Further dissemination or disclosure of this information is strictly prohibited without the written permission of BAE Systems. 1.0 Introduction The First InterComm™ System (FICS) allows first responders from different agencies at an emergency incident to readily communicate with one another, even though their radios operate on different frequencies; i.e., VHF, UHF or 800 MHz systems, both digital and analog. The FICS can accommodate any new communication technologies, including operating systems in the 700-MHz band. Only one vehicle from each on-scene department is required to have an installed FICS unit to enable linking dissimilar radio networks. There is no requirement for special equipment, stand-alone towers, or other costly infrastructure. An optional capability included with the FICS is Talk Group Software that allows the Incident Commander (IC), using a standard laptop computer with Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) capability, to monitor system status and to control communications. FICS Talk Group Software significantly enhances the system, but is not required for voice interoperability; the latter is provided by the VCA100 and associated antennas alone. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has designated the FICS as a Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology under the SAFETY Act. The FICS Supports the National Incident Management System (NIMS), and is included in the Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism (MIPT) “Responders Knowledge Base” and the InterAgency Board's (IAB) “Standard Equipment List”. Finally, it is important to note that using the FICS does not require changes to Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). Rather, it provides day-to-day voice interoperability at an incident scene, and offers improved coordination of on-site first responder personnel. This installation guide contains information for the proper installation of the FICS. We strongly recommended that the system be installed in accordance with this guide, understanding that concessions may be needed for specific vehicles. This guide assumes that the system installer is qualified, familiar with the intended vehicle, and possesses the proper tools. 2.0 First InterComm™ System Description The FICS (Figure 1 below) consists of: • VCA100 unit, matched to user’s existing radio network frequencies • Vehicle-mounted Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) antenna • Vehicle-mounted Land Mobile Radio (LMR) antenna, matched to user’s existing radio network frequencies • Remote On/Off switch • FICS Talk Group Software (optional capability)

First InterComm™ System VCA100 Installation Guide Page 12 A29799 PROPRIETARY INFORMATION: This document contains trade secrets and commercial or financial information that is the property of BAE Systems Electronics and Integrated Solutions (E&IS). Further dissemination or disclosure of this information is strictly prohibited without the written permission of BAE Systems. 3.3 System Component Locations WARNING WHEN SELECTING LOCATIONS FOR FIRST INTERCOMM™ SYSTEM COMPONENTS, AVOID HIGH FREQUENCY (HF) NOISE PRODUCERS AND DO NOT RUN DC POWER FEEDS TO THE VCA100 PARALLEL TO IGNITION CIRCUITS, ELECTRONIC MODULES, OR SIMILAR ITEMS. AVOID RUNNING POWER LEADS IN PARALLEL WITH VEHICLE WIRING OVER LONG DISTANCES. 3.3.1 VCA100 The VCA100 has no operator interfaces other than an activity indicator. Also, the unit has no fan; it is convection cooled and does not require any special ventilation. However, it is not environmentally sealed and must be installed in a protected area where it will not be exposed to any fluids (THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE). The optimum location is one in which the VCA100 is out of the way, its face plate and cable connections protected as much as possible, and there are at least six inches of space around the VCA100 to allow air circulation. Additionally, attempt to provide line of sight to the activity indicator. Plan for cable management and strain relief loops for the cables. Cable ties and mounts are needed to prevent cable movement and vibration. 3.3.2 WiFi Antenna The WiFi antenna location has highest priority because the antenna’s relatively short range has the greatest effect on system performance. Mount the antenna as high as possible on the cab roof, and as close as possible to the vehicle’s centerline to provide 360-degree coverage. The antenna requires a metal ground plane to achieve its full 5dBi of gain. We recommend keeping the antenna at least 12 inches away from any light bars or other antennas. The maximum designed distance from the VCA100 to the WiFi antenna is 14 feet, the standard cable length that comes with the antenna. Extensions are not recommended since they will significantly reduce the WiFi range. If an extension cannot be avoided substitute the antenna mount with a cable of sufficient length (no splices or adapters) and equivalent or better loss specifications at 2.4 GHz than what is supplied. Certain vehicles do not allow locating the antenna in the center or center-rear of the roof. In this case, the next best antenna location is on the direct center of the trunk lid. Be aware, however, that this location will degrade the WiFi range. The mounting area under the antenna must be a flat, metallized ground plane.

Further dissemination or disclosure of this information is strictly prohibited without the written permission of BAE Systems. 3.3.3 Land Mobile Radio Antenna The LMR antenna must match the frequency of the specific VCA100 model being installed on the vehicle. Many LMR antennas will require cutting to ensure proper VSWR match on the customer’s frequency. Ensure that the new LMR antenna is not installed in close proximity to any existing LMR antennas. We recommend keeping the antenna at least 12 inches away from any light bars, antennas, or other roof-mounted equipment. 3.3.4 Power and Fuse The vehicle’s main power source is connected to the VCA100 by the DC power cable (red) that passes through an inline fuse. Locate the fuse as close as possible to the power source and splice it in with weatherproof butt splices (SUPPLIED). Mount the fuse assembly (Figure 5) to facilitate maintenance. Splice the power line to the VCA100 power harness (SUPPLIED) using the step-down splice (SUPPLIED) to accommodate the dissimilar wire gauges. Figure 5. In-Line Fuse 3.3.5 Manual Switch A second, low current, power line (orange) must run through a cab-mounted manual toggle switch to the VCA100 power connector SWITCH input (pin 2). This switch is not supplied in the deliverable installation kit because User-specific vehicle installations vary; i.e., switch location is a function of User requirements and vehicle constraints. An illuminated manual switch, appropriately labeled, is recommended. Connect the switch to a 1-ampere fuse-protected vehicle power source.
