Ritron RCCR Clean Cab User Manual 

Introduction 

The Ritron RCCR radio is designed specifically for Clean Cab locomotive operation and meets all AAR 
specifications for fit, form and function.  The location of all connectors is consistent with AAR 
standards to allow the easy replacement of a Clean Cab radio without re-routing existing cables. 

The RCCR radio is available in two models: 

RCCR-151

   A single-piece radio with the control head attached to the main radio. 

RCCR-152

   A two-piece radio with the control head detached from the main radio.  

The RCCR-152 control head is connected to the main radio via an AAR standard 19-
pin connector cable.  The female mating connector on the main radio can be located 
on either the rear or the front of the radio to allow maximum flexibility during 
installation.  A small plate covers the unused connector location. The male mating 
connector is located on the back of the RCCR-152 control head.  The control head is 
designed to mount in the standard AAR opening in the locomotive throttle stand or 
overhead.
