∙Space containing radio equipment shall be isolated by a seal from the space containing the LP gas container and its fittings.
∙Outside filling connections shall be used for the LP gas container.
∙The LP gas container space shall be vented to the outside of the vehicle.
INSTALLATION
RUNNING CABLES
To assure the feasibility of the planned cable routings, it is suggested that the cables be run before mounting the radio. The Orion mobile radio may be installed as a Front Mount, Remote Mount or Cassette Mount. The type of mount, the application and the options to be installed should be considered when planning the cable runs. Figures 5- 12 provide Interconnection Diagrams for typical installations. Figures
Be sure to leave some slack in each cable going to the radio so that the radio may be pulled out for servicing with the power applied and antenna attached. Coil any surplus cables and secure them out of the way. Try to route the cables away from locations where they will be exposed to heat (exhaust pipes, mufflers, tailpipes, etc.), battery acid, sharp edges or mechanical damage or where they will be a nuisance to automobile mechanics, the driver or passengers. Keep wiring away from electronic computer modules, other electronic modules and ignition circuits to help prevent interference to these components and radio equipment.
In addition, try to utilize existing holes in the firewall, trunk wall and the channels above or beneath doors. Channels through door and window columns that are convenient for running cables may also be used, unless rigid or flexible conduit is to be installed for cable runs.
