ROUTING THE CA CABLES
The path along which you intend to run the CA Cables from the Intercom to the Headset
REMOTE HEAD
The base unit has the ability to be remotely controlled by up to two remote heads. These panels
function the same as the base unit front panel. Regardless of which button is pressed, all units will
respond and update at the same time. Power to the unit is supplied through the CA Cable from the
Intercom. The Remote Head can be mounted
INSIDE
the apparatus either flush on a surface or
with a special bracket.
Modules should also be planned
BEFORE
the installation. The items below are some of
the items to consider when planning where to route the CA Cables.
•
Route the CA Cables away from hot surfaces (such as the vehicle exhaust system).
•
Route the CA Cables away from any moving equipment on the vehicle.
•
Route the CA Cables away from the antenna or the antenna cable.
•
DO NOT
store excess cable. The length of each CA Cable should allow for
approximately 10 inches of excess cable in each run for service loops (
VERY
IMPORTANT,
especially in installations with a radio operating in the lower
frequencies).
•
When routing the CA Cables through bulkheads or other sheet metal, use a
rubber grommet in the hole to prevent damage to the cables.
