PRISM REMOTE UNITS
FlexWave PRUs control RF emissions, interface with the FlexWave Prism Host Unit II 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 Host 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 Host.
•
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 8 and "DC-Powered Quad-Bay PRU” on page 9 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. If 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.

RF MODULES
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 Host 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 Host
•
amplify the Digital RF signal
•
provide signal filtering.
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:
•
one Classic DART or one Single SuperDART
•
two Classic DARTs (i.e., the 6.5W 800/900 ESMR Module, Non-Diversity, Classic)
•
two Classic DARTs—Diversity
•
two Single SuperDARTs—Diversity
•
one Dual SuperDART
•
one or two sets of Tx and Rx Boards (HDM).
Each RF Module will have up to two 6-timeslot DARTs or one 12-timeslot DART per RF Module.
The DART type determines the maximum number of links, where there can be up to eight Classic DARTs or Single
SuperDARTs that support 35 MHz each, or up to 4 Dual SuperDARTs that support up to 75MHz each.

Overview of RF Modules for Prism Remote Units
Prism supports the DART Module types listed below.
•
Classic DARTs are 6-timeslot DARTs that support up to 35 MHz contiguous bandwidth (see Table 9).
•
Single SuperDARTs are 6-timeslot DARTs that support two non-contiguous bands in the entire frequency
range of the DART, but cannot exceed 35 MHz total RF bandwidth (see Table 10).
•
Dual SuperDARTs are 12-timeslot DARTs that support up to 75 MHz (see Table 11 on page 14).
ISED PCS 20 dB nominal bandwidth is less than 61.5 MHz.
ISED AWS 20 dB nominal bandwidth is less than 47.2 MHz.

Overview of RF Modules for Prism Remote Units
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 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 Module
The 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.
Cables
Always 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.

both LPAs at the same time.
Should your system experience an LPA problem, refer to Table 15 to ensure that you apply new settings or
troubleshoot the correct RF Module.
The Legacy Dual-Bay 40W RF Module occupies two bays in a PRU. Figure 8 on page 25 shows the main
components in a PRU enclosure, with a Legacy 40W RF Module occupying Bays A and B. The controlling DART
will always be in the upper bay (B or D), and the second LPA is always in the lower bay (A or C).

Configuring the System with RF
UNDERSTANDING RF CABLE RULES
To avoid the risk of equipment damage, ensure that the AC/DC Power switch to the PRU chassis and all RF
Module DC power switches are in their OFF position before connecting or disconnecting coaxial cables;
otherwise equipment damage may occur.
•
•
•
When installing a Diversity, MIMO or Dual-Band RF Module, both RF cables labeled MOD N TX0/RX0 and
MOD N TX1/RX1 shall be connected to the N-Style connections of the RF Module. Note that older labeling
schemes used “PRI” and “DIV”. To match old labeling schemes to current labeling:
Old Label
New Label
PRI
TX0/RX0
DIV
TX1/RX1
When installing a Non-Diversity or SISO RF Module, or an SMR 800/900 Dual-Band Dual-Bay RF Module:
–
Connect the MOD N TX0/RX0 cable to the single available N-Style RF Connection of the RF Module.
–
Constrain the MOD N TX1/RX1 cable with the existing cables using a tie wrap or similarly accepted
fastener so it cannot be pinched or prevent the Remote Unit door from closing. Do not cut or attempt to
otherwise remove this RF Cable.
RF cables are hand-malleable; however, cables must adhere to a minimum bend radius of 1-inch from the
outlet of the integrated cable guide to the respective N-Style RF connection on the RF Module.
RF Module Cables and Supported Bay Use for Single-Card, Dual-Card,
and HDM RF Modules
The RF cable and connector labels correspond to the RF Module bays in the Remote Unit chassis, where MOD A
is the bottom bay and MOD D is the top bay.
•
•
The cables and connectors have corresponding labels as shown in Table 16 on page 27 for Single-Card,
Dual-Card, and HDM RF Modules. For Dual-Bay installations, the RF cables and connectors are labeled as
MOD N TX0/RX0 and MOD N TX1/RX1, where N refers to the top bay of the double-bay installation. For
example:
–
For a Dual-Bay installation in a Quad-Bay chassis in which the RF Module is installed in the Bay D and Bay
C combination, the RF cables and connectors are labeled as MOD D TX0/RX0 and MOD D TX1/RX1.
–
For a Dual-Bay installation in a Tri-Bay chassis in which the RF Module is installed in the Bay B and Bay
A combination, the RF cables and connectors are labeled as MOD B TX0/RX0 and MOD B TX1/RX1.
Table 16 on page 27 also shows which RF Module type can be installed in which PRU bay or bay combination.

S AFELY W ORKING WITH F LEX W AVE H ARDWARE
The following sections provide important information that you should read and know before working with any
FlexWave hardware. Observe all cautions and warnings listed in this section.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR PRISM REMOTE UNITS
This equipment uses a Class 1 Laser per 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.
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.
Do not power on the Prism Remote Unit chassis until instructed to do so in the installation procedures
included in this installation guide.
This is restricted access equipment and only qualified service personnel should open, service, or operate this
equipment using appropriate tools.
Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when installing or using
electrically-powered equipment. Do not perform service on the Prism Remote Unit or its components in a wet
location, if it is raining or snowing, or if impending rain or snow has been observed.
Exterior surfaces of the Prism Remote Unit may be hot. Use caution during servicing.
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.
Use appropriate lifting equipment when unpacking, moving or installing the Fullband Remote Unit. Do not
stand under the Fullband Remote Unit as it is hoisted into position for installation. A failure of the lifting
equipment could result in serious personal injury.
The location in which the Remote Unit is installed (utility pole, mast, or flat surface) must be able to support
the weight of a fully-populated Fullband Remote Unit; see Table 19 on page 35.
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).
Service personnel must confirm that the perimeter gasket and door-to-door gaskets are in place when closing
the Remote Unit doors after servicing.

MOUNTING CAUTIONS
Observe the following cautions when installing the Mounting Bracket and when hanging a PRU on the bracket.
Use appropriate lifting equipment when unpacking, moving or installing the Prism Remote Unit. Do not stand
under the Prism Remote Unit as it is being hoisted into position for installation. A failure of the lifting
equipment could result in serious personal injury.
The pole must be structurally sound and able to support the weight of the unit being installed as listed in
Table 20 on page 35.
The hardware used to package the PRU for shipment is not intended for Prism Remote Unit installations and
should be kept with the Prism Remote Unit packaging. Do not use the shipping hardware when mounting a
Prism Remote Unit.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RF MODULES
This equipment uses a Class 1 Laser per 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

clearance from the antenna while the system is operating. Wherever possible, shut down the RAN before
servicing the antenna.
This is restricted access equipment and only qualified service personnel should service and operate this
equipment using appropriate tools.
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.
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).
Exterior surfaces of the Prism Remote Unit may be hot. Use caution during servicing.
Service personnel must confirm that the perimeter gasket and door-to-door gaskets are in place when closing

GUARD AGAINST DAMAGE FROM ELECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGE
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.
Place Prism RF Modules in anti-static packing material when transporting or storing them.
COMPLIANCE
Notice: For installations, which have to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, the antenna selection
and installation must be completed in a way to ensure compliance with those FCC requirements. Depending
on the RF frequency, rated output power, antenna gain, and the loss between the repeater and antenna, the
minimum distance D to be maintained between the antenna location and human beings is calculated
according to this formula:
D[ cm ] =
P[ mW ]
4 ∗ π ∗ PD[ mW / cm 2 ]
where
•
P (mW) is the radiated power at the antenna, i.e. the max. rated repeater output power in addition to the
antenna gain minus the loss between the repeater and the antenna.
•
PD (mW/cm²) is the allowed Power Density limit acc. to 47 CFR 1.1310 (B) for general population /
uncontrolled exposures which is
–
f (MHz) / 1500 for frequencies from 300MHz to 1500MHz
–
1 for frequencies from 1500MHz to 100,000MHz
RF exposure compliance may need to be addressed at the time of licensing, as required by the responsible
FCC Bureau(s), including antenna co-location requirements of 1.1307(b)(3).
Notice: For installations which have to comply with European EN50385 exposure compliance requirements,
the following Power Density limits/guidelines (mW/cm²) according to ICNIRP are valid:
•
0.2 for frequencies from 10 MHz to 400 MHz
•
F (MHz) / 2000 for frequencies from 400 MHz to 2 GHz
•
1 for frequencies from 2 GHz to 300 GHz
Notice: Installation of this equipment is in full responsibility of the installer, who has also the responsibility,
that cables and couplers are calculated into the maximum gain of the antennas, so that this value, which is
filed in the FCC Grant and can be requested from the FCC data base, is not exceeded. The industrial boosters
are shipped only as a naked booster without any installation devices or antennas as it needs for professional
installation.
