When you have found a suitable location, using
the ’L’ shaped mounting bracket as a template,
drill between 2 and 4 pilot holes into the selected
mounting surface for attaching the bracket using
either the self-tapping screws or the nuts and bolts
provided.
You will need to attach the bracket using at least
2 screws or 2 nuts and bolts to ensure that the
bracket is well secured. Remember that there is a
lot of vibration within the engine compartment
so it is very important that the S120R mounting
bracket is secured correctly.

Mounting Notes
When mounting and connecting the power cables
of the S120R always ensure that you mount the
unit and cables away from any moving parts
such as air-cooling fans or the fan belt. Always
position the unit so that device and power cables
do not interfere with any moving parts within the
engine compartment or interfer with any part
of the vehicle that could endanger you or your
passengers. Please check that all surfaces are safe
to drill through before beginning any work.
Setting Up iRadar S120R
The S120R has been designed to be mounted
under the hood, behind the vehicle’s grille or
within an air intake at the front of the vehicle if
appropriate using the ’L’ shaped bracket and screw
pack provided.
Find a suitable mounting position for the detector,
ensuring that the front of the unit has a clear
view of the road ahead and is unobstructed by
any metallic objects and that there is a sucient
mounting area to attach the ’L’ shaped xing
bracket. The S120R needs to be mounted in as
horizontal a position as possible so that it is looking
directly down the road ahead.
We recommend that you mount the detector either
behind the vehicle’s grille (if the openings of the
grille are at least 10mm in diameter) or within an air
intake at the front of the vehicle. The S120R can be
mounted anywhere at the front of the vehicle, but
for optimum performance we suggest you mount
it as close to the number plate of the vehicle as
possible.
Connecting the iRadar S120R
The S120R is powered by wiring it directly to your
vehicles 12v electrical system using the cable
supplied Firstly connect the positive side of the
cable (Red) to a switched 12v ignition supply.
This is a live that is On when the ignition is
switched On and O when the ignition is O.
The negative side of the lead (black) should
be connected to a negative ground, so can be
attached to any metal portion of the vehicles
frame. The LED will blink red if the power
connection has been completed successfully. This
LED can be located near to the point where the
power cable enters the rear of the device.
It is not advisable to connect the S120R directly
to the vehicle battery as after long periods
of vehicle inactivity the vehicle battery may
become discharged.
