①Repeater ②Power Cable ③User Manual
General Installation
Proper installation can ensure optimum performance and reliability of the repeater, therefore, pre-installation planning
is required. This includes considering the mounting location of the equipment in relation to input power and antenna.
Also to be considered are site environment conditions, the particular mounting method (several available), and the
required tools and equipment.
If this is the first time installing this type of equipment, it is highly recommended to read the following installation
requirements and instructions carefully before beginning the actual installation.

TDR-Series Repeater User Manual
Pre-Installation Overview
The information below is an overview for installing the repeater and auxiliary equipment.
Pay particular attention to environment conditions at the site, ventilation requirements, and grounding and lightning
protection in pre-installation.
Unpack and inspect the equipment.
Mechanically install the equipment at the site.
Make necessary electrical and cabling connections, including the following:
- AC input power cable.
- Connect coaxial cables to TX and RX antenna.
Perform a post-installation function check test of the equipment, to verify proper installation.
Configure parameters (e.g. Working Frequency, PL, Code, Color Code etc.) of the repeater based on user's requirements.
Environmental Conditions at Intended Installation Site
The repeater may be installed in any location suitable for electronic communications equipment, provided that the
environmental conditions do not exceed the equipment specifications for temperature, humidity and air quality.
Operating Temperature Range
-30°C (-22°F) to +60°C (+140°F) – maximum op er atin g temperatures surrounding the repeater (Refers to the
temperature if the repeater is mounted in a cabinet).
Humidity
Levels at or below RH of 95%, non-condensing at 50°C (122°F).
Air Quality
Air quality (rack mount): It is recommended that airborne particulates level to not exceed 90μg/m³ in either a controlled
or uncontrolled environment.
Proper filtrating equipment must be in use if the intended installation environment is dirty, dusty or does not accord
with the requirements of air quality. As the dirt or dust in the internal PCB and module is difficult to clean, and may
cause problems such as overheating, improper electrical connections, etc.

TDR-Series Repeater User Manual
Ventilation Requirements
The repeater is equipped with a cooling fan to provide forced convection cooling. So please comply with the ventilation
requirements below in pre-installation.
Cabinets must be equipped with ventilation slots or openings in the front (for air entry) and back or side panels (for
air to exit). If several repeaters are installed in a single cabinet, ensure ventilation openings surround each repeater
to allow for adequate cooling.
All cabinets must have at least 15cm (6 inch) of open space between the air vents and any wall or other cabinets
to allow for adequate air flow.
When several cabinets (several repeaters in each cabinet) are installed in a closed area, adequate ventilation
must be ensured; also consider any air conditioning or other environmental control devices, to meet the operating
temperature requirements of the equipment.
AC Input Power Requirements
The repeater is equipped with a switching-mode power supply of which the working range is 100 240VAC (47 63Hz
AC input power). A standard power cable is provided to connect the power supply to AC power supply.
A grounded socket-outlet is recommended to connect the AC power supply.
The plug must be connected to the AC power supply which can provide a maximum power of 280W. For nominal
110/120 VAC input, the AC power supply must be with 5A current supply and protected by a circuit breaker with 15A
rated current. For nominal 220/240 VAC input, the AC power supply must be with 3A current supply and protected by
a circuit breaker with 10A rated current.

Device Grounding and Lightning Protection
One of the most important issues to be considered is the grounding and lightning protection system in designing
and designation of the communication site. The repeater is equipped with a ground screw which is on the rear of
the power supply module and used for connecting the repeater to the site ground. Correct grounding and lightning
protection should be made for antenna cable, AC and DC power cables, in accordance with electrical codes, rules
and requirements. If not, permanent damages to the radio equipment may occur.
Correct grounding technology is closely related to lightning protection, and the common types of site grounding are
listed below:
Mounting Methods
The repeater can be mounted in a rack, bracket or cabinet.
Electrical Grounding
The use of a ground cable is used for transferring the current from the site's circuits or devices. This includes the AC
or DC power supply used for site power device, and lines or cables for connecting site alarm or sensor.
RF Grounding
This type involves the grounding of useless RF energy. One example of RF Grounding is to use a shielding object to
avoid or minimize the harmful RF energy from communication devices and cables. The device must be installed in
places which are easily accessible.
Lightning Protection Grounding
Providing adequate lightning protection is vital for ensuring a safe and reliable communication site. RF cables and
AC or DC power cables must be protected in case of a lightning strike that enters the site.
Note: The information supplied in this manual under the Grounding Technology and Lightning Protection section are not of a
explicit manner, therefore, it is recommended that a licensed electrical contractor provide the requirements for proper grounding
and lightning protection required at the communication site.

Mechanical Installation
This section introduces mechanical installation steps of the repeater. Mounting methods vary depending on different
types of rack or cabinet selected for the repeater.
TDR-Series Repeater User Manual
Mounting the Repeater in a Rack or Cabinet
Rack or cabinet mounting must have guide rails and hole spacing, with EIA 48.3 cm (19 inch) configuration.
The cabinet must have adequate ventilation and comply with the minimum standards listed below:
- Depth: 41.3 cm (16.25 inches)
- Width: 48.3 cm (19 inches)
- Height: 13.4 cm (5.25 inches)
- The two installation rails are 5 cm (2 inches) away from the front of the cabinet, and front installation hole spacing
is 2.25 inch (from center to center).
