Draft8 General Safety and Compliance Information Transportable Mobile Repeater User’s Guide© Copyright Tait International Limited March 20191.2 Equipment Safety1.2.1 Installation and Servicing PersonnelThe equipment should be installed and serviced only by qualified personnel.1.2.2 Preventing Damage to the PAThe repeater has been designed to operate safely under a wide range of antenna loading conditions. Transmitting into a low VSWR will maximize the power delivered to the antenna.Notice Do not remove the load from the TB7304 while it is transmit-ting.Load transients (switching or removing the load) can damage the PA output stage. See MBD-00001-xx TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual for recommendations. 1.2.3 ESD PrecautionsNotice This equipment contains devices which are susceptible to damage from static charges. You must handle these devices carefully and according to the procedures described in the manufacturers’ data books.We recommend you purchase an antistatic bench kit from a reputable manufacturer and install and test it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Figure 1.1 shows a typical antistatic bench set-up.You can obtain further information on antistatic precautions and the dangers of electrostatic discharge (ESD) from standards such as ANSI/ESD S20.20-1999 or BS EN 100015-4 1994.

Draft10 General Safety and Compliance Information Transportable Mobile Repeater User’s Guide© Copyright Tait International Limited March 20191.4.4 Health, Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility in EuropeIn the European Community, radio and telecommunications equipment is regulated by Directive 2014/53/EU. The requirements of this directive include protection of health and safety of users, as well as electromagnetic compatibility.Intended Purpose of ProductThis product is a radio transceiver. It is intended for radio communications in the Private Mobile Radio (PMR) or Public Access Mobile Radio (PAMR) services, to be used in all member states of the European Union (EU) and states within the European Economic Area (EEA). This product can be programmed to transmit on frequencies that are not harmonized throughout the EU/EEA, and will require a license to operate in each member state.Declaration of ConformityYou can download the formal Declaration of Conformity from https://www.taitradio.com/our-resources/compliance#European.1.5 Device and Network SecurityIf this radio network equipment is used for mission-critical applications, it is important to be able to ensure security and continuity of operation. For IP-network-connected equipment, it is also important to ensure that this equipment is not a means of compromising other equipment in the network.All network elements should be physically secured, where possible. This includes the use of locked cabinets and locked rooms. Seals on connectors can also provide a visual indication of unauthorized tampering.Tait recommends that all network and audio connectors should be sealed with the stick-on type of seal. The seal should reveal if any of the connectors have been unplugged, or if any unauthorized equipment has been plugged in.The seals should be difficult to remove without breaking, and should bridge between the cable and equipment side (plug and socket) of the connection.Seals should cover any unused network or audio sockets. This includes the Ethernet connector on any adaptor front panels, any spare switch ports, and the console port on the router and switch.The seals should be difficult to reproduce. A sticker initialed or signed by the technician should satisfy this.Seals must be replaced if they need to be disturbed during maintenance.
DraftTransportable Mobile Repeater User’s Guide Introduction 11© Copyright Tait International Limited March 20191IntroductionThe Transportable Mobile Repeater (TMR) is a complete transportable radio solution in a rugged case. It consists of:■a TB7300 repackaged into a rugged pelican case with an internal AC supply■an internal 12v SLA battery■a charge circuit and switching circuits for external DC supply.Notice TMR was designed to be waterproof, but do not operate it in the rain with the lid open.An N-type antenna connector on the outside of the case enables a sturdy external antenna connection. An Amphenol screw-lock connector for the DC input is also located on the outside of the case.Four LEDs are present to indicate the status of the repeater. Two further LEDs are located on the outside front of the case to indicate the status of the battery while charging.
Draft12 Basic Operation Transportable Mobile Repeater User’s Guide© Copyright Tait International Limited March 20192 Basic Operation2.1 Battery Select SwitchWarning When shipping and charging the transportable, set the battery select switch to External DC/Battery Isolate to comply with safety regulations.The battery select switch is protected with a raised red surround to avoid accidental switching on when the lid is closed. Warning Risk of missing calls! Switching between Internal Bat-tery and External DC/Battery Isolate will likely cause the trans-portable to restart!When the switch is set to Internal Battery, the transportable runs from the internal battery (or mains supply if connected).When the switch is set to External DC/Battery Isolate, the internal battery is disconnected from all circuitry in the transportable. In this situation, all the circuits in the transportable,including the repeater, can only run from an external DC supply. When connected to a mains lead, the charger circuitry is automatically switched on and connected to the internal battery.2.2 Battery PowerWith a fully-charged battery, an operating regime of 10% transmit at 15W, and 90% standby time will keep the transportable running for approx. 8 hours (with a new battery).2.3 Battery ChargingWarning Risk of fire! The lid must be open when charging. The VRLA battery may vent when charged at a current greater than 3A. This does not occur during normal charging.The transportable will shut itself down when the internal battery voltage drops too low. When that level of discharge has been reached, it will take up to 12 hours to recharge the battery using an AC mains connection. When

Notice When the transportable is not in use, always switch the bat-tery select switch to External DC/Battery Isolate.2.4 LED Indication Details2.4.1 Repeatera. after the four power-up sequences2.4.2 StatusThis LED is only lit when an AC supply is connected.2.4.3 ChargeThis LED is only lit when an AC supply is connected.LED Indication DetailsRepeater Power green repeater power is onAll LEDs/Alarm flashing power up sequence is in progressAlarm on repeater is in offline modeAlarm flashingaan alarm condition needs to be clearedReceive orange receiver is receivingTransmit orange transmitter is keyedLED Indication DetailsStatus green battery is fully charged or above 20% chargedStatus red, flashing battery is lowStatus off battery has been disconnected due to low voltage
Draft14 Basic Operation Transportable Mobile Repeater User’s Guide© Copyright Tait International Limited March 20192.5 AntennaThe transportable is a 15W Repeater that requires a remote mounted antenna with a suitable ground plane. This antenna and internal duplexer must be tuned to the frequency of the Repeater. The transportable has an N-type antenna connector.Caution Risk of harm from RF radiation! While the Repeater is oper-ating (transmitting), you must ensure that there is always a distance of 0.9m between people and the antenna. This is the minimum safe dis-tance.2.6 Mains Socket WiringThe repeater is shipped with a Schurter waterproof AC Mains socket this will need to be wired by an electrician or electrically registered person.Schurter Mains Socket wiringLED Indication DetailsCharge red battery is being chargedCharge off battery is fully charged
