Once you’ve picked a location for the (RAM-45) Antenna you will need to consider how you will mount the
Liberty
radio repeater: Make sure the antenna cable will reach the location you’ve selected.
The Liberty
Repeater MUST be mounted INDOORS and/or in a CLIMATE CONTROLLED environment.
Although it can be operated over a wide temperature range (-22 F to 120 F), it is NOT waterproof or water-
resistant. Do not expose to moisture or direct heat.
Mount the Liberty
Repeater to a suitable surface using fasteners through the holes on each end of the repeater.
The actual orientation of the unit and the surface to which it is mounted should not have an impact on its electrical
performance. See
FIG-8
“Proper Routing of Antenna and Power Cable”.
Indicator Lights –
The Liberty
Repeater has 2 LED indicator lights.

Connecting the Antenna Cable –
The Liberty kit includes an N-type
adapter to BNC connector (#
02100380). It may already be
installed on the connector of the
Liberty Repeater. (See
FIG-6
for a
picture of this antenna adapter).
Carefully attach the end of the RAM-
45 antenna cable to the matching end
(A)
(See Figure 6)
of the adapter (#
02100380). Connect the adapter
matching end (B) to the antenna
connector located on the end of the
Liberty
Repeater. Take care not to
cross thread when connecting to the
Liberty repeater.
If the antenna cable is routed through an area likely
to be exposed to the elements
, make sure that
precipitation does not drip down the cable into the
structure and/or into the Liberty repeater. This can be
prevented by sealing the cable entrance and/or putting
a drip loop on the cable outside of the structure (see
FIG-7
)
If the antenna is to be mounted outdoors it is imperative
that the entire antenna connection be sealed with
silicon seal tape to provide proper operation.
Regardless of the antenna used, it is always best to
weatherproof the antenna connection using seal tape.
Silicon seal tape can also be purchased at most
Industrial Supply Stores, Hardware and Home Center
Stores, or Electronic Supply Stores.
