System Overview
The Multiple-Radio Interface Module (M-RIM) is a weather-resistant radio interface designed for the
marine environment. It is a companion product to the David Clark Series 3800, 9500, 9800, and SOLO
product lines, intended to increase the number of radios connected to the host system. The M-RIM
allows up to four mobile radios to be connected to one radio port on the host system.
Primary components of the system are indicated in Table 1. In addition, a basic layout of the system is
shown in Figure 1.

Procedure
Location Considerations
Select a location on a flat surface that is out-of-the-way, and provides adequate room to attach all
cables. Be sure to allow for internal access, as adjustments may be necessary. The M-RIM is
weather resistant, however the mounting location should be chosen to minimize direct exposure
to the elements.
Mounting
qUsing a Philips screwdriver, remove the 4 screws on the cover of the M-RIM and lift off the
cover. Observe the 4 mounting holes in each corner, as shown in Figure 2.
qPosition the M-RIM Drilling Template and mark each hole with a pencil.
qConfirm the location and carefully drill each hole using the drill and 3/16” bit.
qPosition the M-RIM and insert a 3/16” machine screw into each mounting hole.
qOn the backside of the mounting wall, use the provided flat washer and lock nut to secure
the M-RIM (Figure 2).

2. Radio Cables
The C98-20RD Radio Cable is used to interface a marine or mobile radio to the M-RIM. One end of the
cable connects to the M-RIM and the other end connects to the radio. Since the interface is different for
each type of radio, the C98-20RD is left un-prepared at the radio end so that the installer may choose the
correct interface.
Note: This procedure applies only to the C98-20RD Radio Cable. Contact factory if assistance with other
cables is needed.
Parts/Tools Required
qC98-20RD Radio Cable (One for each radio to be interfaced)
qRadio adapters (for interfacing to radios—supplied by radio manufacturer)
qPin assignments for each radio adapter (supplied by radio manufacturer)
qWire Crimping/Cutting/Soldering/etc tools (depends on radio interface)
qWire ties
Figure 5: C98-20RD Radio Cable
Procedure
qDetermine the path of the cable between each radio and the M-RIM. The radios should already
be installed and tested. The cable should be routed using under-deck conduits and be as far as
possible from radio antenna coax cables and anywhere water may collect.
qMeasure the length of cable necessary. Add 3 feet for a service loop and trim.
qRoute the cable. The connector end connects to the M-RIM. Leave enough excess cable at the
radio end for preparation of radio interface.
qDetermine which radio letter this radio is (i.e., Radio A, B, C, or D) and connect Radio Cable to
the M-RIM. See Figures 1&4 for connector locations.
qTo connect the cable to the M-RIM, align keyways and push. Then push and turn collar
clockwise until it stops. Pull back gently on the cable to ensure connector is properly locked.
qPrepare the radio interface in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. See Table 2 for
C98-20RD Radio Cable wire color functions.
qRepeat this procedure for remaining radios.

3. System Interface Cable
The C98-20MR* Cables are used to interface the M-RIM to a radio port on David Clark Company Inc.
Series 3800, 9500, 9800, or SOLO systems. One end of the cable connects to the M-RIM and the other
end connects to the intercom system.
Parts/Tools Required
qSystem Interface Requirements:
Series 9800 and SOLO Interface:
oC98-20MR1 cable (P/N: 40892G-13, qty. 1 each)
Series 3800 Interface:

Procedure
qDetermine the path of the cable between the host system and the M-RIM. The host system
should already be installed and tested. The cable should be routed using under-deck conduits
and be as far as possible from radio antenna coax cables and anywhere water may collect.
qRoute the cable and connect to the M-RIM. See Figures 1&4 for connector location.
qTo connect the cable to the M-RIM, align keyways and push. Then push and turn collar
clockwise until it stops. Pull back gently on the cable to ensure connector is properly locked.
qConnect the other end of the interface cable to the host system. Refer to the host system
installation/operation manual for further instructions.

4. Power Cable
The C98-20PW is a 20-foot cable used to provide power to the M-RIM. It has a connector on one end
and is unterminated on the other end. It is important to choose a power “pick-off” point that can provide at
least two amperes of current at a voltage between 11-30VDC. Direct connection to a 2-Amp fuse/circuit-
breaker is preferred.
Parts/Tools Required
qC98-20PW Power Cable (40892G-02)
oIncludes David Clark 2-Amp Fuse kit (40688G-47)
qPower pick-off point (circuit breaker/Fuse box, 11-30VDC)
qSoldering iron/Solder
qWire terminals
qWire cutters/ Wire strippers
qTape Measure
qWire ties
Figure 6: C98-20PW Cable with 40688G-47 2-Amp Fuse kit
Procedure
qDetermine the location of a 2-Amp circuit breaker to be used and how to connect to it (solder,
screw terminals, lugs, etc).
qIf only a higher-amperage circuit breaker is available, it may be used, but the David Clark 2-Amp
Fuse Kit must also be used.
qDetermine the location of the 11-30VDC and Ground pick-off points.
qDetermine the path of the cable between the power source and the M-RIM. The cable should be
routed using under-deck conduits and be as far as possible from radio antenna coax cables and
anywhere water may collect.
qMeasure the length of cable necessary, adding 3 ft as a service loop.
qIf necessary, trim the length of the cable to the length you just determined in the previous step.
Be sure to trim the UN-PREPARED end of the cable.
qRoute the cable. Use wire ties where necessary.

19537P-26 (11-14)

qConnect the cable to the jack on the M-RIM labeled “Power”, see Figures 1&4. To connect the
cable to the M-RIM, align keyways and push. Then push and turn collar clockwise until it locks
into place. Pull back gently on the cable to ensure connector is properly locked.
Before continuing, ensure that power is shut off to the point where you are
going to connect the power cable!
qUsing the wire cutters and wire strippers, prepare the end of the cable as necessary for your
installation (Figure 7).
qIf using the David Clark 2-Amp Fuse Kit, please see Appendix A for assembly instructions.
qConnect the cable to the power source
oConnect the RED to the positive (+) terminal.
oConnect the BLACK and SHIELD to the negative (-) terminal.
qDo not turn on power at this time, wait until Section 6. Testing & Troubleshooting.

5. Operation
Use the M-RIM to control radio access to the host system.
1. The toggle switches control whether the RX audio from the radios can be heard. Each radio has
its own RX Audio On/Off switch.
2. The Radio Select switch determines which radio is active for transmitting. When the user presses
PTT (see instructions for host system), they will be transmitting over the radio that is selected.
