1.2. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
1.2.1. General
Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.3.
1. Warning: This unit contains dangerous voltages. Loss of life, severe personal injury, or property
damage can be the result if the instructions contained in this manual are not followed.
2. Caution: It is compulsory to ground (earth) the unit before connecting the power supply. A
grounding bolt is provided on the cabinet to connect the ground-bonding cable.
3. Caution: Although the remote unit is internally protected against overvoltage, it is strongly
recommended to ground (earth) the antenna cables close to the antenna connectors of the remote unit
for protection against atmospheric discharge. In areas with strong lightning, it is strongly
recommended to install additional lightning protection.
4. Caution: If the mains connector of the remote unit is not easily accessible, a disconnect device in
the mains power circuit must be provided within easy reach.
5. Caution: Before connecting or disconnecting the mains connector at the remote unit, ensure that
mains power supply is disconnected.
6. Caution: Make sure that an appropriate circuit breaker acting as a disconnect device (as required by
IEC/EN60950-1) and an overcurrent limiting device are connected between mains power and the
Remote Unit.
7. Caution: A connection of the mains supply to a power socket requires the power socket to be nearby
the remote unit.
8. Caution: Incorrectly wired connections can destroy electrical and electronic components.
9. Caution: To avoid corrosion at the connectors caused by electrochemical processes, the material of
the cable connectors must not cause a higher potential difference than 0.6 V (see electrochemical
contact series).
10. Note: Use an appropriate torque wrench to tighten the 7/16 DIN-type (1 ¼ -inch opening) antenna
connectors to a coupling torque of 25 N-m / 19 ft lb. Torque wrench item no. 244377, available from
the CommScope e-catalog, is recommended. Do NOT use your hands or any other tool (e. g. a pair
of pliers)! This might cause damage to the connector and lead to a malfunction of the Remote Unit
or increased PIM.
11. Caution: For unstabilized electric networks, which frequently generate spikes, the use of a voltage
limiting device is advised.
12. Caution: The unit complies with the surge requirement according to EN 61000-4-5 (fine
protection); however, installation of an additional medium (via local supply connection) and/or
coarse protection (external surge protection) is recommended depending on the individual
application in order to avoid damage caused by overcurrent.
13. Caution: Observe the labels on the front panels before connecting or disconnecting any cables.
1.3. HEALTH AND SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Danger: Obey all general and regional installation and safety regulations relating to work on high

cm PD
P
D
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
o F (MHz) / 1500 for frequencies from 300MHz to 1500MHz
o 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).
12. Warning: For installations which have to comply with Europe an EN50385 exposure compliance
requirements, the following Power Density limits/guidelines (mW/cm²) according to ICNIRP are
valid:
o 0.2 for frequencies from 10 MHz to 400 MHz
o F (MHz) / 2000 for frequencies from 400 MHz to 2 GHz
o 1 for frequencies from 2 GHz to 300 GHz
13. Caution: Keep operating instructions within easy reach and make them available to all users.
14. Caution: Corresponding local particularities and regulations must be observed. For national
deviations, please refer to the respective documents included in the manual CD that is delivered with
