Chapter 2 Standard Configurations2.1 Planning the InstallationThe XPR 4300/4350/4500/4550 radio operates only in negative ground electrical systems. 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.2.1.1 Installation ExamplesYour mobile two-way radio offers various methods of installation, including dash or remote mount. Except for 110W radios, all versions of the XPR 4300/4350/4500/4550 can be either dash or remote mounted (see Figure 2-1 through Figure 2-2). CAUTION Before installing any electrical equipment, check the vehicle manufacturer’s user manual.  The installation of this device should be completed by an authorized servicer or installer.Figure 2-1.  Mounting Flexibility in Middle Console  Figure 2-2.

Cabling Interconnect Diagram for Dash Mount
March 23, 2006 6816812H012-8 Standard Configurations: Ignition Sense Cable2.4 Ignition Sense CableMotorola supplies an ignition sense cable and recommends that it be used with every mobile installation. The ignition sense cable allows the radio to be turned on and off with the vehicle ignition switch, and allows the radio to “remember” the state of the radio on/off switch, even if it is changed while the vehicle is off. • For radio ON/OFF control independent of the ignition switch, connect the red ignition cable (yel-low for remote) (pin 25 of accessory connector) to “battery hot” at the vehicle fuse block (dash mount only).• For radio ON/OFF control via the ignition switch, connect the red ignition cable (yellow for remote) to “ignition” at the fuse block.Note that for remote mount installations, the red and yellow leads are connected, not the red lead from the rear of the radio.The ignition sense cable uses either a 3-amp (P/N 6580283E01) or 4-amp (P/N 6580283E02) fuse.For other considerations when connecting the ignition cable, see the Basic Service Manual (Motorola publication part number 6881096C73).2.5 Antenna InstallationIMPORTANT NOTE: To assure optimum performance and compliance with RF Energy Safety standards, these antenna installation guidelines and instructions are limited to metal-body vehicles with appropriate ground planes and take into account the potential exposure of back seat passengers and bystanders outside the vehicle. 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 rated power greater than 7 Watts, always adhere to all the guidelines and restrictions in section 2.5.1 below. 2.5.1 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, sport uitility 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.IF THESE CONDITIONS CANNOT BE SATISFIED, THEN MOUNT THE ANTENNA ON THE ROOF TOP!
6816812H01 March 23, 2006Standard Configurations: Antenna Installation 2-94. Mounting restrictions for certain radio models  For 40 Watt 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.7. Ensure that any other mobile radio antenna on this vehicle is at least one foot (30.48 cm) away from this antenna.NOTE: Any two metal pieces rubbing against each other (such as seat springs, shift levers, trunk and hood lids, exhaust pipes, etc.) in close proximity to the antenna can cause severe receiver interference.2.5.2 Mini-UHF ConnectionTo 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 2-30):Figure 2-30.  Mini-UHF Connection (as shown on mid-power)1. Make sure that there is sufficient slack in the antenna cable.2. Make sure that the collar of the antenna cable plug is loose and does not bind.3. Make sure that the mini-UHF jack is tight in the radio housing.4. Slide the collar back against the flange. Insert the antenna cable plug’s pin fully into the radio jack, but do not engage the threads.5. 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.Coax ConductorPlug (Pin)FlangeCableCollar PulledBack to FlangeMini UHFJack
March 23, 2006 6816812H012-10 Standard Configurations: Speaker7. 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 2-31). 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 2-31.  Mini-UHF Connector Tool (as shown on mid-power)2.6 Speaker The speaker kit includes a trunnion bracket that allows the speaker to be mounted in a variety of ways. With the trunnion bracket, the speaker can mount permanently on the dashboard or in accessible firewall areas. The trunnion allows the speaker to tilt for best operation. Mount the speaker out of the way so that it will not be kicked or knocked around by the vehicle occupants. Mount the speaker as follows:1. Use the speaker mounting bracket as a template to mark the mounting hole locations.2. Use the self-drilling screws provided to fasten the trunnion.3. Attach the speaker and fasten to the trunnion with two wing screws.4. Route the speaker wires under the carpet or floor covering, or behind the kick panels. Be sure the wires are out of the way and will not be snagged and broken by the occupants of the vehicle.CAUTION: DO NOT ground the radio's speaker leads. This system has a floating speaker output (dc voltage on both leads); damage to the audio circuit will result if either lead is grounded or if they are shorted together.(1)  SqueezeFirmly TogetherHLN6695_(2)Tighten!C a u t i o n

March 23, 2006 6816812H013-4 Options and Accessories Installation: Dash-Mount Accessory Installation1This pin must be connected to ground by jumper on accessory cable if emergency is disabled, even if disabled by CPS. If enabled, this line must be grounded via a switch, which is normally closed. The emergency debounce time is programmable via CPS.2Pulling this line to ground will activate PTT function, activating the AUX_MIC input.3Fixed level (independent of volume level) received audio signal, including alert tones. Flat or de-emphasis are pro-grammed by CPS. Output voltage is approximately 100 mVrms per 1kHz of deviation. The DC offset is 1.4V.4This output is used to detect when a rear microphone accessory is taken off-hook, to override PL to alert the user to busy traffic prior to transmitting.5This microphone signal is independent of the microphone signal on the front microphone connector. The nominal input level is 80mVrms for 60% deviation when used for motorcycle, but can also support 300 mVrms for future APCO accessories. The DC impedance is 660 ohms and the AC impedance is 560 ohms.6See Table 2-1 in Chapter 2 for wiring options.Note: Please see the XPR 4300/4350/4500/4550 Basic Service manual (Motorola publication part number 6816816H01) for more detailed descriptions of these pins.
