Section 3: Mobile Repeater Installation
Location of the Mobile Repeater base unit
The standard Mobile Repeater kit comes with an omni-‐directional whip aerial that
attaches to the ‘Indoor’ connector of the repeater unit. Since the whip aerial is omni-‐
directional, the signal broadcast is in a circular radius around the base unit.
Considering this it is best to locate the base repeater unit in a central area or in a
particular area where signal is critical. The range of the indoor broadcast will
depend on the strength of the signal coming from the external aerial.
Please note that the location for the repeater unit will require mains power and the
base unit should be mounted on a flat surface.
The whip aerial when attached to the repeater should be oriented vertically.
Cable Run from External Aerial to Mobile Repeater Unit
After determining the best cable route from the external antenna to the repeater
connect the cable at both ends.
Provide a firm connection of the coax cable with
the outdoor aerial through the connector fixed at the cable end and connect the
other side of the cable to the port on the booster base unit labeled ‘Outdoor’.
When routing cable ensure that the cable is supported and does not sag.
* Note – it is extremely important that there are no coils or loops of excess cable
between the outdoor aerial and the repeater. This in addition to sharp bends and
kinks can cause signal oscillation on the system and a false reading of the green
LED’s on the base unit. Please make sure you have no spare cable coiled or
kinked. If you have excess cable you should either use it to raise the height of the
external aerial, move the base repeater further away from the external aerial or
take an indirect path as to not coil the cable at either end.
* Note – Please do not remove connectors from the cable, repeater or aerial
unless you have the necessary tools to do so. Mobile Repeater will not warranty
any equipment that has been tampered with. If you have any concern please
contact Mobile Repeater customer support.
