Figure 6: Dash Mount Configuration
For details on this configuration, see section Dash Mount with Trunnion.
1.2.2
Remote Mount Configuration
In the remote control version, the control head and the transceiver are mounted separately in the
vehicle.
The control head is mounted in a remote trunnion (PMLN4912_) near the operator using an extension
cable. The transceiver is mounted using one of the trunnion mounting options shown in Mounting Kits
table. If the transceiver is located in a car trunk, be sure that secure mounting and sufficient cooling are
provided. Do not cover the transceiver with baggage or blankets.
See publication 6878397A01 for the mobile radio remote mount control head installation instructions.
1.3
Base/Control Stations
If the mobile radio equipment is installed at a fixed location and operated as a control station or as a
fixed unit, the radio and antenna installation must comply with the following requirements in order to
ensure optimal performance and compliance with the RF energy exposure limits in the standards and
guidelines listed in the Safety Booklet provided with the radio:
WARNING: For outdoor antenna installations, proper site grounding and lightning protection
are vitally important. Failure to provide proper lightning protection may result in permanent
damage to the radio equipment. Refer to Motorola Solutions Quality Standards Fixed Network
Equipment Installation Manual R56 (which can be obtained by ordering CDROM 9880384V83)
for complete information regarding lightning protection.
• The antenna should be mounted outside the building on the roof or a tower if at all possible and the
antenna cable should be earth grounded.
• The radio chassis must be earth grounded and a lightning surge protector should be used in line
with the radio connector and the outdoor antenna. The lightning surge protector should be earth
grounded and located at the point where the antenna cable enters the building.
• The line voltage power supply must have a proper ground connection.
• As with all fixed site antenna installations, it is the responsibility of the licensee to manage the site in
accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. Also, additional compliance actions such as
site survey measurements, signage, and site access restrictions may be required in order to ensure
that exposure limits are not exceeded.
