outside wall of a building. A cell phone can be used to determine if an
adequate signal is present at the chosen location. Run a length of 50-ohm
cable (LMR-240 is recommended for cable runs less than 15meters (50ft))
between chosen location and the repeater unit.
Warning Equipment Installation:
• Follow the local building codes for installation of antennae on buildings.
Ensure that the exterior mounted donor antenna is properly mounted
and grounded for lightening protection.
• To ensure compliance to FCC rules and regulations, Arrista
recommends that trained technicians install this product.
• The SignalReach CR100 does not come packaged with cabling or any
antennae. In order to satisfy FCC regulations pertaining to Maximum
Permissible Exposure, specified antenna gain (dBi) for the outdoor
donor antenna should be limited to 18 dBi or less, while the gain of the
indoor subscriber antenna should be limited to 9dBi or less.
• When servicing or installing transmitting elements (i.e. antennae), all
transmitting signal sources should be turned off to minimize exposure
to non-ionizing radiation as mandated by FCC MPE requirements.
• During normal operation general public shall maintain a distance of 50
cm from any outdoor radiating donor antenna as well general public
shall maintain a distance of 20 cm from any indoor radiating subscriber
antenna.
Select a suitable location for the in-building subscriber antenna, and connect
it to the primary port of the repeater (using a second length of 50-ohm cable if
necessary).
If a second subscriber antenna is to be used, select a location that is at least
16 meters (55ft) away. Obviously, to maximize coverage area, it would be
better to locate the two subscriber antennae in opposite directions. Once the
antenna is connected, adjust the sliding switch to enable the secondary
subscriber port,
If only one in-building subscriber antenna is to be used, flip the switch to
disable the second subscriber port.
Verify all cables are connected properly and connect the provided AC to DC
adapter to the unit. The power LED will illuminate, and the FAULT LED
should briefly flash and then extinguish. If the FAULT LED remains on, it
indicates an isolation (i.e. re-generative feedback) problem with the unit.
If the FAULT LED remains off, the repeater is now ready for use. The unit
