Page 21: Antenna Separation/Isolation
Antenna Separation/Isolation Separation between the antennas is necessary to prevent oscillation. Oscillation occurs when the signal entering the system continually reenters, due to the lack of separation between the donor and server antennas. In other words, the signal is being fed back into the system. This creates a constant amplification of the same signal. As a result, the noise level rises above the signal level. -
Page 22: Line Of Sight
WARNING: Inserting a CW signal into the SDR-ICS-43 when ICS is enabled will cause the system to generate a false alarm. The false alarm will cause the system to go into a shutdown state. If a CW signal needs to be injected into the repeater for testing purposes, the ICS routine must be turned off. -

Page 45: Appendix
9. APPENDIX Shutdown Retry Logic The function of the built-in shutdown routine is to protect the repeater from any further damage from a hard- fail that the system may be experiencing. Within 5 seconds of a hard-fail alarm being detected, the repeater will start the shutdown routine. The repeater will shut down by powering of the HPAs (high-powered amplifiers) for 30 seconds.
