- 1 -ApplicationThis guide should be applied whenever a need exists to add Digital Repeater capability to anexisting system or when this capability is being included with a new installation.Safety GuidelinesThe general safety information in this guideline applies to both operating and service personnel.Specific warnings and cautions will be found in other parts of this manual where they apply, butmay not appear in this summary. Failure to comply with these precautions or specific warningselsewhere in the manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use ofequipment. Cellular Specialties, Inc. assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply withthese requirements:GroundingThis Digital Repeater system is designed to operate from 100-240 VAC @ 1.7A max. currentand should always be operated with the ground wire properly connected. Do not removeor otherwise alter the grounding lug on the power cord.Explosive AtmospheresTo avoid explosion or fire, do not operate this product in the presence of flammablegases or fumes.Lightning DangerDo not install or make adjustments to this unit during an electrical storm. Use of a suitablelightning arrester, such as CSI’s model number CSI-CAP, is very strongly recommended.No User Serviceable Parts InsideHAZARDOUS VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT WHEN THE COVER IS REMOVED.

- 2 -Product Features• Easy Installation, Small, Light weight, Single Unit Type Housing• Built-in AGC, ALC, and an Easy to use Auto Shut Down FunctionProduct IntroductionThe SMR-700/800 Repeater has been developed for use within enclosed structures where signal fromlocal cell sites to operate cell phones is poor or unavailable. Adequate signal must be available outside thestructure as a prerequisite to achieving in-building coverage. The SMR-700/800 Repeater is connected toan external antenna, usually on the roof, and to one or more internal antennas placed strategicallythroughout the area where wireless service is desired.The external antenna typically is directional, such as a “yagi”. Internal antennas are typically omnidirec-tional, although various other types may be used depending on the coverage application. The SMR-700/800 Repeater amplifies both the “uplink”(phone to tower) & “downlink”(tower to phone) signals thusfacilitating communications to and from the intended wireless infrastructure.With a maximum total of +80dB nominal gain on both the up and down links, gain can be adjusted over arange from +50dB to +80dB in 1.0dB steps. Control of the repeater is achieved utilizing a computerconnected to comm. port 1 or 2 or via Ethernet cable connected to the Ethernet port. There are also LEDindicators to indicate ALARM status, OSC, and Power.Special Installation Directions• SMR-700/800 Repeater has been designed to be used in a limited area.• Electric shock may occur if repeater is installed in close proximity to water.• Keep the unit clean and dust free during installation.• Do not place cables or tools in close proximity to the repeater that may damage it.• Do not wear jewelry, watches, or any type of metal accessories when installing the unit.• Check the installation site for hazardous conditions, such as water covered floors,or badlyworn or damaged cables, prior to installation.• Lifespan and performance of the repeater may be reduced if the unit is operating outsideof its temperature range.• Opening or disassembling the repeater will render its warranty void.Important Safety InformationAntennas used for the purpose of radiating signals indoors are limited to a maximum gain of 3dBi. Theoutdoor antenna used for the purpose of communicating to the wireless infrastructure is limited to 14dBigain, or any combination of gain and loss that equals 14dB at input. Each antenna must be positioned toobserve minimum separation requirements from all users and bystanders. The following guidelinesshould be used when considering seperation distances.INDOOR antennas must be placed so that under normal conditions, personnel cannot come within 20cm (8.0 in.) from any inside antenna. Adhering to this minimum separation will ensure that the employeeor bystander cannot exceed RF exposures beyond the maximum permissable limit as defined by section1.1310 i.e. limits for General Population / Uncontrolled Exposure.OUTDOOR antenna must be positioned so that under normal conditions, personnel cannot approachcloser than 120 cm (4 ft.). A directional antenna having a maximum gain of 14 dBi is used, and precau-tions should be taken to prevent personnel from routinely passing through the main radiation beam at adistance closer than specified.
- 3 -Function Block diagramThe function of the SMR-700/800 is as indicated in the block diagram above.•Multiplexer Block: combines several different frequencies into one or divides severaldifferent frequencies, combines and transfers the Network and iDEN A, or iDEN B, andtransfers the DL and UL signal separately.•LNA/AGC Block: Amplifies the low end signal coming from the antenna whileminimizing noise.•Up/Down Converter Block: Made up of a Mixer and an IF SAW Filter. It convertsfrequencies to different frequencies that utilize better filter performance.•HPA/DRV AMP Block: A power amplifier for the repeater’s high output, high gain andhigh linearity.•PLL Block: Localizes signal for Up/Down converting.•CPU Block: Controls all repeater functions•PSU Block: Power supply receiving 110AC volts and converting it to +24VDC and +6VDC.
