Installation Guide
Choosing a Tentative Location
Prior to the RF coverage field test, you must first
decide which would be the tentative locations for
the repeater. You should have different options
that may be evaluated according to the following
aspects:
•
Location should be as centered as possible to
the area that is being intended for coverage
so the signal strength is at the same level as
possible for all points.
•
If the repeater is to be located inside a
building, for example, try to look for a height
vertically centered location as well.
•
To ensure that the location of this device and
its antenna is always at a minimum distance
of 20 cm away from the bystanders.
•
Location should meet minimum environmental
requirements.
(Please refer to "Environmental
Conditions at Intended Installation Site (*)" on
page 13 for more information).
•
If you are planning to use the repeater to
cover a large area with different buildings, it is
strongly recommended that you use the
antenna/magnetic mount and RF Cable
Accessory Kit to install the repeater antenna
in a high point that allows as much as possible
line of sight (**) to most of the area to be
covered. Bear in mind that most of the times,
increasing the repeater’s antenna height
improves the coverage, but is not necessarily
always the case.
•
If you are planning to have permanent
installation for the repeater, double check that
the environmental and electrical installation
requirements described in the following
sections are feasible.
Note:
(**) Means sight from the repeater free of
obstructions at the naked eye.
