User Manual Preface This user’s manual describes the installation, commissioning and maintenance of wide band consumer repeaters of LTE700+CDMA/GSM850+ PCS/GSM1900+AWS five systems. Please do read user manual carefully before installing and maintaining the repeaters. The information in this manual is subject to change without prior notice. Opinions are welcomed about the manual improvement. 1.
User Manual Below diagram shows how simple and fast the repeater system is installed and works effectively: One Yagi antenna, as donor antenna, is installed at the top of the roof to pick up good mobile phone signals from outside, and send through 5D-FB cable to repeater to amplify the signals significantly, then the output signals are sent to the indoor omni antennas and finally transmitted into the covering area. Very clear phone call or high speed mobile data are immediately achieved within the area.
User Manual module, both uplink and downlink one for all). Auto automatic gain control to stabilize the coverage and minimize the noises. 3.2.
User Manual 4. Block diagram and work principle The repeater is basically a bi-directional amplifier, the downlink signals are received by the repeater from cell tower by the donor antenna, filtered by its internal duplexers and FC unit, amplified by low noise amplifier (LNA) and downlink PA unit, and then sent via the server antenna to the area to improve mobile signals for mobile phones.

User Manual 5. Recommended booster antenna kitting 5.1. Recommended donor/outdoor antenna Function: Pick up donor signals from the cell tower and send to the repeater by cable; the power level and quality of the received signals influence a lot on the coverage effect. Donor antenna also transmits the uplink signals from the repeater to cell tower. Log Periodic Antenna This is a wideband directional antenna with high gain.
User Manual The outdoor panel Antenna The outdoor panel antenna is also a directional antenna with 120 degree coverage. It’s the wide range type that could pick up the signal from multi carriers. This antenna should be installed in a vertical position and face to the BTS tower for better reception. 5.2.

User Manual 7. Installation The repeaters should be used to cover the indoor area. Humidity and temperature of working environment can affect the reliability of repeater. So, temperature, humidity, dust, interference, power, space requirements and other factors should be considered during installation of repeater. 7.1. Installation Location Requirement 1) It is appreciated that the repeater is installed in a cool, dry and ventilated room without erosive gas and smoke and without leakage on its proof.
User Manual 7.4. Installation of donor antenna The repeater’s main function is to improve weak RF signals of an area. A simple formula: Input power+ Gain= Output power. The signal strength from the outdoor antenna directly affects the efficiency of the indoor coverage. It is very important to choose the donor antenna location in order to get the best signals.
User Manual The wide band repeater supports all mobile operators or different mobile systems, so please adjust the donor antenna direction to have balance between signals of different mobile operators or various mobile systems. Donor antenna installation ---Notes: Do not install the donor antenna during the rainy day with lightning. Please follow the instructions to install the donor antenna. It is a must that the waterproof shall be done to connectors of donor antenna and feeder lines.
User Manual If isolation can’t be achieved by the limited distance, the roof of the building or any other barriers can be used in between to increase isolation.
User Manual Test the call quality of donor antenna (for professional installation team only) Fix the donor antenna after selecting the best position, and adjust slightly its height or angles in order to get the signals with suitable input power level and calling quality.
User Manual 7.5. Cable layout and connector assembly 1) Keep the type, specifications, routing direction, location, and curvature radius of cables in compliance with the design requirement. Place cables in good order, bend them smoothly, and protect the outer skin against any damage. 2) Bind cables in good order when laying them on cable racks. When leading cables in or out of troughs, use a hole-opener to open cable troughs and then install PVC lock-nuts to protect them.
User Manual 7.6. Indoor antenna installation Proper antennas shall be selected according to the site conditions and the requirement. And more than one antenna can be used with the repeater, especially for repeaters equal with or over 20dBm, and 30dBm can be connected with up to 10 antennas in order to send the signals to larger areas or distribute the signals equally. Please consult our professional engineers about the solution if you want to connect more than one antenna.
User Manual 7.7. Repeater Installation 7.7.1. Installation Steps 10dBm~30dBm shall be installed in indoor areas only 1) Connect the power supply and the cables properly to the repeater ports. 2) Check again to make sure the repeater is installed firmly and repeater alarm LED must stay green. 7.7.2. Repeater’s ports description 1) Outdoor port: connected with the donor antenna by cable. 2) Indoor port: connected with server antenna directly or by cable. 3) DC IN: connected with power supply. 7.7.3.
User Manual Status Definition Green Normal Off DC power problem Status and Definition of ALARM indicator: Status ALARM It is working in linearity Green Note: Input signals may be not enough, please refer to the figures shown in the device. Do not do anything if it is good; otherwise please adjust the repeater system to get better source signal. Green Flickering Orange Flickering Red Flickering It is working with slight oscillation. AGC activate 1~10dB. It is working with medium oscillation.
User Manual 7.8.2. Repeater Commissioning The curve about device working status POutput Power: Output Power Pinput Power: Input Power VATT: Attenuation value of attenuator Pinput Power -VATT: Input Power－Attenuation value of attenuator Pmax: Rate output power Downlink gain setting First the alarm LED only indicates the downlink input power level, here we use color of Alarm LED to adjust the gain of the repeater. Alarm LED color must remain green.
User Manual performance, it is a good working point that Alarm LED maintains “Green” color with the intention of turning orange; here we refer as “edge point”. At this time, downlink output power and coverage effect are stable. And the equipment must be as far as possible away from overloading status of “red” (the equipment would hold higher interference and depression ability at this stage).
User Manual 7.9. System Test 7.9.1. Check whether the coverage is good 1) Have a test with mobile phone or data card (engineering mobile phone is preferred). If the signals in most areas have not been improved, please check below again: The weak input signal leads to the low output power. Change the direction of donor antenna or its installation position or replace donor antenna with higher gain antenna to increase input signal power level.
User Manual Remark: Reduce the attenuation values*---at the same time must ensure the isolation. Increase the output power* ---recommended ways: adjust the donor antenna direction / location, or replace with higher gain antenna to increase input signal strength. 7.9.2. Repeater can not communicate in Power-ON status 1) The power is on but it has a signal fluctuation or a flash signal. The phone call can not be achieved.
