C220 Wire Harness Installation


The C200 and C220 receivers are designed to withstand water and have an impressive IP67 rating. For optimal performance, it is recommended to select a mounting location that offers protection from both weather conditions and excessive vibration.

Antenna Installation


The mounting location should be chosen such that the C200 and C220 receiver antennas has the best possible line of sight with the Handheld in order to maximize the operating range. The standard antenna mount provided is an NMO type. It requires a 3/4” hole. 

  • When installing with a hole saw, remove any burrs, particularly on the under side of the hole.

  • Remove paint in a narrow ring around the hole. 

  • Metal-to-metal contact between the vehicle and the mount is essential for best performance. 

  • An optional L-bracket can also be supplied if it is not possible to cut a 3/4” hole on the mounting surface.

Make sure the gold contact on the mount is clean before attaching the antenna.

For proper antenna contact, the supplied rubber gasket is required for metal thicknesses ranging from 0.030” to 0.050”. The gasket is not required for thicknesses from 0.050” to 0.100”.
