Installation
3-8 9480 HF SSB transceiver
Power supply
Ensure that the power supply to operate your transceiver is
12V DC.
All installations should be checked by a qualified technician
before power is applied to the transceiver.
The heavy duty six metre length of power cable—supplied
with the vehicle mounting cradle for mobile installations—
has been selected to minimise the voltage drop between the
battery and transceiver when in transmit mode. Installation
using a smaller core cable size is not recommended.
All cables should be protected from sharp edges and
mechanical abrasions.
For installation it is recommended that a suitable cartridge
fuse (32 Amp—accessory code 711) is fitted in the active
wire, close to the battery, to protect the power cable from the
possible risk of fire through damaged insulation coming in
contact with the vehicle chassis. Normal glass in-line
automotive fuses are not recommended. The transceiver is
fitted with adequate internal protection.
Connect the power cable between the transceiver and the
battery, or the transceiver and AC power supply.
Note: In extended control installations where the
power and control cables are long and follow a
common path, keep the cables separated by at
least 200 mm. The cables can be brought
together for short distances, for example, to
pass through the same hole in a bulkhead.
Failure to observe this warning will cause
distortion of the transmitted audio signals.
