The Duplexer provides the filtering necessary to the transmit and receive paths to and from the connected antenna. The Duplexer for the Single- and Dual-Bay RF Modules and the Legacy Dual-Bay 40W RF Modules contains up to two REV path Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA for PRI and/or SEC reverse paths). The Duplexer for an HDM RF Module does not have a Low Noise Amplifier.Duplexers are not field serviceable.Digital Processing ModuleThe Digital Processing Module (DPM) is found only in the HDM RF Modules. The DPM provides the primary processing and logic functions for the HDM RF Module. It also provides the primary power interface for the HDM RF Module, and conversion of the native 28 Vdc voltage to lower voltages as necessary for functionality.The DPM has a Transmit (Tx) Board and a Receive (Rx) Board:•Tx Board—provides band specific filtering for the intended Transmit path.•Rx Board—provides band specific filtering for the intended Receive path. CablesAlways provided at each RF Module shelf are five cables:•two High-Speed Data Cables, which in this document are referred to as LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) cables•two RF Cables (TX0/RX0) and (TX1/RX1)•one Power (PWR) Cable.The RF Module cables that are pre-installed in the PRU connect to the corresponding connectors on the RF Module. The RF Module cables correlate to the antenna connectors on the bottom of the Remote Unit chassis. •

FlexWave Prism Remote Unit RF Module Installation Guide Page 21TECP-77-141 Issue 8  •  300001744178 Rev H  •  August 2015 ©2015 TE ConnectivityINSTALL THE RF MODULE(S)The following sections guide you through the installation of an RF Module into a Remote Unit chassis. The process to install the four different types of RF Modules is basically the same; however, differences are noted and should be followed.NOTE: In the following steps, the RF cables and connectors are referred to as MOD N TX0/RX0 and as MOD N TX1/RX1 where N equals A, B, C, or D.NOTE: When installing RF Modules, populate the RF Modules from highest frequency band to lowest within the Remote Unit chassis. Likewise for power output, populate from the bottom bay to the top; higher output to lower output. That is, for a deployment with 2100 40W, 1900 40W, 850 20W and 700 20W MIMO, install the RF Modules as follows:• 2100 40W RF Module in Bay A• 1900 40W RF Module in Bay B• 850 20W RF Module in Bay C• 700 20W MIMO RF Module in Bay D.Safety PrecautionsCAUTION! This is restricted access equipment and only qualified service personnel should service and operate this equipment using appropriate tools.CAUTION! 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. CAUTION! Always allow sufficient fiber length to permit routing of patch cords and pigtails without severe bends. Fiber optic patch cords or pigtails may be permanently damaged if bent or curved to a radius of less than 2 inches (5.1 cm). CAUTION! Exterior surfaces of the Prism Remote Unit may be hot. Use caution during servicing.CAUTION! Service personnel must confirm that the perimeter gasket and door-to-door gaskets are in place when closing the Remote Unit doors after servicing.CAUTION! 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 transceiver 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 transceiver 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.CAUTION! This system is an RF Transmitter and continuously emits RF energy. Maintain 3 foot (91.4 cm) minimum clearance from the antenna while the system is operating. Wherever possible, shut down the RAN before servicing the antenna.
Page 22 FlexWave Prism Remote Unit RF Module Installation Guide©2015 TE Connectivity TECP-77-141 Issue 8  •  300001744178 Rev H  •  August 2015Guard against Damage from Electro-Static DischargeCAUTION! Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent ESD damage, always wear an ESD wrist strap when working with a Prism Remote Unit or when handling any of its components—including the RF Modules. Connect the ground wire on the ESD wrist strap to an earth ground source before touching the Prism Remote Unit or any of its components. Wear the wrist strap the entire time that you work with the Prism Remote Unit and its components. CAUTION! Place Prism RF Modules in anti-static packing material when transporting or storing them.Unpack and Inspect the RF Module1Inspect the exterior of the shipping container(s) for evidence of rough handling that may have damaged the components in the container.2Unpack each container while carefully checking the contents for damage and verify with the packing slip.3If damage is found or parts are missing, file a claim with the commercial carrier and notify TE Customer Service (see “Contacting TE Connectivity” on page 51). Save the damaged cartons for inspection by the carrier.4Save all shipping containers for use if the equipment requires shipment at a future date. CAUTION! Handle the RF Module with care during installation. Be especially careful to not damage the thermal-interface material (TIM), which is attached to the LPA, DARTs, and/or Motherboard with TX/RX boards. If the TIM is damaged, the LPA can overheat. Before installing the RF Module, check to see if the heatsink material is gouged or cracked. If the TIM is damaged, do not install the RF Module and contact TE Connectivity for assistance (see “Contacting TE Connectivity” on page 51 for contact information).CAUTION! If the thermal-interface material is damaged, the installation and use of the RF Module may void the warranty of the RF Module.
