1. Epoch-III-P8024/8030/8037NM
1.1 Introduction
Epoch-III-P8024/8030/8037NM is a CDMA 1900 MHz RF repeater which
enhances in-building wireless coverage in the most effective and cost efficient
way. For its intelligent design and versatility, the Epoch-III-P8024/8030/
8037NM is the ideal choice for wireless coverage problems indoors. Epoch-III-
P8024/8030/8037NM can be used as a stand-alone repeater with passive antennas
connected to it or it can also be used as a feeder repeater to a DAS (Distributed
Antenna System).
1.1.1 Highlights
• Covers the 65 MHz PCS band including G band
• Supports up to three (3) non-contiguous band combinations
• Supports up to six (6) different instantaneous bandwidths;
5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 MHz
• 24/30/37 dBm composite output power
• 80 dB gain
• 40 dB AGC Range @ 0.5 dB Step [Epoch-III-P8024NM]
• 30 dB AGC Range @ 0.5 dB Step [Epoch-III-P8030/8037NM]
• Sharp out-of-band rejection; 50 dBc @ 1 MHz Sub-band edge
• Automated installation
• Web GUI via DHCP
• Remote Monitoring Capability using External Modem Box (MBOX-DET1)

1.2 Warnings and Hazards
Actual separation distance is determined upon gain of antenna used.
Please maintain a minimum safe distance of at least 50 cm while operating near the
donor and the server antennas. Also, the donor antenna needs to be mounted
outdoors on a permanent structure.
RF EXPOSURE & ANTENNA PLACEMENT Guidelines
Operating the Epoch-III-P8024/8030/8037NM with antennas in
very close proximity facing each other could lead to severe
damage to the repeater.
WARNING! DAMAGE TO REPEATER
Working with the repeater while in operation, may expose the
technician to RF electromagnetic fields that exceed FCC rules for
human exposure. Visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety
to learn more about the effects of exposure to RF electromagnetic
fields.
WARNING! EXPOSURE TO RF
Opening the Epoch-III-P8024/8030/8037NM could result in
electric shock and may cause severe injury.
