This compensates for weak reception caused by distance, topography, building structure, etc. The BDA receives the signal from an outside antenna, amplifies that signal, and then rebroadcasts it via antenna(s) inside the building, where it can then be picked up by radios inside. In the reverse direction, interior antennas also pick up signals coming from radios, where they are amplified by the BDA, and then passed to the exterior antenna for rebroadcast back to the tower.

Planning the Installation 3.2 Exterior Antenna Overview The recommended Yagi antenna (SC-288W) receives and transmits signals over a focused area. It must be aimed directly (line of sight) toward the radio tower that provides the strongest signal to the building. The exterior antenna and mast (if any) must be mounted in a location that meets all of the following criteria: Choose a mounting location for the exterior antenna.The recommended SC-288W Yagi directional antenna is, pointed directly at the radio tower (line of sight). The antenna is typically mounted on the wall or roof of the side of the building with the strongest signal. A grounded lightning protector is required between the exterior antenna and the BDA. 2. Next, choose the mounting location of the interior antenna(s), being sure to take separation requirements into account. Long, narrow spaces benefit most from directional flat-panel antennas, while more square spaces benefit more from omnidirectional dome antennas. • Best signal strength. • Not co-located with other antennas or used in conjunction with other antennas. • Away from all power lines. Proceed with a ‘soft installation’ connecting components without securing their placement until testing can be • At least 6 ft. from lightning rod antennas. completed. • At least 8 in. from any person. 6. Power on the BDA and perform configuration and testing explained in Chapter 5. 7. Complete installation by securing the placement of the BDA, antennas and other components, These distances are general guidelines only. Refer to the applicable building and electrical codes in your area to determine specific local requirements. 3. Choose where to mount the BDA. This should be in a secure indoor location near a grounded power source. 4. Map the cabling route between the exterior antenna and the BDA and between the BDA and interior antennas. 5. Important Installation Safety Precautions: • The exterior antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna. • Always use a properly installed SureCall lightning protector between the exterior antenna and the BDA. • Always power off the BDA before working on the roof of the building, or anywhere in close proximity to the external antenna. • Comply with all antenna separation requirements to prevent signal oscillation. 3.3 Interior Antenna Overview You may use any combination of omnidirectional (dome) and/or directional (flat panel) interior antennas to obtain balanced signal strength throughout the structure. CAUTION: FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL A LIGHTNING PROTECTOR CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE BDA, ANTENNAS, AND WIRING. CAUTION: SIGNAL OSCILLATION CAN CAUSE RADIO INTERFERENCE WITH RADIO TOWERS AND RESULT IN CIVIL AND/OR CRIMINAL PENALTIES. 16 SureCall | 48346 Milmont Drive, Fremont CA 94538 | 1-888-365-6283 | support@surecall.com SureCall | 48346 Milmont Drive, Fremont CA 94538 | 1-888-365-6283 | support@surecall.com 17 Planning the Installation Dome antennas provide 360-degree hemispherical coverage suitable for mostly square areas, while flat panel antennas provide a focused zone of coverage suitable for long narrow areas. The example above uses two dome antennas and one panel antenna to provide full coverage Keep in mind that floor structures in multistory buildings can cause significant signal loss, which means that you may need to install interior antennas on more than one floor. Here is an example of a multistory installation: Planning the Installation horizontally, try raising the exterior antenna. You may also try reducing the BDA gain as described in Chapter 5 of this manual. Antenna Safety Precautions: You can mix and match dome and directional antennas as needed to obtain proper coverage throughout the building or area where you need to boost the signal. If you use a Yagi exterior antenna, you should normally aim it away from all interior antennas, regardless of separation, to prevent oscillation. Antenna Aiming CAUTION: SIGNAL OSCILLATION CAN CAUSE RADIO INTERFERENCE WITH RADIO TOWERS AND RESULT IN CIVIL AND/OR CRIMINAL PENALTIES. OK Note: You may not need antennas on every floor of a multistory building, depending on factors such as building material, BDA gain, etc. 3.4 Antenna Separation Proper antenna separation prevents signal oscillation (feedback) that can interfere with the radio tower. Separation is measured in a straight line from the exterior antenna to the closest interior antenna. The closest allowable distance depends on a number of factors, such as BDA gain level, building material, etc. Recommended separation distances are: Select an indoor location for the BDA that meets the following criteria: • Away from tightly enclosed or overly hot spaces • Near a properly grounded 110VAC outlet • Power and warning lights are easily visible • Shortest possible cable runs to all antennas 3.6 Accessories The final step in the planning process is to make sure you have all of the necessary accessories to complete the installation. You will need all of the items listed in Chapter 1 of this manual plus some or all of the following: Amplifier gain Min. separation (ad) 40 dB 5’-6’ 45 dB 15’-20’ 50 dB 50’ 55 dB 60’ 65 dB 75-80’ 70 dB 100’ 75 dB 100’-120’ CAUTION: YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING 80 dB 120’-180’ THAT THE INSTALLATION MEETS ALL APPLICABLE Vertical separation is more important than horizontal separation.

Follow all instructions included with the antenna(s) to ensure the installation(s) are done properly. Mount the Guardian2 QR as follows: • Verify that the selected location meets all criteria described in the previous chapter. Here are a few reminders and essential steps: • Mount a 24 inch x 24 inch x 3⁄4 inch thick sheet of plywood on top of sheetrock, secured into wall studs where the NEMA housing is to be placed. The plywood should be flush against wall. • Dome antennas are mounted on the ceiling as close to the center of the desired coverage area as possible, domed (convex) side pointing down. • • Flat panel antennas should be wall-mounted as close as possible to the center of the wall, or at one end of long narrow space. Once the plywood is secure, attach the NEMA housing to the plywood base using the screws provided. In most installations, the housing will be oriented so the I/O ports are facing down. • • Mount the antenna. Connect the outdoor antenna cable to the signal booster connector port marked OUTSIDE and tighten the connection. • Connect a length of cable to the antenna and tighten until hand-tight. • • If you are installing multiple antennas, run the cable to the splitter location and connect the cable to one of the outputs on the splitter. Connect the outdoor antenna cable to the signal booster connector port marked INSIDE and tighten the connection. • Connect another length of cable to the input side of the splitter (if used) and run this cable to the BDA location. • It is important to keep the cable runs equal or use taps to ensure a harmonious install. CAUTION: DO NOT POWER ON THE BDA UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO. CAUTION: VERIFY THAT ALL INTERIOR ANTENNAS MEET THE SEPARATION REQUIREMENTS DESCRIBED IN THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER, AND THAT NO ANTENNA IS AIMED TOWARD THE EXTERIOR ANTENNA.

DURING CONFUGURATION, you may add gain incrementally until the signal level has improved enough to meet safety requirements. 1 2 4 8 16 PS700-DL Additive combination effects: 11dB2 Switch 2 3 4 5 2 dB Switch 3 4 dB Switch 4 Switch 5 8 dB 16 dB 1 2 4 8 16 PS-UL • Switch 1 (1 dB) + Switch 2 (2 dB) = 3 dB attenuation • Switch 1 (1 dB) + Switch 2 (2 dB) + Switch 3 (4 dB) = 7 dB attenuation • Switch 1 (1 dB) + Switch 2 (2 dB) + Switch 3 (4 dB) + Switch 4 (8 dB) = 15 dB attenuation • Switch 1 (1 dB) + Switch 2 (2 dB) + Switch 3 (4 dB) + Switch 4 (8 dB) + Switch 5 (16 dB) = 31 dB attenuation Note that red flashing lights indicate the system has detected oscillation for the corresponding channel(s). The band will turn off (stop working) if adjustments are not made. When adjusting booster attenuation, full power is not always the best option. The goal is to obtain a signal level througout the building that meets safety requirements. 24 SureCall | 48346 Milmont Drive, Fremont CA 94538 | 1-888-365-6283 | support@surecall.com SureCall | 48346 Milmont Drive, Fremont CA 94538 | 1-888-365-6283 | support@surecall.com 25 Configuration and Testing Configuration and Testing 6.2 LED Conditions A few practical attenuation examples: Important Note: Turn ALL uplink attenuations dip switches to ON and adjust them back one step at a time until uplink connectivity is made with the Emergency Radio Tower. LED LED Resolution -- OFF Normal operation. When the light is off, it means things are normal and that the band is active. Color Condition • Turning all switches OFF = 0 dB attenuation (booster is at full gain). • Turning ON switch #1 in a bank = 1 dB attenuation (booster maximum gain is reduced by 1 dB). • Turning ON switches #1, 3, and 5 in a bank = 1+4+16 dB attenuation = 21 dB attenuation. For example, in an 80 dB booster, the selected channel is reduced to 59 dB (80 dB -21 dB). Yellow Solid Normal operation. The frequency band is not in use. Eventually, the band will enter sleep mode. • Turning ON all switches in a bank = 1+2+4+8+16 dB attenuation = 31 dB attenuation. For example, in an 80 dB booster, the selected channel is reduced to 49 dB (80 dB-31 dB). Yellow Flashing Normal operation. The Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is self-adjusting. Red Flashing The booster is receiving too much signal which can cause the affected band to automatically turn off. If this happens: • If any of the bands are oscillating, the corresponding band lights (1 and/or 2) will flash red and that band will eventually shut down if adjustments are not made. Note: In general, the uplink and downlink DIP switches should be set identically but this is not always the case. CHAPTER 6: TESTING AND TROUBLESHOOTING 6.1 Band LED Conditions This section will help you interpret the LED indicators on your Guardian2 QR. But first, here are a few configuration and testing points to keep in mind: • If the control light for a specific frequency band is flashing red or red-yellow, try increasing the antenna separation between the inside and outside antennas as much as possible first, then restarting the booster. • Avoid setting the gain below 35 dB, as this could cause the affected frequency band to stop amplifying. SureCall | 48346 Milmont Drive, Fremont CA 94538 | 1-888-365-6283 | support@surecall.com 1. Turn the outside Yagi antenna in short increments away from the signal source. 3. Add an inline attenuator to the cable connected to the Outside port on the booster. 2. When the BDA is powered on, the green Power Light (3) should illuminate. 26 LED INDICATIONS Increase the separation between antennas (more vertical separation works best). Red Solid The associated frequency band is off. If the red light flashes for a long time (caused by too much signal), and then turns solid red, it means the associated frequency band has been turned off. This will happen if the gain dial for that frequency band has been turned all the way down. Yellow/ Red Flashes Self-oscillation has been prevented. alternating 1. Increase the separation between the inside and outside antennas. If your booster kit uses two colors directional antennas (example: outside Yagi antenna and inside panel antenna), ensure that they are facing away from each other. 2. If the condition continues, increase attenuation in small increments until the light turns off or flashes yellow. Refer to your Sentry Monitoring Software for more information about LED codes. Meanwhile, if you have any questions during setup, please reach out to our U.S.-based support technicians: Call: 1-888-365-6283 Email: support@surecall.com 6.3 Testing & Troubleshooting Once the booster is powered on (and no Warning lights are on), assess the signal in locations of needed signal improvement. Refine the antenna locations and/or gain levels as needed, then complete the permanent installation when you are confident the system will perform well. A few tips and some perspective: • It’s not realistic to expect full reception everywhere in the building. • As a general rule, increasing gain by 6dB doubles the coverage distance of the interior antennas. Start at the lowest gain and increase gradually as needed. • If one or more red Warning lights comes on, it indicates there is oscillation in that band and adjustments are needed • If you can’t get the coverage reasonably well-balanced, you may need to install an additional interior antenna and/or a different type of interior antenna and/or relocate interior antennas.
