14221-1200-4000, Rev. A 5 PLANNING THE INSTALLATION 5.1 GENERAL INFORMATION Before starting, plan the installation carefully so it will meet the following requirements: • The installation is safe for the operator and passengers within the vehicle. • The equipment is installed away from the airbag deployment areas. • The installation allows for convenient access by the operator, as applicable (i.e., the control head, microphone, and other optional user-controlled equipment).
14221-1200-4000, Rev. A 5.3 LOCATING COMPONENTS Plan the mounting locations of all components (radio, control head, antenna, and cables) and determine the routes for all wiring and cables. Particularly consider the connection of the radio for planning purposes. • Determine the customer’s preferences, if any, for location of components.
14221-1200-4000, Rev. A 6 ANTENNA INSTALLATION 6.1 ANTENNA MOUNTING LOCATIONS WARNING At this time, review all information presented in the REGULATORY AND SAFETY INFORMATION section of this manual (see page 6). A transmitting antenna must be installed in accordance with the guidelines presented in both the REGULATORY AND SAFETY INFORMATION section, and in this section. Figure 6-1 below illustrates recommended antenna mounting locations.
14221-1200-4000, Rev. A 6.1.1 Direct Center or Center-Rear of Rooftop The center of the vehicle’s roof is the best location for a rooftop-mount antenna (location in Figure 6-1). For optimal performance, the mounting area under the antenna must be flat with a minimum radius of six (6) inches of metal ground plane. It must be located directly in the center of the roof to minimize human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy.
14221-1200-4000, Rev. A For thick-roof antenna mount AN-125001-004, using a ⅜-inch mounting hole will require better access to the underside of the mounting location than if a ¾-inch hole is used. This is because, in the case of a ⅜-inch hole, the antenna mount’s bushing assembly must be inserted from the underside of the mounting surface. When using a ¾-inch mounting hole to mount thick-roof antenna mount AN-125001004, the thickness of the mounting surface must be at least ⅛-inch (0.
14221-1200-4000, Rev. A 8. For a ¾-inch hole, feed the unterminated end of the mount’s coax cable into the hole from the top surface of the vehicle until the mount’s bushing assembly is in position to drop into the hole. The bushing should be tilted at a slight angle and fed into the hole. The threaded shank of the mount’s bushing assembly will not fall through a ¾-inch hole. For a ⅜ -inch hole, feed the threaded shank of the mount’s bushing assembly into the hole from the underside of the mounting surface.
14221-1200-4000, Rev. A 12. Using a 15/16-inch open-end wrench, tighten the lock nut until it fully compresses the O-ring and makes good contact with the vehicle mounting surface. The groove’s ridges on the bottom of the lock nut must make full contact with the unpainted metal surface of the vehicle. 13. Install the antenna element per the procedure in Section 6.2.4. 6.2.2 Installing Magnetic Antenna Mount AN-125001-008 1.
14221-1200-4000, Rev. A 2. Using an appropriate crimp tool, crimp the supplied TNC RF connector to the end of the antenna cable.

If the mounting surface is not flat (such as the top of a transmission hump), construct a suitable mounting wedge as necessary, and attach the wedge to the surface using an approved attachment method. Never mount the bracket directly to a non-flat surface. 4. On the mounting surface, mark the selected location for the bracket, and then remove the radio from the bracket. 5. Clean and remove any foreign material from the mounting surface. 6.
14221-1200-4000, Rev. A 7.2 FRONT-MOUNT RADIO’S DC POWER INSTALLATION 7.2.1 Overview of On/Off Power Wiring Configurations The following power wiring configurations are supported: • Radio turns on and off automatically with vehicle’s ignition switch/key — This configuration allows the on/off state of the vehicle’s ignition switch/key to control the on/off power state of the radio.
14221-1200-4000, Rev. A 3. Verify the black wire has sufficient length to reach the ground point. If not, it can be extended by splicing a 10-AWG wire to it. In this case, use approved wiring splicing methods and materials. 4. Strip the area of any paint or dirt to expose a bare metal surface, approximately ¾-inch square. 5. Drill a hole in the approximate center of the bare metal surface, and deburr it. A ⅜-inch non-insulated ring terminal is supplied with the cable to make this ground connection.
14221-1200-4000, Rev. A CAUTION Do not install any wiring or fuse holder over or in the vicinity of the vehicle’s engine.

14221-1200-4000, Rev. A for the connectors/cables that must mate to the connectors on the rear panel of the head. The control head can be mounted under or on top of a mounting surface (typically the vehicle’s dash) as space permits using either the standard U-shaped mounting bracket or the optional mounting pedestal. The size and weight of the control head necessitate less stringent mounting requirements than the radio.
14221-1200-4000, Rev. A 8.3.4.2 Using the Standard U-Shaped Mounting Bracket If the standard U-shaped mounting bracket will be used to mount the control head, the following mounting procedure is recommended. 1. Obtain the mounting bracket from the respective installation kit. For the CH-100 control head, this is item 2, as illustrated Table 4-4 on page 25. For the CH-721 control head, this is item 2 as illustrated in Table 4-5 on page 27. 2.
14221-1200-4000, Rev. A For the CH-721 control head, the MACDOS0012 pedestal attaches directly to the bottom of the control head as shown in Figure 8-9. The pedestal is then mounted to a mounting surface located below or above the assembly. CAUTION Be sure to use the #8-32 screws (with washers) supplied with the pedestal to attach it to the head. These screws are the correct length for this application and they have SEMStype washers that will not easily separate from the screw.
