Installation of the radio set
Usage as stationary radio set
If you want to use the stabo xm 4006e as stationary radio set, you are in need of a particular
power supply unit for radio sets (optional) with an output voltage of 13.8 V, a continuous current
of 3 A and an electronically stabilized voltage control. Your approved dealer will be happy to advise
you when selecting an appropriate power supply unit.
Usage in a vehicle
If you want to use the stabo xm 4006e as mobile radio set, make sure to observe the given
specifications of the vehicle manufacturer when installing the radio set! Position the radio set
such that neither the movement nor the field of view of the driver/front-seat passenger is restricted.
Make sure to provide a rigid, reliable and almost vibrationless mounting of the radio set. (Even
in the event of a possible accident) it must not present any risk for injury for the vehicle occupants.
Before you fix the mounting bracket using the tapping screws, make sure not to damage any lines
in the vehicle! Furthermore, make sure not to bend any cables or connecting lines and not to
install them on sharp edges or along vehicle components which get hot.
Choose a place for the microphone attachment such that the microphone is always within reach.
Remember that its microphone cord must not interfere with the control elements of the vehicle.
If the space for installing the radio set is so very restricted that the loudspeaker radiation at the
bottom of the radio set is impaired, we recommend you to install an external mobile speaker
(optional). This speaker is connected to the EXT.SP jack (C) situated at the back side of the radio
set. When connecting the external speaker, the internal loudspeaker is automatically deactivated.
Power supply
Your radio set is supplied with a nominal voltage of 13.2 V. By all means, make sure that the used
polarity is correct, since a reverse polarity could damage your radio set (in spite of the integrated
reverse polarity protection)!
The nominal supply voltage amounts to 13.2 V and must not exceed 15 V in any case. The
negative pole is connected to ground (= chassis) as for almost all modern vehicles.
Prior to connecting the radio set, check polarity and voltage: If the vehicle is older, the positive
pole can e.g. also be connected to ground. Some commercial vehicles are supplied with a voltage
of 24 V instead of 12 V. If in doubt, please check with a specialist workshop!
Connection to the vehicle's battery
Your radio set is provided with a power supply cable (A) into which a 2 A fuse is connected. Unless
otherwise provided in the manufacturer's specifications, connect the radio set using the red cable
to terminal 30 (permanent plus) or terminal 15r (radio connection). Connect the black cable
(negative pole) to ground using the shortest possible route.
Lay the power supply cable in the car such that the interferences resulting from the ignition system
are as small as possible.
Notes:
With a burnt-out fuse: First determine and eliminate the cause and insert a new 2 A fuse afterwards!
Always switch the radio set off before leaving the vehicle for optimizing the battery life!
Connection of an external loudspeaker (optional)
At the back side, the radio set is equipped with a jack (
C
) for connecting an external loudspeaker
with an 8 ohms impedance. For improving the fidelity of reproduction, a loudspeaker can be
connected using a 3.5 mm mono jack plug. Make sure to provide a rigid, reliable and almost
vibrationless mounting of the loudspeaker, too. Even in the event of a possible accident, it must
not present any risk for injury for the vehicle occupants.
