Connect the equipment frame ground to the building ground.Operating the APEX8930 with antennas in very close proximity facing each other can lead to severe damage to the repeater. RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION A minimum separation distance of 7.9 inches (20cm) must be maintained between the user and the external antenna of the repeater to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements. For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov This equipment is for indoor use only and enables the communication wiring to communicate inside the building.

AGC is used to adjust the gain to an appropriate level for a range of input signal levels.ASD (Automatic Shutdown) ASD helps protect the amplifier from over load. ASD helps protect the network by preventing excessive signal output power. ASD does not: 1. Prevent oscillation 2. Protect from excessive input. There are three parameters: ASD Level,ASD Time, and ASD Iteration.If the output power exceeds higher than the “ASD LEVEL”, the repeater will shut down for “ASD TIME” seconds. If shutdown repeats “Iteration” times, the repeater will require manual re-start.

The function measures isolation, detects input level and assing gain to achieve maximum output power. The function ends with the repeater set to amplify siganals in both directions within the confines of the band selection. Before running easy setup, set the center frequency and bandwidth (refer 5.5.4).GIsolatoin Check can be executed at anytime to measure isolation between the donor and server antennas. Isolation Check momentarily disables service. Isolation check automatically runs when factory default is initiated. GFactory Default restores the amplifier to its initial state. The function ends with amplifiers off, AGC mode off, gain set to minimum(55dB) and UL gain offset set to 0dB. Band sellection and all other system parameters are not changed.

The user may enter gain values manually. Manual gain control is an alternative to autonatic gain control(AGC). Manual gain is disabled (grayed out) when AGC mode is on. Gain cannot be controlled manually above the available gain found on the status page. The system will not allow gain to be increased such that maximum output power(30dBm) is exceeded. GGain Tracking sets UL gain equal to DL gain. The feature helps maintain forward and reverse link ballance. The function control is grayed out when AGC mode is on. GAutomatic Gain Control :  In contrast to manual gain control, automatic gain control (AGC) sets gain such that the desired amplifier output level (dBm) is automatically set. The user controls gain by adjusting the AGC level. The user may set the level from 0dBm to 30dBm.

AGC Window size = AGC Operation Range Æ 25~30dBm  AGC may also be used to match the repeater to a DAS (distributed antenna system). AGC level may be restricted by available gain and DL input power.GUL Gain offset is used in conjuction with AGC to reduce the amount of amplification in the reverse direction (uplink). In most cases UL offset is set to 0dB.GAutomatic Shutdown (ASD):  ASD temporarily shuts down the amplifier if the ASD level is exeded. It is not necessary to turn off ASD. ASD events are stored in the alarm hostory log. Repeated ASD events will eventually shutdown the amplifier permanently and trigger the external shutdown lamp.  ASD Level is set to 33dBm by default.

If the APEX8930 repeater does not work normally after completing the following troubleshooting, please contact your local dealer or R-tron America’s Tech support line (1-888-31R-TRON). External alarm lamps on the front of the repeater indicate current condition.

Repeater service degraded or not available. Login to the web GUI. Check the setting, alarm status and input/output power status. Gain, Input/ Output power or DC Current are changing randomly or appear to be unstable. OscillationMost common cause for unstable gain and power is feedback oscillation brought on by insufficient antenna isolation. 1. Reduce repeater gain and/or AGC level. 2. Improve the field conditions that cause poor antenna isolation: For example: make an effort to increase downlink input and reduce gain. The red light is on. Automatic Shutdown Automatic shutdown occurs when the amplifier is over driven. The amplifier is most commonly overdriven by: 1. Oscillation due to poor antenna isolation. 2. High input power combined with high gain settings including high UL input from the mobile device. User the alarm history page to help determine the cause of the shutdown. Eliminate the root cause of the shutdown and restart the repeater.

Uplink UL Output Power UL output power alarm is red when the UL output exceeds rated amplifier output. If UL Input Power is high and UL gain is high, the repeater is vulnerable to excessive UL input power from mobile transmitters: Determine the root cause of high mobile TX power.
