6878215A011-14 Introduction Motorcycle Configurations1.3 Motorcycle ConfigurationsNOTE: The motorcycle configurations are not applicable for 100W radios and O9 control heads.The ASTRO APX mobile motorcycle radio models provide most of the equipment needed for installing a standard ASTRO APX mobile radio on a motorcycle. Most of this radio system is standard equipment. See Chapter 5: Motorcycle Radio Installation for further information.1.4 Base/Control StationsNOTE: The base/control station option is not applicable for 100W radios and O9 control heads.If mobile radio equipment is installed at a fixed location and operated as a control station or as a fixed unit, the antenna installation must comply with the following requirements in order to ensure optimal performance and compliance with the RF energy exposure limits in the standards and guidelines listed in the 6881095C99 manual:• The antenna should be mounted outside the building on the roof or a tower if at all possible.• As with all fixed site antenna installations, it is the responsibility of the licensee to manage the site in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and may require additional compliance actions such as site survey measurements, signage, and site access restrictions in order to ensure that exposure limits are not exceeded.1.5 Tools Required for APX Mobile InstallationsTool Part Number10 mm wrench –5 mm Allen wrench –Rubber-coated pliers –Regular slot screwdriver of Phillips #2 –Pin removal tool 6680163F01RF antenna tool HLN6695_Wing screw torque tool HLN6970_
Chapter 2 Standard Configurations2.1 Planning the InstallationThe APX mobile radio operates only in negative ground electrical systems with a valid operating range of 10.8VDC to 16.3VDC. Before starting the radio installation, make sure that the ground polarity of the vehicle is correct. Accidentally reversing the polarity will not damage the radio, but will cause the cable fuses to blow.Planning is the key to fast, easy radio installation. Before starting the installation, inspect the vehicle and determine how and where you intend to mount the antenna, radio, and accessories. Plan wire and cable runs to provide maximum protection from inching, crushing, and overheating.Before installing any electrical equipment, check the vehicle manufacturer’s user manual for warnings or recommendations.The installation of this device should be completed by an authorized servicer or installer. Failure to properly install the device may result in damage to the device, or improper operation.!C a u t i o n

6878215A01Standard Configurations Planning the Installation 2-5NOTE: In dash mount configuration, it is mandatory that a rear accessory cable be attached at the back of a mid power transceiver, in order to ground the Emergency pin to GND. Or, an emergency footswitch or pushbutton switch must be attached at the back of a mid power. If the emergency pin is not grounded, upon the attachment of the A+ cable at the DC connector, the radio will detect a HIGH for the emergency pin state, and assume that emergency has been activated. This will attempt to power on the radio, and will result in excessive current draw and incorrect radio operation. Refer to Section 2.1.3.1 for further details and recommended wiring of emergency in dash mount.Figure 2-8.

IGNITION should be supplied according to TABLE 2-2. See TABLE 2-2 for combinations of wiring theRED and YELLOW cables.The RED and YELLOW power cables connect to either the vehicle battery or the ignition switch. Connect the RED cable directly to the battery. The receiver operates when the control head is on. Connecthe YELLOW cable to the ignition switch. The transmitter operates only when the ignition switch is on.Alternate connections: Connecting both RED and YELLOW cables to the battery allows the control head to turn the receiver and transmitter on or off. Connecting both RED and YELLOW cables to theignition switch allows the ignition switch to turn the receiver and transmitter on or off. Alternator whine and other noise problems may occur. Isolate the RED cable with a Motorola relay (5900813674).
6878215A012-14 Standard Configurations Planning the Installation2.1.3 Radio Operation Wiring for Dash and Remote ConfigurationsDetermine from Table 2-1, Table 2-2, or Table 2-3 the radio functionality you wish to achieve, which is controlled by the vehicle’s ignition switch state, the physical wiring of the radio’s ignition sense (ACC) wire, and by the programmed CPS setting. For additional radio functionality as determined by the programming of the ignition switch in CPS, refer to the HELP menu in your CPS (i.e. Ignition as: Required, Blank, Soft Power Off, TX Inhibit, PTT TX Inhibit, Ignition Only Power Up).Choose a clean ignition point which is not shared in the immediate vicinity by other high current accessories/devices. This will help to reduce the transients on the ignition line. Examples of high-current accessories/devices are: Air Horn, relays, lightbars and etc. It is recommended to wire to the vehicle’s ACC line, not the START or the solenoid side of the ignition circuit. Refer to chapter 6 for best installation practices. The Ignition sense (ACC) cable uses either a 3-amp fuse (6580283E01) or 4-amp fuse (6580283E02).2.1.3.1  Dash Mount: Power, Ignition, and Emergency Cable InstallationThe standard dash mount rear ignition sense cable HLN6863 contains a “thin red” ignition wire, a jumper wire that shorts emergency to ground, and two gray wires attached to an external speaker plug. The thin RED wire is the ignition sensed wire. Refer to Table 2-1, Table 2-2, or Table 2-3 for its correct wiring configurations.NOTE: This cable MUST be attached in order for the radio to operate in Dash mount, regardless of how emergency is programmed in CPS or wired inside the vehicle. Either the emergency jumper wire or an emergency accessory (footswitch or button) must be wired to the rear of the transceiver in Dash mount. Otherwise, upon attachment of the radio’s power cable to the vehicle battery, the radio will incorrectly determine that emergency operation has been activated, such as when an emergency footswitch is de-pressed and the emergency pin is ungrounded.
6878215A01Standard Configurations Planning the Installation 2-152.1.3.2  Remote Mount: Power, Ignition, and Emergency Cable InstallationThe single control head O2, O5, O7 or O9 remote mount configurations receive power from the J200 connector’s red and black wires. The yellow wire at J200 is one ignition sense wire. On mid power radios, the J2 and J600 connectors can also be used for ignition sense. On high power radios, the J200 yellow wire or the J600 connector can be used for ignition sense. If the HLN6863 is attached at J100 of the O2, O5, O7 or O9 control head, the “thin red” wire will NOT function as an ignition sense wire, since the J100 connector has no ignition sense electrical connection.NOTE: It is incorrect for installation to attach ignition sense at more than one wire or connector. Refer to Table 2-1 or Table 2-2 for its correct wiring configurations.The O3 control head receives its power down the CAN cable, and detects the ignition state by the ignition sense pin at either J2 or J600. On mid power radios, the J2 and J600 connectors can also be used for ignition sense. On high power radios, only the J600 connector can be used for ignition sense.In Multi-Control Head installations, the yellow ignition wire must be connected to the head assigned ID # 1. See Section 2.2.2.5 “Setting the Initial Control Head ID” on page 2-29 for further information.In remote mount O2, O3, O5, O7 or O9, an Emergency jumper to ground is placed by default on the TIB (JU344) so that there is no need to attach a cable with an emergency accessory at either J2 or at J600. This jumper must be removed if an emergency accessory (footswitch or button to Ground) is installed at either J2 or J600 (or J626 on the accessory cable) locations. If the jumper JU344 is removed but no emergency accessory is installed, the radio will power-up incorrectly into emergency mode all the time. Refer to Figure 4-3 for details.The design of the control head is different compared to the transceiver, therefore it is also NOT necessary to attach HLN6863 at J100 to prevent accidental emergency operation. The control head uses an edge-detect, not a state-detect like on the transceiver, so mounting of HLN6863 is not mandatory.

For 65W or 75W operation, no further changes are required. Reassemble the connector. 4. For 130W operation, you must parallel two 11ȍ speakers, each rated at 65W minimum. Proper phasing of the two speakers is important--when connecting two speakers in parallel, wire similar speaker terminals together to ensure maximum loudness and prevent "deadspots." For example, if the terminals are marked "1" and "2", connect the terminals marked "1" together and connect those wires to one speaker lead. Connect the terminals marked "2" together and connect those wires to the other speaker lead.5. When the Siren/PA is configured for dual speaker, 130W operation, it is necessary to remove a resistor and move two jumpers to set the correct power level. Remove the Siren/PA cover, and locate resistor R219 (0 ohm). This resistor should be removed for 130W operation. Locate jumpers JU100 and JU101. These jumpers should be installed for 130W operation.6. Close and reconnect the Siren/PA connector cover.NOTE:Jumpers JU100 and JU101 do not affect the Siren output level. JU100 and JU101 compensate for the lower speaker load and the two speakers in parallel, by decreasing the gain U102-1. JU100 affects the radio PA level and JU101 affects the PA audio level.Pin locations of various power level configurations are listed in Table 2-5Before continuing, remember that under a high-line supply condition (16.6V), up to 30% more power will go to the speaker(s) after reconfiguring for 130W operation. Do this only when your PA speakers are capable of handling the extra power.Table 2-5.

It is suggested that the cabling is to be attached to the front of the radio after the radio is assembled into the trunnion.1. After selecting the mounting location, use the trunnion mounting bracket as a template and mark the positions of the holes on the mounting surface.2. Center-punch the spots you have marked and realign the trunnion in position.3. Secure the trunnion mounting bracket with the four self-drilling screws provided (see Figure 2-27).4. After the trunnion has been mounted in the vehicle using the screws provided, install the radio. Place the radio with the lock handle fully opened on the trunnion, oriented at least10 mm in front of the rear catches. Push the radio towards the rear catches. The radio is lifted up slightly and then drops back down, flushed with the trunnion, and stops against the rear catches. Once this occurs, close the lock handle. Rotate the handle towards the top of the radio until it is locked in place. The key is not needed in the lock to close the handle, but is needed to reopen. The keys can only be removed from the lock when it is in the locked position.Figure 2-27.  100W Radio Mounting into Quick Release Trunnion2.2.2.2  Remote Mount Control Head InstallationChoose a mounting location for the radio, considering accessibility, and control and antenna cable lengths.The recommended mounting surfaces for the control unit are under the mounting surface, on the transmission hump, or on the center console.

NOTE: For mobile radios with rated power of 7 watts or less, the only installation restrictions are to use only Motorola approved antennas and install the antenna externally on metal body vehicles. For mobile radios with tuned power greater than 7 watts, always adhere to all the guidelines and restrictions in Section 2.4.1 below. 2.4.1 Selecting an Antenna Site/Location on a Metal Body Vehicle1. External installation – Check the requirements of the antenna supplier and install the vehicle antenna external to a metal body vehicle in accordance with those requirements.2. Roof top – For optimum performance and compliance with RF Energy Safety standards, mount the antenna in the center area of the roof. 3. Trunk lid – On some vehicles with clearly defined, flat trunk lids, the antennas of some radio models (see restrictions below) can also be mounted on the center area of the trunk lid. For vehicles without clearly defined, flat trunk lids (such as hatchback autos, sports utility vehicles, and pick-up trucks), mount the antenna in the center area of the roof. Before installing an antenna on the trunk lid, - Be sure that the distance from the antenna location on the trunk lid will be at least 85 cm (33 inches) from the front surface of the rear seat-back to assure compliance with RF Energy Safety standards.- Ensure that the trunk lid is grounded by connecting grounding straps between the trunk lid and the vehicle chassis.4. Mounting restrictions for certain radio models.For all VHF and UHF models, the 1/4 wave antenna should be mounted only in the center area of the roof, not on the trunk lid, to assure compliance with RF Energy Safety standards.5. Ensure that the antenna cable can be easily routed to the radio. Route the antenna cable as far away as possible from any vehicle electronic control units and associated wiring.6. Check the antenna location for any electrical interference.If these conditions cannot be satisfied, then mount the antenna on the roof top.!C a u t i o n

6878215A012-40 Standard Configurations Antenna Installation2.4.2 Mini-UHF ConnectionTo help aid in the installation of the radio antenna(s), there are labels indicating the frequency. The first is on the FCC label at the top of the radio which calls out the frequency and by using arrow points, which side the RF connector of the frequency is located at the back of the radio. The second is located at the back of the radio, next to the RF connector(s) (see Figure 2-50). To ensure a secure connection of an antenna cable's mini-UHF plug to a radio's mini-UHF jack, their interlocking features must be properly engaged. If they are not properly engaged, the system will loosen. Using a tool (pliers or wrench) will not overcome a poor engagement, and is not recommended. NOTE: Applying excessive force with a tool can cause damage to the antenna or the connector (e.g., stripping threads, deforming the collar or connector, or causing the connector to twist in the housing opening and break).The mini-UHF connector tool (Motorola part number HLN6695_) is designed to securely tighten the antenna plug–radio jack connection without damaging either the plug or the jack.Motorola recommends the following sequence to ensure proper attachment of the system (see Figure 2-50 and Figure 2-51):Figure 2-50.  Mini-UHF Connection (As Shown on Mid Power)Figure 2-51.  Mini-UHF Connection (100W Radios Only)1. Make sure that there is sufficient slack in the antenna cable.2.

Ensure that the plug’s and jack’s interlocking features are fully seated. Check this by grasping the crimp on the cable jack, rotating the cable, and noting any movement. If the features are seated correctly, there should be NO movement.6. Finger-tighten the antenna cable plug’s collar onto the radio’s jack.7. Give a final tug, by hand, to the collar, and retighten by hand as firmly as possible.8. Slip the mini-UHF connector tool over the coaxial cable, using the gap between the tool’s legs (see Figure 2-52). Then, slide the tool up onto the plug’s knurled collar. Squeeze the two straight legs of the tool firmly together between your thumb and index finger and turn clockwise (as shown) to tighten the collar. It should take 1/4 turn or less. When you feel the tool slipping on the collar, the connection has been properly tightened. The tool can also be used to loosen a tight collar.NOTE: DO NOT use pliers or any other device to grip the tightening tool. It has been designed to allow you to achieve the proper torque on the collar without overtightening. Overtightening the collar can damage the connector and the radio.Figure 2-52.
