Only for in-buil ing applications
One must be aware that FCC regulation man ate that this repeater is to be use only for
in-buil ing applications an thus fee passive or active DAS (Distribute Antenna
Systems) accor ingly.
FCC RF Exposure Limits
This unit complies with FCC RF exposure limits for an uncontrolle environment. This
equipment can only be installe in in-buil ing applications, riving passive or active DAS
systems. All antennas must be operate at a minimum istance of 35 cm between the
ra iator an any person’s bo y.
Antenna Installation
Installation of an antenna must comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements. The
antenna use for this transmitter must be mounte on permanent structures.
The FCC regulation man ate that the EIRP of type B signal boosters shoul not excee
5W.
Therefore the max antenna gain allowe for this type of signal booster shoul be limite
to the values given by equation (1) for the service antenna an equation (2) for the onor
antenna
Equation (1) - Max SERVICE antenna gain
Max SERVICE antenna gain (dBi) = 37dBm[EIRP] – (33dbi – 10log(N)(dB) – cable loss in dB).
For example:
No. of Antennas Cable Losses Max Allowed Antenna Gain
4 2 37 - (33+6-2) = 0 B
1 2 37- (33+0-2) = 6 B
10 2 37- (33+10-2) = -2 B
Note :0 B = 2.15 Bi
Equation (2) - Max DONOR antenna gain
Max DONOR antenna gain (dBi) = 37 – (27dbi - cable losses in dbi).

Compliance with FCC eployment rule regar ing the ra iation of noise
Goo engineering practice must be use in regar to the signal booster’s noise ra iation.
Thus, the gain of the signal booster shoul be set so that the EIRP of the output noise
from the signal booster shoul not excee the level of -43 Bm in 10 kHz measurement
ban wi th.
In the event that the noise level measure excee s the aforementione value, the signal
booster gain shoul be ecrease accor ingly.
In general, the ERP of noise on a spectrum more than 1 MHz outsi e of the pass ban
shoul not excee -70 Bm in a 10 kHz measurement ban wi th.
The 3308 signal booster has a noise level of -43 Bm in 10 kHz measurement at 1 MHz
spectrum outsi e the passban of the signal booster an an in-band noise level at aroun
-37 Bm in a 10 kHz ban wi th. Therefore, the noise at the antenna input port shoul be
calculate base on equation (3).
Equation (3) - Input Noise to service antenna
Input Noise to service antenna:
-43 dBm + Service Antenna gain – Antenna splitter losses in dBi – cable loss in dB
Example:
Signal booster connecte to 10 service antennas with a 100m long ½ inch cable.
•Losses of such a cable with the connectors = ~ 11 B
•Gain = ~ 2 Bi
Assuming 10 service antennas: antenna splitter losses = 11 B
Base on equation (3) Input antenna noise (to the antenna) = -43+2-11 -11=-63 Bm
The inban input noise to the antenna shoul be -37+2 -11-11= -57 bm
NOTE: In this example you may be required in general to add an external bandpass filter that would
attenuate by additional 7 dB the out of band noise.
Conclusion:
Goo engineering practice requires that in general when the out of ban noise measure
at the service antenna input is more than -70 bm per 10 kHz measurement ban wi th,
an external ban pass filter shoul be a e to attenuate the out of ban noise level.
Compliance with IC
Un er In ustry Cana a regulations, this ra io transmitter may only operate using an
antenna of a type an maximum (or lesser) gain approve for the transmitter by In ustry
Cana a. To re uce potential ra io interference to other users, the antenna type an its
gain shoul be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically ra iate power (e.i.r.p.) is not
more than that necessary for successful communication.
The Manufacturer's rate output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation.
For situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating woul have to be
re uce by 3.5 B, especially where the output signal is re-ra iate an can cause
interference to a jacent ban users. This power re uction is to be by means of input
power or gain re uction an not by an attenuator at the output of the evice.

This equipment complies with IC RSS-102 ra iation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolle environment. This equipment shoul be installe an operate with minimum
istance of 35 cm between the antenna an your bo y.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour
l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. ans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son
gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas
l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
La puissance de sortie nominale indiquée par le fabricant pour cet appareil concerne son
fonctionnement avec porteuse unique. Pour des appareils avec porteuses multiples, on
doit réduire la valeur nominale de 3.5dB, surtout si le signal de sortie est retransmis et
qu'il peut causer du brouillage aux utilisateurs de bandes adjacentes. Une telle réduction
doit porter sur la puissance d'entrée ou sur le gain, et ne doit pas se faire au moyen d'un
atténuateur raccordé à la sortie du dispositif.
Cet appareil est conforme aux limitations de la norme IC RSS-102 concernant l’exposition
aux radiations dans un environnement non contrôlé. Cet appareil doit être installé et
utilisé avec une distance minimale de 30 cm entre l’antenne et le corps de l’utilisateur.

To meet the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requirements, power to the
Repeater is provi e via a UPS an the status of the UPS, Repeater an DAS system
(antennas) is monitore via alarm connections to the Fire Department Control Box.
NOTE: An alternative to the Fire Department Control Box connections is to connect the D-MBR PS
NFPA and UPS dry contact alarms to an Automatic Dialer. Axell Wireless recommends the AD-2000
Automatic Voice/Pager Dialer System.
The alarms are connecte as follows:
•From the UPS - the power in icator alarms are connecte irectly to the Fire
Department Control Box.
•From the Repeater – the Repeater status an antenna status alarms are connecte
to the Control Box

1.4 Smart-ALC Function
The Repeater’s power amplifier inclu es power-monitoring circuits with Automatic Level
Control (ALC) that prevents excessive output power while maintaining the power amplifier
linearity
The Smart Automatic Level Control (Smart-ALC) is an innovative algorithm for automatic
Repeater gain a justment. Combine with a vance control algorithms, S-ALC is capable
of learning the traffic loa characteristics an a justing the Repeater RF Gain to the
esire value. Smart-ALC effectively re uces isolation problems.
NOTE: To reset the Repeater to its highest set gain value, disconnect the Repeater power cable for
several seconds and re-connect.
