Hardware Installation – FlexWaveTM URH - Preliminary 
FlexWave™ URH 
Operation and Maintenance Manual - Preliminary 
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 
This publication provides basic information about the FlexWave™ URH installation.  
The FlexWave URH provides the same functionality as the ADC Wireless family of distributed 
antenna systems (DAS).  However, the URH platform implements three single band DAS 
system capability into one single chassis.  The system is comprised of a host and remote 
chassis with a fiber optic interface.  The host chassis is intended for central office equipment 
enclosure/indoor use.  This remote chassis is functional for indoor and outdoor installation.  
The remote chassis provides the degree of protection specified by NEMA 6 and IP67 as 
defined by IEC Publication 60529.

Mounting 
The FlexWave™ URH host chassis is 19/23 inch equipment rack mountable requiring 
3 RU spacing.   
 The Flexwave URH remote chassis has a mounting bracket provided with each unit.  
The mounting bracket is banded to the pole with three 1.0” wide stainless steel bands.  The 
chassis is then hung from the bracket by means of protrusions and keyhole slots.  Once the 
chassis is in place, it is further secured to the mounting bracket with two 7/16” stainless 
steel hex bolts.

STANDARDS CERTIFICATION 
FCC:  This equipment complies with the applicable sections of Title 47 CFR Part 15 (Host 
unit), Part 22 (800 MHz Cellular), Part 24 (1900 MHz - PCS), and Part 90 (800/900 - SMR) 
IC: This equipment complies with the applicable sections of RSS-131. The term “IC:” before 
the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada Technical Specifications 
were met. 
The Manufacturer's rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation.  For 
situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be reduced by 
3.5 dB, especially where the output signal is re-radiated and can cause interference to 
adjacent band users.  This power reduction is to be by means of input power or gain 
reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device. 
Note:  To comply with Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) requirements, the maximum 
composite output form the antenna cannot exceed 1000 Watts ERP (Cellular and SMR), the 
antenna cannot exceed 1640 Watts EIRP (PCS), and the antenna must be permanently 
installed in a fixed location that provides at least 6 meters (20 feet) of separation from all 
persons. 
UL/CUL: This will be installed in a restricted access location.  This equipment complies with 
NEMA Type 6, per UL and CUL 50, Standard for Enclosures for Electrical Equipment. This 
equipment provides the degree of protection specified by IP67 as defined in IEC Publication 
529. 
Conforms to ANSI/UL Std. 60950.  Certified to CAN/CSA STD C22.2 No 60950 
FDA/CDRH: This equipment uses a Class 1 LASER according to FDA/CDRH Rules. This 
product conforms to all applicable standards of 21 CFR Part 1040. 
Caution: Modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance 
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

AC Power Wiring Installation 
A 15-foot connectorized 3-wire cable is provided for the AC power connections. The connectorized end 
of the cable connects to the AC power port located on the bottom of the enclosure. The stub end of the 
cable must be routed to an external junction box (not provided) for permanent connection to the AC 
power system wiring.  The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily 
accessible.  
The AC power source must supply 120 or 240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz, single-phase power through a 
15 Amp circuit breaker. The AC power cable provides three wire leads for line, neutral, and 
ground connections. The power cable is rated for indoor or outdoor use and must not be placed 
within electrical conduit as this will impede the cooling of the cable during usage. The electrical 
junction box and any conduit, wire, and fittings required must be provided by the installer. 
Use the following procedure to install the AC power wiring: 
1. Locate the AC power cable that is provided separately with the enclosure. 
2. Route the power cable between the AC power port, located on the underside of the enclosure 
and the nearest AC power junction box as shown in Figure 14. It may be necessary to install a 
new junction box if an existing junction box is not available.

3. Secure the cable between the AC power port and the AC power junction box per local 
practice. Leave sufficient slack in the cable to allow it to be easily connected and 
disconnected from the AC power port. 
4. Install any AC power supply wires that may be required between the AC junction box and 
the AC circuit breaker box. 
5. Connect the AC power cable wires to the AC power supply wires. Refer to Figure 15 to 
identify the color code and wire designations. 
Figure 15. AC Power Cable Connections 
6. At the AC circuit breaker box, connect the AC power supply load wires to a 15 Amp 
circuit breaker. 
7. Place the circuit breaker in the ON position and then test the connectorized end of the AC 
power cable for proper voltage levels and correct polarity. 
8. When testing is complete, place the circuit breaker in the OFF position. 
9. Remove the dust cap from the AC power port located on the bottom of the enclosure. 
. 
Danger: While trying to connect the AC power cable to the remote unit AC power port, it is 
possible for the line terminal on the cable connector to contact the ground pin on the power 
port. If the AC cable is energized, this will result in a direct short to ground for the AC power. To 
avoid possible personal injury and equipment damage, always turn the AC power off before 
connecting the AC power cable to the AC power port.

10. Connect the power cable connector to the AC power port. 
11. Tighten coupling nut until the green band at the top of the connector body is visible.
