1.2 INTRODUCTION
The TELCOSAT RBB 850 is a bidirectional amplifier system consisting of UPLINK and DOWNLINK
amplifiers.
When conventional cellular communication systems cannot penetrate a structure, or reach a target
area, such as inside buildings, parking structures, tunnels and remote areas, other methods and or
equipment are required.
To overcome coverage issues cellular repeaters can be deployed. Repeaters manufactured by Telcosat,
Model RBB850 will alleviate many of these coverage issues.
The Telcosat RBB850 repeater has full remote control, monitoring and alarm feature, accessible over the
Internet or IP network. The RBB850 has an internal web interface and a user friendly GUI software
interface.
The GUI interface (Graphical User Interface) controls all functions of the repeater.
The RBB850 repeater also comes with digital power control and oscillation detection and control.

CHAPTER 2
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
2.1 GENERAL
The TELCOSAT RBB 850 provides service at cellular radio frequencies 824/849MHz & 869/894MHz.
Downlink RF signals from a donor cell site are routed through a pick-up antenna, through a Diplexer
then continues to be process by the amplifier chain. The RF signal is amplified and filtered to reject out-
of-band IM products and unwanted radio signals. The downlink RF is injected into a fill-in antenna
(coverage antenna) for null-area coverage.
The Up-link signals from mobile units are received into the coverage antenna of the repeater. The
incoming signal then passes through a Diplexer, then amplified in the Up-link modules and finally the
power amplifier. The Up-link process is the same as the Down-Link process.
2.2 OSCILLATION DETECTION
The RBB 850 has an oscillation detection function. Upon detection of oscillation the repeater will shut
down for a short duration, approximately 25 seconds. After 25 seconds the repeater will restart, reduce
the RF gain and determine if the repeater is stable. The repeater will continue this process until the
oscillations is eliminated. If oscillation cannot be eliminated the repeater will activate the disable mode
and will cease to transmit.
The repeater requires a power cycle to reset the auto oscillation detection process, or alternatively the
repeater can be reactivated via the GUI web interface.

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
3.1 WARNING
Cellular Repeaters should be installed by fully trained technicians. Improper installation and excessive
RF power levels can cause interference with the operation of cellular towers.
Antennas must be mounted in a secure safe manner and according to safe working practices.
To protect your equipment, lightning protection hardware is recommended when installing a cellular
repeater unit.
Antennas must not be installed near overhead electrical power lines as this can cause serious injury
and or death.
TELCOSAT RPT 900
Document use is restricted to that described on cover
11
If you require any additional installation guidelines then please consult your supplier or consult with
an RF Systems Engineer.
3.2 TOOLS REQUIRED
Spectrum analyzer with a tracking generator, frequency ranges 1 Gigahertz.
Optional Signal Generator for onsite testing of the repeater, frequency range of 1 Gigahertz minimum.
Antenna analyzer.
Computer with all necessary cables.
Multi-meter.
Hand tools.
Water proofing tape.
Coax cable straps for support.
Cellular Phone.
3.3 ANTENNA REQUIREMENTS
ANTENNAS: please read your manufacturers antenna specifications before installation. Your antenna
will require a type “N” connection. The antenna, coax, and fittings must be 50 ohms impedance.
The cellular repeater requires antennas that operate in the desired frequency range of the cellular
repeater. The RBB850 Repeater has a frequency operating range of 824 to 849 Megahertz for the up-
link, and 869 to894 Megahertz for the downlink. Your antennas must operate within these frequencies.
Failure to select the proper antennas will degrade the performance of your repeater.
NOTE:
“UP-LINK” is the radio link from your hand held cellular phone to the cellular tower in the frequency
range of 824/ 849 Megahertz
“DOWN-LINK” is the radio link from the cellular tower to your cellular phone in the frequency range of
869 /894 Megahertz.
3.4 ANTENNA ISOLATION & COAX CABLES
All repeaters require antenna isolation to prevent oscillation. The usable gain level of your repeater is
directly linked to the antenna isolation values. The maximum gain of your repeater must be adjusted to
a minimum of 10 dB lower than your antenna isolation values. For example, if your antenna isolation
value is 75dB then your maximum usable repeater gain is 65dB.
Due to the variations of system layouts and requirements it is not possible to have one procedure that
will suffice every installation. You are strongly advised to acquire the services of an RF system designer
to calculate your antenna isolation requirements.
Ensure that your antennas are at the maximum possible distance apart. Do not place antennas in close
proximity to each other; otherwise you will activate the oscillation detection process.
Coax cables should be low loss 50 ohm, and suitable for 800 Mhz band frequency.
Antenna connections should be clean and moisture free. Do not spray lubricant into the connectors as
this prevents the signal traveling through the coax. Use a cleaning solvent that has no oil and does not
leave any residue. High quality oil-less contact cleaner is suitable.
TELCOSAT RPT 900

All coax connectors must be water tight and wrapped with water proof tape. Any moisture in the
connectors will degrade or eliminate the signals.
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS ON THE RBB850
Connect the antenna that is aimed at the Cell Tower to the bottom left side N connector.
Connect the antenna that is aimed towards the Area Fill (target site) to the bottom right side N
connector.
Connect your Ethernet cable to the connector socket located on the left side of the power on LED light.
NOTE; If you require a water proof boot cover for the Ethernet connection contact your Repeater
supplier.

ADJUSTING UP-LINK TRANSMIT POWER TO CELLULAR TOWER
4.14 Adjusting RF Transmit Levels
After installing your repeater system you will need adjust the RF transmit levels for the Forward Link and
the Reverse Link.
Power up the repeater, log into the GUI interface. Go to the Repeater Set up Page. Adjust the gain to
zero on the Forward Link Gain and the Reverse Link Gain. Click the save settings button.
Start increasing the gain on the Forward Link 5 dB increments. Click the save settings button. View your
cell phone and look for an increase in the bars (signal strength) or use a Spectrum Analyzer with
attached antenna.
Continue to increase the Forward Link gain at 5dB increments until to see a suitable increase in signal
strength. Note, it is not necessary to have maximum bars, 3 to 4 bars is adequate. For in-building
coverage to much signal will cause the building to leak out excessive RF and cause possible interference.
The next step is to adjust the RF power going back to the cell tower. (Reverse Link Gain)
Using your cell phone, initiate a call. If the call does not connect then increase the Reverse Link Gain
2dB, then click the save settings buttons.
Every time you increase the Reverse Link Gain use your cell phone and try to make a call. Repeat the
process, increase the Reverse Link Gain 2dB increments, Click the save settings button.
Eventually you will be able to make a cellular call with quick connection time. At this point increase the
Reverse Link Gain by an additional 2dB then your system should be configured to work correctly.
4.15 Setting the Maximum RF Power Level for the Reverse Link.
It is very important not to have too much reverse link RF power to the cell tower. Excessive RF power
towards the cell tower will cause interference and non-functionality to the wireless network.
Adjusting the repeater reverse link correctly will prevent cell tower interference. This process is
explained in the Setting RF Transmit Levels.
ADJUSTING REVERSE LINK MAXIMUM POWER LEVEL.
Additional protection is gained if the reverse link maximum power level is adjusted to prevent the
possibility of sudden unwanted high input RF levels. This can happen in various ways, mobile cellular
vehicle boosters coming within range of the cellular repeaters, malfunctioning cellular phones, or other
stray signals.
TELCOSAT RPT 900
Document use is restricted to that described on cover
21
The RBB850 has an adjustable Maximum allowable RF Power limit. The maximum allowable RF power
limit is 25dBm. The digitally controlled attenuator will not permit RF signal levels greater than 25dBm.
The user can decrease the maximum allowable RF transmit power from 25dBm to 0.0dBm. The
microprocessor controlled digital attenuator will maintain the preset allowable RF transmit power limit
regardless of unwanted high input signal levels.
Decreasing the level of maximum RF reverse link power helps to reduce possible cellular tower
interference for sudden elevated RF power, especially when the RBB850 repeater is installed in areas
where the cellular towers are less than 5 kilometres (2 miles) distance.
Under normal operations and when the cell tower is less than 2 miles away the user can reduce the
Reverse Link Maximum power to +10dB to +15dB when connected to a 10dB to 14dB Donor antenna.
