Connection
This section describes how to connect the input and output ports of the
repeater types:
AR repeaters (except for high power CDMA/WCDMA) ................ page 2-8
High power CDMA/WCDMA .................................................................... 2-9
BMU ............................................................................................................. 2-10
RMU ............................................................................................................. 2-11
FOR .............................................................................................................. 2-12
Common important instructions for the repeater types are found below.
Station ground
There is a screw to the left in the repeater that is intended for station
ground only. This screw is marked with the ground symbol.
Mains connection
Note that local regulations are to be followed for the mains connection.
The AR repeater is approved in accordance with EN and UL/cUL
regulations. This is, however, only valid if a classified power cord is used.
To get the repeater to meet these regulations, select one of the following
classified and approved cord types:
• EN- H 05 W5 - F HMR.
• UL- AWM Style 2587.
• CSA - AWM 1 A/B 11 A/B.
For outdoor use the power cord should meet at least IP65 encapsulation
requirements.
For repeaters supplied from the mains, the mains outlet must be grounded.
The mains connection described on the following pages means to mount
the mains plug to the mains cord (if to be used) but it does not mean to
connect the mains.
Do not turn the mains on until you are commissioning the repeater (see
Chapter 4, Commissioning, in the AR Repeaters, User’s Manual).
RCU and RCC remote control units
All AR repeaters can be equipped with an RCU, Remote Control Unit.
The GSM antenna for this unit is internally connected in the repeater.
If the RCU is removed, then the jumper between pin 2 and 3 on the P27
port must be reconnected. Do not connect the jumper to another position
than between pin 2 and 3 on the P27 port.
An RCC, Remote Communication Control unit, is required if the unit is to
be connected to a FON board (the FON board does not support the RCU).
A description of the RCC and its connection is found in the VD203 67/EN,
ALR Compact Repeater, User’s Manual. The RCU and RCC are described
in Chapter 6, Optionals, in the AR Repeaters, User’s Manual.
