Mobile radios should be installed in accordance with the MPT 1362 Code
of Practice.
1.4 Safe Radio Mounting
Warning Mount the radio securely so that it will not break loose
in the event of a collision. An unsecured radio is dangerous to the
vehicle occupants.
■Mount the radio and the microphone where they will not
interfere with the deployment of passenger airbags, the
vehicle operator controls, the vehicle operator’s view.
■Do not mount the radio vertically, with the control head
facing down. This will violate compliance with the standards
UL/CSA/EN 60950, Safety of Information Technology
Equipment.
Caution The bottom surface of the radio and the heatsink fins can
become hot during prolonged operation. When installing the radio,
position the radio so that it is not possible for the radio user to touch the
bottom surface of the radio and the heatsink fins.
1.5 Interference with Vehicular Electronics

10 Safety and Regulatory Warnings TM9300/TM9400 Installation Guide
© Tait Limited December 2015
1.9 Non-standard Radio Installations
The installation U-cradle described in this guide has been designed so that
there is enough airflow around the radio to provide cooling.
If a non-standard installation method is used, care must be taken that
sufficient heat can be dissipated from the heatsink fins and the ridged
bottom surface of the radio.
For this to be achieved, there must be a gap of more than 3/8 inch (10 mm)
between the bottom surface of the radio chassis and the mounting surface.
This is illustrated in the following diagram:

2.5 Desktop Installation
The TMAA13 power supply enables you to use a mobile radio as a desktop
radio. The TMAA13 operates on an input voltage of 100–130VAC or
200–250VAC, depending on the model, and can be used with both 30-
50W and 25W radios. The mobile radio can be installed at a distance from
the power supply, or it can be mounted on top of the power supply using a
plinth. The following diagram shows the components included in each kit.
Refer to the TMAA13 Power Supplies User’s Guide (MMZ-00002-xx) for
full details.
Tait strongly recommends to use one TMAA13 power supply for each
radio. This prevents any issues caused by simultaneous transmissions.

3 Power Sense and Connector Power
Supply Options
The mobile radio allows the configuration of different power-sense options
to control how the radio is powered up and down, and connector power
supply options to control how power is switched to the connectors of the
mobile radio.
Before starting the installation it is important to understand these options
in order to make the right decision on how to best connect your mobile
radio.
3.1 Power Sense Options
The radio allows the configuration of different power-sense options to
control how the mobile radio is powered up and down:
■battery power sense
■auxiliary power sense (ignition sense)
■internal-options power sense
■no power sense
■emergency power sense.
The emergency power-sense option can be used in conjunction with any of
the other four options.
The different power-sense options have to be facilitated by hardware
means, as the software cannot act before it is powered up. The radio
provides four hardware links (marked LK1M to LK4M) on the top-side of
the main board which can be configured to attain the power-sense option
desired.
Notice The hardware links are SMT components. Do not replace
SMT components unless you are trained and equipped to do so.
Attempting to replace SMT components without the necessary training,
tools, and equipment can cause permanent damage to the radio.
Figure 3.1 shows a block diagram of the hardware links LK1M to LK4M.

The factory defaults are:
■hardware link LK1M (+13.8V battery power sense): fitted
■hardware link LK2M (ignition sense): fitted
■hardware link LK3M (emergency sense): fitted
The radio can be programmed to be either on, or to return to its previous
state when the power sense signal is removed. For information on
programming the power-on mode refer to the online help of the
programming software.
The ON/OFF key can be used with any of the of the power-sense options
to turn the radio on and off.
Table 3.1 shows the configuration of the hardware links LK1M, LK2M and
LK4M for the individual power-sense options. It also lists the dependence
of the power-sense options with respect to the GPI lines, which can or
cannot be used.
