6. Installation
The installation of Pisces Digital ICS repeater without external antenna(s) is really just placing the unit
next to the window and plugging in the power. However due to natural or manmade obstacles and the
direction of the source signal, signal may not be sufficient for the Pisces to work properly. This section
provides instruction on how to identify the best placement location and the application of Pisces with
external antenna(s).
6.1 Standard Package Installation
Be sure to review the Quick Installation Guide
for instructions on removing the base cover.
Review Section 4 for connections at the base.
• Locate a window location where you would like
to place the repeater main unit. The back of
repeater should be at least partially higher than
the bottom of the window to ensure receiving
of signal.
• Power on the repeater connecting the main
unit with AC power supply unit and plugging
into a wall socket.
• Check the RSSI LED. Coiler recommend
minimum of 3 RSSI LED for quality
performance.
• When RSSI LED is less than 3, please locate a
different window or refer to the 6.2 for external
antenna utilization.
6.2 Utilizing External Donor Antenna
This section refers to using components from
the optional package.
• Disconnect the built-in donor port (refer to
Section 4 for base connections) and connect
the 90° end of the 3 meter cable instead.
• Connect the 7dBi panel antenna to the other
end of the 3 meter cable (should you need a
longer cable or different antenna, please
speak to a Coiler representative).
• Search for a better signal location by
checking the RSSI LED. Be sure to have 3
RSSI LED or more.
• When external antenna is used, be sure to
check the Isolation LED. Best to have all 5
Isolation LED lid.
• Mount the external donor antenna once an
ideal location is found.
Note: when not all of the Isolation LED’s are lid, the gain of the repeater maybe less than 70dB.
