The CS100 System is a small business mobile communications solution. It
connects up to 8 wireless handsets direct to your existing Telephone
System, providing your workforce with the ability to communicate from
anywhere within CS100 system Master or repeater radio coverage.
By adding Repeaters at strategic locations, coverage can easily be
extended to suit your needs.
A repeater allows the user to roam over larger areas without losing the call.
This feature rich mobile solution means that your staff are no longer tied to
their desks, and can talk to your customers whilst on the move. This will
improve productivity, morale, and customer satisfaction.
The CS100 is an OEM branded product that can be used with Multitone
CH70 DECT Handsets. It can also be used with Multitone’s messaging
products P318 & access integrator. The messaging products are designed
for connection to moving contact alarms which can be used to trigger
security alerts, alarms or similar messaging alerts to CH70 handsets.

1.3 Repeaters / Extended Range
Key Features:
Extend area of Radio coverage easily
and within minutes
Eliminate areas of poor coverage
Range of up to 300 metres
Provide external coverage - useful
for car parks or other outdoor areas
‘Daisy Chain’ up to 3 Repeaters to
cover larger areas, such as a
warehouse or extended office area
The CS100 system base unit has a coverage range of up to 300 metres.
However, this can be easily extended to suit your needs by adding
‘Repeaters’.The range of the base Station and repeater depends upon the
working environment.
Repeaters are used to increase the range of coverage over a larger area.
If you find the CS100 system base unit coverage does not reach a certain
part of your building, you can simply add a repeater near the outside range
of the base unit, thus eradicating signal drops and weak areas (Figure 1).
The CS100 system can support up to 6 Repeaters, up to 3 of which can be
‘daisy chained’ to form a long coverage area – ideal for large warehouses
(Figure 2).
Each repeater or repeater chain has a maximum of 2 speech channels.
Figure 1: 3 repeaters are used to extend Figure 2: 3 repeaters have been chained to extend coverage
coverage over a much larger area over a long area, such as an open plan office or warehouse.

2.2 Guidelines for Installation of the CS100
Base Station
When deciding the location of the CS100 Base Station, consider what area
of your office or work place you need the most coverage. This should also
take into account the number of people who will be using a handset within a
given area. Try to place the Base Station as centrally as possible to ensure
maximum efficiency, unless external coverage is required.
A 240-volt mains power socket must be available within 3 metres of the
fixing point of the CS100 Base Station.
Keep the Base Station 1.5 meters clear from any electrical equipment such
as computers and fax machines. These devices can cause Electro-Magnetic
Interference (EMI), weakening the radio signal.
The Base Station must be kept in an area where the temperature is
maintained within the limits of 0 - 50ºC. The air must not be damp or humid,
and must be free from water spray or a conductive/corrosive atmosphere
and out of direct sunlight.
In order to get the best signal coverage, place the Base Station as high as
possible, but at least 4” (10 cm) from the ceiling or any metallic surfaces.
Also, foil insulated plasterboard or any other similar foil insulation may affect
performance.
For information on testing the coverage and signal strength, see section 5.4
– ‘Powering up and Testing’.

2.3 Preparing for Installation
Before you begin to install and configure your new CS100 system it is
recommended that you take note of the following points to ensure a smooth
installation.
About DECT
DECT is a low power radio standard for telecommunications. Transmission
from the base unit can achieve a coverage radius of 300m in clear space.
However the distance that will be achieved in your installation depends very
much on the location you choose for the Base unit and any repeaters you
install. Coverage from a base unit in the wrong location could be less than
10m. Thick walls, dense concrete, tinted glass with a high metal content
and metal clad buildings, all may attenuate the signal.
If you are concerned that you may have a coverage problem then a
coverage survey should be carried out prior to installation. A survey kit can
be rented/purchased from your system supplier or carried out using the
CS100 and the master handset.
Choosing a location for the CS-100 base unit
The CS100 can be placed up to 7.5km (subject to Host PABX) from
the PBX. Mains power should be within 3 metres. The Unit should be
Placed in the geographic centre of the area to be covered unless:
(a) The majority of users would be located out of range of the
CS100 base unit.†
(b) The location is External.
(c) The unit would be located in a hostile environment
(such as refrigerated room).
The Unit should be Located at Least 10cm away from any metal surface
and the same distance from the ceiling or corners of the room. The more
free space around the unit the better.
Choose a location that is free of any obstructions (such as racking or filing
cabinets).
Avoid locating CS100 in the void area of suspended ceilings.
Although a high location is good it may be necessary in the future to
connect a PC to the CS100 for administration or maintenance. In this case
locate within 3 metres of the PC or Laptop position.
If an External location is chosen for siting the unit please call your supplier
for further advice before proceeding with the installation.
† See Section2.2
Page 15
Equipment Installation
Choosing a location for a repeater.
It is important that a repeater is located within the good coverage area of
the base unit. Failure to do so will result in apparent poor reception for any
handset connecting to the repeater.
The Unit should be Located at Least 10cm away from any metal and the
same distance from the ceiling or corners of the room. The more free space
around the unit the better. Choose a location that is free of any obstructions
(such as racking or filing cabinets). Although a high location is good it may
be necessary in the future to connect a PC to the CS100 for administration
or maintenance.
Avoid locating Repeater in the void area of suspended ceilings.
If an External location is chosen for siting the unit please call your supplier
for further advice before proceeding with the installation.

* Charging your handset battery packs
When supplied, your DECT handset battery pack will contain only a low
residual charge. To ensure reliable operation, ensure you fully charge the
battery packs. For the initial charge, allow up to 14 hours to ensure the battery
is fully charged. This process will take approximately 3fi hours (from fully
discharged to fully charged) during normal operation.
For instructions on charging batteries, consult the user guide supplied with
your DECT handset
