Dimensions and Weight of the C6 Sensor Figure 1 shows the dimensions of the C6 sensor and details the mounting of the sensor. Please refer to Fig. 1 for the detailed drawing. Sensor weight: 150 grams max.
Title: Installation Specifications and User Manual, Radar Sensor, C6 INSTALLATION SPECIFICATION 5.0 Doc. No. E805913 Rev. 003, Page 4 of 12 SPECIFICATIONS Figure 1 IMPORTANT NOTE: The two mounting holes are not specified for mounting the complete sensor. They do not provide the mechanical properties to keep the sensor in place. They shall be used to fix the sensor in a mounting bracket. Mounting tabs are to be fastened tight to mounting bracket using appropriate fastener.

Title: Installation Specifications and User Manual, Radar Sensor, C6 INSTALLATION SPECIFICATION 5.3.8 Doc. No. E805913 Rev. 003, Page 11 of 12 Mounting Bracket Design and Vehicle Mounting In addition to the mounting bracket design being consistent with the keep out zones described in this document the bracket must also provide the following: - The mounting bracket shall prevent sensor movement or vibration in x, y, or z direction with respect to the bracket.
Title: Installation Specifications and User Manual, Radar Sensor, C6 INSTALLATION SPECIFICATION Doc. No. E805913 Rev. 003, Page 12 of 12 APPENDIX A EFFECT OF PAINT Depending upon the type of paint, number of coatings, base coats used, etc. the attenuation of the radar signal was measured between 2 and 5 dB (corresponds to reduction of coverage between 11 and 25%). Because attenuation has significant impact on performance, prior inspection of the material and paint samples are suggested.
