TMAA11-06 Extended Single Head Upgrade Kit

© Tait Limited December 2016
If upgrading a TM8200 remote installation that uses components from kit TMAA03-16, the
existing head and body remote interfaces do not support extended distances and must not be
re-used for the upgrade. For best performance the remote cable should also be replaced,
although this may be impractical for some installations. If upgrading a TM9155 remote
installation (or a TM8200 remote installation that uses components from kits TMAA03-05
or TMAA03-19), existing components may be re-used for the upgrade.

if the body remote interface is to be replaced, remove and discard.

the radio body and unplug the loom.

a Assemble the body remote interface (TMAC34)
to the radio body. Ensure the earthing tag is
attached as shown.

in cradle, or security bracket. Refer to the relevant sections in the installation guide, or
the installation instructions included with the mounting kit.
b Prepare the crossover network cables. Before crimping the RJ45 connectors, slide on the
grommets provided for strain relief (recommended). Make sure the cabling has a direct
path and is not interrupted by network devices such as switches or routers.
Refer to the radio service manual for connector pins and signals, and schematics.
c Lay out all cables as per the diagram on
