Section 3 Before Installation

Please verify the uplink and downlink frequencies labeled on the equipment, ensure

they match with your PO and your system requirements. Please contact your sales

representative if you find any discrepancy.

Read this manual before installation.

Install the equipment only in a normal indoor environment.

The built-in signal strength indicator supports quick deployment without additional tool

and equipment. However, we highly recommend that if possible, always use spectrum

analyzer and other equipment to assist the installation. Ideally, donor signal strength should

have been measured prior to the installation and the link budget and coverage have been

calculated by certified RF system design engineer. BOM, test plan and other documents

must be in place prior to the installation.

Section 4 Safety Information and Regulations

 Do not dismantle the equipment.

 Do not add extra pressure to REPEATER enclosure or attach anything to the

surface.

REPEATER in a strong electric, high-intensity magnetic, corrosive, moist,

excessive temperature and other harsh environments.

 Install the REPEATER in a place that is not accessible by kids and

unauthorized individuals.

 Install and ground the unit following local inbuilding and communication site

construction codes.

 It is your responsibility to ensure the use of REPEATER complies with FCC

Section 6 Step by Step Installation Instruction

1. Find a proper indoor position where a good grounding path is available,

usually on a wall, and install the REPEATER following the steps given in the

QUICK START.

2. Follow the system design documents to locate the donor antenna ad service

antennas. The donor antenna and service antennas must have sufficient isolation,

and 90dB minimum is recommended to ensure the device is working normally.

Donor antenna is typically installed on the rooftop or outside wall with high elevation,

avoiding any obstacle and in line of sight with the base station antenna. The

positions and number of service antennas must be designed properly by a qualified

system design engineer with proper RF planning tool.

3. Route the feed lines from the donor antenna to the REPEATER and service

antennas to the REPEATER following the system design documents. Connect

the feed line to donor antenna, and feed line to service antenna. Waterproof

the connections. Do not connect the feedlines to the REPEATER.

4. Verify isolation between donor antenna and service antennas. If a network

analyzer is available, it is recommended to verify the isolation between the donor

antenna and service antenna by bypassing the REPEATER and testing the

transmission between the port of the feedline to donor antenna and the port of the

feedline to service antenna. Minimum of 90dB is preferred. If the isolation is less

than 85dB, report to your project manager and system design engineer. Relocate

the donor antenna, or service antenna might be necessary. If both options are not

applicable, then the REPEATER gain needs to be adjusted to avoid self oscillation

which needs approval from the project manager and system design engineer, refer

to step 12.

Fig.4 Installation Procedure

5. Adjust the donor antenna orientation.

5.1. If spectrum analyzer or other equivalent RF signal strength

measurement equipment is available (Highly recommended):

5.1.1 Set the spectrum analyzer's frequency range, bandwidth and other

parameters.

5.1.2 Connect donor antenna to the input port of spectrum analyzer.

5.1.3 Adjust donor antenna direction until -45dBm to -55dBm signal strength is

measured.

5.1.4 Connect the donor antenna port to the REPEATER ‘BTS’ port.

5.2. Install the donor antenna without spectrum analyzer:

In case spectrum analyzer or other equivalent RF signal strength

measurement equipment is not available, the “Alarm” indicator on the front

panel can be used to adjust the donor antenna direction. When signal

strength received from the donor antenna is lower than-48dBm, the indicator

is green; when the received signal strength is higher than -35dBm, the

indicator is red; when the received signal strength is between-45dBm and -

38dBm, the indicator is orange. It is suggested to adjust the direction of the

donor antenna to make the indicator just change from green to orange which

indicates the received signal strength is around -48dBm.

5.2.1 Adjust the donor antenna direction until the “Alarm” indicator just

change from green to orange.

5.2.2 Connect the donor antenna port to the REPEATER “BS” port.

If the “Alarm” indicator stays green when you change the donor antenna

direction, this means the donor signal is too weak and you will get degraded

coverage even no coverage. Following are what you need to do

5.2.3 Immediately report to the project manager and system design engineer.

5.2.4 Recommend to confirm the signal strength using a spectrum analyzer

if possible.

5.2.5 Work with your project manager and system engineer, check if you can

replace the donor antenna by a higher gain antenna to get better signal.

5.2.6 Work with your project manager and system engineer, check if you can

relocate the donor antenna to get better signal.

6. Connect the service antenna to REPEATER’s “MS” port.

7. Set all attenuation switches on the ATT switch panel to off position, unless the

system design document requires to reduce the uplink and down gains from factory

default values.

8. Check and ensure “BS” and “MS” ports are connected to feedlines.

9. Connect the power adapter, and plug in the power supply.

10. Follow the test plan, walk test the call quality in the service area.

11. When it is needed, service antennas may be relocated to satisfy coverage

requirement. You will need to get approval from your project manager and system

design engineer.

12. During the walk test, if self oscillation (Refer to Section 9) is observed, this means

either the donor signal is too strong or antenna isolation is insufficient. Report to

the project manager and system design engineer. Repeat Step 4, 5 and 10 if

possible. If the self oscillation still occurs, then

13. The gain of uplink or the downlink, or both needs to be reduced. Use the

combination of switches 1-5 for uplink and 6-10 for downlink to reduce the uplink

and downlink gain respectively. Repeat the walk test until the coverage is

acceptable. Document and report to project manager and system design engineer

on the gain value settlement.

14. Document the installation and test reports, and submit to project manager for

approval.

Section 7 Notices

1. Never Turn on the equipment until both “BTS” and “MS” are connected to

Antenna.

2. Always remove excessive feed lines from the equipment to donor antenna and

service antenna to minimize the cable loss.

3. Always install the donor antenna at the most available highest position and

keep distance from the service antenna to maximize the isolation between each

other. The vertical distance between donor and service antenna should be

more than 3 meters.

4. Certain isolation between donor antenna and service antenna are required to

avoid self-oscillation. In case self-oscillation happens, reposition is required for

the antennas.

5. The donor antenna must be placed at least 2 meters away from other antennas

on the same site.

6. All feed line connections must be waterproofed.

Self oscillation: During the walk test, if handheld indicates there is signal but no

communication, this often means self oscillation occurs. Check the Alarm indicator, if it is

red, this means the donor signal is too strong or antenna isolation is insufficient. Adjust the

downlink attenuation, if the red indicator disappears, then this means the donor signal is

too strong. If the red indicator does not disappear, or the red indicator disappears only if

both uplink and downlink ATT switches are on, this indicates that there is no sufficient

isolation between the donor antenna and service antennas.
