Caution ........................12 Maintenance .......................12 Company Information....................12 Reference Documents ....................13 Introduction This manual outlines the operation and setup for Fiber-Span Fiber Optic Based RF Repeaters. Warnings Figure 1. Laser Warning Label Warning: Invisible radiation exits from areas labeled “Aperture” AC power is used to supply power up the system modules. Use precautions to prevent electrical shock hazards.
Product Overview Fiber-Span provides product to enable RF signal to be distributed via optical fiber cable. RF signal sources can be used from over the air (OTA) from a Radio Base Station (BS), OTA from handheld devices, or directly from a BS radio. RF signals are converted to modulated light for transport through optical fiber media to remote locations.

RF Path Definitions The RF paths are defined as follows: Downlink – Originates at the FTU or and IHU, over fiber to the RRU to the RF Port. The Downlink generally is defined by the RF output power the RRU can deliver. Uplink –...
Alarms The Opt in Alarm interface uses a wire contact header (supplied) that will plug into the Opt in Alarm sockets. Connection of alarm wires to the wire contact header requires a small standard flathead screwdriver. The connections are dry contact relay terminals.

See LED alarm indicator locations in Figure 10. A receiver alarm is triggered by excessive optical loss. The transmitter alarm is triggered when the laser transmitter runs over bias. The PA alarm indicates that the PA is overdriven. The Door / Fan alarm indicates when the door is left open or if a cooling fan fails.
