Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems VORAD SIDE SENSOR INSTALLATION NOTE - Manual

VORAD ® Integrated Side Sensor 83895-100 (supersedes part number 83222-100)
In an effort to provide our customers with the latest in technological advancements, this new sensor has
been designed to directly replace all VORAD
® (square face) side sensors and now supercedes all previous
replacement sensors part numbers.
This new sensor provides the driver with an enhanced degree of view as compared to the previous sensor
design. The pulse radar technology used in this sensor also allows it to detect stationary, as well as moving
objects, in its view.
Refer to the VORAD EVT-300 Driver Instructions (VODR-0030) for complete installation and operation
instructions.
Installation Notes:
The face of the side sensor should extend a minimum of 5/32" (4mm) beyond any surrounding surfaces or
objects within 6" from the sensor to prevent false detection.
Installation Instructions (replacing older square style sensor):
1.
Remove the old side sensor from the mounting bracket and inspect the harness connector for damage
or corrosion.
2. Position the new side sensor over the square cutout on the mounting bracket or side skirt. Orientate
the sensor so the writing on the face of the sensor is parallel with the ground.
3. Mark the location of the three mounting holes with a marking tool and drill using a #11 drill bit.
4. Mount sensor using hardware kit supplied. Torque mounting screws 18-22 in-lb.
Note: Do not over torque mounting hardware to prevent damage to the sensor.
5. Connect the sensor to the wire harness, making sure the connectors are clean. Lubricate the connector
seal and terminals with an approved connector dielectric lubricant*.
