Important Safety Information
Antennas used for the purpose of radiating signals indoors are limited to a maximum gain of 3 dBi. The
outdoor antenna used for the purpose of communicating to the wireless infrastructure is limited to 3dBi
gain, or any combination of gain and loss that equates to 3dB at input. Each antenna must be positioned
to observe minimum separation requirements from all users and bystanders. The following guidelines
should be used when considering separation distances.
INDOOR antennas must be placed such that, under normal conditions, personnel cannot come within
20 cm (~8.0 in.) from any inside antenna. Adhering to this minimum separation will ensure that the
employee or bystander cannot exceed RF exposures beyond the maximum permissible limit as defined
by section 1.1310 i.e. limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure.
OUTDOOR antenna must be positioned such that, under normal conditions, personnel cannot approach
closer than 120 cm. (~4 ft.). A non- directional antenna having a maximum gain of 3 dBi is used,
precautions should be taken to prevent personnel from routinely passing closer than specified.

Hardware Configuration
This CSI repeater system is comprised of three modules and the cable assemblies
that interconnect them.
The Filter Module provides frequency selection and filtering. It also houses the
system computer. The Power Module provides amplification and power distribution. The
CBC/Fan Module (Cross Band Coupler/Fan Module) is the interface between the train’s
existing Cellular repeater system and this PCS repeater.

Power Up
To power up the CSI repeater simply connect the 72 VDC power cable from the train to the DC IN port on the Power Module.
When powered up, the repeater will begin in the Operational Mode, using the “Band Switching Algorithm”. The repeater will not
key until boot up is complete, a GPS location fix is obtained and the unit is within an ” Area Definition”.
Normal Operation
After boot up and a GPS position fix is obtain the repeater will begin operation based on the Area Definitions, “Channel
Power Measurement and Keying Decision” and “Low Isolation Detection and Protection” algorithms. The operational software
will continuously monitor the repeater’s environment and make the necessary adjustments to keep the product operating
within specifications and FCC Type Certification.
System Status
The Software provides real time status data reporting the state of the repeater. This status contains:
Timestamp Modem Band Type Satellite Count
System Up Time Active Filer NoBox Count
Software Version In-band input Searching Count
System Serial Number Measured Output Scan RX Run State
Model Number Composite Input DeKey Limit
Item Number AGC Mode Scan RX Filter ID
Location AGC Attenuation # of Channels
Modem Signal Strength GPS RunState 1 -10 Channel Freq’s & SSI
Modem Registration Status Latitude
Modem Phone Number Longitude RF Alarms: System Alarms:
Modem Current Band Filter ID Over Range Synthesizer Lock
Modem System ID Filter Name Oscillation Voltage
Modem Network ID Location VSWR Temperature

Alarms
The Operating Software will monitor the repeater for conditions that are out of normal operation, triggering an alarm
event. The Operating software in conjunction with the Communications Subsystem when so configured will send
alarm messages via E-mail or SMS texting to a User Provisioned account.
Low Signal Hardware
No Signal
Each Alarm has these User Provisioned Capabilities.:
· Disable the System: The Operating software can disable the System (prohibit Keying) until the alarm
condition is cleared if provisioned
· Alarm Filter Conditions: A Filter Condition (such as X number of occurrences per hour) to the alarm to
prevent false or un-useful notifications if provisioned.
· Send an Alarm Message: The Operating Software can send a notification via message E-mail or SMS
through the Communications Subsystem if provisioned.
· Alarm Clear Message: The Operating Software can send an alarm clear message when an alarm
condition clears if provisioned.
Alarm Notification Message
The alarm messages consists of the Systems Identification Tag, a summary of the current alarms, and a short
English message describing the alarm condition(s). Below is a list of the alarms that will trigger an alarm message
to be sent.:

Hardware Operations
Test Point Locations and Values
The CSI repeater, CS12-553-401, by design, has no external test points. The Power and Filter modules are
sealed with no user serviceable parts inside. The CBC/FAN Module had no user serviceable parts, if fans
are observed to fail the module can be sent back to CSI for evaluation. Testing and configuration is done
exclusively by interfacing the repeater with a laptop or desktop computer and using the Web based GUI or
the TMI. Both user interfaces will provide a complete status of the repeater. In most cases if all other
components of the system prove to be working properly and the repeater is not, the user will need to
return the unit to CSI for inspection and repair. See the Warranty and Repair Procedures in Section 3 of
this manual.
If the covers for the Power and or Filter modules are removed by the user the warranty will be void and
the cost of any needed repair will be the responsibility of the user.
Indicator Lights
This repeater was designed with only two external indicator lights. Both are approximately 3/4”
diameter LEDs. Located on the Filter Module face plate, between the COM and POWER IN ports, the first
LED labeled POWER/FAULT glows red as the repeater is powered up. When the unit completes all of
it’s bootup procedures the LED will change color and glow green to indicate the system is operating
normally. If the LED remains red it’s an indication of a problem and the user will need to check the
system status using the Web based GUI or the TMI.
The second LED is located on the faceplate of the Power Module, between the DC IN and POWER OUT
connector ports. This light is designed only to show that the unit has DC current and will glow green
when the unit is powered.
Troubleshooting
All cables should be checked for shorts and opens.
The rooftop antenna (Donor Antenna), should be checked for damage.
The DAS antennas should be checked for damage.
If cables and antennas are acceptable and the problem persists, check repeater status using the Web
based GUI or the TMI. See Alarm/Action Matrix on the next page.
Should the repeater fail, or if service is lost and the cause can not be determined from the steps above, the user
should contact CSI Technical Support @ 1.877.844.4274. CSI will remotely access the repeater and advise the
respondent of next step(s).
