 User Handbook L-RU  Revision C  CONFIDENTIAL PROPRIETARY Reg. No.: User Handbook 1100182-C.DOC   Page 6 of 29  2  Description of ClearFill®Space1 System When coverage is needed in a large building (typically larger than 200.000 sq ft), RF re-peaters driving passive distributed antenna systems (DAS) often become impractical due to their coaxial cable loss. ClearFill®Space1 is offering great value because the signal loss in fiber is extremely low compared to coaxial cable. ClearFill®Space1 can provide excellent coverage over broad areas.  ClearFill®Space1 is a mid power indoor coverage solution that meets any RF distribution needs – from simple entry-level systems to the most complex applications.   ClearFill®Space1 is a modular RF-over-fiber distribution system that provides reliable and highest quality indoor coverage of 2G and 3G wireless services in airports, hospitals, cam-pus, enterprises, convention centers, high-rise buildings and tunnels.   The ClearFill®Space1 system is a plug-and-play fiber-optical repeater system consisting of two main components: a Master Unit (MU) and Remote Units (RU), connected via a fiber-optical link(s).   L-MU series Master Unit L-MU1 drives one remote unit (band selective) L-MU2 drives two remote units (band selective) L-MU4 drives four remote units (band selective)   Figure 1 – Master unit L-MU of ClearFill®Space1  Three types of RF broadband MU are feeding one, two or four RU providing high level of flexibility.  This handbook refers to the RU of a ClearFill®Space1 system. For further information about the L-MU please refer to the User handbook L-MU.
 User Handbook L-RU  Revision C  CONFIDENTIAL PROPRIETARY Reg. No.: User Handbook 1100182-C.DOC   Page 7 of 29   The RU is a fiber-fed, band-selective single-band RF amplifier. The automatically leveled composite output power (22dBm, equivalent to 2x19dBm for two RF carriers) of a single RU guarantees best coverage at low prices and is able to drive an area of typically 50.000 sq ft.

Figure 3 – Example of ClearFill®Space1 System Topology  Both devices (L-MU and L-RU) include an automatic level control (ALC) in uplink and downlink that eliminates system gain variation, regardless of optical loss guarantying opti-mised system performance under minimised installation effort.  The interface to the BTS / Node B or an Off-Air Repeater is the master unit. In case of a multi-operator system a combining network (POI) has to be used in order to adapt the in-put signal to the MU interface.  An opportunity to extend the system to distribute WiFi over the same DAS is foreseen via RFS WiFi injection port.  L-RU L-RU

No.: User Handbook 1100182-C.DOC   Page 9 of 29  2.1  General System Performance  Optical link:  •  0 to 6 dB optical attenuation •  Mono-mode fiber  Plug-and-play function:  •  Self-leveling system in UL and DL •  Fixed output power levels of RU in DL •  Fixed output power levels of RU in UL for laser protection •  ALC of MU in DL for auto-leveling of composite input power for varying num-ber of carriers •  ALC of MU in UL for auto-leveling of parallel optical links and compensating for various optical link losses •  Commissioning effort reduced to a minimum •  Operating under ETSI requirements    Application:  •  RU and MU build up an end-to-end RF system connected via a pair of optical fiber. See User Handbook of Master Unit (L-MU series) for additional information about MU. • The system MU-RU and its plug-and-play functionality  is designed to operate for typical DAS applications with nominal UL input signal strengths (into RU RF in/out port) in the range of -55 dBm to -35 dBm.  •  As every  distributed  RF-over-fiber system, ClearFill Space1 introduces signal de-lays in DL and in UL due to the use of single-mode optical fibers between MU and RU. This delay has to be taken into account by cellular network planning/operation for appropriate setting of BTS/NodeB search windows. This also applies for remote BTS/NodeB’s  which may be  connected to a  ClearFill Space1 system over-the-air using an off-air repeater with donor antenna.  Establishing a connection  between mobile  / handheld device and BTS/NodeB may  fail due to of improper setting of search window / range.

In downlink, an optical receiver ORx converts the optical input signals from the Optical Master Unit to RF signals. The BP/LP separates RF communications signals from the monitoring pilot tone. A cascade of amplifiers provides sufficient RF gain imbedded in an ALC which keeps the output power level constant compensating optical losses of the opti-cal link. The duplexer separates downlink output signals from uplink input signals.  In uplink, the RF amplifier is embedded in an ALC, which compensates varying input power levels. The output power into the laser OTx is limited protecting the laser against damages. The BP/LP module combines the RF signals with the pilot tone in UL.

AC Power Cable SC/APC Optical IN / OUT Connectors RF N- Connector PSU Monitoring LED Downlink path Earthing Clamp Uplink path  Pilot Tone Monitoring Optical Module Duplexer  Figure 7: Inner arrangement of the Remote Unit  The optical transceiver and the power supply are separate modules. The pilot tone moni-toring, downlink, uplink and the duplexer are integrated on one PCB. All modules of the RU are integrated in a cast housing with integrated heat sink designed for wall mounting. The housing has a protection against splash water, dust and dirt. All connections are ar-ranged on the bottom side. The attractive design and the protection class IP 54 allows in-stalling the RU in various environments.   3.2.1  Uplink The uplink path mainly consists of a four-stage amplifier with two integrated filters, an ALC and a limiter to protect the laser in UL against high power levels and to avoid non-linear operation.
 User Handbook L-RU  Revision C  CONFIDENTIAL PROPRIETARY Reg. No.: User Handbook 1100182-C.DOC   Page 15 of 29  The ALC compensates for different uplink input levels per carrier providing optimised UL performance with regard to spurious free dynamic range.  3.2.2  Downlink The downlink path includes a five-stage amplifier with balanced power amplifier, filters and an ALC, which automatically operates the RU according to ETSI requirements. The downlink path is equipped with a monitoring to control the RF-amplifiers. Each amplifier stage can generate an alarm by controlling the DC-current.   3.2.3  Monitoring All amplifier stages in downlink and uplink as well as the optical transceiver are monitored. Failures are logically combined to a resulting summary alarm that results in a switch-off of the pilot tone.  The alarm matrix of the RU is shown in Table 1 below.  Alarm  LED  OK  Failure Power supply  Main Power  green  Off Summary alarm (RF am-plifiers, optical modules)  Monitoring  green  red  Table 1 – Alarm matrix of the RU 3.2.4  Function of ALC  The main part of this ALC system is a detector circuitry. It converts an RF signal to an equivalent DC voltage at its output. The detected voltage is compared with a reference value adjusting an electrical controlled attenuator. Thus, the RF power level at the antenna port is kept constant to maximum and no manual leveling is required.  3.2.5  Duplexer The duplexer at the antenna port is a high performance ceramic duplexer separating uplink and downlink RF-bands.

Before begin of the installation of the RU, all RF cable and optical cable should be installed first. The procedure for installing the L-RU is generally as follows:  1.  Transport the RU to the chosen site in its packaging. 2.  Remove the RU from its packaging and check that there are no obvious signs of physical damage. If the unit is physically damaged do not proceed with the in-stallation. 3.  Drill or fit four wall fixings to which the RU is to be fitted. For the physical dimen-sions of the wall fixings refer to Figure 8. The type of fixings will depend on the construction of the wall. It has to be ensured that the wall fixings are adequate for a total weight of more than 6 kg.  Note: The provided dowels in the accessories are suitable for installation in indoor areas (closed spaces) only and for following wall constructions.  • Concrete  • Pre-stressed hollow-core concrete slabs  • Natural stone with dense structure  • Solid brick  • Sand-lime solid brick  • Solid block made from lightweight concrete  • Aircrete  • Solid panel made from gypsum  • Hollow block made from lightweight concrete  • Slabs made of perforated bricks  • Hollow concrete blocks etc.  For the installation in other environment (e. g. tunnel) or other wall construction an-other dowel must be used, which is suitable for this environment and wall construc-tion.  4.  Fit and secure the RU on to the fixings. It is strongly recommended that all four fixing points be used.  5.  Earth the RU in accordance with international and local recommendations and requirements. 6.  Connect the RU to RF distributing DAS or radiating cable. Connect the two opti-cal link cables from and to the assigned MU and plug in the power cable.

Ensure that all the cables leaving the RU first travel downward to ensure that any moisture is directed away from the RU. This is important for installation in tunnel environment.    Note:  It is important that the above installation instructions are followed in the sequence presented to ensure a correct and save installation.   Ensure a suitable mains power  supply is available adjacent to the RU. Connect the RU main cables to the mains supply in accordance with local wiring.   Note:   Avoid looking directly into the optical connectors of the RU if no op-tical cables or protective sleeve are installed and the RU is switched on.      213 mm 301 mm  Figure 9: Drill Template for wall installation
 User Handbook L-RU  Revision C  CONFIDENTIAL PROPRIETARY Reg. No.: User Handbook 1100182-C.DOC   Page 23 of 29  6.3  Commissioning Procedure  The ClearFill®Space1 system (consisting of MU and RU) is equipped with a combination of ALCs, minimum one at the input and one at the output. The dynamic range of the individ-ual ALCs and their reaction time is adjusted to each other. At least the whole system oper-ates in a balanced way providing defined power levels at the output of the system within the specified power levels at the system inputs.  Due to the self-levelling functionality no commissioning and testing of the ClearFill®Space1 system is necessary. The system can be set into operation as plug & play compensating automatically for fiber optical losses, for changes of number of operating RF carriers and for all types of temperature and aging effects.
 User Handbook L-RU  Revision C  CONFIDENTIAL PROPRIETARY Reg. No.: User Handbook 1100182-C.DOC   Page 24 of 29  7  Maintenance, Repair and Warranty 7.1  Introduction  The RU is designed and built to require no periodic maintenance. As long as the unit is kept away from extreme temperatures and moisture, it should provide long-term, carefree operation. It is strongly recommended that no invasive procedures are performed on the unit in an attempt to verify performance. See section  7.2 for recommended routine performance variation checks.  7.2  Routine Checks  Although the RU is a low-maintenance unit, it is recommended to routinely verify the per-formance of the RU by making test calls or detailed system checks on the actual radio coverage. Several test calls should be made at different positions within each area to get an overall picture of the system performance. This is by far the best way to check the sys-tem as it tests the whole system from an operational viewpoint as seen by the users.  It is strongly recommended that no invasive procedures be performed on the unit in an attempt to verify performance unless a serious problem with performance has been identi-fied as described above. Any such invasive procedures are more likely to do damage to the system and create intermittent performance than to be of any practical value.  7.3  Repair   Repairs may only be carried out by qualified personnel that are familiar with both the haz-ards involved and the relevant statutory regulations. Unauthorized modifications or repairs invalidate the warranty claim. Before contact RFS customer service for repair request please prove the checklist in sec-tion 7.4 (Troubleshooting).   For returns, repairs and ordering contact your RFS customer service or technical.consulting@rfsworld.com.
