GSM-EDGE Repeaters PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USER'S MANUAL © Avitec AB A1009300 A 104 (177) 4.2 Install the Repeater Instructions in the left column are fast track instructions and can be used by experienced users. Other users are recommended to read the complete text in this installation guide 4.2.1 Unpack the Repeater Unpack the repeater Inspect the shipped material before unpacking the equipment, document any visual damage and report according to routines. A delivery of a repeater from Avitec contains: ! Checklist with delivered items ! Repeater ! Wall mounting kit or rack mounting kit (defined in order) ! 4 bolts for attaching repeater to mounting kit ! Cable cover ! Keys to repeater and cable cover ! CD containing Product Description and User’s Manual ! Any other specifically ordered item 4.2.2 Mount the Repeater Mount the repeater on a wall, on a pole or in a rack Mount the repeater in an accessible location and in a location that fulfils the environmental requirements. The repeater can be mounted on the wall, on a pole or in a 19 inch rack. The Repeater is delivered with a wall mounting kit or a rack mounting kit. The repeater needs to be mounted tightly to eliminate vibrations Wall mounting kit Rack mounting kit Ensure proper ventilation Mount the repeater so that heat can be dispersed from it. The repeater wall mounting kit ensures an optimum airflow between the wall and the repeater itself. Do not block this air channel as it will cause the MTBF of the repeater to drop dramatically, or even in the worst case cause the repeater to fail completely. If possible use a wall in the shadow to minimize the overall sun loading. If sufficient shielding cannot be obtained, an additional sun shield should be mounted. GSM-EDGE Repeaters PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USER'S MANUAL © Avitec AB A1009300 A 105 (177) Example of a sun shield 4.2.3 Ensure Proper Grounding Connect the grounding protection Ensure that good grounding protection measures are taken to create a reliable repeater site. Make sure to use adequately dimensioned grounding cables. The minimum recommended conductive area for a grounding cable is 16mm 2. The antenna cabling should be connected to ground every 10m by a reliable grounding kit. Make sure the grounding product used is suitable for the kind and size of cable being used. Connect the repeater box bolt to the same ground. Ground Ground connector on repeater GSM-EDGE Repeaters PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USER'S MANUAL © Avitec AB A1009300 A 106 (177) 4.2.4 Ensure Good EMV Protection (Lightning) Caution If insufficient Electro magnetic Protection is provided, or if EMV measures are not taken, warranties issued by Avitec are not valid. Connect the lightning protection The lightning hazard to electric and electronic equipment consists in the interferences of direct lightning current infections and high surge voltages induced by the electromagnetic field of nearby lightning channels or down conductors. Amplitudes from cloud-to-earth lightning amounts to several 10kA and may last longer than 2 ms. The damage caused depends on the energy involved and on the sensitivity of the electronics systems. Ensure that lightning protection measures are taken to create a reliable repeater site. Protect all coaxial cables and power cables from the transients caused by lightning. Fit all cables with suitable lightning protection devices. For detailed information please refer to IEC 61024-1 and 61312-1 for international standards for protection of information systems against LEMP, Lightning Electromagnetic Pulse, including radio transmitters. They define proper planning, installation and inspection of effective lightning protection systems. Antennas Repeater Primary Protective Devices Equipotential Grounding Bars 230V AC/48V DC Protective Device Secondary Protective Devices The top of the mast must be higher than the antennas and be properly grounded The grounding path must have reliable continuity and be correctly dimensioned The Avitec repeaters comply with the EN standard ETS 301 498-8 which stipulates demands on lightning/surge protection for typical infrastructure telecom equipment installations. Several lightning protection devices should be used in series with declining threshold voltages to help attenuate the pulse component which makes it through the first layer of protection. The primary protective device is part of the site installation and is not supplied by Avitec. Coaxial lightning protection is normally one of these three types: Gas capsule, High-pass and Bandpass. GSM-EDGE Repeaters PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USER'S MANUAL © Avitec AB A1009300 A 107 (177) There also need to be a protective device installed on the power supply cord. Protective device installed in connection with the power supply 4.2.5 Attach Antenna Cables Note! For Frequency Translating Repeaters see also 4.2.8 Mount the Coupler Note! For site installation advice and descriptions of antenna installation see 4.1 Prepare the Site. Attach the antenna cables to the repeater antenna connections Connectors The connector to the directional coupler (frequency translating repeaters donor unit) is N-type female. Antenna connections are DIN 7/16” connectors, female. Compatibility Make sure that cables and connectors are compatible. Using cables and connectors from the same manufacturer is helpful. Connectors All connectors must be clean and dry Waterproof all outdoor connections Waterproof all outdoor connections using silicone, vulcanizable tape or other suitable substance as moisture and dust can impair RF characteristics. Make sure enough room has been allocated for the bending radius of the cable. RF cables must not be kinked, cut or damaged in any way Connect the RF cables to the antennas tightly but without damaging threads Fasten cables tight to cable ladder or aluminum sheet Cable Dimensions For short length of feeder cables use ½ “, for longer feeder cables use 7/8”. Chose thicker coax cables for lower attenuation. Minimize …

From: Monica Roos ES-STO Sent: Monday, October 18, 2004 10:07 AM To: Roland Gubisch ES-Box Cc: Danielle Fontaine ES-Box Subject: SV: Avitec FCC ID: PRQCSFT1922 Dear Roland, I hope everything is fine with you. Today the client provided me with the requested items stated below for the application with FCC ID: PRQCSTF1922 1. DC power to the final stages: 60 W (for each amplifer "LIMPA" (two channels)). 2. Corrections has been made to Form 731 according to your instructions. Please see attached the revised Form 731. 3. The use of the term "Extender" is accepted by the Avitec. You wrote following in an e-mail sent 6 October 2004: "Thank you. We also need to specify in the Grant if the power measured in the test report is the same per channel for either one or two channel systems;or if the total power is derated for 2- channel systems." Answer: The measured power stated in the test report is the same per channel. I hope our comments will satisfy you, if not please let me know what is missing or incorrect. Please send me a copy of the Grant when it has been issued. Have a nice day! Vänliga hälsningar / Best regards Monica Roos _____________________________________________ Från: Roland Gubisch ES-Box Skickat: den 5 oktober 2004 17:46 Till: Monica Roos ES-STO Kopia: Danielle Fontaine ES-Box Ämne: Avitec FCC ID: PRQCSFT1922 Dear Monica, Review of this application is complete, and certification can proceed pending these administrative items: 1) Information on DC power into final RF stages, per CFR47 2.1033(c)(8), cannot be found. Please indicate where it is located, or provide. 2) The Form 731 lists several items which should be amended to agree with the test report: • The listed frequency range should be from the center of the lowest operating channel to the center of the highest operating channel, rather than at the block edges. Therefore, the operating frequency bands should be 1850.2-1909.8 and 1930.2-1989.8. This also agrees with the test report. • the FCC emission designator convention for US EDGE is 300KG7W, and for US GSM is 300KGXW. The necessary bandwidth of 300 kHz agrees with the test report. • Power output depends on the frequency block, and can exceed the 20W listed in the Form 731. A draft Grant is attached, showing the proposed listing of frequency and power outputs for both US EDGE (300KG7W) and GSM (300KGXW) emission types. 3) The FCC classifies this two-way equipment as an "extender" rather than a "repeater" (see definitions below). Therefore, the "note" in the Grant has been amended to use the term "Extender." If this is not an acceptable change, the term "extender" will be added elsewhere in the Grant. Thank you, Roland <Fil: Draft Grant Notes.doc >> FCC DEFINITIONS AMP Placed between a transmitter and antenna. BOOSTER Two antennas, receive, amplifies and transmit on the same frequency in one direction. REPEATER Two antennas, receive, amplifies and transmit on a different frequency in one direction (Does not demodulate signal to baseband, treat these as tx’s) EXTENDER Two way repeater or booster. Mostly boosters (same frequency).
