2 Description of ClearFill®Space1 System
When coverage is needed in a large building (typically larger than 200.000 sq ft), RF repeaters 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, campus, 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 fiberoptical 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.

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 optimised 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 input 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.

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 delays 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.

Figure 6: Block schematic of the Remote Unit
A detailed block schematic of the RU is shown in Figure 4 indicating the optical transceiver
part in red, the monitoring electronic in blue, the PSU in yellow and the RF amplifier block
in grey.
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 optical 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.

Figure 7: Inner arrangement of the Remote Unit
The optical transceiver and the power supply are separate modules. The pilot tone monitoring, 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 arranged on the bottom side. The attractive design and the protection class IP 54 allows installing 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.

PROPRIETARY
Reg. No.: User Handbook 1100182-C.DOC
Page 14 of 29
User Handbook L-RU
Revision C
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.

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.

Installation Procedure
The installation may only be carried out by qualified personnel that is familiar with the hazards involved and the relevant statutory regulations.
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 installation.
3. Drill or fit four wall fixings to which the RU is to be fitted. For the physical dimensions 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.

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 individual ALCs and their reaction time is adjusted to each other. At least the whole system ope rates 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.

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 performance 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 system 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 ident ified 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 ha zards 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 section 7.4 (Troubleshooting).
