2-way radio communication interface. The 110 radio interface is a durable solution for vehicles and other high-noise environments requiring radio communications.
Transmit Audio Gain Jump Intercom Audio Gain Jump Modular Jack The modular jack is the connection point for the CA cable leading from the 110 radio interface to the headset module. Radio Interface Jack The 9-pin D-Sub connector is an attachment point for the included mobile radio (MR) interface cable.
INSTALLATION Mounting the Radio Interface Unit Mount the interface unit to a flat surface by drilling four mounting holes and installing the enclosed #6 fasteners. Mounting hole and intercom dimensions are shown below. The unit is designed for vehicle interiors and indoor use.
SYSTEM WIRING Overview Once the radio interface unit is installed, the system is ready for wiring. A headset module can be connected to the headset port using a RJ-12 connector and CA cable as shown in the figure below. See “CA Cable Routing” in the Installation section of this manual before wiring.
SYSTEM WIRING Power Connections Power is wired to the unit using the power supply cable with in-line fuse (included). When routing the power cable, the in-line fuse should be easy to access. Warning Before making power connections, make sure the power source is turned off. Important Use a dedicated ground for the (-) power connection.
SYSTEM WIRING Headset Module Installation • With the CA cable routed from the intercom, cut the cable to length at the headset module and slide the bend relief grommet over the end of the CA cable as shown in the figure above. •...
Transmit Audio Gain Jump Receive Audio Adjust Transmit Audio Adjust Several adjustments to the 110 Radio Interface are required. When connecting to the mobile radio, it will be necessary to make both transmit and receive audio adjustments. Warning These adjustments must be performed by a qualified radio technician. Failure to perform these adjustments may result in problems hearing or transmitting radio signals when using the intercom system.
The receive audio adjustment is a rotational adjustment of the audio gain from the radio. When making this adjustment, set your mobile radio volume to the normal volume level used without the 110 interface installed. The audio level should be adjusted with the headset user for quality audio mixing.
TROUBLESHOOTING If the radio interface system does not operate as expected, check the following items: • Check for power at the unit and confirm that the fuse is not blown or the circuit breaker is not tripped. • Confirm that a dedicated ground is used for the interface power and not a chassis ground. •...
