Vehicle Set Up: Description

Accurate adjustment of the radar alignment requires that the ICC target board, wheel adapter, laser assembly, and stationary target be properly positioned.

1. PREPOSITION TARGET BOARD
   
   
   NOTE:

   • To identify the sensor wave axis center, measure the point as shown in the illustration.

     A	: 800 mm (31.50 in)

   • ICC target board setting must be in the center position. (Position 2)
   • Attaching the ICC alignment kit attachment board to the ICC target board.
   1. Position the ICC target board in front facing the right front side of the vehicle:

      1. Place the marked center of the ICC target board 1060 mm (41.73 in.) +- 50 mm (1.97 in) facing the Distance sensor.
      2. Adjust the height of the ICC target board using the adjustable nut to achieve the proper height. The up/down tolerance is +- 30 mm (1.18 in).
      3. Adjust the ICC target board lateral position aligning the marked center of the board horizontally with the center of the Distance sensor. The right/left tolerance is +- 80 mm (3.15 in).
   2. Extend the machined arm of the ICC target board exposing the reflective surface to the right front side of the vehicle.
   3. Place one side of the laser assembly flush against the center of the ICC target board to assist in the positioning.

   4. Turn the laser assembly ON allowing the laser beam to emit through the opening of the laser assembly toward the center of the Distance sensor.
   5. Move the ICC target board as necessary so that center of Distance sensor target board aligns with center of Distance sensor.
   6. Turn the laser assembly OFF when done.

   Are using Hunter alignment equipment?

   YES 

   Refer to Hunter's equipment instructions for complete vehicle set up and Distance sensor target board setting. Then, refer to DISTANCE SENSOR ADJUSTMENT .

   NO 

   GO TO STEP 2. 

2. INSTALLING LASER ASSEMBLY
   
   
   NOTE:

   • Insure the steering wheel is positioned in the center straight forward position.
   • Insure all 4 vehicle wheels do not contain any physical damage.
   1. Install the wheel adapter on the right front wheel.

   2. Mount the laser assembly to the wheel adapter as shown in the figure.
      NOTE:

      When the power switch is turned ON, the front laser signal will be emitted toward the front Distance sensor target board, and the rear laser signal will be emitted toward the rear of the vehicle.

   GO TO STEP 3. 

3. SETTING UP STATIONARY TARGET
   
   
   1. Place the stationary target next to the right rear tire as shown in the figure.

   2. Turn the laser assembly ON allowing the laser beam to be emitted through the front and rear laser assembly openings.
   3. Measure and record the distance (D_r ) between the edge of the right rear wheel and the laser beam on the stationary target (horizontal line).
   4. Measure and record the height (H_r ) between the laser beam on the stationary target and ground level (vertical line).
   5. Measure and record the distance (D_f ) between the edge of the right front wheel and the laser beam signal/opening on the laser assembly (horizontal line).

   6. Measure and record the height (H_f ) between the laser beam signal/opening on the laser assembly and ground level (vertical line).
      NOTE:

      • Horizontal adjustment [front distance (D_f) and rear distance (D_r )] is accomplished by slowly turning the steering wheel until the 2 distances are the same.
      • Vertical adjustment [front height (H_f) and rear height (H_r )] is accomplished by rotating the laser assembly around its axis until the two heights are the same.
      • Directional arrows and are shown to illustrate the direction of the laser assembly beams.
   7. Adjust laser beam as necessary until the two distances match and the two heights match.
      NOTE:

      Must be verify both horizontal and vertical adjustments anytime one adjustment is made.
