The MWx-31 Series is a motorcycle-handlebar-mounted
transmitter for remote PTT control of a portable radio
connected to a Setcom SWE-xx or SWA-xx Liberator
SuperMic.
(several models of SuperMic exist, the actual model
number depends on the portable radio model to be used)
The transmitter requires 12 VDC, supplied through a
fused connection, a 1 Amp fuse is recommended. Red
wire to +12V, Green wire to Ground.
Minimal power is drawn from the motorcycle but it is
recommended that it be supplied from a switched source,
such as the Accessory Lead.
The MWx-31 must be code-matched to the Supermic it is
to be used with. Details for this can be found on page 2 of
these instructions.
Various combinations of TX Unit and PTT switch
mounting brackets are available – the specific model
number indicates the typical motorcycle type the model
will be used on.
A complete system will include an MWx-31 Handlebar TX
Unit and brackets, an SW_-xx SuperMic, and a KE or KA
type of Helmet Kit (model number varies according to the
type of helmet).
Page 3 shows instructions on how to install the PTT
push-button assembly to a bracket.

A penny or nickel can be
used to remove and replace
the nylon screw for access
to the encoder setting of the
handlebar unit.
The handlebar unit is shipped with a flathead
screwdriver. This tool is for syncing the
handlebar unit to the SuperMic at installation and
then given to the end user to allow matching of
equipment over the life of the system.
The waterproof plug and nylon screw must
each be installed in the SuperMic and
handlebar transmitter respectively while in
service. Not installing these items allows for
water incursion and may void the warranty.
Portable-Only Wireless code-matching
Note the difference between
the two encoder dials.
The arrow indicators are
different as well as the
location of the codes.
SuperMic and Handlebar unit must also be on the same Code Block to match properly. Units are factory-set for Code Block
zero unless otherwise specified. A Code Block other than zero is indicated by an addition to the model number of the unit
(for example, MWH-31-C08 would indicate Code Block eight). Contact Setcom for more information. www.setcomcorp.com

p/n 16-0001
Gasket
PTT
Subassembly
PTT
Bracket
Caution: Take care not to
scratch bracket when
securing hex nut.
The use of a non-marring
socket is recommended
Wiring:
The PTT pushbutton is usually hard-wired to the enclosure and only needs
to be mounted onto the included bracket (see diagram at left).
For the MWB15-31, installation only requires plugging a connector into the
motorcycle’s BCM unit.
DC Power wiring involves connecting the Green wire to a good ground point,
and the Red wire to a fused +12 VDC source (a 1A fuse is recommended).
The transmitter draws minimal power but it is recommended it be connected
to a switched DC source – Accessory power is typically used.
Checkout:
It is recommended to verify system operation before fastening down any
cabling or replacing any body panels that have been removed for access.
This requires a portable radio fitted with an SWE-xx or SWA-xx Supermic
and the cooperation of another radio operator for a radio transmission check.
Before completing the installation, it is important to make sure that any
cabling does not impair free movement of the handlebars, and that the
cabling will not be stretched, chafed, or broken by movement of the
handlebars or any other part of the motorcycle.
