    • Headset with Microphone, Handlebar Switch, and Belt-Mount Amplifier. CONTROL UNIT MOUNTING Mount the control unit within convenient reach of the operator, and where it will not interfere with the safe operation of the motorcycle. A typical control unit, microphone, and speaker mounting is shown in Figure 2. Due to the large number of different motorcycle makes and models, it is up to the installer to decide how to mount the control unit, radio, and optional equipment.

  • Page 9: Two-Way Radio Mounting

    TWO-WAY RADIO MOUNTING The installation of the two-way radio consists of: • Mounting the base mounting plate to the motorcycle, • Installing the radio mounting bracket in the weatherproof case, • Installing the radio on the mounting bracket, and • Connecting the power/control cable, cable ground lead, and antenna lead once they have been installed.

  • Page 12 Installing The Weatherproof Box 1. Install the weatherproof case base mounting bracket (19C337200G1) to the motorcycle mounting bracket (customer supplied and installed) with the four 1/4 X 20 X 3/4 inch cap screws and lock nuts provided. See Figure 5. NOTE If the Rear Mount Antenna Option is used, refer to the antenna installation procedures and install the antenna...
  • Page 13 Figure 6. Radio Top Mounting Bracket Installation NOTE If you are installing a radio that has not been modified motorcycle applications, refer “Radio Modification Procedures” and modify the radio before continuing. 4. Refer to Figure 7 and position the radio and top mounting plate assembly over the bottom mounting plate.
  • Page 14 Figure 7. Radio and Base Plate Mounting Radio Modification Procedures NOTE Applies only to radios that have not been modified for motorcycle applications. Prior to installing the radio in the weatherproof box, the radio must be modified to withstand the mechanical vibrations inherent to motorcycle applications.

    8. Remove the wire metal handle (if present) from the 13.2 Mhz plug-in reference oscillator located on the synthesizer board. 9. The logic board in the top of the RANGR radio contains one or two plug-in crystals. One of these is located under the removable metal shield.

    damage may result. Also, route the cables so that they will not interfere with the operation of the motorcycle. Secure all cables with black cable ties for a neat installation. POWER/CONTROL CABLE The power/control cable is supplied for negative ground systems only. It is recommended that the black fuse holder box shipped with the radio be discarded and the black weatherproof fuse assembly provided be used in this installation.
  • Page 17 11. Install a new ring terminal on the black cable and connect it to battery minus (-). NOTE Any extra length of the power/control cable can be coiled under the motorcycle seat and secured to prevent interference with the operation of the motorcycle. See Figure 10.
  • Page 18: Vehicle System Cable

    VEHICLE SYSTEM CABLE The vehicle system cable provides power to the control unit. The yellow-fused lead provides the receiver "hot" and transmitter enable connection. The black lead provides the control unit ground. An optional red-fused lead (Option CC01) is available for ignition switch standby control.
  • Page 19 Installation Notes: Figure 10 shows the use of a customer- fabricated, under-seat mounting plate. This mounting plate provides mounting holes and slots for securing connectors, fuses, and cables on some Harley-Davidson motorcycles (such as model FXRP) . The mounting plate is especially helpful for large installations. In addition, banana plugs may be installed in the power cables as shown in Figure 10 to provide for quick connections to a battery charger, if desired.

    c. Before replacing the fairing, the vehicle system cable and any option cables may be run under the fairing also. Then replace the fairing by removing the gas cap, repositioning the fairing, then replacing the gas cap and the three screws that secure the fairing. For motorcycle models not equipped with a gas tank fairing: After making power connections, run the power/control and vehicle system cables (as well as any option cables) up the left side of the motorcycle to...
  • Page 21: Speaker Mounting

    SPEAKER MOUNTING Mount the speaker where the operator can hear it, and where it does not interfere with the safe operation of the motorcycle. On some motorcycles, the speaker can be attached to the windshield bracket using existing bolts to secure the speaker mounting bracket (see Figure 2). CONTROL UNIT CONNECTIONS After installing the control unit, speaker, and all cables, connect the required leads (including option leads) to the vehicle system plug as shown...
