Compenser Functional Description Functional Description The COMPENSER is a bi-directional transmitting and receiving booster which compensates for all cable and plug losses which occur in the signal path between the mobile phone and the external antenna. This provides optimum call quality through optimized transmitting and receiving characteristics. The COMPENSER is ready for operation when the vehicle's ignition is turned on. When there is no telephone call in progress, only the two receiving amplifiers are active. During a telephone call the two transmitting amplifiers are also active. The COMPENSER continues to be operational for approx. 2 hours after turning off the ignition. Only after the end of this time the COMPENSER switches off completely (standby); this allows continued use during short stops. In the standby mode the power consumption is minimal (< 0.1 mA), thereby sparing the car battery. When the is turned on again, the COMPENSER is active again. The timer function can be put out of operation by wiring the ignition connection to the permanent plus (fig. 3, terminal 30, +). The COMPENSER is always on then (CAUTION! This means constant power consumption and use of the car battery!) ignition Principle of operation Figure 2

Compenser Installation Guide The following installation instructions are not meant to be a guide for self installation, rather than a supporting document for the professional installer. Should you decide to install the COMPENSER yourself, which will void the RAYTEL LLC Limited Warranty, please read and follow the installation instructions very carefully and strictly observe all safety precautions. Installation Guide Installation:
Improper the COMPENSER requires special knowledge, abilities and tools. Improper installation may cause damage to the unit or to the vehicle! We therefore strongly recommend having the installation done by a professional installer. installation The of Required Accessory Items and Tools To perform the actual installation, the following tools are required:
~ Philips Screwdriver PH 1

Installation Guide Compenser Raytel recommends the use of its Mobile Phone Antenna which will fit to the antenna cable adapter of the COMPENSER. Should you decide to use an existing mobile phone antenna of another brand, you may have to use an Antenna Adapter. After having checked and made available all above mentioned required parts for the installation of the COMPENSER, you should look at the vehicle's owner's manual for the following items:
The vehicle's main available power source should be nominal 12 VDC with minus connected to ground. The COMPENSER operates between 11 VDC and 15 VDC. Selecting the Mounting Position Incorrect installation Incorrect installation can cause damage to the appliance or vehicle. Special knowledge and skills are required to install the COMPENSER. We recommend you to have it installed by a specialized workshop. Personal Injury: Inappropriate places for the installation of the COMPENSER may cause personal in accidents or may disable the safety equipment of the vehicle! When removing coverings or dashboard parts, sharp tools may cause personal injuries or material damage. Use adequate tools and remove parts carefully. Don't nick, cut or pull existing car wiring harnesses. injury Damage of Car Components: Drilling holes or using self tapping screws when mounting the COMPENSER may cause damage to important vehicle components or to the wiring. Make sure there is enough space left behind drilling holes and screws!
The COMPENSER should preferably be installed in the vehicle's trunk, as near as possible to the external mobile phone antenna. It is not permissible to install it in the engine compartment.

Compenser Installation Guide The COMPENSER may only be opened by authorized specialized workshops. The guarantee is void if opened by any other person. If you require service, please ask your specialized dealer or contact our customer and product support department. Preparations First decide on where to install the COMPENSER, taking into consideration the safety criteria, and fitting it as close as possible to the antenna. Now decide on the connection points for permanent plus (terminal 30, +), grounding (terminal 31, -) and ignition / switched plus (terminal 15, ignition). The connection points permanent plus and ignition must be fused here. The following fuses may be used:
permanent plus: fuses 2 A to 5 A
Ignition: fuses 2 A to 5 A Put out the 3 copper wires, red, brown and blue, with cross-section 0.75 mm. The 3 wires are assigned as follows:
red: permanent plus
brown: ground
blue: ignition / switched plus lead You need cable connectors for connecting the 3 copper wires to the equivalent cables of the car wiring harness. It is important to use the provided cable set to comply with FCC rules concerning Maximum Permissible Exposure Safety limits. The cable between COMPENSER and antenna must be at least 3.3ft (1m). Please use an omnidirectional 0dBi antenna. If the external mobile phone antenna already has an RF-cable, shorten the cable to the necessary length and crimp an FME cable jack on the open end. If possible do not use antennas with RF cable RG 174 and suchlike as these lead to increased losses particularly with GSM 1900. Have a size 3.2mm drill ready to bore the mounting holes. The last page of this installation manual shows a drilling template for punch-marking the mounting holes.

Installation Guide Compenser Figure 3 Installation Risk of injury: Unsuitable installation locations can cause injuries during a traffic accident or render safety devices ineffective. Do not install the COMPENSER in the airbag's action area. Disconnecting the minus pole in the car battery The minus pole in the car battery must always be disconnected during work on terminals in the vehicle's electrical system. It is recommended to disconnect the minus pole during the entire installation.

Compenser Operating the COMPENSER The COMPENSER will be installed as shown in Figure 3. First lay the (5m/16.5ft) RF cable type RG58, inserted between the mobile phone holder / hands-free kit and the COMPENSER. Tighten the plug on both sides torque : 1 Nm/0.7ft./lb.. The telephone connection (
) on the COMPENSER is to be used for this purpose. Then plug the adapter (10cm/4in. RF cable) to the antenna connection on the COMPENSER (
Lay the individually prepared antenna cable between the COMPENSER and the mobile telephone antenna and tighten the FME plug (torque: 1 Nm/0.7ft./lb.).
). Now lay the three power supply wires between the COMPENSER and the connection points. Connect them to the cable extension and see to it that you match the colors. Then first clamp the ground wire (brown) at the defined terminal connection point (terminal 31), then the permanent plus wire (red) at the defined terminal connection point (terminal 30) and finally the ignition wire
(blue) at the defined terminal connection point (terminal 15). During this work on the terminals the car battery's minus pole must be disconnected. Next connect the power supply cable's connector (female multipoint) to the COMPENSER's connector (pin panel). There must be an audible "click" when the plug snaps in. Finally screw on the COMPENSER with the four sheet-
metal screws included and connect the minus cable to the car battery again. Operating the COMPENSER Make sure the ignition is off and then use a voltmeter at the point of connection between the connection cable and the extension wires to check if the permanent plus is connected correctly. In the event of a polarity reversal, correct the wiring. The COMPENSER is protected against polarity reversal; it will not be damaged in any way. Turn on the ignition and check at the point of connection between the connection cable and the extension wires if the ignition wiring is connected correctly (+12 V between blue and brown). Set up a mobile phone connection and check if the connection works perfectly.
