WARNING

WARNING

The 3160 Power Amplifier should be installed
by a suitably qualified technician, to the
relevant standards and approvals.

While the following instructions are intended to
assist with installation, it is the purchaser’s
responsibility to ensure that the 3160 is installed
with due regard to vehicle-occupant safety,
particularly in the event of a vehicle accident.
Codan accepts no responsibility or liability in
the event of injury to vehicle occupants or any
other damage due to insecure or otherwise
unsafe or inappropriate installation of the 3160.

16 Power Amplifier 3160 Installation Handbook

What you need to consider

There are different requirements that must be considered,
depending on the layout and type of station in which the 3160
is used, that is, basic or stacked layout, mobile or fixed station.
Please read the sections that are relevant to your installation.

Basic layout

When installing the 3160 you must consider:

• the location and mounting of the 3160

• the routing of the coaxial and control cables

• grounding requirements for the 3160

The basic layout (see Figure 5 on page 10) is connected using
a 2 m power adaptor cable between the 2110 amplifier adaptor
panel (and hence the transceiver cradle) and the 3160.
Therefore, these items need to be located within 2 m of each
other. For dimensions of each item see page 37,

Specifications.

Installing the 3160

The fins on the heatsink of the 3160 should be oriented so that
warm air can move easily away from the fins. Ideal
orientations for the 3160 are shown in Figure 5 on page 10 and

Figure 6 on page 12.

Power Amplifier 3160 Installation Handbook 17

Installing the 3160

Stacked layout

Mobile station

The stacked layout (see Figure 6 on page 12) provides a
mounting system that connects all items together in a rugged
stack.

The stacked layout must be assembled in a
specific order, as some holes become hidden

CAUTION

For overall dimensions of the stack see Figure 14 on page 39.

NOTE

The 3160 should be mounted in a location that:

during the assembly process. For more
information see page 22, Installing the 3160 in

a stacked layout.

The power supply cover is not required if the
system is powered from a 12 V DC vehicle
battery.

• is clear of surrounding body work

• does not interfere with car openings

• provides adequate air flow around the unit

The 3160 must have:

• a strong anchorage point

• a sound electrical connection to the vehicle chassis

For specific instructions on mounting a vehicle cradle see the
fitting instruction provided with the cradle.

18 Power Amplifier 3160 Installation Handbook

Installing the 3160

Cabling in a vehicle

The coaxial cable between the antenna and the 3160 should be
installed as far as possible from other vehicle wiring,
especially high-voltage ignition wiring or the engine
management computer.

The cabling must be in a position that:

• is away from the driver’s feet

• is secured and concealed as much as possible

• ensures the control and coaxial cables are separated from
the DC power cable by at least 200 mm (8 in) (except
over short distances, for example, to pass through the
same hole in a bulkhead)

• is secured behind protective metalwork (only if the
cables run under the vehicle)

Keep cables in the engine compartment away from:

• heat, for example, exhaust, air-conditioning systems, and
water pipes

• oils and corrosive liquids, for example, engine oil,
battery fluid, and brake fluid

Protect all the cables from sharp edges and mechanical
abrasions. Cables that pass through body panels or internal
bulkheads must be protected by rubber grommets. Holes in the
bulkhead need only be large enough to allow the end of the
cable with the smaller connector to pass through. Removing a
connector should be a last resort.

CAUTION

Removal of factory-fitted connectors may cause
cable or connector faults.

Crimp-style coaxial connectors are not suitable

CAUTION

for external locations because they are
susceptible to mechanical damage and are not
weatherproof.

NOTE

Power Amplifier 3160 Installation Handbook 19

Any cabling under carpet or floor mats should
be clear of foot traffic.

Installing the 3160

Fixed station

Mounting

There are no specific requirements for locating the transceiver
and 3160 in a fixed station.

The installed 3160 should enable easy access to the
connectors. The 3160 should be positioned with the fins on the
heatsink pointing upwards (as in the stacked layout), or if
mounted on a vertical surface, with the fins on the heatsink
running vertically (see Figure 5 on page 10).

In a mobile station, attach all items of the 3160 system to
structural components of the vehicle.

Grounding

WARNING

The 3160 Power Amplifier must be grounded using an earth
strap (08-04515-001). In a mobile station, this strap must be
connected to the vehicle chassis. For more information see

page 34, Grounding the 3160.

Do not attach any items to loose or plastic
panels in a vehicle.
