To install the camera into the bracket, see Figure 9.
Whenever re-installing or replacing a camera –
for example, after a windshield is replaced – the
recommended position for the vehicle must be used.
Failure to install the camera in the correct position can
result in system Diagnostic Trouble Codes being set,
system performance degradation, and/or a collision
causing property damage, serious injuries, and/or
death.
The ambient temperature must be in the range of 50-100º F
(10-38º C). Thoroughly clean the area of the windshield
where the camera will be installed with a lint-free cloth and
a 50-50 water/isopropyl alcohol solution.
Make certain that there is no grease or contamination
present and that the windshield is completely dry before
installing the bracket.
Use removable tape or a non-permanent marker to indicate
where the top of the bracket will be installed. Remove the
protective film from the tape covering the adhesive on the
bracket and, using a small “torpedo” level to be sure that
it is level, install the bracket on the glass, holding firmly [a
minimum of 62 lb. (28.1 kg.) pressure] in place for ten (10)
seconds. Wait at least 20 minutes before installing
the camera, at which point a 50% bond strength is
created. The full bond between the bracket and windshield
is achieved after 72 hours.

1. Engage the top of
the camera into the
bracket

2. Rotate the camera

1. E
ngage the top of the camera into the bracket. There
are two channels in the camera that need to line up
with the bracket housing, so check to be sure that both
sides engage into the bracket.
2. W

camera, rotate the rest of the camera body towards
the bracket.
3. W
hen the camera and bracket meet, there are retaining
clips built into the bracket that will snap into place,
holding the camera in position.

IMPORTANT
Double-check that the camera is fully engaged into the
bracket by verifying that the channel between them has
the same gap all the way around. Pull gently on the
camera to check that the tabs at the top and bottom
are engaged and that there is no play. See Figure 9.

3.1 CAMERA REMOVAL

3.3 DASH SWITCHES AND LAMPS

Do not use a twisting action when releasing the tabs.
Insert the screwdrivers and pry by moving the handles
towards each other a small amount. Never twist the
screwdrivers as the tabs may break! Replace the
bracket if the tab is broken.

Each OEM has their own method for displaying the system
status to the driver, and typically there will be a switch on
the dash board to allow the driver to temporarily disable the
system. Refer to the OEM Operator’s Manual for system
indicator lamp(s) used for the FLC-20 camera, and whether
there is a bulb-check illumination at vehicle power-up. See
Figure 11 for some examples of OEM icons used at the
time this document was published.

See Figure 10. If a camera needs to be removed, locate
the two locations at the lower corners where the camera
and bracket meet.
1. Insert two medium-sized flat-blade screwdrivers into
the slots, fully seating them.
2.
Then – gently prying by moving the screwdriver
handles away from the windshield a small amount
– push against the retaining clips to release the camera.

3.2 BRACKET REMOVAL
The camera must be removed prior to this procedure. The
preferred method for removing a bracket ideally requires
two technicians. Using a heat-gun, one of the technicians
gradually applies heat to the outside of the windshield at
the location of the adhesive, while the other gently applies
a prying force to the bracket while being careful not to
damage the windshield.

Additionally, the system self-monitors and will set a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) that will typically alert
the driver using a similar icon on the dash display or by
a status lamp. See Section 2.0,Troubleshooting, for more
information.

As soon as the ideal temperature is reached, the bracket
will release. Allow the windshield to completely cool down
before cleaning the glass and installing a replacement
bracket.
When replacing brackets, use only replacements with the
same part number or a direct superceding replacement
number supplied by the OEM.
NOTE: Some OEMs may offer the windshield with
the bracket pre-installed. Contact the dealer for more
information.

3.4 MAINTENANCE

3.5 CAMERA INTERCHANGEABILITY

In normal use, the Bendix FLC-20 camera needs proper
mounting and a clean, properly maintained windshield to
ensure a clear view of the road ahead. Protect the camera
lens whenever the inside of the windshield is cleaned. You
may check that the camera’s view is clear by taking a test
image.

When replacing cameras only, use replacements with the
same part number (or a direct superceding replacement
number supplied by Bendix). After replacing the camera,
run the engine for two (2) minutes and verify no faults
are present. Once confirmed no faults are shown with
the engine running, drive the vehicle for 5 – 20 miles
(8 – 32 km) or until a speed sign is displayed by the system.

Cameras of different vehicle models and model years
must not be interchanged. The use of an incorrect
camera can lead to Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
being set, and performance degradation – including
unnecessary system interventions and the potential
for situations where interventions do not occur when
they would normally.
Cameras are designed specifically for a particular vehicle
and model. DTCs caused by relocating cameras to an
incorrect vehicle may result in the vehicle system using
the camera to be partially or fully unavailable.
If you have questions, contact the Bendix Tech Team at
1-800-AIR-BRAKE (1-800-247-2725), option 2.
Bendix FLC-20 cameras are powered by the
Mobileye ® System-on-Chip EyeQ ® processor with
state-of-the-art-vision algorithms.
