•
Alarm system is optional. It should be ordered according
to Table 5.5.
•
Orders should include a shipping destination and a billing
address. Upon receipt of your order, Peninsula Engineering
returns an acknowledgment with the scheduled shipping
date. An equipment list showing the equipment ordered and
shipped, is included with the shipment.
6. INSTALLATION
General
•
When the RF-2000E/EW equipment is received, inspect it
carefully for damage. Claims for damage should be reported
directly to the transportation company involved immediately,
in accordance with their instructions.
•
The RF-2000E/EW assembly can be mounted on crossarms
on a wood-pole structure, a steel tower, or on a wall. At
extremely hot environment, eg. desert, shading from direct
sunshine may be required. The length of all power leads
should be limited and the wire size adequate to minimize the
voltage drop. The repeater assembly, battery boxes, solar
panels, and antennas should all be mounted before any
wiring is done. Mounting hole dimensions for the repeater
housing are shown in Figure 6.1.
•
Prior to cutting to length and connecting the coaxial feed-
lines, verify which repeater receive frequency associates with
each antenna port. The repeater receive frequencies are
marked on the repeater panel by each “N” type connector.
•
The coaxial feedlines are terminated in type N(female)
connectors with extended threads. The threaded end mounts
in a hole in the cabinet bottom with a 5/8-24 UNEF (Type
N), PWC P/N 125-0063-09 nut. The connector type is
Andrew P/N L45N or equivalent. A jumper of semi-rigid
coax (Figure 6.2) is provided to connect from the feedline
connector to the panel connector (Left: 187-0278-01 and
Right: 187-0278-02).
TO ENSURE TIGHT CONNECTION, DO NOT USE ANY
WASHERS OR SPACERS BETWEEN CABINET AND NUT.

Power Wiring
•
Remove the fuses from the holders in the battery boxes,
if storage batteries are used. The power leads can be
brought into the repeater housing through the 1/2 inch
(13mm)-non-metallic conduit (NMT) fittings provided. Use
paired 10-gauge (2.50-mm) wire from the batteries to the
repeater terminal block and from the solar panels to the
charge controller terminal block. Connect the NEGATIVE
leads to terminals 1 and 4 of ter-minal block TB-1 as shown
in Figures 1.1, 1.2 and 2.8. If a single ac supply is used,
jumpers must be installed between terminals 2 and 3 on the
lower side of the terminal block as shown in Figures 1.1
and 1.2. The NEGATIVE power lead is then connected to
terminal 1 or 4 as shown. Note that the equipment uses
a negative ground.
DO NOT CONNECT ANY POSITIVE POWER LEAD TO TB-1
AT THIS TIME.
Application of power is covered in para-graph 7.03.
DC Power
•
The repeater is normally powered from a dual battery
system designated “A” and “B.” The “A” battery is wired to
power the “A” side of the equipment. Similarly, the “B”
bat-tery is wired to power the “B” side of the equipment.
Standby power switchover is accomplished within each
amplifier. Each amplifier has a primary and secondary
battery input. If the primary battery should fail, operation
will immediately continue on the secondary battery.
7. TESTS
General
•
Few adjustments are required on the RF-2000E/EW
repeater. After application of power, AGC/ALC adjustment,
and proper antenna orientation, the equipment is ready
to be placed in service. Use of portable or mobile radio to
establish a talk path between the RF-2000E/EW repeater
site and the terminals, will aid in completing the tests and in
verification of normal (calculated) system operation.
