3.3.3  Land Mobile Radio Antenna 

The LMR antenna must match the frequency of the specific VCA100 model being 
installed on the vehicle.  Ensure that the new LMR antenna is not installed in close 
proximity to any existing LMR antennas.  
 
We recommend keeping the antenna at least 12 inches away from any light bars, 
antennas, or other roof-mounted equipment

 

and MUST be installed so as to provide a 

separation distance of at least 18 inches (45 cm) from all persons. 
 

3.3.4  Power and Fuse 

The vehicle’s main power source is connected to the VCA100 by the DC power cable 
(red) that passes through an inline fuse.  Locate the fuse as close as possible to the 
power source and splice it in with weatherproof butt splices (

).  Mount the fuse 

assembly (Figure 5) to facilitate maintenance.  Splice the power line to the VCA100 
power harness (

) using the step-down splice (

) to accommodate the 

dissimilar wire gauges. 
 

 

 

3.3.5  Manual Switch 

A second, low current, power line (orange) must run through a cab-mounted manual 
toggle switch to the VCA100 S

 input (pin 2).  This switch is not supplied in the 

deliverable installation kit because User-specific vehicle installations vary; i.e., switch 
location is a function of User requirements and vehicle constraints.  An illuminated 
manual switch, appropriately labeled, is recommended.  Connect the switch to a 
1-ampere fuse-protected vehicle power source.
