Two Channel UHF Cell Enhancer
User Handbook
Handbook Number: 50-187601HBKM Page: 10 of 51
3.1 Description
The cell enhancer is constructed within an environmentally protected case which may be either free-
standing or (usually) permanently secured to a vertical wall.
The unit is an on-frequency, two-way repeater which draws its downlink input from an off-air antenna,
amplifies the signal through a pair of channel selective modules, (the modules ‘pick-out’ the channel
from within the frequency band, subjecting it to automatic gain, phase-locked tuning using a set of 16
DIP switches to digitally control the channel frequency). Downlink output to the mobile antenna is
approximately 10Watts and the uplink output to the base antenna is approximately 5Watts.
The whole system is powered from a mains-driven PSU module which supplies 12V DC from 115V
AC mains at a power not exceeding 150Watts. No battery backup is fitted to this system.
All active devices have in-built alarm circuitry which terminates as volt-free, relay contact pairs on an
internal connector. These pairs may be wired in series to produce a single pair that is the ‘sum’ of all
the alarmed devices in the system.
