About this file
This document is a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for General Purpose Vehicle Installation by the Bureau of Land Management's Arizona State Office, Version 2.0. The SOP provides detailed instructions for installing specialized radio equipment in law enforcement vehicles, specifically focusing on the Skymira SATRAD Explorer 323, Skymira PepLink LTE Router, and Motorola APX 8500 radio systems.
The installation guidelines include specific requirements such as mounting radio equipment on the driver's side of the prisoner cage, using 8AWG red and black copper stranded wire directly connected to the battery, and installing antenna systems on the vehicle roof. The document mandates direct wiring with no inline fuses, timers, or splices, and specifies precise mounting locations for various components like the SATRAD Gateway, APX 8500, fuse panel, and speakers. Any deviation from the wiring specifications must be approved by the Bureau of Land Management's Arizona State Office Field Communications Team, which can be contacted at 602-867-5580 or blm_az_field_comm_support@blm.gov.
