General Safety Warning
Always observe standard safety precautions during installation, operation
and maintenance of this product. Only qualified and authorized personnel
should carry out adjustment, maintenance or repairs to the components of
this system.
DANGER:ELECTRICAL SHOCK
The power supply unit contains dangerous voltage that can cause electric
shock. Disconnect the mains prior to any work in the Repeater. Any local
regulations are to be followed when servicing Repeaters.
This equipment is usually installed indoors. Wet conditions increase the
potential for receiving an electric shock when installing or using
electrically powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock when
installing or modifying the system power wiring, disconnect the wiring at
the power source before working with insinuated wires or terminals.
Repeaters supplied from the mains must be connected to grounded outlets
and in conformity with any local regulations.
CAUTION:HIGH GROUND
When working on a Repeater on high ground, e.g. on a mast or pole, be
careful not to drop parts or the entire Repeater. Falling parts can cause
serious personal injury.
CAUTION:COAX CABLE BENDING
Allow sufficient coa cable length to permit routing of patch cords or
pigtails without severe bends.
CAUTION:RADIATION
Any Repeater, including this Repeater, will generate radio signals and
thereby give rise to electromagnetic fields that may be hazardous to the
health of any person who is e tensively e posed to the signals at the
immediate pro imity of the Repeater and the Repeater antennas.

CELLVINE LTD. BDA-AWS21-26-4UT-AB-JXX
BDA-AWS21-26-4UT-AB-JXX Rev 1.06 2009-05
CAUTION:STATIC ELECTRICITY
Static electricity means no risk of personal injury but it can severely
damage essential parts of the Repeater, if not handled carefully.
Parts on the printed circuit board as well as other parts in the Repeater
are sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
Never touch the printed circuit board or uninsulated conductor surfaces
unless absolutely necessary.
If you must handle the printed circuit board or uninsulated conductor
surfaces, use ESD protective equipment, or first touch the Repeater
chassis with your hand and then do not move your feet on the floor.
Never let your clothes touch printed circuit boards or uninsulated
conductor surfaces.
Always, store printed circuit boards in ESD-safe bags.

1. Introduction
1.1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The goal of the Repeater system is to improve coverage for T-MOBILE AWS
(1710-1755MHz, 2110-2155 MHz) in medium size indoor areas of up to
50,000 sq. ft.
Figure 1-1: BDA-AWS21-26-4UT-AB-JXX Repeater
The system implements BDA technology to enhance coverage in urban
areas. Repeaters are used to fill out uncovered areas in cellular mobile
systems, such as base station fringe areas, road tunnels, business and
industrial buildings, etc. A Repeater receives signals from a base station,
amplifies the signals and retransmits them to service area. It also receives,
amplifies and retransmits signals in the opposite direction. Both directions
are served simultaneously.
In order to receive and transmit signals in both directions, the Repeater is
connected to a donor antenna directed towards the base station and to a
service antenna directed towards the area to be covered.
Control of the Repeaters is performed using a desktop or laptop computer
equipped with standard browser (no special software) which can
communicate with the Repeaters, either locally or remotely via modem
(optional).

3. Installation
This section provides information for the installation and setup of the
Cellvine Repeaters.
The information consists of procedures for unpacking, inspection and
preparation for the installation, as well as the actual installation and the
setup. It is important that the Repeater will be installed correctly at its
working location. It is recommended that installation be done by a certified
radio technician.
The Repeater installation consists of five basic steps:
(1) Unpacking and inspection
(2) Antenna installation
(3) Repeater installation
(4) Cable installation
(5) Repeater parameters Set-Up and tuning with Control application.
3.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
E amine the shipping package for damage before unpacking the unit. If the
shipping package is damaged, try to have the carrier’s agent present when
the equipment is unpacked. If visual inspection reveals physical damage(s)
to the equipment, you should send it back for replacement.
Verify that the equipment includes all components, as listed under packing
slip. Contact Cellvine Ltd. if you find missing components.

3.2 OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Cellvine's indoor Repeaters are intended for installation indoors only.
Do not install them where they might be e posed to direct sunlight and
rain\snow conditions as this could be harmful to the unit. For normal
operation, the environmental conditions should be as follows:
Ambient temperature range: –20 °C to +60 °C, Ma imum Humidity: 90 %.
3.3 PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION
Before beginning the Repeater installation determine the following:
oBase station location and receiving power ( T power in dBm )
oLocation where the DONOR/ Service antenna is to be installed
oLocation where the Repeater is to be installed
oLength of coa ial cable needed to connect from the Donor antenna
to the Repeater unit
oLength of coa ial cable needed to connect from the Repeater unit
to the indoor antenna/s.
oIsolation estimation between the donor and the coverage antenna/s.
3.4 ANTENNAS INSTALLATION
3.4.1 Coverage (Service) Antennas
Coverage (service) antennas are facing to the service area. The mostly used
Antennas for indoor applications are Omni or panel antennas. When
multiple indoor areas need coverage, more than one antenna can be used.
The indoor antennas are usually placed near the ceiling with decorative
covers, antenna location decisions take into account isolation issues and
overcoming interfering signals. For outdoor coverage, panel antennas are
commonly used, location of the antenna is defined by coverage and isolation
matter.

3.4.2 DONOR Antenna
DONOR antenna is installed outside, facing to the donor BTS. The donor
cell site should be chosen by considering capacity, range and signal level in
the outdoor antenna location. The location should be chosen so that the
donor cell site will be received at a higher level than all other adjacent cell
sites. If possible this antenna should be faced directly to the nearest cellular
site with a line of sight view. This antenna should also be properly
grounded with an appropriate grounding strap and lightning protection if
needed. Install the antenna according to antenna manufacturer
instructions.
