5.11 Transceiver and Cabling Installation

After the weather-resistant enclosure has been installed, the radio chassis (transceiver) is installed in
the enclosure and then appropriate cables are connected. However, before the transceiver can be
installed, the cabling must be properly positioned in the enclosure.

5.11.1 Installing Cabling in the Enclosure

Position the cabling in the weather-resistant enclosure as follows:
1. Run the speaker, power, control-head, and ignition sense cables into the enclosure.
2. Lay the excess cable length between the radio mounting bosses in an S configuration as

NOTE: If the extra cable length is not sufficient to match the illustrated cable routing, then match the
illustration as closely as possible.
3. Connect the speaker cable to the accessory cable connector.
NOTE: The accessory-cable emergency connector is shipped with a shorting plug installed. The
headset connector is also shipped with a shorting plug installed. The plugs must remain in if
an emergency switch and/or headset is not used. If an emergency switch and/or headset is
used, remove the shorting plug(s) and discard.
4. Install the mounting plate in position on top of the cables installed above. Take care not to
damage or pinch the cables when securing the mounting plate in position.
NOTE: At this point, the control-head cable plug should be located at the forward end of the
enclosure, and the power-cable, speaker-cable, and accessory-cable plugs should be located
at the rear of the enclosure.
