zBoost ZB560FCS Installation guide

SETUP OVERVIEW zBoost®
Cellular Xtreme
REACH ZB560FCS
DMAN-0058 Rev 4914
SETTING UP YOUR zBOOST®SIGNAL BOOSTER
The zBoost ZB560FCS is designed to provide increased in-building voice and data
coverage, up to 9,000 square feet, and better reach into rural environments. The
ZB560FCS supports multiple users and all devices operating on (CEL) 800 MHz
Network.
Boost voice and data transmission and increase call clarity in 4 easy steps:
FIRST: Choose a location for the External Antenna using your cell phone to
determine the area of strongest signal. The coverage your zBoost provides is
largely determined by the quality of signal received by the External Antenna. This
location will be typically found on the roof.
Before installing, please note the following important factors in determining your
zBoost performance:
• At least 15 vertical feet is needed between the External Antenna (receives the
outside signal) and the Indoor Antenna (rebroadcasts the signal indoors). Separation
less than 15 vertical feet will result in decreased performance.
• Keep the External Antenna at least 2 feet above any metal such as wiring, A/C
ducts, truss plates, etc. When attaching the cable to the antenna, run the cable straight
down from the antenna. Avoid draping the coax near the antenna.
To get the maximum benefit, you will want to take special care in pointing the
External Antenna in the direction of best signal for your wireless service provider. If
you are unsure of the direction of your provider's closest network tower, see the
Antenna Aiming section of the User Manual or you may wish to use a YX699 RF
signal meter to help during this process.
Once you have determined the optimum location and angle, connect the bracket to
the antenna and secure the antenna bracket to a mast (not provided) using the
provided antenna hardware.
SECOND: Place the Indoor Antenna where you want to create a Cell ZoneTM.
The Base Unit can be easily mounted on a wall by first removing the silver bracket
from the Base Unit and using the provided mounting hardware to affix to wall.
Connect the Indoor Antenna to the 15 feet of RG-6. Then, using the TNC-F Adaptor,
connect the RG-6 to the Base Unit. *The FCC requires that this panel antenna has a
minimum horizontal separation of 6 feet (2 meters) from other CMRS (commercial
mobile radio service) devices.
The Indoor Antenna should be mounted on a wall facing the direction where
increased coverage is desired. Keep the Indoor Antenna off floor and at least 3 feet
away from other cords, metal objects or other wireless devices such as wireless
routers or wireless access points.
Remember, the zBoost REACH requires at least 15 feet of vertical separation
between the Indoor Antenna and the External Antenna. Generally, increasing this
distance (up to 40 feet) will increase the performance and decreasing the distance
will limit zBoost performance.
THIRD: Run the provided coaxial cable between the Base Unit and External
Antenna. Use the provided 35 feet of RG-6 coaxial cable to connect the External
Antenna and the Base Unit. To run the cable from exterior to interior through a
window, an 8 inch window-entry cable is available for purchase (Part: YX030-08W).
Should you need additional cable length, 15 foot extensions (Part: YX030-15W) are
available at www.zBoost.com. Please note: Cable longer than 65 feet is not
recommended.
FOURTH: Connect the zBoost Base Unit to the provided power supply and
plug into a power outlet. When your zBoost system is in place and fully connected,
walk throughout your building and verify that you are able to reliably place calls. If the
signal strength has improved, your zBoost is working.
Remember, coverage varies based on outdoor signal level, building construction,
and antenna placement. Coverage in adjoining rooms will be reduced by walls and
building materials.
Upon initial power up, the LED
will cycle RED, GREEN and
ORANGE for 30 seconds. After,
a series of GREEN flashes will
indicate the quality of your
setup. Following this, a solid
GREEN light indicates normal
conditions. If it is not solid
GREEN, follow the instructions
in the Base Unit LED Indicators
section. Adjustments may be
needed to optimize
performance. If you find the
increased signal coverage is
acceptable, however, no
additional adjustments are
needed.

Should you desire to improve coverage, you may:
• Relocate the External Antenna in order to capture a better signal–higher is better.
• Increase the distance between the Indoor Antenna and the External Antenna.

FCC Information
FCC ID: SO4ZB570-PCS-CEL
Warning: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by zBoost could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If the equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter. In accordance with FCC requirements of human exposure to radiofrequency fields, the radiating element (antenna) shall be installed
such that a minimum separation distance of 20cm (8in) is maintained from all persons.
Industry Canada Regulations
Canada IC: 5544A-ZB570PCSCEL
This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference Causing Equipment Regulations. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met.
RF Exposure:
The manufacturer’s rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be
reduced by 3.5 dB, especially where the output is re-radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be by means of input power or
gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device.
Please note: This unit has been approved for use in Canada under RSS 131, however, consent for the use of this device to improve cellular or PCS coverage, must be
obtained through your cellular or PCS provider, prior to placing the unit in operation. Please refer to the Industry Canada document CPC 2-1-05, Section 6.1 available or
viewable at: http://www.ic.gc.ca/epic/site/smt-gst.nsf/en/sf08942e.html
Cet appareillage numérique de la classe [B] répond à toutes les exigences de l’interférence canadienne causant des règlements d’équipement. L’opération est sujette aux
deux conditions suivantes: (1) ce dispositif peut ne pas causer l’interférence nocive, et (2) ce dispositif doit accepter n’importe quelle interférence reçue, y compris
l’interférence qui peut causer l’opération peu désirée.
Le fabricant nominale de la puissance de sortie de ce matériel est simple transporteur. Pour les situations lorsque plusieurs signaux porteurs sont présents, l’évaluation
devrait être réduite de 3.5 dB, en particulier lorsque le signal de sortie est ré-émise et peut provoquer des interférences adjacentes à la bande utilisateurs. Ce pouvoir est de
la réduction par le biais de la sortie d’alimentation ou la réduction de gain et non par un atténuateur à la sortie du dispositif.
