RF-5800H 150-WATT COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
INSTALLATION
2.3 TOOLS AND MATERIALS REQUIRED
A typical installation requires wrenches, hammer, punch, pliers, power drill, drill bits, in addition to the tools listed
in Table 1-3.
2.4 UNPACKING AND REPACKING
Equipment is packed in corrugated boxes. A two-piece foam enclosure protects the equipment against corrosion and
rough handling. The boxes and packing materials should be retained in case the equipment is shipped again.
The following paragraphs describe how to unpack and repack the radio system units.
2.4.1 Unpacking
Perform the following procedure to unpack the equipment:
a. Inspect the exterior of the box for signs of damage during shipment. Note any problems and report them
to the proper authority. An external sticker on the shipping box provides additional instructions
concerning inspection of the package.
b. Use normal care to move the boxed equipment into the general location where the installation is to be
performed. Certain boxes, depending on system configuration, may be heavy. Exercise care when
moving boxed assemblies to and from locations.
c. After removing the equipment from the box, check the contents against the packing slip to see that the
shipment is complete. Report discrepancies to Harris/RF Communications' customer service
department (tel: 585-244-5830).
2.4.2 Repacking
Perform the following procedure to repack the equipment:
a. Use the original box if it was retained. If not, use a box that allows three inches of clearance on all sides
of the unit.
b. Use the original packing material if it was retained. If not, use foam packing material to fill the space
between the unit and the box. Surround the entire unit with three inches of foam packing material.
c. Use a good quality packing tape (or straps) to seal the box after closing.
2.5 EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
The following paragraphs describe the power requirements and ancillary items kit required to properly install the
radio system. Cabling, switch settings, unit removal and installation procedures, clearance and ventilation
requirements, and mounting information is also included.
2.5.1 Power Requirements
The RF-5800H 150-Watt Communication System is designed to operate as either a base station or transit case
system with the RF-5051PS, or as a vehicular system from a standard 28 VDC vehicular battery-alternator system,
typical of military vehicles (per MIL-STD-1275).
