3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Outdoor Installation
 Please inspect the outdoor environment in order to identify the best environment for the installation
of the he repeater system and antennas.
 DO NOT physically mount any equipment at this moment.
 The donor antenna should be located in the area with the strongest signal reception and away from
any barriers, such as hills and mountains, high buildings or signboards.
 You can use WEB GUI information to measure received strength signal intensity.
 An ideal location should have outdoor signal strength greater than -80dBm.
 You also may use a mobile phone, spectrum analyzer to get a strength value if they are available.
 Ideally, the donor antenna should face the base station of the operator of the signal that is intended
to amplify.
 Depending on the application and the environment, the donor antenna used can be a directional or
panel. (Please contact administrator for optional accessories).
 Please note that the antenna isolation between the donor antenna and the service antennas.
 In order to avoid repeater oscillation, the isolation should be at least 15dB more than the gain of the
repeater. For PSR, the isolation should be at least 110dB if PSR is set to the maximum gain value (95dB).
 PSR comes with IP66 housing; therefore the repeater unit is capable to be located both indoor and
outdoor. If it is to be located outdoor, it should be installed in a shaded area and avoid direct contact
with the sun. Also make sure if AC power plug is available and near to the repeater unit.
3.2 Indoor Installation
 Especially for the installation process of the indoor coverage, please determine the number of the
service antennas that will be required by calculating the required indoor coverage area, the building
construction and the signal path loss.
 For the best performance, service antennas should be installed on the ceiling or on the wall at least
two meters from the floor.
 Installation on the wall may however obstruct the signal and shorten the signal range. Ideally, the
service antennas should be placed central to the area that requires coverage.
3.3 Cable Installation Planning
 Plan the installation of the cable considering the locations of the donor antenna, PSR and service
antennas.
 7/8” or 1/2” cable is recommended for your installation, and please ensure that the cable has been
equipped with appropriate connectors.
