d. AMPLIFIER/REPEATER STATUS
The DA4000SBR unit is designed with a status/fault indicator to indicate proper unit
functionality. The chart below details the different LED color indicators.
LED
Status
GREEN solid light
Normal Status
YELLOW/ORANGE
flickering light
Degree of cellular transmission activity or may stay
green with cell phones operating on 1900 MHz.
Solid RED light
TURN OFF, Fault needs immediate corrective
action
No light
No power to the DA4000SBR amplifier/repeater or
unit is damaged
If a red flashing light appears on the DP515 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.
GREEN solid light
Normal status
Flashing RED light
Power supply stops power to repeater until
antennas are properly installed.
Green light on repeater – shows normal Status and DA4000SBR is operating normally
unless coverage area is only 1-2’ from inside antenna. If coverage area is only 1-2’,
DA4000SBR repeater is automatically powering down to prevent an oscillation. Re-
locate antennas until coverage area is greater.
Green/yellow/orange flickering light on repeater - shows that cellular activity is being
transmitted through the DA4000SBR unit unless cell phone is operating on 1900 MHz.
The light will remain green with low levels of cellular transmission and change to
flickering yellow/orange as transmission increases. The light may remain green with low
levels of transmission. When a yellow/orange light is present, it must always go back to
green when call is finished. If it does not go back to green, re-locate antennas until light
goes back to green.
Solid Red light on Repeater – indicates a fault. Turn OFF power switch and proceed
with the following corrective actions:
x
The red light indicates that the inside and outside antennas are located too close to
each other and need to be re-located. A typical installation requires that the inside
and outside antennas have a minimum separation distance of 25 feet and be
separated by an exterior wall. If the inside and outside antennas are not 25 feet
apart or more, re-locate the antennas.
x
If the outside and inside antennas are separated by 25’ or more and an exterior
wall, the red light may be indicating the use of analog phones. Contact Digital
antenna if you are using an analog phone.
No light on Repeater – indicates improper installation and the power supply is stopping
power to the repeater or no power is available. Proceed with the following corrective
actions:
x
Only after all cables and antennas are securely attached, verify that the power
switch on the DA4000SBR unit is in the ON position.
