Install the RF Module(s)
INSTALL
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. Observe all cautions and warnings listed in "Safety Precautions for RF Modules” on page 30.
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.
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.
UNPACK AND INSPECT THE RF MODULE
Inspect the exterior of the shipping container(s) for evidence of rough handling that may have damaged the
components in the container.
Unpack each container while carefully checking the contents for damage and verify with the packing slip.
If damage is found or parts are missing, file a claim with the commercial carrier and notify CommScope
Customer Service (see "DCCS Global Technical Support” on page 123). Save the damaged cartons for
inspection by the carrier.
Save all shipping containers for use if the equipment requires shipment at a future date.
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 CommScope for assistance
(see "DCCS Global Technical Support” on page 123 for contact information).
If the thermal-interface material is damaged, the installation and use of the RF Module may void the warranty
of the RF Module.

DUAL-BAY MODULES ONLY—REMOVE THE MODULE BAY SHELF
FOR DUAL-BAY RF MODULES ONLY.
If you are installing a Dual-Bay RF Module, you
must remove a module bay shelf from the PRU
chassis to accommodate the module’s size. (For
further information, see Table 16 on page 27.)
Remove the shelf as appropriate for the RF
Module:
•
•
When installing in the A and B Bays, remove
the Module B Bay Shelf.
When installing in the C and D Bays, remove
Module D Bay Shelf.
Remove Module D Shelf for

Position the cables so that they are under the right edge of the RF Module, pointing up.
Follow the rules listed in "Understanding RF Cable Rules” on page 26.
Connect the RF Module cables, in the order shown below. As you work, refer to the graphic that corresponds
to the RF Module being installed into a single bay of the PRU: for a Single-Bay RF Module, refer to Figure 31
on page 103, and for an HDM RF Module, refer to Figure 32 on page 104 and Table 25 on page 105.
Connect the MOD N TX0/RX0 cable to the RF Module (the RF cables and connectors are referred to as
MOD N TX0/RX0 where N equals A, B, C, or D).
Insert the N-Style Plug of the MOD N TX0/RX0 cable into the TX0/RX0 N-Style Jack of the RF Module.
ii
Turn the coupling nut of the plug clockwise to thread onto the jack and finger-tighten.
iii Torque coupling nut to 8 ±1 in-lbs to ensure full connection.
Insufficient torque applied to RF Module connections can result in elevated insertion/return loss and higher
than normal VSWR reported by the system.
Connect the MOD N TX1/RX1 cable to the RF Module (the RF cables and connectors are referred to as
MOD N TX1/RX1 where N equals B, C, or D).
If a TX1/RX1 RF Module connection is available, insert the N-Style Plug of the MOD N TX1/RX1 cable
into the TX1/RX1 N-Style Jack of the RF Module. If RF Module connection is not available, constrain
the MOD N TX1/RX1 cable to accompanying cables using a tie wrap so it cannot be pinched or prevent
the Remote Unit door from closing.

into consideration when planning the installation:
•
The Notch Filter and its mounting brackets requires 19 inches of vertical space above the PRU (see Figure 35
on page 115 and Figure 36 on page 116).
•
The Notch Filter weighs 18 pounds; make sure the installation site can bear this additional weight.
•

Fan Module Maintenance
FAN MODULE MAINTENANCE
Continuous airflow to cool the PRU is provided by the Fan Module that is mounted on the top of the PRU chassis.
The cooling fans pull the heated air up from the chassis. The heated air is then exhausted through the vent
openings at the top of the chassis. This constant movement of air requires that the Fan Module be placed on a
maintenance schedule.
ANNUAL FAN CHECKUP
A mechanical hazard exists due to rotating fan blades. Keep hands and fingers away from fan blades during
removal of Fan Module. Use only the designated pull areas to disengage the fan tray. Allow adequate time for
fans to spin down prior to removal.
Check the Fan Module on an annual basis. Inspect the intake and exhaust vents for obstructions and/or debris. If
obstructions and/or debris is observed, remove from exterior of system as necessary.
POTENTIAL FAN ALARMS
Check the Fan Module should any one of the following alarms occur:
•
Fan Under Speed (fwuRmtFanUnderSpeedFault)
•
Temperature High (fwuRmtOverTempFault)
•
DART Temperature High (fwuRmtDARTOverTempFault)
•
LPA Over Temperature (fwuRmtLPAHighTempFault)
REPLACING THE FAN MODULE
The rotating fan blades create a hazardous environment. Keep hands and fingers away from the fan blades.
Use only the designated pull areas to disengage the Fan Tray. Allow adequate time for fans to spin down prior
to removal.
Low voltage electrical shock hazard!
•
Do not touch bare conductors or other potentially energized parts.
•
Use appropriate safety equipment approved for use on electrical installations.
•
Ensure fan module exterior of electrical connector and immediate area are clean and dry prior to
disconnection.
•
Do not perform service during or while conditions of impending rain or snow are observed.
You do not need to disconnect the power cabling from the Prism Remote Unit to replace the Fan Module.
If the PRU has an Enhanced Fan Shroud, refer to the FlexWave Prism Remote Unit Enhanced Fan Shroud
Installation Guide for information on how to replace the Fan Module.

Fan Module Maintenance
Use the following procedure to remove and replace the PRU Fan Module:
Read all instructions and procedures of this section prior to beginning work to replace Fan Module.
Order a Prism Remote Unit Fan Replacement Kit, catalog number FWP-RUFAN001.
Notify the NOC or alarm monitoring system operator that the Fan Module is being replaced, which will
generate fan and power alarms for the affected PRU.
Power down the PRU and wait until the fans spin down to a stop.
Put on an ESD wrist strap and ensure that it makes maximum contact with bare skin throughout this
procedure. ESD grounding straps are available with banana plugs, metal spring clips, or alligator clips. To
ensure adequate grounding, the ESD wrist strap should be connected to any bare metal surface of the PRU
chassis, or to the Dual-Ground Connector at the bottom of the unit. For further information on the
Dual-Ground Connector, see "Ports and Connectors” on page 7.
It may be necessary to scrape a small section of the coating off the Prism Remote Unit chassis to ensure
connection to a bare metal surface.
Loosen the two screws that secure the Fan Module Cover
at the top of the PRU chassis to the front of the enclosure
as shown in the graphic to the right.
Open the fan cover by rotating it up and back on its
hinges.
Do the following before you lift the Fan Module out of the
PRU chassis:
Inspect, clean and dry the top surface surrounding
the fan connector.
Loosen the two captive screws that secure the Fan
Module to the PRU chassis.
Disconnect the Fan Module power cable by rotating
its coupling nut counter-clockwise until the
receptacle can be lifted off its bulkhead plug.

extend through their designated slots in the sheet metal frame, and then slide Fan Module back
approximately 1/4-inch to engage its keyhole rivets.
11
Align and then insert the Fan Module’s two captive screws with nuts on the PRU; ensure correct thread
engagement, and then tighten the Fan Module’s captive screws.
12
Insert the Fan Module power cable so that the cable is directed to the left of the connector. Use the key to align
the cable correctly. Do not use excessive force to mate the receptacle to the plug.
Failure to align the Fan Module power cable correctly may cause damage to the PRU power connectors, which
could result in needing to replace the PRU chassis.
13
Use your fingers to turn the coupling nut on the power cable approximately 2-1/2 revolutions, and then
tighten the coupling nut another 1/4 revolution.
14
Tighten the two captive screws that secure the Fan Module to the chassis; torque the screws to 10 IN-LBS ±1
IN-LB.
15
Close the Fan Module cover and tighten its two captive screws; torque the screws to 10 IN-LBS ±1 IN-LB.
