7.3.3.1 For Motorcycle Models Equipped with Gas Tank Fairing The cable may be routed from the saddle area, under the fairing, around the left side of the gas tank filler pipe, and up to the area of the control unit. The fairing may have to be notched to provide entrance and exit space. Run the control cable as directed in Steps 1 through 3. 1. Remove all the screws securing the fairing. Next, unscrew and remove the gas tank cap and lift off the fairing. Replace the gas cap immediately. WARNING 2.
7.4.1 Power Cable As shipped from the factory, the power cable (19B802622P2) is equipped with a 12 amp in-line fuse (installed) and ring terminals. The power cable supplies power from the battery to the radio. Refer to Figure 6-4. 1. Connect the red lead (+) to the battery terminal on the alternator whine filter and the black lead (-) to ground on the alternator whine filter. 2. Route the cables to the battery and then connect the black (-) and the red lead (+) to the battery terminals. 7.4.
7.4.4 Accessory Cable The accessory cable (19B802554P24) provides connections for the external headset, DES keyloader, and other options (i.e., data terminal, external encoder/decoder, etc). 7.5 ANTENNA INSTALLATION 7.5.1 General The M/A-COM M7100IP motorcycle options are designed for use with the antennas listed in Table 2-1 and Table 5-1. With these antennas, a ground plane is no longer necessary.
2. Use the formula: ¼λ in = 2805 F(MHz) Example 1: Assume the customer has an 800 MHz M7100IP with most of the transmit frequencies between 816-821 MHz. Therefore, center frequency is 818.5 MHz. Applying the above formula results in: ¼λ in = 2805 = 3.43 inches 818.5 ½λ wavelength (in inches)= 6.85 inches The cable length should be 3.43 + n x 6.85 inches.
8 FINAL CHECKS AND CONNECTIONS After the weather resistant case is installed, all cables run, and the radio, control unit, speaker, and microphone installed, refer to the interconnection diagrams and verify that all connections have been made and the equipment is properly grounded. Make a final check of all cables to make sure they are properly connected and dressed away from all moving parts and exhaust pipes, and secured with cable ties. Then recheck all electrical connections and radio mounting hardware.
