Introduction
This high performance Analog RF Fiber Optic Transmission Repeater System
converts RF signals into intensity modulated light to be carried through standard
single mode optical fiber to an Optical Receiver. The Receiver converts the
modulated light back to the original RF signal. Fiber-Span uses high performance
optical components and patented technology to ensure maximum dynamic range.
Warnings
Warning: Invisible radiation exits from areas labeled “Aperture”
AC power is used to supply power up the system modules. Use precautions to
prevent electrical shock hazards. Always terminate the RF connections before
applying power to the unit.

Product overview
The fiber optic repeater system is designed to transport and distribute Public Safety
& Private Land-Mobile Radio Frequencies signals through fiber optic medium. The
Downlink has high Power to drive Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS). The Uplink
has Low Noise figure to receive low signals over the air antenna.
The purpose for this system is to expand radio coverage for an In-Building System
which is between the 806-824 MHz Uplink and 851-869 MHz MHz Downlink range.
This is done by sending and receiving the RF signals from the basestation and
distributing the radio signals over fiber, to a remote fiber optic transceiver to
interface to a remote antenna. The system design is for single or up to 32 remote
optical repeaters.
The FS31LM-01-LMC is a subrack fiber optic transceiver, which can contain from
one to four transceivers. These transceivers provide the optical connections to the
FS31HM-85-C-18-65 Remote Repeater. The FS31LM-01-LMC is AC powered and
offers transceiver alarm LED indicators, Dry contact (NO) alarm terminals, and RF
gain control for each receiver for uplink signals.
The FS31HM-85-C-18-65 interfaces with the fibers from the FS31LM-01-LMC and
connects the remote antenna to a single RF port. The FS31HM-85-C-18-65 is AC
powered and offers Dry contact (NO) alarm terminals for the transceiver, door open,
and PA alarms.

Installation Procedure
General
All unused RF Terminals must be terminated with a 50 Ohm load. All unused Optical
Terminals must be protected using dust cover cap. When installing fiber optic cables,
remove dust covers, clean optical connector with optical grade alcohol, align FC/APC
connector KEY and hand tighten. Do not over tighten.

The FS31LM-01-LMC Fiber Transceiver Unit (FTU) is a 19” standard 1U subrack.
The FTU requires AC Power (90 to 220 VAC, 50-60 Hz). The AC interface is a
standard IEC Power socket. A US 120V AC Line Cord is supplied with each FTU.
Mount Fiber Transceiver Unit in close proximity to the BSU interfaces to minimize
cable lengths.
Make all RF connections and terminate all unused RF connections before applying
AC Power.

Figure 2. Fiber Transceiver Unit User Alarms and Control Interface (FS31LM-01LMC)
The user alarms and controls are organized by link type. The Optical in / RF out section is
for the uplink optical receivers and the RF in / Optical out section if for the downlink optical
transmitters. For uplink optical receivers, each receiver has a gain control that is accessed
using a small standard screwdriver.
The Opt in Alarm interface uses a wire contact header (supplied) that will plug into
the Opt in Alarm sockets. Connection of alarm wires to the wire contact header
requires a small standard flathead screwdriver. The Optical In alarm LED on the
right side of the alarm header indicates an alarm condition for each individual uplink
optical receiver.
For Downlink optical transmitters, each Opt in Alarm interface uses a wire contact
header (supplied) that will plug into the Opt in Alarm sockets. Connection of alarm
wires to the wire contact header requires a small standard screwdriver. The alarm
LED on the right side of the alarm header indicates an alarm condition for each
individual downlink optical transmitter.
Connect fiber optic cables last. Use fiber optic connector cleaning precautions to
get the highest performance from the system. Do not make optical connector tip
contact with any hard surface. Be sure the FC/APC KEY is aligned before
tightening. Do not over tighten.

The BDA enclosure is IP65 rated for outdoor use. The BDA is to be mounted
ONLY IN UPRIGHT POSITION (See Figure 4). When installing cable conduits, use
standard practices to keep enclosure weatherproof. The BDA requires AC Power
(90 to 220 VAC, 50-60 Hz). The AC interface requires the power wires to have a
standard ¼” fork terminal termination for HOT (H), Neutral (N), and Ground
connections. Connect BDA to earth ground using Earth Ground Lug on the
external side of BDA. Power amplifier Automatic Level Control (ALC) switch must
be in Auto Mode.
Make all RF connections and terminate all unused RF connections before applying
AC Power.
The Alarm interface requires the wire connections to have a standard ¼” fork
terminal terminations. Connect terminals as indicated in figure 5. Do not over
tighten terminals.

Attenuator is for high power RF measurements. The attenuator is not required for
low power measurements ( about 0 dBm RF Levels). For high RF power
measurements, use a 10 dB, 2 Watt attenuator pad when maximum RF level into
Spectrum Analyzer is at +30 dBm, set the analyzer input attenuator set to 50 dB.

Figure 6. RF Noise Measurements
RF Amplifier is for low power RF Noise measurements. Analyzer input attenuator
set to 0 dB. Spectrum Analyzer is set for marker noise mode to give noise per Hz
display. The marker must be positioned on the noise floor and not on any spurious
signals in the RF frequency band. Noise of RF source is analyzer noise
measurement is:
RFnoise = Nsa − G
(dBm/Hz)
eq.1
Where, RFnoise is the RF Source noise in dBm/Hz, Nsa is noise measured on the
spectrum analyzer in dBm/Hz, and G is the amplifier Gain in dB. Using the gain
control of the FTU front panel potentiometer adjusts noise level to be compatible
with the basestation requirements. LNA has uplink sensitivity level capability.

•
Verify all RF cables are connected and all unused RF connections terminated with
50 Ohm terminations.
•
Verify all Alarm and AC connections are properly made
•
Apply AC power to system components.
•
Connect fiber optic cables.
•
Use fiber optic connector cleaning precautions to get the highest performance from
the system. Do not make optical connector tip contact with any hard surface. Be
sure the FC/APC key is aligned before tightening. Do not over tighten.
Do Not exceed the Maximum Rf input level to units, FTU downlink is RF input 0
dBm Composite. ORU Uplink RF input is (-) 40 dBm Composite.
Downlink Results
The ORU has high output power and provides 1.26 Watts of RF Power (+31 dBm).
The ORU has constant automatic level when the output reaches 31 dBm
Composite. See Heading 6 for equipment setup. Inside the ORU the rf gain is
factory adjust with a potentiometer and does not need to be adjusted.
Uplink Results
The Uplink rf gain is set to 27 dB with a 1 meter fiber patch cord. See Heading 7 for
equipment setup. The noise figure is 4dB. Use the test configuration shown in part
7. Connect the spectrum analyzer to the RF out port corresponding to the
transceiver being calibrated. Adjust the gain on the front panel of the Fiber
Transceiver Unit (FTU) for the transceiver being calibrated to give an RF level
required at the basestation.
Caution
BDA has internal AC power connections that can cause shock if operator is not
careful. Always verify the AC Power Protection Cover is protecting the AC line
connections on the terminal block connector. Do not leave tools inside of BDA that
can cause dangerous shock hazard.
Maintenance
This Fiber Optic repeater system does not require maintenance. However, use
precautions while installing optical fibers to keep connector surfaces clean. An
unclean optical connector surface can damage the internal transceiver connector
which will degrade system performance and void Fiber-Span warranty.
