1.2 Product Features

1. Excellent RF performance: FiberHome provides wireless
repeaters with state-of-the-art performance such as minimized noise
figure, time delay and IMD, excellent link balance and out-of-band
suppression.
2. Modular design: Modular design is easier for operators to make
upgrade and for maintenance.
3. Monitor and control (M&C): The interior M&C module is the core
to control the whole repeater and implements four functions: detection,
control, communication, and alarming. The standby battery on the M&C
board supports the normal running of the system.
4.

Perfect query, statistic and report: It can support query, statistic

and report for the history data including log, repeater data and query data
etc.

5.

Reliability: Industrial-level components are used, which can

sustain a temperature range of -25C ~ +55C (for outdoor repeater only)

so that the product can work reliably in a wide range of environments; the
power supply of the integrated system is designed with high redundancy to
make sure that the power module can work under normal load in 55C and
start normally in -25C; the repeater is provided with multi-level lightning
protection devices to ensure reliable lightning protection for the power
supply, antenna and feeder. The lightning protection device of the power
supply is a combination of a gas discharge tube and a piezo-resistor and
is designed with 2-level protection, so that it can absorb very high lightning
strike energy as well as remove residual voltage satisfactorily.
6.

Input power: Input power of repeater should follow the table

below.

Note: Repeater maybe can not reach its rated output power even
though its input power follows the table above, since output power is also
determined by system gain.

2.2 Project preparations

2.2.1 Users cooperation
Hongxins technicians will take charge of the equipment installation
and the users technicians should provide help if necessary. To ensure the
normal running and maintenance of the equipment, the users technicians
should proactively work together with Hongxins engineers and technicians
and get familiar with the installation, structure, cabling, debugging
procedure, etc.

2.2.2 On-site survey

Before installation, the installation technicians should consult
with the project manager of the user and learn whether the installation
site is ready for equipment installation. Specifically, they should survey
such items as the installation site, iron tower or high pole, surrounding
environment (temperature and humidity) and power supply. Where
conditions permit, they should make an on-site survey together with the
relevant persons of the user.

2.2.3 Installation tools

Installation tools include: electric percussion drill, iron hammer,
pulley, rope, safety belt, safety hat, ladder, screwdriver, hacksaw, knife,
pliers, spanner, compass, tape, tweezers, electric iron, etc.

2.3 Installation Conditions

2.3.1 Basic installation conditions
The repeater is designed to work outdoor under the temperature
-25~55 (5~40 for indoor repeater) and relative humidity up to
95%, so it can work in the indoor/outdoor natural environments in most
areas. The following basic conditions should be ready before installation:
1. 220V AC power is available.
2. A grounding bar is available nearby.
3. There are appropriate buildings, iron towers or high poles to
mount the donor antenna and service antenna.

User Manual
2. Installation
2.3.2 Recommended environment requirements
1. The installation height should be such as to facilitate RF cabling,
heat radiation, safety protection and maintenance.
2. Independent and stable power should be provided, which mustnt
be shared with other large-power communication equipment and electric
appliances.
3. The installation building, iron tower or high pole should be
provided with lightning protection facilities and should be strong and stable
enough.
4. The antenna backstay or roof should be provided with a pole
to help mount the antenna. The diameter of the pole may be 50mm ~
105mm, depending on the antenna to be mounted. A ladder should also
be available to help mount the antenna. All metal parts should be properly
grounded and provided with lightning protection facilities.

2.4 Equipment Check

2.4.1 Counting the goods
Check whether the packing box is intact in appearance. If any goods
are wrong or missing or if the outer package is damaged seriously, stop
unpacking immediately and find out the cause, and report to the relevant
department.

2.4.2 Unpacking inspection

Open the packing box if it is intact. Handle with care to avoid
damaging anything.
After the packing box is opened, check whether the goods inside
match the packing list and whether the packing list matches the inspection
list in the Unpacking Inspection Report. If any goods are wrong or missing
or if the outer package is damaged seriously, find out the cause, and
report to the relevant department.
After unpacking inspection, fill out the Unpacking Inspection
Report. Both parties shall sign the Report, and then the goods shall

Page

be handed over to the user. Each party shall hold one copy of the
Unpacking Inspection Report, and the project supervisor should feed
back the Inspection Conclusion within seven days to the vendor for
documentation.

2.5 Installation of the Main Chassis of the Repeater

The Repeater is attached with such installation fittings as installation
board and fixing pieces. The chassis of the Repeater can be mounted
either on the wall or on a high pole
The bottom of the equipment is usually about 1.2 m above the
ground.
Your repeater should be one of the following cases.

4.Maintenance
4. Maintenance
Generally, theres no need to maintain specially after opening.
Though the Monitor & Maintenance Center can query the equipments
statue directly, we still advise an ordinary regular checking:
Check whether the cables, the fixtures, power connection are good
or not. If there is any problem, solve it immediately.
Make sure the lightning protection system and grounding are good
Check the equipments power supply.
Test and record the equipment main specifications regularly(such as
downlink output power, uplink gain, downlink gain, etc)
Test the uplink output Noise Level, and compare its value with the
record. If their difference is too large, find out the solution.
Test the coverage effect of whether the system is expected initially
or not.
Check the monitoring performance
Check all kinds of labels of the equipment are integrated or not.
Notes: If there is any problem with the equipments, solve it in time
and record it, or contact with us.
