3 OPERATION

This section provides guidelines for turning-up the RIU, verifying that the RIU is operating
properly, setting the forward and reverse path signal levels, and correcting any installation
problems.

3.1 Tools and Materials

The following tools and materials are required in order to complete the procedures in this
section:
• RF power meter
• Pencil or pen
• Writing pad

3.2 Turn-Up Unit and Verify Operation

The process of turning-up the RIU and verifying operation involves setting the forward and
reverse path signal levels, turning on the power, verifying that the LED indicator shows
normal operation, and then measuring the forward and reverse path signal levels. Refer to
Table 3 for a detailed description of the ALARM LED indicator.
INDICATOR
ALARM
Use the following procedure to power-up the system:
1. Temporarily disconnect the alarm system or notify the alarm system provider that unit
turn-up is in progress.
2. Adjust the forward and reverse path signal levels as specified in Sections 3.3 and 3.4.
3. Verify that the donor antenna is properly installed and connected.
Note: To comply with Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) requirements, the
maximum composite output from the antenna cannot exceed 1000 watts EIRP and the
antenna must be permanently installed in a fixed location that provides at least 6 meters
(20 feet) of separation from all persons.
4. Verify that the RIU is connected to the appropriate AC outlet.
5. Place the ON/OFF switch on the RIU in the ON position (press I).
6. Verify that the ALARM LED on the RIU turns green.
