documentation:
CAUTION!Caution text indicates operations or steps that could cause personal injury, induce a safety
problem in a managed device, destroy or corrupt information, or interrupt or stop services.
NOTE:Note text contains information about special circumstances.
Standards Certification
FCC: This equipment complies with the applicable sections of Title 47 CFR, Part 22
(800 MHz Cellular), Part 24 (1900 MHz - PCS), Part 90 (800/900 - SMR), and Part
27 (700 MHz, 2100 MHz - AWS).
IC: This equipment complies with the applicable sections of RSS-131 (800/900 –
SMR), RSS-132 (800 - Cellular), and RSS-133 (1900 – PCS). The term “IC:” before
the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada Technical
Specifications were met.
Preface
The Manufacturer's rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier
operation. For situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating
would have to be reduced by 3.5 dB, especially where the output signal is
re-radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. This power
reduction is to be by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an
attenuator at the output of the device.
NOTE:The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has developed guidelines for evaluation of
human exposure to RF emissions. The guidelines incorporate limits for Maximum Permissible
Exposure (MPE) for power density of transmitter operating at frequencies between 300 kHz and 100
GHz. Limits have been set for portable, mobile, and fixed equipment. ADC products fall in the
category of fixed equipment; products intended to be permanently secured and exposures are
evaluated for distances greater than 20cm (7-7/8”). Portable devices fall into exposures of less
than 20cm, where SAR evaluations are used.
Antenna gain is restricted to 1.5 W ERP (2.49 W EIRP) in order to satisfy RF exposure
compliance requirements. If higher than 1.5 W ERP, routine MPE evaluation is needed.
The antennas should be installed to provide at least 20cm from all persons to satisfy MPE
requirements of FCC Part 2, 2.1091.
UL/CUL: This will be installed in a restricted access location. This equipment
complies, per UL and CUL 50, Standard for Enclosures for Electrical Equipment.
UL/CUL: This equipment complies with UL and CUL 60950-1 Standard for Safety
for Information Technology Equipment, including Electrical Business Equipment.
UL/CUL: All InterReach Spectrum RAUs are Plenum rated and suitable for use in
environmental air space in accordance with Section 300-22(C) of the National
InterReach Spectrum supports up to eight frequency bands in a single system.
Each antenna location supports those bands in modular, group pairings. Each
location includes a Main Remote Access Unit (MRAU), which can power up to three
additional Secondary Remote Access Units (SRAUs). An MRAU supports two
frequency bands, and each SRAU can support up to two frequency bands, for a
total of up to eight frequency bands. MRAUs and SRAUs are grouped logically,
based on common service provider groupings and include, as an example:
•85
•70
•80
•19

instructions.
NOTE:It is common practice to install passive antennas below the ceiling. If you install a passive antenna
above the ceiling, when estimating the antenna coverage area, account for additional loss due to
the ceiling material.
3Connect a passive multi-band antenna to the N connector on each RAU using
coaxial cable with the least amount of loss possible. (See “Appendix C: Omni
Antenna” on page 23 for information on the Omni Antenna ports.)
CAUTION!Firmly hand-tighten the N connector. DO NOT over-tighten the connector.

NOTE:The IFEU should be powered up before starting this procedure; see the InterReach Spectrum
