EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS
WORD
RWARNING
CAUTION
NOTE

DEFINITION
Personal injury, fire hazard or electric
shock may occur.
Equipment damage may occur.
If disregarded, inconvenience only. No risk
of personal injury, fire or electric shock.

PRECAUTIONS
R WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER at-

tach an antenna or internal antenna connector during
transmission. This may result in an electrical shock or
burn.

R WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE! NEVER in-

stall the antenna at any place that person touch the
antenna easily during transmission. This may result in
an electrical shock or burn.

R WARNING! NEVER apply AC to the DC

power receptacle on the repeater rear panel. This
could cause a fire or damage the repeater.

R WARNING! NEVER apply more than 16 V DC,

such as a 24 V battery, to the DC power receptacle
on the repeater rear panel. This could cause a fire or
damage the repeater.

R CAUTION! NEVER let metal, wire or other objects touch any internal part or connectors on the rear
panel of the repeater. This may result in an electric
shock.

Place the repeater in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children.
BE CAREFUL! The heatsink will become hot when
operating the repeater continuously for long periods.
BE CAREFUL! If a linear amplifier is connected, set
the repeater’s RF output power to less than the linear
amplifier’s maximum input level, otherwise, the linear
amplifier will be damaged.
Use Icom microphones only (optional). Other manufacturer’s microphones have different pin assignments, and connection to the repeater may damage
the repeater.
Icom optional equipment is designed for optimal performance when used with this repeater. We are not
responsible for the repeater being damaged or any
accident caused when using non-Icom optional equipment.

R CAUTION! NEVER expose the repeater to
rain, snow or any liquids.

DO NOT use or place the repeater in areas with temperatures below –25°C or above +55°C. Be aware
that temperatures can exceed +80°C, resulting in
permanent damage to the repeater if left there for extended periods.
DO NOT place the repeater in excessively dusty environments or in direct sunlight.
DO NOT put anything on top of the repeater. This will
obstruct heat dissipation.

■ Unpacking

■ Antenna connection

After unpacking, immediately report any damage to
the delivering carrier or dealer. Keep the shipping cartons.

For radio communications, the antenna is a critical
component, along with output power and sensitivity.
Select antenna(s), such as a well-matched 50 ˘ antenna, and feedline. 1.5:1 or better of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is recommended for desired
band. Of course, the transmission line should be a
coaxial cable.

For a description and a diagram of accessory equipment included with the repeater, see ‘SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES’ on p. ii of this manual.

■ Selecting a location
Select a location for the repeater that allows adequate
air circulation, free from extreme heat, cold, or vibrations, and away from TV sets, TV antenna elements,
radios and other electromagnetic sources.

 AUTION: Protect repeater from lightning by using
C
a lightning arrestor.

INSTALLATION NOTES
• Compliance of base station transmitter installations with EN50385
The installation of this equipment and it’s associated
antenna should be made in such a manner as to respect the EC recommended electromagnetic (EM)
field exposure limits. (1999/519/EC)
In order not to exceed these exposure limits it is necessary to determine the ‘Compliance Boundary,’ that
means the volume within which the EM field radiated
by the transmitter/antenna installation may exceed the
1999/519/EC limits. You will then need to ensure that
members of the general public do not have access
within this area. The actual Compliance Boundary for
this repeater will be totally dependant on the antenna,
feeder, RF amplifier and other passive or active devices used in the installation.
The RF output power of this repeater is 25 watts.
The figures contained in this guide are based on the
recommended limits for the general public and are
obtained by ‘worst case’ numerical analysis. For a definitive evaluation of any given installation, measurements should be made with an EM field meter and a
broadband calibrated probe.
• Installation
The antenna should be installed as high as possible
for maximum efficiency and minimum EM field at
ground-level. The evaluation of radiated field should
take into account any additional RF amplifiers used,
any loss in the antenna feeder cable and the gain of
the antenna used as well as its polar radiation pattern.
If there are any objects or structures larger than
half a wavelength close to the antenna, or within the
clearance distances specified, then these can cause
reflections which will have an effect on the overall radiation pattern.
For any installation you need to consider ‘height clearance’ (i.e. the height above any place where persons
may have access) and ‘front clearance’ (i.e. the distance in front of the antenna where the radiated field
may exceed the recommended limits). Normally with
an antenna installed on a reasonably high mast or
tower, there will not be any access point directly in
front but care should be exercised when there are
other buildings higher than the antenna within the vicinity.

• Installation with a vertical type antenna at VHFUHF
You need to consider the distances between the antenna and any point where persons may have access.
Allowing an average height of 1.8 m for a person in
the vicinity of the antenna the clearance distances
can be evaluated as follows. For the antenna a forward gain of 1.6 and downward gain of unity has been
assumed.

• Installation with a yagi or directive type antenna
Exposure distance assumes that the predominant radiation pattern is forwards and that radiation vertically
downwards is at unity gain (sidelobe suppression is
equal to main lobe gain). This is true of almost every
gain antenna today. Exposed persons are assumed
to be beneath the antenna array and have a typical
height of 1.8 m.
The figures assume the worst case emission of constant carrier.

ABOUT CE

• Typical installation example
A UHF base station transmitter is to be installed on
the roof of an office.
The transmit power is 25 watts, there is 20 m of
RG-213 coaxial cable and the antenna is vertically
polarised dipole.
The specification of the RG-213 cable gives a loss
of 1.5 dB/10 m. There will be 3 dB loss for the 20 m
length used.

• Operating Notes
All of the above comments on RF safety assume that
the radio is transmitting continuously in a constant
carrier mode such as FM or RTTY et­c.
The RF exposure limits recommended by the EC are
based on the mean power averaged over a 6 minute
period.
Therefore if the total transmit time during any 6
minute period is reduced, then the installation will be
even further within the recommended limits.

The RF power at the antenna input will be 12.5 watts.
The dipole antenna has a forward gain of 0 dBd or
1.6, giving an EIRP of 20 watts.

CE Versions of the IC-FR5100/IC-FR6100
which display the “CE” symbol on the serial
number seal, comply with the essential requirements of the European Radio and
Telecommunication Terminal Directive
1999/5/EC.

Referring to the table above for VHF/UHF vertical
antennas, this gives a front clearance distance of approx. 1.5 m and a height clearance of 3 m.
The antenna installation needs to ensure that the lowest part of the antenna is at least 3 m above any point
where the general public may gain access and that
they cannot pass within 1.5 m in front of the antenna.
If there is no general public access to the roof in
question then the antenna could be mounted on a
short stub mast. If there is such access to the roof
then the antenna could be mounted on top of a short
mast of 3.2 m high. The mast position should be such
that the antenna can radiate clearly i.e. no other object or structure is within 1.5 m (preferably more).
It should be relatively easy to fulfil all these recommendations.
If for any reason such minimum distances are impossible to guarantee then some type of access control fence or barrier around the antenna installation
should be provided.
Should a Yagi type antenna be used then you will
have to obtain a 3 dimensional polar plot of the radiation characteristic from the manufacturer and evaluate
the clearance distances in both vertical and horizontal
planes.
