2 Description of the Radio Interfaces
This chapter describes the characteristics of the echanical and electrical
interfaces of the radio body and the TM8115 control head or the TM8105
blank control head, which are suitable for the connection of TM8000 or
application accessories and equip ent.
Figure 2.1 provides an overview of the TM8000 interfaces:
Figure 2.2 shows the connectors of the radio body.
Figure 2.3 shows the connectors of the TM8115 control head.
Figure 2.4 shows the connectors of the TM8105 blank control head.
For ore block and circuit diagra s refer to the PCB Infor ation chapter
of the TM8100 Mobile Radio Service Manual.

2.1 RF Connector
The RF connector is the pri ary RF interface to the antenna. The RF
connector is a standard BNC socket with an i pedance of 50Ω.
Important The axi u RF input level is +27dB . Higher levels
ay da age the radio.
2.2 Power Connector
The power connector is the interface for the pri ary 13.8V power source
and the external speaker. The pri ary power source can be the vehicle
battery or a ains-fed DC power supply. The power connector provides
connection for an external speaker.
Warning!! anger of Fire! The protection mechanisms in
Table 2.3 rely on the correct fuses in both the
negative and positive power supply leads being
present. Failure to fit the correct fuses may
result in fire or damage to the radio.

Important The speaker load configuration is balanced; no speaker out-
put line ust be connected to ground. Connecting a
speaker output line to ground will cause audio power

a. While the transceiver will operate over this range RF performance to specification applies over 10.8 to 16.0V.
b. Outside the radio operating range the radio will shutdown. Auto recovery will occur if the supply voltage returns
to within the auto recovery limits specified. Depending on the power sense option selected, auto recovery may not
occur if supply voltage drops below 4V prior to returning to within the auto recovery limits.
c. Application of steady state voltage higher than 30V will cause the crowbar diode (D600) to fail short circuit and
in-line fuse to blow. The radio will survive transients above 30V within the 95/54/EC standard.

2.3 Auxiliary Connector
The auxiliary connector is the standard interface for external devices that are
typically connected to a radio. The auxiliary connector is a 15-way standard-
density D-range socket. The auxiliary connector provides a serial port, three
progra able input lines, four progra able digital I/O lines and audio
I/O.
Note The space for a ating plug is li ited to 41 in width and
18 in height. Although ost plugs will fit this space, it is rec-
o ended to test the plug to be used before anufacturing a
cable. The internal options kit (described on page 89) includes a
suitable plug (Tait IPN 240-00020-55).
If the auxiliary cable is longer than 1 etre it is reco ended to shield the
cable and connector backshell. Figure 2.5 shows the reco ended
shielding arrange ent. The earth braid wire (bare copper) and alu iniu
foil should only be earthed at the radio end of the cable.
The I/O lines can be progra ed for a variety of functions, logic levels and
in so e cases direction (refer to
“Progra able I/O Lines” on page 39 ).
Audio lines can also be progra ed to tap into or out of different points in
the audio processing chain (refer to
“Audio Tap In and Tap Out Lines” on
page 80
).
