Chapter 1 Introduction
1.3 Base/Control Stations
If the mobile radio equipment is installed at a fixed location and operated as a control station or as a
fixed unit, the radio and antenna installation must comply with the following requirements in order to
ensure optimal performance and compliance with the Product Safety and RF Energy Exposure chapter
in the Operating Manual:
For outdoor antenna installations, proper site grounding and lightning protection are vitally
important.
Failure to provide proper lightning protection may result in permanent damage to the radio
equipment.
• The antenna should be mounted outside the building on the roof or a tower if at all possible and the
antenna cable should be earth grounded.
• The radio chassis must be earth grounded and a lightning surge protector should be used in line
with the radio connector and the outdoor antenna. The lightning surge protector should be earth
grounded and located at the point where the antenna cable enters the building.
• The line voltage power supply must have a proper ground connection.
• As with all fixed site antenna installations, it is the responsibility of the licensee to manage the site
in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. Also, additional compliance actions such as
site survey measurements, signage, and site access restrictions may be required in order to ensure
that exposure limits are not exceeded.

Chapter 2 Reducing Noise Interference
Chapter 2 Reducing Noise Interference
2.1 Introduction
Electrical noise generated by the electrical system of a vehicle, as well as local ambient noise, can
interfere with normal operation of mobile radios. Satisfactory operation of a mobile radio may require
slight or heavy noise reduction, depending upon the relative strength of the radio signal, and upon the
ability of the radio to reject undesired noise. These requirements vary from one vehicle to another, depending upon the vehicle type and required coverage area. When operating in a strong signal area, a
certain amount of noise interference can be tolerated. In weak signal areas, however, noise reduction
becomes very important. As a rule of thumb, noise levels create greatest interference in the 25-50MHz
band and reduce with increasing frequency.
Before attempting any noise reduction procedures, determine the noise source(s). Then, follow a logical, systematic method of elimination until the interference is eliminated or reduced to an acceptable
level.
DO NOT add interference elimination equipment to vehicles equipped with electronic ignition
systems before obtaining advice from the vehicle manufacturer. Addition of some noise suppression components may interfere with proper operation of electronic ignition systems and
could seriously damage them.
Care and patience must be exercised in locating and eliminating noise sources. There may be several
sources of noise, each slightly stronger or weaker than the other. Elimination of one source may seem
ineffective because another noise source remains active at a barely discernible difference in level.
Consult a service manual for the vehicle to determine what noise reduction provisions the manufacturer applies when AM, AM/FM, or CB radios are installed as original equipment. These radios are also
subject to electrical noise interference, and the manufacturer may install noise suppression components only upon those vehicles which require radio equipment at the time of manufacture. These noise
suppression components should be added in any first attempt to suppress noise.
2.1.1 Noise Sources
The three major noise sources affecting mobile radio systems are: (1) radiated noise, (2) conducted
noise, and (3) induced noise. (See Figure 2-1 for typical vehicular noise sources.)
2.1.2 Radiated Noise
Radiated noise enters the radio through the antenna along with the desired signal and can block or
degrade desired communication. It can be generated by power lines, fluorescent lights, or by electrical
discharges from static build-up, ignition systems, or electrical motors. Radiated noise is the most common cause of mobile radio interference.
When a spark discharge or arc takes place through air, energy is radiated at frequencies from a few
kilohertz to hundreds of megahertz. This spurious radiation may have some energy radiated at a frequency near or even identical to the desired radio signal. The standard receiver may be unable to distinguish between the two signals (desired and noise). Therefore they both enter the receiver, resulting
in degradation of the desired signal.
Page 11
Chapter 2 Reducing Noise Interference
It is impractical to prevent all arcing in the standard vehicle electrical system. In an 8-cylinder engine
running at 2,000 RPM, arcing occurs across the spark plugs at a rate of 8,000 sparks per minute or
133 sparks per second. Electrical motors and generators also produce arcs.

2.1.3 Conducted Noise
Conducted noise enters the radio through the points where the radio is attached to the vehicle’s electrical system such as battery cables, ignition switch, chassis ground etc. It can be generated by electrical
transients, electrical motors, poor grounding points, or inadequate electrical system filtering (from alternators, generators, voltage regulators, or weak batteries). Conducted noise can degrade both transmit
and receive performance of a mobile radio.
2.1.4 Induced Noise
Induced noise enters the radio through the proximity of radio wiring to other wiring in the vehicle.
Electrical currents through the standard vehicular wiring can induce undesirable noise signals into
the radio cabling. Communication is degraded simply because the wiring provides a transformertype
coupling action without any actual physical connection. Induced noise can degrade both transmit and
receive performance of a mobile radio.

Chapter 2 Reducing Noise Interference
2.2 Operation of a Conventional Ignition System
2.2.1 Introduction
To effectively reduce ignition interference in a vehicle, it is well to understand the operation of an automobile ignition system.
Ignition is necessary in a gasoline engine to ignite the gasoline vapor and the air mixture in its cylinders. The system is made up of the battery, distributor, breaker points, coil, condenser, and spark
plugs. The battery is the only electrical source of power in an automobile, so the lower battery voltage
must be stepped up to the high voltage necessary to arc across the spark plug electrodes.
This arc ignites the gas mixture.
2.2.2 Sources of Ignition Interference
In the conventional ignition system (Figure 2-2) a mechanical circuit breaker (the cam and points in the
distributor) opens the primary circuit of the ignition coil, and high voltage is developed at the secondary. This high voltage is synchronized and applied to each spark plug by the distributor.

Figure 2-2 Typical Vehicular Ignition System, Simplified Schematic Diagram
The battery is connected to the primary winding of the coil through the ignition switch. The primary circuit is returned to the battery through the breaker points, which are bypassed by the condenser.
The points are normally closed. As the cam shaft is rotated by the engine, its lobes or corners open
and close the points in proper synchronization with the piston in each cylinder.
With the ignition switch on and the breaker points closed, coil primary current builds up at a rate etermined by the coil inductance.
Page 13
Chapter 2 Reducing Noise Interference
When the breaker points open, primary current decreases and, by self-induction, an electromotive
force is induced in the primary which is many times greater than the battery voltage. The high voltage
inducted in the coil secondary causes a spark across the distributor rotor-to-spark plug wire gap and
then across the spark plug gap for a short interval of time when the breaker points open. The condenser reduces arcing of the points.
The secondary circuit of the ignition coil, including the distributor rotor gap and the spark gap, is the
main source of ignition interference. The lead inductance and stray capacitance provide a tuned circuit.
Because the discharge of the circuit is through a low resistance (ionized spark gap), the circuit tends to
oscillate. The frequency and amplitude of oscillation vary as current changes in the spark gap.
2.3 Detection of Noise Sources
2.3.1 Noise Detection Procedure
Detection of offending noise sources is the heart of noise suppression because, after the noise source
is identified, the solution becomes obvious. A logical methodical procedure is basic to the effective
noise suppression.
Use your available equipment to best advantage. A pick-up loop, about one inch in diameter, can be
connected to a portable CB radio or a mobile radio being operated at a frequency similar to the installed radio frequency but from an isolated supply voltage. The pick-up loop can be moved throughout
the vehicle with the radio used as a radiated noise detector. Be sure the pick-up loop has sufficient insulation to prevent the input of the radio from coming into direct contact with high voltage points in the
vehicle ignition system.
A non-polarized bypass capacitor, which has alligator clips firmly attached, can be used on a trialanderror basis to locate wiring which needs additional filtering. Keep capacitor lead lengths short for best
suppression. Ceramic disc capacitors are not as suitable or effective as automotive coaxial capacitors.
2.3.2 Sources of Noise
Some interference is due to geographic location. This interference does not need to be eliminated
since it is possible for the vehicle to be moved away from the interfering noise source. Noise from
power lines, fluorescent lights, and other vehicles (emitting high levels of radiated noise) are examples
of noise which depends upon location. Make certain that you are not attempting to suppress noise
in a vehicle while it is in a noisy location. If you suspect that your location is noisy, simply turn off everything in the vehicle except the radio and listen to the remaining ambient noise. If the noise level is
objectionable, you may have to noise suppress the vehicle during a less noisy time of day or in a different, quieter location.
Check the installed radio for conducted and inducted noise by using an unmodulated signal generator
to supply a clean RF signal through a coaxial cable directly to the antenna connector on the radio set.
This should prevent radiated noise from entering the receiver and masking conducted and induced
noise. Ensure that the signal generator is not microphonic and is placed away from the noise of the engine and exhaust.
Operate the controls for fans, blowers, power windows, headlamps, turn signals, windshield wipers,
and other electrical accessories. Listen for the presence of noise in the received radio signal. This will
allow the source of the interference to be determined. Some noise sources cannot be turned on and off
at will. These sources will need to be attacked piecemeal on a trial and error basis: alternator whine,
voltage regulators, electric fuel pump, and other possible sources. Remember that induced noise can
result from radio wiring being too close to other vehicle wiring. This problem is most easily solved by
proper cable routing at the time of installation.
Page 14
Chapter 2 Reducing Noise Interference
Radiated noise must be attacked after conducted and induced noise has been satisfactorily suppressed. The vehicle ignition system is usually the primary source of this interference. Antenna placement can be critical in some installations. Remember that static discharge generates static or radiated
noise and will probably be generated only when the vehicle is in motion. Since radiated noise interference is most noticeable in weak signal areas, it is suggested that suppression be finalized while listening to a weak “on frequency” signal. (The squelch should be “open” so that even marginal signals can
be heard.)
2.4 Noise Reduction Techniques
2.4.1 General
There are three basic ways to suppress noise. The first is the addition of resistance in circuits subject
to ringing. This method is used for the ignition coil HV cable, spark plug wires, and spark plugs. The
second is to filter noise from low voltage wiring using coaxial bypass capacitors. The third is to control
static charge build-up using wipers for movable parts such as automobile hoods and trunk lids, or flexible bonding leads for fixed members. Static in wheels may also be controlled using collector rings. Applications of each of these techniques are discussed below.
The vehicle manufacturer’s service manual also may provide noise suppression information which is
valuable in any first attempt at noise suppression.
2.4.2 Ignition System Interference
2.4.2.1 Engine Maintenance and Tune-Up
The most important step in reducing ignition noise is insuring that the engine is in proper tune. Pay
particular attention to the following points if the noise interference from the ignition system is severe:
1. Be sure the spark plugs distributor points, and condenser are in good condition.
2. Be sure ignition timing is properly adjusted.
3. Be sure the distributor cap and rotor are in good condition. They should be replaced at least every 30,000 miles.
4. Be sure that spark plug wires make good, solid contact at each end and are routed as far as
possible from low voltage leads.
5. Many late-model automobiles are equipped with a shield over the distributor points. Check to
see that this shield is properly positioned and securely attached.
2.4.2.2 Noise Reduction Kits
Most auto parts dealers can supply 0.05 μF bypass capacitors (condensers), resistive ignition wires,
and resistor spark plugs. The type of spark suppression used in noise reduction should always be in
accordance with the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer, that is, if spark plugs are to be replaced with built-in suppressor types, they should be in the proper heat ranges and thread sizes for the
particular engine. In each ignition system, there is a maximum amount of resistance that may be connected between the distributor and a spark plug. If resistance-type ignition wire is used, the length of
each wire must be limited so that its resistance does not exceed the allowable maximum.
2.4.2.3 Ignition Coil Interference
This type of interference is characterized by a popping sound which is most noticeable when the engine is running slowly. To suppress the noise, connect a 0.1 μF coaxial capacitor from the battery side
of the ignition coil to vehicle ground (see Figure 2-3). This keeps the distributor noise from being conducted through the battery lead into the electrical system of the vehicle. Note that some electronic ignition systems do not route the battery lead to the ignition coil; proper operation of the ignition system
can be impaired if the”input” terminal is bypassed.

2.4.2.4 Distributor Interference
This type of interference is characterized by popping sounds which are present at all engine speeds.
It is caused by sparking between the rotor and the distributor cap inserts as the rotor turns. To suppress this noise, use resistance ignition wire to connect the ignition coil to the distributor cap.
2.4.2.5 Battery Connections
The radio set power cable can pick up noise generated in the vehicle. This can be minimized by connecting the power cable directly to the battery instead of the fuse block. The battery acts like a large
capacitor (about one Farad for a 50 Amp/hour battery), which bypasses induced noise. The battery
ground lead should be securely bonded to the vehicle frame. Undesirable parallel ground currents can
be minimized by using the vehicle frame as a common ground point. If ignition switch control of the
radio is desired, the radio power leads may be connected to the battery through a relay which is controlled by the ignition switch.
Page 16
Chapter 2 Reducing Noise Interference
2.4.3 Alternator/Generator Whine
This type of interference is characterized by a high-pitched whine which varies with engine speed. A 0.5
μF coaxial capacitor can be used to bypass the whine. For generators, the capacitors is connected in
the armature lead. Never use a capacitor in the field lead. For alternators, the capacitor is connected in
the lead to the battery post (see Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-5).

2.4.4 Voltage Regulator Noise
This type of interference is characterized by erratic popping noises which change only slightly with
changes in engine speed. The noise is generated by arcing in the vibrating breaker contacts of the
voltage regulator. It can be suppressed by connecting a 0.5 μF coaxial capacitor in the battery and armature leads of the voltage regulator (see Figure 2-6).
Disconnect the battery ground terminal before attempting to connect components to the voltage regulator.

2.4.6 Ground Bonding
If a vehicle is not properly bonded to ground, static charges can increase. This increase can cause
noise from electrical arcing. This type of noise is suppressed by bonding the part using one-inch wide
ground straps (keep them as short as possible). Some common points where bonding may be helpful
are listed below (see Figure 2-7).
A. From engine block to the firewall.
B. From engine block to vehicle frame at points where the engine is shock-mounted.
C. From the battery ground terminal to the vehicle body.
D. From top of front wheel “A” frames to chassis, particularly in cases where rubber-mounted members are used.

3.1 Planning the Installation
The mobile radio operates only in negative ground electrical systems. Before starting the radio installation, make sure that the ground polarity of the vehicle is correct. Accidentally reversing the polarity will
not damage the radio, but will cause the cable fuses to blow.
Planning is the key to fast, easy radio installation. Before starting the installation, inspect the vehicle
and determine how and where you intend to mount the antenna, radio, and accessories. Plan wire and
cable runs to provide maximum protection from inching, crushing, and overheating.
Before installing any electrical equipment, check the vehicle manufacturer’s user manual.
The installation of this device should be completed by an authorized servicer or installer.
3.1.1 Tools Required for Installation
r 11/32 hex driver
r Rubber-coated pliers
r Regular slot screwdriver or Phillips #2
r 1/4 hex driver
3.1.2 Installation Example
Currently your mobile radio can only be dash-mounted (see Figure 3-1).

3.2 Radio Mounting
DO NOT mount the radio on a plastic dashboard without first reinforcing the dashboard; the
weight of the radio may crack or break the dashboard.
DO NOT mount the radio on a flat or concave surface where the radio could be partially
submersed in water. This is especially important if the cab area of the vehicle is cleaned by
spraying with water. If the radio sits in water for a length of time, moisture may seep inside
the radio and damage the electronic components.
DO NOT allow water to stand in recessed areas of vertically mounted radios. Remove any
moisture immediately to prevent it from seeping down into the radio.
The mounting location must be accessible and visible. Select a location that will permit routing the RF
antenna cable as directly as possible.
For new or existing installations, use one of the mounting kits as specified in Table 3-1. Orient the
mounting trunnion as shown in Figure 3-3.

2. Slide out the radio.
NOTE:The fixing tabs should be checked for tightness each time the radio is removed. The tabs are
easily tightened by twisting a large flat-head screwdriver in the slot behind the tabs.
NOTE:The frame is not designed for regular mounting and demounting.
3.3 Power Cable
Route the red radio power cable from the radio to the vehicle’s battery compartment, using accepted
industry methods and standards. Be sure to grommet the firewall hole to protect the cable. Remove the
15-Amp or 20-Amp fuse from the fuseholder and connect the red lead of the radio power cable to the
positive battery terminal using the hardware provided as shown in Figure 3-8. Connect the black lead
to a convenient solid chassis ground point. DO NOT connect the black lead directly to the battery’s
negative terminal.
Page 26
Chapter 3 Installation Details for Standard Configurations
CAUTION
A good chassis connection via the black primary
power cable is essential for radio operation and
to prevent damage to the radio and cable kit.
Connection to the vehicle frame is desirable.

NOTE:
Caution: if you choose to connect the radio’s IGNITION line directly to the car’s battery, excess use of
the radio when the car’s ignition is not running (i.e. alternator running) could result in a slow discharge
of the car’s battery. This configuration allows the radio to operate with the car’s ignition switch ON or
OFF.
If the radio’s IGNITION line is wired to the car’s ignition switch, the radio will only function when the
car’s ignition switch is turned ON.
Figure 3-8 Cabling Interconnect Diagram for Dash Mount
3.4 Ignition Sense Cable
Vertex Standard supplies an ignition sense cable and recommends that it be used with every mobile
installation. The ignition sense cable allows the radio to be turned on and off with the vehicle ignition
switch, and allows the radio to “remember” the state of the radio on/off switch, even if it is changed
while the vehicle is off.
• For radio ON/OFF control independent of the ignition switch, connect the red ignition cable (pin
25 of accessory connector) to “battery hot” at the vehicle fuse block (dash mount only).
• For radio ON/OFF control via the ignition switch, connect the red ignition cable to “ignition” at
the fuse block.
The ignition sense cable uses either a 3-Amp or 4-Amp fuse.
For other considerations when connecting the ignition cable, see the Vertex Standard VXD Series Mobile Radios Basic Service Manual.

3.5 Antenna Installation
IMPORTANT NOTE: To assure optimum performance and compliance with RF Energy Safety standards, these antenna installation guidelines and instructions are limited to metalbody vehicles with appropriate ground planes and take into account the potential
exposure of back seat passengers and bystanders outside the vehicle.
NOTE:For mobile radios with rated power of 7 watts or less, the only installation restrictions are to use
only Vertex Standard approved antennas and install the antenna externally on metal body vehicles. For mobile radios with rated power greater than 7 Watts, always adhere to all the guidelines and restrictions in Section 3.5.1 below.
3.5.1 Selecting an Antenna Site/Location on a Metal Body Vehicle
1. External Installation - Check the requirements of the antenna supplier and install the vehicle antenna external to a metal body vehicle in accordance with those requirements.
2. Roof Top - For optimum performance and compliance with RF Energy Safety Standards, mount the
antenna in the center of the roof.
3. Trunk Lid - On some vehicles with clearly defined, flat trunk lids, the antennas of some radio models (see restrictions below) can also be mounted on the center area of the trunk lid. For vehicles
without clearly defined, flat trunk lids (such as hatchback autos, sport utility vehicles, and pick-up
trucks), mount the antenna in the center of the roof.
BEFORE INSTALLING AN ANTENNA ON THE TRUNK LID,
- Be sure that the distance from the antenna location on the trunk lid will be at least 85 cm (33
inches) from the front surface of the rear seat-back to assure compliance with RF Energy Safety
standards.
- Ensure that the trunk lid is grounded by connecting grounding straps between the trunk lid and
the vehicle chassis.
NOTE: If these conditions cannot be satisfied, then mount the antenna on the roof top.
4. Ensure the antenna cable can be easily routed to the radio. Route the antenna cable as far away as
possible from the vehicle electronic control units and associated wiring.
5. Check the antenna location for any electrical interference.
6. Make sure the mobile radio antenna is installed at least 30 centimeters (1 foot) away from any other
antenna on the vehicle.
7. Any mobile radio antenna should be at least 30 centimeters (1 foot) away from the RF antenna.
NOTE:Any two metal pieces rubbing against each other (such as seat springs, shift levers, trunk and
hood lids, exhaust pipes, etc.) in close proximity to the antenna can cause severe receiver interference.
Page 28
Chapter 3 Installation Details for Standard Configurations
3.5.2 Antenna Installation Procedure
1. Mount the antenna according to the instructions provided with the antenna kit. Run the coaxial cable to the radio mounting location. If necessary, cut off the excess cable and install the cable connector.
2. Connect the antenna cable connector to the radio antenna connector on the rear of the radio.
3. In case of a GPS model, connect the GPS antenna to the GPS antenna connector on the rear of
the radio.

3.5.3 Antenna Connection
To ensure a secure connection of an antenna cable’s mini-UHF plug to a radio’s mini-UHF jack, their
interlocking features must be properly engaged. If they are not properly engaged, the system will loosen.
NOTE:Applying excessive force with a tool can cause damage to the antenna or the connector (e.g.,
stripping threads, deforming the collar or connector, or causing the connector to twist in the
housing opening and break).
Vertex Standard recommends the following sequence to ensure proper attachment of the system (see
Figure 3-10):

Figure 3-10 Mini-UHF Connection
1. Make sure that there is sufficient slack in the antenna cable.
2. Make sure that the collar of the antenna cable plug is loose and does not bind.
3. Slide the collar back against the flange. Insert the antenna cable plug’s pin fully into the radio jack,
but do not engage the threads.
4. Ensure that the plug’s and jack’s interlocking features are fully seated. Check this by grasping the
crimp on the cable jack, rotating the cable, and noting any movement. If the features are seated
correctly, there should be NO movement.
5. Finger-tighten the antenna cable plug’s collar onto the radio’s jack.
6. Give a final tug, by hand, to the collar, and retighten by hand as firmly as possible.
7. Use the rubber-coated pliers to grip the plug’s knurled collar, then turn clockwise to tighten the collar. It should take 1/4 turn or less. Turning counterclockwise loosens the collar.
NOTE:Overtightening the collar can damage the connector and the radio.

3.6 Microphone Hang-Up Clip
3.6.1 Standard Hang-Up Clip
The hang-up clip must be within reach of the operator(s). Measure this distance before actually mounting the bracket. Since the bracket has a positive-detent action, the microphone can be mounted in any
position. The microphone hang-up clip must be grounded.
Use the hang-up clip as a template to locate the mounting holes. To avoid interference when removing
the microphone, install the flathead screw in the top clip hole.
3.7 Completing the Installation
Complete the installation by connecting the power wires and plugging in the microphone cable to the
mobile.
