Each donor antenna should be mounted safely and securely where it can access the desired cellular network. A
coaxial cable connects the donor antenna to the NU’s RF port for each given carrier.
Small Cell Donor
If a small cell is used as the donor source then it should be connected at this time.
The input signal level for the donor port should be between -60 and -50 dBm.
Note: the small cell should be fully-operational in standalone mode prior to being connected to the QUATRA 4000.
Power
The QUATRA 4000 system is powered from the Network Unit (NU). The NU comes with a power cord that plugs
in to the back of the unit. The Coverage Units (CU) are Powered-over-Ethernet (PoE) and therefore do not have
independent power supplies that need to be plugged in.
The entire system should be installed, CUs located in the desired coverage location, before the system is powered-
on. The power cord can be installed, with the switch in the OFF position. When the system is ready to be powered,
switch to ON.
Note: It is recommended to zip-tie or otherwise secure the power cord once the system is powered-up, to prevent
accidental unplugging.
CU
Mounting
The Coverage Unit (CU) comes with a wall mounting bracket in the box. To mount the QUATRA 4000 CU simply
follow these steps:
1. Position the QUATRA 4000 CU wall mount on the wall in the desired mounting location.
Note: Whenever mounting any Cel-Fi gear on a wall or ceiling make sure the area is free of any dangerous
electrical wires, other safety hazards, or any other objects that could be damaged or effect the quality or
stability of the mounted unit.
2. Holding the mounting bracket in place, mark hole locations with a pencil.
3. Drill the holes.
