General Safety and Installation Standards and Guidelines
ATTENTION!
WARNING: For safe installation, operation, service and repair of this equipment, follow the
safety precautions and instructions, as well as any additional safety information in Motorola
Solutions product service and installation manuals and the Motorola Solutions R56 Standards
and Guidelines for Communications Sites manual
9880384V83). To obtain copies of these materials, contact Motorola Solutions as directed at the
end of this section. After installation, these instructions should be retained and readily available
for any person operating or servicing this repeater or working near it.
Failure to follow these safety precautions and instructions could result in serious injury or property
damage.
The installation process requires preparation and knowledge of the site before installation begins.
Review installation procedures and precautions in the Motorola Solutions R56 manual before
performing any site or component installation. Personnel must use safe work practices and good
judgment, and always follow applicable safety procedures, such as requirements of the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the National Electrical Code (NEC), and local codes.
The following are additional general safety precautions that must be observed:
• To continue compliance with any applicable regulations and maintain the safety of this equipment,
do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modifications.
• All equipment must be serviced by Motorola Solutions trained personnel.
• If troubleshooting the equipment while the power is on, be aware of live circuits which could contain
hazardous voltage.
• Do not operate the radio transmitters unless all RF connectors are secure and all connectors are
properly terminated.
• All equipment must be properly grounded in accordance with the Motorola Solutions R56 and
specified installation instructions for safe operation.
• Openings between the fins on the chassis are provided for ventilation. Do not block or cover

Notice General Safety and Installation
Standards and Guidelines
• Ensure that the installation area can safely support the weight of the repeater.
• Burn hazard. The metal housing of the product may become extremely hot. Use caution
when working around the equipment.
•
RF energy burn hazard. Disconnect power to prevent injury before disconnecting and
connecting antennas.
•
Shock hazard. The outer shields of all Tx and Rx RF cables outer shields must be grounded per
Motorola Solutions R56 manual.
• All Tx and Rx RF cables shall be connected to a surge protection device according to Motorola
Solutions R56 manual. Do not connect Tx and Rx RF cables directly to an outside antenna.
•
Compliance with National and International standards and guidelines for human exposure to
Electromagnetic Energy (EME) at Transmitter Antenna sites generally requires that persons having
access to a site shall be aware of the potential for exposure to EME and can exercise control of
exposure by appropriate means, such as adhering to warning sign instructions. See this installation
manual and Appendix A of Motorola Solutions R56.
This product complies with the requirements set forth by the European R&TTE regulations and
applicable CENELEC standards concerning human exposure to Electromagnetic Energy (EME) at
Transmitter Antenna sites. MOTOTRBO Repeater EME Assessment
on page 132 in this manual
includes an EME exposure analysis of a typical system configuration for this product.
For a different system configuration than the typical configuration, compliance with applicable EME
exposure standards (current versions of the EN50384, EN50385, IEC/IEEE 62704-2, and United
States Federal Communication Commission, “Evaluating compliance with FCC guidelines for
human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields,” OET Bulletin 65 (Ed. 97-01), August
1997. Supplement C (Edition 01-01) to US FCC OET Bulletin 65 (Edition 97-01), “Additional
Information for Evaluating Compliance of Mobile and Portable Devices with FCC Limits for Human
Exposure to Radio frequency Emissions,” June 2001 standards for occupational and general public
exposure, respectively) can be evaluated by either employing the indoor or outdoor methods
illustrated in the typical system configuration EME exposure analysis included in MOTOTRBO
Repeater EME Assessment on page 132 in this manual, or employing another suitable method
among those described in the current version of the EN50383 standard.
Once the occupational and general public compliance boundaries are determined, means to ensure
that workers and people are outside the respective boundaries, for instance using appropriate
signage or restricted access, should be implemented; if this is not possible or practically achievable
for the specific system configuration, the configuration should be modified in order to make it
possible. The R56 Standards and Guidelines for Communications Sites manual (which can be
obtained by ordering CDROM 9880384V83) provides examples of signage that can be used to
identify the occupational or general public compliance boundaries.
Refer to product specific manuals for detailed safety and installation instructions. Manuals can be
obtained with product orders, downloaded from https://businessonline.motorolasolutions.com, or
purchased through the Motorola Solutions Aftermarket & Accessory Department.

Repeater Description
The station is available for use in these configurations:
• Analog Conventional
• Digital (MOTOTRBO)
• MOTOTRBO DMR Tier 2 Conventional – Single Site
• MOTOTRBO DMR Tier 2 Conventional – IP Site Connect
• MOTOTRBO Capacity Plus Trunking
• MOTOTRBO Connect Plus Trunking
• MOTOTRBO Capacity Max Trunking
• MOTOTRBO Digital Voting
NOTICE: Certain software features enabled through Radio Management can be configured with
the Online Help or with a regional representative. See the regional Ordering Guide to determine
the features available within the respective regions.
The repeater can either be configured as a stand-alone repeater or as a repeater connected to a
network, as in the case of operating in IP Site Connect mode. As a repeater, it listens on one uplink
frequency, and then re-transmits on a downlink frequency, thus providing the RF interface to the field
subscribers. When configured for analog station operation, the repeater is designed to operate with
most existing analog systems, which enables a smooth migration to the MOTOTRBO system.
When configured for digital operation, the repeater offers additional services. The digital repeater
operates in TDMA mode, which essentially divides one channel into two virtual channels using time
slots; therefore the user capacity is doubled. The repeater utilizes embedded signaling to inform the
field radios of the busy/idle status of each channel (time slot), the type of traffic, and even the source
and destination information.

Repeater Theory of Operation
The SLR 1000 Repeater provides the radio frequency (RF) link between the network infrastructure and
the subscriber radios.
The repeater acquires inbound signals through its external receive (Rx) antenna and then amplifies,
filters, and demodulates the signals into data or voice packets. From that point, the data is either
forwarded to the repeater’s transmitter to subscriber radios, and/or the data is delivered through a
wired interface for distribution to networked repeaters, consoles, or other networked infrastructure.
The repeater consists of a single transceiver board. The transceiver board is comprised of three
subsystems:
Receiver Subsystem
The Receiver subsystem is a dual heterodyne Receiver which receives the RF signal from the
subscriber’s transmitter. It then converts the resulting final Intermediate Frequency (IF) from an
analog signal to that of a digital word in IQ signal format. Finally, the Receiver delivers the IQ
signal, through the Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) bus, to the Station Control subsystem for
demodulation. Also, the Receiver subsystem provides its own metering and diagnostics through
software, and self-contained calibration (no field tuning is needed for the Receiver subsystem).
Transmitter Subsystem
The Transmitter subsystem converts a two-port base band data signal, sent over the SSI bus from
the Station Control subsystem, to an analog signal representation. The Exciter subsystem
modulates the analog signal with a low-power RF transmitter carrier. The power modulated RF
carrier is then amplified and delivered to the antenna. The Exciter subsystem constitutes the
transmitter of the repeater. Also, the Exciter subsystem provides its own metering and diagnostics
through software, and a self-contained calibration (no field tuning is needed for the Exciter
subsystem).
The Transmitter subsystem delivers the amplified signal to the transmitter antenna port at a power
level within the rated power band of the repeater, for transmission to the subscriber radios. In
addition, it provides the following hardware functions for the repeater.
• Harmonic attenuation
• Inter-modulation attenuation (IMA) suppression
• RF power control (primary means)
• Meters for diagnostics
• Power rollback for temperature
• Self-Contained calibration (no field alignment is needed for the power amplifier).

Chapter 1: SLR 1000 Repeater
Station Control Subsystem
The heart of the Station Control subsystem is the Texas Instruments DM8148 Host/ DSP
processor. In general, the Station Control Module (SCM) controls the entire coordination of the
repeater functions. Specifically, the Station Control subsystem provides for the following functions:
Contains and runs the preloaded repeater software
•
• Manages inbound and outbound RF and Audio traffic
• Provides an on-board USB port for local configuring, alignment, and diagnostics through the
following applications:
- Radio Management Configuration Client (RM)
- Tuner application
- Repeater Diagnostic and Control (RDAC) software
• Provides an Ethernet port for IP site connectivity and remote RDAC
• Provides General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) connectivity for third-party controller interfaces
• Provides analog repeater audio connectivity
• Data and Control to the Receiver subsystem through the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and
Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) respectively
• Data and Control to the Exciter subsystem through the SPI and SSI respectively
• Control of the Transmitter’s set power through the SPI
• Configuration and fault management
• Generates the internal station reference
• Provides control of the front panel indicator LEDs.

Basic Repeater Level Troubleshooting – RDAC and LEDs
Diagnostic tests are available for the Transceiver of the SLR 1000 Repeater.
If a problem occurs during station operation, it is logged as an alarm that is read with the Repeater
Diagnostic and Control application (RDAC). See the following figure for the RDAC diagnostic screen.

Chapter 1: SLR 1000 Repeater
Problems can be evaluated locally or remotely, as the station maintains an Alarm Log with the name of
the alarm that failed since the last power-up. Through the RDAC application Alarm Log, the alarm
messages aid in identifying the FRU that failed along with the fault condition.
After booting up the repeater, the three LEDs (Power/ Status, Network, and Reference LEDs) flash in
unison.
The general status and condition of the SLR 1000 Repeater can be obtained by observing the three
LED indicators on the front panel. The following tables indicate the LED symbols and their meaning,
and identifies the information conveyed through the LED indicators.

Performance Check or Testing General Description
The SLR 1000 Repeater meets published specifications through the manufacturing process by utilizing
high-accuracy laboratory-quality test equipment. The recommended field service equipment
approaches the accuracy of the manufacturing equipment with few exceptions. This accuracy must be
maintained in compliance with the equipment manufacturer’s recommended calibration schedule.
NOTICE: Although these repeaters function in digital and analog modes, all testing is done in
analog mode. Digital Repeater tests can be performed using an Aeroflex 3900 Series Service
Monitor, if the DMR Digital Repeater Test Option is purchased. This auto testing could be
performed in lieu of the following Manual testing.

Transmitter Testing
Incorrect measurement signaling values of the SLR 1000 Repeater indicate a faulty module. Testing
the transmitter circuitry is done by injecting and measuring signals using a Service Monitor (or
equivalent). Measurement values within the acceptable range verify proper operation of the transceiver
board and circuitry.
CAUTION: The SLR 1000 Repeater must be taken out of service to carry out performance
testing procedures. Unless the repeater is already out of service, perform the procedures during
off-peak hours to minimize disruption of service to the system subscribers.

Tuning a Duplexer Module
The duplexer module is shipped untuned. Before installing the duplexer into the repeater, it must be
tuned specifically to the transmit and receive frequency pairs of the repeater.
The duplexer module is composed of three low-pass/high-notch cavities and three high-pass/low-notch
cavities. Each set of three cavities provides bandpass filtering for either the transmit RF signal or the
receive RF signal. In general, the duplexer must be tuned so that the transmit cavity set passes the
76

Chapter 8: SLR 1000 Programming and Tuning
transmit signal and rejects the receive signal. Concurrently, the receive cavity set must be tuned to
pass the receive signal and reject the transmit signal.
Tuning is performed by injecting RF signals and making tuning adjustments (using the tuning rods and
trimmer screws) while monitoring for maximum or minimum readings on the RF millivoltmeter. Field
tuning the duplexer module requires the following general adjustments:
Tune high-pass/low-notch cavities for maximum pass and reject response
•
• Tune low-pass/high-notch cavities for maximum pass and reject response
• Check high-pass/low-notch and low-pass/high-notch cavities for insertion loss
• Check high-pass/low-notch and low-pass/high-notch cavities for isolation
NOTICE: If the duplexer module is tuned and the specifications are within a large margin of
error, the duplexer must be returned to the Motorola Solutions Support Center (SSC) for repair.
Prerequisites: Obtain the following test equipment:
•
2-port network analyzer
• Network analyzer cables
• Open/short/load calibration kit
• Two SMA female to MCX adapters
• N-male to SME female adapter
• Small crescent wrench
• T10 TORX bit and driver
Procedure:
1 Determine the transmit and receive frequencies, as follows:
The less of the two frequencies is the LOW frequency and the greater of the two is the HIGH
frequency. Choose a duplexer that includes both of these frequencies in its tuning range as
indicated on the duplexer label.

Routine Maintenance
on page 82
The SLR 1000 Repeater and ancillary equipment have been designed with state-of-the-art technology
and operate under software control, thus requiring minimal routine maintenance.
The Transceiver and the firmware it runs monitors and self-corrects all repeater operating parameters,
making adjustments and tuning unnecessary.
If the equipment is installed in an area which meets the specified environmental requirements, the only
routine maintenance task required is the calibration of the repeater reference oscillator circuit.

Safe Handling of CMOS and LDMOS Devices
Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) and laterally diffused metal-oxide semiconductor
(LDMOS) devices are used in this family of stations, and are susceptible to damage by electrostatic or
high-voltage charges. Damage can be latent, resulting in failures occurring weeks or months later.
Therefore, special precautions must be taken to prevent device damage when disassembling,
troubleshooting, and repairing.
Handling precautions are mandatory for CMOS/LDMOS circuits and are especially important in low
humidity conditions.
DO NOT attempt to disassemble the repeater without first referring to the following CAUTION
statement.
CAUTION: This repeater contains static-sensitive devices. Do not open the repeater unless you
are properly grounded. Take the following precautions when working on this unit:
Store and transport all CMOS/LDMOS devices in conductive material so that all exposed
•
leads are shorted together. Do not insert CMOS/LDMOS devices into conventional plastic
"snow" trays used for storage and transportation of other semiconductor devices.
• Ground the working surface of the service bench to protect the CMOS/LDMOS device. Use
the Motorola Solutions Static Protection Assembly (part number 0180386A82), which
includes a wrist strap, two ground cords, a table mat, and a floor mat, ESD shoes and an
ESD chair.
• Wear a conductive wrist strap in series with a 100k resistor to ground. (Replacement wrist
straps that connect to the bench top covering are Motorola Solutions part number
4280385A59).
• Do not wear nylon clothing while handling CMOS/LDMOS devices.
• Do not insert or remove CMOS/LDMOS devices with power applied. Check all power
supplies used for testing CMOS/LDMOS devices to be certain that there are no voltage
transients present.
• When straightening CMOS/LDMOS pins, provide ground straps for the apparatus used.
• When soldering, use a grounded soldering iron.
• Handle CMOS/LDMOS devices by the package and not by the leads. Before touching the
unit, touch an electrical ground to remove any static charge that you may have accumulated.
The package and substrate may be electrically common. If so, the reaction of a discharge to
the case would cause the same damage as touching the leads.

10.1.2
Site Environmental Conditions
The installation location of the SLR 1000 Repeater must follow precautions and be conducted in such a
way so that access is limited to technicians with adequate training and skills.
CAUTION: The repeater is a natural-convection cooled device and may get hot when installed
in hot and/or high solar load environments. Use of on-board antennas also creates a potential
exposure to RF energy that must be considered.
The repeater may be installed in any suitable location meeting the restricted access criteria and not
exceeding the equipment specifications for temperature and environmental exposure (ingress). Unit
orientation, solar loading, antenna, and cable load quality may all affect the temperature and
performance of the unit.
The environmental conditions are:
Operating Temperature Range – Vertical orientation
•
-30 °C (-22 °F) to +60 °C (+140 °F)
The operating temperature range is the temperature measured close to the repeater, near the fin
inlets (bottom). Other factors, such as orientation, solar loading, duty cycle, altitude, and VSWR can
affect transmit power and/or maximum operating temperature range.
• Ingress
The repeater has been designed to IP65/NEMA 4 ingress protection. It provides protection against
blowing water and dust and can be deployed in harsh industrial indoor environments and/or outdoor
applications where rain, snow, and dust are prevalent.
• Vibration and Loads
The repeater hardware has been designed to survive high vibration and wind loads (up to 150 mph)
encountered in outdoor environments and may be installed in vehicular environments when
equipped with ruggedized mounting brackets or trunnions.

10.1.4.1
Ventilation for a Ceiling Mount
Ceiling mounting of the SLR 1000 Repeater requires that the bracket is mounted against the ceiling
surface and that the unit is positioned with the fins facing up towards the ceiling for proper ventilation.
Fresh air flows into both ends of the fins and the heated air exhausts out the top of the fin channels.
The mounting bracket (same as used for the wall mount) provides an adequate gap between the unit
fin tips and the ceiling surface. The fin cooling effectiveness in this orientation is slightly lower than
vertical wall mount orientations and some power shutback at high ambients may occur. It is not
recommended to mount any optional AC power supplies onto the mounting bracket when in a ceiling
orientation, as the exhaust air is restricted from rising and could overheat the power supply unit as well.
Return to Process
Equipment Ventilation on page 95
10.1.4.2
Ventilation for a Wall Mount
Wall mounting of the SLR 1000 Repeater requires that the bracket is mounted against the wall surface
and that the unit is positioned with the fins running vertically for proper ventilation.
Fresh air flows into the bottom of the fins and the heated air exhausts out the top of the fin channels.
Mounting of the unit with the fins running horizontally or other orientations other than vertical reduces
the airflow through the fins and some power shutback at high ambients may occur. The wall mount
bracket provides adequate gap and mounting provisions for integration of an optional AC power supply
between the fins and the bracket. As airflow occurs bottom to top, the wall mount does not impact
thermal performance in the vertical orientation.

AC Input Power Requirements
A power supply must obtain the energy it supplies to its load, and any energy it consumes. This section
describes the power requirements for the AC inputs.
For indoor applications, a standard indoor power supply with an IEC C13 appliance connector is
available. The adapter may be combined with bracket BR000276A01 so that it can be integrated onto
the wall mount bracket with the SLR 1000 Repeater or attached directly to the wall or ceiling.
Use a standard 3-wire grounded electrical outlet as the AC source.
CAUTION: The AC socket outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily
accessible.
For outdoor applications, a sealed IP67 rated AC power converter is available. This unit may be
attached directly to the wall mount bracket with the repeater. It includes water tight cable junction
connectors and requires extra wiring, conduit, and/or similar provisions to connect to the AC source.
The outlet must be connected to an AC source capable of supplying a maximum of 500 VA. For a
nominal 110/120 VAC input, the AC source must supply 2A max for both indoor and outdoor. Per R56,
the minimum ampacity of the circuit (and protective breaker) feeding the repeater should be no less
than 15A. For a nominal 220/240 VAC input, the ampacity requirements can be halved.

CAUTION: Proper site grounding and lightning protection are vitally important considerations.
Failure to provide proper lightning protection may result in permanent damage to the radio
equipment.
One of the most important considerations when designing a communications site is the ground and
lightning protection system. While proper grounding techniques and lightning protection are closely
related, the general category of site grounding may be divided into the following sections:
