6. RV Installation
Review pre-installation considerations and determine site installation plan.
1.
Install supplied outside antenna (PN 288-PW) to vertical surface or pole with
supplied hardware. Outside antenna must be mounted in a vertical position.
Mount the outside antenna clear of metal objects and obstructions and as high as
possible but take care not to exceed height of other roof mounted items such as
A/C. The base of the antenna only can be attached or next to metal. The white
fiberglass portion should not be next to metal.
Antennas must be separated by a
structure and a 20’ or greater distance with as much vertical separation as
possible. Vertical separation is better than horizontal.
WARNING!
Only Digital Antenna authorized products may be used with the
4KMR-30U system. Using unauthorized equipment with the 4KMR-30U
system will harm the system, can be detected and voids the warranty.
2.
On supplied 30’ cable (PN 240-30NM) (or optional 25’ extension cable or 75’ or
100’ replacement
PowerMax
TM
cable) attach N male connector to N female
connector on outside antenna. Secure cable to the side or top of the RV with
appropriate fasteners (not supplied). Route cable according to site installation plan
to the DA4000MR unit.
3.
Attach mini-UHF male connector at the end of the supplied 30’ cable to
DA4000MR unit on the port labeled outside antenna. Attach the 6’ cable attached
to the inside antenna and stand to the port labeled inside antenna. The inside
antenna must be operated in a vertical position.
DO NOT turn the repeater on
until antennas and cables are securely attached.
4.
The DA4000MR unit has four mounting holes that can be fastened to a secure
surface. (fastening hardware not included)
5.
When using 110VAC - Plug 100-240VAC power supply to the DA4000MR unit.
Plug the other end into standard 110VAC receptacle.
When using 12VDC – Plug the 12 VDC to 5 VDC power cable (PN DP515) into
the DA4000MR unit. Plug the other end into a 12VDC cigarette style power
source.
The 12 VDC power supply, PN DP515, has a micro-processor controller to turn
the repeater off if not properly installed. If a red flashing light appears on the
power supply, relocate the inside and outside antennas until the power supply has
a constant green light. The power supply can be reset by unplugging the cigarette
adapter from the power source.
WARNING!
To have DC power hardwired consult a professional electronics technician.
6.
Turn the power switch to ON. If the light on the DA4000MR unit is green and the
coverage area is greater than 1-2’ then the 4KMR-30U system is operating. Test
the amplifier/repeater system by making a cell call and verifying that the indicator
light does not turn red. If the light on the DA4000MR unit is red immediately turn
OFF the DA4000MR unit and refer to the Amplifier/Repeater status section.
