■Checking the Installation

4.1 Selecting the Mounting Position

Inspect 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

4.2 Installing the Antenna

This 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 hazard

To 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.

14 Installing the Radio TM9100 Mobiles: 110 W Mobile Installation Guide

4.3 Connecting the Power Cable to the Power Source

Power 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

Important 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 Head

1. 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.

Note The remote control head back (TMAA03-03) has already been

fitted to the Control Head and the dual RJ-45 torso interface

(TMAC34-1T) has already been fitted to the radio body.)

3. Run the remote head cable (TMAA04-01) from the control head

location to the radio mounting location.

16 Installing the Radio TM9100 Mobiles: 110 W Mobile Installation Guide

4.5 Installing the Microphone

This section describes the radio’s microphone connector and the information

required to connect the microphone and install the microphone clip.

Important The microphone grommet must be installed whenever the

microphone is plugged into the microphone socket:

■to prevent damage to the microphone socket when

there is movement of the microphone cord, and

■to ensure that the control head is sealed against water,

dust and other environmental hazards.

Connecting the

Microphone 1. Plug the microphone into the microphone socket.

2. Slide the grommet along the microphone cord and push two adjacent

corners of the grommet into the microphone socket cavity.

3. Squeeze the grommet and push the remaining corners into position.

4. Check that the grommet is seated correctly in the cavity.

Installing the

Microphone Clip Install the microphone clip in the most convenient location using the screws

provided. The microphone must be within reach of the user but in such a

position that the PTT (press-to-talk) key cannot be inadvertently activated

or jammed.

Warning!! Safe microphone mounting

■Mount the microphone where it will not interfere with:

■the deployment of passenger airbags

■the vehicle operator controls

■the vehicle operator’s view.

Important Only install the microphone clip provided. If a non-

standard microphone clip is used, the correct operation of

the microphone hookswitch cannot be guaranteed.

4.6 Connecting to the Ignition Signal

Ignition Sense allows the radio to be turned on and off with the ignition key

of the vehicle. The TM9155R is already fitted with an ignition sense kit,

however it must be programmed for ignition sense operation.

If Ignition Sense operation is desired:

1. Make sure that the AUX GP13 line has been programmed for

ignition sense.

2. Run the yellow wire from the back of the mobile body (underneath

the 110W RF Amplifier) to a 12V signal controlled by the ignition

key.

3. Secure the cable with cable ties using the small holes in the side of the

chassis.

Note The logic thresholds for AUX GPI3 are based on 3V3 levels.

However, AUX GPI3 can be connected directly to a +13.8V

ignition signal.

Figure 4.3 Holes for cable ties

Holes for cable ties

18 Installing the Radio TM9100 Mobiles: 110 W Mobile Installation Guide

4.7 Connecting a Remote Speaker

If a high-power remote speaker is required, Tait recommends using:

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

Installation instructions (IPN 402-00010-00) are provided with the speaker.

If a different speaker is used, receptacles for the speaker pins of the power

connector are provided with the installation kit.

1. Run the speaker cable to the radio, then (underneath the RF

amplifier) alongside the ignition sense cable to the back of the radio

body.

2. Secure the speaker cable with cable ties using the small holes in the

side of the chassis (see Figure 4.3 on page 17), as was done for the

ignition sense cable.

3. Connect the speaker to pins 2 (SPK–) and 3 (SPK+) of the radio

body’s power connector (see Table 4.1).

4.8 Connecting to an Emergency Switch and/or

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:

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

emergency mode

■external alert devices.

If you want to connect an external device or signal, first check Table 4.2 to

see whether the signal is already used by the 100W RF amplifier.

If the signal is available, disconnect the loom between the RF amplifier and

the radio body. Open up the auxiliary connector (DB15) and wire in the

desired signal.

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 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.

Once 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.

To mount the radio using the base plate and cover:

1. Fix the base plate securely to the mounting surface.

2. Connect the Control Head cable, Antenna cable and External

Speaker (if installed), to the 110W Mobile. Lastly, connect the power

cable.

3. Place the 110W Mobile onto the base plate.

4. Fit the cover over the 110W Mobile and then slide it forward 5mm

(1/4") to engage with the base plate.

5. Using the key supplied, turn the lock to lock the cover in place.

4.10 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.

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. Once the VSWR is within tolerance, make a call to another party on

the radio.
