REPEATER INSTALLATION
For the explanations in this chapter, please refer to
the “Parts of the Repeater” on page 3 under
“Repeater Overview” for more information.
Installations Considerations
The repeater is suitable for any location where
operations will meet the environmental conditions
of MIL Specifications 810 and IP55 (designed to
meet level of water ingress and dust protection).
For details, please refer to “Appendix A: Repeater
Specifications” on page 63.
Repeater Positioning and Orientation
Once you have decided the repeater’s location,
make sure you place it on a flat and stable surface
lying horizontal as shown in “Figure 6. Repeater
Orientation on a Flat Surface” on page 17.
(The actual orientation of the repeater device itself
shouldn’t have any impact on the repeater’s
performance (given a non-obstructed antenna)).
When using the dipole antenna, make sure the
antenna and power supply are positioned away
from the repeater in a straight line (2 to 3 feet
minimum) as shown in “Figure 7a. Repeater Cable
Layout Using Dipole Antenna P/N HKAE4000” on
page 18. For applications (like the one shown in
“Figure 7b. Repeater Cable Layout Using Mag-
Mount External Antenna P/N HKKN4022” on
page 18) where the repeater is using an external
antenna, it is very important that this antenna is
positioned and secured on a stable and flat
surface.
