External Power Figure 2: SR-9120 system diagram In downlink, the BTS signals are received by donor antenna of the repeater. After the duplexer, the signals are sent to the LNA for pre-amplification, followed by band selection by the Frequecny Selection (FS) Module.
INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR SR-9120 2.2 GENERAL APPLICATIONS Centralized Control and Monitoring Centralized control and monitoring is applicable for indoor systems employing several indoor repeaters. For remote control and monitoring, the operating status of each remotely-connected slave repeater can be monitored by the OMC through the Master Unit (with integrated wireless modem). The Master Unit is locally connected with the Slave Unit via RS-485 communication bus.
Page 16
INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR SR-9120 Remote Control and Monitoring of Single Equipment In addition to being monitored by OMT locally, a group of repeaters can be remotely controlled and monitored by OMT/OMC.

INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR SR-9120 3 INSTALLATION 3.1 WARNINGS AND ALERTS Radio Frequency Energies There may be situations, particularly for workplace environments near high-powered RF sources, where recommended limits for safe exposure of human beings to RF energy could be exceeded. In such cases, restrictive measures or actions may be necessary to ensure the safe use of RF energy.
Humidity and temperature have an adverse effect on the reliability of the equipment. It is recommended to install the equipment in locations having stable temperature and unrestricted air-flow. The SR-9120 equipment is designed to operate at the temperature range and humidity level as stated in the product specifications in Reference 0.6.2.

INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR SR-9120 3.3.4 MOUNTING ARRANGEMENT The figure below shows the mounting bracket for use with the enclosure. Figure 7: Mounting rack dimensions The mounting rack is pre-installed to the enclosure prior to shipment. Before commencing with wall or pole mounting, user needs to unscrew and remove the two sets of hex bolts (M8x25mm) on the equipment with a ring spanner.
Figure 9: Pole mounting of SR-9120 3.3.7 DRIP-LOOP Comba recommends that every horizontal cable entry to the equipment forms a 'U' before its entry to the equipment. Any accumulated water on the cable will drip down at the bottom of the loop and will not accumulate at the equipment connectors.
RS-232 port RS-485 port SIM card slot Figure 10: Connection for SR-9120 Ground Connection To ensure safe operation of the product, a ground (earth) connection is required. For single phase AC power source, the product must be grounded by connecting the “earth wire” of the power cord to the grounding terminal of the AC supply.

INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR SR-9120 4 COMMISSIONING 4.1 MCU LED INDICATORS Three diagnostic LED indicators are located on the bottom of the enclosure. Each LED indicates the status of a particular function: Identifier Indication Colour ALARM System Alarm. ON = Alarm generated. OFF = No alarm Green Operation.
OMC software with remote connection to the equipment via a wireline/wireless modem. OMT software is based on Windows operation system, and is designed for monitoring and maintaining of Comba repeaters and boosters. For SR-9120 repeater, the OMT software performs the following functions: • Configures and adjusts the repeater’s operating parameters.
The DB9 interface mates with the ‘RS-485” Port, and the RJ-45 plug mates with a standard “female to female x8 way” RJ-45 socket adaptor (Comba ERP code : 102303-003005-00). Up to 32 Slave units can be cascaded in this manner.
• Direct serial link connection for local management • Remotely managing a group of SR-9120 units through wireless modem connection. Local Connection Local connection is achieved through connecting the serial port of PC to the RS-232 port of Master/Slave Unit via the supplied RS-232 cable. Local connection is set by default.

INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR SR-9120 5 OPERATION After nstallation and commissioning, occasional operational tasks to handle alarms may be required: Alarm Diagnosis Power Down/ Check AC power cable and verify AC mains supply is normal. During Power Fault alarm Power Fault alarm, DC power supply has no output voltage. Verify that the otput power is not overloaded or short-circuited.
Verify lightning and grounding protection is in good condition. • For Li-ion back-up battery, verify their state. Deeply discharged battery should be return to Comba for replacement. To check the Li-ion battery: switch off the AC power supply after operating for 24 hours. If the voltage of the Li-on battery drops to below 16V within one hour, the Li-ion battery has been over-discharged and replacement of the battery is recommended.
