SECTION 2. INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
The following checks are recommended after receipt of the equipment from shipping agent:
1. Check for any external damage that could have occurred in transit. If damage is found, report
to the shipping agent and to the supplier immediately.
2. Check that all items on the packing slip are present. If any are missing, report to the supplier
immediately.
2.2 INSTALLATION
The Repeater is designed for mounting on a flat surface. The unit can be mounted in any orientation as
desired although it is practical to select a mounting position which allows the indicators to be seen.
Proceed as follows:
1. Locate a suitable mounting location, allow a clearance of at least 5 inches (13 cm) to route
mating cable and connectors to the unit. Drill four pilot holes on a 8.4 x 8 inch center for No.10
fasteners.
2. Connect J2, "BASE ANTENNA" to the cable leading to the base antenna.
3. Connect J1, "DISTRIBUTION ANTENNA" to the cable leading to the distribution antenna(s).
4. Connect the external DC power source to the DC input. The unit may be powered by DC
voltages in the range of 15-32 V. The unit is typically powered with the P.G. Electronics PS217
18 VDC adapter.
2.3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The R231 PCS Repeater has no internal or external controls. When powered the unit will amplify
signals in both the uplink and downlink bands.
When the green light is on, bias conditions of active devices in the RF paths are within specifications.
The red light goes on whenever any active device in the RF path has failed. Corrective action is to
service the amplifier.
