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.
See the following figures and tables for connections, ports, LEDs, and their descriptions.
