Aiming the IR Camera

Parts/kits listed are now obsolete and are no longer serviceable through Bendix.

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.

1.Using Figures 35-38 and a T15 Torx wrench, adjust the angle of the IR camera as needed.

NOTE: Two and one-quarter turns of the horizontal adjuster is equal to one degree of IR camera movement.
