Installing the KIRK Repeater
52
• Do not install a repeater with the antenna housings near metal objects. Be careful not
to damage existing wiring or panels.
• Do not position repeaters in ducts, plenums or hollow spaces used to transport
environmental air except where the duct, plenum or hollow space is created by a
suspended ceiling having lay-in panels.
• Keep the repeater away from steel constructions.
• Do not position repeaters directly on metallic surfaces. If possible, place the base
station a minimum of one meter/3.3 feet from these types of surfaces.
• Do not position repeaters behind furniture.
• Only position repeaters where the signal is needed.
• The installation area must be clean, free of traffic and excess dust, dry, and well
ventilated.
• The installation area must be within the temperature ranges of 10°C and 40°C/50°F
and 104°F.
• The installation area must be between 20% and 80% non-condensing relative
humidity.
Note
Note
For best RF coverage, the repeater must be mounted vertically on walls. The antennas
must always be kept perpendicular to the floor.
Caution
14117800, Ed.2.6
The repeater does not add channels, it only adds additional coverage area.
The repeater can be registered on the system 1) when placed within the
coverage area of a base station 2) when placed within the coverage area of
an already-installed repeater or 3) when placed outside the coverage area
using an external antenna.
The repeater must not be installed at any angle other than vertical. If the
repeater is placed upside-down, the coverage area of the repeater is
decreased by 40 - 50% and it might not transmit or receive effectively.
