General Safety and Installation
Standards and Guidelines
ATTENTION!
WARNING: For safe installation, operation, service and repair of this equipment, follow the
safety precautions and instructions described below, as well as any additional safety
information in Motorola Solutions product service and installation manuals and the Motorola
Solutions R56 Standards and Guidelines for Communications Sites manual (which can be
obtained by ordering CDROM 9880384V83). To obtain copies of these materials, please
contact Motorola Solutions as directed at the end of this section. After installation, these
instructions should be retained and readily available for any person operating or servicing this
repeater or working near it.
Failure to follow these safety precautions and instructions could result in serious injury or property
damage.
The installation process requires preparation and knowledge of the site before installation begins.
Review installation procedures and precautions in the Motorola Solutions R56 manual before
performing any site or component installation. Personnel must use safe work practices and good
judgment, and always follow applicable safety procedures, such as requirements of the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the National Electrical Code (NEC), and local codes.
The following are additional general safety precautions that must be observed:
• To continue compliance with any applicable regulations and maintain the safety of this equipment,
do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modifications.
• All equipment must be serviced by Motorola Solutions trained personnel.
• If troubleshooting the equipment while the power is on, be aware of live circuits which could contain
hazardous voltage.
• Do not operate the radio transmitters unless all RF connectors are secure and all connectors are
properly terminated.
• All equipment must be properly grounded in accordance with the Motorola Solutions R56 and
specified installation instructions for safe operation.
• Openings between the fins on the chassis are provided for ventilation. Do not block or cover
openings between the fins that protect the devices from overheating.
•Some equipment components can become extremely hot during operation. Turn off all power
to the equipment and wait until sufficiently cool before touching.
•Maintain emergency first aid kits at the site.
• Never store combustible materials in or near equipment. The combination of combustible material,
heat and electrical energy increases the risk of a fire hazard.
• Equipment shall be installed in a site that meets the requirements of a
“restricted access location,” per (UL60950-1 & EN60950-1), which is defined as follows: "Access
can only be gained by service persons or by users who have been instructed about the reasons for
the restrictions applied to the location and about any precautions that shall be taken; and access is
through the use of a tool or lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the
authority responsible for the location."

• Ensure that the installation area can safely support the weight of the repeater.
• Burn hazard. The metal housing of the product may become extremely hot. Use caution
when working around the equipment.
•RF energy burn hazard. Disconnect power in the cabinet to prevent injury before
disconnecting and connecting antennas.
•Shock hazard. The outer shields of all Tx and Rx RF cables outer shields must be grounded per
Motorola Solutions R56 manual.
• All Tx and Rx RF cables shall be connected to a surge protection device according to Motorola
Solutions R56 manual. Do not connect Tx and Rx RF cables directly to an outside antenna.
•
Attention
Compliance with National and International standards and guidelines for human exposure to
Electromagnetic Energy (EME) at Transmitter Antenna sites generally requires that persons having
access to a site shall be aware of the potential for exposure to EME and can exercise control of
exposure by appropriate means, such as adhering to warning sign instructions. See this installation
manual and Appendix A of Motorola Solutions R56.
This product complies with the requirements set forth by the European R&TTE regulations and
applicable CENELEC standards concerning human exposure to Electromagnetic Energy (EME) at
Transmitter Antenna sites. Appendix E: MOTOTRBO Repeater EME Assessment on page 99 in
this manual includes an EME exposure analysis of a typical system configuration for this product.
For a different system configuration than the typical configuration, compliance with applicable EME
exposure standards (current versions of the EN50384, EN50385, IEC/IEEE 62704-2, and United
States Federal Communication Commission, “Evaluating compliance with FCC guidelines for
human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields,” OET Bulletin 65 (Ed. 97-01), August
1997. Supplement C (Edition 01-01) to US FCC OET Bulletin 65 (Edition 97-01), “Additional
Information for Evaluating Compliance of Mobile and Portable Devices with FCC Limits for Human
Exposure to Radio frequency Emissions,” June 2001 standards for occupational and general public
exposure, respectively) can be evaluated by either employing the indoor or outdoor methods
illustrated in the typical system configuration EME exposure analysis included in Appendix E:
MOTOTRBO Repeater EME Assessment on page 99 in this manual, or employing another
suitable method among those described in the current version of the EN50383 standard.
Once the occupational and general public compliance boundaries are determined, means to ensure
that workers and people are outside the respective boundaries, for instance using appropriate
signage or restricted access, should be implemented; if this is not possible or practically achievable
for the specific system configuration, the configuration should be modified in order to make it
possible. The R56 Standards and Guidelines for Communications Sites manual (which can be
obtained by ordering CDROM 9880384V83) provides examples of signage that can be used to
identify the occupational or general public compliance boundaries.
Refer to product specific manuals for detailed safety and installation instructions. Manuals can be
obtained with product orders, downloaded from https://businessonline.motorolasolutions.com, or
purchased through the Motorola Solutions Aftermarket & Accessory Department.
This is a class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference in
which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

Description
The Motorola SLR 1000 Repeater provides a modular, flexible analog and digital station designed for
today's communication systems and for the future.
The station is available for use in these configurations:
•Analog Conventional
• Digital (MOTOTRBO)
• MOTOTRBO DMR Tier 2 Conventional – Single Site
• MOTOTRBO DMR Tier 2 Conventional – IP Site Connect
• MOTOTRBO Capacity Plus Trunking
• MOTOTRBO Connect Plus Trunking
• MOTOTRBO Capacity Max Trunking
• MOTOTRBO Digital Voting
NOTICE: Certain software features enabled through Radio Management can be configured with
the Online Help or with a regional representative. See the regional Ordering Guide to determine
the features available within the respective regions.
The repeater can either be configured as a stand-alone repeater or as a repeater connected to a
network, as in the case of operating in IP Site Connect mode. As a repeater, it listens on one uplink
frequency, and then re-transmits on a downlink frequency, thus providing the RF interface to the field
subscribers. When configured for analog station operation, the repeater is designed to operate with
most existing analog systems, which enables a smooth migration to the MOTOTRBO system.
When configured for digital operation, the repeater offers additional services. The digital repeater
operates in TDMA mode, which essentially divides one channel into two virtual channels using time
slots; therefore the user capacity is doubled. The repeater utilizes embedded signaling to inform the
field radios of the busy/idle status of each channel (time slot), the type of traffic, and even the source
and destination information.

Theory of Operation
The SLR 1000 Repeater provides the radio frequency (RF) link between the repeater and the
subscriber radios. The repeater acquires inbound signals through its external receive (Rx) antenna and
then amplifies, filters and demodulates the signals into data or voice packets. From that point, the data
is either forwarded to the repeater’s transmitter to subscriber radios, and/or the data is delivered
through a wired interface for distribution to networked repeaters, consoles, or other networked
infrastructure.
The repeater consists of a single transceiver board.
•The transceiver board is comprised of three subsystems, which are the Receiver subsystem,
Transmitter subsystem, and Station Control subsystem. At a high level, these subsystems are
further explained, as follows:
- The Receiver subsystem is a dual heterodyne Receiver which receives the RF signal from the
subscriber’s transmitter. It then converts the resulting final intermediate frequency (IF) from an
analog signal to that of a digital word in IQ signal format. Finally, the Receiver delivers the IQ
signal, through the SSI bus, to the Station Control subsystem for demodulation. Also, the
Receiver subsystem provides for its own metering and diagnostics through software, and self-
contained calibration (no field tuning is needed for the Receiver subsystem).
- The Transmitter subsystem converts a two-port base band data signal, sent over the SSI bus
from the Station Control subsystem, to an analog signal representation. The analog signal is
then modulated with a low-power RF transmitter carrier that is generated by the Exciter
subsystem. The power modulated RF carrier is then amplified and delivered to the antenna. The
Exciter subsystem constitutes the transmitter of the repeater. Also, the Exciter subsystem
provides its own metering and diagnostics through software, and a self-contained calibration (no
field tuning is needed for the Exciter subsystem).
- The heart of the Station Control subsystem is the Texas Instruments DM8148 Host/ DSP
processor. In general, the SCM controls the entire coordination of the repeater functions.
Specifically, the Station Control subsystem provides for the following functions:
+ Contains and runs the preloaded repeater software
+ Manages inbound and outbound RF and Audio traffic
+ Provides an on-board USB port for local configuring, alignment, and diagnostics through the
following applications:
• Radio Management Configuration Client (RM)
• Tuner application
• Repeater Diagnostic and Control (RDAC) software
+ Provides an Ethernet port for IP site connectivity and remote RDAC
+ Provides GPIO connectivity for third-party controller interfaces
+ Provides for analog repeater audio connectivity
+ Data and Control to the Receiver subsystem through the SPI and SSI respectively
+ Data and Control to the Exciter subsystem through the SPI and SSI respectively
+ Control of the Transmitter’s set power through the SPI
+ Configuration and fault management
+ Generates the internal station reference

+ Provides control of the front panel indicator LEDs.
-The Transmitter subsystem delivers the amplified signal to the transmitter antenna port at a
power level within the rated power band of the repeater, for transmission to the subscriber
radios. In addition, it provides the following hardware functions for the repeater.
+ Harmonic attenuation
+ Inter-modulation attenuation (IMA) suppression
+ RF power control (primary means)
+ Meters for diagnostics
+ Power roll back for temperature
+ Self-Contained calibration (no field alignment is needed for PA).
1.7
Basic Repeater Level Troubleshooting – RDAC and LEDs
Diagnostic tests are available for the Transceiver. If a problem occurs during station operation, it is
logged as an alarm that is read with the Repeater Diagnostic and Control application (RDAC). See
Figure 7: RDAC Diagnostic Screen on page 40 for the RDAC diagnostic screen.
Figure 7: RDAC Diagnostic Screen
The station operator then evaluates the problem locally or remotely, as the station maintains an Alarm
Log with the name of the alarm that has failed since the last power up. Through the RDAC application’s
Alarm Log, the alarm messages aid in identifying the FRU that failed along with the fault condition.
After booting up the repeater, the three LEDs (Power/ Status, Network, and Reference LEDs) flash in
unison.
The general status and condition of the SLR 1000 Repeater can be obtained by observing the three
LED indicators on the front panel. Table 9: SLR 1000 Repeater Front Panel LED Indicators on page
40 shows the LED symbols and their meaning, while Table 10: SLR 1000 Front Panel LED Definitions
on page 41 identifies the information conveyed through the LED indicators.

Receiver Subsystem
The Transceiver board includes the receiver circuitry for the station. A cable connects the board
connector to an N-type connector on the upper left hand side of the repeater.
See Figure 10: SLR 1000 Repeater Transceiver Board Connector Locations on page 45 for the
location of this connector. The receiver section performs highly-selective bandpass filtering and dual
down-conversion of the desired RF signal. A custom Receiver IC then performs an analog-to-digital
conversion of the desired received signal and outputs the digitized signal to the controller section via a
serial synchronous interface. Included in the receiver section is:
Frequency Synthesizer Circuitry
Consists of a phase-locked loop and Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO), generates the first LO
injection signal.
Varactor-tuned Preselector Filter(s)
Provides bandpass filtering of the station Receiver RF input.
Receiver Front End Circuitry
Performs filtering, amplification, and the first down conversion of the Receiver RF signal.
Receiver-specific piece of transceiver IC Circuitry
Consists of receiver-specific parts of a transceiver IC which performs the second down conversion,
filtering, amplification, and analog-to-digital conversion of the receive signal.
Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) Circuitry
Converts analog Receiver status signals to digital format for transfer to the controller circuitry
located on the Transceiver board.

Transmitter Subsystem
The Transmitter subsystem on the Transceiver board provides the transmitter functions for the station.
The Transmitter subsystem interfaces directly with the controller section, which provides control signals
and monitoring, and routes transmit data to the Exciter.
The RF carrier is generated by a frequency synthesizer consisting of synthesizer circuitry and Voltage-
Controlled Oscillator (VCO) circuitry. Exciter circuit control signals, monitoring, and audio processing
are handled by the controller section of the transceiver board. Included in the transmitter subsystem
are:
Frequency Synthesizer Circuitry
Consists of a phase-locked loop and Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO), generates a modulated
RF signal at the transmitter carrier frequency.
RF Isolation Switch
Allows the controller section to turn on/off the Exciter RF input signal which greatly reduces signal
leakage when the transmitter is de-keyed.
Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) Circuitry
Converts the analog transmitter status signals to the digital format for transfer, upon request, to the
controller section of the Transceiver board.

7.1
General
The SLR 1000 Repeater meets published specifications through the manufacturing process by utilizing
high-accuracy laboratory-quality test equipment. The recommended field service equipment
approaches the accuracy of the manufacturing equipment with few exceptions. This accuracy must be
maintained in compliance with the equipment manufacturer’s recommended calibration schedule.
NOTICE: Although these repeaters function in digital and analog modes, all testing is done in
analog mode. Digital Repeater tests can be performed using an Aeroflex 3900 Series Service
Monitor, if the DMR Digital Repeater Test Option is purchased. This auto testing could be
performed in lieu of the following Manual testing.
7.2
Transmitter Testing
CAUTION: The SLR 1000 Series Repeater needs to be taken out of service in order to carry
out performance testing procedures. Unless the repeater is already out of service, it is
recommended to perform the procedures during off-peak hours in order to minimize disruption
of service to the system subscribers.
7.2.1
Introduction
While most module faults can be detected by running the repeater diagnostics, the following procedure
provides a more traditional method of troubleshooting the transmitter circuitry.
This procedure allows the service technician to make minor adjustments and verify proper operation of
the repeater transmit circuitry.
In general, the transmitter circuitry is exercised by injecting and measuring signals using a Service
Monitor (or equivalent). Incorrect measurement values indicate a faulty module(s); measurement
values within the acceptable range verify proper operation the transceiver board and circuitry.

2Apply input power to the repeater.
3Press the PTT switch of the microphone.
4Measure output power by observing reading on an in-line wattmeter.
aIf the transmitter output is not at proper power (as set for a particular site), adjust the output
power as described in the Radio Management online help.
5If the transmitter output power is proper, set up the Service Monitor for spectrum analyzer
display.
aPress the PTT button and observe the display.
The display should show a single frequency carrier:
bIf the display shows multiple carriers evenly spaced about the carrier, suspect a faulty Exciter
module or PA module.
cIf the display shows a solid carrier but it is off frequency, suspect the following:
• Faulty transceiver board
• Faulty external 5/10 MHz reference source (if used)
dIf the display shows a single carrier moving erratically, suspect a faulty transceiver board.
6If display is proper, set up Aeroflex 3900 Series Communications System Analyzer to display
modulation.
aUsing the microphone, push the PTT button and speak into the microphone.
bVerify that the display shows an audio signal.
cIf the proper display is not obtained, suspect faulty transceiver board.
7Set the Aeroflex 3900 Series Communications System Analyzer for GEN/ MON MTR.
aPress the PTT button and speak loudly into the microphone to cause maximum deviation.
Display should read:
• 4.60 kHz maximum for a 25 kHz system
• 3.68 kHz maximum for a 20 kHz system
• 2.30 kHz maximum for a 12.5 kHz system
bIf the proper display is not obtained, suspect faulty transceiver board.
8This completes the Verifying Transmitter Circuitry test procedure. If all displays and
measurements are correct, the transmitter circuitry may be considered to be operating properly.

modulated by a 1 kHz tone at 3 kHz deviation for 25 /30 kHz channel spacing, or 1.5 kHz
deviation for 12.5 kHz channel spacing. The 1 kHz tone should be audible through the external
speaker. If no audio is heard, suspect the following:
• Faulty transceiver board
• Faulty service monitor-to-station RF cable
• Left panel to transceiver board cable unplugged
• Faulty left panel to transceiver board cable
3If audio is heard (the audio volume can be adjusted on the rear of the HSN1006), look at the
oscilloscope window on the Aeroflex 3920 (or a separate O-Scope).
aVerify that the audio level sine wave measures between 0.75 to 1.5 Vpp.
bIf not, connect to the tuner and increase the Rx audio level until this is achieved. If the level
cannot be obtained, suspect a faulty transceiver board.
4Move the BNC cable from the scope CH 1 input to the Audio 1 input.
5Change System Monitor injection signal level to the noted levels in Table 8: SLR 1000 Repeater

6Measure the receiver 12 dB SINAD sensitivity.
aIf the SINAD level is less than 12 dB, suspect a faulty transceiver board.
7This completes the Verifying Receiver Circuitry test procedure. If all displays and measurements
are correct, the receiver circuitry may be considered to be operating properly.
aRemove test equipment, restore the repeater to normal service, and (if applicable) return to

9.1
Introduction
This chapter provides details about the following:
•Routine maintenance
• Preventive maintenance (inspection and cleaning)
• Safe handling of CMOS and LDMOS devices
• Disassembly and reassembly of the repeater
• Repair procedures and techniques.
9.2
Routine Maintenance
NOTICE: Clean the repeater with a soft dry cloth while in service.
The SLR 1000 Repeater and ancillary equipment have been designed with state-of-the-art technology
and operate under software control, thus requiring minimal routine maintenance. Virtually all repeater
operating parameters are monitored and self-corrected by the Transceiver and the firmware it runs,
which makes adjustments and tuning virtually unnecessary.
Provided that the equipment is installed in an area which meets the specified environmental
requirements, the only routine maintenance task required is the calibration of the repeater reference
oscillator circuit.

9.3
Preventive Maintenance
Periodic visual inspection and cleaning is recommended.
9.3.1
Inspection
Check that the external surfaces of the SLR 1000 Series Repeater are clean, and that all external
controls and connections are in order. It is not recommended to inspect the interior electronic circuitry.
9.3.2
Cleaning Procedures
The following procedures describe the recommended cleaning agents and the methods to be used
when cleaning the external and internal surfaces of the SLR 1000 Repeater. External surfaces include
the top cover and repeater enclosure.
Periodically clean smudges and grime from exterior enclosure. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth
moistened in a 0.5% solution of mild dishwashing detergent and water solution. Rinse the surface
using a second cloth moistened in clean water, and clean any dirt or debris from the heatsink fins.
The only factory recommended liquid for cleaning the printed circuit boards and their components is
isopropyl alcohol (100% by volume).
9.4
Safe Handling of CMOS and LDMOS Devices
Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) and laterally diffused metal-oxide semiconductor
(LDMOS) devices are used in this family of stations, and are susceptible to damage by electrostatic or
high voltage charges. Damage can be latent, resulting in failures occurring weeks or months later.
Therefore, special precautions must be taken to prevent device damage during disassembly,
troubleshooting, and repair.
Handling precautions are mandatory for CMOS/LDMOS circuits and are especially important in low
humidity conditions.
DO NOT attempt to disassemble the repeater without first referring to the following CAUTION
statement.

CAUTION: This repeater contains static-sensitive devices. Do not open the repeater unless you
are properly grounded. Take the following precautions when working on this unit:
•Store and transport all CMOS/LDMOS devices in conductive material so that all exposed
leads are shorted together. Do not insert CMOS/LDMOS devices into conventional plastic
"snow" trays used for storage and transportation of other semiconductor devices.
• Ground the working surface of the service bench to protect the CMOS/LDMOS device. We
recommend using the Motorola Solutions Static Protection Assembly (part number
0180386A82), which includes a wrist strap, two ground cords, a table mat, and a floor mat,
ESD shoes and an ESD chair.
• Wear a conductive wrist strap in series with a 100k resistor to ground. (Replacement wrist
straps that connect to the bench top covering are Motorola Solutions part number
4280385A59).
• Do not wear nylon clothing while handling CMOS/LDMOS devices.
• Do not insert or remove CMOS/LDMOS devices with power applied. Check all power
supplies used for testing CMOS/LDMOS devices to be certain that there are no voltage
transients present.
• When straightening CMOS/LDMOS pins, provide ground straps for the apparatus used.
• When soldering, use a grounded soldering iron.
• If at all possible, handle CMOS/LDMOS devices by the package and not by the leads. Prior
to touching the unit, touch an electrical ground to remove any static charge that you may
have accumulated. The package and substrate may be electrically common. If so, the
reaction of a discharge to the case would cause the same damage as touching the leads.

10.1
Pre-Installation Considerations
Proper installation ensures the best possible performance and reliability of the repeater.
Pre-installation planning is required. This includes considering the mounting location of the equipment
in relation to input power, antennas, and system interfaces. Also to be considered are site environment
conditions, the particular mounting method (several available), and required tools and equipment.
It is highly recommended to read the following before installing this type of equipment for the first time:
•this entire installation section before beginning the actual installation, and
• the Motorola Solutions Quality Standard Fixed Network Equipment Installation manual, R56 (which
can be obtained by ordering CDROM 9880384V83), specifically refer to the information on ground
connection for lightning protection.
10.1.1
Installation Overview
The following information is an overview for installing the repeater and ancillary equipment.
Step-by-step procedures for each of the major installation tasks are then provided beginning in
Mechanical Installation on page 82.
• Plan the installation, paying particular attention to environmental conditions at the site, ventilation
requirements, and grounding and lightning protection.
• Unpack and inspect the equipment.
• Mechanically install the equipment at the site.
• Make necessary electrical and cabling connections, including the following:
- DC input cabling
- Coaxial cables to transmit and receive antennas
- System cables
• Perform a post-installation function checkout test of the equipment to verify proper installation.
Proceed to the Optimization procedures to customize the repeater parameters per customer
specifications (such as operating frequency, PL, codes, and so on.)
10.1.2
Site Environmental Conditions
The installation location of the SLR 1000 Repeater must follow precautions and be conducted in such a
way so that access is limited to technicians with adequate training and skills.
CAUTION: The repeater is a natural-convection cooled device and may get hot when installed
in hot and/or high solar load environments. Use of on-board antennas also creates a potential
exposure to RF energy that must be considered.
The repeater may be installed in a suitable, restricted access, indoor or outdoor location suitable for
electronic communications equipment that do not exceed the equipment specifications for temperature
or ingress. Unit orientation, solar loading, antenna, and cable load quality may all affect the
temperature and performance of the unit.

Send Feedback 77
Preliminary FCC Filing
The environmental conditions are:
•Operating Temperature Range – Vertical orientation
-30 °C (-22 °F) to +60 °C (+140 °F)
The operating temperature range is the temperature measured close to the repeater, near the fin
inlets (bottom). Other factors, such as orientation, solar loading, duty cycle, and VSWR can affect
transmit power and/or maximum operating temperature range.
• Ingress
The repeater has been designed to IP65 ingress protection. It provides protection against blowing
water and dust and can be deployed in harsh industrial indoor environments and/or outdoor
applications where rain, snow, and dust are prevalent.
• Vibration and Loads
The repeater hardware has been designed to survive high vibration and wind loads (up to 150 mph)
encountered in outdoor environments and may be installed in vehicular environments when
equipped with ruggedized mounting brackets or trunnions.
10.1.3
Equipment Ventilation
The SLR 1000 Repeater is a natural-convection or passively cooled device with no fans. Care must be
taken in mounting the unit to ensure that fresh air can flow into the fin entrances and heated air can
adequately escape.
10.1.3.1
Ventilation for a Ceiling Mount
Ceiling mounting of the SLR 1000 Repeater requires that the bracket is mounted against the ceiling
surface and that the unit is positioned with the fins facing up towards the ceiling.
Fresh air flows into both ends of the fins and the heated air exhausts out the top of the fin channels.
The mounting bracket (same as used for the wall mount) provides an adequate gap between the unit
fin tips and the ceiling surface. The fin cooling effectiveness in this orientation is slightly lower than
vertical wall mount orientations and that some power shutback at high ambients may occur. It is not
recommended to mount any optional AC power supplies onto the mounting bracket when in a ceiling
orientation, as the exhaust air is restricted from rising and could overheat the power supply unit as well.
10.1.3.2
Ventilation for a Wall Mount
Wall mounting of the SLR 1000 Repeater requires that the bracket is mounted against the wall surface
and that the unit is positioned with the fins running vertically.
Fresh air flows into the bottom of the fins and the heated air exhausts out the top of the fin channels.
Mounting of the unit with the fins running horizontally or other orientations other than vertical reduces
the airflow through the fins and that some power shutback at high ambients may occur. The wall mount
bracket provides adequate gap and mounting provisions for integration of an optional AC power supply
between the fins and the bracket. As airflow occurs bottom to top, this does not impact thermal
performance in the vertical orientation.

AC and DC Input Power Requirements
This section describes the power requirements for the AC and DC inputs, as well as ground, battery,
RF antenna, and system cable connections.
10.1.4.1
DC Input Power Requirements
The DC source operates from 10.8 VDC to 15.6 VDC (4A max). This DC source must be located in the
same building as the repeater, and it must meet the requirements of a SELV circuit. The appropriate
DC disconnects and current limiting devices must be chosen and implemented per R56.
10.1.4.2
AC Input Power Requirements
For indoor applications, a standard indoor power supply with an IEC C13 appliance connector is
available. The adapter may be combined with bracket BR000276A01 so that it can be integrated onto
the wall mount bracket with the SLR 1000 Repeater or attached directly to the wall or ceiling.
Use a standard 3-wire grounded electrical outlet as the AC source.
CAUTION: The AC socket outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily
accessible.
For outdoor applications, a sealed IP67 rated AC power converter is available. This unit may be
attached directly to the wall mount bracket with the repeater. It includes a water tight cable junction
connector and requires extra wiring, conduit, and/or similar provisions to connect to the AC source.
The outlet must be connected to an AC source capable of supplying a maximum of 500 VA. For a
nominal 110/120 VAC input, the AC source must supply 1.3A for indoor and 1.2A for outdoor
(minimum). Per R56, the minimum ampacity of the circuit (and protective breaker) feeding the repeater
should be no less than 15A. For a nominal 220/240 VAC input, the ampacity requirements can be
halved.
10.1.4.3
Ground Connection
The repeater is equipped with a ground screw on the bottom panel of the repeater. Figure 12: SLR
1000 Repeater Bottom Panel Connector Names and Locations on page 53 shows the location of the
grounding screw. Connect the ground screw to the site ground point. The size of the wire used for this
connection must be 8 AWG minimum.
CAUTION: See the Motorola Solutions Quality Standards Fixed Network Equipment Installation
Manual R56 (which can be obtained by ordering CDROM 9880384V83), 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.
10.1.4.4
Battery Connection
The battery system is connected to the repeater through the DC inlet connector on the bottom panel of
the repeater. See Figure 12: SLR 1000 Repeater Bottom Panel Connector Names and Locations on

10.1.4.5
RF Antenna Connections
The transmit and receive antenna RF connections are made using two separate connectors in the
standard unit. Duplexer and antenna switch accessories are also available to allow duplexed, half
duplexed, or simplex single antenna operation. Coax cables from the receive and transmit antennas
must be connected to their respective connectors. The position of these connectors are shown in
Figure 2: SLR 1000 Repeater Left View on page 34 and Figure 3: SLR 1000 Repeater Right View on
page 34 , and their respective connector types are noted in Table 2: SLR 1000 Repeater Left View
Callout Legend on page 34 and Table 3: SLR 1000 Repeater Right View Callout Legend on page 34.
In addition, an integrated compact antenna accessory is available to facilitate mounting the antenna
directly on the unit. If the duplexer or antenna switch accessories are not used, external antennas are
required. Additionally, because the antenna is mounted directly to the repeater, it is not recommended
to use the integrated antenna in applications where a direct lightning strike to the unit could occur as
significant damage to the repeater and/or connected equipment could occur. Consult R56 manual for
details and necessary provisions for surge protection on RF cable and antennas.
10.1.4.6
System Cable Connections
System connections are made through the Aux and/or Ethernet connectors on the bottom panel of the
repeater. The positions of the Aux and Ethernet connectors are shown in Figure 12: SLR 1000
Repeater Bottom Panel Connector Names and Locations on page 53.
See Auxiliary (Aux)/Accessory on page 55 for a description of the signaling that is supported by the
Aux connector.

10.1.6
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 radio
equipment.
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 sections.

10.1.6.1
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.
10.1.6.2
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.
10.1.6.3
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.
NOTICE: Motorola Solutions recommends the following reference source:

can be obtained by ordering CDROM 9880384V83).
10.1.6.4
Equipment Grounding
The SLR 1000 Repeater is equipped with a ground screw on the bottom right of the repeater.
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 previous sections. Failure to provide proper lightning protection may result in
permanent damage to the repeater.

Power Supply Connections
This section describes power, antenna, and cable connections.
10.3.1.1
DC Input Power Connection/ DC Power Connection
Each repeater comes with a 3-meter DC input cable with a barrel type connector output that connects
to the repeater.
For DC operation, the DC source power is connected to the repeater through the DC power inlet
connector shown in Figure 37: SLR 1000 Repeater Bottom Panel Connector Names and Locations on
page 84.
For sealing the cable, first thread the gland nut, then the cable gland over the barrel connector. The
connector is inserted into the repeater and then you thread in and torque the cable gland. Last, thread
on the nut and torque to compress the gland and seal to the cable jacket. Ensure that the barrel
connector is full seated before final tightening of the gland nut.
Longer runs of DC power require a junction box or splice connection of some type near the repeater so
that larger gage cable can be used and then connected to the DC barrel cable (cut to length as
needed). Cable gage and length should be carefully selected to ensure nominal voltage at the supply
does not fall below minimum specified.
The DC source must be located in the same building as the repeater, and it must meet the
requirements of an SELV circuit.
CAUTION: Ensure that the appropriate voltage is connected with a nominal 13.6 VDC (10.8 –
15.6 VDC).
10.3.1.2
AC Input Power Connection
AC/DC power supplies are available and operate from 100–240 VAC at 47–63 Hz AC input power. A
standard 3-prong line cord is required to connect the power supply to the AC source.
CAUTION: Do not apply AC power to the SLR 1000 Repeater at this time. Make sure that the
circuit breaker associated with the AC outlet is turned OFF.
The DC socket-outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily accessible.

Figure 37: SLR 1000 Repeater Bottom Panel Connector Names and Locations on page 84 shows the
DC power inlet connector. Insert the plug into an appropriate grounded outlet.
The AC converters come with a barrel connector output that connects to the repeater. For sealing, first
thread the cable gland nut, then the cable gland over the barrel connector. The connector is inserted
into the repeater and then threaded in and the cable gland torqued. Last, thread on the nut and torque
to compress the gland and seal to the cable jacket. Ensure that the barrel connector is fully seated
before final tightening of the gland nut.
10.3.1.3
Ground Connection
The repeater is equipped with a ground screw on the bottom panel. Figure 37: SLR 1000 Repeater
Bottom Panel Connector Names and Locations on page 84 shows the location of the grounding screw.
Connect the ground screw to the site ground point. The size of the wire used for this connection must
be 8 AWG minimum.
CAUTION: Refer to Motorola Quality Standards Fixed Network Equipment Installation Manual
R56 (which can be obtained by ordering CDROM 9880384V83), 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.
10.3.1.4
RF Antenna Connections
The transmit and receive antenna RF connections are made using two separate connectors. Coax
cables from the receive and transmit antennas must be connected to their respective connectors. The
position of these connectors are shown in Figure 2: SLR 1000 Repeater Left View on page 34 and
Figure 3: SLR 1000 Repeater Right View on page 34 , and their respective connector types are noted
in Table 2: SLR 1000 Repeater Left View Callout Legend on page 34 and Table 3: SLR 1000 Repeater
Right View Callout Legend on page 34.
10.3.1.5
System Cable Connections
System connections are made through the Aux and/or Ethernet connectors located on the bottom
panel of the repeater. The positions of the Aux and Ethernet connectors are shown in Figure 37: SLR
1000 Repeater Bottom Panel Connector Names and Locations on page 84.
See Auxiliary (Aux)/Accessory on page 55 for a description of the signaling that is supported by the
Aux connector.
10.3.2
Installing Cable Grommet Connectors or Plugs
Cable sealing glands or cordgrips are used to seal the openings in the bottom of the SLR 1000
Repeater when a cable is used with the repeater. It is expected that the RJ-45 cables for LAN and
GPIO are field terminated as the RJ-45 connectors cannot fit through the cable gland, and cables are
typically made to length on site in a typical installation. Solid plugs are provided to seal the USB
Programming connector and any unused cable ports.
Prerequisites: Obtain a 1 in. torque wrench.
NOTICE: Cables must be field terminated on at least one end to allow the cable to be inserted
through the cable gland.

Appendix D: SLR 1000 Series Third
Party Controllers
Overview
The SLR 1000 Repeater is capable of interfacing to a number of third party controllers through the
four-wire and GPIO/ GPI interface afforded by the back panel AUX connector. This section covers the
connections and signal levels between the third party controllers and the repeater, as well as the audio
path configuration needed through Radio Management (RM). Note that this section is not a substitute
for a more comprehensive instruction detailed in the vendor’s manuals of their respective third party
controllers.
The third party controllers supported by the repeater are as follows:
•Tone Remote Adapter (Motorola Model L3276)
• External Supply
• 2-Channel Steering Maximum
CAUTION: Do not hot swap any of the third party controllers as this could (at a minimum)
cause a malfunction with the repeater.
NOTICE: The repeater only support the third party controllers noted above when it is configured
in analog mode. The screen capture below shows the RM location to configure the repeater for
analog mode.
If the third party controllers are supplied power by the repeater, then the repeater needs to be in
a powered off state when establishing (or removing) the connection to the repeater back panel
connector.

Appendix E: MOTOTRBO Repeater
EME Assessment
NOTICE: The example in this Appendix applies for a UHF band system. For different frequency
bands, applicable band-specific parameters should be employed to carry out the computations
yielding band-specific compliance boundaries.
Executive Summary
Compliance is established with respect to the U.S. FCC regulations [11] in a typical system
configuration of the MOTOTRBO SLR 1000 Repeater described in the following as derived.
A computational assessment was carried out to provide an estimation of the EME exposure and
compliance distances relative to the FCC ID ABZ99FT4100, Model AAR11SDGANQ1AN with
HKAE4003_, HKAE4004_, and HKAE4005_ antennas.
The following table provides the compliance distances for general public and occupational-type
exposure, for the UHF frequency band, antenna, and parameters considered in this analysis, based on
a typical system configuration:
Table 28: Indoor EME Compliance Distances Based on Example UHF Evaluation
Compliance distances Peak 1-g Average SAR Whole-Body SAR
General public exposure 40 cm 40 cm
Occupational-type exposure 40 cm (*) 40 cm (*)
Table 29: Outdoor EME Compliance Distances Based on Example UHF Evaluation
Compliance distances Peak 1-g Average SAR Whole-Body SAR
General public exposure 67 cm 67 cm
Occupational-type exposure 14 cm (*) 14 cm (*)
(*) This distance is very conservative and may be reduced significantly by carrying out a specific
occupational exposure analysis. The present analysis comprises a single distance suitable for both
exposure conditions.
Device Power Characteristics
The technical characteristics of the FCC ID ABZ99FT4100 Model AAR11SDGANQ1AN are as follows:
• Transmit Frequency Range: 400–527 MHz
• Maximum Power: 10 W
• Maximum Duty Cycle: 100%
• Antenna Information:
- Frequency Range: 400–530 MHz
- Monopole (17 cm)

Outdoor Exposure Prediction Model
This section describes how to determine the outdoor exposure model prediction of an antenna.
Whole-Body SAR Compliance
Full-wave and half-wave simulations are represented to show the exposure conditions.
The full-wave simulations based on the FDTD method were performed at 400 MHz and 470 MHz which
includes the operating band of the evaluated antenna. The simulation code employed was XFDTD,
version 7.3 by Remcom Inc., State College, PA. The exposed subject was modeled by a
heterogeneous full body model standardized for SAR evaluation according to the IEC/IEEE 62704-2
draft standard [12].
The half-wave dipole antenna and maximum radiated power were used to represent the exposure
condition. At each frequency, two individual simulations representing the exposure from the front and
back at 40 cm distance from the dipole were conducted. No losses other than dissipation of RF energy
inside the human body were assumed in the FDTD modeling, which provides an extra degree of
overestimation.
Figure 42: H-Field and SAR Distributions for Exposure from a Dipole Antenna
Table 30: Whole-Body Average SAR Results on page 100 presents the whole-body average SAR
results for the simulated conditions at. To account for the actual measured antenna gain of 4.1 dBi
which is higher than the half -wave dipole gain by factor of 1.57 the whole-body average results were
scaled by that factor and are present in a separate column as adjusted whole-body SAR values
alongside.

The highest adjusted whole-body average SAR value from these simulations is 0.019 W/kg. This value
is below the US FCC whole-body SAR limits for both controlled (occupational) and general public
exposure environments, 0.4 W/kg and 0.08 W/kg, respectively.
Peak 1-g Average SAR Compliance
The maximum measured gain of the antenna is used in this assessment to produce the conservative
evaluation of exposure in the operating condition of the radio.
The compliance relative to the US FCC limits for the peak 1-g average SAR [11] is evaluated at p=40
cm from the antenna by estimating an upper bound for said quantity. Evaluation of the peak power
density at 40 cm distance is performed based on maxim radiated power P =10 W and maximum
antenna gain Gant = 4.1 dBi:
Making the further conservative assumption that, at the point of maximum exposure, the whole
impinging power over a cross-section equal to one face of a 1-g cube of tissue (an area equal to 1cm2
assuming that the tissue density is 1g/cm3) is absorbed by the body inside that cube, the following
upper bound for the peak 1-g average SAR is derived.
This value is below the US FCC peak 1-g average SAR limits [11] for both controlled (occupational)
and uncontrolled (general public) environments, 8 W/kg and 1.6 W/kg, respectively.

Indoor Exposure Prediction Model
This section describes how to determine the indoor exposure model prediction of an antenna or at
ground level.
Exposure in Front of the Antenna
The cylindrical-wave model defined in Clause 8.3.4 of the EN50383:2010 standard is applied to
determine the compliance boundaries for workers and general public for a typical system configuration
of the SLR 1000 Repeater.

Per the reference frame in Figure 43: Reference Frame for the Point of Interest (POI) Cylindrical Co-
Ordinates on page 102, the cylindrical-wave model is applicable in the volume described in cylindrical
co-ordinates for omni-directional array antennas as follows:

where
available power at the antenna port (W);
physical antenna length (metres);
peak antenna directivity (unit-less), assumed equal to the peak gain ;
electrical down-tilt angle of the antenna main beam (radians), and
is the distance from the antenna center (metres). Spatial power density averaging may be required by
some regulations. As the formula (1) predicts the peak power density, it represents a conservative
estimate of the average power density. Thus there is no need to compute the latter.
Exposure at Ground Level
Several methods can be employed to determine the EME exposure at ground level.
Such an assessment is not necessary if the mounting height of the antenna is larger than the
compliance distance in front of the antenna, computed using the EN50383:2010 methodology outlined
in
Exposure in Front of the Antenna on page 102. If this is not feasible, then the following approach can
be employed.
At ground level exposure occurs in the antenna far-field. The antenna phase center is assumed to be
the mounting height. The resulting predictive equation for the power density is:
where is the elevation gain pattern, which is approximated by the following expression:

where is the free-space wavenumber and L is the effective antenna length yielding
the appropriate vertical beamwidth, while H is the antenna height above ground and d is the point of
interest (POI) distance from the vertical antenna projection to ground (see the following figure). The
multiplicative factor 2.56 is introduced to enforce near-perfect, in-phase ground reflection as
recommended in [2]. In this case, spatial averaging is not carried out to make the EME exposure
assessment more conservative.
Figure 44: Schematic of the Ground-Level Exposure Model Adopted for the Assessment
Typical System Configuration
The SLR 1000 Repeater operates in different frequency ranges with different channels transmitting 10
W radio frequency (RF) power.
The typical system configuration comprises an omnidirectional array antenna featuring 6–10 dBd gain,
installed at or above 20 m from ground level, and fed by the repeater through a combiner characterized
by a typical 3 dB transmission loss, and a 30 m 7/8" coaxial cable characterized by a typical 2.7 dB/
100m loss, resulting in a total 3.9 dB transmission loss. Based on these characteristics, the RF power
at the antenna input is about 20 W.
Since shorter antennas provide a conservative EME exposure assessment from equation (1), when
, the parameters of a typical 6.6 dBd antennas are employed (it has to be verified that the
resulting compliance distances are indeed smaller than ). Such an antenna (such as, Andrew
DB408) would exhibit a typical elevation beamwidth of about 14 degrees.
Exposure Limits
Guidelines are used for the EME exposure assessment.
Based on the operating frequency range, the most conservative power density limits are those defined
in the ICNIRP guidelines [1]. The guidelines are 10.1 W/m2 for occupational exposure, and 2.02 W/m2
for general public exposure.

EME Exposure Evaluation
This section describes how to evaluate the EME exposure of an antenna or at ground level.
Exposure in Front of the Antenna
The assessment is based on the following characteristics of the Andrew DB408 antenna:
6.6
+
2.15
GA = 10 10 = 7.5 P = 22.9 W
γ
= 0 L = 2.7 m
The parameter is thus . Upon inserting the power density limits established in
Exposure Limits on page 104 into formula (1), the following distances for occupational and general
public exposure compliance are respectively determined:
14cm
and
67cm
As both these distances are less than , the aforementioned choice (Typical System
Configuration on page 104) of considering the shorter, lower gain antenna to perform the assessment
is deemed valid. Longer, higher gain antennas would yield shorter compliance distances, for the same
input antenna power and operating frequency range.
Exposure at Ground Level
Since the antenna installation height above ground level in the typical system configuration (20 m) is
larger than either of the compliance distances determined in Exposure in Front of the Antenna, the
EME exposure at ground level is always compliant with the exposure limits defined in the ICNIRP
guidelines.
Compliance Boundary Description
Based on the analysis in EME Exposure Evaluation on page 105, the compliance boundaries for
occupational and general public exposure are defined as cylinders enclosing the antenna (see Figure
45: Compliance Boundary for General Public (GP) and Ocupational (OCC) Exposure on page 106),
extending 75 cm (one wavelength) above and below the physical antenna, with radii:

Product Put In Service
Some regulations require that additional exposure assessments be performed when putting the
product in service, to account for antenna site-specific circumstances such as the environment
(such as, electromagnetic scatterers) and other antennas. In such cases, certain standards [7]–[10]
may need to be considered to determine the most suitable compliance assessment methodology.
