SECTION 2 DESCRIPTION *COMPACT VHF/UHF MOBILE The 1C-3200A/E measures only 50 millimeters high by 140 millimeters wide by 207 millimeters deep, vet contains 8 full-featured 144/440MHz (430MHz] transceiver. Through careful ICON engineering, the 1C-3200A7E Includes ‘g bully-in: speaker 'to: facilitate installation; resulting | in i3 'compact but ‘complete package.
SECTION 3 INSTALL 3+1: UNPACKING Carefully remove our: transceiver from the packing carton and: examine: it for signs of shipping damage: Notify the delivering carrier or dealer immediately stating full details: should any damages be apparent. [iris recommended you Keep the shipping cartons for storing, moving or reshipping the transceiver if necessary. Accessory hardware, cables; ete. ars packed with the transceiver.
M VEHICLE INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS install the transceiver and brackets securely to minimize physical vibration. To remove the transceiver, it upward on the b Racket latch and towel the bottom half of the mounting bracket. The installation angle of the 1C-3200A/E ‘can’ be varied by about 18 egress to provide the best vii ability.
$:4 POWER REQUIREMENTS The transceiver 18 supplied ready to operate from any regulated 13.8 volt DC 7.5 ampere, negative ground source. An-automobile: 12 volt: negative ground system s usually more than adequate; however; the condition of the vehicle’s electrical system must be good. Stems such as low battery, worn generator/alternator; poor: voltage regulator, etc. impairs both: the: transceiver and the vehicle operation.: High: noise or-low voltage are results of the above deficiencies.
3.5 ANTENNA The: single, most important:item: that: influences the performance: of any communication system is: the antenna. ‘For this reason. a high-duality, '50 ohm gal antenna is recommended whether in a fixed of mobile situation,: The extra investment in a gain antenna is well worth the expense; Follow the antenna manufacture: s instructions when installing and tuning your: mobile or Fixed antenna: USIA high duality: SWERVE meter designed for VHE/UHF applications.
3.6 BASE STATION INSTALLATION The PS-A% DC power supply s recommended Tor a base station power source. Ensure the output voltage is 13.8 volts and the current rating is 7.5 amperes 1f using other manufacturers’ power supplies: ORATION BASE STATION POWER SUPPLY PS 1130V, BA) 103200016 OUTPUT VOLTAGE: 13.8V CURRENT CAPACITY: MORE THAN 7.88 50239 NOTE: The OFC102 interface cable to con: CONNECTOR cent: the (F-46. ta.the: TO:ANT st be purchased separately.
