TMAA11-06 Extended Single Head Upgrade Kit
Installation Instructions
Introduction
The TMAA11-06 upgrade kit can be used when extended distances are required between a
TM8250, TM8255 or TM9155 radio body and graphical-display control head. This enables the
control head to be installed away from the radio body in difficult or isolated locations, up to a
maximum 1km. The upgrade kit includes a transmit/receive pair of extender boxes to provide
the necessary processing and protection of signals over longer distances, and a control-head
interface box to locally re-power the control head.
The upgrade kit provides the following items:
In addition to the items in this kit, you also require two matching lengths of crossover
network cable up to 1km each. The cable may be a combination of structured cabling, patch
cables and adaptors. The crossover configuration must be a two-pair crossover, wired 1-3,
2-6, 3-1, 4-4, 5-5, 6-2, 7-7, 8-8 (as per TIA/EIA T568A and T568B).
If using off-the-shelf crossover cables or adapters, be aware that some are four-pair cross-
over and are therefore unsuitable. If using existing building network wiring, ensure there
is no other hardware in the circuit such as routers or switches.
You also need suitable equipment to connect the control-head interface box to a power supply
(such as a power cable assembly (IPN: 219-02883-00), or a power adaptor rated to provide
10.8–16V DC at > 2A (IPN: 009-0001x-00, where x is 4 to 7 depending on region)).
Refer to the radio installation guide for further information such as mounting the radio body
using the U-bracket, installing the antenna, and radio body power connections.

Installation Precautions
Warning Mount these products securely. Unsecured radio equipment is dangerous to
radio users, and others.
Warning When drilling holes in a vehicle, check that drilling at the selected points will
not damage existing wiring, petrol tanks, fuel lines, brake pipes or battery cables.
Notice This equipment contains devices that are susceptible to static charges. The proce-
dures outlined in this installation guide should therefore be carried out in a static-safe envi-
ronment. You can obtain information on antistatic precautions and the dangers of electrostatic
discharge (ESD) from standards such as
ANSI/ESD S4.1 or BS EN 61340-5 . The Electro-
static Discharge Association website is http://www.esda.org/.
Installation
The following diagram summarizes how the components are installed. Items named or shown
in
bold are part of the upgrade kit. A symbol means an RS485 terminating resistor is
fitted. Cable lengths indicate maximum cable lengths allowed and therefore the maximum
distance between components.
a For a radio with a TMAC40 or TMAC43 control head (non heated display), you can substitute the 6m cable
with a 12m cable (not supplied, order number TMAA04-12).
One or more of the following steps may not be necessary depending on the type and degree of
the existing installation.
1 Uninstall the existing radio.
a Remove the radio from its mounting position.
b Disconnect the cables from the rear of the radio, such as the power and antenna cables.
c If upgrading a radio with a control head mounted remotely:
■ disconnect the remote cable and discard if the cable is to be replaced.
■ If the control-head interface is to be replaced, remove and discard.

If upgrading a TM8200 remote installation that uses components from kit TMAA03-16, the
existing head and body remote interfaces do not support extended distances and must not be
re-used for the upgrade. For best performance the remote cable should also be replaced,
although this may be impractical for some installations. If upgrading a TM9155 remote
installation (or a TM8200 remote installation that uses components from kits TMAA03-05
or TMAA03-19), existing components may be re-used for the upgrade.
■ if the body remote interface is to be replaced, remove and discard.
d If upgrading a radio with a control head mounted locally, remove the control head from
the radio body and unplug the loom.
2 Assemble the remote interfaces.
a Assemble the body remote interface (TMAC34)
to the radio body. Ensure the earthing tag is
attached as shown.
b Assemble the control-head remote interface
(TMAA03-03) to the control head.
For more information, refer to the remote control head kit
installation instructions
a
.
3 Configure the extender box and control-head interface box links.
a Remove the seals from the top of the extender and control-head interface boxes.
b Compare the link configurations with the label diagrams. Re-configure if necessary
using small long-nose pliers (or similar).
■ One extender box must be configured as RADIO .
■ One extender box must be configured as CONTROL HEAD .
■ The control-head interface box must be configured as LOCAL POWERED .
c Mark the applicable diagrams on the extender box labels (for identification purposes
during the installation), and replace the seals.
4 Install the components and prepare the network cables.
a Mount or re-mount the radio body using the preferred method, such as U-bracket, slide-
in cradle, or security bracket. Refer to the relevant sections in the installation guide, or
the installation instructions included with the mounting kit.
b Prepare the crossover network cables. Before crimping the RJ45 connectors, slide on the
grommets provided for strain relief (recommended). Make sure the cabling has a direct
path and is not interrupted by network devices such as switches or routers.
Refer to the radio service manual for connector pins and signals, and schematics.
c Lay out all cables as per the diagram on
page 2 . Determine the best mounting position
for all components, at distances less than the length of each cable used.
Notice The extender boxes and control-head interface box do not provide IP54 protection.
Choose a mounting position away from water, dust, and other environmental hazards.
d Use the washers and screws provided to mount the radio-end extender box, the head-end
extender box, and the control-head interface box.

e Use the remote U-bracket and screws provided to mount the control head. Refer to the
remote control head kit installation instructions
a
.
5 Install the cables.
a Remove the innermost connector seal from the body remote interface.
b Drill any holes required for the cables and install suitable grommets or bushings in the
holes.
c Use a neck cable to connect the
SYSTEM socket of the radio-end extender box to the
innermost RJ45 socket of the body remote interface.
d Use crossover network cable to connect the
AUDIO socket of the radio-end extender box
to the
AUDIO socket of the head-end extender box.
e Use crossover network cable to connect the
DATA socket of the radio-end extender box
to the
DATA socket of the head-end extender box.
f Use a neck cable to connect the
SYSTEM socket of the head-end extender box to the
SYSTEM socket of the control-head interface box.
g Use the remote cable to connect the
HEAD 1 socket of the control-head interface box to
the rear RJ45 socket of the control head.
h Install all cable grommets. Ensure each grommet is seated correctly.
6 Connect power to the control-head interface box.
The control head, when installed over extended distances, must be powered locally using the
control-head interface box. Select from
one of the following power options:
Notice First, make sure the chosen power option is disconnected at the source.
■ Use a power cable assembly (IPN: 219-02883-00) to
connect the power connector (see right) to a power
source such as a vehicle battery (refer to the radio
installation guide), or a TMAA12 or TMAA13 power
supply.
■ Use a power adaptor rated to provide 10.8–16V DC at
>2A (IPN: 009-0001x-00, where x is 4 to 7 depending
on region) to connect the 2.5mm DC jack to a power
source.
Power can be permanently applied to the interface box without affecting current drain. The
control head will only power on when power is applied to the radio system via the radio body.
7 Check the installation.
Apply power to the control-head interface box, then the radio body. If the radio does not power
on, press the On/Off key on the control head. Check that the control head sounds the power-up
tone and the display is operating as expected.
