User manual WHISTLER CRUISADER INSTALLATION

[. . . ] In order for the laser receiver to "see", it can not be mounted behind any object. If the installation allows for a clear view for laser-radar receiver, the extra laser receiver can be used for rear detection. Because the optimal location for mounting the antenna varies by vehicle type, the hardware supplied is designed to offer a wide variety of mounting options. All references to antenna in this manual will be the bubble area. Installation of Laser-Radar Antenna The reflector bracket serves two purposes; (1) to allow vertical mounting of the antenna (see page 10 for vertical install instructions) and (2); when mounted in reverse (angled portion towards the wires. ) allow the receiver to be installed on any horizontal area. (1) Antenna 4x8 mm SEMS (2) Reflector Dual Lock Fastener Dual Lock Fastener Reflector 4x8 mm SEMS Antenna Note: Use of hardware that is not supplied or DRILLING into the case will cause damage to the receiver and void the warranty. [. . . ] Also, keep the antenna cable away from any areas around the engine compartment that may become hot. Cable ties are provided to secure the antenna and Temperature Probe cables at various points on the frame. PWR - 12 Volt Connection AUX - LED, Tone Voice Module Output LAS - Laser Module Input ANT - Laser-Radar Receiver Input Mounted in this position, radar signals are reflected into the ANTENNA window; however, the unit will not be able to receive laser signals. Mounting the Temperature Probe Find a location that is far enough away from the engine and radiator heat but still in the airflow for the vehicle. Mounting the Probe too close to these heat areas will give a false high temperature. · Attach the mountable tie wrap (supplied) to the Temperature Probe as shown. · Mark location for Probe, then drill a hole using a 7/64" drill bit. Attach Probe with tie wrap in the correct orientation using the #6 x 3/4 screw. Note: Mount the Probe so that there is space between the Mountable Probe and the mounting area. Temperature Probe Mounting Location Probe Cable Label on back of Control Panel Indicates what each wire goes to. 11 12 Cruisader Installation. qxd 5/24/05 9:00 PM Page 15 Installation of Control Panel Installation of the Control Panel The installation package provides at least three ways to mount the control panel to the vehicle. Using the "V" bracket alone will allow attachment to an existing bolt on the vehicle. Another is using the handlebar clamp in conjunction with the "V". The handle bar bracket is designed to be used on any 1 inch to 1 1/4" handlebar tubing. The clamp is shipped with an inner and outer clamp V Bracket together. The inner bracket is used for the smaller Handle Bar diameter bars, the larger Bracket size for the 1 1/4" bars. The next way is using the dog bone bracket instead of the "V" bracket. This bracket allows more flexibility in providing the correct viewing angle for the display. Tip: Since the control panel dimensions are the same as a standard 2 1/16" automotive gauges, the aftermarket offers many enclosures that can customize the installation. General Laser Information Mount the laser antenna with the lens array facing forward down the road. This approach offers the greatest protection, since you will most often be traveling into a laser signal, rather that away from it when laser speed enforcement is encountered. [. . . ] Laser Port Installation of Console Power Cable Connection to the Battery (Cont. ) Locate the power and ground connection terminals on the power cable. Connect the positive lead (wire with fuse holder) to the positive terminal on the battery (on a conventional battery, remove the terminal first, on a side-mounted battery, remove the wire assembly from the terminal). Connect the other lead to the battery ground (the battery ground is generally a bolt located on the frame, adjacent to the battery). 1. Antenna Port Laser-Radar Antenna Cable Connection The stereo connector on the end of the Laser-Radar antenna cable plugs into the ANT port (4) on the back of the control panel. [. . . ]
