1  GENERAL INFORMATION 
The RA-5700 Tri-Band Distributed Antenna System (hereinafter called “RA-5700”) is designed for working 
on 700MHz, 850MHz and 1900MHz networks. It provides flexible and scalable solution of multi-band, 
multi-operator coverage extension applications.It is the ideal solution to both indoor and outdoor as well.  
RA-5700 consists of Master Unit (MU) RA-5700-D and Remote Unit (RU) RA-5700-R.  
The low signal transmission loss of optical fiber is applicable for long distance transmission. RA-5700 can 
support the optical transmission of up to 5dB signal transmission loss. It can extend BTS coverage and 
eliminate blindspot, shadow area and weak-signal area to improve call quality.  
Main feature:  
  High output power with high linearity, which supports multiple carrier operation and ensures the signal 
source is of good quality. 
  Optical fiber transmission with long distance transition at the most path loss of 5dB. 
  Local Operation and Maintenance Terminal (OMT): operating status and parameters can be set or 
monitored by OMT PC locally. And the point-to-point setting and inquiry between MU and RU is 
realizable through the integrated wireline/wireless modem, which makes it convenient for on-site 
configuration.  
  Operation Maintenance Center (OMC): system working parameters and communication configuration 
can be set or inquired remotely through the integrated Ethernet adaptor. If alarm is generated, the 
equipment will dial up to OMC automatically in the mode of GPRS. 
  Build-in Li-ion battery ensures that alarm information can automatically report to OMC in case of 
equipment power failure. 
 RU is designed for all-weather outdoor operation - waterproof, damp-proof and omni-sealed.

On the DL, combined signals as 700MHz, 850MHz and 1900MHz from the BTSs converted into optical 
signals after amplification in the MU.Then the optical signals are transmitted to the RU via optical fiber. 
The Optical TX/RX Module of RU converts the DL optical signals into RF signals. After amplification, the 
signals are transmitted at the MT port to the service antenna.  
On the UL, the signals transmitted by the mobile are converted into optical signals, and then via the UL 
optical fiber. The signals are transmitted to MU, which then converts the optical signals back to RF 
signals.

3.2 SITE PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 
Site Considerations 
The MU can be located indoors to facilitate coupling of BTS signals and power supply connections. The 
ALC range of received BTS signal is -10~10 dBm. Hence, an appropriate coupler must be used according 
to the BTS output power.  
The site consideration for RU is listed below: 
  The distance between the service antenna of RU and coverage area should satisfy line of sight 
requirements for maximum coverage area. 
  The maximum fiber length is 13km, with a maximum path loss of 5dB. 
  The system delay of the optical system must be taken into consideration when there are neighboring 
BTS sites overlapping in coverage. 
Installation Location 
Mounting surface shall be capable of supporting the weight of the equipment. 
In order to avoid electromagnetic interference, a proper mounting location must be selected to minimize 
interference from electromagnetic sources such as large electrical equipment. 
Environmental 
Humidity has an adverse effect on the reliability of the equipment. It is recommended to install the 
equipment in locations having stable temperature and unrestricted air-flow.  
The installation location for the system should be well ventilated. The equipment has been designed to 
operate at the temperature range and humidity level as stated in the product specifications that of  
temperature ranges from 32~104 oF (MU)/ -27~122 oF (RU) and the relative humidity is at most 
85%(MU)/95%(RU). 
Direct day light to the RU should be avoided. If the direct day light temperature exceeds 104oF, a shelter 
should be provided for it.  
Powering  
The power supply unit (PSU) provides power to all modules within the equipment. Depending on the 
product variant, it is recommended that the PSU operates on a dedicated AC circuit breaker or fused 
circuit. 
Grounding Requirement 
Verify that the equipment has been well grounded. This includes antennas and all cables connected to the 
system. Ensure lightning protection for the antennas is properly grounded.

3.5 EQUIPMENT CONNECTION 
3.5.1  GROUNDING CONNECTION 
Ground connection 
To ensure safe operation of the product, a ground (earth) connection is required. For single phase AC 
power source, the product must be grounded by connecting the “earth wire” of the power cord to the 
ground terminal of the AC supply. For operating this product with DC power system (such as rectifiers), 
the product should not be connected to power systems that switch open the return lead because the 
return lead could function as the ground (earth) connection for the equipment.  
Protective Ground Connection 
The enclosure must be grounded securely by connecting a copper wire (CSA 16mm2) to the grounding 
terminal on the equipment/rack, and the other end to a protective ground (i.e. building earth point). An 
internationally acceptable colour code of the ground connection wire is green/yellow.  
Such a ground connection implements the “Protective Ground Connection”, and must be connected to the 
equipment at the designated ground point. In general, do not connect the supply before establishing an 
adequate ground (earth) connection. 
MU Grounding Connection  
Connect the grounding terminal located on the back panel of MU to a protective ground (i.e. building earth 
point).  
RU Grounding Connection 
The equipment must be grounded securely. Connect a copper wire to the grounding terminal on the 
mounting tab/enclosure, and connect the other end to a protective ground (i.e. building earth point). An 
internationally acceptable coloring code of the ground connection wire is green/yellow. 
3.5.2  LI-ION BATTERY CONNECTION 
Li-ion battery is provided with this system to ensure power is supplied to the system monitoring unit and 
MCU and to ensure the alarm message could be sent to OMC effectively in case of mains power failure. 
Caution:  Be careful of the risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used 
batteries according to the instructions.

5  TROUBLESHOOTING 
Following installation and commissioning, occasional operation tasks to handle alarms may be required: 
Alarm condition 
Diagnosis 
DL Input Power Overload alarm  
Eliminate alarm by correct setting of DL Input Power Overload threshold. If the setting is OK but alarm 
persists, the DL input power might be higher than the threshold. Increase the attenuator to reduce the 
input power or replace the coupler with a new one of high coupling effect. Check the cable connection of 
the DT port to the BTS. 
External Alarm  
Check to make sure if the external device connected is working normally 
Li-ion Battery Fault Alarm 
Replace the faulty modules and return it to the factory for repair. 
Over- Temperature alarm 
Eliminate alarm by correct setting of temperature threshold, including normal and severe. If alarm can not 
be cleared, apply climatic protection to the equipment. 
Optical TX Alarm 
The optical TX part of Optical TX/RX Module is faulty. Check and replace the faulty module and return it to 
the factory for repair.  
Optical RX Alarm 
The optical power at the RX port of the Optical TX/RX Module is lower than the minimum requirement, 
which is resulted by the faulty of the optical TX part of Optical TX/RX Module or damaged optical fiber link. 
If so, replace the optical TX module. If not, check the working status of the optical fiber to eliminate the 
alarm. 
Alarm condition 
Diagnosis 
AC Power Failure Alarm/ DC 
Power Fault Alarm 
Check AC power cable and verify AC mains supply is normal. 
During Power Fault alarm, DC power supply has no output. Check if 
DC output power is overloaded or short-circuited. The PSU could be 
faulty. 
Li-ion Battery Fault Alarm 
Check the connection between battery and power supply cable. Or 
replace the faulty modules and return it to the factory for repair. 
External Alarm  
Check to make sure if the external device connected is working 
normally 
Over- Temperature alarm 
Eliminate alarm by correct setting of temperature threshold, if alarm 
can not be cleared, apply climatic protection to the system under 
severe environment. 
Door Open Alarm 
Check whether the enclosure door is closed. 
ALC Alarm 
Check to see if PA alarm or DL input power overload alarm occur 
via OMT/OMC. If so, adjust DL input power or replace a new PA. 
Shutdown Alarm 
Alarm occurs when automatically shut off the system. Turn on the 
system and check if the DL output power overload alarm persists, 
adjust the DL output power overload threshold to a proper value. 
Manual Shutdown Alarm  
Alarm occurs when manually shut off the system. Turn on the 
system to eliminate the alarm. 
Module Software Alarm  
Alarm occurs when the module software failed. Reboot the system 
or update the software.  
Optical TX Alarm 
The optical power at the TX port of the Optical TX/RX Module is 
lower than the minimum requirement, which is resulted by the faulty 
of the optical TX part of Optical TX/RX Module or damaged optical 
fiber link. If so, replace the optical TX/RX module. If not, check the 
working status of the optical fiber to eliminate the alarm.  
Optical RX Alarm 
The optical RX part of Optical TX/RX Module is faulty. Check and 
replace the faulty module and return it to the factory for repair. 
UL LNA, DL PA alarms  
Check power and signal connections of respective modules. If the 
power and signal wire connections are OK, then the respective 
modules may be faulty. Replace the faulty modules and return it to 
the factory for repair. 
Master/Slave Unit Link Alarm  
The communication between the MU and RU is abnormal. Check 
the working status of Optical TX/RX Module and FSK.   
DL Input Power Overload 
Alarm  
Eliminate alarm by correct setting of DL Input Power Overload 
threshold. If the setting is OK but alarm persists, the DL input power 
might be higher than the threshold. Decrease the gain to reduce the 
input power or replace the coupler with a new one of high coupling 
effect.  
DL Output Power Overload 
Alarm 
Eliminate alarm by correct setting of DL Output Power Overload 
threshold. If the setting is OK but alarm persists, the DL output 
power might be higher than the threshold. Decrease the gain to 
reduce the output power.
