P3YSPOTCELL0007Spotcell 111/112 CU Rev 1.1

SpotCell™ 100 SERIES USER MANUAL Affordable, reliable In-building wireless coverage solutions. Technical Support The SpotCell TM serial number must be available to authorize technical support and/or to establish a return authorization for defective units. The serial number is located on the back of the Coverage Unit (CU) and Donor Unit (DU) as well as the box in which they were delivered. Additional support information may be obtained by accessing the SpotwaveWireless Inc. website at www.spotwave.com. To contact support by telephone, call your local Spotwave vendor, or if you are unable to reach your vendor, contact Spotwave Wireless at 1-877-610- 9586. Important Safety Information Wa r n i n g ! For your safety, beware of power lines and ensure appropriate safety measures are maintained at all times during the installation of the SpotCell equipment. If equipment not shipped with the SpotCell system is to be used during installation or mounting, follow all equipment manufacture’s instructions in proper use to ensure injury is avoided. The DU and CU of the SpotCell are low power transmitters. As with a cell phone antenna, avoid unneccessary contact with the front of the units after installed. Mount the units in a location where people will not approach within 1 meter of the front of the DU and 20 centimeters in front of the CU. The Spotcell 111/112 CU is provisioned with an MCX connector at the back for extended coverage area. This allows customers to extend the coverage area by connecting the RF output to an external antenna through an RG-6 cable. SpotWave Wireless Inc recommends that the maximum antenna gain of the external antenna not exceed 3dBi and that the two antenna be separated by at least 2 meters. The minimum distance for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) to RF signals from the external antenna is less than 1 cm for both the general public and occupational personnels when using an antenna with ii SpotCell a maximum gain of 3dBi. Spotwave Wireless Inc recommends that the external antenna should always have a radome with a separation greater than 1 cm from the radiating element." This manual outlines installation instructions and the appendix offers practical safety tips (see page 43 entitled ‘Safety Hints’). If you are not sure about a safe installation, do not attempt to install it yourself. Call a professional installer for help.

Any repairs or replacements provided by Spotwave outside of the Limited Warranty Period (including repairs to or replacement after the end of the Warranty Period), or in excess of the services provided during the Limited Warranty Period, will subject to Spotwave's then prevailing rates. 3. What are Spotwave's Obligations and how do you make a claim? During the Limited Warranty Period, Spotwave will repair or replace, at Spotwave's sole option, without charge to Purchaser, any defective component of the System, provided that the System is returned promptly upon discovery of the defect and during the Limited Warranty Period. To obtain service, Systems must be returned to an authorized service facility in the original packaging or packaging adequate for shipping, accompanied by Purchaser's sales receipt or comparable substitute proof of sale showing the date of purchase and the serial number of the System. A valid RMA is required prior to any return. To locate your nearest authorized service facility, call Spotwave Customer Service at 1-877-610-9586. Spotwave may, at Spotwave's sole option, use rebuilt, reconditioned, or new parts or components when repairing any System or replace a System with a rebuilt, reconditioned or new System. Repaired Systems will be warranted for a period equal to the remainder of the original Limited Warranty Period for the original System or for 90 days, whichever is longer. All replaced parts, components, boards or equipment shall become the property of Spotwave. If Spotwave determines that any System is not covered by this Limited Warranty, Purchaser must pay the costs for all parts, shipping, and labor charges for the repair or return of such System. 4. What are the Limits on Spotwave's Liability? EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTY IN PARAGRAPH 1, THE SYSTEMS AND ANY ASSOCIATED SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY SPOTWAVE ON AS 'AS IS' BASIS AND THERE ARE NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, ,EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, ARISING BY STATUTE, OPERATION OF LAW, COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OF TRADE OR OTHERWISE, REGARDING THEM OR ANY OTHER PRODUCT OR SERVICE PROVIDED HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH BY SPOTWAVE.

UNIT LABEL LOCATION

Operational Description The SpotCell 111/112 uses an IF frequency to perform gain control and filtering functions in both the downlink and uplink directions. The same LO signal is used to provide both down- conversion and up-conversion of the RF signal. In this configuration the output RF frequency is independent of the actual LO frequency, or any LO frequency error. The LO signal is generated by a frequency sythesizer that is phase locked to a TCXO reference source, which has a maximum frequency error of ± 2.5 ppm (see attached VC-TCXO-208C data sheet). However as noted above, because the same LO is used to convert to and from the IF frequency, this error is not transferred to the output frequency. The only sources of spurious radiation within the SpotCell are the Local Oscialltors used in the uplink and downlink, and the clock frequency used by the on-board micro-controller. The LO frequencies have been selected to prevent in-band spurious signals from being generated. Out of band spurious signals are filtered by SAW RF filters which are located between the uplink and downlink gain stages. The uplink and downlink oscillators and associated components are located in separate shielded compartments to control stray radiation. The microprocessor and associated digital circuits that use the 15MHz clock are housed in their own, separate shielded compartment to ensure that the clock and harmonics do not create spurious signals at the antennas. In addition, each RF stage in the uplink and downlink chain has its own decoupling components to prevent clock and LO signals from entering the signal path through the power supply. The PCB uses 3 separate ground planes to provide shielding and provide a low impedance ground for the RF stages and decoupling components. SpotCell 111/112 uses an AGC circuit in both the uplink and downlink to control the RF power fed to the output stages. These stages are calibrated during manufacture to ensure that output amplifiers are limited to operating at 10dB or more below the maximum output power of the device. This ensures linear operation, and prevents any distortion of the signal that may affect the occupied bandwidth of the signal (modulation). The AGC circuit use logarithmic detectors to measure the AGC output power, together with an integrator and linear voltage controlled amplifier. This AGC configuration allows the system to operate linearly over a wide dynamic range. In addition, a supervisory system is used to monitors the input power level and to shut down the downlink or uplink if the input power exceeds the maximum specified.
