Introduction In-building repeaters provide enhanced coverage of cellular telephone signals for areas that are confined or enclosed such as tunnels, underground parking garages, and within buildings. Many buildings are constructed of materials like metal, brick and concrete that attenuate cellular telephone signals. Symptoms such as dropped calls, broken audio and static indicate the need for an in-building repeater.
external components. Its auxiliary indoor antenna port allows a second indoor zone to be easily connected. The repeater can be powered by its AC adapter or through the in-building primary subscriber antenna port using an optional power inserter. This product is designed for installations where cellular coverage is available outside the building, and indoor coverage is inadequate.
device, and processes the entire cellular 800MHz spectrum. Input and output duplexers and band pass filters in the downlink and uplink path provide the repeater’s filtering and isolation. The maximum gain in each of the downlink and uplink path is 60dB. Both the downlink and uplink paths incorporate automatic gain control, to ensure that downlink and uplink power amplifiers are not overdriven and operate free of distortion.
Installation Warning; Equipment Installation: Procedure Proper Grounding Follow the local building codes for installation of antennae on buildings. Ensure that the exterior mounted donor antenna is properly mounted and grounded for lightning protection. RF exposure Guidelines During transmitter operation, in order to meet RF Maximum Permissible Exposure Safety Guidelines, a minimum distance of 50 cm (20 in.) shall be maintained between the outdoor (uplink) antenna and personnel.
Product The CR100 does not require maintenance, as long as it is properly installed Maintenance following the guidelines stated in this manual. It is recommended that all RF connectors be periodically checked for corrosion, strain relief, and the integrity of power connections Operation The in-building repeater operates automatically and does not require user intervention.
Troubleshooting The repeater unit contains no user serviceable parts and should not require maintenance. Two LEDs on the unit will indicate if it is functioning properly. Symptom Power LED is off, status LED is off Cause The repeater does not have power applied to it Action Check the power supply connection. Power LED is on, status LED is off The repeater is operating normally None.
