ADMONISHMENTS
Important safety admonishments are used throughout this manual to warn of possible hazards
to persons or equipment. An admonishment identifies a possible hazard and then explains
what may happen if the hazard is not avoided. The admonishments — in the form of Dangers,
Warnings, and Cautions — must be followed at all times. These warnings are flagged by use
of the triangular alert icon (seen below), and are listed in descending order of severity of
injury or damage and likelihood of occurrence.
Danger: Danger is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Warning: Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause severe
personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Caution: Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor
personal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following general admonishments apply throughout the procedures in this manual.
Warning: Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when
installing or using electrically-powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install
or use electrical equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm.
Warning: Do not install the DRU in marine, industrial, or Intrinsic Safety (IS) environments
without an engineering review of the air quality including the presence of other constituent
gasses and dusts. Contact ADC for application assistance if necessary.
Warning: The DRU is powered by 48 VDC power which is supplied over customer-provided
wiring. To prevent electrical shock when installing or modifying the DRU power wiring,
disconnect the wiring at the power source before working with uninsulated wires or terminals.
Danger: This equipment uses a Class 1 Laser according to FDA/CDRH rules. Laser
radiation can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the ends of any optical
fiber. Do not look directly into the optical adapters of any digital unit or exposure to laser
radiation may result. An optical power meter should be used to verify active fibers. A
protective cap or hood MUST be immediately placed over any radiating adapter or optical
fiber connector to avoid the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation exposure. This
practice also prevents dirt particles from entering the adapter or connector
Danger: Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Exposure to laser radiation may result. Do
not assume laser power is turned-off or the fiber is disconnected at the other end.
Danger: Always allow sufficient fiber length to permit routing without severe bends. Fibers may
be permanently damaged if bent/curved to a radius of less than 2 inches (50 mm).

1 SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
The Digivance ICS is a digitally distributed antenna system that provides in-building coverage
for cellular analog (AMPS) and digital (TDMA and CDMA) phone systems operating within
the 800 MHz frequency bands. Large buildings typically interfere with the transmission or
reception of cellular phone system signals by imposing high attenuation losses on RF signals.
The Digivance ICS is designed to overcome the attenuation losses that make cellular
communications within buildings or structures difficult or impossible. With the Digivance
ICS, cellular phone RF signals can be distributed to the interior areas of any building or
structure to eliminate dead spots and improve reception.
1.1 Basic System Components
The basic components of the Digivance ICS and their functions are shown in Figure 1. The
basic system consists of the Digital Host Unit (DHU), Digital Remote Unit (DRU), and when
additional capacity or longer fiber runs are required, the Digital Expansion Unit (DEU). In
addition, two accessory items, the High Power Conditioning Panel (HPCP) and the Remote
Interface Unit (RIU) may be used as needed to interface the DHU with the cellular system
Base Transceiver Station (BTS).
1.2 Interface With BTS
The DHU interfaces, either locally or remotely, with the BTS. As referenced in this
publication, the BTS could be either a microcell or a cell site base station. When the BTS is
co-located (microcell interface) with the DHU, a local interface over coaxial cable is possible.
An interface device, such as the HPCP, may be used to provide the proper input RF signal
level to the DHU. When the BTS is not co-located (cell site base station interface) with the
DHU, a remote interface using a donor antenna is required. An interface device, such as the
RIU, is used to provide the proper input and output RF signal levels between the donor
antenna and the DHU.
In the forward path, the DHU receives RF signals from the BTS. The DHU digitizes the RF
signals and then converts them to digital optical signals for transport to the DEU’s and
DRU’s. In the reverse path, the DHU receives digital optical signals from the DRU’s and
DEU’s. The DHU converts the optical signals back to the original RF signal format for the
interface with the BTS.
1.3 Interface With Cellular Phones
The DRU interfaces (through an external antenna) with the cellular phones. In the reverse
path, the DRU receives RF signals from each cellular phone. The DRU digitizes the RF
signals and then converts them to digital optical signals for transport to the DHU. In the
forward path, the DRU receives digital optical signals from the DHU. The DRU converts the
optical signals back to the original RF signal format for transmission to the cellular phones. A
small external antenna is connected to the DRU to transmit and receive RF signals to and from
the cellular phones.

1.4 Digital Fiber Optic Transport
The DHU is connected to each DRU unit over a pair of multi-mode or single-mode
(depending on the type of optical transceiver specified) optical fibers. One fiber is used to
transport the forward path optical signal. The other fiber is used to transport the reverse path
optical signal. Because the optical signal is digital, no adjustments to the optical signal level
are required at the DRU or the DHU as long as the BER is adequate. Either 62.5 or 50 micron
core multi-mode optical fiber; or 9 micron core single-mode optical fiber may be used for the
ADCP-75-130 • Issue 3C • August 2006

optical transport connection. With 62.5 micron core multi-mode fiber , the optical path may be
up to 500 meters in length. With 50 micron core multi-mode fiber, the optical path may be up
to 750 meters in length. With 9 micron core single-mode fiber, the optical path may be up to
10 kilometers in length. Single- and multi-mode fibers may be used in the same system. The
optical fibers must be terminated with duplex LC connectors for connection with the DHU,
DEU’s and DRU’s.
1.5 Capacity for Expansion and Extended Runs
The DEU enables 6-way expansion of any optical port. This makes it possible to add more
DRU’s without having to install additional DHU’s. Each DHU is equipped with six optical
ports. If more than six DRU’s are required by the application, a DEU may be connected to one
of the DHU optical ports which expands that port to six ports. If still more optical ports are
required, then a second DEU may be connected to the DHU; or a second DEU may be
connected to the first DEU. The ability to cascade DEU’s in parallel or in series provides
unlimited flexibility. It is physically possible to connect an unlimited number DRU’s to the
DHU through the installation of DEU’s. The maximum number of DRU’s that can connected
to the DHU is limited only by the cumulative noise effect caused by antenna combining.
1.6 Power Requirements
The DHU, DEU, and RIU are each powered by 120–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 2 Amp power which
is supplied through a standard three-conductor 120 VAC power cord. The DRU is powered by
34–48 VDC which is supplied by either the DHU, DEU, or an AC/DC wall-mount style
converter. When the DRU is powered by the DHU or DEU, the power is fed through a
category 3 or 5 cable terminated with male RJ-45 connectors.
1.7 Fault Detection and Alarm Reporting
LED indicators are provided on the front panel of the various units to indicate if the system is
normal or if a fault is detected. In addition, normally open and normally closed alarm contacts
(for both major and minor alarms) are provided at the DHU for connection to a customer
provided external alarm system. This could be a local system or automatic call-out system.

2.1.1 Primary Components
The DHU consists of two electronic circuit board assemblies, a power supply assembly, and a
fan assembly that are mounted within a powder-coated sheet metal enclosure. The metal
enclosure provides a mounting point for the electronic assemblies, serves as a heat sink, and
controls RF emissions. Except for the fan units and optical transceivers, the DHU components
are not field replaceable. The DHU is designed for use within a non-condensing indoor
environment such as inside a wiring closet or cabinet. All controls, connectors, and indicators
are mounted on the DHU front panel for convenient access. Cable management functions for
the power and fiber optic cables are provided by a cable management tray that extends
outward from the DHU front panel.
2.1.2 Mounting
The DHU may be used in both rack-mount and wall-mount applications. For rack mount
applications, a pair of reversible mounting brackets is provided that allow the DHU to be
mounted in either a 19-inch or 23-inch EIA or WECO equipment rack. When rack-mounted,
the front panel of the DHU is flush with the front of the rack and the cable management tray
extends 3.9 inches (99 mm) beyond the front panel. For wall-mount applications, a pair of
holes is provided in the cable management tray which allow the DHU to be mounted on any
flat vertical surface. The DHU should be oriented with the front panel facing upward when
wall-mounted. Fasteners are provided for rack-mount applications.
ADCP-75-130 • Issue 3C • August 2006
Page 5
© 2006, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
2.1.3 Fault Detection and Alarm Reporting
The DHU detects internal circuitry faults and optical port faults. Various front panel Light
Emitting Diode (LED) indicators turn from green to red or yellow if a fault is detected or an
optical input is lost. A set of alarm contacts (normally open and normally closed) are also
provided for reporting an alarm to an external alarm system when a fault is detected. Both
major alarm (all fault conditions except high temperature) and minor alarm (high temperature
fault condition) contacts are provided.
2.1.4 RF Signal Connections
The RF signal connections with the BTS are supported through two N-type female connectors.
One connector is used for coaxial cable connection of the forward path RF signal. The other
connector is used for coaxial cable connection of the reverse path RF signal. In most
installations, the DHU will not connect directly to the BTS but will be connected to an
interface device such as the RIU or the HPCP. Additional information concerning the DHU to
BTS interface is provided in the Digivance ICS Remote Interface Unit User Manual (ADCP-
75-178) and in the Digivance ICS 800 and 1900 MHz High Power Conditioning Panel User
Manual (ADCP-75-175).
Maximum output at the DRU antenna port is obtained when the level of the composite
forward path RF signal input to the DHU is 1 dB below the DHU overdrive level. The
maximum signal level the DHU will accept is determined by the DHU overdrive limiter. If the
input signal level is above a specified level, the overdrive limiter will incrementally insert
attenuation. The overdrive limiter protects the system against excessive inputs but does not
function during normal operation. The level of the RF signal output at the DRU is dependent
on the modulation protocol and the number of carriers.
2.1.5 Optical and Electrical Connections
The optical and electrical connections with the DRU’s and DEU’s are supported by six optical
and six electrical ports. Each optical and electrical port consists of a status LED, an RJ-45 DC
power jack, a port enabled/disable switch, and a small form factor LC-type optical transceiver
(available separately). Each transceiver is color-coded to identify whether it supports single-
mode (blue) or multi-mode (black/beige) fiber. An optical port may be connected to a DRU, a
DEU, or not used. An electrical port may be connected to a DRU or not used. Unused ports
are disabled via the corresponding port enable/disable switch. When disabled, the port LED is
off, the alarm reporting function is disabled, the laser is off, and the DC power is off. Enabling
the enable/disable switch activates all functions. The modular optical transceivers are
accessory items and are field replaceable.
2.1.6 Powering
The DHU is powered by 120–240 VAC (50/60 Hz) power which is supplied through a
standard three-conductor 120 VAC power cord. The power cord is provided with the DHU
and is 98 inches (2.5 meters) long. A resetable circuit breaker/On-Off switch is provided at the
unit front panel. The switch applies power to the DHU internal power supply.

2.1.7 Cooling
Continuous air-flow for cooling is provided by dual fans mounted on the right side of the
housing. A minimum of 3 inches (76 mm) of clearance space must be provided on both the
left and right sides of the DHU for air intake and exhaust. An alarm is provided that indicates
if a high temperature condition (>50º C/122º F) occurs. The fans may be field-replaced if
either fan fails.
2.1.8 User Interface
The DHU user interface consists of the various connectors, switches, terminals, and LEDs that
are provided on the DHU front panel. The DHU user interface points are described in Table 1
and indicated in Figure 3.

2.2.1 Primary Components
The DRU consists of an electronic circuit board assembly that is mounted within a powder-
coated sheet metal enclosure. The metal enclosure provides a mounting point for the
electronic assembly, serves as a heat sink, and controls RF emissions. Except for the optical
transceiver, the DRU components are not field replaceable. The DRU is designed for use
within a non-condensing indoor environment such as inside a building. All controls,
connectors, and indicators (except the SMA antenna connector) are mounted on the DRU front
panel for convenient access.
2.2.2 Mounting
The DRU is equipped with four integral mounting feet that allow it to be mounted on any flat
horizontal or vertical surface. A typical location for mounting the DRU would be on a ceiling
or a wall. Slots are provided in the mounting feet for securing the DRU to the mounting
surface.
2.2.3 Fault Detection
The DRU detects internal circuitry faults or loss of system inputs. A front panel LED indicator
turns from green to red when a fault condition is detected or when the optical input is lost. The
DRU sends the fault information to the DHU or DEU over the reverse path optical fiber. A
corresponding port LED at the DHU or DEU turns from green to red when the DRU reports a
fault.
2.2.4 Antenna Connection
The RF signal interface between the DRU and the cellular users is provided through an
external antenna. An SMA connector is provided for connecting the DRU to the antenna. The
antenna must be ordered separately. Several types of antennas with various RF propagations
are available. Non-ADC antennas may also be used with the DRU to meet various application
requirements but must comply with equipment authorization for RF exposure compliance.
2.2.5 Optical Port
The DRU uses a small form factor LC-type optical transceiver for connecting the optical
fibers. Each transceiver is color-coded to identify whether it supports single-mode (blue) or
multi-mode (black/beige) fiber. Depending on the application requirements, the optical port
may be connected to either a DHU or a DEU. The modular optical transceiver is an accessory
item and is field replaceable.
2.2.6 Powering
The DRU is equipped with a female RJ-45 jack that provides a connection point for the DC
power cable. The DRU is powered by 34–48 VDC power which is supplied through the RJ-45
connector. Power to the DRU may be supplied by the DHU, DEU, or by a 120 VAC to 48
ADCP-75-130 • Issue 3C • August 2006

VDC power converter (available separately as an accessory item) plugged into a properly
grounded 120 VAC outlet. The AC/DC converter is a UL Listed stand-alone Limited Power
Supply (LPS) unit with a rated output of 48 VDC at 1.2 Amps. When powered by the DHU or
DEU, a category 3 or 5 twisted-pair cable terminated with RJ-45 connectors is required.
2.2.7 Cooling
The DRU is cooled by natural convection air-flow. The DRU mounting feet are designed to provide
clearance under the unit so that air can enter the DRU enclosure from the bottom and exit through
the top. A minimum clearance of 3 inches (76 mm) must be provided on all sides of the DRU
(except the bottom) to ensure there is adequate air circulation for cooling. In addition, at least one
surface of the DRU installation area must be open to the interior of the building.
2.2.8 User Interface
The DRU user interface consists of the connectors and LED that are provided on the DRU
front and rear panels. The DRU user interface points are described in Table 2 and indicated in
Figure 5.

2.3.1 Primary Components
The DEU consists of two electronic circuit board assemblies and a power supply that are
mounted within a powder-coated sheet metal enclosure. The metal enclosure provides a
mounting point for the electronic assemblies and serves as a heat sink. Except for the fan units
and optical transceivers, the DEU components are not field replaceable. The DEU is designed
for use within a non-condensing indoor environment such as inside a wiring closet or cabinet.
All controls, connectors, and indicators are mounted on the DEU front panel for convenient
access. Cable management functions for the power and fiber optic cables are provided by a
cable management tray that extends outward from the DEU front panel.
2.3.2 Mounting
The DEU may be used in both rack-mount and wall-mount applications. For rack mount
applications, a pair of reversible mounting brackets is provided that allows the DEU to be
ADCP-75-130 • Issue 3C • August 2006
Page 11
© 2006, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
mounted in either a 19-inch or 23-inch EIA or WECO equipment rack. When rack-mounted,
the front panel of the DEU is flush with the front of the rack and the cable management tray
extends 3.9 inches (99 mm) beyond the front panel. For wall-mount applications, a pair of
holes is provided in the cable management tray which allow the DEU to be mounted on any
flat vertical surface. The DEU should be oriented with the front panel facing upward when
wall-mounted. Fasteners are provided for rack-mount applications.
2.3.3 Fault Detection
The DEU detects internal circuitry faults or loss of system inputs. Various front panel Light
Emitting Diode (LED) indicators turn from green to red or yellow when a fault is detected or
when an optical input is lost. The DEU transports the fault information to the DHU or
supporting DEU over the reverse path optical fiber. A corresponding port LED at the DHU or
DEU turns from green to red when the DEU reports a fault.
2.3.4 Optical and Electrical Connections
The optical and electrical connections with the DRU’s and DEU’s are supported by six optical
and six electrical ports. Each optical and electrical port consists of a status LED, an RJ-45 DC
power jack, a port enable/disable switch, and a small form factor LC type optical transceiver
(available separately). Each transceiver is color-coded to identify whether it supports single-
mode (blue) or multi-mode (black/beige) fiber. An optical port may be connected to a DRU, a
DEU, or not used. An electrical port may be connected to a DRU or not used. Unused ports are
disabled via the corresponding port enable/disable switch. When disabled, the port LED is off,
the alarm reporting function is disabled, the laser is off, and the DC power is off. Enabling the
enable/disable switch activates all functions. The DEU also provides one optical port (designated
as the host port ) for the optical interface with the DHU or a supporting DEU. The modular
optical transceivers are available as accessory items and are field replaceable.
2.3.5 Powering
The DEU is powered by 120–240 VAC (50/60 Hz) power which is supplied though a standard
three-conductor 120 VAC power cord. The power cord is provided with the DEU and is 98
inches (2.5 meters) long. A resetable circuit breaker/On-Off switch is provided at the unit
front panel. The switch applies power to the DEU internal power supply.
2.3.6 Cooling
Continuous air flow for cooling is provided by dual fans mounted on the right side of the sheet
metal housing. A minimum of 3 inches (76 mm) of clearance space must be provided on both
the left and right sides of the DEU for air intake and exhaust. An alarm is provided that
indicates if a high temperature condition (>50º C/122º F) occurs. The fans may be field-
replaced if either unit fails.
2.3.7 User Interface
The DEU user interface consists of the various connectors, switches, and LEDs that are
provided on the DEU front panel. The DEU user interface points are described in Table 3 and
indicated in Figure 7.
