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 section 1.3. 1. Do not install the unit in a way or at a place where the specifications outlined in the Environmental and Safety Specifications leaflet of the supplier are not met. 2. It is strongly recommended to install the unit vertically. 3. When mounting the Remote Unit, the connector flange with the cables must point to the ground. A maximum tilt angle of 25° to the horizontal position of the connector flange must be kept in each mounting direction. If a different installation of the Remote Unit is required, please contact customer service for further information. 4. It is recommended only to use the mounting hardware delivered by the supplier. 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! 5. 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. 6. Due to power dissipation, the Remote Unit may reach a very high temperature. Ensure sufficient airflow for ventilation. A minimum distance of 300 mm to ceiling, floor, etc. must be maintained above and below the unit. Also, observe the instructions in the individual mounting procedures 7. For outdoor installations, the pre-mounted front cover must be installed. 8. For indoor installations where the ambient temperature can reach above 40°C, the cover must be removed. 9. 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 section 1.3. This unit contains dangerous voltages. Loss of life, severe personal injury, or property damage can be the result if the instructions contained in this manual are not followed. 1. It is compulsory to ground (earth) the unit before connecting the power supply. A grounding bolt is provided on the cabinet to connect the ground-bonding cable. 2. Although the Remote Unit is internally protected against overvoltage, it is strongly recommended to ground (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 install additional lightning protection. 3. If the mains connector of the Remote Unit is not easily accessible, a disconnect device in the mains power circuit must be provided within easy reach. 4. Before connecting or disconnecting the mains connector at the Remote Unit, ensure that mains power supply is disconnected. 5. Make sure that an appropriate circuit breaker acting as a disconnect device (as required by IEC/EN60950-1) and an overcurrent limiting device are connected between mains power and the Remote Unit. 6. A connection of the mains supply to a power socket requires the power socket to be nearby the Remote Unit. 7. Incorrectly wired connections can destroy electrical and electronic components. 8. 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). 9. Use an appropriate torque wrench for the coupling torque (25 N-m / 19 ft lb) of 7/16-DIN connectors with 1 ¼-inch opening to tighten the 7/16-type antenna connectors. For example, use torque wrench item no. 244377 available from the Andrew e-catalog. Do NOT use your hands or any other tool (e.g. a pair of pliers)! This might cause damage to the connector and lead to a malfunction of the Remote Unit. 10. For unstabilized electric networks, which frequently generate spikes, the use of a voltage limiting device is advised. 11. The unit complies with the surge requirement according to EN 61000-4-5 (fine protection); however, installation of an additional medium (via local supply connection) and/or coarse protection (external surge protection) is recommended depending on the individual application in order to avoid damage caused by overcurrent. 12. Observe the labels on the front panels before connecting or disconnecting any cables. 1.3. HEALTH AND SAFETY WARNINGS 1. Only suitably qualified personnel are allowed to work on this unit and only after becoming familiar with all safety notices, installation, operation and maintenance procedures contained in this manual. 2. Read and obey all the warning labels attached to the unit. Make sure that the warning labels are kept in a legible condition and replace any missing or damaged labels. 3. Obey all general and regional installation and safety regulations relating to work on high voltage installations, as well as regulations covering correct use of tools and personal protective equipment. 4. Keep operating instructions within easy reach and make them available to all users. 5. It is the responsibility of the network provider to implement prevention measures to avoid health hazards which may be associated to radiation from the antenna(s) connected to the unit. 6. Laser radiation! Do not stare into the beam; do not view it directly or with optical instruments. 7. For installations which have to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, the antenna selection and installation must be completed in a way to ensure compliance with those FCC requirements. Depending on the RF fr…

RF Exposure Info / MPE Sample Calculation Model: ION-M4 ENW FCC-ID: XS5-M4 The ION-M4 ENW is a robust, intelligent optical Remote Unit to meet designer’s requirements for high reliability and dual-band capability. The ION-M4 ENW is a multi- operator dual-band Remote Unit used in conjunction with a Master Unit in the ION optical distribution system. This system transports LMR400 signals within the 400 MHz frequency range. The ION system transports signals on the RF layer in a very inexpensive manner, enabling coverage driven roll-out. The ION optical distribution system is a costefficient coverage solution for dense urban areas, tunnels, subways, railways, roadways, airports, convention centers and other locations where physical structures increase path loss. The ION has been specifically designed to reduce zoning problems. The compact mechanical design is architected to mount alongside structures in such a way that it has a minimal visual impact. The ION can be easily set-up and supervised by a graphical user interface (GUI). An auto leveling function compensates for the optical link loss making installation easy. The entire system can be monitored remotely by the Andrew OMC. The AndrewOMC uses SNMP protocol and is compliant to X.733 standard. Should a sophisticated management interface not be required, the Master Unit can be directly connected to the alarm interface of a base station via alarm relay contacts. 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).

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.
