User's Manual

CAUTION: The repeater should only be connected to a battery supply that is in accordance
with the applicable electrical codes for the end use country; for example, the National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 in the U.S.
10.1.4.5
RF Antenna Connections
The transmit and receive antenna RF connections are made using two separate connectors in the
standard unit. Duplexer and antenna switch accessories are also available to allow duplexed, half
duplexed, or simplex single antenna operation. Coax cables from the receive and transmit antennas
must be connected to their respective connectors. The position of these connectors are shown in
Figure 2: SLR 1000 Repeater Left View
on page 34 and Figure 3: SLR 1000 Repeater Right View on
page 34 , and their respective connector types are noted in Table 2: SLR 1000 Repeater Left View
Callout Legend on page 34 and Table 3: SLR 1000 Repeater Right View Callout Legend on page 34.
In addition, an integrated compact antenna accessory is available to facilitate mounting the antenna
directly on the unit. If the duplexer or antenna switch accessories are not used, external antennas are
required. Additionally, because the antenna is mounted directly to the repeater, it is not recommended
to use the integrated antenna in applications where a direct lightning strike to the unit could occur as
significant damage to the repeater and/or connected equipment could occur. Consult R56 manual for
details and necessary provisions for surge protection on RF cable and antennas.
10.1.4.6
System Cable Connections
System connections are made through the Aux and/or Ethernet connectors on the bottom panel of the
repeater. The positions of the Aux and Ethernet connectors are shown in Figure 12: SLR 1000
Repeater Bottom Panel Connector Names and Locations on page 53.
See Auxiliary (Aux)/Accessory on page 55 for a description of the signaling that is supported by the
Aux connector.

Equipment Mounting Methods
The SLR 1000 Repeater may be mounted on a wall, ceiling, or pole.
10.1.6
Site Grounding and Lightning Protection
CAUTION: Proper site grounding and lightning protection are vitally important considerations.
Failure to provide proper lightning protection may result in permanent damage to the radio
equipment.
One of the most important considerations when designing a communications site is the ground and
lightning protection system. While proper grounding techniques and lightning protection are closely
related, the general category of site grounding may be divided into the following sections.
