The following are specific Cautions and Warnings that must be followed when installing or
operating equipment.
• Please read all instructions before attempting to install any equipment. Failure to
follow directions can cause bodily injury and/or damage to the equipment.
• Ensure that precautionary measures are employed to prevent applying power to
equipment at any time maintenance work is in progress.
• Do not make any unauthorized alterations to equipment or components. Changes or
modifications not expressly approved by Cooper Notification can result in damage
to the equipment and will void the warranty.
• When working near electricity do not use metal rules, flashlights, metallic pencils, or
any other object having exposed conducting material.
• Ensure all electrical connections are secure before applying power to a unit. Failure
to secure connections may cause an electrical arc resulting in physical shock or
damage to the equipment.
• Do not touch electronic components with wet hands.
• When possible, avoid installing equipment during severe or wet conditions.
Handling equipment with wet hands may cause slippage resulting in bodily injury
and/or damage to equipment.
• Comply with all electrical codes per the local authority having jurisdiction.

Installation
The installation of the power amplifier shall be conducted by qualified service personnel. To ensure
compliance with mandatory codes and standards all instructions listed in this document should be
followed.
For installations other than military applications, the use of the amplifier must meet EIRP (Effective
Isotropic Radiated Power) requirements mandated by the FCC. This section provides the basic
information required to define and calculate EIRP.
1. Calculate Transmission Line Loss including connector loss. Refer to section 6.1.1 for typical
loss when using LMR coax cable.
2. Identify the type of antenna in use. Refer to Table 3 for approved antenna types and their
respective gains.
3. Calculate the EIRP of the antenna being used. Refer to section 6.1.2 for EIRP formula.
4. If the calculated EIRP exceeds the FCC’s maximum EIRP rating, determine the additional
transmission line loss needed to adjust the EIRP to meet the FCC Rules. Refer to Table 4 for
EIRP values using the AMP-RF-1 amplifier.
Each installation is unique therefore it is the responsibility of the service personnel to ensure proper
installation.

Installation
Calculating Transmission Line Loss and EIRP
To calculate EIRP, the total transmission line loss between the amplifier and the antenna is required.
In some cases a minimum line loss is required to meet the FCC EIRP requirements. Refer to Table 4
for additional information to adjust EIRP.
6.1
Transmission Line Loss
6.1.1
Approximately0.22 dB per connector
(Refer to specific connector type for actual loss)
Connector loss:
LMR-240 has a 0.13 dB loss per foot
LMR-400 has a 0.07 dB loss per foot
LMR-600 has a 0.04 dB loss per foot
Coax Cable Loss:
Determining Transmission Line Loss requires knowledge of the cable type being used as well as the
type and quantity of connectors in the cable run between the amplifier and the antenna. Typical loss
values for LMR coax cable are listed below. However, the installer should calculate cable loss in
accordance with the appropriate cable and connectors being used.
Table 2 identifies the calculated line loss for LMR-240, 400, and 600 for various cable lengths.

The formula for calculating EIRP is as follows:
EIRP (dBm) = amplifier output power (dBm) – transmission line loss (dB) + antenna gain (dBi)

Maximum and Adjusted EIRP
Table 4 below identifies compatible antennas, antenna gain, maximum EIRP and required
transmission line loss (as applicable).
When determining cable lengths to meet transmission line loss between the amplifier and the
antenna, if the cable distance is exceedingly long and does not provide adequate attenuation, it is
acceptable to add fixed 50 ohm external attenuators to ensure the required EIRP is met.

Line Loss between CRLU/TRX and Amplifier
Transmission line loss between the CRLU/TRX and the amplifier is also critical; the minimum
amplifier input power should be no less than 5 dBm and should be adjusted accordingly.
Amp input power (dBm) = CRLU/TRX output power (dBm) – Transmission Line Loss (dB)
Wiring the Amplifier
Refer to the Amplifier Connection Diagram, Figure 3 below, while completing the installation steps.

Labeling Instructions
1. For security measures, it is recommended however not required, to mount the amplifier
in an enclosure.
2. The location of the amplifier is to be determined by qualified service personnel only. As
mentioned previously, input/output power, line loss, and antenna gain should all be
considered when identifying a location.
3. The amplifier supply must be powered from a 110 – 240 VAC, 50 – 60 Hz 15A power
source using the provided Class II power supply.
Amplifier Location
6.2.1
Provisions should be considered to provide backup power to the amplifier in case of power
failure.
Wiring from the CRLU/TRX to the Amplifier
6.2.2
1. Connect one end of the LMR coax cable to the N-Connector located on the top panel of
the CRLU/TRX.
2. Connect the other end of the LMR cable to the amplifier using the N connector on the
amplifier labeled Radio.
Wiring from the Amplifier to the Antenna
6.2.3
1. Connect one end of the LMR coax cable to the amplifier using the N connector on the
amplifier labeled Antenna.
2. Connect the other end of the LMR cable to the input of the antenna.
Powering the Amplifier
6.2.4
Input power to the amplifier is 12 VDC; DO NOT power the amplifier from the +15
VDC source on the CRLU/TRX; this may damage the equipment and void the
warranty.
1. Plug the amplifier’s power supply into an AC outlet. Plug the other end of the power
cable into the DC Power connection located at the top of the amplifier as indicated in
Figures 2 and 3.
2. If a signal is present at the amplifier, the TX and RX LEDs on the front of the amplifier
will be lit accordingly.
It is recommended that the amplifier and related equipment be provided with a Back-Up
power source to ensure operations are not disrupted when AC Power is lost.
Labeling Instructions
7.
Installation Instruction Sheet: AMP-RF-1
P/N P10-00071 Rev A
The FCC ID: X2PAMPRF-1 label included with the amplifier must be installed on the amplifier’s
CRLU-201 or TRX-401 access point. The placement of this label must cover the existing FCC ID
label on the front cover of the access point.
