4. Home/Office Installation
Review pre-installation considerations and determine site installation plan.
1. Install supplied outside antenna (PN 288-PW) to vertical surface or pole with
supplied hardware. Mount the outside antenna clear of metal objects and
obstructions. Outside antenna must be mounted in a vertical position. Antennas
must be separated by a structure and a 40’ or greater distance with as much
vertical separation as possible. Vertical separation is better than horizontal.
WARNING!
Only Digital Antenna authorized products may be used with the
4KSBR-50U system. Using unauthorized equipment will harm the
4KSBR-50U system, can be detected and voids the warranty.
2. On supplied 50’ cable (PN 340-50NM) (or optional 25’ extension cable or 75’ or
100’ replacement
PowerMax TM
cable) attach N male connector to N female
connector on outside antenna. Secure cable to the side of the building with
appropriate fasteners (not supplied). Route cable according to site installation plan
to the DA4000SBR unit.
3. Attach mini-UHF male connector at the end of the supplied 50’ cable to
DA4000SBR unit on the port labeled outside antenna. Attach the 6’ cable
attached to the inside antenna and stand to the port labeled inside antenna. The
inside antenna must be operated in a vertical position. DO NOT turn the
repeater on until antennas and cables are securely attached.
4. The DA4000SBR unit has four mounting holes that can be fastened to a secure
surface. (fastening hardware not included)
5. Plug 100-240VAC power supply to the DA4000SBR unit. Plug the other end into
standard household 110VAC receptacle.
6. Turn the power switch to ON. If the light on the DA4000SBR unit is green and
the coverage area is greater than 1-2’ then the 4KSBR-50U system is operating.
Test the amplifier/repeater system by making a cell call and verifying that the
repeater indicator light does not turn red. If the light on the DA4000SBR unit
turns red immediately turn OFF the DA4000SBR unit and refer to the
Amplifier/Repeater status section.
The repeater system only amplifies existing outside cell signal; it does NOT
create a cell signal. If no outside signal is present, the repeater has no signal to
amplify. The outside antenna should be mounted as high as possible to capture the
available cell signal.
Inside Coverage area is based upon outside signal strength.
A weak outside signal (-90dB) will provide less inside
coverage area than a stronger outside signal (-70dB).
To increase coverage area, use one of Digital Antenna’s high
gain outside and/or inside directional antennas (pg 15)
