3-2 INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
1. It is recommended that the transceiver be placed in a
location away from direct sunlight, high temperatures
dust, and high humidity.
2. During transmission the right side of the unit, as you
face the set, will usually become relatively warm since it
is used as a heatsink. Allow at least one inch (3cm)
clearance from other equipment to provide good air
circulation. The rear PA heatsink should also have good
ventilation; avoid heater or air conditioner ducts.
3. Locate the set so that controls are readily accessible, and
so the meter can be easily read.
4. An optional bracket is available for mobile operation.
Select the best location for mounting that will accomo-
date the weight of the set, and not interfere with driving.
5. Be sure to hook up to the ground lug!
3-3 РОМЕН SUPPLY
For AC operation, the ІС-Р515 is recommended. For mo-
bile operation, or if another power supply is used, be certain
that it provides 12 - 15 volts and at least 20 Amps. The
maximum power consumption of the transceiver is 16 - 20
Amps, so keep in mind that if the unit is installed in an
automobile it is turned on after the engine is started. Pay
close attention to the battery and wiring conditions.
To connect the DC power cord supplied with the set, do
the following: First make sure the Power Switch is Off,
and the set is in the Receive mode. Connect the cord to the
power supply using the red wire for the positive (+) side,
and the black wire for the negative (—) side (Reversing the
connections will cause the protection circuit to blow the
fuse.) Connect the DC plug to the IC-720 as shown in the
drawing below.
