Chapter 1 Introduction

This manual covers the installation procedures for ASTRO XTL 5000 mobile and motorcycle radios
and accessories required to complete the radio system. The radio system consists of a control head,
radio, antenna, microphone, speaker, cabling, and accessories.

1.1 Mobile Radio Description

1.1.1 Dimensions

Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-1 show the basic dimensions of a dash mount XTL 5000 radio. The

transceiver portion of a remote mount XTL 5000 is sized similarly.
When installing the radio, make sure to plan the installation carefully and leave additional room in the

rear of the radio for cabling and accessory connections; in the front of the radio for access, controls,
and cabling (if remote mount); and to the sides of the radio so that you may access and install the
trunnion wing screws.

1.2 Standard Configurations

1.2.1 Dash Mount Configuration

In the dash mounting version of the XTL 5000, the control head is mounted on the front of the
transceiver housing. Electrical connection between the two takes place within the radio via a flexible
circuit board between the connectors on the front of the transceiver and at the back of the control
head.

For details on this configuration, see Section 2.2.1 on p age 2-5.

1-2 Introduction: Motorcycle Configurations

1.2.2 Remote Mount Configuration

In the remote control version, the transceiver and the control head are mounted separately in the
vehicle. The control head is mounted in a remote trunnion near the operator. The transceiver is
mounted by means of a trunnion or other mounting hardware. If the transceiver is located in a car
trunk, be sure that secure mounting and sufficient cooling are provided. Do not cover the transceiver
with baggage, blankets, etc.

1.2.3 Dual Control Configuration

The dual control head option allows two, separate, remotely operated control heads to operate and
control the radio. For example, a fire truck could have a control head located in the cab and on the
rear of the truck so that the radio could be operated from outside the vehicle.

For details on this configuration, see the ASTRO Digital Spectra Mobile Radios Dual Control Head
Radio System Service Manual (Motorola publication part number 6881091C78).

1.3 Motorcycle Configurations

The ASTRO XTL 5000 motorcycle radio models provide most of the equipment needed for installing
a standard ASTRO XTL 5000 radio on a motorcycle. Most of this radio system is standard
equipment. See Chapter 4: Motorcycle Radio Installation for further information.

1.4 Base/Control Stat ions

The base/control station option provides the radio with a desk microphone and power supply for use
at a fixed location. All operations are the same as the mobile, except for the desk microphone.

Choose a location for your base/control station as close as possible to where the antenna cable
enters the building. Be sure an electric outlet is available. Make sure sufficient air can flow around
the radio to permit adequate cooling.

The antenna should be installed outside of the building, but never within two feet (for radios with less
than 50 watts power output) or within three feet (for radios with 50 watts or higher power output) of
station operators or bystanders.

For more information, refer to the Spectra Control Station Installation Manual (Motorola publication
part number 6880101W87).

Chapter 2 Standard Configurations

2.1 Planning the Installation

The XTL 5000 radio operates only in negative ground electrical systems. Before starting the radio
installation, make sure that the ground polarity of the vehicle is correct. Accidentally reversing the
polarity will not damage the radio, but will cause the cable fuses to blow.

Planning is the key to fast, easy radio installation. Before starting the installation, 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 inching, crushing, and overheating.

CAUTION Before installing any electrical equipment, check the vehicle manufacturer’s user manual.

The installation of this device should be completed by an authorized servicer or installer.

2.1.1 Installation Examples

Your mobile two-way radio offers various methods of installation, including dash or remote mount
(see Figure 2-1 through Figure 2-6).

2.2 Radio Mounting

CAUTION: DO NOT mount the radio on a plastic dashboard

!

C a u t i o n

The mounting location must be accessible and visible. Select a location that will permit routing the
RF antenna cable as directly as possible.

NOTE: For optimum radio performance, orient the mounting trunnion as shown in Figure 2-11. For

new or existing installations, use only the XTL 5000 trunnion (kit number: HLN6861_).

without first reinforcing the dashboard; the weight of the radio may
crack or break the dashboard.
CAUTION: DO NOT mount the radio on a flat or concave surface
where the radio could be partially submersed in water. This is
especially important if the cab area of the vehicle is cleaned by
spraying with water. If the radio sits in water for a length of time,
moisture may seep inside the radio and damage the electronic
components.
CAUTION: DO NOT allow water to stand in recessed areas of
vertically mounted radios. Remove any moisture immediately to
prevent it from seeping down into the radio.

For a remote mount installation, the transceiver may be mounted anywhere in the vehicle, provided
that the installation location is safe, follows the cautions mentioned at the beginning of this section,
and is accessible for servicing/maintenance as well as cabling. A typical mounting location
recommended by Motorola is in the vehicle’s trunk. The trunnion provided may still be used to mount
the transceiver, and the mounting process is the same as for the dash mount installation (Section

2.2.1 on page 2-5). See Figure 2-8 for a remote W4, W5, W7, and W9 installation, and Figure 2-10

for a remote W3 installation.

2.2.2.2 Control Head and Remote Mount Cabling

The recommended mounting surfaces for the control unit are under the dashboard, on the
transmission hump, or on the center console. Figure 2-15 shows how the trunnion, control head, and
cables should be installed for the W4, W5, and W7 control heads. Figure 2-16 shows the installati on
for the W9 model control head.

NOTE: For control head models W4, W5, and W7 only: To seal the control head and meet

U. S. MIL-STD-810D environmental specifications, covers are supplied for protection of the
control head’s rear connector pins. These covers are in the bag that is fastened to the remote
control head’s mounting trunnion.

If the VIP connector is not being used to connect options, the VIP protective cover should be
installed as shown in Figure 2-17. If the microphone is connected to the front of the control
head, the MIC protective cover should be installed as shown in Figure 2-17. Alternately, the
microphone can be connected to the rear connector in place of the cover, and the control head
will still be environmentally sealed.

An adjustable trunnion, which allows a number of mounting positions, is supplied for mounting the
control unit. The installation must not interfere with the operation of the vehicle or its accessories, nor
disturb passenger seating or leg room. The control head must be within convenient reach and
viewing of the user.

If the trunnion is mounted on a plastic dashboard, all four mounting screws should penetrate the
dashboard’s supporting metal frame. If that is not possible, use a metal backing plate (not supplied)
to strengthen the installation. Install the control unit as follows:

1. Use the control unit trunnion as a template to mark the mounting holes; drill 5/32" holes. If
mounting on a plastic surface, use a metal backing plate.

2. Attach the trunnion bracket using all four 10-16" x 5/8" self-tapping screws provided.

3. Temporarily install the control head (adjusting for proper viewing angle) and fasten it to the
trunnion with two wing screws. T est the installation to be sure the unit does not wobble or feel
“spongy” when you press the buttons.

NOTE: Use all four mounting screws and be sure they are tightly screwed into metal — either a

dashboard support bracket or a backing plate.

2.2.2.2.4 Transmit/Receive Control Cable Installation (W4, W5, W7, W9 Remote Control Heads)

The radio system includes two separate wires, one orange (66") and one green (106"). The
HLN4952_ Fuse Kit contains crimp-on ring tongue lugs and crimp-on spade lugs. The spade lugs
allow connection to hot leads at the fuse block of the vehicle, and the ring tongue lugs permit
attachment to screw terminals. Determine from Table 2-1 which radio functions are to be switched
through the vehicle ignition switch.

radio cable connector must be tight. If the accessory port on a
remote mounted radio is not used, the cover gasket assembly
(HLN6233_) must be installed and torqued to 6 to 8 inch-pounds.

A typical system allows the receiver to operate with the radio switched on while the ignition switch is
in the off position, but the transmitter will not operate unless the ignition switch is in the on position.
In this case, connect the orange wire to the accessory terminal of the ignition switch and the green
wire to the ungrounded terminal of the battery or starter solenoid.

• A fuse will need to be placed in-line for both the orange and green wires; consideration should
be taken when deciding where to place the fuses so that they are easy to inspect. However,
they should also be placed as close as possible to the battery or the vehicle’s ignition switch
terminal.

• After choosing the fuse locations, the fuse receptacles need to be installed. This is done by cut­ting the wire at the chosen location and stripping 1/8-inch of insulation on all loose ends. Make

• Slide the plastic insulator fuseholder over the end of the wire that is connected to the cable kit.
Insert the stripped end of that wire into one of the metal fuse clips, and crimp it closed onto the
exposed wire. Solder it for a better electrical contact.

• On the end of the loose wire, repeat the above crimping and soldering process with the remain­ing metal fuse clip.

• Temporarily, install the fuse (both are 3-amp), into the fuse clips onto both sides of the fuse.
Slide the spring over the remaining loose end of the wire. The spring should be followed by the
plastic insulator fuseholder oriented as shown in Figure 2-19. Slide the plastic insulator fuse
holder together, by first making sure the spring slips inside the plastic insulator fuseholder cap.
Now, twist the fuseholders until they lock together. After assembly proves successful, remove
the fuses until instructed to install them later.

With the spring and plastic insulator fuseholder cap still in place on the loose portion of the wires
(orange and green), insert the stripped end of the wire into the spade or ring tongue lug. Crimp and
solder the lug as was done on the metal fuse clips above.

• For radio ON/OFF control independent of the ignition switch, connect the red ignition cable
(orange for remote) (pin 25 of accessory connector) to “battery hot” at the vehicle fuse block.

• For radio ON/OFF control via the ignition switch, connect the red ignition cable (orange for
remote) to “ignition” at the fuse block.

Note that for remote mount installations, the green and orange leads are connected, not the red lead
from the rear of the radio. See Table 2-1.

The ignition sense cable uses either a 3-amp (P/N 6580283E01) or 4-amp (P/N 6580283E02) fuse.
For other considerations when connecting the ignition cable, see the XTL 5000 Basic Service

2.5 Antenna Instal lation

IMPORT ANT NOTE: To assure optimum performance and compliance with RF Energy Safety

standards, these antenna installation guidelines and instructions are
limited to metal-body vehicles with appropriate ground planes and take
into account the potential exposure of back seat passengers and
bystanders outside the vehicle.

NOTE: For mobile radios with rated power of 7 watts or less, the only installation restrictions are to

use only Motorola approved antennas and install the antenna externally on metal body
vehicles. For mobile radios with rated power greater than 7 Watts, always adhere to all the
guidelines and restrictions in section 2.5.1 below.

September 9, 2003 6881096C72-B

Standard Configurations: Antenna Installation 2-15

2.5.1 Selecting an Antenna Site/Location on a Metal Body Vehicle

1. External installation – Check the requirements of the antenna supplier and install the
vehicle antenna external to a metal body vehicle in accordance with those requirements.

2. Roof top – For optimum performance and compliance with RF Energy Safety standards,
mount the antenna in the center area of the roof.

3. Trunk lid – On some vehicles with clearly defined, flat trunk lids, the antennas of some radio
models (see restrictions below) can also be mounted on the center area of the trunk lid. For
vehicles wit hout clea rly def ined , fla t trunk lids (suc h as ha tchb ack au tos, sport uitil ity vehicl es,
and pick-up trucks), mount the antenna in the center area of the roof.

Before installing an antenna on the trunk lid,

- Be sure that the distance from the antenna location on the trunk lid will be at least 85 cm

(33 inches) from the front surface of the rear seat-back to assure compliance with RF
Energy Safety standards.

- Ensure that the trunk lid is grounded by connecting grounding straps between the trunk lid

and the vehicle chassis.

IF THESE CONDITIONS CANNOT BE SATISFIED, THEN MOUNT THE ANTENNA ON
THE ROOF TOP!

4. Mounting restrictions for certain radio models

For 40 Watt UHF models, the 1/4 wave antenna
area of the roof, not on the trunk lid, to assure compliance with RF Energy Safety
standards.

5. Ensure that the antenna cable can be easily routed to the radio. Route the antenna cable as
far away as possible from any vehicle electronic control units and associated wiring.

6. Check the antenna location for any electrical interference.

7. Ensure that any other mobile radio antenna on this vehicle is at least one foot (30.48 cm)
away from this antenna.

NOTE: Any two metal pieces rubbing against each other (such as seat springs, shif t levers,

trunk and hood lids, exhaust pipes, etc.) in close proximity to the antenna can cause
severe receiver interferenc e.

should be mounted only in the center

2.5.2 Mini-UHF Connection

To ensure a secure connection of an antenna cable’s mini-UHF plug to a radio’s mini-UHF jack, their
interlocking features must be properly engaged. If they are not properly engaged, the system will
loosen. Using a tool (pliers or wrench) will not overcome a poor engagement, and is not
recommended.

NOTE: Applying excessive force with a tool can cause damage to the antenna or the connector (e.g.,

stripping threads, deforming the collar or connector, or causing the connector to twist in the
housing opening and break).

The mini-UHF connector tool (Motorola part number HLN6695_) is designed to securely tighten the
antenna plug–radio jack connection without damaging either the plug or the jack.

6881096C72-B September 9, 2003

1. Make sure that there is sufficient slack in the antenna cable.

2. Make sure that the collar of the antenna cable plug is loose and does not bind.

3. Make sure that the mini-UHF jack is tight in the radio housing.

4. Slide the collar back against the flange. Insert the antenna cable plug’s pin fully into the radio
jack, but do not engage the threads.

5. Ensure that the plug’s and jack’s interlocking features are fully seated. Check this by grasping
the crimp on the cable jack, rotating the cable, and noting any movement. If the features are
seated correctly, there should be NO movement.

6. Finger-tighten the antenna cable plug’s collar onto the radio’s jack.

7. Give a final tug, by hand, to the collar, and retighten by hand as firmly as possible.

8. Slip the mini-UHF connector tool over the coaxial cable, using the gap between the tool’s legs
(see Figure 2-24). Then, slide the tool up onto the plug’s knurled collar. Squeeze the two
straight legs of the tool firmly together between your thumb and index finger and turn
clockwise (as shown) to tighten the collar. It should take 1/4 turn or less. When you feel the
tool slipping on the collar, the connection has been properly tightened. The tool can also be
used to loosen a tight collar.

NOTE: DO NOT use pliers or any other device to grip the tightening tool. It has been designed to

allow you to achieve the proper torque on the collar without overtightening. Overtightening the
collar can damage the connector and the radio.

Chapter 3 Options and Accessories Installation

3.1 VIP Overview

The vehicle interface port (VIP) allows the control head to operate outside circuits and to receive
inputs from outside the control head. There are three VIP outputs which are used for relay control.
There are also three VIP inputs which accept inputs from switches.

3.1.1 VIP Output Connections

The VIP output pins are on the back of the control head (J0103), or the rear accessory panel (J2).
The pin information is shown in Figure 2-8 and Figure 3-9, respectively. Use these connections to
wire control relays. One end of the relay should connect to switched B+ voltage, while the other side
connects to a software controlled ON/OFF switch inside the control head. The relay can be normally
on or normally off depending on the configuration of the VIP outputs. There are three VIP output
connections, as follows:

NOTE: Remove JU629 (J5 emergency to ground) and JU618 (emergency to pin 13 of J6) from the

radio interconnect board. Do not remove JU628 (pin 13 of J6 to ground). Other options (such
as siren/PA) may require this.

Remote-mount configurations offer more flexibility with accessories connections. There are two
methods of terminations that can be combined in parallel:

1. The first and most convenient method is to connect to the rear of the control head using the
J1003 connector. This connector, unlike the accessory connector assembly, has female
terminals. These terminals are supplied crimped to wires in all Motorola-approved
accessories.

a. Insert female terminal into the J1003 connector housing in the appropriate location and

connect the J1003 connector into the rear of the control head (see Figure 3-1). A removal
tool is available through Motorola. (See Appendix A: Replacement Parts Ordering.)

Options and Accessories Installation: Remote-Mount Accessory Installations for W4/5/7/9 Models 3-3

b. Secure all wires using tie straps or appropriate electrical tape to insure the wire’s safety.

Any wires passing through the vehicle’s metal panels must be protected with grommets.
This will prevent the shaving of the wire’s protective jacket, which will result in a short.

2. The second method is to use the accessory connector assembly (not supplied with the
remote mount configuration). The process is similar to the dash mount process (see Section

3.3 on p age 3- 4). DO NOT connect two of the same accessories simultaneously at the rear of

the control head and the accessory connector assembly (e.g., two emergency switches
would both need to be engaged in order to operate).

3.5 Accessory Connector Assembly Details (P2)

The XTL 5000 accessory connector assembly is mounted on the right rear of the radio, opposite the
antenna and adjacent to the power connector. It is fastened to the radio via jackscrews and held
together by the two cover screws. It is a multi-functional connector that allows for many different
types of adaptations. All approved accessory wires are securely strain-relieved through the exiting
slots at the back of the accessory connector assembly. The terminations that are supplied with all
accessories are designed to be fully engaged and locked into the plug connector (P/N 6680163F01).
They can also be detached for service with the assistance of a terminal removal tool. The accessory
connector assembly can be serviced multiple times for future installation upgrades.

The accessory connector assembly, supplied with every XTL 5000 dash-mounted radio, is equipped
with a 26-pin plug assembly, two covers, two jackscrews, two cover screws, one emergency jumper,
one ignition sense cable assembly, and one speaker pigtail. The jumper is provided to complete the
circuit for emergency mode. If this circuit becomes open, the radio will be set to emergency mode.

3.5.1 Installation into the Vehicle

CAUTION Before installing any electrical equipment, check the vehicle manufacturer’s

user manual.
The installation of this device should be completed by an authorized servicer

or installer.

1. Disconnect the negative terminal from the vehicle’s battery. Make sure that the battery cable
is secured such that it will not power the vehicle’s electrical system.

2. Place the accessory connector assembly in the approximate location for the permanent
installation of the radio. Allocate a sufficient service loop for ease of removing and servicing
the radio.

3. Route the ignition wire to either an ignition switch circuit or a power source that is always hot
(see Section 2.4 on page 2-14). In either case, verify that the source will be capable of
withstanding a load of 4 amps (see the wiring diagrams in the vehicle manufacturer’s service
manual). Always use the supplied fuse holder to prevent damage to the radio.

4. Secure wires with tie straps or electrical tape to prevent damage to or entanglement of the
wire. If wires are passed through drilled holes through firewalls or through any other metal
panels within the vehicle, the holes must be fitted with a rubber grommet (not supplied) to
prevent shaving of the wire’s protective jacket, which could cause electrical shorting.

NOTE: The speaker pigtail is connected to the speaker assembly. Be sure not to route the speaker

pigtail or wires through any areas that could cause potential damage to them. The audio
system is a floating ground; therefore, any speaker lines that come into contact with the
ground can cause damage to the radio. Check all wires for electrical shorts; properly repair
any electrical shorting issues immediately.

5. If there are no issues, reconnect the battery. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions
for the proper procedure.

3.5.2 Installation onto the Radio

The accessory connector assembly is fastened to the back of the radio by jackscrews. The radio
should be fully mounted and secured in its trunnion prior to connecting the accessory connector
assembly to the radio. Be sure when connecting the accessory connector assembly to the radio that
there are no foreign materials in the mating surfaces. Do not force the connector on. It should slide
on with very little resistance. Be sure that both jackscrews are engaged in their threaded holes
before tightening them. Finger tighten the jackscrews securely to prevent loosening.

3.5.3 Disassembly and Assembly

3.5.3.1 Disassembly

1. Disconnect the negative terminal from the vehic le’s batter y. Make sure that the battery cable
is secured such that it will not power the vehicle’s electrical system. See Figure 3-6.

2. Unscrew both jackscrews completely.

3. Pull the accessory connector assembly out from the radio.

4. Loosen both cover screws, but do not remove them completely.

5. Pull the jackscrews away from the plug and hold them back.

6. Pry apart the accessory connector assembly covers.

7. Attach any new wire to its proper location by pushing in the male terminal. When you hear a
pop, the wire is engaged. To verify that the wire is engaged, tug gently on the wire and be
sure it does not come out. Do not overload the wire: severe damage will result to the plug.

3.5.3.2 Assembly

1. Place the plug in one cover. Be sure that the flange of the plug is in the slot of the cover. See

Figure 3-6.

2. Push the jackscrew through the plug to hold it in.

3. Position each wire across the strain-relief features in the cover. Avoid damaging loads on the
plug by allowing some slack in each wire in the accessory connector assembly’s wire
chamber.

4. Place the second cover onto the plug. Be sure that the flange is protruding through both
covers.

Chapter 4 Motorcycle Radio Installation

4.1 Motorcycle Radio Description

The motorcycle model includes all the same components in the standard radio, with the exceptions
listed in the model charts in the XTL 5000 Basic Service Manual (Motorola publication part number
6881096C73). The following p aragraphs describe the unique items provided with the motorcycle
models.

NOTE: The XTL 5000 Basic Service Manual includes complete parts lists and parts numbers for all

parts shown in the exploded views in this chapter.

4.1.1 Transceiver Enclosure

The transceiver is mounted in the weather-resistant enclosure that consists of a bottom housing and
a hinged top cover. The top cover has a locking latch that requires a key to open. The enclosure is
mounted above the rear motorcycle wheel, oriented so that the lock is forward and the hinged cover
opens toward the rear of the motorcycle. The bottom housing has a grommeted hole for cable entry
and weep holes to permit water drainage.

The enclosure is mounted on the motorcycle with a universal mounting plate and shock and vibration
isolators. A large, braided ground-strap (installed between the mounting plate bolts and the
motorcycle frame) grounds the transceiver.

4.1.2 Control/Display Unit

All radio functions, except push-to-talk (PTT), are activated from the control head, which also is
weather-resistant. The control head and the external speaker are mounted for easy access near the
center of the handlebars. The control head is positioned for unobstructed viewing, and it may be
tilted on the horizontal axis for ease of viewing. The microphone cable port on the front of the control
head is plugged and is not used.

4.1.3 Control Head Cable

The control-head cable connects the control head to the transceiver. This 2.8-meter cable is routed
along the motorcycle’s frame and has weather-resistant connections at both ends. Excess cable is
coiled under the transceiver inside the weather-resistant enclosure.

Each end of the cable is strain-relieved with jackscrews at the control head and the transceiver. The
cable is shielded to reduce the effects of radio frequency interference and ignition noise.

4.1.4 Microphone

A weather-resistant, palm microphone and coiled cord plug into a pigtail connector on the control
cable. The microphone attaches to a hang-up bracket located within easy reach of the motorcycle
rider. The coiled cord is long enough to be operated by someone standing next to the motorcycle, yet
short enough to not interfere with the motorcycle’s steering or operation.

4.1.5 External Speaker

A 3.2-ohm, 10-watt-rated-audio-power, external speaker is mounted on the front of the motorcycle.
The speaker cable is routed along the motorcycle frame to the transceiver’s rear accessory
connector. A sealed, weather-resistant, speaker-muting (toggle) switch is mounted on top of the
speaker.

The external speaker connects to the rear accessory connector of the transceiver.

4-2 Motorcycle Radio Installation: Installation Overview

4.1.6 Headset Capability

The motorcycle radio is compatible with headset accessories that would provide hands-free
operation of the radio. Motorola does not manufacture headset equipment, but provides the
interconnection for headset equipment with the motorcycle radio. Aftermarket headset equipment is
available through Motorola (see

Appendix A: Replacement Parts Ordering).

4.1.7 Antenna

The antenna is mounted on top of the transceiver’s weather-resistant enclosure. The enclosure’s
metal lining acts as the antenna’s ground plane.

4.1.8 Ignition Wire

The ignition wire connects to the motorcycle’s fuse box and is routed along the motorcycle frame to
the transceiver’s rear accessory connector.

The radio is wired so that transmission is inhibited if the motorcycle’s ignition switch is off. If the PTT
switch is pressed with the ignition off, a low-frequency tone sounds. The receiver is controlled by the
control head on/off switch.

4.2 Installation Overview

4.2.1 General

All XTL 5000 radios are tested and inspected before shipment. It is, however, suggested that the
transmitter frequency, deviation, and power output be checked at the time of installation. It is the
license holder’s responsibility to ensure that the operating parameters of his station comply with
applicable laws governing radio communications equipment. For tests and alignment procedures,
refer to the appropriate service manual (refer to “Related Publications” on page v).

Generally, the installation of the motorcycle radio takes place in the following parts:

• Mounting the universal mounting plate and related hardware at the rear of the motorcycle;

• Mounting the control head, speaker, microphone, and related hardware forward on the
motorcycle;

• Routing the power cable, control-head cable, speaker cable, and ignition cable to the weather­resistant enclosure;

• Mounting the weather-resistant enclosure and radio chassis, and connecting the cables;

• Mounting the antenna to the weather-resistant enclosure.

A universal mounting plate, supplied by Motorola, is first mounted to either a motorcycle carrier at the
rear of the motorcycle or to the rear frame of the motorcycle itself. The mounting procedures for the
universal mounting plate vary from motorcycle to motorcycle. Therefore, the procedures given in this
manual for installing the mounting plate may not specifically apply, but are provided for guidance.

The control head, speaker, and microphone are mounted forward on the motorcycle, on or near the
steering column. There are several possible mounting configurations which use a combination of
Motorola and customer-built brackets. These configurations are outlined in this manual. Because of
the large number of motorcycle makes and models in existence, the customer-built brackets are
necessary to tailor the mounting of the Motorola equipment to the particular motorcycle being used.
Suggestions for customer-built brackets are given in this manual.

The power cable, control-head cable, speaker cable, and ignition cable are routed to the weather­resistant enclosure position. The enclosure and the radio chassis are then mounted. Special care is
required when connecting cables to the radio equipment within the enclosure.

Motorcycle Radio Installation: Installation Overview 4-3

4.2.2 Important Installation Hints

Consider the following when mounti ng the radio compo nen ts:

• Excess lengths of control-head, power, ignition, and speaker cables must be routed in the
enclosure as shown in

• All components must be mounted securely in order to withstand the constant and sometimes
severe vibration experienced on a motorcycle.

• No cantilever action, which could cause severe vibration, should be generated in the mounting
hardware.

• The control head and microphone must be placed for ease of accessibility by the motorcycle
operator.

• Forward components (control head, microphone, and speaker) should not interfere with visual
or physical access to contr ols and ins tr ume nts.

• Forward components should not interfere with the handling of the motorcycle.

• Cabling between the control head and the radio chassis should be run to minimize interference
with operator movements.

• The weather-resistant enclosure should be placed to avoid any interference with the motorcycle
operator.

• Electrical continuity must be present through the enclosure shock mounts to the motorcycle
frame for proper electrical and RF grounding.

• The antenna is designed for mounting on the top of the weather-resistant enclosure.

• Only the supplied microphone mounting clip should be used to ensure secure mounting of the
microphone. This clip has a very strong spring to ensure positive retention of the microphone
over rough terrain. Also, there must be electrical continuity from this clip to the motorcycle
frame for dc grounding.

• Direct access to the microphone should be provided from both sides of the motorcycle.

• Sufficient slack in the microphone coiled cord should be allowed so as not to impede steering.

• Mounting hardware must be stainless steel to prevent corrosion.

Figure 4-8.

4.2.3 Parts Identification

The following installation procedures refer to Figure 4-1 through Figure 4-9. Detailed descriptions of
the mounting hardware used in each procedure are provided in parts lists located in the exploded
views located in the XTL 5000 Basic Service Manual (Motorola publication part number
6881096C73). Those parts supplied by Motorola are contained in one of the following kits:

• Motorcycle Weather-Resistant Microphone

• Motorcycle Weather-Resistant Speaker with Mute Switch

• Motorcycle Hardware Kit SECURENET or Motorcycle Hardware Kit

• Motorcycle Power Cable Kit

• Motorcycle Mounting Kit

• Weather-Resistant Enclosure (White)

• Weather-Resistant Enclosure (Black)

4.2.4 Order of Installation

Before starting the installation, familiarize yourself with the mounting hardware (see Figure 4-1
through

6881096C72-B September 9, 2003

Figure 4-9). Perform the installation procedures in the order that follows.

4-4 Motorcycle Radio Installation: Installing the Universal Mounting Plate

1. Install the universal mounting plate on the motorcycle.

2. Install the control head and speaker.

3. Install the microphone hang-up clip.

4. Install the cables.

5. Install the weather-resistant enclosure on the universal mounting plate.

6. Route the cables inside the weather-resistant enclosure.

7. Install the transceiver in the weather-resistant enclosure.

8. Install the antenna on the enclosure.

4.3 Installing the Universal Mounting Plate

The universal mounting plate, supplied with the motorcycle radio, must be mounted on the
motorcycle first. It provides the base on which the weather-resistant enclosure is to be mounted. The
method used for mounting the plate depends on the make and model of the motorcycle and whether
the plate is mounted to a carrier or to the motorcycle chassis. After the plate has been securely
mounted to the motorcycle, mounting the weather-resistant enclosure onto the plate is
straightforward.

Figure 4-1 illustrates the universal mounting plate mounted to a motorcycle carrier. Since there are

so many makes and models of motorcycles and motorcycle carriers, it is impossible to give specific
step-by-step instructions for mounting the universal mounting plate. However, noting the following
considerations will aid in the installation procedure.

• A minimum of holes are predrilled into this plate as supplied. Mounting holes must be drilled as
required for the particular motorcycle on which the plate is being mounted.

• The universal mounting plate should be mounted on the motorcycle in such a manner that the
later mounting of the weather-resistant enclosure will not interfere with the motorcycle seat
back, with any other obstacles, or with the motorcycle operator. The enclosure may be tempo­rarily bolted to the universal mounting plate and the unit positioned on the motorcycle to ensure
the above criteria are met.

• To ensure a good grounding path from the universal mounting plate to the motorcycle carrier or
frame, stainless steel lockwashers must be used with the mounting hardware in two areas to
score through the paint on the universal mounting plate and on the carrier or frame, thereby,
providing good electrical contact with the underside of the motorcycle carrier or motorcycle
frame.

Figure 4-1. Universal Mounting Plate Installation (Part of Radio Enclosure Kit)

September 9, 2003 6881096C72-B

Motorcycle Radio Installation: Installing the Speaker and Control Head 4-5

Follow the procedures below to mount the universal mounting plate to the motorcycle (see

Figure 4-1).

1. Determine the mounting position for the mounting plate.

2. Determine whether stainless steel spacers are required for clearance in mounting the plate.

3. Drill four 9/32-inch holes in the mounting plate and the corresponding motorcycle carrier or
chassis for mounting the plate.

4. Attach the universal mounting plate to the motorcycle using four machine screws, eight
lockwashers, and four nuts. Tighten screws securely. The lockwashers must cut through the
paint on the plate and motorcycle carrier or frame to ensure a good ground path.

4.4 Installing the Speaker and Control Head

The control head mounting location and configuration is determined largely by the make and model
of motorcycle. Two different mounting configurations are described below. One involves mounting
the speaker and control head together as a unit using the combination speaker/control-head bracket
(shown in
using a smaller control-head bracket supplied by Motorola. In this case, the speaker is mounted
elsewhere. This section outlines installation procedures for each configuration mentioned above.
The customer (or installer) is in the best position to determine the most appropriate mounting
configuration for the control head and speaker based on the particular motorcycle on which the
equipment is to be mounted.

Figure 4-2) supplied by Motorola. Alternately, the control head may be mounted by itself

!

C a u t i o n

When determining its location, position the control head so
that it is clearly visible and within easy reach of the motorcycle
operator.

4-6 Motorcycle Radio Installation: Installing the Speaker and Control Head

4.4.1 Handlebar Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted Together

Figure 4-2 illustrates the combination speaker/control head bracket. This combination bracket is

used only when the control head and speaker are to be mounted as a unit. Also illustrated in

Figure 4-2 is a handlebar-mounting bracket which may be required if the combination speaker/

control-head bracket cannot be easily mounted to the motorcycle. In this case the handlebar­mounting bracket is mounted to the motorcycle, and the combination bracket is then mounted to the
handlebar-mounting bracket.

Figure 4-2. Handlebar Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted T ogether

Provision has been made on the combination speaker/control-head bracket for mounting the
microphone hang-up clip. If that mounting is desired, the hang-up clip must be attached to the
bracket before installing the control head and speaker. See

Hang-Up Clip” on page 4-11

described below.

1. Determine the location where the speaker/control head is to be mounted. Consider how the
speaker/control-head bracket may be mounted, and whether or not a handlebar-mounting
bracket is needed. Take care to select a location that is not only mechanically convenient, but
is located for ease of operation.

NOTE: The angle at which the handlebar-mounting bracket or the speaker/control-head bracket is

mounted to the motorcycle determines the firing angle of the speaker.

2. If the handlebar-mounting bracket is needed, install it first.

3. Mount the speaker/control-head bracket, either directly to the motorcycle, or, if used, to the
handlebar-mounting bracket, using four stainless-steel machine screws, lockwashers, and
nuts.

4. Mount the 9-pin D-connector end of the motorcycle control-head cable to the speaker/control­head bracket, using two machine screws, flat washers, and nuts. (Cable routing directions
appear later in this section.)

5. Mount the speaker on the speaker/control-head bracket, using two machine screws and
lockwashers. Torque these screws to 20 in.-lbs.

6. Attach the control-head cable to the control head and tighten the locking screws on the
connector. This connection must be made before you mount the control head in the bracket.
(Cable routing directions appear later in this section.)

7. Mount the control head to the bracket, using two machine screws, lockwashers, and flat
washers.

8. Adjust the control head viewing angle by loosening its mounting screws and rotating the
control head to the desired angle. Then, retighten screws to 20 in.-lbs torque. This concludes
the speaker/control-head installation.

4.4.2 Fuel Tank Console Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted Together

Some motorcycles provide a console for mounting radio equipment. This console is attached to the
top of the fuel tank. With the use of a mounting bracket, screws, nuts, and lockwashers, the
combination speaker/control-head bracket can be mounted to this console.
type of mounting.

Figure 4-3 illustrates this

The console attachment screws must be removed, and the console must be lifted slightly from the
fuel tank to gain access in order to attach mounting hardware, and to route cables later.

In this installation, the microphone (mic), mic hang-up bracket, and mic extension bracket will
interfere with handlebar travel.

Installation using this method is the same as in

and Control Head Mounted Together” on page 4-6

4.4.3 Handlebar Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted Separately

It may be necessary to use the smaller control head bracket (part no. 07-80127N02) and mount the
speaker and microphone hang-up clip in another location on the motorcycle.

Before installing the control head using the bracket described above, the control-head end of the
control-head cable should be temporarily fastened to the control head, and the control head fastened
to its bracket. Motorola-supplied spacers and the mic-cable bracket are required to mount the control
head to the handlebar. This mic-cable bracket has holes to mount the microphone-cable connector.

Follow these procedures when mounting the smaller control-head bracket:

1. Determine the location at which the control head is to be mounted. Take care to choose a
location that is not only mechanically convenient, but is located for ease of operation.

2. Securely mount the Motorola-supplied spacers, mic-cable bracket, and small control-head
bracket to the handlebars.

3. Mount the 9-pin D-connector end of the motorcycle control-head cable to the mic-cable
bracket, using two machine screws, flat washers, and nuts. (Cable routing directions appear
later in this section.)

4. Attach the control-head end of the cable to the control head and tighten the locking screws on
the connector.

5. Mount the control head to the small control-head bracket, at the proper viewing angle, using
two wing screws. Tighten firmly. This concludes the control-head installation.

4.5 Installing the Speaker

Use the following procedure when the speaker is mounted separate from the control head. The
speaker bracket supplied with the speaker may be used alone if a suitable location can be found, or
if necessary, a customer-supplied bracket may be fabricated for mounting the speaker.

1. Determine the location in which the speaker is to be mounted and whether there is a
requirement for a customer-supplied bracket.

Motorcycle Radio Installation: Installing the Microphone Hang-Up Clip 4-11

2. Fabricate a bracket if required. Use the Motorola-supplied speaker bracket as a template for
drilling mounting holes. Also drill holes in the fabricated bracket for mounting to the
motorcycle.

3. Mount the fabricated bracket to the motorcycle chassis.

4. Mount the Motorola-supplied bracket to the fabricated bracket using two machine screws, flat
washers, lockwashers, and nuts.

5. Mount the speaker to the speaker bracket using two wing screws. Directions for speaker
cable routing appear later in this section. Speaker mounting is now complete.

4.6 Installing the Microphone Hang-Up Clip

Install the hang-up clip either on the supplied microphone extension bracket or on the side of the
speaker/control head bracket. Both methods are shown in
location and install as described in the following paragraphs.

NOTE: Wherever the hang-up clip is mounted, it must be DC grounded for proper operation. After

mounting the clip, be sure there is electrical continuity between the clip and the motorcycle
chassis.

4.6.1 Extension Bracket Mounting

Using this method, you can mount the clip so that it faces the operator.

Figure 4-2. Determine the mounting

1. Attach the bracket to the speaker/control-head bracket using two machine screws, four
lockwashers, and two nuts as shown in

2. Torque nuts to 20 in.-lbs torque.

3. Fasten the hang-up clip to the extension bracket using two machine screws, lockwashers,
and nuts as shown in

4. Torque nuts to 20 in.-lbs torque.

Figure 4-2, Detail A.

4.6.2 Speaker/Control Head Bracket Side Mounting

Attach the hang-up clip to the left side of the speaker/control-head bracket using two machine
screws, lockwashers, and nuts as shown in

Figure 4-2. Torque nuts to 20 in.-lbs. torque.

4.6.3 Other Hang-Up Clip Mounting

To mount the microphone hang-up clip in another location, a customer-supplied bracket may be
used. Suggested locations include the handlebars, fuel-tank console, or any location which provides
easy access to the microphone without blocking controls and indicators and without interfering with
motorcycle handling. See
clip mounting methods.

1. Fabricate a bracket, then secure it to the motorcycle.

2. Use two machine screws, lockwashers, and nuts to secure the hang-up clip to the customer­supplied bracket. Ensure that the microphone clip is DC grounded to the motorcycle chassis
(a grounding lug and strap are provided in the hang-up clip kit for this purpose) – this is
essential for proper radio operation.

4.7 Installing Cables

Five cables must be installed to interconnect the components of the radio system as shown in

Figure 4-6. The antenna cable is routed away from the other cables inside the enclosure’s hinged

cover. (See the antenna installation instructions shipped with the antenna option for more antenna­routing information.) The four remaining cables, routed along the motorcycle frame, are described in
the following paragraphs.

NOTE: Removal of the fuel tank and seat from the motorcycle will facilitate routing the cables along

the frame. Motorcycles with consoles attached to fuel tanks require routing cables between
console and fuel tank. In this case the tank is not removed.

Figure 4-6. Cable Routing

1. Speaker Cable — runs from the speaker to the accessory-cable connector inside the
weather-resistant enclosure.

2. Control Cable — runs from the rear of the control head to the front of the transceiver inside
the enclosure.

3. Ignition (Red) Wire Portion of Accessory Cable — runs from the ignition fuse terminal of the
fuse box to the rear area inside the enclosure. The lug for attaching the ignition wire is
contained on the accessory cable.

4. Power Cable — The red, unterminated end runs from the positive terminal of the battery to
the power connector that plugs in the rear of the transceiver. Lugs for attaching the red and
black leads are contained in the motorcycle power-cable kit. The black, unterminated end
runs from a suitable motorcycle chassis ground to the power connector. DO NOT connect the
black lead directly to the negative battery post.

Motorcycle Radio Installation: Installing the Weather-Resistant Enclosure 4-13

You may route the cables in any order. As you route each cable, temporarily fasten it at both ends.
When all cables have been run, permanently fasten the cables with appropriate cable tie wraps.
Observe the following during routing and hook-up:

1. Route the cables so that none interfere with motorcycle operation.

2. Fasten the cables with supplied nylon tie wraps. The wraps should be firmly installed at
frequent intervals along the cable length in such a manner that motorcycle vibration will not
cause metal fatigue and subsequent breakage of the cable wires.

3. Take care to position cables away from parts of the motorcycle that get hot.

Bundle excess cable length inside the weather-resistant enclosure as discussed later in

“Transceiver and Cabling Installation” on page 4-14

The fifth cable is the microphone with coiled cord. Plug the 9-pin D-connector end of the coiled cord
into its mating connector, which was attached near the control head discussed in an earlier
paragraph. Tighten the coiled-cord-retention screws. Insert the S-hook strain relief (terminated to the
coiled cord) into the hole in the mounting bracket. Slide the microphone into the microphone hang-up
bracket.

Figure 4-9 is an exploded view of the enclosure; it shows details that will help to understand

how the enclosure is mounted. After the enclosure is completely mounted, check for proper
ground connection–continuity between the antenna ground plane and the motorcycle frame.

DO NOT connect the ground strap directly to the negative
battery post.

4.9 Transceiver and Cabling Installation

After the weather-resistant enclosure has been installed, the radio chassis (transceiver) is installed in
the enclosure and then appropriate cables are connected. However, before the transceiver can be
installed, the cabling must be properly positioned in the enclosure.

4.9.1 Installing Cabling in the Enclosure

Position the cabling in the weather- re sistant enc losur e as fol low s:

1. Run the speaker, power, control-head, and ignition cables into the enclosure.

2. Lay the excess cable length between the radio mounting bosses in an S configuration as
shown in
as shown.

Figure 4-8. Do not coil any excess cable. Use the supplied tie wraps to bundle cable

NOTE: If the extra cable length is not sufficient to match the illustrated cable routing, then match the

illustration as closely as possible.

3. Connect the speaker cable to the accessory cable connector.

NOTE: The accessory-cable emergency connector is shipped with a shorting plug installed. The

headset connector is also shipped with a shorting plug installed. The plugs must remain in if
an emergency switch and/or headset is not used. If an emergency switch and/or headset is
used, remove the shorting plug(s) and discard.

4. Install the mounting plate in position on top of the cables installed above. Take care not to
damage or pinch the cables when securing the mounting plate in position.

NOTE: At this point, the control-head cable plug should be located at the forward end of the

enclosure, and the power-cable, speaker-cable, and accessory-cable plugs should be located
at the rear of the enclosure.
