INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
■ Unpacking
■ Grounding
After unpacking, immediately report any damage
to the delivering carrier or dealer. Keep the
shipping cartons.
For a description and a diagram of accessory
equipment included with the X-BAND 50 series,
see ‘Supplied accessories’ of this manual.
To prevent electrical shock, television interference
(TVI), broadcast interference (BCI) and other
problems, ground the transceiver through the
[GND] terminal on the rear panel.
For best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or
strap to a long earth-sunk copper rod. Make the
distance between the [GND] terminal and ground
as short as possible.
■ Selecting a location
Select a location for the repeater that allows
adequate air circulation, free from extreme
heat, cold, or vibrations, and away from TV
sets, TV antenna elements, radios and other
electromagnetic sources.
■ Antenna connections
WARNING: NEVER connect the [GND] terminal to a gas or electric pipe, since the connection could cause an explosion or electric shock.
For radio communications, the antenna is of
critical importance, along with output power and
sensitivity. Select antenna(s), such as a wellmatched 50 Ω antenna, and feedline. 1.5:1 or
better of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR)
is recommended for desired band. Of course, the
transmission line should be a coaxial cable.
CAUTION: Protect repeater from lightning by using a lightning arrestor.
NOTE: There are many publications covering proper antennas and their installation. Check with your local dealer for more information and recommendations.
➀
TYPE-N CONNECTOR INSTALLATION EXAMPLE
Slide the nut, flat washer, rubber gasket and clamp over the coaxial
cable, then cut the end of the cable evenly.
➁
Strip the cable and fold the braid back over the clamp.
➂
Soft solder the center conductor. Install the center conductor pin and
solder it.
➃
Carefully slide the plug body into place aligning the center conductor
pin on the cable. Tighten the nut onto the plug body.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 2
■ Required Connections
[DC POWER INPUT TERMINAL]
Make sure the back up battery is correctly
connected. Use a cable with following
current capacity. Solder or clamp the cable
plug when connecting the power cable to
the backup battery to prevent voltage drops.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 2
■ Power
Make sure the [POWER] switch is turned OFF
when connecting an AC power cable and a
backup battery (emergency power supply).
The X-Band 50 series can operate with an AC or
DC power supply. If AC power is interrupted when
operating the repeater with an AC power supply,
power is automatically provided to the [BATTERY]
terminals. Battery will be automatically recharged
when AC power is restored.
 In AC operation
CAUTION:
• Use the supplied AC power cable for connection to a domestic AC outlet.
• Extension cords should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Using improper extension cords could result in fire risk.
 In DC operation
CAUTION: Voltages greater than 16 V DC will damage the repeater. Check the source voltage before connecting the power cable.
• DO NOT place the backup battery on or near the repeater. Lead-acid batteries should be placed at least 5 m (16.4 ft.) away from the repeater. Use a heavy duty cable to make the connection and be sure both the positive (red) and negative (black) terminals are correctly connected.
• When connecting to the battery, keep in order to connect the DC power cable to the repeater first, then the positive (red) terminal and negative (black) terminal
to the battery to prevent an electric shock.

Optional Unit Installation
■ Opening the repeater’s case
Follow the case and cover opening procedures
shown here when an optional unit is installed or
adjust the internal units, etc.
CAUTION: Disconnect the AC power cable
and/or DC power cable from the repeater.
Otherwise, there is danger of electric shock
and/or equipment damage.
➀ Remove 7 screws from the top of the repeater and 1 screw from the top front, then lift up the top cover.

LOCAL OPERATION ■ CROSS BAND OPERATION
■ Turning power ON
➀ On rear panel, push [POWER] to turn power ON.
■ Receiving and transmitting
 Receiving
➀ Push [POWER] to turn power ON.
➁ Rotate [VOLUME] to adjust the audio output level.
➂ Push to select the desired channel.
•When receiving a signal, BUSY indicator turns ON and audio is emitted from the speaker.
•Further adjustment of [VOLUME] to a comfortable listening level may be necessary at this point.
 Transmitting
➀ Take the microphone off hook.
➁ Wait for the channel to become clear.
➂ Push and hold [PTT] to transmit, then
speak into the microphone at your normal voice level.
➃ Release [PTT] to receive.
■
Turning power ON
On rear panel, push [POWER] to turn power ON. LED will be on if there is AC or DC power in the unit.
On each radio, push [POWER] to turn power on to that radio.
Right Radio must be on for Internal Controller to function.
Push to select the desired channel on each radio.
Any radio traffic received on one radio that meets the programmed settings, will cause the other radio to key and pass audio.
XBand 50 is a Half Duplex device. Radio traffic can only pass one direction at a time. Keep Haas time settings low as your system allows.
IMPORTANT:
To maximize the readability of the transmitted
signal:
➀ Pause briefly after pushing [PTT].
➁ Hold the microphone 1 to 2 inch (2.5 to 5 cm) from your mouth, then speak into the microphone at a normal voice level.

MAINTENANCE
■ Fuse replacement
If a fuse blows or the repeater stops functioning, try to find the source
of the proble, and replace the damaged fuse with a new, rated fuse.
Replace the circuitry fuse as shown below.
“There are two fuses for each radio
The left fuses are for Left Radio
The right fuses are for Right Radio
RWARNING:
DISCONNECT the AC power cable and/or DC power cable from
the repeater. Otherwise, there is a danger of electric shock and/
or equipment damage.
