INSTALLATION (DUAL CONTROL UNITS)
The Dual Control feature can be configured for either front or remote mount
radio units. Each configuration provides for a Main Control Unit and an
Auxiliary Control Unit. In front mount configurations, the Main Control Unit
is mounted to the radio unit and the Auxiliary Control Unit is located in a
convenient location. In remote mount configurations, the Main Control Unit
is mounted separate from the radio unit, typically located in the vehicle cab
and the Auxiliary Control Unit located in a convenient location
.
It is recommended that the units be programmed at a Service Center first, and
then transferred to the user's installation. However, some installation and
programming cables are designed to facilitate field programming, see Figure
40 thru Figure 43. All radio units in the Dual Control Unit configuration
MUST BE PROGRAMMED PRIOR to final installation.
STEP 1 - PRE-INSTALLATION PROGRAMMING
In order to provide each control unit with the proper identification code, the
radio and control units must be programmed sequentially. The following
sections provide the personality parameters settings required for installing
dual control units. These parameters are defined in the personality by the
radio programming software (ProGrammer - TQS3385).
