Installation Instruction Sheet: AMP-RF-1 P/N P10-00071-A 1 of 7 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation Instruction Sheet: AMP-RF-1 Instruction: Model AMP-RF-1 Applicability: Applies to WAVES CRLU and TRX Installs only Part Number: P10-00071 Date: December 4, 2012 1. Purpose This sheet provides the specifications of Indoor Amplifier model AMP-RF-1 along with detailed instructions to install the 1 Watt, 2.4 GHz amplifier into a WAVES s ystem using either a CRLU-201 or a TRX-401. Model AMP-RF-1 is intended for indoor installations that require additional output power to compensate for long transmission runs between the CRLU/TRX and the antenna. 2. Cautions and Warnings The following are specific Cautions and Warnings that must be followed when installing or operating equipment. • Please read all instructions before attempting to install any equipment. Failure to follow directions can cause bodily injury and/or damage to the equipment. • Ensure that precautionary measures are employed to prevent applying power to equipment at any time maintenance work is in progress. • Do not make any unauthorized alterations to equipment or components. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Cooper Notification can result in damage to the equipment and will void the warranty. • When working near electricity do not use metal rules, flashlights, metallic pencils, or any other object having exposed conducting material. • Ensure all electrical connections are secure before applying power to a unit. Failure to secure connections may cause an electrical arc resulting in physical shock or damage to the equipment. • Do not touch electronic components with wet hands. • When possible, avoid installing equipment during severe or wet conditions. Handling equipment with wet hands may cause slippage resulting in bodily injury and/or damage to equipment. • Comply with all electrical codes per the local authority having jurisdiction. 3. Tools Required tools and equipment needed to install the amplifier shall be determined by qualified service personnel.

To ensure compliance with mandatory codes and standards all instructions listed in this document should be followed. For installations other than military applications, the use of the amplifier must meet EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power) requirements mandated by the FCC. This section provides the basic information required to define and calculate EIRP. Each installation is unique therefore it is the responsibility of the service personnel to ensure proper installation. 1. Calculate Transmission Line Loss including connector loss. Refer to section 6.1.1 for typical loss when using LMR coax cable. 2. Identify the type of antenna in use. Refer to Table 3 for approved antenna types and their respective gains. 3. Calculate the EIRP of the antenna being used. Refer to section 6.1.2 for EIRP formula. 4. If the calculated EIRP exceeds the FCC’s maximum EIRP rating, determine the additional transmission line loss needed to adjust the EIRP to meet the FCC Rules. Refer to Table 4 for EIRP values using the AMP-RF-1 amplifier. Only antennas listed in this document are compatible with the AMP-RF-1 amplifier. Installation Installation Instruction Sheet: AMP-RF-1 P/N P10-00071 Rev A INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 4 of 3 6.1 Calculating Transmission Line Loss and EIRP To calculate EIRP, the total transmission line loss between the amplifier and the antenna is required. In some cases a minimum line loss is required to meet the FCC EIRP requirements. Refer to Table 4 for additional information to adjust EIRP. 6.1.1 Transmission Line Loss Determining Transmission Line Loss requires knowledge of the cable type being used as well as the type and quantity of connectors in the cable run between the amplifier and the antenna. Typical loss values for LMR coax cable are listed below. However, the installer should calculate cable loss in accordance with the appropriate cable and connectors being used. Coax Cable Loss: LMR-240 has a 0.13 dB loss per foot LMR-400 has a 0.07 dB loss per foot LMR-600 has a 0.04 dB loss per foot Connector loss: Approximately0.22 dB per connector (Refer to specific connector type for actual loss) Table 2 identifies the c…

Compliance with the provisions of this paragraph shall be based on the measurement of the radio frequency voltage between each power line and ground at the power terminal. The lower limit applies at the boundary between the frequency ranges. Table 1 Freq. (MHz)Conducted limit PeakConducted limit (QP) 0.15 - 0.566 to 56*56 to 46* 0.5 - 55646 5 - 306050 * Decreases with the logarithm of the frequency. Procedure -Tabletop devices shall be placed on a platform of nominal size, 1 m by 1.5 m, raised 80 cm above the reference groundplane. The vertical conducting plane or wall of a screened room shall be located 40 cm to the rear of the EUT. Floor-standing devices shall be placed either directly on the reference groundplane or on insulating material. All other surfaces of tabletop or floor-standing EUTs shall be at least 80 cm from any other grounded conducting surface, including the case or cases of one or more LISNs. AC powerline adapters that are used with EUTs such as laptop or notebook computers should be placed as typically used, i.e., on the tabletop if the adapter-to-EUT cord is too short to allow the power adapter to reach the floor. Each current-carrying conductor of the EUT power cord(s), except the ground (safety) conductor(s), shall be individually connected through a LISN to the input power source. All 50 S ports of the LISN shall be resistively terminated in 50 S when not connected to the measuring instrument. When the test configuration is comprised of multiple units (EUT and associated/peripheral equipment, or EUT consisting of multiple equipment) that have their own power cords, ac powerline conducted emissions measurements shall be performed with the ac powerline cord of the particular unit under test connected to one LISN that is connected to the measuring instrument. Those power cords for the units in the remainder of the configuration not under measurement shall be connected to a LISN different from the LISN used for the power cord of the portion of the EUT being measured. This connection may be made using a multiple receptacle device.
