WARNING!
Only qualified service personnel may install this equipment. The instructions in this
manual are intended for use by qualified service personnel only.
Only qualified persons should service the system.
The installation and service of this hardware is to be performed only by service
personnel having appropriate training and experience necessary to be aware of
hazards to which they are exposed in performing a task and of measures to minimize
the danger to themselves or other persons.
Electrical shock hazards from the telecommunication network and AC mains are
possible with this equipment. To minimize risk to service personnel and users, the
system must be connected to an outlet with a third-wire Earth.
Service personnel must be alert to the possibility of high leakage currents becoming
available on metal system surfaces during power line fault events near network lines.
These leakage currents normally safely flow to Protective Earth via the power cord.
Therefore, it is mandatory that connection to an earthed outlet is performed first and
removed last when cabling to the unit. Specifically, operations requiring the unit to be
powered down must have the network connections (exchange lines) removed first.

The following is a list of recommendations for suitable installation conditions:
• Verify that the installation area is clean, dry, and protected from weather extremes.
• Verify that the floor of the installation area is finished with linoleum, vinyl, ceramic, wooden
flooring, computer floor tiles, or polished sealed concrete. Carpeting is not recommended.
• Verify that the ceiling of the installation area is finished or treated to prevent particle
discharge.
• Verify that the installation area is well lit, and that the light source is uniformly diffused
without shadows. Adequate lighting should provide a comfortable reading level and allow the
identification of wire insulator colors without undue eye fatigue. Lighting should be
comparable to an office work environment, with a minimum level of 70 foot-candles at each
work surface. As a general rule, in a room with a 2.5m ceiling, one 1.2m fluorescent tube
provides sufficient illumination for 1.9-2.4 sq m .
KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 Installation and Configuration Guide
26 Introduction to KIRK Wireless Server 600v3
• Verify that ventilation of the installation area is capable of maintaining an ambient
temperature of 0-40° C, and a relative humidity of 20-80% non-condensing, while the system
is operating. The maximum power rating of a KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 under full load
should not exceed 315W/1070 BTU/Hr. These figures are for each cabinet only, and do not
take into account heat generated by other equipment. In particular, charging fully-discharged
batteries may generate a considerable amount of heat, depending on battery capacity and rate
of charge. Refer to the equipment manufacturer data for more information.
• Minimum distance between two KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 varies depending on material
and construction of buildings, but there must always be synchronization chains and radio
coverage overlap between the two KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 and handover between
handsets. The time it takes a person to cross the common coverage area must be 10 seconds or
more, as the handset needs time to scan for an alternative KIRK Wireless Server 600v3.
• Verify that the installation area is free of caustic or corrosive liquids, substances, or materials.
If batteries will be installed as part of the system, ensure that adequate precautions are taken
(such as special ventilation) to prevent corrosive emissions from the batteries. Check local
building codes for additional requirements.
• Verify that the installation area is located no closer than 6.1m from electric devices that
produce large electro-magnetic fields (EMF) or high levels of radio frequency energy.
Possible EMF sources are radio transmitters, electric arc welding machines, copying
machines, electric motors, refrigeration units, power transformers, electric load centers, and
main circuit breaker panels.
• Verify that the electrical service is sufficient and located in close proximity to the KIRK
Wireless Server 600v3.
• It is required that one (1) dedicated branch circuit which must be independently protected by a
fuse or a circuit breaker, and must not be controlled by a switch. Type-C fuses should be used
where required by local authorities.

lay-in panels. When you need more than one repeater in a cell to meet traffic requirements,
position the repeaters at the same cell center.
• Keep the repeater away from steel constructions.
• Do not position repeaters directly on metallic surfaces. If possible, place the repeater a
minimum of one meter from these types of surfaces.
• Do not position repeaters behind furniture.
• Only position repeaters where the signal is needed.
• The external antenna used for the transmitter is to be fixed-mounted on indoor permanent
structures providing a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons during normal
operation and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter. The external antenna can be placed a maximum of one meter from the repeater and
must be placed in the direction of the KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 that the repeater should
synchronize with. If the external antenna and repeater is part of a repeater jump, the antenna
should be directed towards the repeater to be synchronized with.
• The installation area must be clean, free of traffic and excess dust, dry, and well ventilated.
• The installation area must be within the temperature ranges of 10°C and 40°C.
• The installation area must be between 20% and 80% non-condensing relative humidity.
• Minimum distance between two repeaters varies depending on material and construction of
buildings, but there must always be synchronization chains and radio coverage overlap
between the two repeaters and handover between handsets. The time it takes a person to cross
the common coverage area must be 10 seconds or more, as the handset needs time to scan for
an alternative repeater.
2.2.2.2 Electrical Requirements

Before you install the KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 solution, it is necessary to perform a complete
site survey and determine the exact location of KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 primaries and
secondaries and number of handsets required.
A well planned installation should start with an RF coverage site survey. A site survey is designed
to determine the optimal location for KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 and KIRK Repeaters and the
amount of wireless voice traffic to be supported by the installation (i.e., how many KIRK Handsets
must maintain voice conversations at the same time, in any given area).
Due to the unexpected nature of RF propagation in an indoor environment, an actual on-site test
must be performed before the installation is complete. While an extensive guide to effective RF
coverage planning is outside the scope of this manual, the following points should be taken into
consideration when planning the site, prior to Wireless Server 600v3 and KIRK Repeater
installation:
• The KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeater provides typical RF coverage of up to 50
meters in a typical indoor office environment and up 300 meters in an open area (line-of-site),
extending in all directions from the KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeater. The exact
coverage range depends on the building architecture, wall material and surroundings.
• The KIRK solution can support a maximum of 1500 handsets.
• The KIRK solution supports a maximum of 256 radio units (a mix of primary and secondary
KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 and KIRK Repeaters.
• Handset handover: KIRK Handsets can move between coverage areas of primary and
secondary KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 and KIRK Repeaters while receiving continuous
service and maintaining conversations in progress.
• For efficient handover of conversations between KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 primaries and
secondaries, deploy KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 with wide overlap between them (i.e., plan
for some areas to be covered by more than one KIRK Wireless Server 600v3). Overlaps are
necessary to maintain seamless handover and to establish synchronization chains. A good
example may be a cafeteria during lunch hour where temporary concentrations of handsets
may occur. The overlap carries the excess call load to adjacent KIRK Wireless Server 600v3
to provide uninterrupted services to subscribers.
• Typically, installations such as office buildings, hotels and hospitals should be equipped with
KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeaters on several floors to create uniform and
complete RF coverage.
• Open areas can be covered with a sparse network of KIRK Wireless Server 600v3. In such
applications, the KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/repeaters cover an extended range due to the
extended line-of-sight RF propagation capability.
• Ensure that there is not a residentially DECT system (home DECT) on the site.

• “Deployment of a KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 Multi-Cell” on page 31
3.1 Recommendations for KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/ KIRK Repeater Placement
• In large halls, the KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeater should be installed vertically
in the middle of the space below the drop ceiling.
• In corridors, the KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeater should be installed vertically
preferably at corridor intersections where propagation patterns follow the corridor patterns.
The KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeater should point towards the corridor and
preferably in the middle height between the floor and the actual ceiling. In case there are high
objects in the area, the KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 should be installed above those objects
but still kept distant from the ceiling.
• In multi-story buildings, KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeaters may be installed on
opposite sides of the floors to take advantage of the floor-to-floor coverage. The coverage
design cannot rely entirely on floor-to-floor propagation; each case must be verified due to
variations in local attenuation patterns.
• If the building contains a central open space area with windows to the other areas, KIRK
Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeaters may be installed in this open space to provide a good
coverage for the rooms in the inner circle on all floors (e.g. hotels).
• If a KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeater hangs vertically on a wall, the RF coverage
in front of the KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeaters is twice as large as the coverage
at the rear. When a KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeater is installed on the outside of
an outer wall, the RF coverage behind it is strongly attenuated by the wall.
• KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeaters should not be installed near large metallic
objects.
• Reinforced concrete structures have a high attenuation factor inside the building. They
decrease the RF coverage range of the KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeaters and
therefore requires a higher number of KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeaters in the
building. Lighter types of construction require fewer base stations since attenuation figures are
3
considerably lower.
