1)
The distance between the Bias Tee and the Cel-Fi
PRIME X depends on the type of coax cable used.
2)
The maximum DC resistance between the Bias Tee
and the PRIME X is 2.4 ohm. For some standard
cables this translates to:
LMR100 – 8m
LMR200 – 30m
LMR240 – 42m
3)
Make sure the supplied power supply has enough
cable to reach the BIAS TEE, and meets the install
criteria

1)
The total RF cable loss between the Cel-Fi PRIME X
and the server antenna must not exceed
14dB
.
2)
For some standard cables this translates to a total
cable length of:
LMR100 – 12m
LMR200 – 28m
LMR240 – 39m
3)
The total cable length equals (1) the cable length
between the Bias Tee and (2) the Cel-Fi PRIME X
plus the cable length between the Bias Tee and the
Service antenna.
The mounting bracket for the
Smart Signal Booster
can
be installed either on a flat surface or in a corner. Use
either the supplied double sided tape or screw kit (you
don’t need to use both). Attach the
Smart Signal Booster
to the mounting bracket.
The unit MUST BE vertically
upright for the antennas to work properly.
Mounting
the unit horizontally could result in poor performance.
Use your phone to find the best cellular signal. Keep
in mind that RF coax cable will need to run from the
PRIME X signal source, to the Bias Tee, and from the
Bias Tee to the Service Antenna (where you will improve
coverage).
When selecting a mounting location, it’s best to chose a
location that is protected from the elements, like direct
sun and rain.
