10.4 CONTROL HEAD MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Refer to Section 10.5 for CAN link installation information.
Prior to installing the control head, verify it has the proper software version installed and
verify it has been properly configured for customer use. Consult the radio system
administration personnel as necessary.
Figure 10-7: Standard U-Shaped Control Head Mounting Bracket for CH-721 Control Head
Use the following procedure to install the standard U-shaped mounting bracket.
1. Obtain the mounting bracket from the respective installation kit.
For the CH-100 control head, this is part no. 12099-1500-01 shown in Table 5-3.
For the CH-721 control head, this is part no. KT-008608 shown in Table 5-4.
2. Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark and drill mounting holes into the mounting surface as
required.
The round and elliptical holes in the bracket’s vehicle mounting surface are symmetrical, so
forwards/backwards positioning is not important during this step. However, positioning is important
in the next step.
Before drilling holes and/or installing mounting screws, verify these operations will not
damage or interfere with any existing vehicle component (fuel tank, fuel line, transmission
housing, existing vehicle wiring, etc.). Always check to see how far the mounting screws
will extend below the mounting surface prior to installation. Always deburr drilled holes
before installing screws.
3. Postion the bracket at the mounting surface so the two round holes in its two side “ears” are nearest to
the normal location of the operator (typically towards the rear of the vehicle) and the two slotted holes
are furthest from the normal location of the operator (typically towards the front of the vehicle).
