Overview
The installation of the Bendix™ VORAD® VS-400 System is intended to cover a wide range of commercial vehicle applications. This
publication is intended to be a reference for commercial vehicle installations using the vehicle’s SAE J1939 data link interface. For vehicles
without a SAE J1939 data link, some installation procedures may vary for a proper system installation and operation.
Typical Component Locations
Note: Not all components are required for every application.
The Forward Looking Radar (FLR) determines the distance, lane position (azimuth), relative speed (velocity), and direction of vehicles
in front of the host vehicle. The FLR is a Doppler radar that transmits at a 77 GHz frequency. A built-in yaw rate sensor (gyro) provides
relative azimuth for lane positioning in turns. The SAE J1939 interface allows the FLR to be installed as a Bendix™ SmartCruise™ adaptive
cruise control only stand-alone unit, or as a component of the complete Bendix™ VORAD® VS-400 System.
The FLR can track multiple objects simultaneously in relative motion within the radar’s effective range of view. Relative motion is defi ned
as an object’s movement towards, or away from, the radar transceiver.
Note: The Forward Looking Radar is only activated while the vehicle is in motion.

Note: The design of the Mounting Bracket may vary. This is a typical representation.
Located on the forward most position of the vehicle, the FLR transmits and receives low power, high frequency electromagnetic energy.
Transmitted energy that is refl ected off objects in front of the vehicle is received and processed by the radar’s internal microprocessor to
determine the object(s) relative distance, position (azimuth), speed (velocity), and direction of travel.
Mounting
Bracket
For proper operation, the 77GHz forward looking radar unit shall be installed on the vehicle with the following constraints:
• The radar unit must be rigidly attached to the forward most position of the vehicle chassis, perpendicular with the vehicle’s
forward thrust axis.
• The lateral position of the radar should be located as close to the vehicle’s center as possible (+/- 50mm).
• The vertical position of the radar must be at a minimum of 12” (304.8mm) and a maximum of 28” (711.2mm) from the ground.
• The radar must be installed in a manner that protects it from minor frontal impacts, as well as protecting the radar’s harness
connector from road debris.
• The mounting hardware must allow for a minimum of ±3° mechanical adjustment of the radar’s horizontal and vertical axis.
• The radar must be orientated so the harness connector is pointing in the downward position.
The mounting location must provide a clear view in front of the radar. Ideally, the radar will be recessed behind the profi le of the vehicle’s
front bumper or grill, but not to interfere with the radar’s sight profi le. See “No Radar Obstruction Zone” on next page.

Mounting Requirements
Requirements
The Forward Looking Radar can be mounted on the front of the vehicle, or integrated behind a non-metallic body panel as long as the
mounting, alignment, and material requirements are met in the following sections.
Field of View Defi nition
The Forward Looking Radar (FLR) fi eld of view in elevation and azimuth is illustrated below. The grey area represents a cross-cut view of
the three-dimensional “No Radar Obstruction Zone”.
Using the illustration below, the diameter of the hole in front of the Forward Looking Radar can de determined. For materials within 30mm
of the FLR, the hole diameter must be greater than 70mm. For materials 40mm from the front of the FLR, the hole diameter must be
greater than 90mm.
WARNING
!

Cover Material Requirements
Any material that may be located in the Forward Looking Radar’s fi eld of view (including bumpers, spoilers, etc.) can not be made out
of any metallic material or have any carbon content. It is recommended that any material that will be located in the FLR fi eld of view be
approved by Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems prior to use.
If the radar has a cover perpendicular to the radar beam, even a very slight vibration of the cover can cause the refl ected radar signal to be
seen as a very strong false target at close range. If the radar cover is not perpendicular by more than 5° then the returned refl ection does
not enter the receiver channel and hence is not detected. The recommended angle of the beam to the cover is 50° to 80°. There have
been applications that have the cover perpendicular, but the forward radar and the cover were directly mounted to each other to minimize
the cover’s movement to the radar module. This may be a diffi cult condition to maintain.
The cover must not contain any metal or high carbon concentrations, as this reduces the radar range. The electrical characteristics of
the cover material (on microwave RF) and its thickness can effect the range as well. Polymeric or ceramic material is recommended.
Recommended thickness are based on the cover’s angle. The table on the following page lists material thicknesses for a perpendicular or
80° angle cover. The ideal thickness also depends on the angle of incidence of the cover relative to the radar beam axis. The materials in
this table do not represent the only possible make up for a cover.
The recommendation scoring system has been applied as follows:
• Losses shall be less than 0.7dB.
• Thickness for rigidity reasons shall be greater than 2mm.
Thickness accuracy: +/- 0.15mm
Thickness recommendation is based on cover being a fl at unpainted surface that extends beyond the “No Radar Obstruction Zone” (see
previous page). Since paints can impact the losses, they need to be evaluated separately. As with the cover, the paint must not contain
metal or carbon.
• The thickness depends on the angle of incidence of the bumper shield located in the radar fi eld view relative to the radar beam
axis; it should be updated with the real angle.
• The angle of incidence is recommended to be between 50° to 80°; 90° is prohibited so as to avoid any spurious refl ection of the
radar beam back into the Forward Looking Radar.

• Painting can induce extra losses that depend heavily on the painting thickness itself and on its painting process. These paints
need to be tested individually to assess their impact on the recommendations made in this document. For more information, see

Mounting Requirements
Painting
A wide variety of colors and textures can be applied to the Forward Looking Radar housing using commercially available organic paints
and conventional application processes.
Painting the component may assist with color degradation over time.
The following guidelines apply:
• Paints must not contain metal or carbon particles.
• Carbon content of paint could be a factor as high concentrations could reduce transparency.
• Paint thickness may impact the radar’s ability to pass through the surface.
• It is not recommended to paint the lens area.
• Do not paint the FLR mirror.
• Do not paint the mounting points as it could cause incorrect bracket engagement.
• Protect the connector breather element during any painting operation.

Alignment
WARNING
!
▲
The alignment of the Forward Looking Radar is critical to the correct operation of the Bendix™ VORAD® VS-400 system.
Improper alignment can cause the system to improperly detect objects in the vehicle’s path. Every precaution
should be taken to ensure the VS-400 alignment (both horizontal and vertical), is correct.
Alignment of the Forward Looking Radar is a repetitive process of adjusting the vertical and horizontal axis using the bracket screws.
Note: The vehicle must be parked on a level surface. If the vehicle is on an angled surface, then level compensations must be made to
ensure proper alignment.
Below are steps for a typical alignment procedure. Other companies, such as Hunter Engineering Company (11250 Hunter Drive,
Bridgeton, MO 63044, 314-731-3020), can also be contacted to establish alignment using professional alignment equipment.
Vertical Alignment
The steps for vertical alignment are as follows:
1. Hold a digital level against the fl at surface of the mounting bracket.
2. Use a 5/32" Allen wrench to loosen the locking screws.
Note: Failure to loosen both locking screws will result in damage to the alignment bracket.
3. Adjust the alignment screws until the digital level reads down 0° ± .2°.
4. Once aligned, tighten the locking screws.
Note: The illustration below shows a typical mounting and mounting bracket. The design may vary.

Mounting Requirements
Horizontal Alignment
The Forward Looking Radar must be facing straight ahead (azimuth) of the vehicle in order to optimally detect objects in the vehicle path.
1. Select two truck reference points that are identical and symmetrical about the truck centerline. Ensure the reference points are
equally aligned. Items such as fenders and headlights should not be damaged or distorted, otherwise, the alignment will be
inaccurate.
2. Center a 4'-6' (1-2m) straight edge across a fl at surface of the Forward Looking Radar bracket.
3. Measure the distance between the reference points and the face of the straight edge.
4. Use a 5/32" Allen wrench to loosen the locking screws.
Note: Failure to loosen both locking screws will result in damage to the alignment bracket.
5. Adjust the alignment screw until the two measurement points are equal within ± .1" (2.54mm).
6. Once the measurements are equal for both of the reference points, tighten the locking screws.
7. Check both the vertical and horizontal alignment:
a. Re-measure the reference points to ensure they are equal.
b. Use the digital level to verify the vertical alignment is still face down 0° from vertical ± .2°.

Mounting Requirements - Side Object Detection (SOD)
Side Sensor
The Side Sensor should be mounted on the side of the vehicle, between 22" (558.8mm) and 36" (914.4mm) from the ground and at least
18" (457.2mm) rear of the side view mirror (see diagram below). Typically, the Side Sensor is located on the passenger side of the vehicle,
however, it can also be installed on the driver side of the vehicle.
Note: To reduce the possibility of the sensor detecting objects mounted to the vehicle like the steps or fuel tanks, make sure the face of the
sensor extends out a minimum of 5/16" (7.9mm) further than any other object within 6" (152.4mm) of the sensor's body.

Mounting Requirements
Mounting Requirements - Driver Interface Unit (DIU)
The Driver Interface Unit (DIU) serves as the Bendix™ VORAD® Collision Warning System's central information center. The DIU provides
the driver with visual and audible alerts, as well as system confi guration, status, and diagnostic information. The DIU uses the vehicle's
SAE J1939 data link to communicate with the FLR, and other vehicle system devices.
The DIU should be located where the driver can easily view and adjust the controls. This can be located on top of, or integrated into, the
dashboard fl ush with the front edge of the dashboard. Ease of operation and visibility of the DIU front panel are the primary considerations.
The method chosen for routing the wiring harness to the DIU should also be taken into consideration when determining the optimal
location.
Installation involves mounting the DIU to an in-dash or on-dash bracket. Attach the bottom of the DIU to the bracket with #6-19 Plastite
screws. The four mounting screw locations on the display are .393" (10mm) deep maximum. The screws should leave about .060" (1.5mm)
minimum of clearance between the tip and the bottom of the hole when installed. For example, a .375" (9.5mm) long screw with a .060"
(1.5mm) thick bracket would be acceptable.
Note: The J1939 data bus uses two (2) 120-ohm resistors to terminate each end of the data bus on the vehicle. These resistors must
remain in place for proper data bus communication. Due to the mounting location of the Forward Looking Radar, the closest of the
vehicle's J1939 terminators may have to be relocated nearer the radar as shown in the diagram below. Check the resistance of the
data bus using an ohmmeter before and after adding any device to the bus. With the ignition key in the OFF position, the resistance
of the data bus should read approximately 60-ohms (120 / 2).

2. Bring truck up to road speed (50-60 MPH suggested).
3. Activate cruise control using vehicle controls (set speed switch, lever, button, etc.).

7. Resume speed
Lower the door to the dyno, or move a refl ective target in front of Forward Looking Radar.
(15-30 feet away from and directly in front of Forward Looking Radar).
While the target is moving in front of radar, the VS-400 should see the target, (indicated
by the DIU displaying lights, CWS alerts, LCD screen, and audibles), and the vehicle
should defuel and apply the Jake brakes to slow vehicle speed.
8. Assuming the above functions performed properly, the vehicle defueled, the target
stopped moving (indicated by no target detection in the DIU), the vehicle engine did not
drop below 1000 rpm, and the road speed did not drop below minimum requirements, the
vehicle should now accelerate back to the set speed on its own.
9. If all tests performed and operated as outlined, the Adaptive Cruise Control and CWS
functionality test has completed properly, and the Adaptive Cruise Control validation
process is complete.
Note: Because of the high horsepower engines in use today, and the ability of the Jake
brakes to apply twice the braking horsepower to the rear wheels, the truck may
defuel to the point the vehicle drops out of Cruise before the target has stopped
moving. This moving target, (indicated by the DIU displaying lights, LCD screen,
and audibles) would indicate a viable reason to defuel; thereby causing the vehicle
to Jake to the point the engine will disengage the cruise function. This is normal
and not a defi ciency with the system.
Note: To test each specifi c CWS alert requires accurate road speed and target closing
distance calculations. Therefore, additional procedures are necessary to facilitate
this functionality.

Appendix
Retrofi t Information
Retrofi t Recommended Practices
Body builder electrical systems that are to be interconnected with the VS-400 electrical system should adhere to the latest
recommendations of SAE J1292. In addition to SAE J1292, the following recommendations should be followed:
1. All wiring terminals should be properly insulated to prevent "short circuits". All terminals should be of insulation grip design to
provide a reliable connection and to prevent terminal fatigue.
2. Terminals and splices that are connected outside the body should be moisture resistant design. Molded insulator for ring
terminals should be used. Molded connector/insulators are recommended for use with blade or pin type terminals.
3. Wires must be routed to provide at least 3" (75mm) clearance to moving parts, unless positively fastened or protected by conduit.
4. Wire routing should avoid areas where temperatures exceed 80°C [180°F] and a minimum clearance of 6" (150mm) should be
maintained from exhaust system components. Where compliance with this requirement is not possible, heat insulation and heat
shields are required.
5. Wire routing and component mounting (switches, relays, etc.) should be located to be easily removed for service. Do not
surround the components with body structure that will prevent removal for service.
6. Wiring to all circuit components (switches, relays, etc.) in exposed locations shall provide a drip loop to prevent moisture from
being conducted into the device via the wire connection.
7. Routing wiring into wheel splash areas should be avoided. When such routing cannot be avoided, adequate clipping or protective
shielding is required to protect wiring from stone and ice damage.
8. Routing wires under the frame side-members or at points lower than the bottom frame fl ange should be avoided to prevent
damage to the wires in off-road operations.
9. The wire retainers and grommets installed by the assembly plant are designed to accommodate only the OEM installed wires.
Additional wiring or tubing must be retained by additional clips. When added wires to tubes are routed through sheet metal
panels, new holes must be used (with adequate wire protection and sealing).
10. All wiring connections to components of the factory-installed system must be accomplished by using the correct mating wire
termination. Connections on studs and ground connections must use ring type terminations.
11. When it is necessary to splice wires, the splice must be adequately crimped to provide a good mechanical and electrical
connection. Double wall heat shrink tubing should be used where the outer wall will provide adequate electrical insulation and the
inner wall melts and seals the splice from the envionrment.
12. Never add another circuit or splice into the ignition or battery power supplies. The fuses and curcuit breakers installed
at the assembly plant are designed to protect the wiring and electrical components from overloads. Never remove a factory
installed fuse or circuit breaker and replace with a high value device. If the added electrical device causes "fuse blow", or circuit
breaker cycling, it indicates the total load is too high for the factory-installed circuit protection and requires revisions in the added
circuit; not an increase in fuse or circuit breaker size. In this case, the device cannot be added directly to the circuit, but must be
connected through a separate hang-on switch or relay of the correct capacity, using added wiring of the correct gauge. Failure
to adopt this precaution will lead to switch contacts burning. The following wire table suggests wire gauges for various maximum
current draws and will aid in the selection of the correct wire size. The current capacity of a given wire varies with temperature
and type of insulation, but the following values are generally acceptable. If the total electrical load on the circuit, after the addition
of electrical equipment, is less than the fuse protection in that circuit or less than the capacity of some limiting component
(switch, relay, etc.), the items to be added can be connected directly to that circuit. The connection points and allowable loads
are normally found in the owner's manual. Contact the OEM with any questions.
