  • Page 10: Chapter 1 Pre-Installation Considerations

    Installation Overview The following information is an overview for installing the VXD-R70 Repeater and ancillary equipment. • Plan the installation, paying particular attention to environmental conditions at the site, ventila- tion requirements, and grounding and lightning protection.
  • Page 11: Equipment Ventilation

    Appropriate consideration of equipment ratings should be used when addressing this concern. Equipment Mounting Methods The VXD-R70 Repeater may be mounted in a rack, bracket or cabinet (available as accessories). Site Grounding and Lightning Protection Proper site grounding and lightning protection are vitally important consider- ations.
  • Page 12: Lightning Ground

    Chapter 1 Pre-Installation Considerations 1.6.3 Lightning Ground Providing adequate lightning protection is critical to a safe reliable communications site. RF trans- mission cables, and AC and DC power lines must all be protected to prevent lightning energy from entering the site. Comprehensive coverage of site grounding techniques and lightning protection is not within the scope of this instruction manual, but there are several excellent industry sources for rules and guidelines on grounding and lightning protection at communications sites.

    Chapter 4 Electrical Connections Chapter 4 Electrical Connections After the VXD-R70 Repeater has been mechanically installed, electrical connections must be made. This involves making the following connections: • AC power cord, and • antenna coaxial cables Figure 4-1 shows the position of the various connectors and connections on the rear panel of the repeater.
  • Page 18: Ground Connection

    4.1.3 Battery Backup Connection The VXD-R70 Repeater offers the capability of connecting to battery backup power in the event of an AC power failure. The battery backup system is connected to the repeater through the DC connector mounted at the rear of the repeater (see Figure 4-2).
  • Page 19: Rf Antenna Connections

    Chapter 4 Electrical Connections RF Antenna Connections The transmit and receive antenna RF connection are made using two separate connectors. Coaxial cables from the receive and transmit antenna must be connected to the Type-N (Tx) and BNC (Rx) connectors. The position of these connectors is shown in Figure 4-1. For repeater use, the anten- nas need adequate isolation between them, or if one antenna is used, the duplexer needs to have adequate isolation between the Tx and Rx ports.
