PSR78 Repeater User Manual V0.1 3.5 Installation 3.5.1 Wall Mount Procedure The wall-mounting bracket has six mounting holes which are used to mount the bracket to the wall. The wall bracket must be securely attached to the wall in order to support the weight of the PSR78. After mounting the bracket to the wall, the PSR78 is placed on the mounting bracket using the four guard screws attached to the PSR78. The following steps should be followed while mounting the repeater: ① Take the PSR78 out of the box.
3.5.3 Grounding Install the ground cable which is included in the package on the side of the repeater as show in the figure below.
PSR78 Repeater User Manual V0.1 3.5.4 Antenna Separation/Isolation Separation between the antennas is necessary to prevent oscillation. Oscillation occurs when the signal entering the system continually reenters, due to the lack of separation between the donor and server antennas. In other words, the signal is being fed back into the system. This creates a constant amplification of the same signal. As a result, the noise level rises above the signal level.
PSR78 Repeater User Manual V0.1 3.5.5 Line of Sight The donor antenna which points towards the base station typically has a narrow beam antenna pattern. As a result, a slight deviation away from the direction of the BTS can lead to less than optimum results. In addition, obstacles between the repeater and the BTS may impair the repeater from obtaining any BTS signal. As a result, the repeater cannot transmit signal to the coverage area.
