KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance
KIRK Repeaters
The KIRK Repeater is a building block to be
used to extend the coverage area in a KIRK
solution. The repeater does not increase the
number of traffic channels, however it
provides a larger physical spreading of the
traffic channels and thereby increases the
coverage area established with the KIRK Base
Stations. The repeaters are mainly used in
areas with limited traffic. The KIRK Repeater
is available with either 2 or 4 voice channels. It
is wireless and does not need physical
connection to the KIRK Wireless Server,
making it very easy to install. The repeaters
can be supplied with an external antenna
making it possible to create radio coverage in
a remote area without cabling to the rest of the installation. .
When deploying, KIRK Repeaters must be installed within the coverage area of the host
Base Station. The RSSI value of the hosting Base Station, (measured at the installation
point of the Repeater), must be 90 or greater.
Repeaters require a standard 120V AC power outlet within 1.8 meters / 6 feet of
placement.
Up to six KIRK Repeaters may be synchronized to a single KIRK Base Station, and a
maximum of 96 Repeaters may be used on a KWS1500.
Repeaters may be configured in multi-cell configuration with multiple Repeaters
assigned to a single Base Station, or in a linear configuration with up to three Repeaters
in a chain.
The Service Tool software is required to program Repeaters. See Service Tool Program
Administration Guide.
