Procedure

Warning; Equipment Installation

 Proper Grounding

 Follow the local building codes for installation of antennas

on buildings.

 Ensure that the exterior mounted donor antenna is

properly mounted and grounded for lightning protection.

 RF exposure Guidelines

 During transmitter operation, in order to meet RF

Maximum Permissible Exposure Safety Guidelines, a

minimum distance of 50 cm (20 in.) shall be maintained

between the outdoor (uplink) antenna and personnel.

 During transmitter operation, in order to meet RF

Maximum Permissible Exposure Safety Guidelines, a

minimum distance of 20 cm (8 in.) shall be maintained

between the indoor antenna and personnel.

 The maximum cellular outdoor (uplink) antenna gain

authorized shall be limited to 18 dBi or less in order to

meet RF exposure (MPE) limit as per FCC guidelines.

 The maximum cellular indoor (downlink) antenna gain

authorized shall be limited to 9 dBi or less in order to

meet RF exposure (MPE) limit as per FCC guidelines.

 When servicing or installing outdoor transmitting elements

(i.e. antennas), all transmitting signal sources should be

turned off in order to meet RF exposure (MPE) limit as per

FCC guidelines.

The repeater unit should be installed in a sheltered area, as it is not

sealed to prevent water (rain) ingress. The repeater unit should not

be installed in an area where the ambient temperature is expected to

exceed +60°C.

The SignalReach

CR300 is not supplied with cabling or antennas.

The indoor and outdoor antenna types and locations must be chosen

carefully to avoid re-generative feedback. Re-generative feedback

occurs when the subscriber antenna picks up the donor antenna

transmit signal. A general rule of thumb is to locate the antennas

where the isolation is at least 10 dB greater than the operating

repeater gain. The SignalReach

repeater has a maximum gain of
