CELL EXTENDER CE-1819-10G2

USER MANUAL AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION OPTIONS

CCI’s Cell Extender product family is easy to install, requires no maintenance, and is fully compatible

with the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (OEM) Base Station equipment. The Cell Extender offers

the maximum installation flexibility by allowing the BTS to be physically distanced from the antenna

and mounting structure. As such, the need to run both a T1 connection and an AC connection on the

mounting structure is eliminated. Three installation options are available:

• Configuration 1 - The CE-1819-10G2 can be mounted on the same mounting structure next to

the Micro Base Station. This option is ideal when an existing micro-BTS site is being upgraded

with a Cell Extender or when both AC and T1 connections are available on the mounting

structure.

• Configuration 2 - The BTS equipment is installed at ground level (or indoors) and the Cell

Extender is mounted on the mounting structure, in close proximity to the antenna. This

configuration is ideal for environments where AC lines and T1-connections are not easily

available on the mounting structure or when it is desired to keep the BTS equipment at ground

level. For this configuration, the Cell Extender should be ordered with the Remote Power Option

(Option 3) which includes a Bias-T and Remote Power Supply module to provide DC power to

the Cell Extender over the Coax cable.

• Configuration 3 - Both the BTS and the Cell Extender equipment are installed at the ground

level or indoors. This is intended for applications where it is impractical to install any equipment

other than the antenna on the mounting structure.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

The CE-1819-10G2 can be either pole mounted or wall mounted. It is delivered with a Pole Mounting

Kit to allow it to be secured to a pole structure. A separate document titled Mounting Instructions –

Outdoor Cell Extender (100141-MNT) is included which provides detailed mounting instructions.

Diagram 1 – Side view of Cell Extender with Pole Mounting Brackets Installed CONNECTING THE CELL EXTENDER TO THE BTS EQUIPMENT The Cell Extender sits between the BTS equipment and the Antennas. The 7/16” DIN connector labeled “FEEDER A (TX/RX)” is connected via a coax feeder line to the TX/RX output of the BTS. The connector labeled “Antenna A (TX/RX)” is then connected to the actual Antenna.

CONNECTING THE ALARMS The Cell Extender provides a dry relay contact for alarming purposes. Both the normally open and the normally closed states are provided.
PAGE 4
USING THE REMOTE POWER MODULE (Option 3) The Remote Power Module allows the Cell Extender to be powered remotely over the coax line, thus eliminating the need to run AC or alarm wires up the mounting structure to the unit. The Remote Power Module is typically installed next to the BTS equipment and sits in-between the BTS and the Cell Extender. With Option 3, the AC and ALARM connectors are no longer available on the Cell Extender, but are now located on the Remote Power Module.
