Copyright © 2015 WirEng® - All Rights Reserved – Patent Pending To have our engineers recommend the best system configuration for you, simply email us at support@wireng.com with as many details as possible about the structure where you need coverage, and we'll be pleased to assist you. Installing Your System The location of the Donor (external) antenna is critical because its path should not encompass the service antenna(s), hence, the Donor antenna optimal location will almost always be on a corner of the roof (or if the outside signal is not too weak, on one of the outside walls). If installation on an external antenna is difficult or undesired, you may use a directional window antenna such as the WinAerial™, but only if there is a window in the structure that is in the direction of the service provider(s) tower(s). Once the Donor antenna has been installed, simply choose an indoor place for the sohoBoost™ (near a power outlet), run the appropriate coaxial cable to it, and connect it to the Donor Antenna port, either directly or through the LightningPro™ for lightning strikes protection (highly recommended). DO NOT POWER ON THE UNIT JUST YET. The sohoBoost™ comes with the WideAnt-X™ as the Donor antenna, and the DomeAnt-Alpha™ as the Coverage antenna. The two included ultra-low loss coaxial cables lengths are 50 feet (for the Donor antenna) and 25 feet (for the Coverage antenna). As far as Service/Coverage antennas, it's always recommended to use at least two of them, unless your space is quite small. In general, we recommend one Coverage antenna for each 2,000 square feet of contiguous space. Simply keep in mind that, the more Coverage antennas you have, the better the coverage. Notice that you can connect up to eight Coverage antennas to one sohoBoost™ (via one EMSplit™ and two EMSplit4™), but you can keep adding more and more Coverage antennas by inserting additional sohoBoost™ units with the W2I™ inline converter option without limits on the size of the structure you need to cover. As far as the coaxial cables for both the Donor antenna and the Coverage antenna(s), it is highly recommended that you use the WIR400™ Ultra-Low Loss coaxial cable type (unless the distance between the antennas is very small, such as 15 feet or so, in which case you may use the WIR195™ or WIR200™ low-loss types). Once the Coverage antenna(s) is/are installed, simply connect their cables to the sohoBoost™ Coverage port (or to the EMSplit™ in case of multiple antennas) and power on the unit. If the LIMIT red light is lit, you must change the orientation of the antennas or increase the distance between them, as the unit detected intersecting radiation patter between the Donor and Coverage antennas. In such cases where the antennas' orientation cannot be changed (i.e., when using omni directional antennas) or where the space is very small, you must add one or more WBSA™ (Wide Band Signal Attenuator) to either or both sohoBoost™ ports, to limit it's power and range. SohoBoost™ by WirEng® - Copyright © 2015 WirEng® - All Rights Reserved – Patent Pending If the LIMIT light is off and the POWER light is on, then the sohoBoost™ is operating normally and the EXT3, EXT2, EXT1 lights will give you an idea of how much signal the Donor antenna is capturing, with EXT3 being the strongest signal and EXT1 the weakest. Notice that the sohoBoost™ will also function properly (at its maximum sensitivity) if none of thee EXT lights will be lit, although in such extreme case you may want to upgrade the Donor antenna to the biggest available (the GiAnt™) or stack as many antennas as necessary (vertically, on the same pole) via an EMSplit™, EMSplit3™, or EMSplit4™ (each additional antenna will add 3dB to the overall sensitivity, so three 28 dB antennas, for example, will result in an overall gain of approximately 34 dB). Special Situations Notice: In all of the issues described below, we are ruling out the possibility of an equipment malfunction, because each sohoBoost™ is individually tested right after manufacturing and then right before being sold, however, in the very rare even where you suspect a malfunction, please contact us at support@wireng.com for a warranty repair or exchange. We're also ruling out cables/connectors short-circuits or discontinuities, as it is very easy to check for such even using a simple multimeter. Issue: The structure where you need to enhance coverage is among multiple cellular towers, and you want to capture the signal from/to all towers. Solution: Simply use the UniAnt™, which is omni-directional, or if that's not possible because the LIMIT light detects feedback, then install one Donor antenna for each tower, individually aiming them at each tower, via an EMSplit, EMSplit3™, or EMSplit4™. Issue: The LIMIT light is always on, no matter the distance or orientation of the Donor and Coverage antennas. Solution: For such small/difficult environments we recommend a lower-gain antenna, for example our ultra-compact SleekAnt, or an antenna with a shield (such as our YagiRef series or the UniAnt for omni). If that fails, however, you must add one or more WBSA™ (Wide Band Signal Attenuator) to either or both sohoBoost™ ports, to limit it's power and range. For example, if the EXT3 both the EXT3 and EXT2 lights are on, that means that the outside signal has plenty of strength, and thus adding a WBSA to the Donor port should resolve this issue. Issue: None of the three EXT lights are on, and there is no coverage enhancement (or the enhancement is barely noticeable) near the Coverage antenna(s). Solution: The outside signal is too weak, either because the provider(s) tower(s) is too far, or it is blocked by obstacles (trees, building, hills, etc.). Simply upgrade to the most powerful Donor antenna available, called the GiAnt™, or if you already have the GiAnt™ installed, try different orientations (to catch a "bouncing" signal) or add more GiAnt™ stacked vertically and aimed in the same direction (up to four GiAnt™ using the EMSPlit4™).
