BCS II SIMPLEX REPEATER
The Broadband Connectivity System II (BCS II) Simplex Repeater (part
# 710-3201-0002) regenerates DS3, E3, and STS-1 signals to allow in-
creased separation of network elements and provides full DSX function-
ality. The module installs in any vertical BCS II chassis or in the Vector
chassis and is always installed in pairs.
Features
•
Full signal regeneration to equal level point on each circuit
•
•
•
Mini-WECO monitor and I/O jacks
Alarm and tracer lamp LEDs
Full DSX functionality, including patching, monitoring and loop-
backs

BCS II Simplex Repeater User Manual
System-Level Application
The simplex repeater regenerates DS3, E3, and STS-1 signals to equal
level point over a distance of up to 900 ft (using RG-59/734 cable). Two
repeaters are required to regenerate both the send and receive sig-
nals and complete the cross-connect.
The repeater regenerates the signal that appears on the IX port and trans-
mits it out the I port for a length dependent upon the type of cable used.
See the installation section to set the module jumpers based on cable
length.
The OX and O ports are passive; therefore, a second repeater is required
to regenerate and transmit the signal in the other direction. Each net-
work element can be located up to 900 ft from the far end repeater’s IX
port.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
CAUTION
!
CAUTION! This product must be installed and maintained
only by qualified technicians.
VORSICHT! Nur von qualifizierten Technikern installiert wer-
den und instand gehalten werden.
PRECAUCIÓN! Ser instalado y ser mantenido solamente por
los técnicos autorizados.
ATTENTION! Ce produit doit être installé et entretenu
uniquement par des techniciens qualifiés.
ALERT
!
ALERT! These instructions presume you have verified that
the Telect equipment being installed is compatible with the
rest of the system, including power, ground, circuit protec-
tion, signal characteristics, equipment from other vendors,
and local codes or ordinances.
ALERT
!
ALERT! This repeater module contains static-sen-
sitive components. To prevent equipment damage,
wear a properly connected grounding strap while
handling the module and store it in its original anti-
static bag when not in use.

2 Installation
BCS II Simplex Repeater User Manual
Location and Space
The BCS II Simplex Repeater module occupies one slot in any vertical
BCS II chassis or in the Vector chassis. Do not install more than five re-
peater modules in a BCS II chassis. The Vector Chassis can be fully
populated with repeaters. You must install two repeaters to complete
the cross-connect, one repeater for each network element.
Tools and Equipment
No special tools or equipment are required. Wear a grounding strap dur-
ing installation.
Power
–42 Vdc to –58 Vdc power reaches the module through the backplane
connector on the chassis. Power to the backplane connector block is de-
livered from the power distribution panel using 16–22 AWG wire. See
the chassis user manual for additional information on power transmis-
sion. Because the repeater is an active product, Telect recommends us-
ing a dual feed power source.

INSTALLING THE REPEATER
1.
2.
Identify the two network elements you wish to cross-connect.
Plan placement of the two repeater modules in relay racks, ensur-
ing:
◊
◊
the distance between the network element and the repeater is
correct for the system, cables in use and office procedures.
This can be up to 450 feet.
the two repeater modules will not be more than 900 feet apart.
3.
4.
5.
While wearing a grounding strap, remove the repeaters from their
anti-static bags, touching the module edges only.
Set the jumpers on each module for the appropriate data rate, as
shown below (factory setting is T3).
Set the jumpers for the transmit and receive distances, as shown
below (factory settings are Low and Short). See the tables on the
next page to determine the settings appropriate for the type of ca-
ble being used.

OWNER MAINTENANCE
Telect’s BCS II Simplex Repeater module does not need preventive
maintenance. The only part you can replace is the tracer lamp LED.
Replacing the Tracer Lamp LED
1.
2.
Pull the defective LED straight out with your fingers.
Align the replacement LED with the LED socket in the faceplate.
Notice that the socket is keyed, and the LED enters only one way.
ALERT
ALERT! Do not bend the LED’s two metal leads.
3.
Gently insert the LED into the socket, as shown on the next page.
If you encounter resistance, do not force the LED into position.
Move it until it slides easily into the jack module.

OUT-OF-WARRANTY SERVICE
The procedure for out-of-warranty service is the same as for in-warranty
service, except that Telect charges a processing fee, and you must sub-
mit a Purchase Order along with a Return Material Authorization
(RMA) before returning equipment. Call a Customer Service Represen-
tative for help getting these forms.
The processing fee guarantees a repair estimate and is credited against
actual material and labor costs.
REPACKING FOR SHIPMENT
1.
Tag the equipment with owner’s name, address, and telephone
number, together with a detailed description of the problem.
2.
Use the original shipping container if possible. If you do not have
it, package the equipment in a way to prevent shipping damage.
Include the RMA inside the container and legibly print the RMA
number on the outside of the package, near the shipping address.
3.
Insure the package.
NOTE
Telect is not liable for shipping damage.
