PDR8000® Portable Digital Repeater and Booster Pack Deployment Guide
Configuration 2 – PDR8000 Internal Duplexer with Booster
Pack Configuration
Step 1 – Preparing PDR8000 for Booster Pack
Use this configuration when PDR8000 has an internal duplexer
in a full duplex operation with a single antenna. The following steps shall be followed in
sequence and is depicted in Figure 32.
1. On PDR8000, open the top panel cover as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7
2. Connect RF cable labelled RX to the RX connector of the duplexer
3. Connect the RF cable labelled RF IN to the TX connector of the duplexer
4. Connect RF cable labelled TX to the cable labelled RF OUT
5. Connect the RF cable labelled ANT to the ANT connector of the duplexer
6. Close the top panel cover

Note 1: If the PDR8000 Duplexer is changed, the 'Duplexer Losses' field values in FRC must be verified to match the 'Duplexer
Losses' reading on the Duplexer's Label (for Motorola Duplexers). For Duplexers from different manufacturer, please refer to the
manufacturer's specification for Duplexer losses and enter them into the FRC 'Duplexer Losses' fields. To make this easier, it is
possible to create different 'Deployment Profiles' for each duplexer (if multiple Duplexers are being used). The user then has to
merely select the appropriate Deployment Profile when inserting a different Duplexer. (Refer to PDR8000 Programming Guide
8K088X04).
Step 2 – Connect the AUX Cable
The AUX cable is used for PDR8000 to detect and communicate with the Booster Pack.
Depending on the revision of PDR8000, the AUX connector on the side panel may have either a
6-PIN or 8-PIN connector as shown in Figure 33.
