Applying Power to the Repeater
NOTE:
When the repeater is shipped from the factory, the Forward and Reverse Power Amplifiers (PA) are
left in the OFF position, and the standby battery inside the repeater’s Entry Panel is disconnected.
1. Remove the antenna cables, and terminate the repeater’s antenna ports, using
Type N (male) 50 Ohm terminations.
2. Apply primary power, AC or DC, as required.
NOTE: The Critical and Minor LEDs, located on the Repeater Entry Panel, should be ON (illuminated).
3. Open the entry box, under the main repeater cabinet.
As you face the repeater from the front, the standby battery is at the right side of the entry
box. The battery is provided with two wire leads: one red wire and one black wire.
4. Connect the red battery lead to the standby battery.
NOTE: The Minor LED, located on the Repeater Entry Panel, should now be OFF.
5. Measure the AC/DC voltage at the Input Power connector in the Entry Panel.
Make sure that the voltage is within the operating parameters of the repeater:
•
110/230 Volts AC or +24 Volts DC.
