How to Register a Repeater

If you want to expand the coverage area of the system, this is done by adding 

repeaters to the system. As indicated by the name, it adds a larger area to the 

already existing coverage area.

In general terms, KIRK System 500 2G4 contains 6 available speech channels 

in the coverage area of the base station.
There are 2 simultaneous speech channels in the coverage area of each 

Repeater. These 2 channels are ”borrowed” from the base station, and are not 

an addition to the system’s 6 channels.
Each handset uses one channel when making a call – internal or external. Thus, 

in total 6 handsets can be in use at the same time.
When 6 handsets are ” in the air ” the system sends out a busy signal. On KIRK 

handsets this is indicated by a flashing antenna icon in the lower left corner of 

the display.

Using the Repeater Programming Tool, the following must be registered: The 

system ARI code (Indicated on the label on the back of the base station) 

Number of the base station (Always 01when not dealing with Repeater Jumps) 

Number of the repeater. (2-7)
When the registration has been finalised, the Repeater is ready to be placed in 

the area in which coverage is wanted.

The repeater does not add capacity, ie. more channels, but only a larger 

coverage area. The repeater can only be registered into the system when 

placed within the coverage area of the base station ( Please read the 

repeater deployment note on the CD-ROM for further information on 

different types of repeaters).
