12 Preparing the U-Bracket Installation TM8100/TM8200 Installation Guide

2.3 Power Source and Ignition Control

The radio allows for different installation configurations for vehicles with respect to ignition signal and standby current. The installation configurations described below are based on the following hardware link configuration:

■ hardware link 1 (+13.8V battery power sense): fitted

■ hardware link 2 (ignition sense): fitted

For more information on the hardware links, refer to Table 3.4 on page 24 and to the service manual.

Direct Connection to the Power Source

Installation without Ignition Signal

The radio’s power cable must always be connected directly to the power source (battery).

Notice Although it is possible to connect the radio in line with the vehicle ignition, this is not recommended, as it may draw too much current and damage the vehicle wiring and steering column or ignition switch. This may also cause the supply voltage of the radio to drop below the specified level.

The radio can always be turned on and off using the on/off button, independent of the ignition signal.

Connect the power cable directly to the power source as described in

"Connecting the Power Cable to the Power Source" on page 19.

If hardware link 1 is fitted (factory default) and the ignition signal is not used, the standby current is approximately 50mA. To reduce the standby current to <3mA either:

■ remove hardware link 1, or

■ connect pin 4 (AUX GPI3) to pin 15 (AGND) of the

auxiliary connector

With the above two options, the radio always stays off when power is first applied. The radio can only be turned on with the on/off button.

Installation with Ignition Signal

Connect the power cable directly to the power source as described in

"Connecting the Power Cable to the Power Source" on page 19.

Connect pin 4 (AUX GPI3) of the auxiliary connector to the ignition signal as described in "Connecting to the Auxiliary Connector (Ignition Signal,

Emergency Switch, External Alert Devices)" on page 22.

The AUX GPI3 line must be programmed to ‘Power Sense (Ignition)’ and active to ‘High’. For more information, refer to the online help of the programming application.

The TMAA04-05 ignition sense kit provides a suitable mating plug for the radio’s auxiliary connector. The plug includes wiring for the the ignition signal and analog ground.

Mounting the Control Head

The control head and its connection loom are delivered separately from the radio body. Before installing the radio, the control head should be mounted on the radio body.

The orientation of the radio body determines which way up the control head is mounted on the radio body.

Notice It may be necessary to mount the radio upside down to maintain a gap of more than 3/8 inch (10 mm) for air circulation between the underside of the radio body and the mounting surface.

14 Installing the Radio TM8100/TM8200 Installation Guide

Figure 3.1 Mounting the control head

1. Plug the control-head loom onto the control-head connector.

2. Place one edge of the control head on either the top or bottom pair

of snap features on the front of the radio body, then rotate to snap the opposite edge into place.

Removing the Control Head

Notice During this procedure, take care that the control-head seal is

not damaged. Damage to this seal reduces environmental protection.

3.2 Selecting the Mounting Position

Requirements for Safe and Convenient Installation

Gap Between Radio Body and Mounting Surface

Ensure the mounting position complies with the following safety warnings:

Warning Safe radio mounting!

■ Mount the radio securely so that it will not break loose in

the event of a collision. An unsecured radio is dangerous to the vehicle occupants.

■ Mount the radio and the microphone where they will not

interfere with the deployment of airbags, the vehicle operator controls, the vehicle operator’s view.

Caution The bottom surface of the radio and the heatsink fins can become hot during prolonged operation. When installing the radio, position the radio so that it is not possible for the radio user to touch the bottom surface of the radio and the heatsink fins.

Notice It may be necessary to mount the radio upside down to maintain a gap of more than 3/8 inch (10 mm) between the bottom surface of the radio body and the mounting surface.

Inspect the vehicle and determine the safest and most convenient position for mounting the radio. Make sure that there is sufficient clearance behind the radio for the heatsink and cables.

IP54 Protection Class Considerations

The radio fulfils the requirements of the IP54 protection class.

Notice However, do not mount the radio in areas where it can be temporarily submerged from an accumulation of water or other liquids (e.g. when using a high-pressure cleaning device).

The IP54 protection class does not apply when:

■ the control head is removed from the radio body

■ the bungs are removed from the auxiliary connector or the cavity for the

external options connector (fitting an auxiliary connector or external options connector will not restore the IP54 protection class)

■ the programming connector cover seal is not installed (blank control

head)

■ the RJ45 connector bungs are not installed (RJ45 control head)

■ the grommet of the microphone or hand-held control head is not

installed

■ an accessory is added which is not rated to IP54 (e.g. control-head

interface box or hand-held control head remote interface box)

16 Installing the Radio TM8100/TM8200 Installation Guide

3.3 Mounting the U-Bracket

The U-bracket can be used to install the radio on the dashboard or on any sufficiently flat surface (e.g. cabin floor or trunk). The U-bracket can be mounted using the self-drilling screws and washers provided in the installation kit, or nuts and bolts (not included).

Caution Although an industrial-strength recloseable fastening system can be used to support the installation, for safety reasons Tait does not recommend this as a mounting option.

Notice When mounting the radio on a surface, check whether the mounting screws will screw into material providing sufficient strength. Reinforce the mounting surface, if required.

1. If the U-bracket is being mounted over a curved surface, bend the

tabs at the bottom of the U-bracket slightly to match the surface shape.

2. Hold the U-bracket in the position chosen for the radio and use the

mounting holes as a template to mark the mounting locations. Use at least four screws to install the U-bracket.

The screws provided are self-drilling. For more precise positioning, predrill ∅ 1/8 inch (3 mm) pilot holes for self-drilling screws. Reduce the hole size in metal that is less than 1/32 inch (1mm) thick.

Notice Ensure that drilling at the selected points will not damage existing wiring.

3. Drill any holes required for cables and install suitable grommets or

bushings in the holes.

4. Screw the U-bracket in the chosen mounting position using the self-

drilling screws and washers provided. When tightening the screws, ensure that this does not distort the U-bracket.

This section provides information on installing an external antenna within the RF exposure limits.

Install the external antenna according to the antenna manufacturer’s instructions. Good quality 50 Ω coaxial cable must be used, such as RG58 or UR76.

Notice Route the cable in a manner that minimizes:

■ coupling into the electronic control systems of the vehicle

■ coupling of electric vehicle systems, such as alternators, into the

radio Avoid sharp bends in the cable. These distort the cable and alter its electrical characteristics.

Warning RF exposure hazard!

To comply with FCC RF exposure limits, mount the antenna at a location such that no person or persons can come closer than 35 inches (0.9m) to the antenna.

For >25W radios:

>25W

25W

■ VHF radios must be installed using an antenna mounted

centrally on the vehicle roof, with a gain of 2.15dBi or

5.15dBi.

■ UHF and 800MHz radios must be installed using an

antenna mounted either centrally on the roof with a gain

of 2.15dBi or 5.65dBi, or centrally mounted on the trunk

with a gain of 5.65dBi. For 25W radios:

■ The radio must be installed using an externally mounted

antenna with a gain of either 2.15dBi or 5.15 dBi.

Terminating the Antenna Cable

1. Run the free end of the coaxial cable to the radio’s mounting position and cut it to length, allowing approximately 8 inches (200m m) excess at the radio end.

2. Terminate the free end of the antenna cable with the mini-UHF plug or BNC plug (supplied) as shown in Figure 3.4.

Power

Notice This radio is designed to operate from a nominal 12V negative ground supply and may draw up to 15A of current. The radio will tolerate a supply voltage range of 10.8V to 16.0 V at the radio.

In passenger vehicles, the radio is always connected directly to the battery using the power cable provided.

Notice Do not connect the radio to the center tap of two 12V batteries! This may result in damage to the radio due to earth loops, in particular when the negative lead is disconnected from the vehicle battery. It may also result in overcharging or undercharging of the batteries, reducing their service life.

In trucks, where direct connection to the battery is often not possible, the radio can be connected to a suitable terminal inside the fuse box that is connected directly to the battery.

24V-to-12V Converter

In vehicles with a supply voltage larger than 16.0V, such as many trucks, it is essential to provide a 24V-to-12 V converter with a minimum rating of 15A for radios >25W and 10A for the 25W radio. This will isolate the radio

>25W 25W

from excessive battery voltage and provide the correct DC operating conditions. Note that most 24 V-to-12 V converters already fitted are not rated sufficiently.

Standby Current When connecting the radio to the battery without using the ignition signal

as described on page 25, the standby current is approximately 50mA.

TM8100/TM8200 Installation Guide Installing the Radio 19 © Tait Limited November 2012

When using the ignition signal to turn off the radio, the standby current is reduced to <3mA.

To reduce the standby current from 50mA to <3 mA without using the ignition signal, connect pin 4 (AUX GPI3) and pin 15 (GND) of the auxiliary connector.

Connecting the Power Cable

Notice Although it is possible to connect the radio in line with the

vehicle ignition, this is not recommended, as it may draw too much current and damage the vehicle wiring and steering column or ignition switch. This may also cause the supply voltage of the radio to drop below the specified level.

Notice Disconnecting the vehicle’s battery may cause problems with some electronic equipment, such as vehicle alarms, engine management systems, and in-vehicle entertainment systems. Check that the vehicle owner has the necessary information to make all electronic equipment function correctly after battery reconnection.

Notice If the battery is not disconnected, exercise extreme caution during the installation and install the fuses only when the installation is ready to be checked. For more information, refer to "Checking the

Installation" on page 29.

1. Disconnect the vehicle’s battery unless specifically prohibited from doing so by the customer, vehicle manufacturer, agent, or supplier.

Notice Route the cable in a manner that minimizes coupling of electric vehicle systems such as alternators into the radio.

>25W 25W

Notice Protect the power cable from engine heat, sharp edges and from being pinched or crushed.

2. Run the power cable between the radio’s mounting position and the power source and cut it to length, allowing approximately 8 inches (200 mm) excess at the radio end.

3. Plug the power cable into the power connector of the radio.

Warning Danger of fire! The radio’s protection mechanisms

rely on the correct fuses on both the negative and positive power supply leads being present. Failure to fit the correct fuses may result in fire or damage to the radio. The correct fuse types are:

■ >25W radios: 20A fuses (Tait IPN 265-00010-81)

■ 25W radios: 10A fuses (Tait IPN 265-00010-80)

4. Cut the negative and the positive wires where the in-line fuse holders will be placed (as close to the power source as possible).

20 Installing the Radio TM8100/TM8200 Installation Guide

Notice Do not install the fuses until the installation is ready to be checked. For more information, refer to "Checking the Installation" on

page 29.

5. Insert each end of the negative wire into each of the fuse

crimp-terminals and crimp them to force the metal contacts onto the wires.

6. Push the two crimp-terminals into the clear plastic fuse cover. Close

the cover while the next steps are completed.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the positive wire.

8. Connect the negative wire to the battery ground terminal.

9. Connect the positive wire to the battery positive terminal.

Notice Do not install the fuses until the installation is ready to be checked. For more information, refer to "Checking the Installation" on

page 29.

3.6 Connecting a Remote Speaker

If a high-power remote speaker is required, Tait recommends using:

>25W 25W

■ TMAA10-06 high-power remote

speaker for >25W radios

■ TMAA10-03 high-power remote

speaker for 25W radios

The remote speaker is installed in parallel with the radio’s existing internal speaker. It can be installed at some distance from the radio, or it can be used to increase the volume of the audio from the radio’s existing internal speaker.

If a different speaker is used, receptacles for the speaker pins of the power connector are provided with the installation kit.

■ Connect the speaker to pins 2 (SPK–) and 3 (SPK+) of the power

connector described on page 19.

For more information, refer to the installation instructions provided with the speaker, or to the relevant section of the service manual.

3.7 Connecting to the Auxiliary Connector (Ignition Signal, Emergency Switch, External Alert Devices)

The auxiliary connector can be used to connect external devices and signals that are typically connected to a radio. These devices and signals include:

■ the ignition signal to power up and power down the radio

■ an emergency switch to power up the radio (if required) and then enter

emergency mode

■ external alert devices

Auxiliary Connector The radio’s auxiliary connector is a 15-way standard-density D-range

socket.

The space for a mating plug is limited to 1 5/8 inch (41mm) in width and 11/16 inch (18 mm) in height. Although most plugs will fit this space, it is recommended that you test the plug to be used before manufacturing a cable.

Some input levels of the auxiliary connector depend on how the internal hardware links are fitted (refer to Table 3.3). For more information on hardware links refer to "Hardware Links and Power-Sense Options" on

page 24.

Ignition Signal The ignition signal can be used to power up and power down the radio.

This will turn the radio off when the ignition key is off to avoid flattening the battery, and will turn the radio on or return to its previous state (as programmed) when the ignition key is on.

A TMAA04-05 ignition sense kit is available. The kit comprises a mating plug for the radio’s auxiliary connector and a 13 foot (4m) length of cable to connect to the vehicle’s ignition signal. Refer to the installation instructions supplied in the kit for full details.

Notice The AUX GPI3 line must be programmed to ‘Power Sense (Ignition)’ and active to ‘High’. For more information, refer to the online help of the programming application.

■ Connect the ignition signal to pin 4 (AUX GPI3) of the auxiliary

connector.

Notice The logic thresholds for AUX GPI3 are based on 3V3 levels. However, AUX GPI3 can be connected directly to a +13.8 V ignition signal (for input levels, refer to Table 3.3 on page 23).

TM8100/TM8200 Installation Guide Installing the Radio 25 © Tait Limited November 2012

Emergency Switch

The radio allows for connection of an emergency switch to any input line to enter the emergency mode. If connected to the AUX GPI2 input line, the radio can also use ‘emergency power sense’ to power up the radio to enter the emergency mode.

The selected input line must be programmed to ‘Enter Emergency Mode’ and active to ‘Low’. To use ‘emergency power sense’, hardware link LK3 must be fitted (factory default), and AUX GPI2 must be used. For more information, refer to "Hardware Links and Power-Sense Options" on

page 24, the service manual and the online help of the programming

application.

■ Connect a normally open switch between the pin of the input line (pin 5

for AUX GPI2) and pin 15 (AGND) of the auxiliary connector.

External Alert Device

The radio allows for output to external alert devices using the digital GPIO lines of the auxiliary connector and the internal options connector.

AUX GPIO4 can be fitted with a power MOSFET (Q707) to directly connect external alert devices (e.g. flashing light, buzzer, horn relay) to the radio. Also, resistor R768 must be removed.

Notice While the MOSFET is rated at 12 A (with heat sink), the maximum allowable current of the connector and radio’s earthing system is 2 A. Therefore, a horn must not be connected directly to the radio. A horn relay must be used.

The selected output line must be programmed to ‘External Alert 1 or 2’, active to ‘Low’, and signal state to ‘Momentary’.

■ Connect the external alert device to the pin of the output line (pin 10

for AUX GPIO4) and pin 8 (+13V8 SW) of the auxiliary connector (or a different positive battery connection).

This means that the negative side of the alert device must be connected to AUX GPIO4 and the positive side to pin 8 (+13V8 SW). The external alert device must be capable of accepting a voltage of between 10V and 18 V.

Section 6 LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY

6.1. The commencement date and the term of the Software war ranty will be a period of one (1) year from Tait shipment of the Software. If Licensee is not in breach of any obligations under this Agreement, Tait warrants that the unmodified Software, when used properly and in accordance with the Documentation and this Agreement, will be free from a reproducible defect that eliminates the functionality or successful operation of a feature critical to the primary functionality or successful operation of the Software. Whether a defect has occurred will be determined solely by Tait. Tait does not warrant that Licensee’s use of the Software or

the Designated Products will be uninterrupted, error-free, completely free of Security Vulnerabilities, or that the Software or the Designated Products will meet Licensee’s particular requirements. Tait makes no representations or warranties with respect to any third-party software included in the Software.

6.2 Tait sole obligation to Licensee, and Licensee’s exclusive remedy under this warranty, is to use reasonable efforts to remedy any material Software defect covered by this warranty. These efforts will involve either replacing the media or attempting to correct significant, demonstrable program or documentation errors or Security Vulnerabilities. If Tait cannot correct the defect within a reasonable time, then at Tait option, Tait will replace the defective Software with functionally equivalent Software, license to Licensee substitute Software which will accomplish the same objective, or terminate the license and refund Licensee’s paid license fee. If Tait investigation of the perceived defect reveals that no such defect in fact exists, Tait may recover its costs in respect of such investigation from Licensee.

6.3. Tait disclaims any and all other warranties relating to the Software or Documentation other than the express warranties set forth in this Section 6. Warranties in Section 6 are in lieu of all other warranties whether express or implied, oral or written, and including without limitation any and all implied warranties of condition, title, non-infringement, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose or use by Licensee (whether Tait knows, has reason to know, has been advised of, or is otherwise aware of any such purpose or use), whether arising by law, by reason of custom or usage of trade, or by course of dealing. In addition, Tait disclaims any warranty to any person other than Licensee with respect to the Software or Documentation.

Section 7 TRANSFERS

7.1. Licensee will not transfer the Software or Documentation to any third party without specific prior written consent from Tait. Tait may withhold such consent or at its own discretion make the consent conditional upon the transferee paying applicable license fees and agreeing to be bound by this Agreement.

7.2. In the case of a value-added reseller or distributor of Tait Designated Products, the consent referred to in Section 7.1 may be contained in a Tait Reseller or Tait Distributor Agreement.

7.3. If the Designated Products are Tait vehiclemounted mobile products or hand-carried portable radio products and Licensee transfers ownership of the Tait mobile or portable radio products to a third party, Licensee may assign its right to use the Software which is embedded in or furnished for use with the radio products and the related Documentation; provided that Licensee transfers all copies of the Software and Documentation to the transferee.

7.4. For the avoidance of any doubt, Section

7.3 excludes TaitNet Infrastructure, or the

products listed at any time under network products at: http://www.taitradio.com.

7.5. If Licensee, as a contractor or subcontractor (integrator), is purchasing Tait Designated Products and licensing Software not for its own internal use but for end use only by a Customer, the Licensee may transfer such Software, but only if a) Licensee transfers all copies of such Software and the related Documentation to the transferee and b) Licensee has first obtained from its Customer (and, if Licensee is acting as a subcontractor, from the interim transferee(s) and from the ultimate end user sub license) an enforceable sublicense agreement that prohibits any other transfer and that contains restrictions substantially identical to the terms set forth in this Software License Agreement. Except as stated in the foregoing, Licensee and any transferee(s) authorised by this Section may not otherwise transfer or make available any Tait Software to any third party nor permit any party to do so. Licensee will, on request, make available evidence reasonably satisfactory to Tait demonstrating compliance with all the foregoing.

Section 8 TERM AND TERMINATION

8.1. Licensee’s right to use the Software and Documentation will commence when the Designated Products are supplied by Tait to Licensee and will continue for the life of the Designated Products with which or for which the Software and Documentation are supplied, unless Licensee breaches this Agreement, in which case this Agreement and Licensee's right to use the Software and Documentation may be terminated immediately upon notice by Tait.

8.2. Within thirty (30) days after termination of this Agreement, Licensee must certify in writing to Tait that all copies of the Software have been removed or deleted from the Designated Products and that all copies of the Software and Documentation have been returned to Tait or destroyed by Licensee and are no longer in use by Licensee.

8.3. Licensee acknowledges that Tait made a considerable investment of resources in the development, marketing, and distribution of the Software and Documentation and that Licensee's breach of this Agreement will result in irreparable harm to Tait for which monetary damages would be inadequate. If Licensee breaches this Agreement, Tait may terminate this Agreement and be entitled to all available remedies at law or in equity including immediate injunctive relief and repossession of all nonembedded Software and associated Documentation. Licensee shall pay all Tait costs (on an indemnity basis) for the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement.

Provided however Tait may at its election bring proceedings for breach of the terms hereof or for the enforcement of any judgment in relation to a breach of the terms hereof in any jurisdiction Tait considers fit for the purpose of ensuring compliance with the terms hereof or obtaining relief for breach of the terms hereof.

11.5. THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement is entered into solely for the benefit of Tait and Licensee. No third party has the right to make any claim or assert any right under this Agreement, and no third party is deemed a beneficiary of this Agreement.

11.9. EXPORT. Licensee will not transfer, directly or indirectly, any Designated Product, Documentation or Software furnished hereunder or the direct product of such Documentation or Software to any country for which New Zealand or any other applicable country requires an export license or other governmental approval without first obtaining such license or approval.

11.10. SEVERABILITY. In the event that any part or parts of this Agreement shall be held illegal or null and void by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, such determination shall not affect the remaining terms which shall remain in full force and effect as if such part or parts held to be illegal or void had not been included in this Agreement. Tait may replace the invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision that achieves the original intent and economic effect of this Agreement.

11.11. CONSUMER GUARANTEES. Licensee acknowledges that the licenses supplied in terms of this agreement are supplied to Licensee in business, and that the guarantees and other provisions of prevailing consumer protection legislation shall not apply.
