4. Home/Office Installation
Review pre-installation considerations and determine site installation plan.
1.Install supplied outside antenna (PN 288-PW) to vertical surface or pole with supplied hardware. Mount the outside antenna clear of metal objects and obstructions. Outside antenna must be mounted in a vertical position. Antennas must be separated by a structure and a 40’ or greater distance with as much vertical separation as possible. Vertical separation is better than horizontal.
WARNING!
Only Digital Antenna authorized products may be used with the 4KSBR-50U system. Using unauthorized equipment will harm the 4KSBR-50U system, can be detected and voids the warranty.
2.On supplied 50’ cable (PN 340-50NM) (or optional 25’ extension cable or 75’ or 100’ replacement PowerMaxTM cable) attach N male connector to N female connector on outside antenna. Secure cable to the side of the building with appropriate fasteners (not supplied). Route cable according to site installation plan to the DA4000SBR unit.
3.Attach mini-UHF male connector at the end of the supplied 50’ cable to DA4000SBR unit on the port labeled outside antenna. Attach the 6’ cable attached to the inside antenna and stand to the port labeled inside antenna. The inside antenna must be operated in a vertical position. DO NOT turn the repeater on until antennas and cables are securely attached.
4.The DA4000SBR unit has four mounting holes that can be fastened to a secure surface. (fastening hardware not included)
5.Plug 100-240VAC power supply to the DA4000SBR unit. Plug the other end into standard household 110VAC receptacle.
6.Turn the power switch to ON. If the light on the DA4000SBR unit is green and the coverage area is greater than 1-2’ then the 4KSBR-50U system is operating. Test the amplifier/repeater system by making a cell call and verifying that the repeater indicator light does not turn red. If the light on the DA4000SBR unit turns red immediately turn OFF the DA4000SBR unit and refer to the Amplifier/Repeater status section.
The repeater system only amplifies existing outside cell signal; it does NOT create a cell signal. If no outside signal is present, the repeater has no signal to amplify. The outside antenna should be mounted as high as possible to capture the available cell signal.
Inside Coverage area is based upon outside signal strength.
Aweak outside signal (-90dB) will provide less inside coverage area than a stronger outside signal (-70dB).
To increase coverage area, use one of Digital Antenna’s high gain outside and/or inside directional antennas (pg 15).
