Page 8: Installation
(*The GPS receiver must be able to show the satellite signal levels.) Fast instructions 1. Open the ROGER GPS Repeater Pack. 2. Use the black mount to connect cable with TNC male connector. 3. Mount the external antenna on the roof of the building and connect the cable (RG58), supplied with the kit, to the antenna and to the repeater installed indoors. - Page 9 About installation Receiving antenna installation The receiving antenna should be placed in a place where it can ‘see’ as much of the sky as possible. It should be also located as far as possible from any RF interference sources, like any transmitting antennas. Before fixing the antenna, check that the cable is long enough and it can be run from the antenna to the required indoor location.
- Page 10 Troubleshooting GPS receiver cannot receive signals next to the repeater. • Check that +5VDC is present in the antenna end of the cable and in at the antenna connector of the repeater. Broken or short-circuited cable? • Check that repeater power is on and LED is on. No LED indication on GPS Repeater •...

Input connector ROGER GPS Amplifier (GPSR-A) ROGER™ GPS Line Amplifier is an amplifier that is used to allow for longer cable runs and/or signal splitting to several GPS Repeaters. It has a gain of +18dB at the GPS L1 frequency band and it includes a filter to remove unwanted signals that may have entered the cable at somepoint. - Page 12 ROGER GPS Splitter (GPSR-S) ROGER GPS Signal Splitter is used to distribute GPS signal to several GPS Repeaters. Splitter works with both GPS L1 and L2 frequency bands. It has one chaining output and four repeater outputs. DC power is passed from the chaining output to the input connector for GPS line amplifier and GPS receiving antenna.
- Page 13 ROGER GPS Amplifier&Splitter (GPSR-AS) ROGER GPS Signal Splitter & Amplifier is a combined signal splitter and line amplifier with an output of +18db that can transmit to up to three separate repeater units. The splitter & amplifier is easy to use and permits a wide range of system configurations.
- Page 14 What to consider when planning a ROGER GPS Repeater installation 1. Distance between the outdoor antenna and the repeater. The Roger GPS repeater system needs ~ 15 dB RF gain from the antenna includ- ing cable losses for best performance. The antenna supplied with the basic repeater package has an RF gain of 35 dB, which results in a cable loss budget of approxi- mately -20 dB.
