PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Spectrum supports up to 8 bands in a single system. Each antenna location supports those bands in modular,
group pairings. Each location includes a Main Remote Access Unit (MRAU) that can power up to three additional
Secondary RAUs (SRAUs), each of which support two power amplifier pairs for a total of eight amplifiers. MRAUs
and SRAUs are grouped logically based on common service provider groupings and include: 850/1900, 700/700
MIMO, 800/900 SMR, 700 SISO/AWS, and so forth (see Table 1 on page 3). Adding frequency is as simple as
plugging in an SRAU to the existing MRAU (see Table 3 on page 19 through Table 5 on page 21 in “Specifications”).
RAUs are available in two different output power options: Standard and High Power. These can be “mixed and
matched” on a system to meet the specific needs of a venue.
Since Spectrum can be configured to support as many as four cascaded runs of sixteen total Expansion Module
Groups, the system configuration possibilities are seemingly endless and can scale to single systems that include
as many as 128 MRAU locations, with each of those locations supporting between one and eight RF bands. And
each of those band locations offers 26 dBm (P1dB) or 31 dBm (P1dB) of output power based on selecting
Standard or High Power (HP) RAUs.
The system may be scaled to add new bands or RAU location sites as-needed and offers great service flexibility
and performance relative to shared, wide-band amplifier systems. Each service provider may control their band
of interest and enjoy the predictability in consistent service at each RAU location independent of what other
operators are doing or the length the signal travels to the service area.
The RAUs are typically mounted above ceiling tiles or in out-of-sight locations as close as possible to the service
area.

INSTALL THE RAUS AND ANTENNAS
Follow the steps in the order provided to install the RAUs and antennas.
Mount the RAUs and Antennas
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! This system is a RF Transmitter and continuously emits RF energy. Maintain a minimum 8-inch (20 cm) clearance
from the antenna while the system is operating. Whenever possible, shut down the RAN before servicing the
antenna.
NOTE: RAUs are suitable for use in environmental air space in accordance with Section 300-22(c) of the National Electrical
Code, and Sections 2-128, 12-010(3) and 12-100 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, CSA C22.1.
CAUTION! Install RAUs in indoor locations only. Do not connect an antenna installed in an outdoor location to a RAU, unless
it is in an approved AOC weatherproof NEMA4 housing.
CAUTION! Attach all RAUs securely to a stationary object (that is, a wall, pole, or ceiling brackets). To mount a RAU securely
to a wall, ceiling bracket, or pole, use #6 diameter fasteners in the four slotted mounting holes.
CAUTION! Do the following to maintain proper ventilation:
Keep at least 76 mm (3-inch) clearance around the RAU.
Do not stack RAUs on top of each other.
Always mount the RAU with the solid face (containing the mounting holes) against the mounting surface.
NOTE: You can place the RAU, without its fastening hardware, on a flat surface, such as a shelf, desk, cabinet, or any other
horizontal surface that allows stable placement, with the mounting base facing down to the mounting surface.
CAUTION! If installing the RAU on a flat surface, the surface must be able to hold a minimum 7-pound load securely.
Do the following, in the order presented, to mount the RAUs and antennas:
1Mount all MRAU and SRAUs in the locations marked on the floor plans.
2Install the passive antennas according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
NOTE: It is common practice to install passive antennas below the ceiling. If you install a passive antenna above the
ceiling, when estimating the antenna coverage area, account for additional loss due to the ceiling material.

TECP-77-222 Issue 3 300001759666 Rev C March 2015 ©2015 TE Connectivity
3Connect a passive multi-band antenna to the N connector on each RAU using coaxial cable with the least
amount of loss possible. (See “Omni Antenna Specifications” on page 27 for information on the Omni Antenna
ports.)

Connect the IFEU to the MRAU
NOTE: The IFEU should be powered up before starting this procedure; see the InterReach Spectrum Expansion Module
Group Installation Guide (TECP-77-167).
4Follow these rules for the CATV cables when connecting the IFEU to the MRAU:
The FWD and REV cables should be close to the same length.
The FWD and REV cables should be the same cable type (both RG6 or both RG11).
A pair of CATV cables connects each MRAU to the IFEU. The IFEU REV Module IF IN port and the IFEU
FWD Module IF OUT port must match. For example, if IFEU REV Module IF IN Port 3 is used, use IFEU
FWD Module IF OUT Port 3.
Refer to “75-Ohm CATV Cable Requirements and Specifications” on page 22 for information on maximum
RG-6 or RG-11 CATV cable lengths.
5Test the cable termination for each CATV cable before installing it.

6Connect F connector CATV cables on the IFEU and MRAU, in the order given below.
If the LEDs do not perform as described in this procedure, refer to “MRAU LEDs” on page 8.
aConnect a CATV cable from one of the IFEU FWD Module IF OUT connectors (1 - 8) to the MRAU FWD IF
IN connector.
bConfirm that the MRAU FWD IF IN LED is yellow, which indicates a correct physical connection.
cConnect a CATV cable from the IFEU REV Module IF IN connector (1 - 8) to the MRAU REV IF OUT
connector, making sure that you pair the port used to the same port number selected in Step 6a.
If the connection is correct, the MRAU powers up and the MRAU FWD IF IN LED turns green.

8Test the cable termination for each CATV cable before installing it.
9Connect F connector CATV cables from the MRAU to an SRAU, in the order given below. If the LEDs do not
perform as described in this procedure, refer to “SRAU LEDs” on page 10.
aConnect a CATV cable from an MRAU FWD SECONDARY PORT (1, 2, or 3) F connector to the SRAU
SECONDARY FWD F connector.
bConfirm that the SRAU SECONDARY FWD LED is yellow, which indicates a correct physical connection.
cConnect a CATV cable from an MRAU REV SECONDARY PORT (1, 2, or 3) F connector to the SRAU
SECONDARY REV F connector, matching the same port number selected in Step 9a. That is, if in Step 9a
you connected an F connector to the MRAU FWD SECONDARY PORT 1, the paired CATV cable must
connect to the MRAU REV SECONDARY PORT 1.
If the connection is correct, the SRAU powers up and the SRAU SECONDARY FWD LED turns green.

System Gain Examples
System Gain is the addition of the RF DART gain + the RAU gain. This section provides examples of system gain,
based on the following specifications:
1All Standard and High Power (HP) MRAUs and SRAUs have 0 db of RX gain
2Standard MRAU and SRAUs have 0 dB of TX gain
3The HP MRAU adds 3 dB of TX gain on its bands and all bands of Standard and HP SRAUs connected to it
4HP MRAUs and HP SRAUs add an additional 5 dB of TX gain on the 1900, 2100, and 2600 RF bands
Example A: All RAUs RX Configuration
RX Gain 850 MHz band: -1 to 30 dB (RF DART gain) + 0 dB (Standard MRAU and SRAU gain) = -1 to 30 dB
Example B: Low Power Level Configuration: SPT-M1-8519-1 + SPT-S2-70AWS-1-SISO
TX Gain 850 MHz band: 9 to 40 dB (RF DART gain) + 0 dB (Standard MRAU gain) = 9 to 40 dB
TX Gain 1900 MHz band: 9 to 40 dB (RF DART gain) +0 dB (Standard MRAU gain) = 9 to 40 dB
TX Gain 700 MHz band: 9 to 40 dB (RF DART gain) + 0 dB (Standard SRAU with Standard MRAU gain) = 9 to 40 dB
TX Gain 2100 MHz band: 9 to 40 dB (RF DART gain) + 0 dB (Standard SRAU with Standard MRAU gain) = 9 to 40

Unauthorized use may result in Significant forfeiture penalties, including penalties in excess of $100,000 for each continuing
violation.
Industry Canada (IC)
This equipment complies with the applicable sections of RSS-131- Zone Enhancers for the Land Mobile Service. 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: The U. S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has developed guidelines for evaluation of human exposure
to RF emissions. The guidelines incorporate limits for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) for power density of
transmitter operating at frequencies between 300 kHz and 100 GHz. Limits have been set for portable, mobile, and
fixed equipment. TE Connectivity products fall in the category of fixed equipment; products intended to be
permanently secured and exposures are evaluated for distances greater than 40cm (15.75”). Portable devices fall
into exposures of less than 20cm, where SAR evaluations are used.
Antenna gain is restricted to 1.5 W ERP (2.49 W EIRP) in order to satisfy RF exposure compliance requirements.
If higher than 1.5 W ERP, routine MPE evaluation is needed. The antennas should be installed to provide at
least 40cm from all persons to satisfy MPE requirements of FCC Part 2, 2.1091.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.
L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2)
l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en
compromettre le fonctionnement.
The device meets the exemption from the routine evaluation limits in section 2.5 of RSS 102 and compliance with RSS-102
RF exposure, users can obtain Canadian information on RF exposure and compliance.
Le dispositif rencontre l'exemption des limites courantes d'évaluation dans la section 2.5 de RSS 102 et la conformité à
l'exposition de RSS-102 rf, utilisateurs peut obtenir l'information canadienne sur l'exposition et la conformité de rf.
