20.
Install two ATC-type fuses into the Fuse Blocks.
The
mobile radio requires a 15-amp fuse (blue) and the
control head requires a 5-amp fuse (tan). Install the
correct fuse into the correct Fuse Block!
21.
Tie and stow all cables and wires as necessary so they
remain out of the way of casual contact, and so wire
chafe is avoided.
The photo at the right also includes red and black wires for
control head power. These wires are connected during a later
procedure in this manual.
22.
Apply the sticker included in the Fuse Distribution Rail Kit in the vicinity of the Fuse Block as future
reference for service personnel.
23.
Route the DC Power Cable’s white wire to the vehicle’s fuse box and label it accordingly. Tie and
stow the wire as necessary so it remains out of the way of casual contact and wire chafe is avoided.
The control head wakes up the radio via the CAN port when power is applied.
However, connection of the white sense wire may be needed in future configurations
that do not use the control head (e.g., Data-Only applications). Therefore, it is
recommended that the white wire be labeled, routed up to the vehicle’s fuse box,
coiled, and stowed for possible future use rather than be cut from the DC Power Cable.
CAUTION
Installing a fuse with the wrong amperage rating could cause an unsafe condition
and/or a prematurely blown fuse. Verify the correct fuse value for the radio is installed.
The color of the 15-amp fuse is blue.
CAUTION
The fuse for the control head is rated at 5 amperes. Installing the wrong fuse value
could lead to damage. Verify the control head is wired to the 5-amp (tan color) ATC
fuse! The 15-amp (blue color) ATC fuse must
not
be used for control head power; it
can be returned to stock or stored as a spare for the radio.
CAUTION
When servicing the radio and/or control head, always manually turn all units off and
then pull the main power fuse in the engine compartment.
