BENDIX SD-61-4933 Manuel D’Utilisation

Parallel with 

the Ground

The Bendix BlindSpotter Operator Display Unit (ODU) 

should be mounted on a windshield pillar for the side of 

the vehicle being monitored - see Figure 6.  

Mount on 

Windshield 

Pillar

The Bendix BlindSpotter Operator Display Unit has a 

bracket that is designed to be bent up to fifteen (15) degrees 

in order to optimize the angle for the driver’s view.

See Figure 2.  The effective range is approximately ten (10) 

feet out from the vehicle and the detection zone extends 

seven and a half feet forward and backward from the 

sensor.

The Bendix

™

 BlindSpotter

®

 Side Object Detection Sensor 

must be mounted on the side of the vehicle, between 22 

and 36 inches from the ground and at least 18 inches rear 

of the side view mirror (See Figure 4).
Note: To reduce the possibility of the sensor detecting 

objects mounted to the vehicle — like the steps or fuel 

tanks — make sure the face of the sensor extends out a 

minimum of 5/16 of an inch further than any other object 

within six (6) inches of the sensor’s body.

The Bendix BlindSpotter Sensor should be mounted on a 

vertical surface and oriented so that the embossed logo 

is parallel to the ground — you may use the lower two 

mounting holes as a guide - see Figure 5.  Orientation is 

crucial for proper operation due to the radar’s polarized 

beam profile.
