Before Use

Instructions

To ensure optimum performance and reliability of the repeater, please read the following instructions carefully.

Operation Environment

The repeater must be installed in a dry and well-ventilated place with ambient temperature of -30°C to +60°C and relative humidity of not more than 95%.

Voltage Check

Check whether the input voltage is within the operating voltage of the repeater (DC power supply: 13.6V±15%; AC power supply: 90V to 264V).

Wall-mount Bracket Installation (Optional)

If you need to install the repeater on the wall, please contact your dealer to purchase a wall-mount bracket.

Installation Tools

An electric drill and a T10 torx screwdriver.

Installation Procedures

A. Install the wall-mount bracket.

  1. Drill three holes into the wall, with each hole aligned with those of the wall-mount bracket.
  2. Put the plastic wall anchor into the drilled holes. Skip this step if the wall is not a concrete wall.
  3. Use three ST4X16 self-tapping screws to fasten the bracket on the wall.

Note: Make sure the wall can support the repeater's weight before drilling.

B. Install the repeater on the bracket.

  1. Align the screws on the upper side of the repeater with the notches of the bracket and mount the repeater onto the bracket, as shown in the figure below.
  2. Move the repeater side to side slightly to ensure the screws fit into the bottom of the notch.

Product Check

Check whether the repeater works properly by observing the seven LED indicators in the front panel after the repeater is powered on via the AC Power Switch.

Status Indication

The LED indicators on the front panel indicate the following repeating status:

LED Indicator Name LED Indication Repeater Status
Digital Mode LED Indicator Blue The repeater is operating in digital mode.
Analog Mode LED Indicator Yellow The repeater is operating in analog mode.
Slot A TX LED Indicator Red
  • Analog mode: The repeater is transmitting.
  • Digital mode: The repeater is transmitting in Slot A.
Slot A RX LED Indicator Green
  • Analog mode: The repeater is receiving.
  • Digital mode: The repeater is receiving in Slot A.
Slot B TX LED Indicator Red Digital mode: The repeater is transmitting in Slot B.
Slot B RX LED Indicator Green Digital Mode: The repeater is receiving in Slot B.
Alarm LED Indicator Red Alarm occurs. The alarm LED indicator will remain red until all alarms are eliminated.

Alarm Information

The repeater will have real-time detection of its operation status automatically. When it is operating abnormally, the alarm LED indicator on the front panel will glow red until all alarms are eliminated.

When an alarm event occurs, you can diagnose and solve the problem via the RDAC application provided by us or contact your local dealer for technical support.

Alarm types and causes are as listed below:

Alarm Type Alarm Cause
Abnormal External Power High Voltage: The input voltage is higher than 15.8V±0.2V.
Low Voltage: The input voltage is lower than 10.8V±0.2V.
High Temperature Temperature sensor detects the temperature above 85°C.
Abnormal VSWR VSWR > 3:1.
Over-high VSWR will damage the PA module or even disable it.
TX Unlock TX PLL is unlocked, and the repeater stops transmitting and repeating.
RX Unlock RX PLL is unlocked, and the repeater stops receiving and repeating.

Troubleshooting

Phenomena Analysis Solution
Power-on Failure. The power cord may be disconnected or not securely connected to the outlet.
The fuse in the power cord is damaged.
DC power supply voltage is not within the operating voltage of the repeater.
Properly connect the power cord and ensure secure connection.
Check whether the DC power fuse is damaged. If it is damaged, replace it with a new one.
Check whether the DC power supply voltage is within the operating voltage of the repeater (13.6V±15%). If not, adjust it to proper range.
The radio is unable to communicate with other members. TX/RX frequency of the repeater is inconsistent with that of portable/mobile radios.
The repeater failed to repeat useful signal due to strong interference signals.
The radio is out of the coverage of the repeater.
Check if the frequencies are consistent. Reset the frequencies when necessary.
If you cannot remove or bypass the interference source, change to operate at other frequencies.
Move into the coverage of the repeater.
There's RX indication on the radios, but members cannot communicate with each other. Radio ID does not match that of other members.
The CTCSS/CDCSSs of the radios are not consistent.
Sets the same ID with other members.
Check whether the CTCSS/CDCSSs are consistent. Reset the CTCSS/CDCSSs when necessary.
Signal loss due to connecting cable damage. The antenna and cable are in loose connection or disconnected.
Internal damage of the cable.
The duplexer (if installed) may be adjusted improperly.
Check whether the damage is serious. Replace the cable when necessary.
Replace the cable.
Contact Hytera or the local dealer to readjust the duplexer.
Short communication distance and poor voice quality

If the above solutions cannot fix the problems, or you have other questions, please contact Hytera or the dealer for more technical support.
