4. Installation
– General Notes
4.1. General Remarks
When this equipment is initially commissioned, please keep a record of the initial set-up parameters,
this will help both the installation personnel and Axell Wireless should these figures be needed for
future reference or diagnosis.
The procedure for installing and commissioning an Axell Wall Mount Line Amplifier is generally as
follows:
1)
Secure the Line Amplifier in the chosen wall position.
2)
Fix the antenna and connect its cables to the Amplifier antenna ports.
3)
Connect a suitable mains or battery power supply to the Amplifier
4)
Calculate the attenuation settings required for the uplink and the downlink paths, and set the
attenuators as described elsewhere in this document.
5)
Switch the equipment mains on with the small switch located inside the Amplifier on the lower
right hand side of the case.
6)
If Input RF is available, then make test calls via the Amplifier to ensure correct operation, if
possible monitoring the signal levels during these calls to ensure that the uplink and downlink
RF levels are as anticipated.
4.2. Electrical Connections
It is recommended that the electrical mains connection is made by a qualified electrician, who must be
satisfied that the supply will be the correct voltage and of sufficient capacity.
All electrical and RF connections should be completed and checked prior to power being applied for
the first time.
Ensure that connections are kept clean and are fully tightened.
4.3. RF Connections
Care must be taken to ensure that the correct connections are made with particular attention made to
the base station TX/RX ports. In the event that the base transmitter is connected to the RX output of
the equipment, damage to the equipment will be done if the base station transmitter is then keyed.
4.3.1. Termination of Unused Ports
In the event that any RF ports are unused (available for future expansion) these ports must be kept
terminated with the load terminations supplied by Axell for that purpose
Ensure that connections are kept clean and are fully tightened.
