Installing And Connecting; Attaching An "N" Connector; Power Supply Requirements; Installing In A System Rack - Icom ID-RP2C Instruction Manual

■ Attaching an "N" connector

Use 50 Ω connectors and coaxial cable.
Use "N" type connectors between the repeater and the
antennas.

■ Power supply requirements

Make sure that the DC power supply that is used
with the ID-RP2 system is meet the following
requirements:
Output voltage: 13.8 V DC ±15%
Current capacity: A t l e a s t t h e t o t a l c u r r e n t
consumption of the connected
equipment, with consideration for
current fluctuations.

■ Installing in a system rack

The ID-RP2C/D/V are designed to be installed in a
standard EIA 19-inch rack.
Use the supplied bolts with the rack when fixing the
ID-RP2C/D/V.
We recommend using a rack that has rails because the
weigh of the ID-RP2D and ID-RP2V is approximately
6.2 kg (13.7 lbs) and approximately 7.5 kg (16.5
lbs), respectively.

INSTALLING AND CONNECTING

Slide the nut, washer,
rubber gasket and clamp
over the coaxial cable, then
cut the end of the cable
evenly.
Strip the cable and fold the
braid back over the clamp.
Tin the center conductor.
Install the center conductor
pin and solder it.
Carefully slide the plug
body into place aligning the
center conductor pin on the
cable. Tighten the nut onto
the plug body.

■ Attaching the rubber feet

For desktop installations, attach the supplied rubber
feet onto the bottom of the ID-RP2C/D/V as shown
below.

■ Grounding

To prevent electrical shock, television interference
, broadcast interference
(TVI)
ground the transceiver through the GROUND terminal
on the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap
to a long earth-sunk copper rod.
Make the distance between the [GND] terminal and
ground as short as possible.
R WARNING: NEVER
or electric pipe, since the connection could cause
an explosion or electric shock.
