Installation Instructions:
Important Notice:
Read the following installation instructions and all warnings carefully prior to installing the amplifier. Failure to follow installation instructions or tampering with the amplifier or the power supply will void the warranty.
1. Install the amplifier mounting plate, with the amplifier, on a mast near the external antenna, using two U-shaped brackets (included). The amplifier can also be installed horizontally on a mounting stand through predrilled holes in the mounting plate.
2. Connect the amplifier to the antenna and cabel connector, as marked, with 50 Ohm coaxial cable. Important: In order for the amplifier to operate properly, and to avoid damage to the amplifier and the power supply, the maximum input power to the amplifier must not exceed 100mW. User must check for proper attenuation.
3. Following installation, a weather sealant must be applied to all external connectors to protect them from moisture (moisture can cause increased signal losses in the feeder, diminished transmission quality, and possible damage to the connectors and the amplifier).
4. Grounding. Ensure that the mounting mast is properly grounded. Check the ground on the amplifier assembly with a W-meter.
Warning:
Improper grounding can adversely affect amplifier performance and may lead to equipment damage or personal injury. Failure to properly ground the amplifier will void the warranty.
The amplifier is not designed to withstand a lightning strike. Amplifier warranty does not apply to damage caused by lightning.
Operation of the Amplifier
• On power up, the amplifier will be in a "receive" mode. The mode switches to "transmit" when the amplifier receives a signal from a radio modem. A Green light on the DC injector indicates that the amplifier has power. A red light on the DC injector indicates that the amplifier is in a "transmit" mode. The red light blinks when the amplifier is connected to a bi-directional RF device.
• A constant red light indicates that the amplifier is continuously in "transmit" mode and is not communicating properly. This is an abnormal condition that can be caused by any of the following:
- High noise level in the feeder of the transmitting device. With time, some radio modems develop elevated natural noise levels, even in the "receive" mode. This noise can cause the amplifier to switch from "receive" to "transmit" mode, causing interruptions in communications. If this problem is detected, the transmitting device should be replaced.
- External interference. If the amplifier is not properly grounded, external interference can cause the amplifier to intermittently switch to "transmit" mode. This condition has been observed with certain brands of radio modems, due to the modems' poor shielding characteristics. Thus, if the transmitting device is not adequately shielded, several such devices operating in close proximity can interfere with the amplifier's operation.
• If the red light does not come on at all, the cable could be defective, or the cable length may exceed maximum allowable length.
