Overview
4 Power Amplifier 3160 Installation Handbook
General
The 3160 Power Amplifier is designed to provide 125 W
transmitting power for a 2110M or 2110 Manpack
Transceiver. The 3160 provides 12 V DC to the transceiver
from a suitable power source. When the 3160 is connected
into the transceiver system, it is automatically detected when
the transceiver is switched on.

NOTE A 100 W option is available.
NOTE
For information on hardware and software
compatibility requirements see page 14,

Overview
Power Amplifier 3160 Installation Handbook 5
A typical 3160 Power Amplifier installation comprises:
• a 2110M Manpack Transceiver (build standard A or
later), or a 2110 Manpack Transceiver (build standard H
or later) with firmware V4.91 or later
• a 3160 Power Amplifier
• a 2110 series Manpack Transceiver cradle with interface
adaptor and external speaker
• a 2110 amplifier adaptor panel
• a power adaptor cable
• a coaxial cable
• a 12 V DC power source with appropriate cables
• an antenna system with appropriate cables and power
rating
• a grounding system
Optional equipment for the system includes:
• a power amplifier mounting bracket
• a power supply cover
•afan
• an external antenna tuner

Power supply options
The 3160 Power Amplifier requires a 12 V DC supply. This
may be supplied by one of the following sources:
• 3020 Transceiver Supply (fixed station only; this
requires connection to the AC mains supply)
• 12 V DC vehicle battery (see Figure 3 on page 7)
• 24 V DC vehicle battery via a 24 V to 12 V voltage
regulator (see Figure 4 on page 7)

NOTE
You can mount the 3020 Transceiver Supply or
the voltage regulator within a power supply
cover (Codan part number 15-00147).

8 Power Amplifier 3160 Installation Handbook
Typical layouts
The 2110M or 2110 Manpack Transceiver and a 3160 Power
Amplifier may be installed in a mobile station or a fixed
station.
The equipment may be arranged in one of two layouts:
• basic layout, in which items are located separately and
bolted down, if required (see Figure 5 on page 10)
• stacked layout, in which all items are bolted together in a
stack using a mounting bracket, and optional power
supply cover (see Figure 6 on page 12)
A 2110 amplifier adaptor panel (supplied with the 3160) is
attached to the rear of the 2110 cradle. When the manpack
transceiver is inserted into the cradle, it connects with the
2110 amplifier adaptor panel. A special power adaptor cable
connects the 2110 amplifier adaptor panel to the 3160 and an
appropriate 12 V DC power source. A coaxial cable connects
the antenna output from the connector on the front panel of
the transceiver to the RF INPUT connector on the 3160. The
RF output from the 3160 is sent to an antenna system via a
coaxial cable connected to the connector.
WARNING
In a mobile station, all items must be bolted
securely to rigid structures within the vehicle.
For more information on these requirements see
page 15, Installing the 3160.
NOTE For information on suitable power sources see
page 6, Power supply options.
