Installation Instructions
Model Number: FDBL5003D-S
PACKAGE CONTENTS
Please find the following products inside the box:
• (1) Wideband Diplexer
• (2) Clamps (For pole mounting – diameter 54-105mm)
• (1) Installation Instructions
RECOMMENDED TOOLS
The following tools are needed for proper installation
• 8mm Socket Head or Wrench – for fixation of the clamps
• 10 mm Wrench and 3 mm Allen Wrench – for fixation of the
grounding hardware
• Torque Wrench
POLE MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Check that RF signals and DC power coming from the
Base Station are OFF/disconnected.
2. Fix the clamps onto the Diplexer (See Figure 1).
3. Mount the Diplexer to the pole by tightening the clamps with
10 Nm (7.5 ft-lb) torque.
4. Attach a grounding cable to the grounding screw.
5. Tighten the ground cable nut with 4 Nm (3 ft-lb) torque.
6. Adjust the length of the ground cable and fix it onto the tower
ground connection.
7. Connect a jumper between the 7/16 connector of the antenna
and the 7/16 connector Diplexer. Connect the jumper between
the 7/16 connector of the Diplexer(s) and the 7/16 connectors
of the feeder cables.
8. When attaching the jumper cable 7/16 connector coupling nut to
the Diplexer 7/16 female connector it is mandatory that the
jumper cable meets with the 7/16 female connector of the
Diplexer straight in line (See Figure 2). Press the inner part of the
jumper cable connector into the Diplexer connector and maintain
this pressure when turning the coupling nut. Hereby the coupling
nut will fit the thread of the female connector correctly and it will
run smoothly. Tighten the coupling nut by hand.
Note: No angular torque from the jumper cable is allowed at
any time.
9. Tighten the connector assembly with 25 Nm (18.4 ft-lb)
torque.
10. Seal all connectors. The tape around the connectors must
connect with the Diplexer top/bottom plates for correct
weather protection. See section "Connector Insulation" details.
WALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Disconnect RF signals and DC power.
2. Mount the filter onto the wall using the holes provided in the
brackets (see Mechanical dimensions in the drawing section of
these instructions). Hardware is NOT included for wall
mounting. Use mounting hardware appropriate to the material
being mounted to and appropriate to the weight of the filter.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
IMPORTANT: All national safety rules and regulations must be
followed during installation and maintenance of the Diplexer.
! Make sure that the Base Station is sending the proper DC input
voltage (10-30VDC) through the feeder cable. The DC input
voltage MUST be applied on the BTS Port.
! It is important that no RF and DC power is floating in the
associated RF feeder cable and, in general, that no power is
radiated from the tower or site during the Diplexer installation.
! RFS recommends using the shortest jumper cable from the
Diplexer ANT Port to the Antenna in order to optimize system
performance.
! RFS recommends applying additional anti-corrosion protection
and using best practices when products are installed in areas
with high-salt concentration, on chimneys (SO
harsh environment, to lengthen the product lifetime.
! RFS recommends using RFS accessories and cables to ensure the
best installation.
