IMPORTANTThis system is designed for Univenal Installation of many different Manufacturen equipment. When required, specific instructions or templates included in this package are provided when the Universal Mounting Method is not applicable. I. Selection of the Mounting Area Note: Specific templates are included for J.I. CaseModel 580K equipment. Use universal template for John Deere, Caterpillar, Fiatallis and other manufacturers. A. This product is designed for overhead (roof) mounting in vehicles where a dash mounted radio is not practical. The usual application includes construction vehicles, agricultural vehicles, and others provided they have an enclosed cab. B. Since the product is to be mounted overhead, special consideration should be given to placement,accessibility for use and safety.As for placement the unit should be centered abovethe operator and slightly forward. Accessibility to the radio's controls and functions is necessary,so the unit should be located within reach. Safety cannot be ignored. Usage must be not distract the operator any more than a conventional dash mounted unit would. Also since the unit is to be mounted overhead. you must consider it as a normal obstruction that the operator could come in contact with. This is especially true in vehicles that normally operate off road. C. With the three previous main considerations examined, you should now select the mounting area. The final consideration is mechanical mounting capabiltiy. Examine the mounting illustration and verify the selectedarea is suitable for drilling of the two bolt holes, wiring accessetc. Use the template provided to verify sufficient spaceexists on the mounting area to accept the unit. 2. Pre-InstalIlation Checks A. Determine the cab roof structure. It is like Fig. A, Fig. B, or Fig. C. B. If it is like Fig. A, you must install the CE-31 00 as shown in Fig. I C.1f it is like Fig. B, you must install the CE-31 00 as shown in Fig. 2 C.1f it is like Fig. C. you must install the CE-3100 as shown in Fig. 3 3. Antenna Installation (Roof Mounting) A. The universal antenna may be mounted on the top of the roof or on the side of the cab. Refer to the instructions included with the antenna for side mounting. Note: to insure a leak proof mount. B. AI\vavs mount the antenna within reach of the radio (the cable is 59" long). C. It is easier to drill the antenna mounting hole and mount the antenna before proceeding with the radio installation. D. T\vo types of mounting conditions mayexist: I. If the roof has no liner or if the liner is tight against the underside of the roof (no air gap), you will drill a 3/4" hole through the roof and and the roof liner (total thickness cannot exceed 3/8"). Also the hole must be located outside the mounting plate or it will interfere with the antenna mounting. 2. If the roof has a roof liner and there is an air gap of at least two (2") inches between the liner and the underside of the rrof. you will drill a 3/4" hole only through the roof (do not drill through the liner). You can also mount the antenna anywhere including directly above the radio area sisnce the 2" gap will prevent any interference. E. Once the hole is is drilled, install the antenna by following the instructions included with the antenna.Use sealant to insure the antenna mounting hole will not leak. F. If the vehicle has a roof liner, you will have to drill a 3/8" hole in the liner to route the antenna cable out of the roof. This hole should be drilled as close to the "Wiring Access" hole shown on the radio mounting. Note: If roof mounting of the antenna is not practical, the antenna can be mounted on the sides ofthc cab or other areas (se( antenna instructions). This location should always allow the antenna to be as high as possible for maximum reception 4. Wiring (See Fig. 5, 6) A. Connect the antenna cable to the socket on the rear of the radio. B. Connect the Red power lead to (+) 12 volts. C. Connect the Black ground lead to the vehicle's chassis ground. Caution: For use with 12 volt negative ground system only, For 24 Volt Neg. ground, use with converter. Printed in U.S.A. Form No. 128-445~ Fig. 1 Installation I. Use universal template provided and locate on roof the desired mounting area. Observe cautions for possible interference in headliner or steel roof. 2. Drill two 5/16" dia. holes through the fiberglass roof cap, the steel roof and headliner making certain the drill is 900 to the roof. 3. Enlarge the 5/16" holes in the fiberglass roof to 1 3/8" dia. Warning -Only enlarge the two holes in the roof cap. Do not enlarge the holes in the steel roof or headliner. 4. Remove the inside headliner. 5. Assemble the two selected mounting bolts, cup washers, grommets, flat washers and jamb nuts to the steel roof using the wrench provided. Make certain you apply sealant (not included) as shown. 6. Replace headliner. 7. Assemble radio mounting plate assembly to bolt studs as shown. 8. Complete wiring. 9. Place housing below radio plate assembly and connect speaker wiring to radio wiring. 10.Securehousing using six screws and washers provided. 11.Insert the two 1 3/8" plugs in fiberglass headliner using sealant to insure water-proof seal.. 12.SeeFig. 4 if installing CElOO/CE200/CE300. Fig. 2 Installation I. Use universal template provided and locate on roof the desired mounting area. Observe cautions for possible interference in headliner or steel roof. 2.
