[. . . ] D-STAR REPEATER SYSTEM id- rp2 Instruction Manual IMPORTANT READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY before attempting to operate the repeater. EXPLICIT DEFINITIONS WORD DEFINITION Personal injury, fire hazard or electric R WARNING shock may occur. CAUTION NOTE Equipment damage may occur. No risk or personal injury, fire or electric shock. SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the ID-RP2 system. PRECAUTIONS R DANGER! [. . . ] AVOID using or placing the ID-RP2C/D/V in areas with temperature below ­10°C (+14°F) or above +50°C (+122°F). AVOID placing the ID-RP2C/D/V in excessively dusty environments or in direct sunlight. AVOID placing the ID-RP2C/D/V against walls or putting anything on top of the units. This will obstruct heat dissipation. D About coaxial cable · Type-N connector assembling q Nut Rubber gasket 15 mm Use 50 of impedance for both antenna (at Feeding Slide the nut, washer, rubber gasket and clamp over the coaxial cable, then cut the end of the cable evenly. power point) and coaxial cable. Washer Type-N connector is used for the connection between ID-RP2D/V and antenna. RECOMMENDATION: Install a lightning protector between the ID-RP2D/V and antenna. w Clamp Center conductor Strip the cable and fold the braid back over the clamp. 3 mm 6 mm Solder hole e r No space Soft solder the center conductor. Install the center conductor pin and solder it. Carefully slide the plug body into place aligning the center conductor pin on the cable. Tighten the nut onto Be sure the center conductor is the plug body. the same height as the plug body. I About the power supply Be sure to the DC power supply that used with the IDRP2 system is meet the followings: Output voltage : 13. 8 V DC ±15% Current capacity : At least the total current consumption of the connected equipments. 9 CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATIONS 4 I When install into system rack The ID-RP2C/D/V are designed to install into the 19inch rack (EIA standard) directly. Use the supplied bolts with the rack when fixing the IDRP2C/D/V. We recommend to use the rack that has rails due to the weigh of the ID-RP2D and ID-RP2V is approx. 7. 5 kg (16. 5 lbs), respectively. I Rubber feet attachment q · Cross section Attach the supplied rubber feet onto the bottom of the ID-RP2C/D/V as shown at left when not installed into 19-inch rack. Desktop operation can be performed. w I Grounding To prevent electrical shock, television interference (TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other problems, ground the transceiver through the GROUND terminal on the rear panel. For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap to a long earth-sunk copper rod. Make the distance between the [GND] terminal and ground as short as possible. R WARNING: NEVER connect the [GND] terminal to a gas or electric pipe, since the connection could cause an explosion or electric shock. 10 4 CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATIONS I System connections AH-108 ID-RP2L (Assist 1) to AH-106/107 to AH-106/107 ID-RP2L (Assist 2) [A] [B] [A] [B] Antenna filter ID-RP2C OPC-1380 (supplied w/ID-RP2C) Duplexer ID-RP2V OPC-1309 (supplied w/ID-RP2D/V) Control cable (supplied w/ID-RP2D/V) Coaxial cables (purchase locally) OPC-1309 (supplied w/ID-RP2D/V) External DC power supply 13. 8 V Red Black + _ ID-RP2D Control cable (supplied w/ID-RP2D/V) AC outlet AC power cable 11 CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATIONS 4 I Antenna assembling R DANGER!: Antenna installation is intended for professional installation only. We are not responsible for any building breakage, any damage resulting from a drop of the antenna from a high place or unstable site or resulting from any personal injury nor any accident in any other cases. Be sure to consult an expert engineer for installations. D AH-106 Unscrew q Remove the pole clamp that attached to the elevation angle. w Unscrew 4 bolts from the elevation angle. Unscrew Elevation angle Element arm e Attach the element-arm onto the reflector. NOTE: Check the orientation. Top Reflector Reflector Elevation base angle Elementarm Bottom Sub elevation angle r Attach the elevation and sub elevation angles as the diagram at left. Fix the angles using with the bolts that are unscrewed at steps w and are attached with the sub elevation angle. NOTE: Select the suitable screw hole position that the point where the suitable parabolic antenna beams angle is provided with the sub elevation angle adjustment. Elevation angle Element arm 12 Short Long  Continue to the next page. 4 CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATIONS Pole (48. 6­89. 1 mm) Stopper t Attach the pole between the elevation angle and the pole clamp, that is removed in steps q, as illustrated at left. · Tighten the two bolts within an even torque. · Use the stopper of the elevation angle when installing the antenna at the top edge of the pole. Pole clamp Element y Attach the supplementary arms between element arm and parabolic reflector, and attach the antenna element to the element arm. NOTE: The "V" stamps on the antenna element must be face up. Supplementary arm 13 CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATIONS 4 D AH-107 Bolts M6×30 Element-arm fitting plate q Attach the element arm to the parabolic reflector using with the supplied bolts (M6×30) and the element arm fitting plates.
