    Disruption of the anti-skid/anti-lock braking system by the radio transmitter may result in unexpected vehicle motion. Motorola recommends the following radio installation precautions and vehicle braking WARNING system test procedures to ensure that the radio, when transmitting, does not interfere with the operation of the vehicle braking system.
  • Page 7 Information for Vehicles with Electronic Anti-Lock/Anti-Skid Brakes Repeat Step 7, except do so while speaking into the microphone. Release the brake pedal completely and accelerate the vehicle to a speed of 20 miles (30 kilometers) per hour. Ensure that a minimum of two vehicle lengths is maintained between the front of the vehicle and any object in the vehicle’s forward path.

    Chapter 2 DC Power Cable Installation Planning the Power Cable Installation CAUTION: This radio must be operated only in negative ground electrical systems. Operating the radio on a positive ground system will cause the cable fuse to short-circuit. Check the vehicle ground polarity before you begin the installation. The 10 foot (3 m) DC power cable shipped with the radio should be long enough to be installed in most vehicles.

    Chapter 3 Trunnion Installation Planning the Mounting Trunnion Installation Planning is the key to fast, easy radio installation. Before a hole is drilled or a wire is run, inspect the vehicle and determine how and where you intend to mount the antenna, radio, and accessories. If you are using any of the optional accessories, obtain them and plan for their installation using the detailed instructions included with each accessory.

    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 4.2 below.

    Chapter 5 Installation Options Mobile Dashboard Mounting 5.1.1 Installing the Mounting Frame into the Dashboard 1. Open the radio cut-out in the dashboard to ISO 7736 specification (182mm x 53mm). 2. Insert the mounting frame into the dashboard cut-out and retain it by bending back the tabs (using all 6 where possible).

    Installation Options 5.1.3 Removing the Radio from the Mounting Frame 1. Push the two demounting tools through the openings in the mounting frame until the two springs release the radio. 2. Slide out the radio. NOTE 1. The fixing tabs should be checked for tightness each time the radio is removed. The tabs are easily tightened by twisting a large flat-bladed screwdriver in the slot behind the tabs.

  • Page 24: Noise Sources

    Chapter 7 Noise Sources Introduction Electrical noise generated by the electrical system of a vehicle, as well as local ambient noise, can interfere with normal operation of mobile radios. Satisfactory operation of a mobile radio may require slight or heavy noise reduction, depending upon the relative strength of the radio signal, and upon the ability of the radio to reject undesired noise.
  • Page 25: Conducted Noise

    Noise Sources It is impractical to prevent all arcing in the standard vehicle electrical system. In an 8-cylinder engine running at 2,000 RPM, arcing occurs across the spark plugs at a rate of 8,000 sparks per minute or 133 sparks per second. Electrical motors and generators also produce arcs. Inadequate Terminal Windshield Wiper Motor or Fuse Block Filtering...
  • Page 26: Operation Of A Conventional Ignition System

    Chapter 8 Operation of a Conventional Ignition System Introduction To effectively reduce ignition interference in a vehicle, it is necessary to understand the operation of an automobile ignition system. Ignition is necessary in a gasoline engine to ignite the gasoline vapor and the air mixture in its cylinders.
  • Page 27 Operation of a Conventional Ignition System The battery is connected to the primary winding of the coil through the ignition switch. The primary circuit is returned to the battery through the breaker points, which are bypassed by the condenser. The points are normally closed. As the cam shaft is rotated by the engine, it’s lobes or corners open and close the points in proper synchronization with the piston in each cylinder.
  • Page 28: Detection Of Noise Sources

    Chapter 9 Detection of Noise Sources Noise Detection Procedure Detection of offending noise sources is the heart of noise suppression because, after the noise source is identified, the solution becomes obvious. A logical step-by-step procedure is basic to effective noise suppression. Use your available equipment to best advantage.
  • Page 29: Sources Of Noise

    Detection of Noise Sources Sources of Noise Some interference is due to geographic location. This interference does not need to be eliminated since it is possible for the vehicle to be moved away from the interfering noise source. Noise from power lines, fluorescent lights, and other vehicles (emitting high levels of radiated noise) are examples of noise which depend upon location.
  • Page 30: Noise Reduction Techniques

    10.2.2 Available Noise Reduction Kits Motorola offers one noise reduction kit: Model TLN5277 for alternator-equipped vehicles. This kit is for suppression of noise in the primary and secondary of the ignition coil and for bleeding of static charges on the hood.
  • Page 31: 10.2.3 Ignition Coil Interference

    This type of interference is characterized by a popping sound which is most noticeable when the engine is running slowly. To suppress the noise, connect a 0.1 µF coaxial capacitor (Motorola Part No. 0882571B02) from the battery side of the ignition coil to vehicle ground (see Figure Figure 10-1). This keeps the distributor noise from being conducted through the battery lead into the electrical system of the vehicle.
  • Page 32: Alternator

    This type of interference is characterized by a high-pitched whine which varies with engine speed. A 0.5 µF coaxial capacitor (Motorola Part No. 0882571B01) can be used to bypass the whine. For generators, the capacitors is connected in the armature lead. Never use a capacitor in the field lead.
  • Page 33: Voltage Regulator Noise

    The noise is generated by arcing in the vibrating breaker contacts of the voltage regulator. It can be suppressed by connecting a 0.5 µF coaxial capacitor (Motorola Part No. 0882571B01) in the battery and armature leads of the voltage regulator (see Figure 10-4).

Accessory wiring (electrical fuel pump, electric windshield wipers, heater fan motor, window openers, etc.) 10.7 Ground Bonding If a vehicle is not properly bonded to ground, static charges can increase. This increase can cause noise from electrical arcing.
