CHAPTER 3
Connecting the PA300-CN System
Before permanently mounting the PA300-CN system, plan all wire routings and select the mounting
locations for the siren amplifier/relay module and control pad. Also read and understand all instructions
included with related equipment before installing it.

Selecting Mounting Locations

When fastened to the back of the control pad, the mounting bracket covers the wiring connectors and a
supplemental control for the gain or volume of the radio rebroadcast feature. To facilitate the installation of
the PA300-CN system, select mounting locations for the control pad and the siren amplifier/relay module
before permanently mounting them in the vehicle. After completing the wiring described in this chapter, refer
to the instructions for mounting the control pad and the siren amplifier/relay module in Chapter 5 on page 33.
For the control pad, select a mounting location that allows the vehicle, controls, and microphone to be
operated safely under all driving conditions. To identify safe mounting areas for equipment inside the
vehicle, consult the vehicle manufacturer's guidelines. To avoid driver distraction and unreliable switch
activation, the mounting location must not allow any movement of the control pad. Do not select a padded
surface for the mounting location of the control pad. For the siren amplifier/relay module, suggested
mounting locations are under the dash, under the front seat, or in the trunk under the rear deck near the rear-
seat speakers. Wiring connectors are located on the back of the PN300-CN.

with the vehicle manufacturer if the seat needs to be recalibrated for proper
airbag deployment.
