Installing Motorcycle Mount Enhanced Control Head

Planning is the key to fast, easy radio installation. Before a hole is drilled or a wire is run, inspect the vehicle and
determine how and where you intend to mount the antenna, radio, and accessories. Plan wire and cable runs to
provide maximum protection from pinching, crushing, and overheating.
Note: The installation planning should only be undertaken by persons who are competent and able to
ensure that the complete installation fulfils its regulatory requirements, such as EMC (ElectroMagnetic
Compatibility).
When and where to use: The following list of considerations should, as a minimum, be checked during installation
planning:
Procedure:
1 The recommended place for the transceiver is to place it in the box at the back of the motorcycle.
2 Mount the Motorcycle Mount Enhanced Control Head horizontally at a position which enables the driver to view
the controls and operate them easily.
3 Be sure that the Motorcycle Mount Enhanced Control Head is close enough to the vehicle operator to permit easy
access to operating controls.
4 It is recommended to mount the Motorcycle Mount Enhanced Control Head directly on the chassis or handle part.
5 Ensure that the units mounted in the motorcycle box are protected from dirt and moisture.
6 Verify that there is sufficient space around the units to allow air flow and removal.
7 Verify that the cable from a handlebars mounted Motorcycle Mount Enhanced Control Head and to the radio unit
is long enough to allow for the handles to be turned.
8 Verify that the antenna cable is routed in the shortest way to minimize power loss over the cable.
9 Check that the mounting surfaces are able to support the weight of the units.
Note: If an additional GPS antenna or a combined TETRA/GPS antenna is used, the antenna housing
carries the GPS receiver. Take care not to cover the antenna housing with metal or other radio wave
absorbing material.
