Installation Overview
The information below is an overview for installing the repeater and auxiliary equipment. 
  Unpack and inspect the equipment. 
  Perform a pre-installation function check test of the equipment, and configure 
parameters. 
  Pay particular attention to environmental conditions at the site, ventilation 
requirements, and grounding and lightning protection. 
  Install the equipment at the site. 
  Make necessary electrical and cabling connections, including the following: 
- DC power cord
- Coaxial cables to TX and RX antennas (if you use two antennas) 
  Perform a post-installation function check test of the equipment, to verify proper 
installation. 
Before Installation
Before you install the repeater at the site, you are suggested to power on the repeater and 
check it for proper operation. 
1. Applying Power
Before applying power to the repeater, make sure the voltage of DC power supply or 
battery is compliant with the operating voltage range of the repeater. Then connect the DC 
power supply or battery to supply power to the repeater. 
2.  Verifying Proper Operation
Operation of the repeater can be indicated by the 8 LEDs located on the front panel. After 
proper operation is verified, you can configure parameters for the repeater. 
  Caution: Some repeater components can become extremely hot during operation. 
Turn off all power and wait until the repeater is sufficiently cool before touching the 
repeater. 
3. Configuring Parameters

8
You may customize repeater parameters such as TX/RX frequency, TX power and 
signalling, according to user needs. After configuration of parameters is complete, you 
may perform site installation. 
Installation Requirements  
1.  Environmental Conditions at Intended Installation Site
The repeater may be installed in any location suitable for electronic communication 
equipment, provided that the environmental conditions do not exceed the equipment 
specifications for temperature, humidity and air quality. 
 Operating Temperature 
-30ć to +60ć
This is the temperature measured in close proximity to the repeater. For example, if the 
repeater is mounted in a cabinet, the temperature within the cabinet is measured. 
 Humidity
Humidity conditions should not exceed 95% relative humidity @ 50°C. 
 Air Quality 
For equipment operating in an area which is environmentally controlled and with the 
repeater rack mounted, the airborne particle level must not exceed 25ȝg/m3. 
And for equipment operating in an area which is not environmentally controlled and with 
the repeater cabinet mounted, the airborne particle level must not exceed 90ȝg/m3. 
  Caution: If the repeater is to be installed in an area which is usually dusty, dirty, or 
does not meet the air quality requirements, then the air used to cool the repeater modules 
must be treated using appropriate filtering devices. Dust or dirt accumulated on the 
internal circuit boards and modules is not easily removed, and can cause malfunctions 
such as overheating and intermittent electrical connections. 
2. Equipment Ventilation 
The PA heatsink is equipped with a cooling fan used to provide forced convection cooling. 
When planning the installation, observe the following ventilation guidelines: 
  Customer supplied cabinets must be equipped with ventilation slots or openings for 

9
air to enter and exit. If several repeaters are installed in a single cabinet, ensure 
ventilation openings surrounding each repeater allow for adequate cooling. 
  All cabinets must have at least 10cm of open space between the air vents and any 
wall or other objects. 
  When multiple cabinets (each equipped with several repeaters) are installed in an 
enclosed area, ensure appropriate ventilation and consider air conditioning or other 
climate control equipment, to satisfy the temperature requirements stated above. 
3. Equipment Installation Methods 
The RD980 repeater may be mounted in a rack, bracket or cabinet, and may be placed on 
your desk. 
4.  Site Grounding and Lightning Protection 
 Caution: Proper site grounding and lightning protection are vitally important 
considerations. Failure to provide proper lightning protection may result in permanent 
damage to the repeater. 
The ground and lightning protection system is one of the most important considerations 
when designing a communication site. Proper grounding techniques and lightning 
protection are closely related, and the general category of site grounding may be divided 
into the following two sections:   
 Electrical Ground  
Ground wires carrying electrical current from circuitry or equipment at the site are included 
in the category of electrical ground. Examples include the AC and DC power used to 
source equipment located at the site, and wires or cables connected to alarms or sensors 
located at the site.   
 Lightning Ground 
Providing adequate lightning protection is critical to a safe reliable communication site. 
The repeater is equipped with a ground screw located on the rear panel. This screw is 
used to connect the repeater to the site grounding. All antenna cables, and AC and DC 
power cords, should be properly grounded and lightning protected by following the rules 
and guidelines provided in the above sections. 

10
Installation Steps
You will need a Philips screwdriver (cross head screwdriver), a Torx (T10) screwdriver and 
a spanner, to install the repeater. 
  Caution: Be sure to observe proper electrostatic discharge precautions if any part 
must be removed from the repeater.   
The installation steps are as follows: 
1.  Mount the repeater in a rack, bracket or cabinet.   
2.  Connect accessories such as antenna cables and power cords to the repeater.  
If a duplexer needs to be mounted 
If the repeater needs to work with a duplexer, your will need to implement the following 
installation steps prior to the above steps 1 and 2.   
1.  Loosen the three screws on the bracket with a Philips screwdriver. 
2.  Install the optional duplexer and the bracket. Be sure to observe the specifications of 
the two antenna connectors on the duplexer, to determine which connector should be 
connected to the transmitter. Ensure the antenna connector connected to the 
transmitter is beside the rear panel of the repeater. 
Take Hytera supplied duplexer as an example. If the transmitter is connected to the 
low cavity connector, the duplexer should be mounted with the front side facing 
upwards (see the following figure on the left); and if it is connected to the high cavity 
connector, the duplexer should be mounted with the front side facing downwards (see 
the following figure on the right). 

11
3.  Loosen the screw at the back of the top cover, and then pull the top cover to remove 
it. 
4.  Loosen the 6 screws locking the PA heatsink, remove all power, data and RF cables 
from the PA, and finally remove the PA heatsink. 
5.  Mount the duplexer, and fasten the 2 screws inside the housing and on the side panel 
respectively. Then mount the PA heatsink, and connect all the lines and cables. 

12
Ensure RF cables are properly connected between the duplexer and RF 
connectors. 
TX signal: 
Excitor module -> PA module -> Duplexer TX connector -> Duplexer antenna connector -> 
RX/duplex antenna connector (rear panel)
RX signal:

Electrical Connections
After the repeater has been mechanically installed, electrical connections must be made. 
This involves making the following connections: 
z  DC power cord
z Antenna cables
See the rear panel view for the positions of connectors. 
Power Supply Connections
1. Ground Connection 
The repeater is equipped with a ground screw located on the rear panel. Connect ground 
wires to the screw. 
2.  DC Power Supply or Battery Backup Connection 

14
The repeater may be connected to a regulated DC power supply or a backup battery. 
The DC source or battery backup system is connected to the repeater through the DC 
power inlet at the rear of the repeater (see rear panel view). 
  Caution: Before you make the connection, ensure the DC power supply or battery 
backup system is capable of supplying a minimum of 200W, and check if the DC power 
supply has current limit. Since high current consumption is required for transmitting, 
improper setting of the current limit may cause transmission failure. 
 Caution: The repeater is to be connected to a battery that is in accordance with 
applicable electrical regulations for the end use country. If battery power is exhausted, you 
are recommended to charge the battery with an external charger. Remove the battery 
from the repeater when charging. 
RF Antenna Connections  
TX and RX antennas are connected to two separate connectors (shown in the rear panel 
view), and there must be adequate isolation of 75 dB UHF or 85 dB VHF between them. If 
only one antenna through a duplexer is connected, at least 75 dB UHF or 85 dB VHF 
isolation between the TX and RX antenna ports is required.
  Caution: Please ensure that all power is switched off before disconnecting the TX 
antenna. 
1. Duplexer Selection 
The selection of duplexer is critical to system performance. The use of a notch (band 
reject) duplexer is possible in some systems that are not located at high RF density sites. 
If the repeater is used in high RF density sites, the use of a pass-notch duplexer is 
recommended. 
The duplexer must be able to handle at least 50W continuously. For the best system 
performance, the insertion loss should be less than 2dB. 

15
2. Antenna Selection 
The selection of antenna is also critical to system performance. The selected antenna 
must be 50 Ohm impedance and capable of at least 50W. High gain antennas may be 
used to increase system coverage. Please take note of licensing restrictions when 
selecting high gain antennas. Some services or regions may have antenna gain or system 
radiation limitations. 
The antenna must be connected to the duplexer with a high grade 50 Ohm transmission 
line (e.g. Andrew HELIAX cables). The line must have connectors to match the 
connectors on the duplexer and antenna. 
Caution: It is important that all antenna cables are grounded at the point they enter 
the building. All aspects of the antenna design must comply with the relevant local 
regulations. 
Post-Installation Checklist 
After the repeater has been mechanically installed and all electrical connections have 
been made, power may now be applied and the repeater should be checked for proper 
operation. 
1. Applying Power
