Each antenna must be positioned to observe minimum separation requirements from all users and bystanders.    The following guidelines must be used when considering separation distances:    • Indoor antennas must be placed so that under normal conditions, personnel cannot come within 20 cm (~8 in) of any inside antenna. Adhering to this minimum separation will ensure that  the  employee  or  bystander  cannot  exceed  RF  exposures  beyond  the  maximum permissible  limit  as  defined  by  FCC  Regulations  section  1.1310  Limits  for  general population/uncontrolled exposure.  • Outdoor antenna must be positioned so  that under normal  conditions, personnel cannot approach closer than 120 cm (~4 ft.). A directional antenna having a maximum gain of 3.75 dBi is used, and precautions should be taken to prevent personnel from routinely passing through the main radiation beam at a distance closer than specified.    1.4 FCC Part 90 Signal Boosters  WARNING!

Adequate signal strength must be available outside the structure as a prerequisite to achieving in-building coverage.  The device is connected to an external antenna, normally located on a roof, and to one or more internal antennas placed strategically throughout the area where wireless service is desired.  The external antenna is typically directional, such as a Yagi or Panel antenna.  Internal antennas are typically omnidirectional, although various other types may be used, depending on the coverage application. The Signal Booster amplifies both the uplink (mobile to base) and downlink (base to mobile) signals, thus facilitating communications to and from the intended wireless infrastructure.  With a maximum total of 90 dB nominal gain on both the uplink and downlink, gain can be adjusted over a range from 60 dB to 90 dB in 1 dB steps.   The Signal Booster is controlled using a computer connected to the RJ45 Female Network Connector labeled ‘GUI’. There are also LED indicators to indicate alarm status, OSC and power. Refer to Figure 4-1.    2.2 Product Features  • Easy installation  • Light and small  • Control using a Windows-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) and accessed by connecting a laptop or desktop computer to the 8P8C/RJ45 Female Network Connector labeled ‘GUI’  • User gain control  • Automatic level control  • Automatic shutdown function  • Oscillation protection  • Overdrive protection  • Under/over voltage protection  • Fault protection  • Alarm notification • SNMP  • Persistent status and error information  • Battery Back-up Input

     PS71090-P8 Product Manual  October 2017, Rev A  WESTELL.COM  ©2017 Westell Technologies    October 2017; Doc No. CS14000802UM rA 1.877.844.4274    Page 25 of 51 5 Installation Guidelines  5.1 Important Installation Guidelines  • The PS71090 Signal Booster is designed for indoor use only.  • The PS71090 Signal Booster must be installed in a vertical orientation (i.e. Connectors on the bottom of the unit).  • Inadequate  isolation  between  the  outside  and  inside  antennas  may  cause  regenerative feedback in the system.   This feedback can cause the amplifier to emit a continuous signal at maximum  Amplitude, and, in some cases, interfere with normal operation of the donor site.  Careful consideration of the layout and placement of the system is imperative to           minimize this possibility and to minimize the amount of signal leaking from the  Building.   • Do not disassemble the Signal Booster.  DANGER! • Refer to the 1.3 Safety Guidelines section for proper antenna selection and installation.  To  avoid  serious  injury,  death  and/or  damage  to  the  Signal Booster, do not install donor or server antennas near overhead power lines or high  power  components.  Allow  enough  distance  so  that  falling  antennas would not come in contact with those components.    • Electric shock may occur if the Signal Booster is installed in close proximity to water.  WARNING! • Amplifier or handset damage may occur if a handset is connected directly to the Signal Booster or to the coax that leads to the Signal Booster.   • The PS71090 Signal Booster must be connected to ground for protection.  • We recommend that installers do not wear jewelry or metal accessories when installing this Signal Booster.  • Do  not  place  cables  or  tools  that  may  damage  the  Signal  Booster  in  close proximity to it.  • Check  the  installation  site  for  hazardous  conditions  such  as  water-covered floors or badly worn or damaged cables prior to installation.  • Lifespan and performance of the Signal Booster may be reduced if the unit is operating outside its nominal temperature range.
     PS71090-P8 Product Manual  October 2017, Rev A  WESTELL.COM  ©2017 Westell Technologies    October 2017; Doc No. CS14000802UM rA 1.877.844.4274    Page 26 of 51 CAUTION  • Close  proximity  to  the  donor  or  server  antennas  with  the  Signal Booster in operation may expose users or installers to RF fields that exceed FCC limits for human exposure.    • Turn power to the Signal Booster off when connecting or disconnecting cables.  5.2 Donor Antenna Installation Guidelines  • Accurately determine the azimuth to the donor site. Obtain the donor site information and approval from the service provider/carrier.  • Ensure that the radiation path to the donor site is unobstructed.  • Mount the donor antenna at or toward the edge of the roof, in the direction of the donor site.  Avoid  having the RF  signal from  the donor  pass above the location(s) of the service antennas. Normally, the service antennas are installed behind and below the donor antenna, as viewed from above. This approach helps avoid interference and feedback to and from the service antennas.  • Normally, mounting the donor antenna higher will allow a less obstructed path to the donor site. However, in high traffic metro areas, avoid mounting the donor antenna higher than necessary, as the quality of the donor signal may become less stable and it is more likely to encounter adjacent channel interference.  • When possible, shield the rear of a  donor antenna by  locating it  so that any  HVAC units and/or penthouse structures are behind the antenna, relative to the donor cell site location.    5.3 Indoor Antenna Installation Guidelines  • Use  omnidirectional  antennas  (see  section  2.4.  Optional  Accessories)  indoors  and  locate them centrally with respect to the intended coverage area to minimize signal leakage to the outside.  Only  use  directional  antennas  indoors  in  special  cases  when  higher  gain  and directionality would be helpful and RF exposure limits will not be exceeded.  • To avoid Signal Booster uplink overload and gain limiting, mount the indoor antennas away from areas where mobile subscribers frequently use their phones / radios, such as desks or dispatch areas. Note: If the signal level from Antenna at the UL service port is >-12dBm, Add external attenuation to avoid shutdown alarm • To  determine  the  quantity  and  locations  of  indoor  antennas,  measure  Received  Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) using DM Tool software to determine areas of weak signals. These are the approximate areas where indoor antennas may be needed.   • Be  aware  that  the  signal  from  an  indoor  antenna,  in  most  cases,  can  be  expected  to penetrate approximately two standard sheet rock walls to reach users. If the signal must travel through more than two walls, or if the walls are made of materials other than sheet rock, it may be necessary to split the available signal and add more antennas.

Figure 5-1: Signal Booster Mounting     1. Using  the  PS71090  as  a  template,  mark  the  four  (4)  locations  for  the  wall anchoring system screws.  2. Move the PS71090 unit and drill the mounting holes at the marks in the wall.   Install a wall anchor in each of the four (4) drilled holes.  3. Install the top two (2) screws into the anchors, leaving enough room to slide the screws into the oblong holes of the top of the unit’s mounting positions. 4. Once the Unit is hung on the top two (2) screws finish fastening the top screws. 5. Install the bottom two (2) screws into the anchors, fastening the Unit to the wall.

Verify that there are  no cables with  loose or poor connections. RF leakage could cause oscillation to occur under some conditions.  • If the rooftop antenna (donor antenna) is directional, check it for proper alignment along the calculated compass heading. Typically, the directional antenna would be aimed at the same site that your handset uses, but that may not always be the case.  • If cables and alignment are acceptable, and a problem persists, use a spectrum analyzer to examine  the  signal  environment  in  which  the  unit  is  operating.  The  existence  of  strong adjacent  channel  signals  within  the  frequency  band(s)  can  cause  the  AGC  to  reduce  the amplifier’s gain or cause alarms. In some cases, additional filtering or attenuation may be required to reject  these unwanted  signals. In  some instances,  the donor  antenna can be reoriented horizontally to place the interference source in an antenna pattern null.    5.6 Controlling the Signal Booster  Control and monitoring the Signal Booster requires that a properly configured computer with Westell PS71090 control software installed is connected via an Ethernet cable, such as the one shown in Figure 5-2A. Connect the Ethernet cable from the Network Interface port of a computer to the GUI port on the bottom end panel of the Signal Booster.
