Notes
Chapter 1 Pre-Installation Considerations
Proper installation ensures the best possible performance and reliability of the MOTOTRBO
Repeater. Pre-installation planning is required. This includes considering the mounting location of
the repeater in relation to input power and antennas. Also consider the site environmental conditions,
the particular mounting method (several available), and required tools and equipment.
If this is the first time this type of equipment is being installed, it is highly recommended that the
user read:
this entire installation section before beginning the actual installation, and
the Motorola Quality Standard Fixed Network Equipment Installation manual, R56
(6881089E50), specifically refer to the information on ground connection for lightning
protection.
1.1 Installation Overview
The following information is an overview for installing the MOTOTRBO Repeater and ancillary
equipment.
Plan the installation, paying particular attention to environmental conditions at the site,
ventilation requirements, and grounding and lightning protection.
Unpack and inspect the equipment.
Mechanical install the equipment at the site.
Make necessary electrical and cabling connections, including the following:
- AC input cabling
- Coaxial cables to transmit and receive antennas
Perform a post-installation function checkout test of the equipment to verify proper installation.
Proceed to customize the repeater parameters per customer specifications (e.g. operating
frequency, PL, codes, color code, etc.).
1.2 Environmental Conditions at Intended Installation Site
The repeater may be installed in any location suitable for electronic communications equipment,
provided that the environmental conditions do not exceed the equipment specifications for
temperature, humidity, and air quality.
1.2.1 Operating Temperature Range
-30°C (-22°F) to +60°C (+140°F)
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.
1.2.2 Humidity
Humidity conditions should not exceed 95% relative humidity @ 50°C (122°F).
1.2.3 Air Quality
For equipment operating in an area which is environmentally controlled and with the repeater(s) rack
mounted, the airborne particle level must not exceed 25 µg/m³.
February 2008 6816814H01
1-2 Pre-Installation Considerations Equipment Ventilation
For equipment operating in an area which is not environmentally controlled and with the repeater(s)
cabinet mounted, airborne particle level must not exceed 90 µg/m³.
1.3 Equipment Ventilation
The repeater is equipped with a cooling fan that is 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 in the front (for
air entry) and back or side panels (for air to exit). If several repeaters are installed in a single
cabinet, ensure ventilation openings surrounding each repeater allow for adequate cooling.
All cabinets must have a least 15 cm (6 inches) 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 under Section 1.2.1 Operating
Temperature Range on page 1-1.
1.4 AC Input Power Requirements
The repeater is equipped with a switching power supply, and this assembly operates from 100 – 240
V
AC
at 47 – 63 Hz AC input power. A standard 3-prong line cord is supplied to connect the power
supply to the AC source.
It is recommended that a standard 3-wire grounded electrical outlet be used as the AC source.
The outlet must be connected to an AC source capable of supplying a maximum of 280 W. For a
nominal 110/120 V
AC
input, the AC source must supply 5 A and should be protected by circuit
breaker rated at 15A. For a nominal 220/240 V
AC
input, the AC source must supply 3 A and should
be protected by a circuit breaker rated at 10 A.
1.4.1 Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the effects of overloading on overcurrent protection devices and
supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment ratings should be used when addressing this
concern.
1.5 Equipment Mounting Methods
The MOTOTRBO Repeater may be mounted in a rack, bracket or cabinet (available as accessories).
If the repeater is to be installed in an environment 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 accumulating on the internal circuit boards and modules is not easily
removed, and can cause such malfunctions as overheating and intermittent
electrical connections.
The equipment must be installed near an easily-accessible AC source.

Pre-Installation Considerations Site Grounding and Lightning Protection 1-3
1.6 Site Grounding and Lightning Protection
One of the most important considerations when designing a communications site is the ground and
lightning protection system. While proper grounding techniques and lightning protection are closely
related, the general category of site grounding may be divided into the following section.
1.6.1 Electrical Ground
Ground wires carrying electrical current from circuitry or equipment at the site is included in the
category of electrical ground. Examples include the AC or DC electrical power used to source
equipment located at the site, and wires or cables connected to alarms or sensors located at the site.
1.6.2 RF Ground
This type of ground is related to the bypassing of unwanted radio frequency energy to earth ground.
An example of RF grounding is the use of shielding to prevent or at least minimize the leakage of
unwanted RF energy from communications equipment and cables.
1.6.3 Lightning Ground
Providing adequate lightning protection is critical to a safe reliable communications site. RF
transmission cables, and AC and DC power lines must all be protected to prevent lightning energy
from entering the site.
Comprehensive coverage of site grounding techniques and lightning protection is not within the
scope of this instruction manual, but there are several excellent industry sources for rules and
guidelines on grounding and lightning protection at communications sites.
NOTE: Motorola recommends the following reference source:
Motorola Quality Standards Fixed Network Equipment
Installation Manual R56……………………...……………......................................6881089E50
1.6.4 Equipment Grounding
The repeater is equipped with a ground screw located on the rear of the repeater power supply
module. This screw is used to connect the repeater to the site grounding. All antenna cables, and AC
and DC power cabling, should be properly grounded and lightning protected by following the rules
and guidelines provided in the above reference. Failure to provide proper lightning protection may result in
permanent damage to the radio equipment.
Proper site grounding and lightning protection are vitally important
considerations. Failure to provide proper lightning protection may result in
permanent damage to the radio equipment.

Chapter 4 Electrical Connections
After the MOTOTRBO Repeater has been mechanically installed, electrical connections must be
made. This involves making the following connections:
AC power cord, and
antenna coaxial cables
Figure 4-1 shows the position of the various connectors and connections on the rear panel of the
repeater.
Figure 4-1 Locations of Connectors on the Rear Panel of the Repeater
4.1 Power Supply Connections
4.1.1 AC Input Power Connection
NOTE: The AC source must be installed near the equipment and must be easily accessible.
Each repeater ships with a 2.438 m (8 feet) 3-conductor line cord that connects the repeater to a
110/120/220/240 V
AC
source. Figure 4-1 shows the location where the AC line cord connects to the
repeater. Insert the 3-prong plug into a 110/120/220/240 V
AC
grounded outlet.
If an alternate line cord is required, obtain a suitable line cord, with fittings approved by the safety
testing agency in the end-use country, from a certified electrical parts supplier.
Do NOT apply AC power to the repeater at this time. Make sure that the circuit
breaker associated with the AC outlet is turned to OFF.

4.1.2 Ground Connection
The repeater is equipped with a ground screw located on the rear of the repeater. Connect the site
ground cable to the ground screw.
4.1.3 Battery Backup Connection
The MOTOTRBO Repeater offers the capability of connecting to battery backup power in the event
of an AC power failure.
The battery backup system is connected to the repeater through the DC connector mounted at the
rear of the repeater (see Figure 4-2).
The repeater power supply will trickle charge the backup battery. If the battery is significantly
discharged, it is recommended that an external charger be used to charge the battery.
Figure 4-2 Making Connections to a Backup Battery
Refer to Motorola Quality Standards Fixed Network Equipment Installation
Manual R56 (6881089E50), for complete information regarding lightning
protection.
The repeater should only be connected to a battery supply that is in
accordance with the applicable electrical codes for the end use country; for
example, the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 in the U.S.
The repeater is to be connected to a battery charger that is in accordance with
the applicable electrical codes for the end use country; for example, the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.70 in the U.S.
Unplug the battery from the repeater when charging the battery with an
external charger.

Electrical Connections RF Antenna Connections 4-3
4.2 RF Antenna Connections
The transmit and receive antenna RF connection are made using two separate connectors.
Coaxial cables from the receive and transmit antenna must be connected to the Type-N (Tx) and
BNC (Rx) connectors. The position of these connectors is shown in Figure 4-1. For repeater use,
either two antennas with adequate isolation of 75 dB UHF or 85 dB VHF between them, or one
antenna through a duplexer with at least 75 dB UHF, 85 dB VHF isolation between the Tx and Rx
antenna ports is required.
4.2.1 Duplexer Selection
The selection of a 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. A duplexer like
the HFE8400_ (406 – 450 MHz) or RFE4000_ (450 – 470 MHz) or HFD8465_ (150 – 160 MHz) is
adequate. Note that these duplexers are good for 4 – 7 MHz Tx-Rx spacings. Select a different
duplexer for other Tx-Rx spacings.
The duplexer must be able to handle at least 50 W continuously. For the best system performance,
the insertion loss should be less than 2 dB. If the repeater is used in higher RF density sites, the use
of a pass-notch duplexer is recommended.
4.2.2 Antenna Selection
The selection of the antenna is critical to system performance. The selected antenna must be
50 Ohm impedance and capable of at least 50 Watts. Gain antennas may be used to increase
system coverage. Please take note of licensing restrictions when selecting gain antennas. Some
services or regions may have antenna gain or system ERP limitations.
The antenna must be connected to the duplexer with a high grade 50 Ohm transmission line
(hardline). The line must have connectors to match the connectors on the duplexer and antenna.
For proper antenna installation, please also consult the Motorola Quality Standards Fixed Network
Equipment Installation Manual R56 (6881089E50).
The repeater can key up at any time due to input from a subscriber unit or a
CW ID. Please ensure that all power is switched off before disconnecting the
transmit antenna.
It is important that all antenna cables are grounded at the point they enter the
building.
The antenna design is the customer's responsibility. All aspects of the antenna
design must comply with the relevant local regulations.

Chapter 5 Post-Installation Checklist
After the MOTOTRBO Repeater has been mechanically installed and all electrical connections have
been made, power may now be applied and the repeater checked for proper operation.
5.1 Applying Power
Before applying power to the repeater, make sure all boards are securely seated in the appropriate
connectors on the backplane and that all RF cables are securely connected.
Turn ON the circuit breaker controlling the AC outlet that is supplying power to the repeater Power
Supply Module.
5.2 Verifying Proper Operation
Operation of the repeater can be verified by:
observing the state of the 8 LEDs located on the front panel, and
exercising radio operation.
5.2.1 Front Panel LEDs
After turning ON the repeater power (or after a repeater reset), the 8 LEDs on the repeater front
panel:
Light for about one second to indicate that they are functional, then
Go off for one second, then
Indicate the operational status of the repeater.
5.3 Archiving
5.3.1 Copying the Repeater Codeplug Data to a Computer
Backup the repeater's codeplug data by using the Customer Programming Software (CPS) on a
computer.
Some repeater components can become extremely hot during operation. Turn
off all power to the repeater and wait until sufficiently cool before touching the
repeater.
