instructions for the CY FR series.
EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
WORD DEFINITION
WARNING Personal injury, re hazard or electric
shock may occur.
CAUTION Equipment damage may occur.
NOTE If disregarded, inconvenience only.
No risk of personal injury, re or
electric shock.
PRECAUTION
WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER
attach an antenna or internal antenna connector
during transmission. This may result in an
electrical shock or burn.
WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER
install the antenna at any place that person touch
the antenna easily during transmission. This may
result in an electrical shock or burn.
NEVER apply AC to the [BATTERY] terminals
on the repeater rear panel. This could cause a
re or damage the repeater.
NEVER apply more than 16 V DC, such as a
24 V battery, to the [BATTERY] terminals on the
repeater rear panel. This could cause a re or
damage the repeater.
NEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch
any internal part or connectors on the rear panel
of the repeater. This may result in an electric
shock.
NEVER expose the repeater to rain, snow or
any liquids.
AVOID using or placing the repeater in areas
with temperatures below –30°C (–22°F) or above
+60°C (+140°F). Be aware that temperatures
on a vehicle’s dashboard can exceed 80°C
(+176°F), resulting in permanent damage to the
repeater if left there for extended periods.
AVOID placing the repeater in excessively dusty
environments or in direct sunlight.
AVOID putting anything on top of the repeater.
This will obstruct airow.
Place the repeater in a secure place to avoid
inadvertent use by children.
BE CAREFUL! The heatsink will become hot
when operating the repeater continuously for long
periods.
BE CAREFUL! If a linear amplier is
connected, set the repeater’s RF output power
to less than the linear amplier’s maximum
input level, otherwise, the linear amplier will be
damaged.
Use Icom microphones only. Other
manufacturer’s microphones have different pin
assignments, and connection to the CY FR series
may damage the repeater.
For U.S.A. only
CAUTION: This repeater is intended for use
as a xed repeater with the antenna located
outdoors on the rooftop or on antenna tower.

2INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
■ Unpacking
After unpacking, immediately report any damage
to the delivering carrier or dealer. Keep the
shipping cartons.
For a description and a diagram of accessory
equipment included with the CY FR series, see
‘Supplied accessories’ of this manual.
■ Selecting a location
Select a location for the repeater that allows
adequate air circulation, free from extreme
heat, cold, or vibrations, and away from TV
sets, TV antenna elements, radios and other
electromagnetic sources.
■ Antenna connection
For radio communications, the antenna is of
critical importance, along with output power and
sensitivity. Select antenna(s), such as a well-
matched 50 Ωantenna, and feedline. 1.5:1 or
better of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR)
is recommended for desired band. Of course, the
transmission line should be a coaxial cable.
CAUTION: Protect repeater from lightning
by using a lightning arrestor.
NOTE: There are many publications
covering proper antennas and their
installation. Check with your local dealer for
more information and recommendations.
■ Duplexer
A duplexer is separately required when only
one antenna is used for both transmitting and
receiving. Select a duplexer according to the
transmitting and receiving frequencies. Ask your
Dealer for details.
■ Grounding
To prevent electrical shock, television interference
(TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other
problems, ground the transceiver through the
[GND] terminal on the rear panel.
For best results, connect a 2-gauge wire to an
8-foot long earth-sunk copper rod. Make the
distance between the [GND] terminal and ground
as short as possible.
WARNING: NEVER connect the
[GND] terminal to a gas or electric pipe,
since the connection could cause an
explosion or electric shock.
TYPE-N CONNECTOR INSTALLATION EXAMPLE
Slide the nut, at washer, rubber gasket and clamp over the coaxial
cable, then cut the end of the cable evenly.
Strip the cable and fold the braid back over the clamp.
Soft solder the center conductor. Install the center conductor pin and
solder it.
Carefully slide the plug body into place aligning the center conductor
pin on the cable. Tighten the nut onto the plug body.

■ Required Connections
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 2
[DC POWER INPUT TERMINAL]
Make sure the back up battery is correctly
connected. Use a cable with following
current capacity. Solder or clamp the cable
plug when connecting the power cable to the
backup battery to prevent voltage drops.
Power cable current capacity: 25 A or more
[TX(TX•RX) ANT] [RX ANT] GROUND
5
NOTE: Must have minimum 20’ vertical separation when using separate antennas.
TX•RX antenna required
for installing an internal
duplexer.

Make sure the AC [POWER] switch is turned
OFF when connecting an AC power cable or a
backup battery (emergency power supply).
The CY FR series can operate with either an AC
or DC input. If AC power is interrupted and there
is an external DC source (emergency power
supply), the Repeater will continue to operate
until the DC source is exhausted.
NOTE: IF turning the Repeater OFF using
the rear panel switch, wait a few seconds
before turning it back ON. Otherwise, Logic
circuits may not sense the transition. The
AC Power switch does not effect the DC
supply. If Repeater is operating on DC, you
must use the power switch(s) on the Radio.
 In AC operation
• Use the supplied AC power cable for
connection to a domestic AC outlet.
• Extension cords should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Using improper
extension cords could result in re risk.
• An International AC power cable is available.
The internal AC power supply is jumper
selectable between 120Vac and 220Vac .
 In DC operation
CAUTION: Voltages greater than 16 VDC
will damage the repeater. Check the source
voltage before connecting the power cable.
• DO NOT place the backup battery on or near
the repeater. Lead-acid batteries should be
placed at least 5 m (16.4 ft.) away from the
repeater. Use a heavy duty cable to make
the connection and be sure both the positive
(red) and negative (black) terminals are
correctly connected.
• When connecting to the battery, connect
the DC power cable to the repeater rst, then
the positive (red) terminal and negative
(black) terminal to the battery. This is to
prevent an electric shock or circuit damage.

OPTIONAL PRESELECTOROPTIONAL DUPLEXER
➀Remove 3 screws from the top of the repeater, 4 screws from the sides and 4 screws from the
top of the front Panel, then lift up the top cover.
CAUTION: Disconnect theAC power cable
and/or DC power cable from the repeater.
Otherwise, there is danger of electric shock
and/or equipment damage.

4OPERATION
■ Turning power ON
➀ On rear panel, toggle AC Power Switch up to
turn AC power ON.
■ Receiving and transmitting
 Receiving
➀ When receiving a signal, RX indicator turns
ON. No audio is output from the repeater.
A subscriber unit will be required to hear
the audio.
 Transmitting for Local Control
➀ Take the microphone off hook.
➁ Wait for the channel to become clear.
➂ Push and hold [PTT] to transmit, then
speak into the microphone at your normal
voice level.
➃ Release [PTT] to receive.
IMPORTANT:
To maximize the readability of the transmitted
signal:
➀ Pause briey after pushing [PTT].
➁Hold the microphone 1 to 2 inch (2.5 to
5 cm) from your mouth, then speak into
the microphone at a normal voice level.

■ Fuse replacement
If a fuse blows or the repeater stops functioning,
try to nd the source of the problem, and replace
the damaged fuse with a new, rated fuse.
