Non-standard Radio Installations

Negative Earth Supply

The installation U-bracket described in this guide has been designed so that
there is enough airflow around the radio to provide cooling.
If a non-standard installation method is used, care must be taken that
sufficient heat can be dissipated from the heatsink fins and the ridged bottom
surface of the radio.
For this to be achieved, there must be a gap of more than 10 mm (3/8 inch)
between the bottom surface of the radio chassis and the mounting surface.
This is illustrated in the following diagram (TM8200 radio shown):
The radios are designed to operate only in a negative earth system.
