SECTION 1: OVERVIEW
Product Description
The M64450G25 Mobile Radio works within a frequency range of 450-506 MHz and requires a 1/4-wavelength
antenna.
The IPSeries High Speed Mobile Radios are intelligent devices designed for the challenging requirements
of mobile data applications. Mounted in vehicles, other intelligent devices may connect to the serial or
Ethernet ports for connectivity back to the Internet Protocol Network Controller (IPNC) and other such
servers. It provides the mobile link to land-based wired networks.
Figure 1: IPSeries High Speed Mobile Radio (Front View)
Product Functionality
The IPSeries High Speed Mobile Radio utilizes a high-performance, 4-level Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK)
wireless data modem for 32 kbps operation, 16-level FSK for 64 kbps in 25 kHz channels; a multi-layered
approach to signal reliability. It features low power consumption, high performance integrated GPS
receiver. Embedding this technology in the mobile radio lowers the cost of acquiring GPS data from
vehicles and ensures optimal performance.
The mobile radio technology includes Diversity Reception (DR) capability. DR reduces the effects of
fades in a multi-path environment. With the use of two (2) antennae mounted at a calculated distance on
the roof of the vehicle the Diversity Reception System (DRS) minimizes the effects of fading by
intelligently selecting the receiver with a better signal.
Diversity is most effective when the vehicle is in motion.

SECTION 3: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installation Instructions
Pre-Installation Guidelines
Prior to installing new equipment, perform the following steps:
a
1. Remove existing equipment and all related components to include stock clips on radio
wiring harness and antenna.
2. As shown in the figure below, mounting of the mobile radio, delay timer, relay, and EMI
filter (noise filter) will take place in the trunk compartment, unless installing in a vehicle
without a trunk.
Figure 4: Trunk Compartment Installation
Removal of seats, rubber mats, and other obstructions from inside the driver compartment may
be necessary to facilitate routing of wires to the engine and trunk compartments.
3. To ensure appropriate cable and wire routing, exercise the following precautions:
Route cables away from sharp edges that can penetrate cable insulation and damage
wires.
Protect wires with silicone rubber grommets when routing through the engine
compartment firewall or through other holes with sharp edges.
Use high-quality electrical tape when covering exposed wires in the engine
compartment.
Avoid routing cables through areas exposed to extreme heat, such as the exhaust.
Keep wires routed through the engine compartment away from hot and/or moving
parts.
M64450G25-FCCRpt.doc Page 8
4. Prior to drilling holes in the engine compartment firewall, inspect both sides to avoid
obstructions.
5. For grounding point, use the engine block or the negative (-) terminal of the vehicle battery.
Ground connection surfaces must be free of paint, rust, and other corrosion to maximize
performance and avoid damage. Do not tie to the vehicle chassis.
6. To simplify troubleshooting problems, label all connecting points and wires.
Mounting the High Speed Mobile Radio
To mount the mobile radio, perform the following steps:
Step 1 As shown in the figure below, secure the mobile radio into the trunk compartment.
Insert four (4) sheet metal screws in the mobile radio brackets.
SECTION 3: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Figure 5: High Speed Mobile Radio Mounting
a
If less than four (4) screws are used, the mobile radio can become loose in the trunk
compartment. This may cause the mobile radio not to function properly.
When inserting screws, be careful not to disturb the vehicle’s gas tank.
M64450G25-FCCRpt.doc Page 9
SECTION 3: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Serial Cable Connection and Routing
The serial cable connects the mobile radio to the mobile computer located in the driver compartment.
To connect the serial cable, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Attach the 20-foot serial cable male connector (DB9M) to the mobile
radio.
Step 2 Route the female connector (DB9F) to the driver compartment and
connect to the serial port located on the rear of the mobile computer.
Route the serial cable to minimize foot pressure and other potential
stresses. Use split loom tubing and nylon cable ties for cable protection.
Ethernet Setup
The user also has the option to connect the mobile radio and the mobile computer via Ethernet.
To connect the Ethernet cable, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Attach the Ethernet cable (minimum 20 feet) to the Ethernet port on the rear of the
mobile radio.
Step 2 Route the other end of the Ethernet cable to the driver compartment and connect to
the Ethernet port located on the rear of the mobile computer.
Route the cable to minimize foot pressure and other potential stresses. Use split loom
tubing and nylon cable ties for cable protection.
Delay Timer Installation
To install the Delay Timer, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Secure Delay Timer to the trunk compartment of the vehicle inserting screws in the
appropriate locations using care not to puncture the vehicle’s gas tank.
Step 2 Route the black wire (#12 AWG) from ground connection on the Delay Timer to the
vehicle chassis (see Figure 8).
Step 3 Route and wire the red wire (#8 AWG) from the positive (+) terminal connection on
the vehicle battery connection via the in-line fuse toward the battery connection on
the Delay Timer.
Connect the red wire (#8 AWG) to the two red wires (#12 AWG). Route and wire
the red (#12 AWG) wires to the two (2) battery connections on the Delay Timer.

SECTION 3: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Figure 8: Delay Timer Installation
Step 4 Route a red wire (#12 AWG) from the ignition connection on the Delay Timer to the
ignition switch in the driver compartment (see the figure above). The ignition wire
should be fused with 2A fuse.
Step 5 Route a red wire (#12 AWG) from the first and last output connections on the Delay
Timer to the Automotive Power Relay.
Step 6 Route and wire a red (#12 AWG) wire from the second output connection on the
Delay Timer to the last output connection on the Delay Timer.
Step 7 Route and wire a red (#12 AWG) wire from the last output connection on the Delay
Timer to the Automotive Power Relay coil at the position shown in the figure above.
Step 8 Route and wire a black (#8 AWG) wire from the junction (negative battery post
group) in the trunk compartment to the negative (-) terminal on the vehicle battery.
Step 9 Wire the red (#12 AWG) wire to the battery input on the Delay Timer and route the
black (#8 AWG) portion of the wire to the positive terminal on the battery via an inline fuse (30 AMP).

SECTION 3: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Switch Installation (DPST Heavy Duty Toggle)
To install the switch, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Mount the switch in the selected location.
Step 2 Route and wire a red wire (#12 AWG) from the switch to the Automotive Power Relay
(see the figure below).
Step 3 Ground the switch by routing and wiring a black wire from the switch to the chassis
ground.

SECTION 3: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Mobile Radio Power Supply Installation
To install the mobile radio power connection, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Route and connect the power cable to the EMI filter, as shown in the figure below.
Figure 10: Power Supply Installation
Step 2 Route and connect the other end of the power cable to the rear of the mobile radio
to the power connector (13.8 VDC) connection.
a
WARNING! Do not connect power before installing and connecting proper antenna or dummy
load on the TX/RX1 port. The mobile radio must never be allowed to transmit without a suitable
output load.
Step 3 Install the GPS antenna. The GPS antenna is required for the mobile radios and
the base stations.
