User Manual Preface This user’s manual describes the installation, commissioning and maintenance of wide band consumer boosters. Please do read user manual carefully before installing and maintaining the Boosters. The information in this manual is subject to change without prior notice. 1. Safety Warnings Users must follow the below principles： z Booster should follow system requirement of communication equipment, assure good grounding and lightning protection.
User Manual 2. Why Booster 2.1. Reason 1) Blind or weak signal areas are formed if the buildings are too far away from CELL TOWER, or the buildings themselves shield or absorb signals. 2) There are too many complicated signals in the higher part of the buildings, therefore ping-pong switching effect has been formed and the signals fluctuate a lot, there are annoying noises during phone calls and call drops accordingly. 3) Elevators and basements are well-known for blind areas.
User Manual Question: Will booster increase the RF radiation? A: No, it will decrease instead.
User Manual 3. Introduction Our 10dBm~15dBm Booster is the perfect solution for providing a wireless improvement in the cellular reception of a home, office, restaurant, VIP Room, apartment, building or shopping mall, in the quickest time possibly. One Booster covers 300 to 3000 square meters.
User Manual 4. System Characteristics 4.1. Features z Streamline shape. z Wide band Booster to support signals of all operators. z High-integration (One board to contain low-noise amplifier, frequency selection module, power amplifier module, both uplink and downlink one for all). z Manual gain control provides a variety of applications. z Auto automatic gain control to stabilize the coverage and minimize the noises.

User Manual 5. Block diagram and work principle 10dBm~15dBm Booster is basically a bi-directional amplifier, the downlink signals are received by the Booster from cell tower by the donor antenna, filtered by its internal duplexers and FC unit, amplified by low noise amplifier (LNA) and downlink PA unit, and then sent via the server antenna to the area to improve mobile signals for mobile phones.
User Manual 6. The Booster system Below diagram shows how simple and fast the booster system is installed and works effectively One Yagi antenna, as donor antenna, is installed at the top of the roof to pick up good mobile signals from the cell tower, and send through cable to the booster to amplify the signals significantly, and then the output signals are transmitted into area by the indoor antenna. Very clear phone call or high speed mobile data are immediately achieved within the area.

User Manual 8. Installation of antennas and cable 8.1. Installation of donor antenna The Booster’s main function is to improve weak RF signals of an area. A simple formula: Input power+ Gain= Output power. The signal strength from the outdoor antenna directly affects the efficiency of the indoor coverage. It is very important to choose the donor antenna location in order to get the best signals.

User Manual 8.2. Cable layout and connector assembly 1) Keep the type, specifications, routing direction, location, and curvature radius of cables in compliance with the design requirement. Place cables in good order, bend them smoothly, and protect the outer skin against any damage. 2) Separate RF cables from power cables. Take proper isolation measures if they have to be placed on the same cable racks owing to the site condition restriction.
User Manual 9. Booster Installation 9.1. Installation requirement 9.1.1. Installation Location Requirement 1) The Booster shall be installed indoor in a cool, dry and ventilated room without erosive gas or smoke, or a cool and ventilated wall to ensure excellent heat dissipation 2) Installation height should be easy for RF cable wiring, heat dissipation, security and maintenance. 3) Have a set of independent and stable power supply. 9.1.2.
User Manual impedance of coax will put an extra load on your Booster, shorten its life span and decrease the system performance. 9.3. Booster Settings Please check very carefully all cable connections are correct and firm before running operation test and then carry out following tests. 9.3.1. Switch on power After power is on, check firstly the alarm and power LEDS.
User Manual of power and alarm LEDS, and three system Boosters have three sets of LEDS. Each system has own relevant LED and please refer to the correct LED for system performance evaluation. Then Booster with plastic closet is designed with LEDS of “Alarm LOW” and “Alarm HIGH”.
User Manual For F15C-CP: Switches 1-4 represent Downlink and 4.8 represent Uplink. When it is necessary to adjust the gain by DIP switch, firstly please adjust Downlink gain according to input signals, secondly please adjust Uplink gain according to Downlink gain. The DIP Switches have default ‘OFF’ status; please push relevant switches to “ON” position if certain attenuation value needs to be achieved.
User Manual DIP switch downlink attenuation setting: Att 0 dB 5 dB 10 dB 15dB 1 off ON off ON 2 off off ON ON DIP switch uplink attenuation setting: Att 0 dB 5 dB 10 dB 15dB 3 off ON off ON 4 off off ON ON For F15B-CP： Turn ON the dip switches to reduce gain as follows: 10dB 5dB 10dB 5dB 10dB 5dB 10dB 5dB Put ON a pair of switches for a total of 15dB reduction in gain.
User Manual And the equipment must be as far as possible away from overloading status of “red” (the equipment would hold higher interference and depression ability at this stage). So we shall try our best to set the equipment near “edge point” of green and intention of turning orange during engineering. z Setting of “edge point”: Switch on the power supply after connection with donor antenna and server antenna, and observe ALARM LED.
User Manual 9.4. System Test 9.4.1. Check whether the coverage is good 1) Have a test with mobile phone or data card (engineering mobile phone is preferred). If the signals in most areas have not been improved, please check below again: The weak input signal leads to the low output power. Change the direction of donor antenna or its installation position or replace donor antenna with higher gain antenna to increase input signal power level.
User Manual Remark: Reduce the attenuation values*---at the same time must ensure the isolation Increase the output power* ---recommended ways: adjust the donor antenna direction / location, or replace with higher gain antenna to increase input signal strength. 9.4.2. Booster can not communicate in Power-ON status 1) The power is on but it has a signal fluctuation or a flash signal. The phone call can not be achieved.
User Manual IC STATEMENT Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.
