4. Installation – General Notes
4.1. General Remarks
When this equipment is initially commissioned, please use the equipment set-up record sheet in
Appendix B. This will help both the installation personnel and Axell Wireless should these figures
be needed for future reference or diagnosis.
The procedure for installing and commissioning an Axell Wall Mount Repeater is generally as
follows:
1) Secure the Repeater in the chosen wall position.
2) Connect the input and output cables to the relevant Amplifier ports.
3) Connect a suitable mains power supply to the Amplifier
4) Switch the equipment mains on with the small switch located inside the Amplifier on the
lower right hand side of the case.
5) If Base Station RF is available, make test calls via the Amplifier to ensure correct operation,
if possible monitoring the signal levels during these calls to ensure that the uplink and
downlink RF levels are as anticipated.
4.2. Electrical Connections
It is recommended that the electrical mains connection is made by a qualified electrician, who must
be satisfied that the supply will be the correct voltage and of sufficient capacity.
All electrical and RF connections should be completed and checked prior to power being applied
for the first time.
Ensure that connections are kept clean and are fully tightened.
4.3. RF Connections
Care must be taken to ensure that the correct connections are made with particular attention made
to the RF input and output ports. In the event that the base transmitter is connected to the output of
the equipment, damage to the equipment will be done if the base station transmitter is then keyed.
Ensure that connections are kept clean and are fully tightened.
4.3.1. Termination of Unused Ports
In the event that any RF ports are unused (available for future expansion) these ports must be kept
terminated with the load terminations supplied by Axell for that purpose
Ensure that connections are kept clean and are fully tightened.
