RF-6000E Operations Manual
Chapter 5. Repeater Tests — 59
Chapter 5. Repeater Tests
Overview
This chapter describes how to test the RF-6000E repeater, to set levels and to verify that it is
operating properly.
Test Equipment Required
Table 10, in Chapter 2, lists test equipment and tools required for testing the RF-6000E repeater.
Equivalent equipment may be substituted.
Applying Power to the Repeater
1. Confirm the repeater is connected to the antenna feedlines, is grounded and that the power
system has been installed and tested. Confirm that all fuses are removed, amplifiers are
unplugged, and RMAS-120 is switched off.
2. Apply primary DC power to Battery A and B terminal block TB3 on the repeater main panel.
For optional 24V configuration use TB1 – A and TB2 – B for connections.
3. Measure the DC voltage at TB3. For 24V, measure at TB1 and TB2.
Make sure that the voltage is within the operating parameters of the repeater:
•
+12 Volts DC: +11 ~ +16.5 VDC. Nominal lead acid battery voltage is +12.6 VDC
when fully charged and +13.5 VDC when being charged. Correct as necessary
•
+24 Volts DC: +19 ~ +30 VDC. Nominal lead acid battery voltage is +25.2 VDC when
fully charged and +27.0 VDC when being
charged. Correct as necessary.
4. If the RMAS-120 alarm equipment is provisioned and
installed, switch ON the alarm transmitter. Press the
yellow LED switch on the lower left to observe all LEDs
illuminate and then report current alarm conditions. To
make testing easier, set the LED Switch jumper to DIS.
This will allow the LEDs to report without pressing the
LED switch.
•
When finished testing, the LED Switch jumper is
returned to the ENB position to conserve power
by only displaying alarm LEDs when the button is
pressed.
5. If the DC power is correct, all the LEDs will light briefly, then these alarm conditions should be
present:
Alarm

Battery A Low
Clear
Battery B Low
