Using the 9350 Automatic Tuning Whip Antenna with a 2110 Manpack Transceiver
54 Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual
Protecting the cables
Physical protection
Protect all the cables from sharp edges and mechanical abrasions. Cables that pass
through body panels or internal bulkheads must be protected by grommets. Holes in the
bulkhead need only be large enough to allow the end of the cable with the smaller
connector to pass through. Removing a connector should be a last resort. Externally, the
cable and connectors need to be weatherproofed using self-amalgamating rubber tape.
Electrical protection
The transceiver is provided with adequate internal protection. The transceiver supply is
also fitted with adequate protection.
In a vehicle-battery supply installation, we recommend that a suitable cartridge fuse
(32 A, Codan part number 15-00711) is fitted in the positive wire, close to the battery.
This protects the power cable from risk of fire if damaged insulation should touch
surrounding metalwork or the vehicle chassis.
As the fuse is not included to protect the transceiver circuits, it should be of large
physical and electrical size to eliminate the possibility of voltage drops across the fuse.
CAUTION Removal of factory-fitted connectors may cause cable or connector faults.
CAUTION
Crimp-style coaxial connectors for vehicle installations should be avoided
because they are susceptible to mechanical damage and are not
weatherproofed.
NOTE Any cabling under carpet or floor mats should be clear of foot traffic.
WARNING Do not use normal glass in-line automotive fuses.
