virtual image correlates to objects in the road
depends directly on IR camera aiming.
NOTE: Use two people to aim and adjust the IR
camera. One technician should view the virtual image
on the display while the other technician aims the IR
camera.
NOTE: Verify that the vehicle is level and that the
tires are properly inflated before beginning the IR
camera aiming procedure.
HORIZONTAL AIMING AND ADJUSTING
When the IR camera is not mounted directly above the driver,
the angle of the IR camera will need to be adjusted. Align
the display image horizontally with the objects in the road
to give the driver a sense of object location.

The virtual image should be aligned vertically so that the
horizon appears in the lower one-half to one-third of the
combiner. Keeping the image at this adjustment should
provide a view of the road when the vehicle is driven up and
down hills.
The vertical aiming adjusters can accommodate
approximately ±4 degrees of movement. If the IR camera
needs more than 4 degrees of vertical movement the IR
camera bracket will need to be adjusted. Before changing
the vertical aiming adjuster, make sure the 5/16 bolts of the
IR camera bracket are tightened to 90-100 in.-lbs.
1. Using Figures 39 - 42 and a T15 torx wrench, adjust the
angle of the IR camera as needed.
NOTE: Two turns of the vertical adjuster is equal to
one degree of IR camera movement.
