2-3 IP Classification Codes
Ingress Protection (IP) ratings are developed by the European Committee for Electro Technical Standardization.
International Standard IEC 60529 outlines an international classification system that describes the sealing
characteristics of electrical equipment. The classification system defines the level of protection provided by
enclosures to prevent the ingress of foreign objects and moisture into the electrical equipment.
The classification system uses the “IP” code, or “Ingress Protection” code, to define the level of seal. An IP
number contains two numbers (i.e. IP57) in most instances which relate to the level of protection provided by an
enclosure or housing. Either number may be shown as “X” (i.e. IPX6 / IP7X) to indicate the “X” part is not tested.

2-4 Project 25
What is Project 25?
Project 25 (P25) is a standard for the manufacturing of interoperable digital
2-way wireless communications products. Developed in North America under
state, local and federal representatives and Telecommunications Industry
Association (TIA) governance, P25 is gaining worldwide acceptance for
public safety, security, public service, and commercial applications.
What Are the Benefits of P25?
From the beginning, P25 has targeted four primary

At a minimum, a P25 radio system must provide
The published P25 standards suite is administered by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA Mobile and
Personal Private Radio Standards Committee TR-8). Radio equipment that demonstrates compliance with P25 is
able to meet a set of minimum requirements to fit the needs of public safety. These include the ability to interoperate
with other P25 equipment, so that users on different systems can talk via direct radio contact. The P25 standard was
created by and for public safety professionals.

What is the Status of P25 Today?

2) Will you use a hand mic or a “hands-free”
installation?
3) Can you route all cables so that they will not
interfere with any controls of the vehicle? Hand mic
cables are especially important here.
4) Make sure that it is possible to securely mount the
radio.
5) Will the position of the radio be safe for you and

6) Will the position of the radio obstruct any safety
device of the vehicle?
7) Don’t forget that transceivers can become hot in
transmit mode and ventilation should not be
obstructed.
8) Don’t mount the transceiver, antenna or
accessories where they can obstruct the driver’s

If you choose a magnetic mount type, be sure that it is
rated for the antenna type.

If there are no specific instructions for your vehicle
and/or radio then the following points should be
adhered to :
1) Keep the radio cables away from fuel or gas pipes.
2) Keep the radio cables away from any part that will
become hot.
If in doubt, please contact either the vehicle or radio
distributor for further information.
Be sure that the installation can be made safely, such
as no petrol leaks etc.
Modern vehicles are using more and more non-metallic
materials in their construction. Some panels (interior
and exterior) may be made from plastic or reinforced
3)
Keep the radio cables clear of moving parts
(steering, suspension, throttle control, etc.)
4) Route the cables where they can be securely held
in position.
5) Check if you need to drill some holes for passing
radio cables. (Before drilling holes, check for
hidden radio or power wiring.)
6) Only attach cables to non-moving parts of the
18
resin etc. Such panels do not have the same shielding
properties as metal and this may cause unexpected
effects with RF such as high VSWR or RF exposure. A
qualified radio installation engineer should be able to
give you advice on suitable products that can be used
to “screen” such non-metallic panels if required

Mobile Radio Installation
¾ INSTALLATION
Start the installation with any mechanical work that is
required for fitting the radio mount, cables, etc.
Before drilling any hole in a vehicle check exactly what is
behind the panel that you are drilling. When drilling a
hole always use a drill with a “stop” so that it is
impossible for the drill to go too far. Take extra care to
avoid petrol tanks and pipes, brake lines, other wiring,
Switch on ignition (but not engine) and check that all
instruments, warning lights etc are displaying “normal”
readings. Now transmit and verify that nothing changes
and that no instrument is disturbed. If the transceiver is
multi-mode, then repeat the test with all modes. If the
transceiver is multi-band, then repeat the test in all
operating bands. In each case use the maximum RF
power. If there is ANY disturbance of the vehicle
etc.
If
you have to dr

any hole to pass a cable
then the
hole must be sealed with a rubber grommet and when
the cable has been passed through you should re-seal
the cable and grommet with a suitable sealant.
If you drill holes for mounting screws, be sure to check
that the screw is a suitable type and length.
Locking type screws, nuts or washers are preferred.

If the above tests have been completed without any
problems, you can proceed to the STATIC operational
checks.
¾ STATIC OPERATIONALCHECKS
Pay attention to cables inside the passenger
compartment. They should be secured or routed under
carpets etc. There should be no possibility that they
could move and interfere with any control or pedal.
¾ BATTERY CONNECTION
Mobile transceivers are usually intended for direct
connection to the battery. Before disconnecting the
Start the engine of the vehicle and repeat ALL the tests
described in ‘TESTING’. Check that there is no
disturbance of the engine control or engine speed.
With the help of an assistant, switch on the vehicle
lights, indicators, etc. while transmitting. Check that no
unintended flashing or indication occurs.
Stop the engine. If the above checks have been

problems:

the mobile operational checks.

all operate as normal. Repeat using all bands, modes,
3)
If in doubt do not disconnect the battery. Take the
vehicle to an authorized service agent and ask them
to connect the transceiver power cables for you.
If the DC cables are not long enough they should only be
extended using an equivalent size and type of cable and
must be capable of handling the specified current and
be well insulated. Always try and route cables so that the

increase to normal driving speed and repeat the tests.
If there is any unexpected reaction from the vehicle

electronic device) then stop immediately and seek
assistance from a qualified installation engineer before
operating the transceiver. If all is OK, perform a final
braking test at normal speed while transmitting.
total length is as short as possible.
Connections should be made to the battery terminal
connectors and nowhere else in the vehicle wiring.
¾If the vehicle uses a different battery voltage (24 volts,
etc.) then a DC-DC convertor must be used. Never try and
connect to an intermediate point on the battery, etc.,
that appears to measure 12 volts.
Finally stop the vehicle, switch OFF the transceiver and
recheck your installation :
• Nothing has come loose?
• No equipment or cable was inconveniently placed
for your driving or your passenger’s safety?
• Vehicle alarm/immobilizer functions correctly?
• All vehicle instruments read normally?
19
¾ TESTING
Switch on transceiver and check that it functions OK.
Check the antenna matching with a VSWR meter, if
possible, adjust the antenna for a minimum value.
(Don’t forget that doors etc may have an effect on the
measured value!)
WARNING !
If the vehicle and transceiver installation does not pass
every check without problem you should seek expert
assistance.

3-8 Maintenance
■
Fuse Replacement
Fuses should be installed in the fuse holder of the
black and red power cables, respectively. If a fuse
blows or the transceiver stops functioning, track
down the source of the problem if possible, and
replace the damaged fuse with a new one of the
same rating.
Clock Backup Battery Replacement
When the backup battery is discharged, the
transceiver transmits and receives normally but
cannot retain the current time.
