8. Installation 

CEG-P10 ~ CEG-P20 micro repeater should be used to cover the area indoor and the humidity and 

temperature of working can affect the 

reliability

 of repeater. So, temperature, humidity, dust, 

interference, power, space requirements and other factors should be considered during installation 

of repeater.

 

8.1.   Installation Location Requirement 

1)  It is appreciated that the repeater is installed in a cool, dry and ventilated room without erosive gas and 

smoke and without leakage on its proof. 

2)  Besides above, a cool and ventilated wall of which sun-proof and waterproof is expected. 

3)  Besides above, common wall, tower or high pole is ok. 

4)  Installation height should be easy for RF cable wiring, heat dissipation, security and maintenance. 

5)  Have a set of independent and stable power supply. 

6)  Have lightning conducer in the building, tower or high pole with enough strength or stability. 

8.2. Power requirement 

Generally it is AC power supply

and the requirement of AC is 100~264VAC/50±5Hz 

8.3. Installation tools and accessory
