Draft 1-6 Introduction Standard Configurations 1.2 Standard Configurations 1.2.1 Dash Mount Configuration - Mid Power NOTE: The dash mount configuration is not applicable for 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 through a coiled cable, which is plugged into the CAN connector on the transceiver.

Draft 1-8 Introduction Standard Configurations 1.2.2 Remote Mount Configuration In the remote mount configuration, the transceiver and the control head are mounted separately in the vehicle. The O2, O5, O7 and O9 control heads are mounted in remote trunnions near the operator. The transceiver and control head are mounted using a trunnion or other mounting hardware. If the transceiver is located in a car trunk, ensure that it is mounted securely and that sufficient cooling is provided.

Draft 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 13.6 V +/- 20%. Before starting the radio installation, make sure that the ground polarity of the vehicle is correct. Accidentally reversing the polarity could damage the radio and cause the cable fuses to blow. Planning is the key to fast, easy radio installation.
Draft 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 with O9 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).

Draft 2-42 2.5 Standard Configurations Speaker 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 results 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.

Draft Chapter 3 Universal Relay Controller Installation The Universal Relay Controller (URC) is an extension of and an orderable accessory for O7 or O9 control head. URC is used to control high power switching peripherals, e.g. lightbar. URC works on all lightbars which can be controlled by power application. URC is connected to the transceiver's MMP port. The URC design consists of a microcontroller and uses 10 relays to control the switching device.
Draft 3-2 Universal Relay Controller Installation Universal Relay Controller Mounting Install the URC as follows: 1. Use the URC trunnion as a template to mark the mounting holes; drill 5/32" holes. If mounting on a plastic surface, use a metal backing plate. 2. Attach the trunnion bracket using all four 10 – 16" x 5/8" self-tapping screws provided. 3. Temporarily install the URC (adjust for proper viewing angle) and fasten it to the trunnion with two wing screws.

Remove the cap nut of power cable gland assembly, and insert the power cable through the cap nut and neoprene seal in the cable gland body. Use power cable with either AWG 6 or AWG 8 only (recommended OD range of cable is 5.5 mm to 9 mm) that is able to withstand 80 A and 50 A respectively, to ensure water sealing of the controller.
