Installing the Amplifier
Select a location to install the amplifier that is away from excessive heat, direct
sunlight, moisture and that has proper ventilation. Do not place the amplifier in
an air-tight enclosure.
Recommended installation locations are:
• On a desk or table top
• In a bookshelf
• On the floor
In the illustration below, a Wilson Yagi antenna is being used as the outside
antenna, and a Wilson dome antenna is being used as the inside antenna.
Run the outside antenna cable to the amplifier and attach it to the FME-male
connector labeled “outside antenna” on the amplifier. Run the inside antenna
cable to the amplifier and attach it to the FME-male connector labeled “inside
antenna” on the amplifier.
Note: Be careful when plugging the connectors in so as not to damage the
center pin.
Connect the outside antenna to the amplifier with 50-ohm or equivalent coax
cable (available in different lengths from Wilson Electronics). Place the inside
antenna in the center of the area needing the amplified signal. It is important
to have at least 20 feet of separation between the inside and outside antennas.
Closer spacing may result in oscillation, which will cause the amplifier to
automatically reduce its gain.
