WARNING!
All four screws should be used to ensure that the radar is properly secured.
To ensure maximum performance, the radar must turn at a steady speed. Therefore, the mounting surface
should follow the following criteria:
 Flat and level to within 1/2° on level terrain, to properly direct the radar energy. If needed, it is
possible to tilt the radar assembly up to 22.5º to follow the terrain contour.
 The mount area should be designed such that rain water does not accumulate.
 The mount area must provide enough clearance for the power/data connector and for the installer
to have room to manually mate the power/data cable to the connector.
 The screws need to be long enough to go through the mounting surface plus 12.7 mm (1/2”) plus
the washer thickness. If the mounting surface is a 6.3 mm (1/4”) plate, then the screws (threads)
should be 19 mm (3/4”) in length.
 The maximum screw penetration into the radar should not exceed 15.7 mm (~5/8”).
 Torque should not be excessive but should result in no rocking movement whatsoever.
 The use of a compound such as Loctite® is recommended to maintain the screws in the desired
position. A lock washer is not required.
 The two aerating vents on the bottom of the radar units should not be obstructed.
