Cables Routing
Cables Routing
•
Before running a wire or drilling a hole, inspect the vehicle and determine how and where
you intend to mount the antenna, modem, and the input/output device.
•
Plan wire and cable routing to provide maximum protection from overheating,
battery acid, moving parts and sharp edges.
•
Keep cables away from ignition circuits to reduce noise pickup in the radio equipment.
•
Verify that the cables are of sufficient length. Do not connect two short lengths with
a splice; doing so results in power loss. Refrain from loose excess in the cables,
but leave enough slack to allow re-connection if necessary.
•
Do not run cables externally or underneath floor mats.
•
Do not locate cables where the driver or passengers can kick them or where they
can interfere with operation of the driver’s foot pedals.
•
When routing the cables, refrain from creating sharp bends or kinks.
For detailed antenna cables routing instructions, refer to the Installation
Guide supplied with each antenna.
Drilling Holes
•
Where possible, use existing holes in the firewall, the trunk wall and the
channels above or beneath the doors.
•
If you must drill holes, verify not to damage other wiring, break lines or fuel lines.
•
When drilling a hole in the roof, take care not to snag the roof liner.
•
To prevent rusting after drilling, remove all metal burrs and residue, and completely
clean the area to ensure the removal of all steel dust.
•
Insert rubber grommets in all drilled holes to protect cables, except for antennas cables.

location of PSNB and BB antennas based on several key considerations:
6802988C54-B July 2014
•
Keep a minimum distance of 7.87” (20 cm) between the LTE [BB] antennas; including
WiFi to any other antenna and any potential bystander (for bystander safely).
•
Follow the guidelines in the installation and safety manuals of the LMR
[PSNB] radios with regards to mounting locations and operation of radio in the
presence of bystanders (for bystander safety).
•
Keep a minimum spatial separation of 78” (198 cm) between the PSNB and BB LTE antennas
this separation provides a minimum of 35 dB isolation to reduce interferences.
•
Keep a minimum spatial separation of 36” (91.4 cm) between the two BB LTE (main and
diversity) antennas for potential interference reduction and for optimal Multiple Input Multiple
Output (MIMO) and Maximum Ratio diversity Combining (MRC) performance.

Procedure C-1
Planning Antenna Mounting Location on a Police Patrol Vehicle
Planning Antennas Location on a Police Patrol Vehicle (Continued)
Draw imaginary lines 7.8” (20 cm) from both sides of the vehicle's roof and trunk
cover.
Plan mounting the antennas on areas determined by step 2 and 3 i.e. not closer than
36” (91.4 cm) to any existing antenna and at least 7.8” (20 cm) from the vehicle
sides.
Plan the antennas mounting locations, taking into account the available coaxial
cables length.
If possible, plan mounting the PSNB antenna on the vehicle's trunk cover.
Define the Diversity BB antenna location on the vehicle's roof with a minimum
direct distance of 78” (198 cm) from the PSNB antenna. If a PSNB antenna is not
required, plan mounting the Diversity/WiFi antenna on the vehicle’s trunk cover.
Define the Main BB antenna location on the vehicle's roof with a minimum distance
of 36” (91.4 cm) to the Diversity BB antenna and of 78” (198 cm) to the PSNB
antenna. It is recommended to install the main antenna on the center line at the
front side of the vehicle's roof.
Some vehicles may already have a PSNB antenna mounted. For these vehicles, it is
recommended to reinstall the PSNB antenna on the vehicle's trunk cover.
