Attaching an “N” connector
■
Use 50
Ω
connectors and coaxial cable.
Use “N” type connectors between the repeater and the
antennas.
Power supply requirements
■
Make sure that the DC power supply that is used
with the ID-RP2 system is meet the following
requirements:
Output voltage: 13.8 V DC ±15%
Current capacity: A t l e a s t t h e t o t a l c u r r e n t
consumption of the connected
equipment, with consideration for
current fluctuations.
Installing in a system rack
■
The ID-RP2C/D/V are designed to be installed in a
standard EIA 19-inch rack.
Use the supplied bolts with the rack when fixing the
ID-RP2C/D/V.
We recommend using a rack that has rails because the
weigh of the ID-RP2D and ID-RP2V is approximately
6.2 kg (13.7 lbs) and approximately 7.5 kg (16.5
lbs), respectively.
Attaching the rubber feet
■
For desktop installations, attach the supplied rubber
feet onto the bottom of the ID-RP2C/D/V as shown
below.
Grounding
■
To prevent electrical shock, television interference
(TVI)
, broadcast interference
(BCI)
and other problems,
ground the transceiver through the GROUND terminal
on the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap
to a long earth-sunk copper rod.
Make the distance between the [GND] terminal and
ground as short as possible.
R WARNING! NEVER
connect the [GND] a gas
or electric pipe, since the connection could cause
an explosion or electric shock.
