Installation of your Radio
Installation Planning
To ensure trouble-free, efficient installation, inspect the vehicle and determine how and
where the antenna, radio and accessories are to be mounted.
It is possible to remote-mount the T2020II, T2040II and T2050II models as these have
alphanumeric keypads, with the control head separate from the radio chassis. This enables
the radio to be mounted in a discrete location, e.g. the rear luggage space, with the control
head mounted in a convenient position for the vehicle’s occupants. See the M2000 service
manual, available from your Tait dealer, for details of this modification.
Occupant’s Safety
Check 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 that the radio may be conveniently operated when seat belts are worn.
Caution:
To prevent interference with vehicle electronic systems (such as ignition and
anti-skid devices), the radio, its antenna and wiring should be mounted away from these
units and their associated cables.
Allow sufficient airflow around the radio to permit adequate cooling. Once you have found a
suitable mounting position for the radio, hold it (fitted in the cradle) in the proposed mount-
ing position and check there is clearance behind it for the heatsink, cables, etc. Check that the
position provides a large enough flat surface that the cradle will not be distorted.
To Disassemble the Cradle
1 Remove the radio from its cradle by sliding the plastic key supplied with the radio fully
into the slot on the left front of the radio unit. The radio will now slide out forwards
from the cradle, as shown below:

2 Disassemble the cradle by placing it on a firm surface and applying pressure down on
one of the middle ribs of the plastic side moulding with a screwdriver. This will release
the ribs along this edge from the slots in the metal cover with which they mate. A
similar approach will release the other edge of the metal cover which can now be lifted
clear (as shown below).
Figure 2: Cradle Disassembly
Mounting
1 Hold the drilled half of the metal cradle cover in the position chosen for the radio and
use the four cradle cover mounting holes as a template to mark the locations for
drilling. Ensure that drilling at the selected points will not damage existing wiring.
2 Indent the drilling positions with a centre punch and drill 4mm holes for self-tapping
screws, or 6mm holes for nuts and bolts. Reduce the hole size if using self-tapping
screws in metal which is less 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 Cradle
1 Reassemble the cradle by clipping one plastic side moulding to each side of the
mounted metal cover (as shown in Figure 3). Take care to locate the ribs on the plastic
part in the slots on the shoulders of the metal cover. They will only fit one way round.
![](/img.php?id=165239&img=bg7.png)

2 Take the remaining metal cover and fit it over the exposed edges of the side mould-
ings, again taking care to align the ribs with the slots. Clip it securely home.
Figure 3: Cradle Reassembly
Antenna Installation
1 Terminate one end of the coaxial cable at the antenna. Good quality 50 ohm coaxial
cables such as RG58 or UR76 are suitable. Run the free end of the coaxial cable to the
radio’s mounting position and cut it to length allowing 200mm to 300mm excess.
2 Terminate the free end of the cable with the BNC crimp plug supplied, as shown in
Figure 4:
- Fit the crimp sleeve over the cable sheath.
- Trim the outer sheath from the cable to 15mm.
- Trim the braid to 8.5mm.
- Trim the dielectric to 11mm. (Take extreme care not to ‘nick’ the centre conductor
with the trimming device.)
- Fit the male pin onto the centre conductor with the shoulder pressed against the
end of the dielectric.
To comply with FCC RF exposure limits, this product must be
installed using a 4.5 dBi gain antenna.
![](/img.php?id=165239&img=bg8.png)
5
- Crimp the male pin onto the centre conductor.
- Press the assembly firmly into the rear of the plug. (Check that no braid gets
trapped between the dielectric and the inside of the plug.)
- Slide the crimp sleeve over the braid and press against the shoulder of the plug.
- Crimp the crimp sleeve onto the braid and plug body.

Wiring
External Speaker
Some T2000II models are fitted with internal speakers. However it is possible to fit an
external speaker if required, by terminating a twin wire in the power connector. To disable
the internal speaker, cut the link on the power connector as shown in Figure 5.
T2000II models with no internal speaker must have an external speaker fitted. The power
connector comes pre-wired with the speaker cable.
Mount the external speaker in a convenient location close to the operator. Run the free end
of the speaker wire to the speaker, and connect it to the speaker plug.

Power Cable
1 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 the installation and fit the fuses only when the installation is
complete.
Caution:
Always disconnect the radio’s power lead before connecting a second battery
or using power 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 (as close 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 to force 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 require currents of up to 8A. (The radios will tolerate a supply voltage range of 10.8V
to 16.0V). In vehicles with a 24V electrical system (e.g. many trucks), it is essential to
provide a suitably rated 24/12V converter (e.g. Tait T2007) to isolate the radio from the
battery and protect it against excessive voltages.
6 If the economizer is to be controlled by the ignition line, terminate a wire in the power
connector and connect the ‘ignition’ wire to a +12V supply which is live only when the
vehicle’s ignition is switched ‘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.
Confirm the exact operation in the documentation supplied with the interface unit.

Remote Control Head Option
The control head of some T2000II models may be supplied ready for mounting remotely
from the radio chassis. In this case the control head should be located away from direct
sunlight, and the cable connecting it to the radio should be routed away from the antenna
with care taken to ensure that 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 the cable 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 two nuts located on each end.
2 Disconnect the red connector from the printed circuit board socket to free the cable.
3 Route the cable as required, fitting grommets where necessary to prevent chafing of
the cable insulation.
4 Fit the red connector to the printed circuit board socket – the connector is shaped so
that it can be fitted 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 at each end of the rear cover.
6 Refit the rear cover and replace the cover screws, tightening them carefully. Do not
overtighten the 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 to secure it in place.
Microphone Clip
The microphone clip must be earthed (to the negative supply line) if hookswitch control of
monitoring, scanning or call termination is to operate. Refer to the radio’s operating in-
structions to confirm requirements.
Ensure that the microphone clip is mounted in a position where the microphone PTT key
cannot be inadvertently activated or jammed on.

Installation Checks
1 Plug the microphone into the socket on the lower left-hand corner of the radio’s front
panel. Push the cable grommet into the rectangular aperture in the panel.
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
forward and reflected power levels. Less than 1W should be reflected for 25W forward
power. If this is not 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, Tait Electronics reserves the right to update the radio and / or this
manual without notice.
