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 1-1 and Figure 1-2 show the basic dimensions of the dash mount (mid-power) XTL 5000

radio, and Figure 1-3 and Figure 1-4 show the basic dimensions of the 100W (high-power) 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

NOTE: The dash mount configuration is not applicable for 100W radios.

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.

Figure 1-5. Dash Mount Configuration (All but 100W Radios)

For details on this configuration, see Section 2.2.1 on page 2-9.

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.

Figure 1-7. Remote Mount Configuration (100W Only)

For details on these configurations, see Section 2.2.2 on page 2-10.

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

NOTE: The motorcycle configurations are not applicable for 100W radios.

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 Stations

NOTE: The base/control station option is not applicable for 100W radios.

If mobile radio equipment is installed at a fixed location and operated as a control station
or as a fixed unit, the antenna installation must comply with the following requirements in
order to ensure optimal performance and compliance with the RF energy exposure limits in the
standards and guidelines listed in the 68P81095C99 manual:

•The antenna should be mounted outside the building on the roof or a tower if at all possible.

•As with all fixed site antenna installations, it is the responsibility of the licensee
to manage the site in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and may
require additional compliance actions such as site survey measurements,
signage, and site access restrictions in order to ensure that exposure limits are not exceeded

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.

2-2 Standard Configurations: Planning the Installation

2.1.1 Installation Examples

Your mobile two-way radio offers various methods of installation, including dash or remote mount.
Except for 100W radios, all versions of the XTL 5000 can be either dash or remote mounted (see

Figure 2-1 through Figure 2-6).100W radios can only be mounted remotely (see Figure 2-3,
Figure 2-5, and 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 or

Figure 2-12. For new or existing installations of all but 100W radios, use only the XTL 5000

trunnion, kit number HLN6861_. For new or existing installations of 100W radios, use only the
XTL 5000 trunnion, kit numbers HLN6909_ or HLN6910_.

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 2-9). However, for 100W radios you must follow the procedure detailed below in
Section 2.2.2.1.1. See Figure 2-8 or Figure 2-9 for a remote W4, W5, W7, and W9 installation, and
Figure 2-11 or Figure 2-12 for a remote W3 installation.

2.2.2.1.1 100W Radios Only

1. After selecting the mounting location, use the trunnion mounting bracket as a template and
mark the positions of the holes on the mounting surface.

2. Center-punch the spots you have marked and realign the trunnion in position.

3. Secure the trunnion mounting bracket with the five self-drilling screws provided (see Figure 2-

14 and Figure 2-15).
