Installing
the V-120 and V-120C
It is important
to install The Hornet® in a location where it has an unobstructed view of
the road surface in a forward direction at a 45o angle to the road surface with
a height of 6 inches to a maximum of 3 feet from the road to achieve maximum effectiveness.
The Hornet® may be installed on either side of the automobile or truck..
Due to the various configurations of automobile and truck designs, The Hornet®
may have to be mounted in various locations. It may be necessary to utilize the
enclosed swivel extension brackets or modify them as needed.
The Hornet®
employs Sonic Systems Wave Variance Tuning ®.The Hornet® Electronic Deer
Avoidance System, used with driver awareness, will reduce your risk of hazardous
animal/vehicle collision by more than 70%.
Important: The Hornet® must have an unobstructed view of the road surface
and be mounted in a forward direction at a 45o angle to the road surface, within
a height of 6 inches to 3 feet to achieve maximum effectiveness.
Note:
If the Hornet® is wired with reversed polarity it will not operate.
1. Find a location
behind the grill or on the chassis where the Hornet® can be mounted in a forward
direction at a 45o angle to the road surface. You may use the EZ-Mount bracket
for an easy method of mounting the Hornet®, please see our website for more
info.
2. Locate an existing hole or drill a hole to accommodate a hole in
the mounting bracket. Using the screws, lock washers and nuts provided or a self-tapping
metal screw, mount the V-120 at a 45o angle to the road surface. The mounting
bracket can be easily adjusted to achieve a 45o angle (see figure 1).
IMPORTANT:
The Hornet® will not function properly if mounted parallel to road surface.
3.
Mount the dash control switch in a convenient location.
4. Connect the wiring
harness to the control switch. Wires may be plugged onto either tab on the switch
(see figure 3). Note: The V-Series Hornet® uses neutral switching. Both of
the wires going to the toggle switch are neutral (no danger of short circuit).
5.
Route wiring harness from switch through the door jamb. Wiring harness should
be routed over rubber weather stripping making sure it is clear of door and hood
hinges. Running the wiring harness over the door weather stripping will not affect
it's performance. The rubber weather stripping acts as a cushion and in fact the
wiring harness has been designed for this purpose. The wiring harness should then
be passed through seam between the fender and hood.
6. Plug the wiring harness
into The Hornet® by means of the weather-tight connector (see figure 3).
7.
Connect the red (positive) lead to the positive terminal on the battery (see figure
3).
8. Connect the black (negative) lead to the battery or any grounded
part of the automobile (see figure 3).
9. For optional wiring directions
see figure 5.
10. Using wire ties, make sure the entire wiring harness and
4' pigtail wire are secured clear of moving objects.

Mounting Instructions
1. Mount The Hornet® in a forward direction at a 45 degree angle to
the road surface (see figure 1). This may be done with the enclosed bracket and
extensions or by using an optional P-Clamp (see accessories). We have found the
most convenient method of mounting is using a P-Clamp or similar type clamp to
suit your needs. This may be mounted on the right or left side of the frame rail
or on the engine guard, etc.
2. Install the On/Off Switch using the double
face mounting tape attached to the switch housing. The switch may be located in
any convenient location such as the underside of the gas tank, frame component,
coil cover, etc., depending on your model of motorcycle and preference.
3.
Plug the wiring harness into The Hornet® by means of the weather-tight connector
and route the wire along frame rail using wire ties. (see figure 4)
5. Connect
the red positive lead to the positive terminal on the battery. (see figure 4)
4.
Connect the black negative lead to the battery or any grounded part of the motorcycle
frame. (see figure 4)
6. For optional wiring directions. (see figure 5)
