The blank control head consists of the following parts:
■ front panel
■ control-head loom with programming connector
■ seals.
The circled numbers in this section refer to the items in Figure 2.8 on
page 34.
Front Panel The front panel E is an injection-moulded plastic part with an aperture for
fitting the programming connector, which is part of the control-head loom
G. A label with the model number is attached to the front panel with self-
adhesive coating and can be replaced for rebranding purposes.
Control-Head Loom The programming connector at one end of the control-head loom and a
foam seal

When the programming connector is not in use, the seal

two screws

The control-head loom with the female-female adapter connects to the
control-head connector of the radio body. For more information refer to
“Control-Head Connectors” on page 42.
There is provision in the blank control head for the fitting of a custom circuit
board.
