Product Description Cellular Specialties, Inc. (CSI) developed the LCD Model Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) for use in enclosed structures where sufficient signal from local cell sites to operate cell phones was unavailable within the building. It is necessary that sufficient signal be available on the roof of the structure. The BDA is connected to an external antenna, usually on the roof, and to one or more internal antennas placed strategically throughout the area where phone service is desired. The external antenna is usually a directional type such as a “Yagi”. Internal antennas are usually omni directional, although various other types may be used for certain installations. The BDA amplifies both the “uplink” (phone to tower) and “downlink” (tower to phone) signals thus facilitating communications to and from the local cell site. There are seven amplification stages on the downlink and seven on the uplink for a total of +80dB nominal gain for each link. Gain can be set using the LCD display and select/up/down switches. There are also LED indicators on the top cover for power overload and gain reduction to prevent oscillation. LED Indicators Warning: The unit has sensed instability due to insufficient isolation between the inside antenna and the outside antenna, and has reduced the gain of the amplifier. This is done to prevent oscillation, which can interfere with the handsets in the covered area and/or the wireless service provider’s base station. Fault: The gain of the unit has been reduced to a minimum in order (Red) to prevent very strong input signals from overloading the amplifier. The amplifier will attempt to recover from this condition, initially at fifteen-second intervals and then at four-minute intervals. An automatic amplifier safety shutdown circuit is also incorporated that will disable the transmitters should the uplink or downlink overloads be reached to prevent excessive intermodulation and oscillation. The amplifier will periodically attempt to recover from this condition. The BDA is also equipped with an interface connector (RJ-15) designed for use with an optional remote monitor. A second Connector (RJ-11) is used for remote monitoring and shutdown. The RJ-11 pin-out is listed below.

This product has been developed at considerable expense, and disclosure of this information would place Cellular Specialties, Inc. at a competitive disadvantage. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely yours, Burt Salkins Burt Salkins Director of Engineering

MODEL 610-S9 Bi-DIRECTIONAL AMPLIFIER FCC ID LABEL FCC ID NVRCSI610-S9 This device complies with parts 90 and 2 of the FCC rules

March 30, 2005 Mr. Scott Wentworth Retlif Laboratories 101 New Boston Rd. Goffstown, NH 03045 Re: Adjustment of the Model 610-S9 In-building Amplifier in the Field The CSI Model 610-S9 In-Building Amplifier offers only adjustment of gain (below its factory-set maximum gain level) to the technician during installation and maintenance activities. This adjustment is dependent on the physical environment in which the amplifier is to be installed and is described in the Installation and Users Manual. This is the only adjustment accessible without opening the amplifier. Frequency response and gain thresholds are factory set and in no circumstance are they to be adjusted in the field. Regards, Burt Salkins Burt Salkins Director of Engineering

Evaluation of the CSI Model 610-S9 BDA For Compliance with FCC Guidelines For Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields 13 April 2005 General The CSI Model 610-S9 Bi-directional amplifier is considered to be a “mobile” device operating in the Cellular Service authorized under part 90. As such, the equipment is required to be evaluated for RF exposure if operated below 1.5 GHz with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 1.5 watts or more, as defined in 2.1091 of FCC rules. Downlink For the downlink portion of the Model 61-S9 BDA, the maximum rated output power is +30.7dbm (1.17 W). As stated in the Model 610-S9 Manual, the maximum authorized antenna gain is 3 dBi, corresponding to a typical Omni-Directional antenna. Neglecting cable losses, the worst-case EIRP will be 2.30 watts or an ERP of 1.40 watts, (ERP=EIRP/1.64). This is below 1.5 watts and therefore excludes the downlink from routine evaluation. The Cautions in the Model 610-S9 manual clearly define the antenna selection and installation criteria in order to maintain a minimum 20-centimeter separation. Uplink For the uplink portion of the Model 610-S9 BDA, the maximum rated output power is +30.7dbm (1.17 W). As stated in the Model 61-S9 Manual, the maximum authorized antenna gain is 3 dBi, corresponding to a typical Omni-Directional antenna. Neglecting cable losses, the worst-case EIRP will be 2.34 watts or an ERP of 1.42 watts, (ERP=EIRP/1.64). This is below the 1.5 watts and therefore excludes the uplink from routine evaluation. The Cautions in the Model 610-S9 manual clearly define the antenna selection and installation criteria in order to maintain a minimum 20-centimeter separation.

Testing was performed at both the low band edge and high band edge of each pass band. The output of each signal generator was adjusted so that the two output fundamental frequencies were equal in magnitude. At the maximum specified input power levels all intermodulation products were at -13dBm or below. The RF Power Output Rating of the device for the certification grant is derived by summing the levels of the two input signals for each uplink and downlink frequency band. For complete test data, including actual X/Y plots of intermodulation signals, see electronic Test Report Attachments, Intermodulation Characteristics (Two-Tone) Data & RF Power Output Data. OCCUPIED BANDWIDTH Measurement Procedure: The test sample does not have any frequency generating circuits therefore measurements were made to compare the input signal to the output signal. The signal generator output was connected to the spectrum analyzer. A TDMA modulation signal was then applied to the carrier. Waveforms were then noted on an X-Y plot. Next, the signal generator was connected to the EUT and the output of the EUT was connected to the spectrum analyzer. The output waveform after amplification was then compared to the emission mask requirement for TDMA signals (46dB down at plus and minus one channel spacing, 30kHz). Testing was performed at one frequency within each passband (uplink and downlink). For complete test data, see electronic Test Report Attachment, Occupied Bandwidth Data. An explanation of the data is as follows: There are two signals superimposed on each plot, one signal is the waveform before modulation, the other is the modulated carrier. In each case the center of the grid shows a narrowband signal projecting out from the center of the modulation envelope. This signal is actually the stored unmodulated signal. Test Report No. R-4412N3 FCC ID: NVRCSI610-S9 SPURIOUS EMISSIONS AT ANTENNA TERMINALS Measurement Procedure: The signal generator output was connected in turn to the uplink and downlink input ports of the EUT. The input power level was at the maximum level which was ascertained during the Power Output test. A spectrum analyzer was connected to the output of the EUT. The input test frequencies used were three frequencies within each passband (uplink and downlink). The level of any spurious emission was recorded. Testing was performed in the frequency range of 30MHz to 9.5GHz. The spurious emissions limit is -13dBm as specified in FCC Part 90. For complete test data, including harmonic and spurious emissions measured at antenna terminal, see electronic Test Report Attachment, Spurious Emissions At Antenna Terminals Data. EFFECTIVE RADIATED POWER OF SPURIOUS RADIATION Measurement Procedure: The test sample was placed on a 80cm high wooden test stand which was located 3 meters from the test antenna on an FCC listed test site. A signal generator was connected to the input of the amplifier. The signal generator output was set to provide the input power level necessary to achieve maximum output power of the amplifier at 3 frequencies5 within each passband (uplink and downlink). The effective radiated power of each out of band spurious emission was measured using the substitution method specified in TIA/EIA-603. The frequency range of the test was 30MHz – 9.5GHz. The limit for out of band spurious emissions is -13dBm as specified in Part 90. For complete test data, see electronic Test Report Attachment, Radiated Emissions Data. FREQUENCY STABILITY MEASUREMENTS The test sample does not have any frequency determining circuits therefore testing was not required/performed.
