4. Install and tighten the mounting screws (not included).
Screws for mounting the bracket to the mounting vehicle’s surface are not included, as all
installations differ. Self-threading screws are recommended. Use of self-drilling screws may cause
damage to some mounting surfaces, such as a plastic dash panel.
5. Verify the bracket is held firmly to the mounting surface.
Firm mounting prevents unreasonable vibration, which could damage the control head and/or cause
its cable connections to loosen.
6. Slide the control head into the bracket, placing the two pegs protruding from its left and right sides
into the respective round holes in the bracket’s two side “ears.”
7. In each “ear” of the mounting bracket, start a socket-head cap (Allen) head screw with a flat washer
by inserting the screw through the slotted hole in the bracket and then into the threaded hole in the
side of the control head.
This hardware is included with the Mounting Bracket Kit. Turn each screw clockwise to tighten it.
Recommended torque is 8.7 inch-pounds (10 kg/cm).
As noted in Figure 10-7, do not use lock washers with the U-shaped bracket, even if they
are included in the kit. Each cap screw has a nylon thread-locking patch imbedded in its
threads, so no lock washer is required. Also, do not use any additional thread locking
compound with the cap screws.
8. Position the control head for the operator’s best viewing angle.
It may be necessary to turn it on the pegs to a good viewing position
9. Tighten both screws using a ⅛-inch hex key (Allen) wrench until the control head is held firmly in
place. Do not over-tighten.
Each cap screw should not be installed/re-used more than eight (8) times, because thread
locking strength may suffer after this number of re-installations. Replace the cap screws
with new cap screws if their locking strength is in question and/or after exceeding eight (8)
installations. Hardware Kit 14002-0172-01 is available for this purpose. It includes two
#8-32 self-locking socket-head cap screws and two #8 flat washers.
10.5 CONTROL HEAD-TO-RADIO CAN CABLE CONNECTIONS
10.5.1 General Information
A remote-mount radio installation requires a CAN cable between every two “CAN devices” and CAN
terminators on each end of the CAN link. The mobile radio (XG-100M) is considered a CAN device, and
each control head in the installation is also considered a CAN device. Figure 10-8 illustrates CAN cable
and CAN terminator connections for a single control head installation. Because CAN devices do not have
internal terminators, the CAN link must be terminated at both ends via external CAN terminators, as
depicted in the following figures.
