3.1 WARNINGS AND ALERTS
Laser
Laser light can cause damage to eyes. Laser light is not visible. Viewing it directly does not cause pain.
The iris of the eye will not close when viewing a bright light. Consequently, serious damage to the retina of
the eye is possible. NEVER LOOK INTO THE END OF A FIBER WHICH MAY HAVE A LASER
COUPLED TO IT.
Radio Frequency Energies
There may be situations, particularly for workplace environments near high-powered RF sources, where
recommended limits for safe exposure of human beings to RF energy could be exceeded. In such cases,
restrictive measures or actions may be necessary to ensure the safe use of RF energy.
High Voltage
The equipment has been designed and constructed to prevent practicable danger, as far as reasonably
possible. Any work activity on or near equipment involving installation, operation or maintenance must be
free from danger, as far as reasonably possible.
Where there is a risk of damage to electrical systems involving adverse weather, extreme temperatures,
wet, corrosive or dirty conditions, flammable or explosive atmospheres, the system must be suitably
installed to prevent danger.
Protective Earthing
Equipment provided for the purpose of protecting individuals from electrical risk must be suitable for the
purpose and properly maintained and used.

Handling Precautions
This covers a range of activities including lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, carrying, moving, holding or
restraining an object or person. It also covers activities that require the use of force or effort, such as
pulling a lever, or operating power tools.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Observe standard precautions for handling ESD-sensitive devices. Assume that all solid-state electronic
devices are ESD-sensitive. Ensure the use of a grounded wrist strap or equivalent while working with
ESD-sensitive devices. Transport, store, and handle ESD-sensitive devices in static-safe environments.
3.2 SITE PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
3.2.1 SITE PLANNING
Site Considerations
The ACU is designed to be located indoors to facilitate ACU coupling of BTS signals and power supply
connections. The input power range of ACU is -20~0 dBm.
The site consideration for RU is listed below:
 The distance between the service antenna of RU and coverage area should satisfy line of visible
requirements for maximum coverage area.
 The maximum fiber length is 8 miles, with a maximum path loss of 6.5dB.
 The system delay of the optical system must be taken into consideration when there are neighboring
BTS sites overlapping in coverage.
Installation Location
Mounting surface shall be capable of supporting the weight of the equipment.
In order to avoid electromagnetic interference, a proper mounting location must be selected to minimize
interference from electromagnetic sources such as large electrical equipment.
Environmental
Humidity has an adverse effect on the reliability of the equipment. It is recommended to install the

been calibrated, users can click to skip the process; if the band never been calibrated, users click
in the step of Calibration, software can still procede to the next step of MU and RU setup, but the
system gain will be a little deviation with normal valuer, so the final output power will be not same with the
target DL output power.
NOTE: Make sure all the ANT ports of RUs are connected with dummy load or antenna system
before proceeding to step 6.
Step 6: Select Calibration and click to enter to Calibratiion page after finishing Parems Setting.
Figure 76: RU Scan
 Automatic calibration no needs to select frequency band, the system will calibration all the band
automatically.
 If users choose Manual calibration, then go to next page to select frequency band to calibrate.
Note: Make sure the ANT port of RU is connected with dummy load or antennas before Calibration.
Several RU can be calibrated simultaneously.
 Automatic calibration
Select “Automatic Calibration”, and click OK to goto calibration process. The process will last 1-25 minites
according to the RU quantities and band quantity.

Step 9: Click to set band related information of RU.
Figure 82: RU Setup
Step 10: Click to enter to [Finish] page after finishing RU setup.

Figure 83: Finish Setup
Note:
As the system calibration process is calibrated for single channel, so if there is more than one same band
input, because of the power superposition, the band total output power will higer than target DL output
power after the calibration is complete.
The calibration work is mainly to set device to reach it’s the oretical gain, so when there are two or more
same bands access into and they have the same input power level, each channel will reach it’s rated
power, so the total output power will be (input A+gain) + (inputB+gain)+…+(inputN+gain). For example, if
there are two 1900MHz bands acess to ACU, each has 10dBm input power, the total output power of RU
1900MHz will be 30dBm+30dBm=33dBm.
Refer to the method below for the gain adjustment:

Suppose a band with N independent inputs, each input signal power are all X dBm. Apparently, there
exists the following relationship between input and output after finished auto communication on WEB GUI:
X dBm + Gain = 30dBm, then the total output power for N channels access is X dBm + Gain + 10*Log(N)
= 30 + 10*Log(N), so Users need to set 10*Log(N) RFU ATT on WEB GUI for each channel.
5.4 RF ROUTING
On Site, checking cable connection is a large work to ensure correct connection. ACU system provides an
automatic RF routing to detect signal from source to end link by ACU RF source itself. It’s visible on the
WebOMT screen to show the RF connection from ACU to OCU and to RU. This function will save much
time on site.

Figure 84: RF Routing Display
Before use RF routing function, users are required to operate ACU Scan and RU Scan in Function Page.
If changed some cable or data wire connection, ACU Scan and RU Scan must be operated again before
other operation, otherwise will cause RF routing incorrect.
