3. Notice: Although the Remote Unit is internally protected against overvoltage, it is

strongly recommended to ground (earth) the antenna cables close to the

repeater’s antenna connectors for protection against atmospheric discharge.

4. Notice: ESD precautions must be observed. Before commencing maintenance

work, use the available grounding (earthing) system to connect ESD protection

measures.

5. Notice: Only suitably qualified personnel are allowed to work on this unit and only

after becoming familiar with all safety notices, installation, operation and

maintenance procedures contained in this manual.

6. Notice: Keep operating instructions within easy reach and make them available

7. Notice: Read and obey all the warning labels attached to the unit. Make sure that

all warning labels are kept in a legible condition. Replace any missing or

damaged labels.

8. Notice: Only license holders for the respective frequency range are allowed to

operate this unit.

9. Notice: Make sure the repeater settings are correct for the intended use (refer to

the manufacturer product information) and regulatory requirements are met. Do

not carry out any modifications or fit any spare parts, which are not sold or

recommended by the manufacturer.

1.4. Compliance

1. 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:

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

2. 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:

]/[

][

4cmmW

cm PD

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).

1. General

Mobile telephone systems transmit signals in two directions between base

transceiver station (BTS) and mobile stations (MS) within the signal coverage area to

carry voice and data traffic.

If weak signal transmissions occur within the coverage area because of indoor

applications, topological conditions or distance from the transmitter, extension of the

transmission range can be achieved by means of an optical distributed antenna

system (DAS).

Office buildings, sports arenas, college campuses, industrial parks, and other areas

of high demand require the specialized capacity boost that an optical DAS can

provide to meet increasing customer demands for voice and data.

An optical DAS contains optical Master Units and a sufficient number of Remote

Units to provide the necessary coverage. The number of the Remote Units depends

on the coverage requirements of the DAS. The Remote Units are connected to the

Master Unit with optical links.

The Master Unit is the connection to the Base Transceiver Stations. The

configuration of a Master Unit depends on the number of the Remote Units and the

frequency range.

RF signals are transported to and from the Remote Units via optical fibers.

2.2. ION-U High Power Remote Units

The ION-U is an optical fiber based DAS system that efficiently takes the outputs of

multiple Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) sectors and converts those RF signals to

optical to send them over fiber optic cables to Remote Units to provide coverage in

indoor and outdoor locations. The system supports both low power and high power

remotes units and SISO and MIMO operation.

The ION-U H 7P/80-85P/17P/19P is a multi-band, multi-operator Remote Unit used

in conjunction with a Master Unit in the ION optical distribution system. This system

transports up to five frequency bands simultaneously (700 MHz, 800/850 MHz,

1700/2100 MHz, and 1900 MHz), providing a cost-effective solution for distributing

capacity from one or more base stations.

It has been specifically tested and optimized for GMSK, EDGE, CDMA, UMTS,

HSPA+, LTE, and other OFDM modulations. Furthermore it is provisioned for future

modulation scheme evolutions.

These Remote Units feature independent downlink and uplink gain adjustments and

an integrated channel power detector for in-band spectrum and PIM analysis and

end-to-end auto leveling.

3. Functional Description

M0200A8C_uc_ION-U_H_7P_80-85P_17P_19P User’s Manual for ION®-U Page 15

The unit utilizes a single fiber to support multiple bands in both the uplink and

downlink directions. WDM (Wave Division Multiplex) filters are integrated in the

optical modules. For the UL, a wavelength within 1546 nm – 1550 nm is used. For

the DL, a wavelength of 1310 ±10 nm is used. The maximum optical output power for

the UL and DL is 6.7 mW.

3. Functional Description

figure 3-1 ION-U High Power RU block diagram

In the Downlink (DL) path, the Remote Unit provides:

• Optical to RF conversion of the input optical signal

• Automatic Gain Control (AGC) of each converted signal to compensate for

optical losses

• RF amplification of the converted RF signal for transmission while maintaining

an excellent signal-to-noise ratio

• RF filtering to reject spurious emissions

In the Uplink (UL) path, the Remote Unit provides:

• RF amplification to boost the signals received by the antennas to maintain an

excellent signal-to-noise ratio

• RF filtering to reject spurious emissions

• Automatic Level Control (ALC) to adjust the RF signal level to meet blocking

requirements

• RF-to-optical conversion of the signal, which is conveyed to the optical port

The Remote Unit can be paired with further EUs (Extension Unit) to provide

additional bands.

e. g. item no. 244377 available from the CommScope e-catalog

- for 4.3-10 type connectors (5 N-m, 44 in lb) with 22 mm (7/8) in

opening

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.

Attention: To minimize passive inter-modulation (PIM) distortion, attention has to be

paid to the physical condition of the connector junctions:

• Do not use connectors that show signs of corrosion on the metal surface.

• Prevent the ingress of water or dirt into the connector.

• Use protective caps for the connectors when not mounted.

• Before mounting clean the connectors with dry compressed air.

• Before mounting clean the mating surfaces of the connector with a lint-free

alcohol-drenched cloth on a wooden or non-metallic item.

• Attach and torque the connectors properly.

• Avoid metallic abrasion when mounting the connectors by only screwing the

connecting nut, but not turning the whole connector.

• Use a torque wrench to fasten the connector, see above.

• Clean the protective caps before mounting for antenna cable replacement.

4.3.12. Optical-fiber cable connection

Main optical system parameters:

Fiber:

• Single mode fiber, type is E9/125 µm

• Attenuation: <0.36 dB / km @ 1310 nm / <0.26 dB / km @ 1550 nm

• Dispersion: <3.5 ps / nm km @ 1310 nm / <18.0 ps / nm km @ 1550 nm

• Fiber-cable connectors LC/APC8°

• The pigtails for the connection between Master Unit and Remote Unit must

have a sufficient length. Protection for the optical fibers must be provided

where the fibers feed into the units.

• The system attenuation of the optical fibers, including the connectors, must

not exceed 10 dB for optimal performance. Up to 20 dB optical loss can be

compensated by the system, but with impact on the performance.

System attenuation and attenuation of optical components must be determined. This

can be achieved by measuring attenuation and reflection with an appropriate

measuring instrument. For pigtails, a total value of <0.4 dB (measured to a reference

plug) can be assumed due to the dead zone of the reflectometer. These

measurements must be made with a sufficient length of optical fiber, at the input and

output of the device which has to be measured.

Fiber-System Installation:

Fiber-cable connectors have to be of the same type (LC/APC8°) as the connectors

used for the unit. The fiber-optic cables are connected to the optical transceiver.

Notice: Angled connectors are not compatible with straight optical connectors; non-

compatibility of connectors will result in permanent damage to both

connectors.

Before connecting the fiber cables, follow the procedure below to ensure optimized

performance. It is important for these procedures to be carried out with care:

Ø Remove fiber-optic protective caps.

Ø Do not bend the fiber-optic cable in a tight radius (<4 cm) as this may cause

cable damage and interrupt transmission.

Ø Using high-grade alcohol and lint-free cotton cleaning swabs, clean the end of

the fiber-optic cable that will be inserted in the optical connectors on the donor

interface box. Use a fiber end-face inspection tool to scan both, the class fiber

and its surrounding area.

Ø Check for dirt on the cladding, chips/pits, dirt on the ferrule, and scratches.

4. Commissioning

Page 40 M0200A8C_uc_ION-U_H_7P_80-85P_17P_19P User’s Manual for ION®-U

Ø Connect the fiber-optic cables by inserting the cable end into the laser

receptacle and aligning the key (on the cable end) with the keyed slot.

Ø Do not use any index-matching gels or fluids of any kind in these connectors.

Gels are intended for laboratory use and attract dirt in the field.

Notice: Care should be taken when connecting and disconnecting fiber-optic cables -

use the connector housing to plug or unplug a fiber. Scratches and dust

significantly affect system performance and may permanently damage the

connector. Always use protective caps on fiber-optic connectors not in use.

Cleaning Procedure for Fiber-Optical Components:

Any contamination in the fiber connection results in additional optical transmission

loss which could cause whole system failure. It is thus recommended that every fiber

connector be inspected and cleaned prior to mating.

The goal is to eliminate any dust or contamination and to provide a clean

environment for the fiber-optic connection.

When you clean fiber components, always complete the following steps carefully:

Caution: Laser radiation. Risk of eye injury in operation. Do not stare into the

beam; do not view it directly or with optical instruments.

1. Turn off the ION system (laser sources) before you inspect fiber connectors.

2. Check the connectors or adapters with a fiberscope before cleaning.

3. If the connector is dirty, clean it with a lint-free wipe (dry cleaning).

4. Inspect the connector.

5. If the connector is still dirty, repeat the dry cleaning technique.

6. Inspect the connector.

7. If the connector is still dirty, clean it with 99% isopropyl alcohol (wet cleaning)

followed immediately with a dry clean in order to ensure no residue is left on

the end face.

8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 until end face is clean.

5. Alarms

5.1. Bite and Alarms

The Built-In Test concept comprises the monitoring of the power supplies, the power

amplifiers, fan units and the optical interface.

All occurring alarms can be checked via software at the Master Unit.

As soon as the software acknowledges a valid alarm, a message is transmitted to the

Master Unit.

If the reason for the alarm has been cleared or if the alarm should continue, a new

alarm message will not be repeated. If there was an interruption of at least five

seconds after acknowledgement, a new alarm message will be generated.

5.2. Troubleshooting

The status of the Remote Unit can be checked via the Master Unit (for details please

refer to the ION-U Site Manager software manual). Locally, the status can be

checked at the LED.

5.3. Status LED Alarms

For local supervision, a status LED on the connector flange of the Remote Unit

provides a visual indication of possible reasons for alarms. The color of the LED

indicates the severity of the alarm. Detailed alarm information is available through the

ION-U software interface.

5.4. External Alarm Inputs and Outputs

The eight-pin EXT ALARM IN/OUT connector supports two external alarm inputs and

two external alarm outputs. Chapter 4.3.8 External alarm In / Out port includes the

connector’s pin-out information and chapter 4.3.3 Connections identifies the

connector’s location.

The alarm outputs are realized with relays (switching capacity max. 60 VDC, max.

2 A, max 60 W). They can be used to monitor alarms with an external alarm

indicator.

F Note: The manufacturer / supplier of this system accepts no liability for

damage caused by equipment connected to external outputs or by

effects from such equipment.

With the external alarm inputs, it is possible to monitor the status of connected

devices, e.g. a UPS, via software. All alarm inputs are normally high (5 V) without

connection. The polarity (high/ low) can be set via the software at the Master Unit (for

details please see the appropriate ION-U software manual).

The device to be monitored must be connected so that the alarm contacts will be

closed in case of an alarm (I max = 5 mA). The alarm inputs are potential-free with

common ground (earth).

Subminiature circular connectors series 712 with eight contacts, which are included

in the alarm kit, can be ordered directly from the Binder Connector Group, the

manufacturer, or indirectly from CommScope.
