Unauthorized use may result in significant forfeiture penalties, including penalties in excess of $100,000 for each continuing violation. The installation procedure must result in the signal booster complying with FCC requirements 90.219(d). In order to meet FCC requirements 90.219(d), it may be necessary for the installer to reduce the UL and/or DL output power for certain installations.    ATTENTION: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.    ATTENTION: FCC regulation mandate that the ERP of type B signal boosters should not exceed 5W. This Signal Booster has a composite output power of 1W, therefore the  gain  of  the  DL  antenna  should  be  of  6dBi  or  less  and  maintain  a  minimum separation of 25 cm from all persons, and the gain of the UL antenna should be 13dBi or less and maintain a minimum separation of 28cm from all persons.     IC Compliance   As per RSS 131 Issue 2:    Nominal passband gain: 80dB max   Nominal bandwidth: 8MHz maximum for Canada market   Rated mean output power: Up to +30dBm   Input and Output imedances: 50 ohms  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.  RF Exposure Statement for ISED: “This device complies with Health Canada’s Safety Code.  The installer of this device shouldensure that RF radiation is not emitted in excess of the Health Canada’s requirement.  Information can be obtained at http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/pubs/radiation/radio_guide-lignes_direct/index-eng.php”
  UM-0825     8 The antenna/s used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation of at least 40 cm in DL and 45 cm in UL from all persons and must not be collocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

  UM-0825     9 2.  Product Description.  The H7 Series Compact Signal Booster are IF SAW based Adjustable Bandwidth signal boosters that operates in the downlink frequency of 763-775MHz and in the uplink frequency of 793-805MHz for United States. For Canada it operates in the downlink frequency of 768-776MHz and in the uplink frequency of 798-806MHz.  This Signal boosters extends the radio coverage into areas inside the Base Station range where propagation losses prevent reliable communication.   The system receives the UL signal though a Donor antenna to be amplified, filtered and re-radiated through the Service antennas. The DL signal is received by the Service antennas to be amplified, filtered and  re-radiated through the Donor antenna back to the Base Station. This way, the system works as a Bidirectional Amplifier.  This signal booster is capable of handling one Adjustable Bandwidth band from 700KHz to 12Mhz in uplink and downlink. The start and stop frequency can be tuned via a software interface.    The intermediate filtering of this equipment is performed using IF SAW filtering technology and, among many, it has the following features: - High Selectivity. - Adjustable BW filter. - Uplink Squelch with configurable threshold and configurable time hysteresis.  This Digital Signal Booster has a compact heavy duty IP67/NEMA4X cabinet for outdoor usage, it is designed to be wall or pole mounted.

  UM-0825     11 3.  Signal Booster Block Diagram  This Signal Booster is basically a bi-directional amplifier, the downlink signals are received by the Signal Booster from cell site by the donor antenna, filtered by its internal duplexers and IF filters units, amplified by low noise amplifier(LNA) and downlink PA unit, and then sent via the server antenna to the area to improve mobile signals for mobile phones. The uplink signal of mobile devices from the coverage area is input via the server antenna, then filtered by duplexers and IF filters units, amplified by the uplink low noise amplifier (LNA) and the uplink PA unit and finally sent via the donor antenna to the cell site tower.  A detector in the PA stage measures continuously the output level. The signals from this detector is used by the automatic gain control(AGC), to supervise and, if necessary, reduce the chain gain, in order to keep the output power level, under the maximum.  All the parameters are supervised by a microcontroller.       4.  Installation   Mounting the Signal Booster  The Fiplex Compact Signal Booster is designed for outdoor usage with a weather proof outdoor cabinet that can be mounted without any kind of shelter from rain, snow or hail. However, to improve reliability, it is recommended to mount the Signal Booster on a site with some kind of shelter from direct exposure to sun, rain, snow and hailing.   We extremely recommend not operating the Signal Booster under very bad weather conditions, such as:       - Intense rainfall, snowfall or hail - Storm or high wind - Extremely low or high temperature - High humidity of the air
  UM-0825     12 Mounting  1. Mount the bracket The Signal Booster can be mounted on a wall or pole. These mounting cases are shown below in Figure 1 and Figure 2. The bracket is provided with the Signal Booster.    Figure 1  Figure 1 shows a bracket attachment to a wall using three fixing screws.     Figure 2  Figure 2 shows a bracket attachment to a pipe using two inox hose clamps (provided with bracket).
  UM-0825     13  1.  After attaching the bracket hang the Signal Booster.     Figure 3   2.  Screw the cabinet to the bracket To attach the Signal Booster’s cabinet to the bracket use the provided four M6 x 2” allen screws and follow the indicated steps:                              A - Release Signal Booster cover.    Use allen key N°6
  UM-0825     14   B - Open Signal Booster cover.             C - Place and screw the four M6 x 2” allen screws.                D - Close the cover.
  UM-0825     15     E - Secure Signal Booster    If additional security is required, you can lock the cabinet with a padlock. For this, secure the locking pin and turn the lock as shown in the figure.
  UM-0825     16 Commissioning      Figure 4  Figure 5 shows RF ports and AC and DC cable glands location.  1. Connect service antenna (“TO MOBILE” port) and donor antenna (“TO BASE” port) coaxial cables. N type female connectors are used in the Signal Booster.  2. Once RF ports of the Signal Booster are properly loaded connect mains to the AC source. Electrical installation must provide differential and termo-magnetic breaker elements according to electric safety international regulations.  3 Make sure that not used cable glands are properly sealed. For this, use the seal plug and self-amalgamating tape.  L NTMBDB
  UM-0825     17 3. Auxiliary DC connection can be provided to the Signal Booster from an external DC source. There is a dedicated cable gland for this purpose (EXT DC INPUT in figure 4), and a dedicated DC connector labelled P60002 located at the main board. A 5.5mm x 2.1mm center positive plug must be used. Please check appropriate DC voltage at Signal Booster specification sheet.  4. If the Signal Booster has the NFPA Option, there is a dedicated cable gland for this purpose (“AUX IN/OUT” in figure 4). A multi-conductor cable can be used to connect the NFPA dry contacts to the Fire Department Control Box.     Figure 5; NFPA Dry Contact connection configuration     Figure 6; NFPA Dry Contact connection location inside the cabinet   5. Once the Signal Booster has been connected to power source (either AC mains or external DC), it takes about 20 seconds to run a booting routine. After that time Signal Booster is ready to be connected via USB cable to a computer running pFOMS in order to be properly configured. See Part 2 Software of this manual to install pFOMS.  456123NC NO NC NORepeaterFailVSWRStatus of contacts (Alarms Off)Pin 1 – 2 = VSWR (normally closed contact)Pin 2 – 3 = VSWR (normally open contact)Pin 4 – 5 = Repeater Fail (normally closed contact)Pin 5 – 6 = Repeater Fail (normally open contact)
  UM-0825     18 Starting operation  1. Setup desired filter configuration using pFOMS (only for programmable band selective and programmable channel selective models). For fixed bandwidth Signal Boosters this feature will not allow user to make changes, so, skip this step for fixed bandwidth models.  2. Setup desired operating gain using pFOMS. UL and DL chain are independent, so both values must be set. For nominal gain of the Signal Booster these values must be set to zero.     Figure 7  Figure 7 shows how to set up manual attenuation values.
  UM-0825     19 Auto-oscillation Condition  If the isolation between donor and service antennas system is lower than required, the amplified signal will go back from service antenna to donor antenna. It will lead to self-oscillation, reducing the coverage area and amplified signal quality.  The isolation between donor and service antennas systems must be, the nominal Signal Booster gain plus 15dB, in order to assure the properly operation of the Signal Booster.   .  Status Indicators  There is an indicator panel located at the front panel of the Signal Booster. This led panel works as a status monitor, in order to advice different operational conditions of the Signal Booster. There are four leds, first one the power ON indication led, labelled “PWR”. A Second led, labelled “STS” resumes warnings regarding critical operational conditions of the Signal Booster. Third and fourth led resumes operational conditions for uplink “UL” and downlink “DL” chains. Signalling will be explained in table 1.    Operative Condition Indicator Panel 1 Start UP
  UM-0825     20 2 Stationary state  3 AGC DL  4 AGC UL  5 Overload DL  6 Overload UL   Table 1  1. Start UP Every time the Signal Booster is plugged to AC mains (or auxiliary DC power), will start a self diagnosis and booting sequence that lasts around 20 seconds, during this time Signal Booster is not available for traffic, and the reason is because an automatic antenna isolation control procedure runs in order to detect poor isolation conditions. During this time all leds in the front panel will blink. In case of bad isolation condition led “UL” or “DL” (depends on the path where auto-oscillation condition was detected) will stay ON during five seconds.  2. Stationary state Once the booting sequence is finished and under no AGC or Overload conditions only the PWR led must keep ON.  3. AGC DL Blinking condition indicates that AGC circuitry is active for downlink path. For further information please read Automatic Gain Control (AGC) latter in this chapter.  4. AGC UL Blinking condition indicates that AGC circuitry is active for uplink path. For further information please read Automatic Gain Control (AGC) latter in this chapter.  5. Overload DL Led permanently ON indicates that Overload protection circuitry for downlink path is active. For further information please read Overload Protection latter in this chapter.  6. Overload UL Led permanently ON indicates that Overload protection circuitry for uplink path is active. For further information please read Overload Protection latter in this chapter.         Automatic Gain Control (AGC)  Automatic Gain Control circuitry is intended to keep Signal Booster’s output power at a fixed level when input signals exceed maximum values, avoiding quality signal degradation by intermodulation generation. When AGC is active AGC leds from UL or DL (or both) will blink, this means that signal level from donor  site (or  from  service  area)  plus  Signal  Booster  gain  produces  an  output  power  that  is  above  the  maximum composite output power of the Signal Booster. This should not be considered an undesired working condition,
  UM-0825     21 far from that; this is the best operating condition because you are getting the maximum composite output power available from the Signal Booster. Anyway is a good practice to increase attenuation (reducing gain), until AGC led turns off, this operation releases AGC circuitry dynamic range. Also is a good practice to check signals from donor site to ensure that undesired signals are not being amplified by the Signal Booster, or even desired signal levels are not excessively high taking Signal Booster to an overload condition.   Overload Protection  When AGC circuit reaches its limit, the power amplifier stage is shut down to prevent harmful distortion and potential damage to  the  Signal Booster.  After approximately ten  seconds  the system checks if overload condition is still present, if this happens amplifiers will remain off. This cyclic check will continue until condition that makes AGC circuitry reach its limits disappears. Conditions that can cause AGC to reach its limits include the presence of one or more very strong channels, a strong in-band noise source, or amplifier oscillation due to poor antenna isolation.  When overload protection lower row led from UL or DL (or both) will be ON permanently.   Laboratory Measurements  For specific parameters verification and laboratory tests, please contact factory. Detailed procedures, recommended tests set up, and a knowledge engineering team will bring adequate support to perform this measurements in a comfortable and safely way.
