4. Slide the two mounting bracket on to the mounting tube, tighten the center mounting screws hand tight when the brackets
are within 2 inches of the top and bottom of the mounting tube. When the assembly is mounted to the wall surface, make
certain the center-mounting hole of the mounting tube is facing outward.
5. Mark the wall surface through the four holes of the mounting brackets.
6. Drill the holes for the mounting brackets and use masonry fasteners, self-tapping screws or bolts to mount the mounting
brackets and tube to the wall surface.
7. Attach one end of the RF Coaxial cable with the N connectors to the antenna.
8. Slide the cable through the mounting tube and push the antenna into the top of the tube until the locking threaded hole in
the antenna base lines up with the mounting tube hole.
9. Drop the antenna cable through either the roof, or wall penetration into the area below the roofline. Seal all penetrations with
either a mechanical device or with some form of silicon sealer.
10. Place the 10 mm hex bolt through the mounting tube hole, with the lock washer and tighten the assembly together.
11. Drill holes or Velcro tape and mount the booster (ITEM 1) in the selected location.
12. Place the interior antenna as central to the building as possible.
13. Place the antenna on a metal sheet 24 inches by 24 inches or larger on a shelf or any other flat dry surface for a good
ground plane. Make sure that the inside antenna is at least eight (8) feet or more below
the external antenna in a vertical
measurement with a solid roof, ceiling or other separating structure. Never attempt to install the Interior antenna in the same
horizontal plane as the external antenna. Make sure that the internal antenna is not in line of sight of windows, as this could
result in feedback from the external and internal antenna signals mixing.
14. Connect the external coaxial antenna cable to the “External Antenna” connection on the booster case marked “exterior
antenna” This will be on the side with no power LED light or power input.
15. Connect the inside antenna to the “Interior Antenna” connection on the side of the booster case that has the power LED
light and power input.
16. Insert the 2.5 x 5.5 mm power plug from the power supply (ITEM 4) into the booster input next to the power LED light.
17. Insert the power supply to wall 120 VAC power.
18. Makes sure that the power light comes on. Your installation is now complete.
Section # 6 TROUBLESHOOTING
∇ If the booster ever feels warm, it is because it is oscillation from incorrectly placed antennas
∇ If there are any doubts as to the booster’s performance, place an ammeter on one of the power supply cables. Separate the
two cables with your fingers and connect either one to a DC ammeter on the 1 amp range. Make sure the current draw is
less than 400 milli amperes. Anything above, 500+ means the unit is in oscillation and should be shut down immediately.
∇ If the booster is drawing less than 400 milli amperes, and there is still no boost in the area, the external antenna is not
connected, or the cable has an open connection.
Section # 7 Optional Interior, Exterior Antennas, and Splitters
If you have fluctuations in signal strength that appear on your PCS/cellular phone, it may be a sign of weak exterior
signal to the booster. You may also have other areas in a building that are not reached by the standard interior
antenna. In these instances, Cyfre offers custom interior and exterior antennas, and splitters to allow the use of
multiple interior antennas.
1. Cyfre offers a two way and a four-way splitter for the interior to allow the use of two or four interior
antennas. These extra interior antennas allow feeds into remote locations in a building and spread the
signal correctly to those areas. Using any product other than the Cyfre supplied splitters and interior
antennas or cable will void the warranty. The splitters have been designed for a specific very low loss
and impedance to work with the booster. If you try any other splitters, we cannot guarantee the units will
work, and they may damage the booster, which would be out of warranty damage.
2. The splitter must be mounted directly on the booster on the inside terminal. The multiple antenna wires
must then be connected to the splitter.
3. Cyfre also offers special higher gain exterior and Yagi style antennas for maximum gain in a remote area.
