Installing a Repeater
Installing a Repeater
Use the procedures below to setup and install a Repeater base station.
Note that unlike normal DBS's, it is not necessary to repeat cable
measurement when installing a Repeater.
1. Configure the Base Stations
Each Repeater needs to be programmed with various settings before it
can be used. Those settings include:
– The DCU system number.
– The base station number of DBS with which the Repeater will work.
– The base station number which the Repeater should use for itself.
To do this you must use the Repeater Setup program
.
2. Mounting the Repeater
Each Repeater is supplied with a plug top PSU fitted with 2mtrs of cable
that terminates in a modular plug. Screws/plugs, for wall mounting the
CDBS, are also supplied.
To mount a Repeater, perform the following:
1. Check the proposed position of the Repeater and ensure that:
– A mains power supply is within 2 metres.
– There is a minimum of 200mm's clearance on all sides of the
Repeater.
2. Use the Repeater Wall Mounting Bracket (see figure below) as a
template to mark the required holes.
Ensure that the Repeater is level.
Drill and insert the wall fixings for the No.6 round-head screws.
3. Run the PSU modular plug through the access hole before fixing the
bracket to the wall with the two No. 6 round head screws.
4. Push the PSU modular plug in to it's socket on the Repeater.
5. Slide the Repeater onto the mounting bracket (a firm push is required
to slide the Repeater lugs over the pins on the wall mounting bracket).
6. Connect the plug top PSU to the mains power supply. The lamp in
centre of the front of the Repeater will light red for a few moments and
then turn to green.

3. Attaching an Directional Aerial
The directional aerial is supplied with a wall mounting plate, screws and
wall fixings. It also includes a 0.9m lead for connection to the directional
aerial socket on the Repeater Base Station.
The face of the aerial should be mounted perpendicular to the parent DBS.
The DECT system should be installed and the position of the Repeater
plus directional aerial tested by making calls before finally fixing the wall
mounting plate into place. The directional aerial then clicks into the wall
mounting plate.
