Electrical
Antenna Connector
The RF Coaxial Cable should be connected between the Antenna Socket on
the Folding Loop Antenna and the transceiver antenna connector. As the
Antenna Connector is not 100% watertight, after fitment use the supplied self-
amalgamating rubber tape to seal the connection. Proceed as follows:
1. Connect RF Coaxial Cable Connector to the Antenna Socket on the
Enclosure
2. Cut the self-amalgamating tape to the desired length
3. Remove the plastic backing from the self-amalgamating tape
4. Stretch the tape to 2-3 times its initial length while wrapping this around
the assembled RF Coaxial Cable Connector and Antenna Socket until a
complete weatherproof seal is made.
DC Connector
The shielded 13.8V DC Cable should be connected to a 13.8V nominal DC
source, which as a minimum is present whenever the transceiver is switched on.
The red inner is 13.8V DC Positive (+), the black (or depending on version, blue)
inner is 13.8V DC Negative (-). It is not necessary to connect the DC cable
shield, however this may be connected to the vehicle chassis to provide a better
RF ground if required. Proceed as follows:
1. Connect the DC Lead Plug to the DC Socket on the Enclosure
2. Connect a 13.8V nominal DC source
+ DC Positive
- DC Negative
NOTE: CABLE COLOUR CODING
Following the harmonisation of cable colour codes within the E.U. the DC Power
cable may be coded as below:
BROWN = + DC Positive
BLUE = - DC Negative
The RF and DC cables may be shortened as required by the user. Specific cable
lengths can be supplied upon request.
