Non-standard Radio Installations
The installation U-bracket described in this guide has been designed so that
there is enough airflow around the radio to provide cooling.
If a non-standard installation method is used, care must be taken that
sufficient heat can be dissipated from the heatsink fins and the ridged bottom
surface of the radio.
For this to be achieved, there must be a gap of more than 3/8 inch (10 mm)
between the bottom surface of the radio chassis and the mounting surface.
This is illustrated in the following diagram (TM8200 radio shown):

1.4

Choosing an Installation Configuration
The radio allows for different installation configurations for vehicles with
respect to ignition signal and standby current. For special configurations for
desktop and remote site installations, refer to the service manual.
The installation configurations described below are based on the following
hardware link configuration:
■

hardware link 1 (+13.8V battery power sense): fitted

■

hardware link 2 (ignition sense): fitted

For more information on the hardware links, refer to the service manual.
Direct Connection to
the Power Source

The radio’s power cable must always be connected directly to the power
source (battery).
Important

Although it is possible to connect the radio in line with the
vehicle ignition, this is not recommended, as it may draw
too much current and damage the vehicle wiring and
steering column or ignition switch. This may also cause the
supply voltage of the radio to drop below the specified level.

The radio can always be turned on and off using the on/off button,
independent of the ignition signal.
Installation without
Ignition Signal

Connect the power cable directly to the power source as described in
“Connecting the Power Cable to the Power Source” on page 17.
Note

■
■

Note

Installation with
Ignition Signal

If hardware link 1 is fitted (factory default) and the ignition signal
is not used, the standby current is approximately 50mA. To reduce
the standby current to <3mA either:
remove hardware link 1, or
connect pin 4 (AUX GPI3) to pin 15 (AGND) of the
auxiliary con0nector.
With the above two options, the radio always stays off when power is
first applied. The radio can only be turned on with the on/off button.

Connect the power cable directly to the power source as described in
“Connecting the Power Cable to the Power Source” on page 17.
Connect pin 4 (AUX GPI3) of the auxiliary connector to the ignition signal
as described in “Connecting to the Auxiliary Connector (Ignition Signal,
Emergency Switch, External Alert Devices)” on page 19.
The AUX GPI3 line must be programmed to ‘Power Sense (Ignition)’ and
active to ‘High’. For more information, refer to the online help of the
programming application.

Selecting the Mounting Position

Requirements for
Safe and Convenient
Installation

Gap Between
Radio Body
and Mounting
Surface

Ensure the mounting position complies with the following safety warnings:
Warning!! Safe radio mounting
■

Mount the radio securely so that it will not break loose in the event of a
collision. An unsecured radio is dangerous to the vehicle occupants.

■

Mount the radio and the microphone where they will not interfere with:
■ the deployment of passenger airbags
■ the vehicle operator controls
■ the vehicle operator’s view.

Note

It may be necessary to mount the radio upside down to maintain a
gap of more than 3/8 inch (10 mm) between the bottom surface of
the radio body and the mounting surface.

Inspect the vehicle and determine the safest and most convenient position
for mounting the radio. Make sure that there is sufficient clearance behind
the radio for the heatsink and cables.
IP54 Protection
Class Considerations

The radio fulfils the requirements of the IP54 protection class.
Important

However, do not mount the radio in areas where it can be
temporarily submerged from an accumulation of water or
other liquids (e.g. when using a high-pressure
cleaning device).

The IP54 protection class does not apply when:

14

■

the control head is removed from the radio body

■

the bungs are removed from the auxiliary connector or the cavity for the
external options connector (fitting an auxiliary connector or external
options connector will not restore the IP54 protection class)

■

the programming connector cover seal is not installed (blank
control head)

■

the RJ45 connector bungs are not installed (RJ45 control head)

■

the microphone grommet is not installed.

2.3

Mounting the U-Bracket
The U-bracket can be used to install the radio on the dashboard or on any
sufficiently flat surface (e.g. cabin floor or trunk). The U-bracket can be
mounted using the self-drilling screws and washers provided in the
installation kit, or nuts and bolts (not included).
Caution

Although an industrial-strength recloseable fastening system
can be used to support the installation, for safety reasons Tait
does not recommend this as a mounting option.

Important

When mounting the radio on a surface, check whether the
mounting screws will screw into material providing
sufficient strength. Reinforce the mounting surface,
if required.

1.

If the U-bracket is being mounted over a curved surface, bend the
tabs at the bottom of the U-bracket slightly to match the
surface shape.

2.

Hold the U-bracket in the position chosen for the radio and use the
mounting holes as a template to mark the mounting locations.
Use at least four screws to install the U-bracket.

Tip

The screws provided are self-drilling. For more precise positioning,
predrill ∅1/8 inch (3 mm) pilot holes for self-drilling screws.
Reduce the hole size in metal that is less than 1/32 inch
(1 mm) thick.

Important

Ensure that drilling at the selected points will not damage
existing wiring.

3.

Drill any holes required for cables and install suitable grommets or
bushings in the holes.

4.

Screw the U-bracket in the chosen mounting position using the selfdrilling screws and washers provided. When tightening the screws,
ensure that this does not distort the U-bracket.

2.4

Installing the Antenna
This section provides information on installing an external antenna within
the RF exposure limits.
Install the external antenna according to the antenna manufacturer’s
instructions. Good quality 50 Ω coaxial cable must be used, such as RG58
or UR76.
Important

Route the cable in a manner that minimizes:
■

coupling into the electronic control systems of
the vehicle

■

coupling of electric vehicle systems, such as alternators,
into the radio.

Avoid sharp bends in the cable. These distort the cable and
alter its electrical characteristics.
Warning!! RF exposure hazard
To comply with FCC RF exposure limits:

Terminating the
Antenna Cable

1.

Mount the antenna at a location such that no person or persons can
come closer than 35 inches (0.9m) to the antenna.

2.

For 40W/50W radios:
■ VHF radios must be installed using an antenna mounted centrally
on the vehicle roof, with a gain of 2.15dBi or 5.15dBi.
■ UHF radios must be installed using an antenna mounted either
centrally on the roof with a gain of 2.15dBi or 5.65dBi, or
centrally mounted on the trunk with a gain of 5.65dBi.

3.

For 25W radios, the radio must be installed using an externally
mounted antenna with a gain of either 2.15dBi or 5.15dBi.

1.

Run the free end of the coaxial cable to the radio’s mounting position
and cut it to length, allowing approximately 8 inches (20 cm) excess
at the radio end.

Important

Selecting the Power
Source

This radio is designed to operate from a nominal 12V
negative ground supply and may draw up to 15A of current.
The radio will tolerate a supply voltage range of 10.8V to
16.0V at the radio.

In passenger vehicles, the radio is always connected directly to the battery
using the power cable provided.
In trucks, where direct connection to the battery is often not possible, the
radio can be connected to a suitable terminal inside the fuse box that is
connected directly to the battery.

24V-to-12V
Converter

In vehicles with a supply voltage larger than 16.0V, such as many trucks, it
is essential to provide a suitably rated 24V-to-12V converter. This will
isolate the radio from excessive battery voltage and provide the correct DC
operating conditions. Note that most 24V-to-12V converters already fitted
are not rated sufficiently.

Standby Current

When connecting the radio to the battery without using the ignition signal
as described on page 21, the standby current is approximately 50mA.
When using the ignition signal to turn off the radio, the standby current is
reduced to <3mA.
Tip

TM8100/TM8200 Installation Guide
© Tait Electronics Limited July 2005

To reduce the standby current from 50mA to <3 mA without using
the ignition signal, connect pin 4 (AUX GPI3) and pin 15 (GND)
of the auxiliary connector.

Installing the Radio

Connecting the
Power Cable

Important

Although it is possible to connect the radio in line with the
vehicle ignition, this is not recommended, as it may draw
too much current and damage the vehicle wiring and
steering column or ignition switch. This may also cause the
supply voltage of the radio to drop below the specified level.

Important

Disconnecting the vehicle’s battery may cause problems
with some electronic equipment, such as vehicle alarms,
engine management systems, and in-car entertainment
systems. Check that the vehicle owner has the necessary
information to make all electronic equipment function
correctly after battery reconnection.

Important

If the battery is not disconnected, exercise extreme caution
during the installation and install the fuses only when the
installation is ready to be checked. For more information,
refer to “Checking the Installation” on page 25.

1.

Disconnect the vehicle’s battery unless specifically prohibited from
doing so by the customer, vehicle manufacturer, agent, or supplier.

Important

Route the cable in a manner that minimizes coupling of
electric vehicle systems such as alternators into the radio.

Important

Protect the power cable from engine heat, sharp edges and
from being pinched or crushed.

2.

Run the power cable between the radio’s mounting position and the
power source and cut it to length, allowing approximately 8 inches
(20 cm) excess at the radio end.

3.

Plug the power cable into the power connector of the radio.

4.

Cut the negative and the positive wires where the in-line fuse holders
will be placed (as close to the power source as possible).

Important

5.

Insert each end of the negative wire into each of the fuse
crimp-terminals and crimp them to force the metal contacts onto
the wires.

6.

Push the two crimp-terminals into the clear plastic fuse cover. Close
the cover while the next steps are completed.

7.

Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the positive wire.

8.

Connect the negative wire to the battery ground terminal

9.

Connect the positive wire to the battery positive terminal.

Important

18

Do not install the fuses until the installation is ready to be
checked. For more information, refer to “Checking the
Installation” on page 25.

2.6

Connecting a Remote Speaker
If a high-power remote speaker is required, Tait recommends using:
■

TMAA10-06 high-power remote speaker for 40W/50W radios

■

TMAA10-03 high-power remote speaker for 25W radios.

If a different speaker is used, receptacles for the speaker pins of the power
connector are provided with the installation kit.
Connect the speaker to pins 2 (SPK–) and 3 (SPK+) of the power
connector described on page 17.
For more information, refer to the installation instructions provided with
the speaker, or to the relevant section of the service manual.

2.7

Connecting to the Auxiliary Connector (Ignition Signal,
Emergency Switch, External Alert Devices)
The auxiliary connector can be used to connect external devices and signals
that are typically connected to a radio. These devices and signals include:

Auxiliary Connector

■

the ignition signal to power up and power down the radio

■

an emergency switch to power up the radio (if required) and then enter
emergency mode

■

external alert devices.

The radio’s auxiliary connector is a 15-way standard-density
D-range socket.
Note

TM8100/TM8200 Installation Guide

Shielding

If the auxiliary cable is longer than 4 feet (1m) it is recommended that the
cable and connector backshell are shielded. Figure 2.5 shows the
recommended shielding arrangement. The earth braid wire (bare copper)
and aluminum foil should only be earthed at the radio end of the cable.

Ignition Signal

The ignition signal can be used to power up and power down the radio.
This will turn the radio off when the ignition key is off to avoid flattening
the battery, and will turn the radio on or return to its previous state (as
programmed) when the ignition key is on.
Note

A TMAA04-05 ignition sense kit is available. The kit comprises a
mating plug for the radio’s auxiliary connector and a 13 foot (four
metre) length of cable to connect to the vehicle’s ignition signal.

Note

The AUX GPI3 line must be programmed to ‘Power Sense
(Ignition)’ and active to ‘High’. For more information, refer to the
online help of the programming application.
Connect the ignition signal to pin 4 (AUX GPI3) of the
auxiliary connector.

Note

Emergency Switch

The logic thresholds for AUX GPI3 are based on 3V3 levels.
However, AUX GPI3 can be connected directly to a +13.8V
ignition signal.

The radio allows for connection of an emergency switch to any input line
to enter the emergency mode. If connected to the AUX GPI2 input line,
the radio can also use ‘emergency power sense’ to power up the radio to
enter the emergency mode.
Note

TM8100/TM8200 Installation Guide
© Tait Electronics Limited July 2005

The selected input line must be programmed to ‘Enter Emergency
Mode’ and active to ‘Low’. To use ‘emergency power sense’,
hardware link LK3 must be fitted (factory default), and AUX GPI2

Installing the Radio

21

must be used. For more information, refer to the service manual
and the online help of the programming application.
Connect a normally open switch between the pin of the input line
(pin 5 for AUX GPI2) and pin 15 (AGND) of the
auxiliary connector.
External Alert Device

The radio allows for output to external alert devices using the digital GPIO
lines of the auxiliary connector and the internal options connector.
AUX GPIO4 can be fitted with a power MOSFET (Q707) to directly
connect external alert devices (e.g. flashing light, buzzer, horn relay) to the
radio. Also, resistor R768 must be removed.
Important

Note

While the MOSFET is rated at 12 A (with heat sink), the
maximum allowable current of the connector and radio’s
earthing system is 2 A. Therefore, a horn must not be
connected directly to the radio. A horn relay must be used.

The selected output line must be programmed to ‘External Alert 1
or 2’, active to ‘Low’, and signal sate to ‘Momentary’.
Connect the external alert device to the pin of the output line (pin 10
for AUX GPIO4) and pin 8 (+13V8 SW) of the auxiliary connector
(or a different positive battery connection).
This means that the negative side of the alert device must be connected to AUX GPIO4 and the positive side to pin 8 (+13V8 SW).
The external alert device must be capable of accepting a voltage of
between 10V and 18V.

2.10

Checking the Installation
Warning!! Danger of fire. The radio’s protection mechanisms rely
on the correct fuses on both the negative and positive
power supply leads being present. Failure to fit the
correct fuses may result in fire or damage to the radio.
The 40W/50W radios use 20A fuses; the 25W radios
use 10A fuses. For part numbers of the fuses, refer to
“Checking the Equipment for Completeness” on
page 9.
1.

Insert the fuses into the power leads.

2.

Switch on the radio to confirm that it is operational, but do
not transmit.

3.

Connect an in-line power meter between the radio and the antenna.

4.

Transmit and measure the forward and reflected power levels.
Less than 4% of the forward power should be reflected. If this is not
achieved, check the installation, including the antenna length.

5.

Start reducing the length of the antenna in steps of 0.1 inches to
0.2 inches (2 to 5 mm). Measure the power levels at each step.

Important
6.

2.11

Some antennas are pre-tuned and must not be cut. Check
with the manufacturers’ instructions.

Once the reflected power levels are within tolerance, make a call to
another party on the radio.

Blank Control Head
The blank control head on the TM8105 radio has a 9-way D-range plug on
the control head, for programming.
