After installing the mounting bracket, hang the repeater on the upper supports, as illustrated
in Figure 3-5. Tighten the upper and lower mounting screws to secure it into place. Locking
cylinders, used to prevent unauthorized removal of the repeater, can be inserted and locked
with a key after the lower screws have been tightened. Make sure the donor antenna,
directed towards the BTS antenna, and the service antenna, directed towards the area to be
covered by the repeater, are mounted and installed properly.

Connections
This section describes general examples of how to connect the input and output ports on the
following repeater types:
• RF to RF repeaters
• BMU (RF to fiber optics)
• RMU (RF to fiber optics)
• FOR (fiber optics to RF)
Main Power and Grounding
Local regulations need to be followed for the main power connection. AR repeaters are
approved in accordance with EN and UL/cUL regulations. This is, however, only valid if a
classified power cord is used. For the repeater to meet these regulations you must 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. Do
not turn the main power on until you are ready to commission the repeater
WARNING: For repeaters supplied from the main power source, the main outlet must be grounded.
