Accuspeed Installation Instructions:

FCC Warning:

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Phoenix International could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Installation:

The Accuspeed ground speed sensor is designed as an OEM ground speed sensor, and is to be mounted from 45 cm to 90 cm vertical

height above the ground and at 35 degrees from horizontal. The sensor is designed to face the rear of the vehicle.

When designing a mounting bracket, avoid having metal extend beyond the mounting feet of the sensor anywhere around the

circumference of the radome, which is the integrated antenna for this device.

The sensor can be mounted directly onto the tractor without need for rubber mounting feet.

Avoid having any moving parts (i.e. tires, treads, 3-point hitch, etc) in the line of sight of the sensor.
