TMAA04-06 Cross-band Linking, GPS and External Interface Cable
© Tait International Limited February 2021
Connecting to a GPS Device
The cable provides an RJ-45 socket, which is used to connect a TM9356 dual radio system to
a GPS device such as a Garmin-16HVS antenna/receiver (product code TMAA05-01). GPS
data is sent from the antenna to both radios.
Installation
Plug the GPS receiver/antenna directly into the RJ-45 socket. The socket is the correct type
for the antenna, therefore the adaptor that is supplied with the GPS antenna is not required.
For information on antenna mounting, refer to the instructions provided with your GPS
device.
Radio Programming
Program one or both radios with GPS settings as required. For detailed configuration and
programming information contact your local Tait dealer.
Connecting to the Ignition Signal
The cable’s external interface connector can be used to connect a TM9356 dual body radio
system to the vehicle’s ignition signal. This will turn the radio system off when the ignition
key is off to avoid draining the battery, and will turn the radio system on when the ignition
key is on.
A TMAA04-05 ignition sense kit is available. The kit comprises a mating plug for the
radio’s auxiliary connector and a 13 foot (four metre) length of cable to connect to the
vehicle’s ignition signal.
Installation
Connect pin 4 of the external interface connector (AUX-GPI3) to the 13.8V signal controlled
by the vehicle’s ignition key.
Make sure the ignition switch and the radio links LK1 and LK2 are properly configured
to reduce the radio's power consumption. Refer to the TM9300 Service Manual for more
information.
