Product Description

Fully Automatic - Highly Recommended.  This high-quality dual-band 65dB (800/1900MHz) system uses Top Signal's automatic 65dB dual-band small building amplifier.  The Top Signal 65 has ALC (automatic level control) to control amplifier gain along with automatic shutoff when errors are detected. The complete system has been designed to broadcast an improved cell signal into multiple rooms (1-2 rooms) in homes and buildings.  Broadcast distance varies depending upon outside cell signal strength and frequency.  Interior and exterior antennas should be separated a minimum 30+ feet to avoid oscillation between antennas.  The Top Signal 65 will automatically adjust to compensate for antenna separation.  This system requires installation.
 
Special Note: The Top Signal 65 dual-band amplifier runs at a full 65dB gain. Other manufacturers advertise 65dB amplifiers that have a 65dB maximum gain, but run 60dB typical gain.
 
 
 
 
Sample installation: Antenna on the roof,
amplifier and dome antenna in the attic. 

Components in this 65dB dual-band platform:

  1. TopSignal 65 dual-band amplifier
  2. Inside Antenna (ceiling dome or wall panel)
  3. Outside Antenna (Omni-directional or directional)
  4. Coax from amplifier to outside antenna
  5. Coax from amplifier to inside antenna
  6. J-Pipe Universal Antenna Mount
Top Signal 65 - Complete System

Major Features

  • Fully Automatic - gain control, auto-shutoff, etc
  • Runs at full 65dB gain
  • Linear amplifier for large number of callers and data
  • Complete facory test and burn-in
  • 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty
 
 
Outside antenna needs to be mounted on the roof of your building.  Outside antennas are designed to be mounted on a pole (max 2" diameter) using U-bolts.  Coax needs to be run from the outside antenna to the amplifier.  The amplifier can easily be mounted on a wall in an equipment, utility, or storage room.  The inside antenna needs to be mounted on a ceiling (dome) or wall (panel).  Coax needs to be run from the inside antenna to the amplifier.  Standard wall plug power is required near the amplifier.  Antennas do not require power.
 

Coverage Area

Inside coverage distance varies depending upon outside signal strength, carrier frequency (800 or 1900Mhz) and interior obstacles.  The Top Signal 65 has been designed to provide approximately 500 to 1,000 sf of coverage in low signal areas (1 bar outside) and up to 5,000 sf in strong signal areas (4-5 bars outside).  Note: These calculations are for 1900Mhz.  800MHz will provide more coverage.  Please consult with Powerful Signal to determine expected coverage area for your situation.
 

Antenna Separation

Exterior and interior antennas need to have the proper separation.  This is usually about 30+ feet depending upon several variables.  The Top Signal 65 has automatic ajustment capability and will adjust to compensate for antenna separation.
  • Obstacles (metal, concrete, etc.) between antennas
  • Difference in height between antennas.  Vertical separation is very effective.
Contact Powerful Signal for more information regarding antenna separation.  We will help you design your system properly.
 

Top Signal 65 Amplifier

The Top Signal 65 dual-band (800/1900MHz) cell signal repeater for small buildings has ALC automatic level control to automatically adjust the gain of the amplifier.  This adjustability enables the amplifier to easily configure itself for many different building scenarios. The amplifier is fitted with a heavy industrial metal case, ON/OFF power switch, indicator lights and industry standard N connectors.  This amplifier is one of our highest quality units and is FCC and IC certified.

Exterior Antennas

A choice of two different exterior antennas are offered.
  • 5dB gain Omni fiberglass
  • 9dB gain directional
The omni antenna collects signal from 360 degrees, all directions.  This antenna is generally recommended, and it works well in most situations.
 
The directional must be pointed in the direction of the cell tower(s).  This antenna works best when there is a good line-of-site to the cell tower or the terrain is mainly flat or low rolling hills.  Not recommended in low spots or dense forested areas.
 
Both antennas work with 800/1900MHz carriers.  Mounting hardware is included and installation is required.
 
A J-Pipe Universal Antenna Mount is included with the system.  This mount allows the exterior antenna to be easily mounted to a wall or rooftop.

Interior Antennas

A choice of two different interior antennas is also offered:
  • RFS  AO8818DC00 - High-end Omni ceiling mount dome
  • Directional wall mount panel

The dome is recommended in most situations when an attic or dropped ceiling is available.  A panel is recommended in homes with vaulted ceilings and situations where antennas cannot be mounted on the ceiling.

Coax

This system provides two lengths of 400 low loss coax.  One length is used from the amplifier to the interior antenna.  The other length is used from the amplifier to the exterior antenna.  Select lengths that best fit your installation environment.  Remember: each foot of coax is signal loss so don't just get the longest length.  Figure what you need and select the length that best fits.  Note:  Never coil excess coax.  It will cause problems.
