Control Cable

The control cable (remote mount, extended option) is routed between the

control unit and the motorcycle radio case. In addition to the main cable, the
cable assembly contains a pair of black speaker leads and a single yellow wire
for ignition switch standby control. Normally, the ignition switch standby
control feature is not used in motorcycle applications and the yellow fuse
assembly provided is discarded and the wire terminated. However, at the
customers discretion, the ignition switch standby control feature may be used.

The plug connections include the microphone, speaker, option cable, and

the control cable. Refer to the interconnection diagram 188D6783 and to
diagram 19B802554P23 or P25 (European) for cable identification.

1.

Plug the black speaker leads from the control cable into the speaker cable.

2.

Plug the control cable into the right rear receptacle of the control unit.

Ignition Switch Option

Accessory Cable - The accessory cable (19B802554P24) provides

connections for the external headset, VGE/DES keyloader, and other options
i.e., data terminal, external encoder/decoder, etc. Refer to “Headset Option
Installation.

The ORION radio, as shipped from the factory, has the “ignition sense”
feature disabled. As such, the radio is powered ON or OFF as determined
by the front panel ON-OFF/VOLUME control only (assuming A+ and A-
are connected). If the “ignition sense” feature is to be enabled, open the top
cover of the radio and remove the shield from the logic PWB. Slide switch
SW601 from position 3-2 to 1-2. Replace shield and top cover. Be sure to
apply correct torque to screws holding the top cover in place. Refer to
ORION Maintenance manual for installation instructions.

4.

Insert the power, control, and antenna cables through the square hole in
the case/antenna mounting bracket and then through the bottom case
assembly.

5.

Mount the case mounting bracket and bottom case assembly onto the 4
resilient mounts using the serrated flange nuts and flat washers included
inside the weather resistant case. Refer to Figure 7, Mounting Bracket And
Case Assembly.

6.

Refer to Figure 8 and connect the power cable to the radio. (Refer to Cable
connections).

7.

Position the radio, fins up, inside the bracket in the bottom case assembly
and slide onto the arms. Lock in place using the TORX head screws and
lock washers (Taped to the radio bracket).

8.

Refer to Figure 8 and connect the antenna and control cables to the radio.
(Refer to Antenna Installation).

9.

Mount the antenna to the case/antenna mounting bracket using the M3 x
16 mm pan head screws provided. Refer to Figure 7.

Kawasaki K1000

When installing a radio on the Kawasaki K1000, the radio mounting

bracket on the motorcycle (user supplied) must be modified by adding 4 holes
and notching to allow mounting to the case/antenna mounting bracket. Refer
to Figure 6, Radio Installation, Kawasaki K1000.

To install the radio on the Kawasaki K1000, follow the installation

procedures for the Harley-Davidson, excluding the use of adapter bracket
188D6438P1. This adapter bracket is used only with Harley-Davidson
motorcycles.

RADIO MOUNTING BRACKETS

Radio mounting brackets for all models of bikes are not available from

the factory. Should a special application arise for a custom made radio
mounting bracket, it must be made using 0.125" steel (minimum). When
designing and mounting the bracket, corners/edges should be rounded to the
maximum extent possible.
