A properly installed unit will minimize service calls and equipment downtime.
Consider the following guidelines when planning the installation:
•
DO consider a mounting location which will allow the unit to be mounted at a 45-
degree up angle. This angle provides operational convenience and physical
security for the portable radio under rough traveling conditions.
•
DO use heat shrink tubing on all splices.
•
DO ensure that the cable is not placed under stress, is not exposed to weather,
and is not subjected to damage due to engine heat.
•
DO retain the in-line cable fuse when trimming the cable to fit. Locate the in-
line fuse as close as practical to the supply voltage connection.
•
DO check the opposite sides of all mounting surfaces before drilling, to insure
that there are no obstructions, such as vehicle wiring and fluid lines.
•
DO check to make sure the charger heat sink on the back of the unit has
adequate ventilation space when mounted in vehicle.
•
DON'T attach the unit to any part of the vehicle that is not rigid or is subject to
excessive vibration.
•
DON'T install the unit in an area where rain or snow can easily get into it, such
as next to a vehicle window which may be left open.
•
DON'T install the unit in a location where it could interfere with the vehicle's
operator or operating controls.
•
DON'T dress the cable over sharp edges that could cause wear or tearing of
cable insulation.
•
DON'T install the unit in a location where it may be difficult for the operator to
reach.
•
DON'T install the unit where it may interfere with the vehicle safety air bag
deployment.
•
DON'T install the unit where the LED indicators and switch may become
physically damaged.
2.
Using the trunnion bracket as a template, mark the mounting surface drilling
locations. It is recommended that at least four screws be used, with 1/4 inch being
the preferred fastener diameter.
3.
Re-verify that there are no wires, fluid lines, or other obstructions on the other side
of the mounting location, and drill appropriate sized holes for the mounting screws
to be used.
4.
Referring to Figure 1, mount the bracket using appropriate screws, washers, lock
washers, and nuts.
5.
Insert the unit into the bracket, and install the washer and threaded knob into the
housing, as shown in Figure 1.
6.
Rotate the unit to the preplanned mounting angle and tighten the two threaded
knobs holding the charger to the bracket.
