Ordering Information
The RF-7000E RF Repeater Assembly is ordered by specifying the system model number RF-
7000E-XX, RF-7000EL-XX (Tables 5 and 6). Attenuators are provisioned by specifying their part
numbers. Transmission engineering must be completed before ordering because the necessary
attenuator values are determined from the path calculations. Part numbers are listed in Table 7.
When doing the initial system layout of a radio link which includes an RF-7000E Microwave RF
Repeater Assembly, several factors must be considered prior to ordering, to ensure correct antenna
connections and proper installation. Consider the following topics before ordering the RF-7000E
Microwave RF Repeater:
Repeater Transmit and Receive Frequencies
Repeater frequencies are coordinated with the adjacent terminal radios. See the block diagrams
for more detail. Orders cannot be accepted without firm frequencies. Frequency assignments
within the repeater can optimize the orientation of the repeater antenna ports relative to the site
antennas. Peninsula Engineering can assist in determining the frequencies and assignments.
Terminal Radio Modulation, Traffic Capacity and Repeater Transmit Power Level
Repeater transmit power levels are set based on the modulation and traffic capacity of the
adjacent terminal radios. Please include the modulation and traffic capacity details with the
purchase order. Peninsula Engineering will determine the proper transmit power level.
Modulations and traffic capacity beyond those listed in this manual may be possible to support,
contact Peninsula Engineering Solutions for more details.
Electric Power System
The repeater site power system should be detailed during the system design phase. Peninsula
Engineering Solutions can provide this design service and the power equipment. Power systems
may include: Solar, Wind, AC, TEG, Motor Generator, Fuel Cell or other power sources. All
power systems include a battery plant and associated charge control equipment. Battery capacity
must be adequate for the load, location and power source.
Antennas
The types and sizes of antennas required to meet the system requirements. Transmission
engineering can determine the antenna details. Transmission engineering and antennas are
available from Peninsula Engineering Solutions.
Feedlines
Type and length required for antenna connections (including jumper assemblies); note that
waveguide is available from Peninsula Engineering Solutions.
Mounting
Special requirements for the repeater and antennas specific to the intended tower or supporting
structure. The repeater normally mounts outdoors in its all-weather enclosure. Peninsula
Engineering Solutions can provide construction engineering support.
Alarm System
The Repeater Monitor and Alarm System equipment is optional. Please refer to Tables 9 and 10
for ordering details or refer to the alarm equipment manuals.
When ordering, specify a shipping destination and a billing address. Peninsula Engineering Solutions
returns an order acknowledgment with the scheduled shipping date. Each shipment includes an
equipment list showing the equipment ordered and shipped, including details about system and
equipment options.
