Safety Precautions & Declared Material

General Equipment Precautions
Use of controls, adjustments, or performing procedures other than those

! specified herein, may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
When working with a FibeAir IDU, note the following risk of electric
shock and energy hazard: Disconnecting one power supply disconnects
! only one power supply module. To isolate the unit completely,
disconnect all power supplies.
Machine noise information order - 3. GPSGV, the highest sound pressure

! level amounts to 70 dB (A) or less, in accordance with ISO EN 7779.
Static electricity may cause body harm, as well as harm to electronic
components inside the device.
Anyone responsible for the installation or maintenance of the FibeAir RFU-C
must use an ESD Wrist Strap.
ESD protection measures must be observed when touching the RFU.
To prevent damage, before touching components inside the device, all
electrostatic must be discharged from both personnel and tools.
! In Norway and Sweden:

Equipment connected to the protective earthing of the building installation
through the mains connection or through other equipment with a connection
to protective earthing – and to a cable distribution system using coaxial cable,
may in some circumstances create a fire hazard. Connection to a cable
distribution system has therefore to be provided through a device providing
electrical isolation below a certain frequency range (galvanic isolator, see EN
60728-11).
Utstyr som er koplet til beskyttelsesjord via nettplugg og/eller via annet
jordtilkoplet utstyr – og er tilkoplet et kabel-TV nett, kan forårsake brannfare.
For å unngå dette skal det ved tilkopling av utstyret til kabel-TV nettet
installeres en galvanisk isolator mellom utstyret og kabel- TV nettet.
Utrustning som är kopplad till skyddsjord via jordat vägguttag och/eller via
annan utrustning och samtidigt är kopplad till kabel-TV nät kan i vissa fall
medfőra risk főr brand. Főr att undvika detta skall vid anslutning av
utrustningen till kabel-TV nät galvanisk isolator finnas mellan utrustningen
och kabel-TV nätet.

Précautions générales relatives à l'équipement
L’utilisation de commandes ou de réglages ou l'exécution de procédures

! autres que celles spécifiées dans les présentes peut engendrer une
exposition dangereuse aux rayonnements.
L’usage de FibeAir IDU s’accompagne du risque suivant d'électrocution

et de danger électrique : le débranchement d'une alimentation
! électrique ne déconnecte qu'un module d'alimentation électrique. Pour
isoler complètement l'unité, il faut débrancher toutes les alimentations
électriques.
Bruit de machine d’ordre - 3. GPSGV, le plus haut niveau de pression

! sonore s'élève à 70 dB (A) au maximum, dans le respect de la norme ISO
EN 7779.
Allgemeine Vorsichtsmaßnahmen für die Anlage
Wenn andere Steuerelemente verwendet, Einstellungen vorgenommen

! oder Verfahren durchgeführt werden als die hier angegebenen, kann
dies gefährliche Strahlung verursachen.
Beachten Sie beim Arbeiten mit FibeAir IDU das folgende Stromschlag-
und Gefahrenrisiko: Durch Abtrennen einer Stromquelle wird nur ein
! Stromversorgungsmodul abgetrennt. Um die Einheit vollständig zu
isolieren, trennen Sie alle Stromversorgungen ab.
Maschinenlärminformations-Verordnung - 3. GPSGV, der höchste

! Schalldruckpegel beträgt 70 dB(A) oder weniger gemäß EN ISO 7779.

1. About This Guide

This guide describes the FibeAir 1500HP/RFU-HP installation procedures and
provides additional information concerning system parts and frequency bands.
2. What You Should Know

This guide provides general instructions for assembling the 1500HP/RFU-HP
components, as well as instructions for assembling specific split-mount and
all-indoor configurations.
Important! For the warranty to be honored, install the unit in accordance
with the instructions in this manual.
3. Target Audience
This guide contains technical information about 1500HP/RFU-HP installation, and
is intended for use by qualified Ceragon technical personnel at all levels.

5. Important Notes
 1500HP/RFU-HP is intended for installation in a Restricted Access
Location.
 1500HP/RFU-HP must be installed and permanently connected to
protective earth by qualified service personnel in accordance with
applicable national electrical codes.
 The FibeAir system is to be installed in Network Telecommunication
Facilities.
The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable

for connection to intra-building or exposed wiring or cabling only. The
intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be
WARNING! metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its
wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces
only (Type 2 or Type 4 port as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and
require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary
Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these
interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

6. 1500HP/RFU-HP Models and Part Numbers

The RFU-HP can be installed in split-mount and all-indoor configurations.
The 1500HP has a 1 receiver (1RX) and 2 receiver (2RX) options. The 1500HP
2RX can be used for IF Combining (IFC) Space Diversity. However, 1500 HP 56
MHz bandwidth does not support IFC Space Diversity.
The following table lists and describes the available 1500HP/RFU-HP models.
All RFU models are suited to operate in indoor and outdoor environments.

7. FibeAir 1500HP/RFU-HP OCBs

FibeAir 1500HP/RFU-HP supports two types of OCBs:
 Old OCB
 OCB
Both OCBs are compatible with all RFU-HP/1500HP part numbers.
Old OCB OCB
This installation guide describes installations using the newer type OCB. For
installation procedures using the older type OCB, refer to Revision B and older
versions of this Installation Guide.
The OCB is optimized for configurations that do not use IFC Space Diversity.
To support IFC Space Diversity, a diversity block is added.
The OCB has just one type, and can be connected to an antenna via a flexible
waveguide.
The OCB connection is at the rear of the OCB. It includes proprietary
accessories (different than those used for the older OCB).
Each OCB has three waveguide access points: The In/Out port is located at the
rear of the OCB.
The OCB ports include:
 Tx port
 Rx Port
 Diversity port
If the system is not configured for diversity, all the relevant access points on
the OCB must be terminated using waveguide shorts. Unused Rx ports will be
terminated with a WG termination.

7.1.1 OCB Components

The OCB includes the following components:
DCB (Diversity Circulator Block) Coupler Kit
U-Bend S-Bend Pole-Mount Kit
OCB components include the following:

 RF Filters – RF Filters are used for specific frequency channels and Tx/Rx
separation. The filters are attached to the OCB, and each RFU contains one
Rx and one Tx filter. In a Space Diversity configuration, with IF combining,
each RFU contains two Rx filters (which combine the IF signals) and one
Tx filter. The filters can be replaced without removing the OCB.
 DCB (Diversity Circulator Block) – An external block which is added in
Space Diversity configurations. The DCB is connected to the diversity port
and can chain two OCBs.
 Coupler Kit – The coupler kit is used for 1+1 Hot Standby configurations.
 U Bend – The U Bend connects the chained DCB (Diversity Circulator
Block) in N+1/N+ 0 configurations.
 S Bend – The S Bend connects the chained OCB (Outdoor Circulator Block)
in N+1 /N+ 0 configurations.
 Pole Mount Kit – The Pole Mount Kit can fasten up to five OCBs and the
RFUs to the pole. The kit enables fast and easy installation.

The following table presents the various RFU options and the configurations
in which they are used. This table is applicable for all OCB configurations (Split
Mount and Compact All Indoor).

 IF – Connects the RFU to the IDU.
 Ground – Used for electrical ground.
 Flexible Waveguide – Connects the RFU to the antenna.

17. Grounding the 1500HP/RFU-HP

 The RFU is suitable for installation in a Common Bonding Network (CBN).
 Only copper wire should be used.
 The coaxial port cables should be shielded and grounded at both ends.
 The wire must be at least 14 AWG or thicker.
 Connector and connection surfaces must be plated. Bare conductors must
be coated with antioxidant before crimp connections are made to the
screws.
 FibeAir provides a ground for each drawer, via a one-hole mounted lug
onto a single-point stud. The stud must be installed using a UL-listed ring
tongue terminal, and two star washers for anti-rotation.
 For antenna ports, lightning protection is used that does not permit
transients of a greater magnitude than the following:
 Open Circuit: 1.2-50us 600V
 Short Circuit: 8-20us 300A
 FibeAir’s battery return terminals are in the configuration of an Isolated
DC return (DC-I) and Common DC Return (DC-C).
The grounding point is assembled as shown in the following illustration.
