ANNEX

Foreword. The UNHCR installation guideline remain supplementary to the CODAN HF radio
manufacturer. The UNHCR installation guideline focus on the radio system installation only fit to the
specific vehicle. The actual works do not repeat the installation guideline in the manufacturer’s
reference manual.

The Reference Manual supplied by the CODAN manufacturer/dealer is predominant. Pay attention to
the CODAN, NGT SRx Transceiver Reference Manual; The CODAN manufacturer’s recommendation
prevails in regards to his HF radio system and is the lead standard manual to be consulted prior
installation. In particular pay attention to transceiver installation, positioning and grounding transceiver,
control device, antenna, connections and power supply, cables, protection.

QUOTE; excerpt from CODAN Reference Manual;


CABLING
WARNING Do not cut the control, coaxial or speaker cable. If the cables are too long, gather the
excess neatly and secure it out of the way.
CAUTION Large magnetic fields can be generated along the power cable during transmission
and these fields may be coupled into the control cabling. Failure to keep these
cables separated causes distortion of the transmitted signal.
NOTE 32 A cartridge fuse (CODAN part number 15-00711) is recommended.
UNQUOTE

Additional Radio Com Equipment Installation Recommendations.


The following is excerpted from several vehicle manufacturer’s. These are supplementary to the CODAN
reference manual. Mobile two-way radio and telephone equipment must be installed by properly trained
personnel.

Summary; The following must be observed for the proper installation of communication equipment;
 The positive power connection to be connected directly from the battery terminal.
 Install the fuse as close to the battery as practicable.
 The negative power connection to be made to body sheet metal, must be clean of paint.
 Antennas for two-way (transmitter / receiver) radios in front or rear of vehicle.
 Magnets may affect the accuracy or operation of the compass on vehicles so equipped.
 The antenna cable should be as short as practical and routed away from the vehicle wiring.
 Use only fully shielded coaxial cable.
 Match the antenna and cable to the radio to ensure a low Standing Wave Ratio (SWR).
 Mob radio equipment with output power greater than normal require special precautions.
 All installations should be checked for possible interference between the communications
equipment and the vehicle's electronic systems.
 The owner’s first line of contact regarding vehicle problems is the dealer.
 Caution; Do not operate the VHF radio, without the engine run, because battery discharge!
 Caution; Ensure operational status of battery. Maintenance is paramount!
 Reference also made to Owner’s Manual supplied with each vehicle.

CABLING, WIRING must be in a position that;


 is away from operator’s feet. Arrange cable not being exposed to foot trafficking.
Installation Guideline, HF Radio, Toyota LC78L, GFM Project, February 2014, 15-2-2014 Page 30 of 31

 is secured and concealed as much as possible; cables under the floor mats and padding
 ensures the control cables are separated from the DC power cable by at least 200 mm (8 in),
except over short distances where they may pass through the same hole in a bulkhead
 Arrange and keep cables in the engine compartment away from; heat, AC system, water pipes, fan,
throttle linkages and corrosive liquids, e.g. engine oil, battery and brake fluid.
 As longer the cable the bigger the cross-section need.
 Where wiring passes through bulkhead provide grommet to prevent insulation being cut.
 Protect all cable, with isolation tape, split loom tube, grommets and cable ties.
 Hint; A bend radius of six times the harness diameter is recommended.
 Grounding is the most important to tuner and transceiver to avoid poor radio performance.
 Disconnect always the battery NEGATIVE first before beginning work. Note that some components
may lose short-term memory (e.g.: radio presets, or VTS)
 To add power pick-up from existing power plus cable, no splicing or use of jumper terminal at the
socket tolerated.
 For higher power transmitters, connect the power cable (battery +) at the battery terminal.
 For high power installations, connect the battery ground cable/braid additionally to body.
 The engine hood must be bonded to body. Connection with braid straps.
 If the power connection is underhood, use a weatherproof holder, install cartridge fuse.
 DO NOT FUSE THE GROUND LEAD.
 Use plated ground screws, then proper size of ring terminal with lockwasher serrations.
 If the appropriate terminal is exposed to weather apply a commercial protectant, use
sylicon/dielectric grease or pole protection spray “presto” (Trademark), corrosion retarder.
 If the power cable must pass through the bulkhead, search for unused holes in grommet.
 If no passage is available; drill/enlarge a hole in upper side footwell, smooth the edges.
 Fit a standard grommet to run the cable(s), ensure the additional holes are well sealed.
 Hint; To create a hole in the bulkhead, drill diam. 12 or 5mm for pilot hole and open further by a
tapered awl/reamer tool.
 Ensure that all connectors are fully mated and that latches are locked
 Caution; Disconnect NEGATIVE and POSITIVE terminal prior any type of welding!

TRANSMISSION LINE The transmission line (coaxial cable) should be treated in the same way as the control
and power cables.
 Route flat along body, avoid sharp edges and pinches.
 Cross over wiring at right angles. In some cases, additional shielding may be helpful.
 It is recommendable to maintain the maximum spacing from the vehicle harnesses
 Mechanical pressure on the cable can cause degradation or even short circuits.

CONTROLS. Mount the transceiver to a solid surface (Aluminum panel)


 Preliminary; Try out intended installation before drilling of any hole.
 Screws through the floor pan, must be sealed over the underbody projections (moisture).
 Watch out for wire harnesses routed under carpet and behind instrument panel.
 If you mount the radio under the instrument panel; Mount the control head or front panel
(especially the microphone cable) clear of the steering wheel, column controls and passenger
airbag. Stabilize heavy units.
 If ignition switch control is desired, use a power relay to reduce load on the i-switch
Installation Guideline, HF Radio, Toyota LC78L, GFM Project, February 2014, 15-2-2014 Page 31 of 31

REMOTE TRANSCEIVER. For trunk/boot mount installations in passenger car.


 Fit along the inner side panel of body but don’t mount on floor anywhere!
 Fabricate Aluminum plate to replace weak side trim cardboard to locate the transceiver
 Locate away from any vehicle electronic modules located in the rear of the vehicle.
 Assure, check for good air circulation. Do not pile things on top of the unit.

ANTENNA. The antennas should be mounted to body e.g. front bumper or bull bar.
 Most inportant is earthing, ensure conductive braid strap is well connected to ground.
 The heavy anodization on the bull bar for corrosion protection is a very hard. Break the Aluminum
layer by grinding the surface in order to ensure good ground connectivity.
 Some antennas reflect transmission power back to the feedpoint. Much of this will be radiated
from the feedline inside the passenger compartment with negative impact.

WIRE HARNESS AND ROUTING


 Harness and in-line connectors shall be anchored to prevent free movement.
 An anchor point shall be no further than 8cm from a connector.
 The length of an unanchored section of harness should be no more than 30 cm.
 Use tie wraps on harness covering only, not individual wires.
 Do not anchor harness with tie wraps in contact with wire insulation.
 Tie wraps shall not pull on the harness so that connector cable seals are distorted.
 Allow cable to exit connector body without pulling on the connector.
 Harness routing shall not interfere with oil fill plugs, sensor locations.
 To prevent cross threading start all cap screws and nuts by hand then use driver/spanner.
Footnote;

 Design CHECK-LIST in order to perform quality control on the entire installation.

 Use installation guideline to draft check-list.

 Intermediate, agreed checks should be performed during installation and recorded. At the
end the none-visible is the most essential, hidden errors can’t be corrected easily.
o Recommended 3-step quality check; electrical connections, installation of VTS
components, assembling completion. Final check/commissioning is the 4th step.

 Perform functional test of the CODAN radio.

 Final, certified approval of the installation works shall be done by the installer itself or/and
by third parties as by a consultant.
