14221-1200-4010, Rev.
14221-1200-4010, Rev. B 8.2.5 Connecting the Mobile Antennas 1. Label the radio-end of each antenna cable. The cable from the rooftop-mounted antenna (highest of the two) should be labeled “MRU Antenna” and the cable from the trunk-mounted antenna (lowest of the two) should be labeled “LBPA Antenna.” 2. Route each antenna cable from the antenna to the rear of the respective radio. Remove headliner panel, other interior panels, etc., as necessary.
14221-1200-4010, Rev. B antenna cable (labeled “LBPA Antenna”) must be connected to the “ANTENNA” connector on the LBPA. Mate the connectors and turn the plug clockwise until finger-tight. This will be a temporary connection until the radios and antennas can be tested after the installation is complete (in accordance with test procedures presented in Section 17). The antennas should be connected now in case of accidental transmission. 8.2.
14221-1200-4010, Rev. B 9. DC POWER INSTALLATION NOTE 9.1 Refer to the wiring diagram at the end of this manual as necessary when performing the wiring procedures presented in this section. OVERVIEW OF ON/OFF POWER WIRING CONFIGURATIONS Radio on/off power control is accomplished by the control head. When the control head is turned on, it “wakes-up” the MRU via data activity on the CAN link. The MRU automatically powers-up the LBPA when the MRU is powered on.
14221-1200-4010, Rev. B The MRU, the LBPA, and the control head require separately-fused main DC power. This is the red wire of each DC power cable. The switch power source to the control head is also separately fused. This is the white wire of the control head’s DC power cable. In-line type fuses and fuse holders are utilized. 9.2 POWER INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 9.2.
14221-1200-4010, Rev. B The radios must have a solid and stable ground connection to vehicle ground. If there is no well-grounded metal surface within approximately three (3) feet of the radios, a metal grounding strap or a heavy-gauge wire (with proper wire terminals) must be added between the metal surface and a solid and stable vehicle grounding point, preferably near the battery.
14221-1200-4010, Rev. B 3. Route the red wire and the CAN cable through existing channels in the vehicle body to an area near the vehicle’s firewall. Leave service loops at the rear of the radio. CAN cable installation is completed later using the control head installation procedure (Section 10.5). 4. Continue installation of two (2) DC Power Cables by routing their 20-foot red wires to the location of the vehicle’s battery (or its main DC bus bar or stud).
14221-1200-4010, Rev. B 8. Prepare to splice the two (2) inline fuse holders into the red wires by cutting the red wires again, at approximately three (3) to six (6) inches from each end. 9. Strip all wire ends back approximately ⅜-inch each. 10. For the HFB-type waterproof fuse holder used with the MRU, place a fuse holder shell on each wire so each large end of the shell is towards the wire end, then add a fuse holder terminal onto the stripped portion of the wire end. 11.
14221-1200-4010, Rev. B 10. CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION The remote-mount Unity XG-100M mobile radio must be connected to a control head to provide the operator-to-radio interface. Two (2) different control heads are available — the CH-100 control head and the CH-721 System model control head. See Figure 10-1 through Figure 10-4 respectively. A control head is interfaced to the radio via a CAN cable. Each control head is powered and fused by an individual DC power cable (i.e.
