3 Repeater Installation

This chapter describes the installation of various repeater models, including repeaters
with fan assemblies (section 3.3) and five service Master / Slave systems (section 3.4).
WARNING!! Maximum input power should not exceed (zero) 0 dBm

3.1 Location Criteria

Location criteria
Wall compatibility - check the suitability of the wall on which the MBF-40 is to be
•
to be fitted.
Plan mount - check the actual fixing centres (see below) and overall dimensions of
•
the MBF-40 enclosure. The MBF-40 is supplied with two wall mounting brackets;
when the MBF-40 is mounted on these brackets adequate ventilation is provided
between the MBF-40 and the wall to which it is fixed.
Plan connection cable clearances - the Optical, RF and power connections located
•
on the underside of the MBF-40 will need at least 300mm vertical clearance below
the MBF-40 to enable the connections to be made. The minimum bend radius for
Optical and RF cables must not be less than the recommendations made by the cable
manufacturer. Plan the cable runs and ensure adequate space is available.
Allow for door opening - ensure that there is sufficient space at the front of the
•
MBF-40 to allow the door to be fully opened and for maintenance engineers to get
access to the unit with test equipment such as a spectrum analyzer. Allow an
additional 500mm of space in front of the MBF-40 when the door is fully open.
Allow for heat dispersion - Mount the repeater so that heat can be dispersed from
•
it.
The repeater wall mounting kit ensures an optimum airflow between the wall and the
repeater.) Do not block this air channel as it will cause the MTBF of the repeater to
drop dramatically, or even in the worst case cause the repeater to fail completely.
If possible, use a wall in the shade to minimize the overall sun loading. If sufficient
shielding cannot be obtained, an additional sun shield should be mounted.
