DESCRIPTION
This section provides a complete description of the Remote Interface Unit (RIU).
1.1 Primary Functions and Components
The RIU, shown in Figure 1, serves as the interfacing unit between a remote BTS and the
Digivance DHU. The RIU provides the following basic functions:
•
RF interface to the BTS (through donor antenna) and DHU
•
Gain adjustments to the forward and reverse path RF signal
•
Duplexing of the forward and reverse path RF signals
•
Alarm reporting to an external alarm system

Figure 1. Remote Interface Unit
A remote interface between the DHU and the BTS (cell site base station) via a donor antenna
requires specific RF input and output signal levels at the DHU and antenna. The correct levels
at the DHU and antenna can be provided using the RIU. The RIU provides adjustable gain in
both the RF forward and reverse paths. The RIU connects to a directional antenna through a
duplexer which provides separate forward and reverse path connections for the DHU. In the
forward path (downlink), the RIU provides the recommended composite maximum RF input
signal level at the DHU which is –20 dBm. When the level of the RF input signal at the DHU
is –20 dBm, the level of the RF output signal at the DRU is +13 dBm which is the maximum
allowed.
Page 1

ADCP-75-114 • Issue C • June 2001
In the reverse path, the required RF output signal level to the donor antenna will vary
depending on the DRU path loss. When the level of the reverse path (uplink) signal at the DRU
is at the recommended composite maximum level of –40 dBm, the level of the RF output
signal from the DHU is –30 dBm. Therefore, it will generally be necessary to add some gain to
the reverse path signal in order to achieve the required output signal level at the donor antenna.
A block diagram showing a typical remote DHU to BTS interface is provided in Figure 2.
The RIU consists of an electronic circuit board assembly, power supply, duplexer, and linear
power amplifier that are mounted within a powder-coated sheet metal enclosure. The metal
enclosure provides a mounting point for the electronic components, serves as a heat sink, and
controls RF emissions. Except for the fan, the electronic components are not user replaceable.
The RIU 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 RIU front
panel for convenient access. Cable management functions for the power and coaxial cables are
provided by a cable management tray that extends outward from the RIU front panel.

Figure 2. Remote BTS Interface Block Diagram
Two versions of the 800 Mhz RIU are available. One version is used to interface with an Aband BTS and the other version is used to interface with a B-band BTS. The frequency (800
Mhz) and band (A or B) are clearly marked on a label attached to the RIU cable management
tray.
1.2 Mounting
The RIU 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 RIU to be mounted
in either a 19-inch or 23-inch EIA or WECO equipment rack. When rack-mounted, the front
panel of the RIU is flush with the front of the rack. The cable management tray extends 3.9
inches (99 mm) beyond the front panel. Fasteners are provided for rack-mount applications.
For wall-mount applications, a pair of holes is provided in the cable management tray which
allow the RIU to be mounted on any flat vertical surface. The mounting brackets may also be
removed and reinstalled is such a way as to be used to secure the RIU to a flat vertical surface.
The RIU should be oriented with the front panel facing upward when wall-mounted. The
fasteners must be provided by the installer in wall-mount applications.

1.3 Fault Detection and Alarm Reporting
The RIU is designed to detect a power amplifier over or under current condition and a high
temperature condition. A single front panel Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicator turns from
green to red or yellow if a fault is detected. 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 (power amplifier over/undercurrent condition or power
failure) and minor alarm (high temperature) contacts are provided.
1.4 RF Signal Connections
The RF signal connections between the RIU and DHU are supported through a pair of type N
female connectors mounted on the RIU front panel. One connector is used for connecting the
forward path coaxial cable and the other connector is used for connecting the reverse path coaxial
cable. The RF signal connection between the RIU and the donor antenna is supported through a
single type N female connector. The single connector is used for connecting the coaxial jumper
cable that links the RIU to the donor antenna. The DHU cannot be connected directly to a donor
antenna and requires an interface device such as the RIU.
Note: To comply with Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) requirements, antennas must be
installed to provide at least 20 centimeters (8 inches) of separation from all persons per FCC
47 CFR part 2.1091.
1.5 RF Signal Level Adjustments
The RIU is equipped with two digital attenuators for adjusting the signal levels of the forward
and reverse path RF signals. The attenuators provide an attenuation adjustment range of 0 to 31
dB and can be set in 1 dB increments. In the forward path, this range provides a maximum
gain of +40 dB (with attenuator set to 0) or a minimum gain of +9 dB (with attenuator set to 31
dB). In the reverse path, this range provides a maximum gain of +59 dB (with attenuator set
to 0) or a minimum gain of +28 dB (with attenuator set to 31 dB). Each attenuator is adjustable
by means of two rotary switches which are mounted behind the RIU front panel. Access to
each rotary switch is through a small hole. A small screwdriver is required to adjust the switch
setting. Turning each switch adds or removes attenuation and therefore adjusts the signal level
of the specified signal path.
1.6 Powering
The RIU is powered by 120/240 VAC (50–60 Hz) power which is supplied through a standard
three-conductor AC power cord. The power cord is provided with the RIU 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 RIU internal power supply.
1.7 Cooling
Continuous air flow for cooling is provided by a fan 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 RIU for air intake and exhaust. An alarm is provided that indicates if a high
temperature condition (>58º C/136º F) occurs. The fan may be field-replaced if it fails.

2.3 Mounting Procedure
The RIU may be either rack-mounted or wall-mounted. Of the procedures that follow, use
whichever procedure is appropriate for the installation.
2.3.1
Rack-Mount Installation
The RIU may be mounted in either a 19-inch or 23-inch EIA or WECO equipment rack. Both
US standard and metric machine screws are included for rack mounting the RIU. When
loading the RIU in a rack, make sure the mechanical loading of the rack is even to avoid a
hazardous condition such as a severely unbalanced rack. The rack should safely support the
combined weight of all the equipment it holds. In addition, the maximum recommended
ambient temperature for the RIU is 50º C (122º F). Allow sufficient air circulation or space
between units when the RIU is installed in a multi-unit rack assembly because the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater than room ambient.
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.
Use the following procedure to install the RIU in the equipment rack:
1. The RIU is shipped with the mounting brackets installed for 19-inch rack installations. If
mounting the RIU in a 19-inch rack, proceed to step 4. If mounting the RIU in a 23-inch
rack, proceed to step 2.
2. Remove both mounting brackets from the RIU (requires TORX screwdriver with T20 bit).
3. Reinstall both mounting brackets so the long side of the bracket is flush with the RIU
front panel as shown in Figure 4. Use the screws removed in step 2 to re-attach the
brackets to the RIU enclosure.

Figure 5. RIU Rack Mount Installation
2.3.2
Wall-Mount Installation
The RIU may be mounted from any flat vertical surface. It is recommended that a backer board
such as 3/4-inch plywood be applied over the mounting surface to provide a secure base for
attaching the RIU. Two mounting holes are provided in the cable management tray for securing
the RIU to the mounting surface. In addition, the mounting brackets may be removed and then
reinstalled in such a way that they can be used for securing the RIU to the mounting surface.
Either method for mounting may be used at the discretion of the installer. The fasteners must be
provided by the installer. Use the following procedure to wall-mount the RIU:
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.
1. Obtain the appropriate fasteners (lag bolts, screw anchors, etc.) for securing the RIU to
the mounting surface.
2. If the mounting brackets will be used to secure the RIU to the mounting surface, proceed
to step 3. If the mounting brackets will not be used to secure the RIU to the mounting
surface, skip steps 3 and 4 and proceed to step 5.

8. Check the reverse path RF signal level at the antenna and verify that the signal level is
correct per the system design. Re-adjust REV LEVEL ADJ rotary switches to add or
remove gain if required.
9. Reconnect the alarm system or notify the alarm system provider that testing is complete.
3.3 Forward Path Level Adjustment
The level of the composite RF output signal from the donor antenna will vary depending on the
gain of the antenna and the number of channels present. To interface with the DHU, the
forward path signal level must be adjusted to provide a –20 dBm composite (maximum) input
signal to the DHU. Use the following procedure to adjust the RIU to provide the required
forward path signal level at the DHU:
1. Connect a spectrum analyzer or power meter to the antenna connector. The required
signal levels and test points are shown in Figure 13.

2. Measure the RF level of a single carrier, such as the control channel, in dBm. Make sure
the resolution bandwidth of the spectrum analyzer or power meter is narrow enough to
measure the power of the single 30 kHz channel only.
3. Verify that all carriers are coming in at equal power at bandwidth.
4. Calculate the total composite signal output power from the antenna using the following
formula:
Ptot = Pc+10 LogN
Where,
Ptot is the total composite power in dBm
Pc is the power per carrier in dBm as measured in step 2, and
N is the total number of channels.
Page 18

ADCP-75-114 • Issue C • June 2001
5. Determine the total cable loss that is imposed by the coaxial cable that links the antenna
to the RIU and by the forward path coaxial cable that links the RIU to the DHU.
6. Subtract the total cable loss from the total composite power calculated in step 4.
7. Subtract –20 (the composite maximum input signal level required at the DHU) from the
amount determined in step 6. The difference equals the total amount of gain required to
raise the forward path signal level to the –20 dBm level required by the DHU. The result
should be negative which indicates that gain is required. The following formula outlines
the required calculations:
Ptot – CLtot – (–20) = Amount of gain (should be negative) required.
Where;
Ptot is the total composite power in dBm (step 4)
CLtot is the total cable loss (step 5)
–20 is the composite maximum input signal level required at the DHU
8. Using a small screwdriver, adjust the FWD LEVEL ADJ rotary switches to insert the
gain required (as determined in step 7) to provide a –20 dBm signal at the DHU. Refer to
Figure 14 for a description of how the rotary switches work and to Table 4 for the
adjustment settings.
Note: The RIU provides a forward path signal adjustment range of from +9 dB to +40 dB.
9. Disconnect the spectrum analyzer or power meter from the antenna.

3.4 Reverse Path Level Adjustment
The level of the composite RF signal that should be input to the antenna will vary depending
on the maximum acceptable DRU path loss per the system design. The design objective is for
the Digivance system to provide unity gain. Use the following procedure to adjust the RIU to
provide the required reverse path signal level at the antenna:
1. Determine the maximum acceptable DRU path loss per the system design specifications.
2. Determine the total gain provided by the DRU antenna and the donor antenna.
3. Determine the total cable loss that is imposed by the reverse path coaxial cable that links
the DHU to the RIU and the coaxial cable that links the RIU to the antenna.
4. Calculate the total gain that must be added by the RIU using the following formula:
RIU Gain = DRU path loss + Cable loss – DHU gain (10 dB) – Antenna Gain
The result should be negative which indicates that gain is required.
5. Using a small screwdriver, adjust the REV LEVEL ADJ rotary switches to insert the gain
required as determined in step 4. Refer to Figure 14 for a description of how the rotary
switches work and to Table 4 for the adjustment settings.
Note: The RIU provides a reverse path signal adjustment range of from +28 dB to +59 dB.

MAINTENANCE
This section explains the alarm reporting system, provides a method for isolating and
troubleshooting faults, and provides procedures for replacing the cooling fan.
The RIU requires no regular maintenance to insure continuous and satisfactory operation.
Maintenance, as it applies to the RIU, primarily involves diagnosing and correcting service
problems as they occur. When an alarm is reported, it will be necessary to follow a systematic
troubleshooting procedure to locate the problem. Once the source of the problem is isolated,
the appropriate corrective action can be taken to resolve the problem. The only component that
can be replaced is the cooling fan. The failure of any other component within the RIU requires
replacement of the RIU.
4.1 Tools and Materials
The following tools and materials are required in order to complete the procedures in this
section:
•
ESD wrist strap
•
Small size flat-bladed screwdriver
•
TORX screwdriver (T10)
4.2 Fault Detection and Alarm Reporting
Detection of a fault by the RIU generates an external alarm response. An ALARM LED
indicator is provided on the RIU front panel to visually indicate when a fault is detected. In
addition, normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) dry alarm contacts are provided to
report minor and major alarms to an external alarm system. A minor alarm is defined as a
high temperature condition. A major alarm is defined as a power amplifier over/undercurrent
condition.
When the RIU alarm contacts are connected to an external alarm system, detection of a fault
will generate an alarm at the Network Operations Center (NOC). Whenever a problem is
reported, refer to Table 5 to isolate and correct the fault.

4.3 Fan Replacement
It is recommended that the fan (catalog number DGVI-200000FAN) be replaced every five years.
Replacement of a fan requires that the RIU be turned off for a short period of time. This will drop
all existing calls, cause a temporary loss of service, and generate a major alarm. Use the following
procedure to replace the RIU cooling fan:
1. Before touching the RIU or handling a fan, slip on an Electro-Static Discharge (ESD)
wrist strap and connect the ground wire to an earth ground source. Wear the ESD wrist
strap while completing each section of the fan installation procedure.
Warning: Electronic components can be damaged by static electrical discharge. To prevent
ESD damage, always wear an ESD wrist strap when working on the RIU and when handling
electronic components.
2. Notify the NOC or alarm monitoring system operator that the system is going offline.
3. Place the RIU AC power On/Off switch in the OFF position (press O) and disconnect the
AC power cord.
Caution: High voltage components are present within the RIU enclosure. Disconnect the AC
power cord from the AC power source before proceeding to step 4.
4. Remove the four flat-head screws (requires TORX screwdriver with T15 bit) that secure the
fan/grill assembly to the side of the enclosure as shown in Figure 15 and save for reuse.
5. Carefully withdraw the fan/grill assembly from the enclosure until the wiring harness is
exposed and the connector is accessible.
6. Lift the small latch on the wiring harness connector (see Figure 15) and carefully unplug
the connector from the circuit board connector.
7. Remove the four plastic rivets that secure the faulty fan to the grill by pushing outward
on rivet center post until the rivet can be withdrawn from the grill as shown in Figure 16.
8. Remove the fan from the grill and then locate the replacement fan.
9. Use the rivets removed in step 7 to secure the replacement fan to the grill. Orient the fan
so the wiring harness is on the right side (side of fan that faces toward back of enclosure
when installed) and the arrow on the fan housing faces into the enclosure.
