Warning!! Vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas
Radio installation in vehicles powered by LP (liquefied petroleum) gas with
the LP gas container in a sealed-off space within the interior of the vehicle
must conform to the National Fire Protection Association Standard
NFPA 58. This standard states that the radio equipment installation must
meet the following requirements.
The space containing the radio equipment shall be isolated by a seal from
the space containing the LP gas container and its fitting.
Outside filling connections shall be used for the LP gas container and its
fittings.
The LP gas container space shall be vented to the outside of the vehicle.
Caution
Negative earth supply
The radios are designed to operate only in a negative earth system.
Caution
Insufficient heat dissipation with non-standard radio
installations
An unobstructed flow of air is required over the underside and rear of the
radio to ensure adequate cooling. The installation U-bracket described in
this guide has been designed to ensure such an airflow.
If a non-standard installation method is used, ensure that sufficient heat can
be dissipated from the cooling fins at the rear of the radio as well as from the
ridged underside of the radio. To achieve this, there must be a gap of more
than 3/8 inch (10 mm) between the underside of the radio body and the
mounting.
