MA 1000 Installation and Configuration Guide Radio Interface Unit (RIU) The RIU is an operator dedicated unit that interfaces to up to three BTS sources and automatically adjusts the signal output according to changing environmental conditions in order to provide optimal coverage for the site. The RIU is remotely monitored and managed.
MA 1000 Installation and Configuration Guide 2.2.1.1 RIU Front Panel The RIU front panel contains the indicators and expansion connectors for the connection of additional BUs. Power Supply Expansion connectors - for BTS Conditioners connecting additional BUs Figure 2-8. RIU Front Panel Table 2-7.
The rear-panel provides all the connections on the BTS side and on the BU side as well as connections to the MobileAccess 410/430 controller and the power connection. Two types of BTS side connections are available for each BTS conditioner: simplex and duplex.
MA 1000 Installation and Configuration Guide 2.3.1.1 MA BU Front Panel The front panel contains the optical connections and indicators. The BU is available in two configurations: Four-port - and Eight-port BUs.

Infrastructure Preparation This following installation rules are based on the assumption that site survey and installation including power requirements planning ( ) have been completed. Installation Requirements The infrastructure preparation consists of two main phases: A. Floor Planning: Planning the distribution of the antennas on each floor to provide the required coverage.
Use coax RG223, 50ohm, male-to-male N-type for RF connections from the BUs to the BTS/RBS and to the RIU. • When using the MobileAccess™ system in an environment in which other indoor coverage systems are installed, it is recommended (where possible) that the antennas are placed at least two meters apart •...
• Battery replacement in units - only the MA 410/430 controller has batteries. MA 410/430 Controller lithium type battery should only be replaced by MobileAccess service personnel. Risk of exploding if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
Example: a set of three elements consisting of a BU, RIU and MA 410/430 controller requires a 2A circuit breaker. 3.4.4 Types of Power Supplies MobileAccess supplies various power supplies that can be installed in a rack or mounted on a wall, depending on your configuration. Table 3-2: MobileAccess™ Power Supplies Power Supply...
MA 1000 Installation and Configuration Guide Installation Conventions Some of the basic installation conventions are listed below for the MA 1000 system: • Base Units – are usually concentrated in the same location, most often in the main communication room. •...
Page 38
MA 1000 Installation and Configuration Guide • For remote power supply configuration - cable bundles are routed from the main communication room and individual wire pairs are terminated into the power feed of individual units. By providing power from a single distribution point, maintenance can be reduced and UPS backup can be easily provided.
NMS Manager (NMS User’s Guide). Communication Room Installation NOTE: Usually, each operator installs the equipment that supports their services in a separate rack. It is recommended to install the following MobileAccess system modules in a 19” rack in the communication room • RIU 3U •...
If the site is serviced by more than one operator, each operator often installs their equipment in a separate rack. NOTE: Note that the MobileAccess 410/430 controller is at eye level to provide an easy view of the LED indicators and LCD display and easy access to the local and remote monitoring connections.
MA 1000 Installation and Configuration Guide • Ensure that adequate airflow and ventilation within the rack and around the installed components so that the safety of the equipment is not compromised. It is recommended to allow for at least about 2 cm of airspace between devices in the rack.
MA 1000 Installation and Configuration Guide 4.2.4 Multi-Building Rack Installation Figure 4-3 provides an example of a multi-building solution which distributes two bands over a main site and two remote sites. Each site consists of an 8-floor building, requiring 8 RHUS per building (one on each floor).
