ADMONISHMENTS
Important safety admonishments are used thr oughout this manual to warn of possible hazards to
persons or equipment. An admonishment identifies a possible hazard and then explains what
may happen if the hazard is not avoided. The admonishments — in the form of Dangers,
Warnings, and Cautions — must be followed at all times. These warnings are flagged by use of
the triangular alert icon (seen below) and are listed in descending order of severity of injury or
damage and likelihood of occurrence.
Danger: Danger is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Warning: Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause s evere personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Caution: Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor
personal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Warning: Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when
installing or using electrically-powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install or
use electrical equipment in a wet loca tion or during a lightning storm.
STANDARDS CERTIFICATION
FCC: This equipment complies with the appl icable sections of Title 47 CFR Part 90 (SMR).
UL/CUL: This equipment complies with UL and CUL 50 Standard for Enclosures for
Electrical Equipment. This equipment provides the degree of protection specified by IP43 as
defined in IEC Publication 529.

The rear access Host Unit serves as the EBTS servicing unit for the Digivance LRCS system. A
typical LRCS system consists of a Host Unit (HU) and a R emote Unit (RU). The HU consists of
an electro nic chassis as sembly that m ounts in a st andard equipm ent rack. Th e RU consists of
multiple electronic and optical modules that mount in either an outdoor cabinet or an indoor
mounting shelf. The HU and the RU together comp rise an L RCS system. Various ac cessory
items are also available for use with the basic L RC S s ystem. All items refe renced as “accessory
items” are not furnished with the basi c system and must be purchased separately.
2HOST UNIT DESCRIPTION
The HU, shown in Figure 1, consists of an electronic circuit board assembly and a fan assembly
that are m oun t ed within a powd er-pai n t co at ed s heet metal en cl os u re. Th e en cl osur e p ro vides a
mounting point for the circuit board and fan assemblies and controls RF emissions. The only
user-replaceable component is the fan assembly. The HU is designed for use within a noncondensing indoor environment such as inside a wiring closet or cabinet. The RF connectors,
optical connectors, alarm output connectors, DC power terminal strip, and grounding lug are
mounted on the HU rear side. The On/Off power switch, LED indicators, service interface
connector , and Contr oller Area Networ k (CAN) connectors are mounted on the HU front panel.
ADCP-75-169 • Issue 1 • June 2004
2.1Mounting
The HU is intended for rack-mount applications. A pair of reversible mounting brackets is
provided that allow the HU to be mounted in either a 19-inch or 23-inch EIA or WECO
equipment rack. When installed, the front panel of the HU is flush with the front of the rack.
Screws are provided for securing the HU to the equipment rack.
The RF signal connections between the HU and the EBTS are supported through either two
(non-diversity unit) or three (diversity unit) N-type female connectors. On non-diversity units,
one connector is used for the forward path RF signal. The other connector is used for the reverse
path RF signal. On diversity units, a third connector is used for the diversity path RF signal. In
installations where multiple EBTS’s will be connected to a single HU, it will usually be
necessary to install a Primary Interface Panel and an Expansion Panel (accessory items) to
support the interface between the HU and the EBTS. The HU should be as close as possible to
the EBTS to mini mize cab le losses.
2.3Optical Connection
Optical connections between the HU and the RU (STM) are supported through either two (nondiversity unit) or three (diversity unit) SC-type optical connector ports. On non-diversity units,
one port is used for connecting the forward path optical signal and the other port is used for
connecting the primary reverse path optical signal. On diversity units, a third optical port is used
for connecting the di versity reverse path optical signal.
2.4Controller Area Network Interface Connection
Controller Area Network (CAN) interface connections between multiple HU’s are supported by
a pair of RJ-45 jacks. One of the jacks is designated as the network IN port and the other jack is
designated as the network OUT port. The CAN interface allows up to 24 HU’s to be connected
together (in daisy- chain fashion) and controlled through a single EMS computer.
2.5Service Interface Connection
The service interface connection between the HU and the EMS computer is supported by a
single DB-9 female conne ctor. The ser vice connector provides an RS-232 DTE inte rface. When
multiple HU’s are networked together, the supporting EMS computer may be connected to the
service connector of any one of the networked HU’s.
2.6Powering
The HU is powered by ± 21 to ± 60 VDC power (nominal ± 24 or ± 48 VDC). The power is fed to
the HU through a screw-down type terminal strip located on the rear side of the unit. Power to
the HU must be supplied through a fuse panel such as the PowerWorx 20-position GMT fuse
panel (available separately). The power circuit for each HU must be protected with a 3 Amp
GMT fuse. An On/Off switch is provided on the HU front panel.
2.7User Interface
The HU user interface consi sts of the v arious connectors, switches, termi nals, and LEDs that are
provided on the HU front a nd rear panels. The HU user interface points are indicated in Figure 2
and described in Table 1.
