Introduction Standard Configurations 1.2 Standard Configurations 1.2.1 Dash Mount Configuration 1-5 NOTE: The dash mount configuration is not applicable for 100W radios and O9 control heads. There are two versions of the APX mobile dash mount. The first are the O2, O5 and O7 control heads which are mounted on the front of the transceiver housing. The second is the O3 control head which is connected to the transceiver via a coiled cable, which is plugged into the CAN connector on the transceiver.

Introduction Standard Configurations 1.2.3 1-13 Multi Control Head The multi control head option allows separate, remotely operated control heads to operate and control the radio. For example, a fire truck could have a control head located in the cab and on the rear of the truck so that the radio could be operated from outside the vehicle. NOTE: The dual control head can be used together in the future.
1-14 1.3 Introduction Motorcycle Configurations Motorcycle Configurations NOTE: The motorcycle configurations are not applicable for 100W radios and O9 control heads. The ASTRO APX mobile motorcycle radio models provide most of the equipment needed for installing a standard ASTRO APX mobile radio on a motorcycle. Most of this radio system is standard equipment. See Chapter 5: Motorcycle Radio Installation for further information. 1.
Chapter 2 Standard Configurations 2.1 Planning the Installation The APX mobile radio operates only in negative ground electrical systems with a valid operating range of 10.8VDC to 16.3VDC. Before starting the radio installation, make sure that the ground polarity of the vehicle is correct. Accidentally reversing the polarity will not damage the radio, but will cause the cable fuses to blow. Planning is the key to fast, easy radio installation.
2-2 2.1.1 Standard Configurations Planning the Installation Installation Examples The mobile two-way radio offers various methods of installation, with accessories placed to the vehicle as desired. The radio can be a dash or remote mount except for the 100W radio or with 09 control head, which can only be mounted remotely. The O9 control head with the radio and the URC can only be mounted remotely (see Figure 2-3). Speaker Antenna 1/4-Wavelength Radio 911 Battery Radio Figure 2-1.

For additional radio functionality as determined by the programming of the ignition switch in CPS, refer to the HELP menu in your CPS (i.
Standard Configurations Planning the Installation 2-15 2.1.3.2 Remote Mount: Power, Ignition, and Emergency Cable Installation The single control head O2, O5, O7 or O9 remote mount configurations receive power from the J200 connector’s red and black wires. The yellow wire at J200 is one ignition sense wire. On mid power radios, the J2 and J600 connectors can also be used for ignition sense. On high power radios, the J200 yellow wire or the J600 connector can be used for ignition sense.

It can be rewired for 65W, 75W, or 130W power levels. To change to another power level, perform the following: 1. Open the Siren/PA connector cover to gain access to the two-connector speaker leads. Do not change the speaker common lead (pin 20). The other lead is connected to pin 35 (for 100W operation). 2.
Standard Configurations Radio Mounting 2.2 2-19 Radio Mounting ! Caution DO NOT mount the radio on a plastic mounting surface without first reinforcing the mounting surface; the weight of the radio may crack or break the mounting surface. DO NOT mount the radio on a flat or concave surface where the radio could be partially submersed in water. This is especially important if the cab area of the vehicle is cleaned by spraying with water.

For screw 0305760W02, the wing screw torque tool (HLN6970_) is designed to securely tighten the trunnion wing screws while installing the radio.
Standard Configurations Radio Mounting 2.2.2 2-23 Remote Mount with Trunnion ! Caution Before installing any electrical equipment, check the vehicle manufacturer’s user manual. The installation of this device should be completed by an authorized servicer or installer. Before making any holes in the trunk for radio mounting, check the vehicle manufacturer's user manual for restrictions (e.g. due to the gas tank location).
2-24 Standard Configurations Radio Mounting 2.2.2.1 100W Radios Only NOTE: Cabling to the front of the radio (TIB) should not be completed with the handle opened as it is needed to be removed to close the handle. It is suggested that the cabling is to be attached to the front of the radio after the radio is assembled into the trunnion. 1. After selecting the mounting location, use the trunnion mounting bracket as a template and mark the positions of the holes on the mounting surface. 2.
Standard Configurations Radio Mounting 2-25 An adjustable trunnion, which allows a number of mounting positions, is supplied for mounting the control unit. The installation must not interfere with the operation of the vehicle or its accessories, nor disturb passenger seating or leg room. The control head must be within convenient reach and viewing of the user. If the trunnion is mounted on a plastic mounting surface, all four mounting screws should penetrate the mounting surface’s supporting metal frame.

Then rotate the lock with the key in it and remove the key to lock the radio. You can install the lock on either side of the radio, and in dash and remote mount installations. Existing Mounting Screw Lock Housing Lock Figure 2-39.
Standard Configurations Power Cables (Transceiver and Control Head) 2.3 2-33 Power Cables (Transceiver and Control Head) Route the RED power cable from both the radio and the control head to the vehicle’s battery compartment, using accepted industry methods and standards. Be sure to grommet the firewall hole to protect the cable.

Standard Configurations Power Cables (Transceiver and Control Head) 2.3.3 2-37 Battery Selector Switch In vehicles which have installed a Battery Selector Switch, the ignition sense (yellow) wire should be the only wire connected to the battery selector switch (see Figure 2-48). Radio transceiver and control head power wires (red) must be connected directly to the vehicle battery.
2-38 Standard Configurations Antenna Installation 2.4 Antenna Installation IMPORTANT: To assure optimum performance and compliance with RF Energy Safety standards, these antenna installation guidelines and instructions are limited to metal-body vehicles with appropriate ground planes and take into account the potential exposure of back seat passengers and bystanders outside the vehicle.
Standard Configurations Antenna Installation 2-39 7. Ensure that any transmitting radio antennas on this vehicle are separated from each other by at least 3 feet (0.9 meter). See Figure 2-49. 8. The minimum distance between the antenna and the radio/accessories should be at least 3 feet (91.44 cm). NOTE: Any two metal pieces rubbing against each other (such as seat springs, shift levers, trunk and hood lids, exhaust pipes, etc.) in close proximity to the antenna can cause severe receiver interference.
2-40 2.4.2 Standard Configurations Antenna Installation Mini-UHF Connection To help aid in the installation of the radio antenna(s), there are labels indicating the frequency. The first is on the FCC label at the top of the radio which calls out the frequency and by using arrow points, which side the RF connector of the frequency is located at the back of the radio. The second is located at the back of the radio, next to the RF connector(s) (see Figure 2-50).
Standard Configurations Antenna Installation 2-41 4. Slide the collar back against the flange. Insert the antenna cable plug’s pin fully into the radio jack, but do not engage the threads. 5. Ensure that the plug’s and jack’s interlocking features are fully seated. Check this by grasping the crimp on the cable jack, rotating the cable, and noting any movement. If the features are seated correctly, there should be NO movement. 6. Finger-tighten the antenna cable plug’s collar onto the radio’s jack. 7.
2-42 2.4.3 Standard Configurations Antenna Installation GPS Antenna Placement The GPS antenna (excluding the Motorcycle GPS antenna) must be placed at least, 3 feet (0.9 meters) away from any transmitting antenna, and the antenna must have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky for best performance. The length of the cabling must be taken into consideration before the installation is started. 2.4.
Standard Configurations Speaker 2.5 2-43 Speaker ! Caution DO NOT ground the radio's speaker leads. This system has a floating speaker output (DC voltage on both leads); damage to the audio circuit will result if either lead is grounded or if they are shorted together. The speaker kit includes a trunnion bracket that allows the speaker to be mounted in a variety of ways. With the trunnion bracket, the speaker can mount permanently on the mounting surface or in accessible firewall areas.
