IP DECT 6000 System Installation & Configuration Guide
6.1.4 Repeater LED Indicator
The repeater has one LED indicator describing the repeater operations.
The LED is off when the repeater is not powered. When the LED flashes
after the repeater has been powered, sync has still not been established.
As soon as sync has been established, the LED is on. Each time a
handset connects to the repeater, the LED flashes briefly. Each time a
handset makes a handover to a repeater, the LED flashes briefly.
6.2 Installing the Repeater
Before beginning the installation, determine the position for best
coverage of the repeater. The coverage depends on the construction of
the building, architecture, and the type of building materials.
6.2.1 Environmental requirements
●
Avoid installing repeaters on large concrete or marble columns
because these columns affect radio coverage. If possible, place
the repeater a minimum of 1 meter or 3.3 feet from these types of
columns.
●
Avoid installing a repeater with the antenna housings near metal
objects. Be careful not to damage existing wiring or panels.
● Avoid positioning repeaters in ducts, plenums or hollow spaces used
to transport environmental air except where the duct, plenum or
hollow space is created by a suspended ceiling having lay-in panels.
● Avoid positioning repeaters directly on metallic surfaces. If possible,
place the repeater a minimum of 1 meter or 3.3 feet from these types
of surfaces.
●
Avoid positioning repeaters behind furniture.
●
Only position repeaters where the signal is needed.
● The installation area must be clean, free of traffic and excess dust,
dry, and well ventilated.
●
The installation area must be within the temperature ranges of
10°C/50°F and 40°C/104°F.
●
The installation area must have non-condensing relative humidity
between 20% and 80% .
)
The repeater does not add channels, it only adds additional coverage area.
The repeater can be registered on the system:
●
when placed within the coverage area of a base station
●
when placed within the coverage area of an already-installed
repeater
For best RF coverage, the repeater must be mounted vertically on walls.
,
The repeater must not be installed at any angle other than vertical. If
the repeater is placed upside-down, the coverage area of the repeater is
decreased by 40% - 50% and it may not transmit or receive effectively.
