PRISM REMOTE UNITS
FlexWave PRUs control RF emissions, interface with the FlexWave Prism (ost Unit )) and perform the
optical to electrical conversion for transport to the antennas. The PRU is an environmentally-sealed unit
designed for outdoor use that houses the electronic assemblies such as the Digital/Analog Radio
Transceiver DART board and the Power Amplifier, and seals out dirt and moisture. The PRU uses fans
located on the top of each unit to cool its chassis. The antenna cable connectors, fiber connectors, AC or
DC power connector, and the unit status indicator are located on the bottom of the unit.
A PRU supports or provides the following basic functions:
•
•
•
Receives on the forward path the digitized spectrum from the (ost and converts the spectrum back
into an RF signal to be distributed via an externally mounted antenna system. On the reverse path,
the PRU digitizes the designated RF spectrum and digitally transports it over single mode fiber or
Millimeter Wave MMW to the (ost.
Provides RF interface antenna port for the antennas.
Accepts either AC or DC power input.

PORTS AND CONNECTORS
Make sure you refer to the section that describes the PRU deployed in your installation. "Bottom of an
AC-Powered Quad-Bay PRU on page and "DC-Powered Quad-Bay PRU on page shows the
differences between an AC-powered and a DC-powered PRU. The differences will be the same for
Single-Bay, Dual-Bay, and Tri-Bay chassis. Additionally, for both the AC-Powered and DC-Powered
PRUs:
•
The number of Antenna connectors on the bottom of a PRU corresponds to the number of RF Module
bays in that PRU model, where there are two Antenna connectors per bay. For example:
–
–
•
There are four RF Module bays in a Quad-Bay PRU, so there are eight Antenna connectors.
There is one RF Module bay in the Single-Bay PRU, so there are two Antenna connectors.
The Single-Bay PRU only has one Fiber connector whereas the other three PRU models have two.

Remote Unit Status LED
This section illustrates the Status LED on a Quad-Bay PRU. The Status LED for the Single-Bay, Dual-Bay,
and Tri-Bay PRUs is in the same location and functions the same as the Status LED for the Quad-Bay
PRU.
The Remote Unit has a single red Status LED that is located on the bottom of the chassis. At system
startup, the Status LED is red to indicate that the Remote Unit is powering up and that the SeRF
processor does not yet control the Remote Unit; the Status LED will remain red for approximately one
minute. )f after three minutes the Status LED is still red, it indicates the Remote Unit is unable to boot
up. Some common failures that can prevent the PRU from booting up include a faulty Power Supply,
SeRF, or Compact Flash Card.

The SeRF Module LEDs automatically enter a LED Roll Test sequence (cycle through its colors)
when the SeRF FPGA is loaded (approximately 4 minutes after initial power up) or when a
SeRF synthesizer failure occurs. The LED Roll Test sequence takes approximately two seconds
to complete, and cycles the ALARM, SYNTH, and STATUS LEDs, after which the LEDs begin
normal operation. Additionally, an active SeRF Synthesizer failure causes the same LED
sequencing approximately every minute until the SeRF failure clears.

FOR
PRISM REMOTE UNITS
Dependent on the Prism Remote Unit model, a PRU enclosure can have from one to four RF Module bays
and can support up to four RF Modules, as indicated by the model name. That is, the Single-Bay PRU has
one RF Module bay and can only support one RF Module, and the Quad-Bay PRU has four RF Module
bays and can support up to four RF Modules.
The function of the Remote Unit RF Modules on the Forward Path is to:
•
•
•
convert the digitized RF transported from the (ost to Analog RF
amplify the Analog RF signal
provide signal filtering.
The function of the Remote Unit RF Modules on the Reverse Path is to:
•
•
•
convert the Analog RF from the handset to Digital RF for transport to the (ost
amplify the Digital RF signal
provide signal filtering.
NOTE:
The RF Modules are field replaceable, but cannot be serviced in the field.
RF MODULE DIGITAL/ANALOG RADIO TRANSCEIVERS
Each RF Module can support any of the following Digital/Analog Radio Transceiver DART
combinations:
•
•

Duplexer and Low Noise Amplifier
The RF Module provides the Remote Unit with an internal Duplexer that is optimized to provide the
desired RF band-pass filtering and in-band equipment isolation between FWD and REV paths. 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 W RF Modules
contains up to two REV path Low Noise Amplifiers LNA for PR) and/or SEC reverse paths .
The Duplexer for an (DM RF Module does not have a Low Noise Amplifier.
Duplexers are not field serviceable.
Digital Processing Module
The Digital Processing Module DPM is found only in the (DM RF Modules. The DPM provides the
primary processing and logic functions for the (DM RF Module. )t also provides the primary power
interface for the (DM RF Module, and conversion of the native
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.
Cables
Always provided at each RF Module shelf are five cables:
•
•
•
two (igh-Speed Data Cables, which in this document are referred to as LVDS Low-Voltage
Differential Signaling cables
two RF Cables TX /RX
one Power PWR Cable.
and TX /RX
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.

INSTALL
THE
PRISM REMOTE UNIT
This section tells you how to install a Prism Remote Unit PRU . )f the PRU is already installed and you
need to add one or more RF Modules, go to ")nstall the RF Module s on page .
PLANNING FOR A PRISM REMOTE UNIT INSTALLATION
Before you unpack the PRU, you should first plan for where it will be mounted and collect the tools and
supplies that are required to mount the PRU and then connect it to a Prism system.
NOTE:
Installation of the Prism Remote Unit may proceed separately from the installation of the
corresponding Host Unit.
Safety Precautions
CAUTION!
This is restricted access equipment and only qualified service personnel should open, service, or
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!
Contact with overhead cables, especially electric power cables, could cause serious personal injury or
death. Before beginning the installation, check the location of all overhead wires and cables and take
precautions to avoid accidental contact.
CAUTION!
Exterior surfaces of the Prism Remote Unit may be hot. Use caution during 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.
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!
Always use an Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) wrist strap whenever you work with the Prism Remote
Unit or its components. Make sure that it maintains maximum contact with bare skin. ESD grounding
straps are available with banana plugs, metal spring clips, or alligator clips. To ensure adequate
grounding, connect the ESD wrist strap to any bare metal surface of the Prism Remote Unit chassis
(which may require that you scrape off some of its protective coating), or to the Dual-Ground
Connector at the bottom of the unit. For information on the Dual-Ground Connector, see "Ports and
Connectors” on page 7.
CAUTION!
Service personnel must confirm that the perimeter gasket and door-to-door gaskets are in place when
closing the Prism doors after servicing.

Mounting Plans
The PRU has a low profile design that requires minimal real estate for installation. The basic dimensions
and weights of the PRU are listed in Table
on page
and Table
on page .
The PRU should be mounted on a utility pole, mast, or on a flat surface. A Mounting Bracket ships with
each Remote. )nstallation consists of securing the bracket to the mounting surface wood, concrete, or
steel and then hanging the unit from the bracket. the PRU should only be mounted in a restricted access
location.
Before mounting the PRU, make sure that the following requirements are met.
•
The PRU must

plan has not been prepared, consult with the Technical Support for Wireless Products team for
assistance see "DCCS Global Technical Support on page
must have ready access to the specified AC or DC power source.
)f you mount the PRU in a horizontal position, you must mount it at a slight angle, with the top of the
PRU chassis angled higher than the bottom, which creates a slope that allows water or snow to run
off the PRU chassis. )f it is mounted indoors, no slope required.
)f you mount the PRU in an upside-down horizontal position i.e., a ceiling mount , attach safety
leashes that can support the weight of a fully populated chassis see Table
on page
The site chosen must

Steel Pole Installation Using Steel Banding
CAUTION! Always wear safety goggles when working with metal banding and when using tensioning
tools.
CAUTION! This section describes how to secure a PRU to a steel pole using steel bands. In high
earthquake risk areas, CommScope advises in addition to banding, bolts should be used
redundantly to ensure mechanical mounting capable of surviving severe seismic activity.
Typical areas where this attachment method are suggested are Earthquake Risk Zone 4, per
Bellcore GR-63-CORE, section 4.4.1.1. If you have application specific questions, consult the
Wireless Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for technical assistance (see "DCCS Global
Technical Support” on page 119). For information on bolting, see "Pole Mount Installation
Using Bolts” on page 46.
Stainless-steel bands are used to secure the Mounting Bracket to a metal pole or mast that cannot be
pierced with a screw or bolt. The number of bands to be used is dependent on the configuration of the
PRU as described in Table
on page .
1 Refer to "Mounting Cautions on page
before beginning this process.
2 Locate the Mounting Bracket provided
with the PRU Mounting Kit and obtain
the tools and supplies listed in "Tools
Required for All Mounting Methods on
and "Additional Tools and
page

3 Slide a buckle on the band and secure by
doubling over under buckle, as shown in
the illustration to the right, or as
instructed in manufacturer's
instructions.
CAUTION! The pole must have a
diameter of at least
6 inches.

Bands should pass through each slot of the Mounting Bracket, from top to bottom, ensuring the band
passes over the top of the pins, as shown below, and again through the buckle.
4 Wrap the band around pole once more, passing through the slots in the Mounting Bracket and over
pins, and again through buckle. Double banding is critical to generate maximum radial compression
of banding to pole and Mounting Bracket.
5 Follow specific manufacturer's instructions for tensioning bands to recommended levels.
6 Roll tool over, bending band over itself at exit from the buckle, as shown above, or as instructed in
the manufacturer's instructions to temporarily secure tensioned band.
7 Cut band using tensioning tool as instructed in the manufacturer's instructions.

•
"Option A: (ardened Multi-Fiber Optic Connector on page
"Option B: Fiber Pass-Through Connector on page
"Option C: ProAx Connector Legacy AC-Powered PRUs on page
Option A: Hardened Multi-Fiber Optic Connector
NOTE:
Use the following procedure to install the fiber cables using a Hardened Multi-Fiber Optic
Connector. If the PRU that you are installing has a Fiber Pass-Through Connector, follow the
procedure in "Option B: Fiber Pass-Through Connector” on page 61. If the PRU that you are
installing has a legacy ProAx Connector, follow the procedure in "Option C: ProAx Connector
(Legacy AC-Powered PRUs)” on page 65.
PRUs now have a (ardened Multi-Fiber Optic Connector (MFOC , as shown in the
picture at the right.
All PRUs with the (MFOC configuration require the purchase of a Multi-Fiber Optic
Cable, such as the one shown below, which allows the PRU to interface with the OSP fiber.
