If the battery is located in the rear section of the vehicle, the power cable extends to the battery
location.
• The upper installation (location 1 in Figure 3-12), is recommended over the front installation
(location 2 in Figure 3-12) because of the covering that protects the control head from direct
sunlight.
• To achieve maximum operating range, the antenna should be mounted as high on the vehicle
body as possible without striking overhead obstructions in the normal service area of the
vehicle. Select a mounting location on a flat portion of the vehicle body, compatible with the
maximum allowable high voltage lead-in cable length.

Figure 3-12. Typical Trunk-Mount Micom-Z Installation within Vehicle (Basic Tray)
After determining the locations of the various components within the vehicle, install as follows:
1. Install the whip antenna, or the FAD1410 antenna system, in accordance with the
manufacturer’s installation manual.
2. Install the ATU (when used) in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation manual, and
connect its high-voltage lead to the whip antenna. Make sure to provide a good grounding
connection.
3. Install the Micom-Z mounting tray in the prescribed location, using the procedure described
above for the dash-mount model.
4. Prepare installation holes for the Micom-Z control head. If necessary, use the bracket as
template to mark the position of the holes on the mounting surface.
5. Secure the control head mounting bracket to the surface with the supplied hardware.
6. Adjust the control head position for operator’s convenience, and secure it with the two wing
screws.
7. Install the external speaker in the prescribed position, by securing its bracket to the surface with
the supplied hardware.
8. Connect the grounding strap from the transceiver to the vehicle body (same as described above
for the dash-mount model).
9. Connect the antenna cable to the N-type connector of the ATU. Connect the other end of the
cable to the Micom-Z ANT connector.
10. When using the GPS receiver, route the GPS antenna cable along the prescribed route, and
connect its connector to the GPS connector on the Micom-Z rear panel.
11. Check the fuse installed in the red extension lead.
12. Install the ferrite supplied in the installation kit on the DC power cable, as close as feasible to
the connector.
13. Connect the lugs of the two DC power extension leads to the battery. Pay attention to polarity
(red lead to the positive battery terminal). Make sure that the negative pole of the battery is
connected to the vehicle chassis, as close as possible to the transceiver.
14. Connect the DC power cable to the transceiver VDC IN connector, and route the cable to the
battery location, along the prescribed route.
