5. Marine Installation
Review pre-installation considerations and determine site installation plan.
1.
Install supplied outside antenna (PN 288-PW) to vertical surface or pole with
supplied hardware. Mount the outside antenna clear of metal objects and
obstructions and as high as possible. Use PN F114 (sold separately) to mount 288-
PW to 1”-14 threaded base. Outside antenna must be mounted in a vertical
position. The 4KMR-30U system may also be used with one of Digital Antenna’s
marine 9dB gain dual band cellular antennas (pg 15). (Follow minimum 20’
inside and outside antenna separation guideline)
Antennas must be separated by
a structure and a 20’ or greater distance with as much vertical separation as
possible. Vertical separation is better than horizontal.
WARNING! -
Only Digital Antenna authorized products may be used
with the 4KMR-30U system. Using unauthorized equipment will harm the
4KMR-30U system, can be detected and voids the warranty.
2.
On supplied 30’ cable (PN 240-30NM) (or optional 25’ extension cable or 75’ or
100’ replacement
PowerMax
TM
cable) attach N male connector to N female
connector on outside antenna. Route cable according to site installation plan to the
DA4000MR unit.
3.
Attach mini-UHF male connector at the end of the supplied 30’ cable to
DA4000MR unit on the port labeled outside antenna. Attach the 6’ cable attached
to the inside antenna and stand to the port labeled inside antenna. The inside
antenna must be operated in a vertical position.
DO NOT turn the repeater on
until antennas and cables are securely attached.
4.
The DA4000MR unit has four mounting holes that can be fastened to a secure
surface in a dry location. (fastening hardware not included)
5.
When using 110VAC - Plug 100-240VAC power supply to the DA4000MR unit.
Plug the other end into standard 110VAC receptacle.
When using 12VDC – Plug the 12 VDC to 5 VDC power cable (PN DP515) into
the DA4000MR unit. Plug the other end into a 12VDC cigarette style power
source.
The 12 VDC power supply, PN DP515, has a micro-processor controller to turn
the repeater off if not properly installed. If a red flashing light appears on the
power supply, relocate the inside and outside antennas until the power supply has
a constant green light. The power supply can be reset by unplugging the cigarette
adapter from the power source.
WARNING!
To have DC power hardwired consult a professional electronics technician.
6. Turn the power switch to ON. If the light on the DA4000MR unit is green and the
coverage area is greater than 1-2’ then the 4KMR-30U system is operating. Test
the amplifier/repeater system by making a cell call and verifying that the indicator
light does not turn red. If the light on the DA4000MR unit is red immediately turn
OFF the DA4000MR unit and refer to the Amplifier/Repeater status section.
