Installation and Operation Guide 9 Installation Guidelines and recommendations It is important that the repeater does not exceed the working limits detailed in the technical specification section of this guide. When rack mounting the repeater, ensure sufficient air flow to prevent overheating and secure the unit within the rack system. Cabling should be carefully routed and secured to prevent connections becoming loose. When desk mounted, always attach the four desk mount feet to the repeater. The desk must have a flat level surface. The repeater creates low level background noise and it is recommended that it is not located in an office environment. It is recommended that when wall mounted, it must be positioned so that it is clearly visible to personnel to reduce the risk of personal injury by collision. Ensure sufficient air flow to prevent overheating. Cabling should be carefully routed and secured to prevent a trip hazard and connections becoming loose. The repeater has a battery backup facility that maintains service in the event of an AC power supply failure. It is recommended that both AC and DC power supplies are connected to the repeater to prevent loss of service. If the AC power supply fails, the repeater will shut down and reboot using the DC power supply. Time taken to reboot using the DC supply is typically 60 seconds. When the AC supply is restored, the repeater will switch to the AC supply automatically without a reboot. Wall-mount bracket installation The wall-mount bracket is supplied with the following items: Item Qty ST6 x 35 expansion screw 6 M5 x12 screw 4 Plastic plug 6 Only attach the wall bracket to a solid wall using the fixings supplied. Use the bracket as a template to position the holes on the wall. Ensure that the bracket is level. Use a small punch or pencil to mark the position of the holes on to the wall. Drill 6mm diameter holes on the wall in the positions marked and drill to a depth to suit the length of the plastic plugs and screws. Insert the plastic plugs into the holes.
DMR Repeater SBR8000, SCR8000, SER8000 10 Hold the bracket securely, keeping it level. Secure into position using the ST6 x 35 expansion screws. Ensure that the bracket is secure and level.

Secure the repeater to the wall bracket using the four M5 x 12 screws as shown. Attaching the desk mount feet If the repeater is installed onto a desk or bench, the four screw type desk mount feet, supplied with the product, should be attached. Using a soft cloth or rubber mat to protect the external surfaces, place the repeater with the underside facing upwards, onto a flat surface. Secure the feet into position using the screws supplied.
Installation and Operation Guide 11 Connections All connectors are located on the back panel of the repeater. Ensure that the cables are routed so that they are kept well clear of the antenna cable. Route cables carefully to eliminate the possibility of damage by sharp edges. Ensure all cabling is secured and routed to avoid the risk of a trip hazard. AC power supply Connect AC power supply to the 110/240V AC power input connector. Connect the repeater grounding point to an appropriate earthing point. DC power supply The Repeater Battery Backup cable (optional) is required to connect the repeater to the DC power source. Connect the repeater grounding point to an appropriate earthing point. Connect the cable to the DC connector on the repeater. Connect the red wire to the positive terminal on the DC power source. Connect the black wire to the negative terminal on the DC power source. If the power cable needs to be shortened, it must be shortened from the DC power source connection end. A fuse must be fitted to the positive line (red wire) when the cable has been shortened. A new fuse holder must be fitted (not supplied) because the existing fuse holder cannot be reused. The fuse must be positioned close to the DC power source positive terminal. CAUTION! Failure to connect the wires to the correct terminal of the battery or power supply may damage the product and void any warranty. CAUTION! DO NOT extend the Repeater Battery Backup cable. This will affect the backup operation. Antenna In order to reduce the risk of RF burns, the antenna must always remain connected whilst the equipment is switched on. Under no circumstances should the antenna be connected or disconnected whilst the equipment is switched on. Do not touch the antenna when the repeater is switched on. CAUTION! Do not operate the repeater without an appropriate RF load attached.
DMR Repeater SBR8000, SCR8000, SER8000 12 Basic operation Power on/off To switch the repeater on, operate the Power on/off switch. The Power on/off status indicator illuminates and the repeater runs a start-up test routine that takes approximately 60 seconds. The Alarm indicator illuminates for the duration of the test. On completion of the test routine, the Analogue mode or Digital mode indicator (depending on the selected active channel preference) illuminates. To switch the repeater off, operate the Power on/off switch. Voice and data transfer The repeater uses different frequencies when receiving and transmitting. Received signals that are weak due to attenuation are amplified and transmitted at a higher strength than received. When transmitting, the repeater mode indicator illuminates. If the repeater is transmitting an analogue signal, the Analogue mode indicator flashes when transmitting. If the transmitting signal is digital the Digital mode indicator flashes when transmitting. The frequency and DCS/CTCSS for analogue signals, is configured using the DMR Manager software. Alarm mode The Alarm indicator on the front panel illuminates when certain operational states warrant. When the repeater is in start-up mode, the LED remains illuminated for the duration of the start-up routine (approx. 60 seconds). LED state Alarm condition Illuminated for more than 60 seconds The internal temperature exceeds the working limits. or Rx and Tx PLL (Phased Lock Loop) have failed. or Tx VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) is incorrect. Flashing once every second Rx PLL failure. Flashing every two seconds Tx PLL failure. Configuring the Repeater The repeater is configured using the DMR Manager software run from a computer connected directly to the repeater or over a network. Connect a standard LAN/WAN cable (RJ45 connector) to the Network connector on the repeater with the other end connected to either a computer or network connection.
