Chapter 6: Sentry Conguration
This tool will identify the optimum location for the outdoor antenna. To test for the best location, the booster and
outside antenna must be connected by coax cable. Place the antenna in a position you’d like to test and click on the
measure button.
The “Position” elds will automatically populate with the dB measurement from various locations by clicking on the
measure button at each possible location. You can test up to 5 positions. Once you have entered all locations, click
on the “Compare” button to nd the best location. Keep in mind that a signal of less than -65 dB can over-power the
booster.
6.7 Over Power Alert
If Red=ON, it means the input signal is too strong. Here are four possible solutions to try:
1. Relocate the outdoor antenna to a location where the signal is weaker. Or, If using a Yagi outside antenna, turn in
small increments away from cell tower until Red alert is resolved.
2. Add an inline 5 dB or 10 dB attenuator (parts: SC-ATNR-5 and SC-ATNR-10) to the cable coming into the booster.
3. Lower the dB gain in small increments on the Sentry booster dashboard under the Attenuation column until the
Over Power alert is resolved.
4. Manually adjust the attenuation or turn off a single band to mitigate oscillation and over-power issues.
