Using the 9350 Automatic Tuning Whip Antenna with a 2110 Manpack Transceiver
Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual 53
Connecting the power supply
Connecting the vehicle battery supply
To connect the vehicle battery supply:
1 Connect the red positive and black negative wires from the power cable of the
transceiver to the positive and negative terminals of the battery, respectively.
1 Fit a suitable fuse as near as practicable to the positive side of the battery
connection.
1 In a mobile installation, route the power cable away from other vehicle wiring,
including high-voltage ignition wiring between the spark plugs, distributor and coil.
Ensure the power cable does not run together with, or parallel to, the control cables
for any long distance.
1 Terminate the transceiver power cable with connector lugs.
1 Secure the power cable using cable ties.
1 Test that the power supply and transceiver work correctly.
Using a terminal block
A terminal block can be fitted where heavy cables are used for long cable runs, or where
the tools or materials may not be available to re-terminate the transceiver power supply
connector. The terminal block is fitted next to the transceiver to connect the cable from
the battery to the transceiver power cable. The length of the cable between the terminal
block and the transceiver should not exceed 500 mm (20 in) so that voltage drop is
minimised.
To fit the terminal block:
1 Cut the connector from the end of the battery cable.
1 Strip 10 mm (½ in) of the insulation from the cable.
1 Insert the cable into the terminal block, ensuring the screws of the terminal block are
completely undone before inserting the wires.
1 Turn the screws into place.
NOTE
A 32 A cartridge fuse (Codan part number 15-00711) is
recommended.
NOTE
Where wiring passes through any bulkhead, provide appropriate
grommets to prevent insulation being cut.
NOTE Observe correct polarity.
NOTE Ensure there are no stray wires.
