Environmental requirements

Avoid installing repeaters on large concrete or marble columns because these columns affect 
radio coverage. If possible, place the base station a minimum of one meter/3.3 feet from these 
types of columns.

Do not install a repeater with the antenna housings near metal objects. Be careful not to 
damage existing wiring or panels.

Do not position repeaters in ducts, plenums or hollow spaces used to transport environmental 
air except where the duct, plenum or hollow space is created by a suspended ceiling having 
lay-in panels.

Keep the repeater away from steel constructions.

Do not position repeaters directly on metallic surfaces. If possible, place the base station a 
minimum of one meter/3.3 feet from these types of surfaces.

Do not position repeaters behind furniture.

Only position repeaters where the signal is needed.

The installation area must be clean, free of traffic and excess dust, dry, and well ventilated.

The installation area must be within the temperature ranges of 10°C and 40°C/50°F and 104°F.

The installation area must be between 20% and 80% non-condensing relative humidity.

For best RF coverage, the repeater must be mounted vertically on walls. The antennas must 
always be kept perpendicular to the floor. 

The repeater does not add channels, it only adds additional coverage area.

The repeater can be registered on the system 1) when placed within the coverage area of a 
base station 2) when placed within the coverage area of an already-installed repeater or 3) 
when placed outside the coverage area using an external antenna.

 

The repeater must not be installed at any angle other than vertical. If the repeater is placed 
upside-down, the coverage area of the repeater is decreased by 40 - 50% and it might not 
transmit or receive effectively.
