5.5 Use of KIRK Repeater With External Antenna

If radio coverage between a base station and a repeater is not needed, it is possible to synchronize between the radio units using a repeater with external antenna.

Use of KIRK Repeater with external Antenna

The distance from the repeaters without external antenna to the base station must correspond to a RSSI loss of maximum 25dB.

Be aware that inside the area named “radio link” there is no radio coverage, and therefore a wireless handset cannot be used in this area.

The distance between the base station and the repeater with external antenna depends on the type of antenna used as well as on the signal attenuation created by surroundings such as buildings, trees, etc.

5.5.1 Synchronization Ways

The repeater with external antenna, 4 channels, can be programmed to obtain synchronization on two radio units (base station, wireless server or repeater).

If a situation occurs where the primary sync for some reason breaks down, the repeater will obtain sync on the alternative sync.

Be aware that the primary sync has priority; the alternative sync is only in use as long as the primary sync is down.
