For details, see the programming software online Help.
12 Installing the Radio TM9100 Mobiles: 110 W Mobile Installation Guide© Tait Electronics Limited October 20054 Installing the RadioThis section explains how to install and check the radio and its associated equipment. It contains the following information:■Selecting the Mounting Position■Installing the Antenna■Connecting the Power Cable to the Power Source■Installing the Remote Control Head■Installing the Microphone■Connecting to the Ignition Signal■Connecting a Remote Speaker■Connecting to an Emergency Switch and/or External Alert Devices■Mounting the Radio■Checking the Installation4.1 Selecting the Mounting PositionInspect the vehicle and determine the safest and most convenient position for mounting the radio. Tait recommends the use of an equipment mounting tray designed for the vehicle. These are available from manufacturers such as Havis-Shields (www.havis.com), Jotto Desk (www.jottodesk.com), Gamber Johnson (www.gamberjohnson.com), and Stewart Products (www.stewartproducts.com).Make sure that there is sufficient clearance for the heatsink and for the cables. Check cable lengths.Important Do not mount the radio in areas where it can be sprayed by a high-pressure cleaning device or temporarily submerged from an accumulation of water or other liquids.
TM9100 Mobiles: 110 W Mobile Installation Guide Installing the Radio 13© Tait Electronics Limited October 20054.2 Installing the AntennaThis section provides information on installing an external antenna within the RF exposure limits.Install the external antenna (not supplied) 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 hazardTo comply with FCC RF exposure limits, mount the antenna at a location such that no person or persons can come closer than 44 inches (1.1m) to the antenna.■VHF radios must be installed using an antenna mounted centrally on the vehicle roof, with a gain of 2.15dBi or 5.15dBi.Terminating the Antenna Cable 1. Run the antenna cable (not supplied) from the antenna to the radio mounting location and cut it to length, allowing approximately 8 inches (20 cm) excess at the radio end.2. Strip the end of the coaxial cable as shown in Figure 4.1. Fit the right angle N-type antenna connector (supplied) to the antenna cable.Figure 4.1 Stripping the antenna cable0.27 in(6.8 mm)0.33 in(8.3 mm)0.24 in(6.0 mm)0.83 in(21 mm)
14 Installing the Radio TM9100 Mobiles: 110 W Mobile Installation Guide© Tait Electronics Limited October 20054.3 Connecting the Power Cable to the Power SourcePower is supplied to the 110 W mobile via a cable with a DB25 connector (provided). This plugs into the external RF amplifier, which provides power to the back of the radio body via an internal loom.Important This radio is designed to operate from a nominal 12V negative ground supply and may draw up to 30A of current. The radio will tolerate a supply voltage range of 10.8V to 16.6V at the radio.Selecting the Power Source In passenger vehicles, the radio is always connected directly to the battery. 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 using the ignition signal to turn off the radio, the standby current is reduced to <3mA. Otherwise, the standby current is 50mA.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 22.1. 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.
TM9100 Mobiles: 110 W Mobile Installation Guide Installing the Radio 15© Tait Electronics Limited October 2005Important Protect the power cable from engine heat, sharp edges and from being pinched or crushed.2. Run the supplied power cable (or one with a higher current rating) between the radio’s mounting position and the vehicle battery (12 V) and cut it to length, allowing approximately 8 inches (20 cm) excess at the radio end.3. Cut the negative (black) and the positive (red) wires where the in-line fuse holders will be placed (as close to the power source as possible).Important Do not install the fuses until the installation is ready to be checked. For more information, refer to “Checking the Installation” on page 22.4. 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.5. Push the two crimp-terminals into the clear plastic fuse cover. Close the cover while the next steps are completed.6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the positive wire.7. Connect the negative wire to the battery ground terminal.8. Connect the positive wire to the battery positive terminal.Important Do not install the fuses until the installation is ready to be checked. For more information, refer to “Checking the Installation” on page 22.4.4 Installing the Remote Control Head1. Choose a suitable location for the control head.2. Mount the Control Head according to the instructions supplied (IPN: 402-00015-00). Make sure that you follow the warnings and cautions in these instructions.

20 Installing the Radio TM9100 Mobiles: 110 W Mobile Installation Guide© Tait Electronics Limited October 2005must 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 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.Note The selected output line must be programmed to ‘External Alert 1 or 2’, active to ‘Low’, and signal state 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 con-nected 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.4.9 Mounting the RadioOnce the cables are all in position, you attach them to the radio and secure it in its mounting location. The procedure varies, depending on whether you are using the base plate and cover. Warning!! Mount the radio securely so that it will not break loose in the event of a collision.To mount the radio without using the base plate and cover:1. Locate the 110W Mobile chassis in the mounting location and drill mounting holes.2. Connect the Control Head cable, Antenna cable and External Speaker (if installed). Lastly, connect the power cable.3. Fix the 110W Mobile chassis securely to the mounting surface.

22 Installing the Radio TM9100 Mobiles: 110 W Mobile Installation Guide© Tait Electronics Limited October 20054.10 Checking the InstallationWarning!! 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.Make sure that you use 30 A fuses. For part numbers, refer to “Checking the Equipment for Completeness” on page 10.1. Insert the fuses into the power leads.2. Turn the ignition on. If necessary, switch on the radio at the control head.3. Confirm that it is operational, but do not transmit.4. Connect an in-line power meter between the radio and the antenna.5. Transmit and measure the forward and reflected power levels.The antenna system should achieve a VSWR of better than 2:1. If VSWR is poor (3:1 or worse), the External RF Amplifier will reduce its RF power output. 6. If the VSWR is not better than 2:1, check the installation. If necessary, 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. For wide-band use, tune for best performance at the top of the band.Important Some antennas are pre-tuned and must not be cut. Check with the manufacturers’ instructions.7.
