TMC Radio SRM9000 SERIES Installation Instructions

SPEAKER INSTALLATION
The Speaker is to be located so that vehicle structure will not cause muffling or distortion of
the audio signal. Suggested locations include the console, under the dashboard, or on the
rear parcel shelf.
The Speaker cable can either be connected to the Transceiver LT Lead directly, or via the
Speaker Extension Lead.
Note: Connectors are polarised to ensure that the correct speaker polarity is maintained.
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
For optimum radio performance it is recommended that the Antenna be mounted in the
centre of the vehicle roof. If the Antenna is to be fitted to a fibreglass, or other non-metallic
surface that does not have a sizeable groundplane (~ ½ wavelength diameter), then a
ground-plane-independent Antenna must be used.
Roof Mount
Typical Antenna Locations
Route the coaxial cable to the Transceiver and install the Antenna according to the
manufacturers instructions
Terminate the coaxial cable using a BNC connector. Ensure that all of the vehicle doors
are closed and using a Reflectometer between the Transceiver and the Antenna BNC,
conduct a VSWR check. If the VSWR is >1.5:1, re-check the Antenna and
cabling/connections. If the VSWR <1.5:1, connect the Antenna BNC to the Transceiver
Antenna socket.
POST INSTALLATION CHECKS
When performing RF compatibility checks, ensure that the Transmitter is activated only for
the time required to make the observation.
With the vehicle stationary and the engine running at fast idle, activate the Transmitter and
check that the engine continues to run smoothly, the brake lights do not illuminate, and that
all dashboard instrumentation indicates correctly.
•
Operate the brake pedal, activate the Transmitter and ensure that the brake lights do
not extinguish.
•
Operate the direction indicators, activate the transmitter and ensure that indicators
operate correctly.
•
Put the vehicle into motion at a moderate speed (15-20 kph or 10-13 mph), activate the
Transmitter, and operate the brake pedal simultaneously. Check that braking action is
normal, and that the engine does not surge or cut out.
Hereby, TMC Radio declares that this
0885
product is in compliance with the essential
requirements and other relevant provisions
of Directive 1999/5/EC.
SRM9000 radio equipment is to be connected only to 12-volt negative earth
systems.
In vehicles with a 24-volt supply, an approved 24V/12V converter must be used.
The supply must not be taken from a 12V tap on the battery.
Equipment is to be installed in accordance with the requirements of local radio
communications authorities and/or Health and Safety regulations.
12V Supply Leads, Antenna cables and Speaker wiring is to be routed as far
away as possible from gas or fuel lines. This reduces the risk to safety in the
event of a leak.
In vehicles fitted with Electronic Ignition, Fuel injection, Anti-skid brakes, or any
Boot Mount
other electronic control device where temporary loss of service could be
hazardous, the radio transceiver and antenna are to be mounted as far away as
possible from these devices and their cabling.
To avoid RF injury, do not touch the Antenna when the Transmitter is in use.
