ADMONISHMENTS
Important safety admonishments are used throughout 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.
Warn ing: Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause severe 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.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Danger: This equipment uses a Class 1 Laser according to FDA/CDRH rules. Laser radiation
can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not
look directly into the optical transceiver of any digital unit or exposure to laser radiation may
result. An optical power meter should be used to verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood
MUST be immediately placed over any radiating transceiver or optical fiber connector to avoid
the potential of dangerous amounts of radiation exposure. This practice also prevents dirt
particles from entering the adapter or connector.
Danger: Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Exposure to laser radiation may result.
Do not assume laser power is turned-off or the fiber is disconnected at the other end.
Danger: 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 location or during a lightning storm.
Warn ing: The HU is powered by 48 VDC power which is supplied over customer-provided
wiring. To prevent electrical shock when installing or modifying the HU power wiring,
disconnect the wiring at the power source before working with uninsulated wires or terminals.
Caution: Always allow sufficient fiber length to permit routing of patch cords and pigtails
without severe bends. Fiber optic patch cords or pigtails may be permanently damaged if bent
or curved to a radius of less than 2 inches (50 mm).
Each respective SMR, Cellular, and PCS system in the SCS platform is singularly FCC and IC
approved. Information in this manual explains applicable portions of these systems.
FCC: The Digivance SCS system complies with the applicable sections of Title 47 CFR Parts
22, 24, and 90. Installation requirements the licensee needs to follow are listed in Title 47 CFR
90.635. This document may be found at the following website: http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/
cfr/waisidx_03/47cfr90_03.html.
UL/CUL: The Host Unit complies with UL and CUL 60950 Standard for Safety for
Information Technology Equipment including Electrical Business Equipment.
The Remote Unit complies with NEMA Type 6, UL and CUL 50, Standard for Enclosures for
Electrical Equipment.
The Remote Unit provides the degree of protection specified by IP67 as defined in IEC
Publication 529.
The Remote Unit complies with UL and CUL 60950 and UL 50 as Communication Service
Equipment under the DUZO category.

FDA/CDRH: This equipment uses a Class 1 LASER according to FDA/CDRH Rules. This
product conforms to all applicable standards of 21 CFR Part 1040.

2SCS SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Digivance Long Range Coverage Solution (LRCS) system is an RF signal transport system
that provides long-range RF coverage to areas where it is impractical to place an Enhanced Base
Transceiver Station (EBTS) at the antenna site. High real estate costs and community
restrictions on tower and equipment locations often make it difficult to install the EBTS at the
same location as the antenna. The LRCS system overcomes equipment placement problems by
hubbing base stations at a central location and placing antennas at remote locations with
minimal real estate requirements. The LRCS system transports RF signals to remote locations to
expand coverage into areas not receiving service or to extend coverage into difficult to reach
areas such as canyons, tunnels, or underground roadways.
The SCS system provides the same functionality as the LRCS system but incorporates a low
profile, low power, low cost remote unit. The SCS system remote unit complements the high
power remote unit used with LRCS systems. The primary application includes urban areas
where multiple, strategically placed, low power remote units provide better coverage than high
power remote units.
2.1Basic SCS System Components
The basic components of a typical Digivance SCS system and their function are shown in
Figure 1-1. A basic SCS system consists of a Host Unit (HU) and a Remote Unit (RU). The HU
consists of a rack-mountable chassis that is designed for use in an indoor environment. The RU
consists of a sealed enclosure that is designed for use in an outdoor environment. Control and
monitoring functions are provided by the Digivance Element Management System (EMS).
