1.4 - How Cellular Signal Boosters Work

The Force7 booster amplies cellular signals from the nearest tower to phones in a

building and from those phones back to the tower to compensate for weak reception

caused by distance, topography, building structure, and/or other reasons. The booster

receives the signal from an outside antenna, amplies that signal, and then rebroadcasts

it via the interior antenna(s) where it is picked up by cellular phones, modems, and data

cards. The interior antennas also pick up signals from cellular devices and pass them to

the booster. The booster amplies these signals and passes them to the exterior antenna

for rebroadcast back to the tower.

CHAPTER 2: Safety

This chapter contains important safety information designed to prevent personal injury, equipment

malfunction, and/or radio interference. You are responsible for ensuring a safe installation.

2.1 - Safety Warnings

• You are responsible for knowing and following all applicable codes and regulations and for

obtaining all required permits and inspections.

• Follow all safety precautions contained in this Installation Manual.

• The installation process may require working in high locations such as roofs and/or ladders.

Follow applicable safety regulations and best practices to injury. Take care not to drop objects o

any high area. Cordon o ground areas directly below roof or ladder work.

• Always use appropriate personal protective equipment such as goggles, gloves, hard hat, etc. as

needed or required.

Safety

WARNING: FAILURE TO EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN

WORKING IN HIGH AREAS COULD CAUSE A FALL

AND PERSONAL INJURY.

• Some components may be heavy and/or bulky. Always use proper lifting and carrying

techniques when handling components, especially when working on a ladder, roof, or other area

with a fall hazard.

• The exterior antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna.

• Always use a properly installed SureCall lightning protector between the exterior antenna and

the booster.

• Always power o the booster before working on the roof of the building or anywhere in close

proximity to the external antenna.

• Allow at least 24 inches (60 cm) of separation between interior antennas and humans or

animals.

• Allow at least 24 inches (60 cm) of separation between exterior antennas and all persons.

• Comply with all antenna separation requirements to prevent signal oscillation.

CAUTION: SIGNAL OSCILLATION CAN CAUSE

RADIO INTERFERENCE WITH CELLULAR TOWERS

AND RESULT IN CIVIL AND/OR CRIMINAL

PENALTIES.

CAUTION: FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL A

LIGHTNING PROTECTOR CAN RESULT IN DAM-

AGE TO THE BOOSTER, ANTENNAS, AND WIRING.

CHAPTER 3: Planning

3.1 - Overview

The general booster installation process follows these steps:

1. Decide where to mount the exterior antenna. This will generally be on the wall or roof of the

building in the location with the strongest signal. You will need to decide whether to use an

omnidirectional antenna mounted vertically or a directional Yagi antenna pointed directly at the

cellular tower (line of sight). You must also consider attaching a grounded lightning protector

between the exterior antenna and the booster.

2. Decide where to mount the interior antenna(s), being sure to take separation requirements into

account. In general, long narrow spaces will benet most from directional at-panel antennas while

more square spaces will benet more from omnidirectional dome antennas.

3. Decide where to mount the booster. This should be in a secure indoor location near a grounded

power source.

4. Decide where to route the cables between the exterior antenna and the booster and between the

booster and interior antennas.

5. Install the antennas as described in their respective Installation Manuals.

6. Route the cables to the booster location.

7. Install the booster as described in this manual.

8. Power on the booster and perform the conguration and testing as described in this manual.

Planning

3.2 - Exterior Antenna

You may use either an omni-directional antenna such as the SC-288W (for at areas with no

obstructions) or a directional Yagi antenna such as the SC-230W (to point directly at the tower). The

omni-directional antenna receives and transmits signals in a horizontal 360° circle while the Yagi

antenna receives and transmits signals in a focused area and must be aimed directly (line of sight)

toward the cellular tower that provides the best signal to the building.

The exterior antenna and mast (if any) must be mounted in a location that meets all of the following

criteria:

• Best signal strength

• Not co-located with other antennas or used in conjunction with other antennas

• Away from all power lines

• 6 feet from lightning rod antennas

• 24 inches from all persons

These distances are general guidelines only; refer to the applicable building and electrical codes in

your area to determine local requirements.

• The HDTV antenna can be mounted a few feet away at this time

Planning

3.3 - Interior Antennas

You may use any combination of omnidirectional (dome) interior antennas needed to obtain op-

timal signal strength throughout the building or installation area. Dome antennas such as the

SC-222W-TNC provide 360° hemispherical coverage suitable for mostly square areas. The following

example uses two dome antennas to provide full coverage (exterior Yagi antenna also shown):

Keep in mind that oor structures in multistory buildings can cause signicant signal loss, which

means that you may need to install interior antennas on more than one oor. Here is an example of

a multistory installation:

Note: Vertical separation is more important than horizontal separation. If you are unable to obtain

the required separation horizontally, try raising the exterior antenna. You may also try reducing the

booster gain as described in Chapter 5 of this manual.

Planning

Note: You may or may not need antennas on every oor of a multistory building depending on factors

such as building material, booster gain, etc.

3.4 - Antenna Separation

Proper antenna separation is essential in order to prevent signal oscillation (feedback) that can

interfere with the cellular tower. Separation is measured in a straight line from the exterior antenna to

the closest interior antenna. The closest allowable distance depends on a number of factors such as

booster gain level, building material, etc. Recommended separation distances are:

40 dB 5-6 ft.

45 dB 15-20 ft.

50 dB 50 ft.

55 dB 60 ft.

65 dB 75-80 ft.

70 dB 100 ft.

75 dB 100-120 ft.

80 dB 120-180 ft.

Amplier gain Minimum separation (ad)

SureCall | 48346 Milmont Drive, Fremont CA 94538 | 1-888-365-6283 | [email protected]

Planning

If you are using a Yagi exterior antenna, you should normally aim it away from all interior antennas

regardless of separation to prevent oscillation.

3.5 Calculating Signal Strength

You can calculate the number of antennas you will need using the following parameters (in dB):

• Outside signal level (OSL): This is the signal strength at the exterior antenna location and will

always be a negative number that will usually fall between -50 and -100 dBm. Calls will drop at

levels of about -100 dB and lower. A system installed in an area where the signal is -85 or worse

will require some detailed engineering to achieve an acceptable solution.

• Outside antenna gain (OAG): This is the signal boost provided by the exterior antenna and is

always a positive number with SureCall antennas.

CAUTION: SIGNAL OSCILLATION CAN CAUSE RADIO

INTERFERENCE WITH CELLULAR TOWERS AND RE-

SULT IN CIVIL AND/OR CRIMINAL PENALTIES.
