STP8000 Series CAR KIT  INSTALLATION & USER GUIDE   2 sepura  Information The  STP8000  car  kit  is  designed  for  12 V  negative  earth systems.  In  vehicles  with  a  24 V  supply,  an  approved converter must be used, NOT a 12 V tap on the battery. The  equipment  is  to  be  installed  in  accordance  with  the requirements  of  local  radio communications  authorities and/or Health and Safety regulations. 12 V supply leads, antenna cables and speaker wiring is to be  routed  as  far  away  as  possible  from  gas  or  fuel  lines. This reduces the risk to safety in the event of a leak. The car kit should be positioned so that it does not obstruct, or become at risk of damage from, any occupant or carried items. All cabling should be hidden and not left loose.  Radio Software For correct operation of the STP8000 with the car kit, the STP8000 must have radio software of v9.0 greater. INSTALLATION This installation guide provides basic installation information and  is  not  intended  to  be  definitive,  as  different  types  of vehicles will require different ways installation arrangements.  The installer must ensure that fixing screws of an appropri-ate length are used (some installations may require different screws). The information given here is general and for guid-ance only.  The  installation  must  comply  with  in-country  CODE  OF PRACTICE  for  the  installation  of  mobile  radio  and  related ancillary equipment in land based vehicles — e.g. FCS1362 (formally MPT1362)see http:// www.fcs.org.uk. WARNING 1  Disconnect the vehicle’s battery before commencing installation (be aware of effect on public broadcast radio security code, alarm systems and some engine man-agement systems). 2  Do not smoke, or use naked flames, when working near the vehicle’s fuel system. 3  Ensure that fuel lines, hydraulic lines and existing cables are not damaged during installation. 4  Ensure that the installation does not impede the normal operation of the vehicle, including the operation of any safety device, e.g., airbags and seatbelt tensioners. 5  Speed control, fuel injection, anti-lock braking, naviga-tion, air bag and other electronic systems are relatively immune to RF interference. However, if difficulty is experienced, or faulty operation suspected, consult the vehicle’s dealer.  6  This equipment is suitable for 12 V negative earth vehi-cles only. Use on other supply systems will result in damage to the equipment. 7  No part of the equipment should be mounted such that injury to the occupants is likely during an accident. 8  Prolonged operation of the radio in the car kit with the vehicle engine switched off, could drain the vehicle’s battery. 9  Prolonged operation at high volume levels may cause the interface unit to become hot. Cradle The  cradle  should  be  attached  to  the  vehicle’s  interior  in  a convenient  position  using  the  mounting  brackets.  The location  of  the  cradle  should  allow  the  user  unrestricted access to the radio’s controls. The radio’s display should be visible  to  the  user  but  not  distracting  when  driving.  The cradle  should  not  prevent  the  user  from  controlling  or operating the vehicle.  Interface Unit Attach  the  interface  unit  to  the  vehicle’s  interior,  using,  if appropriate, the four 25mm self-tapping screws provided.  The interface unit should be mounted on a firm surface in-side the passenger compartment, within reach of all cabling. The  data  socket  should  be  easily  accessible.  Connect  the lead  from  the  cradle  to  the  socket  labelled  ―RADIO‖.  Con-nect the vehicle harness to the socket labelled ―AUTO‖. Note: Do not install the interface unit in engine compartment. Cables & Connectors Ensure the cables due not rub against sharp edges and are not subjected to undue stress.  Power Connection (thick red and black wires)    The positive power line must include a fuse as close as possible to the power source.  The negative power line must be connected close to the battery-to-vehicle-body connexion (not directly to the battery) and must not include a fuse.    It is recommended that the power cable runs are kept as short as possible.   The blue wire provides an ignition sensing input.  If ignition switching is required, trim the wire to length so that it can be wired, via a fuse, to the ignition switch, using the splicing connector provided.  Otherwise this wire must be connected, via a fuse, to the permanent positive supply.  A fuse must always be fitted close to where the wire is connected.  Fuse Ratings Positive supply 4 A Ignition sense 1 A  The  ring  terminated  wires  are  for  direct  connection  to  the vehicle battery (do not connect at this stage); supply should not be taken from any other point.   Feed the bullet terminated free ends through the bulkhead, using a grommet to protect the wires. Locate the free ends under  the  dashboard  and  connect  to  the  main  wiring  har-ness supplied with the car kit. Connect the ring terminals to the vehicle battery when the rest of the installation (see fol-lowing sections) is complete and satisfactory. Remote Microphone The  remote  microphone  is  a  high  performance  noise  can-celling  type.  For  best  results  it  should  be  directed  towards
STP8000 Series CAR KIT  INSTALLATION & USER GUIDE   3 sepura the user and located at a distance of (15 – 25) cm from the user’s mouth. It is primarily intended for use in cars and light goods vehicles. The recommended positions are on the ―A‖ pillar  (for  driver  only)  or  centre-front  of  roof  (for  driver  and front passenger). For larger vehicles, greater distances can be  accommodated  by  increasing  the  remote  microphone gain via the customising file in the radio. However, the noise and echo cancelling performance of the car kit may be com-promised. Mount  the  microphone  using  the  self-adhesive  Velcro™ mounting  supplied.  Alternatively,  for  rugged  applications, secure  the  base  with  self-tapping  screws.  Plug  the  micro-phone into the jack socket labelled ―MIC‖.  PTT  The PTT keypad should be mounted to be convenient to the user when in a normal driving position. Plug the PTT into the jack  socket  labelled  ―PTT‖.  Mount  the  PTT  using  the  self-adhesive Velcro™ mounting supplied. Loudspeaker Installation The  loudspeaker  should  be  positioned  so  that  it  is  unob-structed and clearly audible by the user, but not close to, or in  line  of  sight  of,  the  remote  microphone.  The  recom-mended  position  is  in  the  passenger  footwell,  facing  the driver. Connect the loudspeaker lead to the 2-pin flying connector on the vehicle harness. Antenna Installation Follow  the  manufacturer’s  instructions  supplied  with  the antenna. Connect the BNC plug to the flying lead from the cradle  and  secure  the  leads.  (Important  note:  Refer  to SPR-DOC-03060 for details of antenna location on vehicles) Ignition Sense Input (blue wire) If  used,  remove the  crimp  terminal from  the  blue  wire  and connect it to the ignition switched supply. If not used, plug the crimp terminal into the spare receptacle in the plug housing of the main wiring harness supplied with the  car  kit.  Fold  (do  not  coil)  the  spare  wire  together  and secure. External Mute Output (pink wire) If the vehicle has an entertainment system with a standard external mute control, connect this output directly to it. Dur-ing a call, the output switches to ground and the entertain-ment system is muted. Use the appropriate connector for the entertainment system installed. If the entertainment system has no mute control, the exter-nal mute output can be used to enable a relay to control the loudspeakers.  When  enabled,  the  output  is  switched  to ground  and  protected  by  an  internal  re-settable  0.5 A  fuse which resets automatically when the fault is cleared.  If not used, fold (do not coil) the spare wire together. Insu-late the free end and secure.  External Alert Output (yellow wire) If local regulations permit, this output can be used to enable a relay (not for direct connection) to control the vehicle horn or other external alerting device. During a call alert, this out-put  switches  to  ground  and  the  alerting  device  is  audible outside the vehicle. It is protected by an internal re-settable 0.5 A fuse which resets when the fault is cleared. If not used, fold (do not coil) the spare wire together. Insu-late the free end and secure. IMPORTANT To avoid possible damage to the interface unit, check all wiring for short circuits to chassis, and other errors, before power is connected. OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES Handset/Fist  Microphone  (or  Speaker  microphone)  & Soft Key Mount  the  rest  so  that  it  is  easily  accessible  to  the  user. Place the accessory on its rest. Plug the accessory into the RJ45  socket  labelled  ―HANDSET  /  FIST  MIC‖.  For  strain relief, fit the ―P‖ clip to the cable and secure with one of the interface unit fixing screws.  The soft key is located at the top of the fist microphone. Alarm Foot-switch (Soft Key 3) This item is not supplied by Sepura plc. A suitable switch will be terminated in a 3.5 mm stereo jack plug with the switch connected between the sleeve and the tip and the ring open circuit.  The  alarm  will  be  activated when  the  switch  closes (Z < 100 Ω).    OPERATION  SAFETY WARNING  DO  NOT  operate  your  STP8000  radio  in  an  explosive atmosphere.

Receive  audio  is  amplified  and  fed  to  the  car  kit loudspeaker.  The  user’s  voice  is  picked  up  by  the  hands-free  remote  microphone,  which  should,  ideally,  be  facing towards the user.  Volume Control Set  the  loudspeaker  volume  with  the  radio’s  volume control.  Half-Duplex Calls using Remote Microphone & PTT Press  the  external  PTT  button  and  speak  in  a  normal conversational manner; release to listen.  Full-Duplex Calls using the Remote Microphone  Both  parties  can  speak  and  listen  at  the  same  time  with hands  free.  Ensure  that  the  radio  volume  is  set  to  the minimum comfortable level. Calls using Optional Accessories A fist microphone may be used with the car kit. The car kit automatically  senses  which  is  in  use  and  functions  as appropriate.  Fist Microphone When the fist microphone is lifted, the remote microphone is automatically muted, but the loudspeaker remains in use. Press  the  PTT  button  on  the  fist  microphone  to  talk  and release  to  listen.  Any  alert  tones  produced  by  the  radio during transmit will override the loudspeaker muting and be audible.   Fist Microphone soft key The soft key of the fist microphone, invokes the assigned function programmed in the STP8000 being used.   Private/Public Mode Key (on radio, if programmed) During calls, this key switches between accessories    (e.g., transfer from handset to handsfree).       Alarm Foot-switch  Press the foot-switch to initiate an emergency call.  Data Communication An  RS232  serial  data  port  and  an  USB  serial  port  is provided  in  the  interface  unit.  Connect  a  PC  or  data terminal  (with  appropriate  application  software)  to  the socket  labelled  ―DATA‖  via  a  standard  9-way  serial  lead (not null modem). Follow the instructions supplied with the application  software.  Disconnect  lead  from  interface  unit when not in use. Optional Functions The following functions are provided as standard and will be connected if specified prior to installation.   Ignition Sense  If connected, the  radio  will sense the state  of the ignition switch. When the ignition is turned off, a configurable timer is started. If the timer is set to zero, turning off the ignition switch switches off the radio. If the timer is not set to zero, the following message is displayed and the timer started. Press any key to stop switch off.  Pressing any key will reset the timer. When the timer period expires, the radio will switch off and any unread messages will be lost. If the ignition switch is turned on before the timer expires, normal operation will resume. The timer parameters are set in the radio configuration. Charging is not halted by switching off the radio.  External Mute  If  connected,  the  vehicle  entertainment  system  will  be muted during calls.  External Alert  If connected, the vehicle’s horn, or other external sounder, repeats incoming call alerts for audibility outside the vehicle in  noisy  environments.  Note:  This  function  must  not  be used if local regulations do not permit its use. Battery Charging The battery charges whether the STP8000 is switched on or off and terminates automatically. The indicator LED on  the radio  glows  orange  during  charging,  green  when  charged and red  under  fault conditions  — see  STP8000  radio  user guide for further information.
