ection 1: IntroductionThank you for purchasing our product the Small Communication Repeater Station Kit. Our product is designed to enhance mobile phone coverage for indoor applications by capturing a signal externally, amplifying and retransmitting a clear and reliable signal within the desired coverage area. The performance of Our Mobile Repeater Kit will depend on the external signal strength, which is provided as input to the repeater base unit.
This document provides a step-by-step guide to a basic installation and offers some trouble-shooting tips if you have any difficulty in getting your Kit to work.
Section 2: External Antenna InstallationThe most important part of the installation is the location and orientation of the external antenna. The external antenna is a square plate or Yagi antenna that has a signal coax lead connected to it. The external antenna should be separated from the base repeater as much as possible to avoid potential feedback between the two units.
When installing the external antenna please consider the following:
Physical Location
The external antenna should ideally be mounted as high as possible outside in order to provide the best signal input to the base repeater unit. Please find the location outside where you have the strongest signal on your phone. Please check to make sure you are able to place a call on your phone at this location.
Orientation
The panel antenna or Yagi is directional and should be installed so that it points towards to the local base station for your network provider. The external antenna applies the highest amount of signal gain when pointed in the direction-The stronger the input signal to the repeater, the better the indoor coverage will be.
NOTE - you can use Supplier to locate base stations in your postcode or call your network provider to check.
Please seal the connection of the cable connector of the antenna on to the end of the coax so that it is waterproof.
Section 3: Mobile Repeater Installation Section 3-1: Location of the Mobile Repeater Base UnitStandard mobile repeater station kit comes with a whip antenna in each direction or the direction of the plate or mushroom ceiling antenna connected to "Indoor" Port of the repeater unit. Since the whip antenna is omni-directional, the signal broadcast is in a circular radius around the base unit. Considering this is best to locate the base repeater unit in a central area or in a particular spot where signal is needed. The range of the indoor broadcast will depend on the strength of the signal coming from the external antenna.
Please note that the location for the repeater unit will require a standard mains power supply and the base unit should be mounted on a flat surface ex. either on a desk or cabinet or on the wall. The whip antenna when attached to the repeater should be oriented vertically.
Section 3-2: Cable Run to Mobile Repeater UnitAfter determining the best cable route from the external antenna to the repeater connect the cable at both ends. Provide a firm connection of the coaxial cable with the outdoor antenna through the connector fixed at the cable end and connect the other side of the cable to the port on the booster base unit labeled "Outdoor". When routing cable ensure that the cable is supported and does not sag.
NOTE - it is extremely important that there are no coils or loops of excess cable between the outdoor antenna and the repeater. This in addition to sharp bends and kinks can cause signal oscillation on the system and a false reading of the base unit of liquid crystal display signal. Please make sure you have no spare cable coiled or kinked. If you have excess cable you should either use it to raise the height of the external antenna, move the base repeater further away from the external antenna or take an indirect path as to not coil the cable at either end.
NOTE -please do not remove connectors from the cable, repeater or antenna unless you have the necessary tools to do so. Mobile Repeater will not warranty any equipment that has been tampered with. If you have any concern please contact Mobile Repeater customer support.Section 4: System Commissioning Before turning the repeater unit on, please ensure that you have the connectors for the outdoor antenna and the indoor whip antenna fastened firmly.
Connect the AC mains to the DC adapter and connect the DC adapter cord to the DC input of the repeater unit. When the liquid crystal display optical signal active-if you have a strong outdoor signal level, you will see the LCD display with light signal. It is also at this point that you should see a signal come through on your mobile phone. Once the base unit is on, you can re-boot your mobile phone and check to see if it is receiving a signal. Try to place a test-call to someone or to your voice mail to see if you can call. If you are able to place calls out and receive calls, you repeater is working properly. You can adjust the direction of the external antenna to try and maximize the indoor signal coverage. Mobile Repeater also supplies signal splitters and indoor coverage antenna that can be used to distribute signal over a building with heavy partition walls.
If you are not able to place calls due to a low outdoor signal level, you may need a higher gain external antenna. If you are not able to place calls but you have a strong signal at the location of your external antenna, please review the trouble-shooting tips below for more information or please contact Mobile Repeater customer support for technical advice.
Section 5: Trouble-Shooting TipsIf you get a signal off the repeater but coverage radius is low
If you have established that you are now able to place and receive calls when in range of the repeater and want to extend coverage inside the building, it is important to ensure the proper orientation of your external antenna and to ensure that it is pointed towards the local base station for your network provider.
If the liquid crystal display signal is closed but still you can in your mobile phone signal
This is good. It is the normal operation of the repeater. Note that the liquid crystal display signal does not need to in order to the normal operation of the unit. Liquid crystal display is designed to activate when the relay unit receives the maximum input signal.
From the external antenna, if the liquid crystal display signal closed, repeater will broadcast signal but could not reach the maximum estimated area coverage.
If the liquid crystal display signal is the mobile phone signal-you didn't get in you
Some cases will lead to the basic unit of liquid crystal display signal error reading, which can be a result of interference or coiled cable.
First check to make sure you have the maximum separation possible between the external antenna and the repeater. It is very important that there is no spare cable coiled in loops at any point. If you have the cable coiled, please unroll the whole cable and re-check the signal on your phone next to the repeater.The external antenna should not be within 5 meters of an active TV or satellite antenna.
If the green lights are still ON but you cannot place calls inside or drop calls on a regular basis
Your repeater may be oscillating due to interference between the external antenna and the base repeater, due to cable problems or a short circuit. If you are experiencing this and you have already ensured that the cable run is straight and free from coils, sharp bends or kinks, please contact Mobile Repeater Customer Support.
If your phone shows a strong signal but the call quality is not clear
This is either a result of coiled cable, a sharp bend or due to external antenna direction. If your cable run is straight and you have not coiled excess cable, please check the direction of the external antenna and ensure that it points towards the local base station. As the antenna is directional, it needs proper orientation to ensure a reliable communication channel between the external antenna and the nearest base station for your network.
If you are not able to locate the base station from the website above, simply rotate the antenna in a full circle and test calls inside near the repeater unit to ensure a quality signal. Otherwise we would recommend contacting your network provider to request information on the nearest base station location.
If the liquid crystal display signal is closed, you cannot accept a signal at the relay unit
This is a result of the repeater unit not receiving a strong enough signal externally.
Solutions-first, ensure that the entire length of cable is completely uncoiled and free from any sharp bends or kinks.
Second, check the coax cable between the outdoor antenna and the repeater and make sure connections and cables are intact.
Third, check the orientation of the external antenna and ensure it is pointed in the right direction. If necessary simply rotate the external antenna and monitor the signal level on your phone inside near the repeater to see if you are able to pick up the external signal.
If you still do not receive a signal on your phone from the repeater (liquid crystal display even if the signal is closed) then you may need to consider using a higher gain and more directional external antenna that is more sensitive to capture weak outdoor signals. Contact the supplier of telephone communication fittings for the antenna upgrade information.
NOTE- please do not remove connectors from the cable, repeater or antenna unless you have the necessary tools to do so. Mobile Repeater will not warranty any equipment that has been tampered with. If you have any concern please contact Mobile Repeater Customer Support.
