Installation Instruction The Remote Unit, Extension Unit or Master Unit has to be mounted by proffessionel / special trained installer. 1.1. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 1.1.1. General Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.3 Health and Safety Warnings. 1. Do not ins tall the unit in a way or at a place where the specifications outlined in the Environmental and Safety Specifications leaflet of the manufacturer are not met. 2. It is strongly recommended to install the unit vertically. If a different installation of the remote unit is required, please contact customer service for further information. 3. It is recommended only to use the mounting hardware delivered by the manufacturer. If different mounting hardware is used, the specifications for stationary use of the remote unit must not be exceeded. Note: Exceeding the specified load limits may cause the loss of warranty! 4. The unit is considerably heavy. Make sure that a suitable mounting surface is used. Ensure there is adequate manpower to handle the weight of the system. 5. Due to power dissipation, the remote unit may reach a very high temperature. Ensure sufficient airflow for ventilation. Above and below the unit a minimum distance of 300 mm to ceiling, floor, etc. has to be kept. Also observe the instructions in the individual mounting procedures. 6. For outdoor installations, the pre-mounted front cover must be installed. 7. For indoor installations where the ambient temperature can reach above 40°C, the cover has to be removed. 8. When connecting and mounting the cables (RF, optical, mains, ...) ensure no water can penetrate into the unit through these cables. If any different or additional mounting material is used, ensure that the mounting remains as safe as the mounting designed by the manufacturer. Ensure that the static and dynamic strengths are adequate for the environmental conditions of the site. The mounting itself must not vibrate, swing or move in any way that might cause damage to the remote unit. 1.2. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION 1.2.1. General Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.3 Health and Safety Warnings. 1. This unit contains dangerous voltages. Loss of life, severe personal injury or property dam age can be the result if the instructions contained in this manual are not followed. 2. It is com pulsory to ground the unit before connecting power supply. A grounding bolt is provided on the cabinet to connect the ground-bonding cable. 3. Although the Remote Unit is internally protected against overvoltage, it is strongly recommended to earth the antenna cables close to the antenna connectors of the Remote Unit for protection against atmospheric discharge. In areas with strong lightning it is strongly recommended to insert additional lightning protection. 4. If the power supply connector of the Remote Unit is not easily accessible, a disconnect device in the power circuit must be provided within easy reach. 5. Before connecting or disconnecting the power supply connector at the Remote Unit, ensure that power supply is disconnected. 6. Make sure that an appropriate circuit breaker and an overcurrent limiting device are connected between power supply and Remote Unit. 7. A connection of power supply to a power socket requires the power socket to be nearby the Remote Unit. 8. Incorrectly wired connections can destroy electrical and electronic components. 9. To avoid corrosion at the connectors caused by electrochemical processes, the material of the cable connectors must not cause a higher potential difference than 0.6 V (see electrochemical contact series). 10. It is sufficient to tighten the N-antenna connector hand-screwed. Any use of a tool (e.g. pair of pliers) might cause damage to the connector and thus lead to malfunctioning of the Remote Unit. 11. For unstabilized electric networks which frequently generate spikes, it is advised to use a voltage limiting device. 12. The unit complies with the surge requirement according to EN 61000-4-5 (fine protection); however, it is recommended to install an additional medium (via local supply connection) and/or coarse protection (external surge protection) depending on the individual application in order to avoid damage caused by overcurrent. 13. Observe the labels on the front panels before connecting or disconnecting any cables. 1.3. HEALTH AND SAFETY WARNINGS 1.

RF Exposure Info / MPE Sample Calculation Model: ION‐M8P S FCC‐ID: XS5‐M8PS The Andrew ION‐M8P S is a multi‐operator remote unit with various extension units. It is used in conjunction with a master unit in the ION optical distribution system. This system transports the entire 800 MHz LMR frequency band, providing a cost‐efficient solution for distributing capacity from one or more base stations. The ION‐M8P S transports signals on the RF layer in a very inexpensive manner. This means that multiple operators and multiple technologies are moved simultaneously from a cluster of base stations to a remote location over the same fiber. The ION optical distribution system is a coverage solution for dense urban areas, tunnels, subway, airports, convention centers, high‐rise buildings and other locations where physical structures increase path loss. It has been specifically designed to reduce zoning problems and to provide homogeneous coverage. The compact, mechanical design is specifically architected to mount at poles or along side structures in such a way that it has a minimum visual impact. The ION‐M8P S performance is available both in single or multi‐band configuration (ION‐ M7P/8P S) supporting 700 MHz, and 800 MHz in parallel. It has been specifically tested and optimized for TDMA, CDMA2000, and WCDMA. Furthermore it is provisioned for future improvements to modulations (e.g. HSPA, EV‐DO and OFDM) and frequency bands. In addition it is backwards compatible to legacy standards such as Analog. The ION is easily set‐up and supervised via a graphical user interface (GUI). Remote units can be commissioned through the use of built‐in test equipment. An auto leveling function compensates for the optical link loss making installation easy and quick. The entire system may be monitored remotely via an Andrew OMC. This is a comprehensive management platform with SNMP protocol and X.733 standard implemented. Should a sophisticated interface not be required, the master unit can be directly connected to the alarm interface of a base station via relay alarming. The specific device generally will be professionally installed. Hereby the gain of the finally installed antenna(s), cable attenuation and antenna height will be defined site specific at the time of licensing with the appropriate FCC Bureau(s). The maximum permissible exposure limit is defined in 47 CFR 1.1310 (B).

What you have to do for calculate the minimum distance were the power density limit is met: 1) If you have one path, you have to put you special values in the following formula. n nn n S GP R 4 (Distance for one carrier) Limits for General Population / Uncontrolled Exposures Frequency Range (MHz) Power Density (mW/cm 2 ) 300 – 1500 S = f/1500 1550 – 100,000 S = 1 2) If you have more than one path , you must add the individual terms quadratic. n nn n S GP R 4 (Distance for individual carrier) RRRRR n 22 3 2 2 2 1 ... (See previous page) For example: The EUT operates at one frequency band: 851 ‐ 869 MHz. The max measured conducted output power is 44.0 dBm (25.1 W). Calculation with maximum possible antenna gain and without cable loss: Frequency [MHz] Max Power out [dBm] Max. possible Antenna gain, without cable loss [dBi] Max. Distance [m] 851 44 18.15 4.7971 R min > 4.797 m For more accurate calculation, the cable loss and actual antenna gain have to be included in the finally system. The antenna(s) used with device must be fixed‐mounted on permanent structures with a distance to any human body to comply with the RF Exposure limit.
