SECTION 3. INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
The following checks are recommended after receipt of the equipment from shipping
agent:
1. Check for any external damage that could have occurred in transit. If damage
is found, report to the shipping agent and to the supplier immediately.
2. Check that all items on the packing slip are present. If any are missing, report
to the supplier immediately.
3.2 INSTALLATION
NOTE: The unit attenuator has been factory set to the maximum value (30 dB)
at time of shipment. This results in a typical unit gain of 40 dB. The
installer must know the base station signal level to be fed into the unit.
The gain of the unit must be set to a value such that the Rated Output
Power of +19 dBm is not exceeded. The unit must not be operated
above this Rated Output Power as specified in Tables 1-1 and in 1-2.
The Repeater is designed for mounting on a flat vertical surface. Proceed as follows:
1. Locate a suitable mounting location allowing a clearance to route mating cable and
connectors to the unit. Drill four pilot holes on 10.5 x 17.9 inch centers for 3/8" bolts.
Refer to the installation diagram shown in Figure 3-1.
2. Mount the unit ensuring there is good air circulation.
3. Set the unit attenuator according to the above note such that the Rated Output Power is
never exceeded.
4. Connect "BASE" to the cable leading to the base antenna.
5. Connect "DISTRIBUTION" to the cable leading to the distribution antenna.
6. If desired, connect external alarm monitoring equipment to the interface module relay
contact terminals as required.
7. Connect external DC power to the DIN receptacle on the bottom of the unit. The unit
may be powered by DC voltages in the range of 11-15 VDC (negative ground). The unit
is typically powered with the PS338 AC to 12 VDC adapter provided with the unit.
This completes the installation.
