Location
Plan the location of the transceiver and microphone brackets
before starting the installation. Select a location that is convenient for
operation and does not interfere with the driver or passengers in the
vehicle. In automobiles, the transceiver is usually mounted below the
dash panel, with the microphone bracket beside it.
Mounting
Your mobile radio is supplied with a universal mounting bracket.
When mounting the bracket and radio to your car, make sure it is
mechanically strong. Also provide a good electrical connection to the
chassis of the vehicle. Proceed as follows to mount the transceiver:
Mount the Transceiver
After you have determined the most convenient location in your
vehicle, hold the mobile radio with the mounting bracket in the exact
location desired. If nothing will Interfere with mounting it in the desired
position, remove the thumbscrews and use the mounting bracket as
a template to mark the holes for the mounting screws. Before drilling
the holes, make sure nothing behind the surface will be damaged or
interfere with the installation.
Electrical Connections
The Stryker SR955 is designed to work on any 13.8 volt DC, negative
ground electrical source. The condition of a vehicle’s electrical system
can have a profound affect on the performance of the radio. A low
battery, worn generator/alternator, or poor voltage regulator will seriously
impair the performance of the transceiver. Any of the above conditions
could result in a high level of receiver noise generation or a Substantial
loss of the transmitter’s RF output. Make sure that all these components
on your vehicle’s electrical system are in good condition prior to installing
the transceiver.
Before making any electrical connections make sure the volume (VOL)
11
control is in the“OFF” position.
Connect the positive (+) red wire of the DC power cord to a positive
21
13.8-volt source at the vehicle fuse block. If connecting to the fuse
block, it is recommended that a switched power source be used so
that the power to the Transceiver is disconnected when the vehicle is
off. This eliminates the possibility the transceiver draining the vehicle’s
battery.
Connect the negative (-) black wire to a metal part of the vehicle’s
31
frame, or chassis ground. Make sure that this is a good ground
connection.
Antenna Connections
The Stryker SR-955 has a jack in the rear for a standard PL-259
antenna plug. If you are looking for the most range for your transmission,
use a vertically polarized, quarter-wave length antenna. If antenna height
is a problem, you may use a shorter, loaded-type whip antenna although
you can expect some loss of transmission range. Your antenna should
always be adjusted for the lowest possible SWR (1.5 or less.) To adjust
your antenna for best performance, you can take advantage of your
radio’s built in SWR meter. Failure to properly adjust your antenna(s)
will diminish your operational range and could result in damage to your
radio. Damage that results from operating with high SWRs is not covered
under your factory warranty!
