Installation
Planning To ensure trouble-free, efficient installation, inspect the
vehicle and determine how and where the antenna,
radio and accessories are to be mounted.
It is possible to remote-mount the T2020
II
and T2040
II
models as these have alphanumeric keypads, with the
control head separate from the radio chassis.
This enables the radio to be mounted in a discrete
location, e.g. the rear luggage space, with the control
head mounted in a convenient position for the vehicle’s
occupants. See the M2000 service manual, available
from your Tait dealer, for details of this modification.
Occupant’s
Safety Check that the chosen locations for the radio and
accessories do not endanger the vehicle occupants.
Overhead mounting is not recommended, especially
without an additional safety strap. Check that the radio
can be conveniently operated when seat belts are worn.
Caution:
To prevent interference with vehicle electronic
systems (such as ignition and anti-skid devices), the
radio, its antenna and wiring should be mounted away
from these units and their associated cables.
Allow sufficient airflow around the radio to permit
adequate cooling. Once you have found a suitable
mounting position for the radio, hold it (fitted in the
cradle) in the proposed mounting position and check
there is clearance behind it for the heatsink, cables, etc.
Check that the position provides a large enough flat
surface that the cradle will not be distorted.
Important:
To ensure compliance with EN60950, the
radio should be mounted in such a position that will
prevent the user from coming into contact with the
radio’s heatsink.
