INSTALLATION
•
It is recommended that the base station be mounted high inside the vehicle,
not within 10.2cm of any metal
3
. The base station should be attached to a flat
surface with 6.35mm thick, double-sided tape, to help insulate the base station
from the cold. When mounted vertically, the base station should be oriented so
that cables into the base station are connected from the bottom, not the top of
the enclosure so as not to provide a water path into the enclosure. Mount the
base station in a location that ensures at least 1.07cm of distance from all users.
•
Connect nominal 12V (11-16V ) from the vehicle to the base station using the power
cable provided. The base station can be connected to the vehicle power line and
ground at any location on the vehicle, without risking undesired effects such as
ground loops, etc. Connect the black wire to the vehicle’s ground and the red
wire to the vehicle’s 12V power. When wiring to the base station follow the Fuse
Assembly Installation Instructions below.
•
Plug one end of the enclosed 6P6C RJ-12 modular communication cable into the
RJ-12 jack on the base station and the other end into any headset port on the
intercom

.
NOTICE: FUSE ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
When using a vehicle power supply to operate the base station, the power cable
assembly (420-0047-00) is connected to the fuse assembly (330-0012-00), which is
wired to one of the vehicle’s fuse box slots using a 1A ATO fuse.
Only use a 500mA fuse (supplied) in the provided fuse holder assembly.
NOTE: When crimping the 6P6C modular plugs, always make sure the
printed side of the cable is facing the release tab on the plug on both
ends of the RJ-12 modular cable.
•
To provide strain relief for the power cable, use a wire tie to tie the modular
communication cable to the power cable. Place the wire tie as close to the base
station as possible.
