Escort Passport SR1 User manual

Important Note
1This product must be installed by a professional.
Please read the installation warnings inside.
2Please read this entire installation sheet before
beginning your installation.
3To ensure the high-performance radar and laser
detection that Escort detectors are known for, the
mounting location of the front receiver is critical.
Although Radar signals will go through some types
of plastic,Laser signals will not.It is very important
to mount the Front Receiver in a level position that
gives it a clear“view”of the road ahead.
The metal mounting brackets provided have several
different mounting holes,and can be used for most
vehicles.However,additional mounting hardware
may be required for some installations.
Installation Instructions for Passport SR1
For Professional Installation Only

Installation
1Slide 3”section of heat-shrink tubing over
connector,then connect receiver cable to
cable from Front Receiver. (Fit connectors
together,then twist large ring until it clicks.)
Do not shrink the heat-shrink tubing until
the detector is installed and operational.
2Route cable to firewall,secure with zip-ties.
3Route cable into interior.If there is not a
suitable opening,drill a 13/32”or 7/16”
diameter hole (slightly larger than 3/8”).
4Route wire inside interior and plug into
jack labeled“Receiver”on EZ-Interface.
5Pull grommet (provided on cable) into
position from vehicle interior to seal hole.
Use silicone sealant (not included) if
necessary for complete sealing.
Think first:
• Connector attaching to Front Receiver
cable must be positioned in a dry location
under hood,away from water spray.
• Only drill hole after thoroughly investigating
location and ensuring no other wires,hoses,
or other components will be damaged.
• Keep cable and connector away from
moving parts and hot surfaces (radiator,
heater hoses,exhaust components).
• Shielded cable– coil excess,do not splice.
Installation
1Determine best location for Receiver. The
best location is usually under the bumper
or just inside the grill.The unit must be
mounted with the arrows pointing forward.
(The radar antenna and laser sensors
“look”out the front of this unit,so it must
have a clear“view”of the road ahead.)
2Mark location,drill pilot holes in vehicle if
necessary.
3Mount large metal brackets to vehicle
with 4 sheet metal screws and lockwashers.
4Mount Receiver to large brackets with
four 8-32 machine screws and lockwashers.
5Route wire up to a dry location under hood
for the connector,secure with zip-ties.
Think first:
• Do not drill holes in Receiver.Mount only
to the preattached side and rear brackets.
• Only drill holes in vehicle after thoroughly
investigating location and ensuring no
other wires,hoses,or other components
will be damaged.
• Keep cable and connector away from
moving parts and hot surfaces (radiator,
heater hoses,exhaust components).
• Shielded cable– do not splice.
