SAFE MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
WARNING! PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW
THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO AVOID
PERSONAL INJURYOR DEATH:
When working on or around a vehicle, the following
general precautions should be observed at all times.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the
parking brakes, and always block the wheels.
Always wear safety glasses.
2. Stop the engine and remove ignition key when
working under or around the vehicle. When
working in the engine compartment, the engine
should be shut off and the ignition key should be
removed. Where circumstances require that the
engine be in operation, EXTREME CAUTION should
be used to prevent personal injury resulting from
contact with moving, rotating, leaking, heated or
electrically charged components.
3. Do not attempt to install, remove, disassemble or
assemble a component until you have read and
thoroughly understand the recommended
procedures. Use only the proper tools and observe
all precautions pertaining to use of those tools.
4. If the work is being performed on the vehicle’s air
brake system, or any auxiliary pressurized air
systems, make certain to drain the air pressure from
all reservoirs before beginning ANY work on the
vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with an AD-IS™
air dryer system or a dryer reservoir module, be
sure to drain the purge reservoir.
5. Following the vehicle manufacturer’s
recommended procedures, deactivate the electrical
system in a manner that safely removes all electrical
power from the vehicle.
6. Never exceed manufacturer’s recommended
pressures.
7. Never connect or disconnect a hose or line
containing pressure; it may whip. Never remove a

not attempt repairs requiring machining or welding
unless specifically stated and approved by the
vehicle and component manufacturer.
10. Prior to returning the vehicle to service, make
certain all components and systems are restored
to their proper operating condition.
11. For vehicles with Antilock Traction Control (ATC),
the ATC function must be disabled (ATC indicator
lamp should be ON) prior to performing any vehicle
maintenance where one or more wheels on a drive
axle are lifted off the ground and moving.
INTRODUCTION
The Bendix®XVision® System is an infrared (IR) night vision
system for heavy vehicles. The system increases a driver’s
night visibility three to five times beyond the normal range of
vehicle headlights, allowing earlier detection of hazards.
The system features an IR camera that detects
electromagnetic energy in the 7-14 micron wavelength region
and outputs a real-time monochrome video signal on a
display. Objects emit radiation in this wavelength region,
known as LWIR, which is proportional to temperature.
The resulting video output is a thermal map of the forward
road scene, where hotter objects appear brighter than
cooler objects.
COMPONENTS
The XVision® System (Piece No. 5010086) consists of the
following six components, described on pages 3-7:
• IR Camera Bracket Kit (Piece No. 5010078)
• CB Style Mounting Kit (Piece No. 5010081)

IR CAMERA WINDOW
Maintaining
The IR camera window, a 1.3 mm thick silicon disk, is an
optical element and should be cleaned when it becomes
dirty or filled with debris. Dirt and debris can affect the
IR camera performance.
To clean the window, use a soft, damp cloth moistened with
window cleaning solution. Shop rags and paper towels will
scratch optical surfaces.
NOTE: The IR camera heater cannot melt large
amounts of packed snow in the window area. It is
recommended that the snow be removed manually
prior to system operation. When cleaning ice or snow
from the IR camera, use a commercially available spray
deicer; do not use scrapers or sharp instruments that
may scratch or break the window.
