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.

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
Selecting the Power
Source
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.
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
14
Installing the Radio
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

Important
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
4.4
Protect the power cable from engine heat, sharp edges and
from being pinched or crushed.
Do not install the fuses until the installation is ready to be
checked. For more information, refer to “Checking the
Installation” on page 22.
Installing the Remote Control Head
1.
Choose a suitable location for the control head.

Emergency Switch
The radio allows for connection of an emergency switch to any input line
to enter the emergency mode. If the switch is connected to the AUX GPI2
input line, the radio can also use ‘emergency power sense’ to power up the
radio to enter the emergency mode.
Note
The selected input line must be programmed to ‘Enter Emergency
Mode’ and active to ‘Low’. To use ‘emergency power sense’,
hardware link LK3 must be fitted (factory default), and AUX GPI2

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
Note
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.
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 connected 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.

Mounting the Radio
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:
20
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.

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.

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
22
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.
