User's Manual

• Connect Cell Extender output Tx/Rx and Rx ports (Bias-T blocks with DIN
connectors located on the connectors plate inside of the main cabinet) with Tx/Rx
and Rx ports of Main Lines of the proper sector using two DIN-DIN jumpers.
AC Connection
• 20A Breakers must be installed in the main electrical box (or A-box).
• 3-conductor AC-wire gage 12-14 must be run through metal conduit to the
electrical junction box inside of the CCI Cell Extender cabinet. The entry point to
this junction box is from the bottom of the cabinet via a corrugated shield.
• Run a standard 6 gauge grounding wire from the site’s main grounding bar
(Bus-bar in the A-box) to the CCI Cell Extender cabinet and secure it to the
electrical junction box inside the cabinet.
• Run Alarm cable through 1” conduit to the alarm card in BTS. Site technician
will make actual connection.
• Install the batteries:
a. Place the batteries in the bottom of the cabinet
b. Use the short jumper to connect the positive terminal of one battery to the
negative terminal of the other battery.
c. Cover the battery terminals with the supplied terminal boots.

Setting the RF Output Power on the CE-1819-125MC-XXXxX Cell Extender
The RF output power is adjustable on the Cell Extender. Use Gain Control Block that
contains a set of the input signal attenuators. The user must adjust the RF input power to
the Cell Extender connecting the proper pad such that the combined RF output power
level of any number of the individual carriers does not exceed the levels shown below in
order for the RF output spectral emissions to be compliant with the FCC spurious
emissions limit of -13 dBm outside of the assigned frequency block. These levels must
not exceed
