How it Works
Thank you for your purchase of the Force5 Inline signal booster. This booster is designed
to extend the signal reach for Industrial Force5 Inline installations that extend beyond
80,000 square feet.
This guide contains all the information you’ll need to get your Force5 Inline system up
and running. If you need any assistance while installing the product please contact tech
support at 1-888-365-6283.
When a project entails greater area coverage than the Force5 Industrial alone can pro-
vide, additional Force5 Inline boosters can be added to areas where the signal strength
is getting weak or cable lengths are too long causing dB loss.
How it works
Two common ways to increase the coverage area include:
• For areas consisting of long aisles, Force5 Inline boosters can be added where the signal falls to between
-70dB and -90dB.
• For large, wide areas the Force5 Inline boosters can be daisy-chained with the use of splitters to extend the
signal to remote corners.

Before You Start
Step 1. Make sure you have positioned the booster close enough to an existing
electrical outlet.
Step 2. Make sure you have sucient cable length between the main cable
location and booster connector.
Step 3 Make sure you have sucient cable length between proposed inside antenna
location and booster connector.
1. If your indoor antenna is a dome type, mount it on the ceiling in a central location.
2. If your indoor antenna is a at panel, install it against a wall or surface projecting the
area where you want reception. Point the antenna away from the outside antenna.
To avoid interference stay a minimum distance of 3 feet from the panel antenna.
Step 1. Install the Inside Antenna
Inside antennas come in omni-directional (dome) and at panel versions.
Installing Your Hardware
Note: As you can see from the table above, acquiring the recommended inside and outside antenna separation optimizes coverage signicantly.
Any reduced antenna separation reduces the booster’s coverage.

Installing Your Hardware
Step 3: Attach the N-Female connection from the interior antenna to the cable leading to
the connector labeled INSIDE, on your booster.
Step 4: Tighten xing nut to secure antenna (do not over-tighten).
• Storage and transportation: Store and place in non-extreme room-temperature and
dry environment
• Attention: This antenna should not be used near open re or ame
Dome antennas are omni-directional interior antenna that gather signals from all sides.
Range of antennas is dependent on three factors:
1) Physical obstructions
2) Power generated by booster and
3) Reception from outside signal received and
distributed by outside antenna.
Dome antennas should be mounted in
an upright position for best results.
Step 1: Drill a 35mm diameter hole in the ceiling. The ceiling
thickness should be 20mm, maximum.
Step 2: Unscrew xing nut from antenna. Place antenna cable
through hole. Screw the xing nut back onto antenna
and cable on crawl space side of ceiling and fasten.
Installing Your Hardware
Step 2. Install the Signal Booster
1. Select a location for your booster close to a working AC outlet. Do not expose the signal
booster to excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture, and airtight enclosures.
2. Attach the supplied mounting kit to the booster using the supplied screws. Tighten the
screws with a screwdriver until snug, then add a 1⁄4-to-1/2 turn. Do not over tighten.
3. Orient the signal booster so the LEDs and DIP switches face away from the wall and
the LEDs are seen easily. Then mount the signal booster to the wall using appropriate
screws and/or wall anchors.
4. Connect the main cable line from the primary booster to the booster’s connector labeled
“Outside”. Hand-tighten the connection.
5. Connect the inside antenna cable to signal booster marked INSIDE. Hand-tighten the
connection.
6. Connect the AC power cord to the signal booster.
7. Connect the plug on the other end of the 110V AC power outlet.
8. Turn the booster’s power switch on.
• The signal booster turns on automatically.
• The Power LED lights up to show that the signal booster is ready for use.
• The Alert LEDs ash up to 15 seconds on each band to show the band is activated.
Note: If the Power LED does not turn ON or the Alert LEDs continue to ash, see Troubleshooting page 19. This booster is rated for 19V AV input
voltage. DO NOT use the booster with a higher voltage power supply. This can damage the booster, cause persoanl injury and viod your warrenty.

Booster Hardware
The following image shows the key hardware components on the cellullar booster.
Refer to this image as you install your Force5 Inline kit components.
DIP Switches and Lights
The Force5 Inline Industrial booster has the following indicators and controls:
• PCS Uplink Warning light/DIP switches (1): These DIP switches control the PCS communications
with the cellular tower.
• PCS Downlink Warning light/DIP switches (2): These DIP switches control the PCS amplication
within the building.
• Power light (3): This light should be illuminated or blinking green at all times while the booster is
powered on.
• Cellular Downlink Warning light/DIP switches 4): These DIP switches control the cellular
amplication within the building.
• Cellular Uplink Warning light/DIP switches (5): These switches control the cellular communications
with the tower.

Step 3. Congure Gain Settings
Facing the front of your booster, nd 9 banks of Dual In-line Package (DIP) switches.
These switches allow manual dB gain attenuation for uplink and downlink channels.
• Bank 1 controls AT&T communications with the cellular tower.
• Bank 2 controls Verizon and AT&T amplication in the building.
• Bank 3 controls Verizon communications with the cellular tower
• Bank 4 controls Cellular communications with the cellular tower.
• Bank 5 controls Cellular amplication in the building.
• Bank 6 controls PCS amplication with the cellular tower.
• Bank 7 controls PCS amplication in the building.
• Bank 8 controls T-Mobile communications with the cellular tower.
• Bank 9 controls T-Mobile amplication in the building.
The DIP switches in each bank correspond to the following dB gain values:
For maximum gain on all channels, your booster ships with all DIP switches turned OFF.
This setting should always be your starting point when installing or reinstalling the booster.
To change it, move the DIP switches to the ON or OFF position.
• Moving a switch down (away from the LEDs) turns OFF the switch and increases
booster gain for the selected channel.
• Moving a switch up (toward the LEDs) turns ON the switch and decreases booster
gain for the selected channel.
Switch settings are cumulative. This means the total amount of attenuation for a channel
equals the combined dB of all DIP switches in the same bank being set to ON.
