b. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Description of 4KMR-30U system

The 4KMR-30U Dual Band Wireless Amplifier/Repeater system provides cellular signal

coverage to interior areas that have low signal strength to adequately operate a cellular

phone. In these poor interior coverage areas it becomes difficult to place or receive calls

and usually results in a dropped call. The 4KMR-30U dual band amplifier/repeater

system provides increased reception indoors by filtering, re-directing and amplifying the

available exterior signal. This translates into fewer dropped calls with clearer connections

and stronger signals. The 4KMR-30U dual band system operates with all carriers in the

USA and Canada except Nextel/iDEN providers.

must be able to make

and complete calls

The 4KMR-30U system contains a dual band low power indoor antenna, 40dB gain

amplifier/repeater unit and 9dB gain omni-directional outdoor antenna. Both antennas

must be installed and operate in a vertical position. The indoor antenna must be used with

cable and stand. The outdoor omni-directional antenna, PN 288-PW, is installed outside

of the building. (see specific section for Home/Office, marine and RV installations) The

omni-directional antenna should be installed on the side of the building with the

strongest cellular signal as indicated by the bars on the cell phone. The inside antenna

must be mounted in a central location in the building, RV or boat that is 20’ or greater

from the outside antenna with as much vertical separation as possible. Vertical

separation is better than horizontal. The inside and outside antennas also must be

separated by an exterior wall and roof. Two power supplies are included to maximize

installation flexibility.

Typical In-Building Coverage

The 4KMR-30U system is designed to provide optimal coverage for up to a 1,000 SF to

2,500 SFinterior area (1 room). Interior coverage varies based upon the outside signal

strength and the interior building construction and materials. Typically the 4KMR-30U

system will NOT penetrate an interior wall or floor. To increase interior coverage area, use

one of Digital Antenna’s high gain outside and/or inside directional antennas. (pg 15).

Pre-installation Considerations

Establish a site installation plan based upon desired interior coverage area

•The inside and outside antenna must have a separation distance of 20 feet or

greater, the outside antenna must be outside and separated from the inside antenna

by an exterior wall and roof, and both antennas must be in a vertical position.

•Identify the outside antenna location. If the outdoor coverage area is very poor,

the outside antenna should be placed on the side of the building where the signal

is the strongest. If the signal is equally strong outdoors, the outside antenna

should be placed in a secure, unobstructed area. On an RV the antenna can be

attached to the back ladder. On a boat the outside antenna should be mounted

clear of metal objects, 3’ from other antennas and as high as possible.

•For maximum interior coverage the location of the indoor antenna should have a

direct line-of-site to as much of the coverage area as possible. Never turn the

repeater on without antennas and cables securely attached.

•Based upon the desired interior coverage area, choose a central location for the

DA4000MR repeater unit within 6’ of a 12VDC power receptacle. If the location

of the DA4000MR unit is not mounted within reach of the supplied 30’ cable, a

25’ extension cable and 75’ or 100’ replacement cables are available (sold

separately). The DA4000MR unit is not waterproof and must be mounted in a dry

location.

c. ELECTRICAL POWER

To maximize installation flexibility, the 4KMR-30U system includes 2 power cord

options.

WARNING!

Only the provided power cables are to be used with the 4KMR-30U

system. Using any other power cables will harm the DA4000MR

amplifier/repeater unit, can be detected and voids the warranty.

To plug into a standard 110 VAC receptacle use PN DP255, a 110 VAC to 5VDC Power

Supply.

For use on a boat or RV, plug PN DP515, a 12 VDC to 5 VDC Power Cable, into a 12

VDC cigarette style power receptacle. The 12 VDC power supply has a micro-processor

controller to turn the repeater off if not properly installed. If a red flashing light appears

on the power supply, relocate the inside and outside antennas until the power supply and

repeater have a constant green light. The power supply can be reset by unplugging the

cigarette adapter from the power source.

d. AMPLIFIER/REPEATER STATUS

The DA4000MR unit is designed with a status/fault indicator to indicate proper unit

functionality. The chart below details the different LED color indicators.

LED Amplifier/Repeater Status

Green solid light Normal Status

Yellow/orange flickering light Degree of cellular transmission activity

Solid Red light TURN OFF, Fault needs immediate corrective

action

No light No power to the DA4000MR amplifier/repeater

or unit is damaged

If a red flashing light appears on the DP515 power supply, relocate the inside and outside

antennas until the power supply has a constant green light. The power supply can be reset

by unplugging the cigarette adapter from the power source.

GREEN solid light Normal status

Flashing RED light Power supply stops power to repeater until

antennas are properly installed.

Green light on repeater – shows normal Status and DA4000MR is operating normally

unless coverage area is only 1-2’ from inside antenna. If coverage area is only 1-2’,

DA4000MR repeater has an extremely weak outside signal or is automatically powering

down to prevent an oscillation. Re-locate antennas until coverage area is greater.

Green/yellow/orange flickering light on repeater - shows that cellular activity is being

transmitted through the DA4000MR unit unless cell phone is operating on 1900 MHz.

The light will remain green with low levels of cellular transmission and change to

flickering yellow/orange as transmission increases. The light may remain green with low

levels of transmission. When a yellow/orange light is present, it must always go back to

green when call is finished. If it does not go back to green, re-locate antennas until light

goes back to green.

Solid Red light on Repeater – indicates a fault. Turn OFF power switch and proceed

with the following corrective actions:

•The red light indicates that the inside and outside antennas are located too close to

each other and need to be re-located. A typical installation requires that the inside

and outside antennas have a minimum separation distance of 20 feet and be

separated by an exterior wall and roof. If the inside and outside antennas are not

20 feet apart or more, re-locate the antennas.

•If the outside and inside antennas are separated by 20’ or more and an exterior

wall, the red light may be indicating the use of analog phones. Contact Digital

Antenna if you are using an analog phone.

No light on Repeater – indicates improper installation and the power supply is stopping

power to the repeater or no power is available. Proceed with the following corrective

actions:

•Only after all cables and antennas are securely attached, verify that the power

switch on the DA4000MR unit is in the ON position.

•Unplug the 12VDC power supply from the repeater and the power source. Re-

plug the 12VDC power supply into the power source and test for 5VDC power on

the output plug. 5VDC will only be available if the power supply light is green on

the black box and solid red on the cigarette adapter. 5VDC will not be available at

the plug if the LED on the power supply box is flashing red. The power supply

must be reset by unplugging it from the power source.

•If the red light continues to flash on the power supply box after reset (unplugging

from power source and plugging back in), the antennas need to be re-located until

the light on the power supply box and repeater remain green. If analog service is

being used, contact Digital Antenna.

e. INTERIOR COVERAGE PROBLEMS

If the DA4000MR unit does not indicate a red light and the coverage area appears to be

smaller than anticipated, one or more of the following may limit the signal strength to the

area.

•Cell Phone Bars - The bars on the cell phone do not indicate coverage area. One

bar may be adequate to successfully place and receive calls. Test coverage area by

successfully completing calls while disregarding bar indicator.

•Physical obstructions degrading the cell signal – the path of the cell signal is

weakened by objects. Large metal objects block or reflect the signal. Inspect the

coverage area, rearrange any objects in the path of the cell signal or relocate the

indoor antenna.

•Output Power Control – The DA4000MR has an internal output power control

circuit that automatically lowers the power when the inside and outside antenna

are located too close. Verify that inside and outside antennas are located at least

20’ apart or more and separated by an exterior wall.

•Weak Outside Signal – If the outside signal is very weak, the interior coverage

area will be small. To increase coverage area, use one of Digital Antenna’s high

gain outside and/or inside antennas (pg 15).

•Cabling – examine coaxial cable run and verify that the cable is not kinked,

coiled or damaged. Re-locate cable to avoid kinks or coils. The serial number on

the DA4000MR unit must be available.

The repeater system only amplifies existing outside cell signal; it does NOT create a cell

signal. If no outside signal is present, the repeater has no signal to amplify. The outside

antenna should be mounted as high as possible to capture the available cell signal.

f. COAXIAL CABLE RECOMMENDATIONS

The 4KMR-30U system includes 30’ of Digital Antenna’s PowerMaxTM low loss cable

and connectors for easy installation. If the installed application requires more than the

supplied cable, PowerMaxTM DA340 ULTRA low loss 25’ extension cable and 75’

replacement cable are available. Only Digital Antenna authorized cable can be used to

complete the installation. Unauthorized cable usage can be detected and voids the

warranty. Digital Antenna’s DA440 cable may be used for cable runs less than 150’,

LMR600 by Times Microwave may be used for runs less than 250’. For cable runs

greater than 250’, contact Digital Antenna to verify cable selection.

4. Home/Office Installation

Review pre-installation considerations and determine site installation plan.

1. Install supplied outside antenna (PN 288-PW) to vertical surface or pole with

supplied hardware. Mount the outside antenna clear of metal objects and

obstructions. Outside antenna must be mounted in a vertical position. Antennas

must be separated by a structure and a 20’ or greater distance with as much

vertical separation as possible. Vertical separation is better than horizontal.

WARNING!

Only Digital Antenna authorized products may be used with the

4KMR-30U system. Using unauthorized equipment will harm the

4KMR-30U system, can be detected and voids the warranty.

2. On supplied 30’ cable (PN 240-30NM) (or optional 25’ extension cable or 75’ or

100’ replacement PowerMaxTM cable) attach N male connector to N female

connector on outside antenna. Secure cable to the side of the building with

appropriate fasteners (not supplied). Route cable according to site installation plan

to the DA4000MR unit.

3. Attach mini-UHF male connector at the end of the supplied 30’ cable to

DA4000MR unit on the port labeled outside antenna. Attach the 6’ cable attached

to the inside antenna and stand to the port labeled inside antenna. The inside

antenna must be operated in a vertical position. DO NOT turn the repeater on

until antennas and cables are securely attached.

4. The DA4000MR unit has four mounting holes that can be fastened to a secure

surface. (fastening hardware not included)

5. Plug 100-240VAC power supply to the DA4000MR unit. Plug the other end into

standard household 110VAC receptacle.

6. Turn the power switch to ON. If the light on the DA4000MR unit is green and the

coverage area is greater than 1-2’ then the 4KMR-30U system is operating. Test

the amplifier/repeater system by making a cell call and verifying that the repeater

indicator light does not turn red. If the light on the DA4000MR unit turns red

immediately turn OFF the DA4000MR unit and refer to the Amplifier/Repeater

status section.

The repeater system only amplifies existing outside cell signal; it does NOT

create a cell signal. If no outside signal is present, the repeater has no signal to

amplify. The outside antenna should be mounted as high as possible to capture the

available cell signal.

Inside Coverage area is based upon outside signal strength.

A weak outside signal (-90dB) will provide less inside

coverage area than a stronger outside signal (-70dB).

To increase coverage area, use one of Digital Antenna’s high

gain outside and/or inside directional antennas (pg 15).
