INCORRECT TERMINATION OF SUPPLY WIRES MAY CAUSE
INTERNAL DAMAGE AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. TO
ENSURE THAT YOUR 415U-BSR BASE STATION REPEATER ENJOYS
A LONG LIFE, CHECK THIS USER MANUAL TO VERIFY THAT ALL
CONNECTIONS ARE TERMINATED CORRECTLY BEFORETURNING
ON POWER FOR THE FIRST TIME.
Avoid
•Operating the transmitter unless all RF
Connectors are secure and any open connectors
are properlyterminated.
•Operating the equipment near electrical blasting
caps or inan explosive atmosphere
Note: All equipment must be properly grounded for safe
operation. All equipment should be serviced only by a qualified
technician.
Installation
To achieve the best performance from your 415U-BSR,
installation should follow accepted best practice. Install
the 415U-BSR according to the figure on the following
page. Take note of the followingpoints.
•Each repeater should be powered by an independent
power supply of 2.5A 12V or 24V nominal. For
maximum reliability these should incorporate.
independent battery backup.
•Surge arrestors should be fitted to provide effective
protection from Lightning damage. Surge arrestors
should have a turn-on voltage of 90V. Recommended
part ELPRO CSD-N-6000.
•An Ethernet Switch provides connection to the two
internal repeaters and to the base Computer. For
maximum reliability, choose an Ethernet Switch with
dual supply capacity, and supply from each of the two
independent supplies. Recommended part ELPRO EL-
1050-E-T.
•Antennas should be mounted one above the other.
They should be separated by at least 1m vertically,
and at least 1m from the mast and or any other local
obstructions. (Mounting antennas at the same level is
acceptable, but could impact performance in cases
where both repeaters are active)
•Take care when running RF coaxial cable to observe
minimum bending radius and to not crush the cable
when restraining.
•Connections between the antenna and the coaxial
cable should be carefully taped to prevent ingress of
moisture. We recommend that the connection be
taped—first with a layer of PVC tape, next with
vulcanizing tape (such as 3M™ 23 tape), and finally
with another layer of PVC UV-stabilized insulating
tape. The first layer oftape allows the joint to be
easily inspected when troubleshooting because the
vulcanizing seal can be easily removed.
