The VHF transceiver is protected internally by a 7 A SMD not resettable fuse.  

  Type-specific cable harnesses are also available for the vehicle´s wiring (contact BECKER for 

detailed information).  

  No RF antenna cables or HF cables should be included in the cable harnesses of the system. 

Avoid routing of the cable loom along with other wiring, which carry audio power or pulses.  

  Check the wiring carefully before powering up the unit and check particularly that power 

supply lines have not been reversed.  

Installation of GT6201 transceivers requires correct wiring and configuration. All necessary 

information for common installations including wiring diagrams and recommended installation setup 

configurations are provided in this document. 

2.6 

Antenna Installation 

The transceiver requires a standard 50 Ohm vertically polarized VHF antenna. Follow the antenna 

manufacturer's installation instructions. In addition consider the following recommendations:  

  The COM antenna shall be on an electrical conductive surface or, on a ground plane with 

sufficient area of approximately 60 x 60 cm installed. (VSWR ≤ 3:1)  

2.7

 

Installation Setup for GT6201 

The installation setup enables the technician to set up the equipment configuration on ground.  

2.7.1

 

Entering Installation Setup

 

Hold down the “MDE” key during power up to access the installation setup menu. The “PASSWORD 

DIALOG” screen will then appear.

: “DECIVE INFO

 

 

Insert the 4-digit numerical code password “6435” by turning and pushing the “ROTARY ENCODER”. 

Confirm by a short press on ”STO” key. Now the first page of installation setup shows the “DEVICE 

INFO” screen. 

2.7.2

 

Leaving Installation Setup

 

The installation setup can be left just by switching off the GT6201. All changes done up to that point 

been stored automatically. 

2.7.3

 

Page Up / Page Down in the Installation Setup

 

The installation setup consists of several pages. Navigation within main pages: 

Page Down (next page): pressing “

/SCN” or the “ROTARY ENCODER”. 

Page Up (previous page): pressing “IC/SQL” key. 

Within the sub-pages of the installation setup use the “ROTARY ENCODER” for navigation. 

2.7.4

 

Storage of Setup Data

 

The setting of any parameter is stored immediately after changing the parameter.  

2.7.5

 

Terminate Installation Setup 

Switch “OFF” the GT6201 to terminate the setup. All changes made up to this point will be stored 

automatically. No special action is required before leaving setup page.
