2T2000 Installation GuideT2000 Installation Guide 113. Route the cable as required, fitting grommets where necessary to prevent chafing of the cableinsulation.4. Fit the red connector to the printed circuit board socket – the connector is shaped so that it can befitted in the correct orientation only.5. Refit the cable to the cable clamp on the rear cover and slip the two nuts into the receptacles ateach end of the rear cover.6. Refit the rear cover and replace the cover screws, tightening them carefully. Do not overtightenthe screws.The control head can now be installed as follows:1. Mount the bracket for the control panel on a flat surface using the self-tapping screws supplied.2. Place the control head in the bracket, position it for a good viewing angle, and fit the 2 screws tosecure it in place.Microphone ClipThe microphone clip must be earthed (to the negative supply line) if hookswitch control of monitor-ing, scanning or call termination is to operate. Refer to the radio’s operating instructions to confirmrequirements.Ensure that the microphone clip is mounted in a position where the microphone PTT key cannot beinadvertently activated or jammed on. Installation Checks1. Plug the microphone into the socket on the lower left-hand corner of the radio’s front 2. Insert the fuses into the power lead.3. Switch on the radio and confirm that it is operational.4. Connect an in-line power meter between the radio and the antenna and measure the forwardand reflected power levels. Less than 1W should be reflected for 25W forward power. If this isnot achieved, check the installation - including antenna length.5. Make a call to another party on the radio (as described in the operating instructions).Tait Electronics has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of information in this manual. However, TaitElectronics reserves the right to update the radio and/or this manual without notice.
10 T2000 Installation GuidePower Cable1. Disconnect the vehicle’s battery unless specifically prohibited from doing so by the customer,vehicle manufacturer, agent or supplier. In this event, exercise extreme caution throughout theinstallation and fit the fuses only when the installation is complete.Caution: Always disconnect the radio’s power lead before connecting a second battery or usingpower from another vehicle (e.g. when “jump-starting” the vehicle).2. Determine where the battery leads will be routed.3. Cut the negative and the positive wires where the in-line crimp fuse holders will be placed (asclose to the battery as practicable).4. Insert each end of the negative wire into one of the in-line crimp fuse holders and crimp them toforce the metal contacts onto the wires. Terminate the wire at the battery earth.5. Repeat Step 4 for the positive wire and terminate it at the positive terminal of the battery.Caution: Prevent the power wires chafing on any metal parts.Note: T2000II radios are designed to operate from a nominal 12V negative earth supply, and requirecurrents of up to 8A. (The radios will tolerate a supply voltage range of 10.8V to 16.0V). Invehicles with a 24V electrical system (e.g. many trucks), it is essential to provide a suitablyrated 24/12V converter (e.g. Tait T2007) to isolate the radio from the battery and protect itagainst excessive voltages.6. If the economizer is to be controlled by the ignition line, terminate a wire in the power connectorand connect the ‘ignition’ wire to a +12V supply which is live only when the vehicle’s ignition isswitched ‘On’.External Wire (Horn/Hush/Emergency)The T2000II can be configured to operate the vehicle’s horn, radio or a hidden switch:1. Terminate a suitable length of wiring in the “external” port of the power connector.2. Run the free end of the external wire from the power connector to the appropriate vehicle wiring.The option’s interface is usually configured to switch or be switched in the ground state. Confirmthe exact operation in the documentation supplied with the interface unit.Remote Control Head OptionThe control head of some T2000II models may be supplied ready for mounting remotely from theradio chassis. In this case the control head should be located away from direct sunlight, and thecable connecting it to the radio should be routed away from the antenna with care taken to ensurethat the cable will not be subject to damage.If it is necessary to run the cable through a bulkhead or similar obstruction, you may unplug thecable from the control head as follows:1. Unscrew the rear of the control panel and lift off the rear cover, taking care not to lose the twonuts located on each end. 2. Disconnect the red connector from the printed circuit board socket to free the cable.T2000 Installation Guide 3TAIT ELECTRONICS LIMITEDSoftware licence agreementThis legal document is an Agreement between you, (the “Licencee”) and Tait Electronics Limited(“Tait”).

Indent the drilling positions with a centre punch and drill 4mm holes for self-tapping screws, or6mm holes for nuts and bolts. Reduce the hole size if using self-tapping screws in metal which isless than 1mm thick.3. Drill any additional holes required for cables and fit them with suitable grommets or bushings.4. Secure the metal cradle cover to the mounting points with the M5 self-tapping screws supplied,or with M5 nuts and bolts. Ensure that tightening the screws or bolts does not distort the cradle.To Reassemble the Cradle1. Reassemble the cradle by clipping one plastic side moulding to each side of the mounted metalcover (as shown in Figure 3). Take care to locate the ribs on the plastic part in the slots on theshoulders of the metal cover. They will only fit one way round.2. Take the remaining metal cover and fit it over the exposed edges of the side mouldings, againtaking care to align the ribs with the slots. Clip it securely home. Figure 3 Cradle ReassemblyAntenna InstallationRF Exposure HazardMount the antenna in such a position that no part of the human body will normally be within 1m ofit for more than a few minutes while the radio is switched on, unless there is an intervening metalscreen.Notice to 900MHz Users Only (as per FCC Requirements)To comply with FCC RF exposure limits, this product must be installed using a 4.5dBi gain antenna.This antenna must not be mounted at a location such that any person or persons can come closerthan the minimum safe distance to the antenna.The minimum safe distance is 0.82m (32.5 inches).

This enables the radio to bemounted in a discrete location, e.g. the rear luggage space, with the control head mounted in a con-venient position for the vehicle’s occupants. See the M2000 service manual, available from your Taitdealer, for details of this modification.T2000 Installation Guide 7Occupant’s SafetyCheck that the chosen locations for the radio and accessories do not endanger the vehicle occupants.Overhead mounting is not recommended, especially without an additional safety strap. Check thatthe radio may be conveniently operated when seat belts are worn.Caution: To prevent interference with vehicle electronic systems (such as ignition and anti-skiddevices), the radio, its antenna and wiring should be mounted away from these units andtheir associated cables.Allow sufficient airflow around the radio to permit adequate cooling. Once you have found a suita-ble mounting position for the radio, hold it (fitted in the cradle) in the proposed mounting positionand check there is clearance behind it for the heatsink, cables, etc. Check that the position provides alarge enough flat surface that the cradle will not be distorted.To Disassemble the Cradle1. Remove the radio from its cradle by sliding the plastic key supplied with the radio fully into theslot on the left front of the radio unit. The radio will now slide out forwards from the cradle, asshown below:Figure 1 Cradle and Key2. Disassemble the cradle by placing it on a firm surface and applying pressure down on one of themiddle ribs of the plastic side moulding with a screwdriver. This will release the ribs along thisedge from the slots in the metal cover with which they mate. A similar approach will release theother edge of the metal cover which can now be lifted clear (as shown below).Figure 2 Cradle AssemblyMounting1. Hold the drilled half of the metal cradle cover in the position chosen for the radio and use the
