17. Crimp an appropriate electrical terminal to the short red wire. A corrosion-resistant ⅜-inch ring terminal
is included with the cable for this purpose, but another size corrosion-resistant terminal type (not
supplied) may be used if required.
18. Connect the ring terminal directly to the battery’s positive post (or if present, to a stud on the battery’s
main/non-switched power distribution terminal block).
9.2.3 Radio’s Ignition Sense (White Wire) Connection
For Remote-Mount configurations, the radio’s DC Power Cable white wire is not used. This wire should
be labelled and coiled near the vehicle’s fuse box. Proceed to Section 9.3 on page 69 for Control Head
Installation.
Most XL Mobile radio installations have one or more Control Heads connected to the
radio. In an installation of this type, the white wire of the radio’s DC Power Cable requires
no electrical connection. Rather than be cut from the cable, it is recommended that it be
routed up to the vehicle’s fuse box, coiled, labeled, and stowed for possible future use.
The white wire of the Control Head’s DC Power Cable is the radio installation’s ignition
sense input for on/off power control of both the Control Head and radio. Radio on/off
power control is accomplished by the Control Head. The Control Head “wakes-up” the
radio via data activity on the Ethernet link.
