PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USER’S MANUAL

Only for in-building applications

One must be aware that FCC regulation mandate that this repeater is to be used only for in-building applications and thus feed passive or active DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems) accordingly.

FCC RF Exposure Limits

This unit complies with FCC RF exposure limits for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment can only be installed in in-building applications, driving passive or active DAS systems. All antennas must be operated at a minimum distance of 35 cm between the radiator and any person’s body.

Antenna Installation

Installation of an antenna must comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements. The antenna used for this transmitter must be mounted on permanent structures.

The FCC regulation mandate that the EIRP of type B signal boosters should not exceed 5W.

Therefore the max antenna gain allowed for this type of signal booster should be limited to the values given by equation (1) for the service antenna and equation (2) for the donor antenna

Equation (1) - Max SERVICE antenna gain

Max SERVICE antenna gain (dBi) = 37dBm[EIRP] – (33dbi – 10log(N)(dB) – cable loss in dB).

For example:

No. of Antennas Cable Losses Max Allowed Antenna Gain

4 2 37 - (33+6-2) = 0 dBd

1 2 37- (33+0-2) = 6 dBd

10 2 37- (33+10-2) = -2dBd

Note :0dBd = 2.15dBi

Equation (2) - Max DONOR antenna gain

Max DONOR antenna gain (dBi) = 37 – (27dbi - cable losses in dbi).

AXELL D-MBR 3007-3008-PS NFPA REPEATER PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USER’S MANUAL

Compliance with FCC deployment rule regarding the radiation of noise

Good engineering practice must be used in regard to the signal booster’s noise radiation. Thus, the gain of the signal booster should be set so that the EIRP of the output noise from the signal booster should not exceed the level of -43 dBm in 10 kHz measurement bandwidth.

In the event that the noise level measured exceeds the aforementioned value, the signal booster gain should be decreased accordingly.

In general, the ERP of noise on a spectrum more than 1 MHz outside of the pass band should not exceed -70 dBm in a 10 kHz measurement bandwidth.

The 3308 signal booster has a noise level of -43 dBm in 10 kHz measurement at 1 MHz spectrum outside the passband of the signal booster and an in-band noise level at around -37 dBm in a 10 kHz bandwidth. Therefore, the noise at the antenna input port should be calculated based on equation (3).

Equation (3) - Input Noise to service antenna

Input Noise to service antenna:

-43 dBm + Service Antenna gain – Antenna splitter losses in dBi – cable loss in dB

Example:

Signal booster connected to 10 service antennas with a 100m long ½ inch cable.

• Losses of such a cable with the connectors = ~ 11dB

• Gain = ~ 2 dBi

Assuming 10 service antennas: antenna splitter losses = 11 dB

Based on equation (3) Input antenna noise (to the antenna) = -43+2-11 -11=-63 dBm

The inband input noise to the antenna should be -37+2 -11-11= -57dbm

NOTE: In this example you may be required in general to add an external bandpass filter that would

attenuate by additional 7 dB the out of band noise.

Conclusion:

Good engineering practice requires that in general when the out of band noise measured at the service antenna input is more than -70 dbm per 10 kHz measurement bandwidth, an external band pass filter should be added to attenuate the out of band noise level.

Compliance with IC

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

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.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USER’S MANUAL

This equipment complies with IC RSS-102 radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 35 cm between the antenna and your body.

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.

La puissance de sortie nominale indiquée par le fabricant pour cet appareil concerne son fonctionnement avec porteuse unique. Pour des appareils avec porteuses multiples, on doit réduire la valeur nominale de 3.5dB, surtout si le signal de sortie est retransmis et qu'il peut causer du brouillage aux utilisateurs de bandes adjacentes. Une telle réduction doit porter sur la puissance d'entrée ou sur le gain, et ne doit pas se faire au moyen d'un atténuateur raccordé à la sortie du dispositif.

Cet appareil est conforme aux limitations de la norme IC RSS-102 concernant l’exposition aux radiations dans un environnement non contrôlé. Cet appareil doit être installé et utilisé avec une distance minimale de 30 cm entre l’antenne et le corps de l’utilisateur.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND USER’S MANUAL

1 Introduction

D-MBR 3007-3008 PS NFPA (Digital Multi Band Repeater for Public Safety) is a highpower digital multi-channel signal booster (DCSB). It features an array of up to 12 DSP based, software-controlled, variable bandwidth filters, that are user-programmable across the 700 and 800 MHz bands.

D-MBR 3007-3008 PS NFPA supports all public safety technologies. For each filter, the user can specify the start and stop frequencies with different options varying in time delay and filter slope. This allows the engineer to trade off adjacent channel rejection and time delay interference against a wider coverage area, permitting D-MBR 30073008 PS NFPA usage in applications where no other booster solution will work.

Every parameter of D-MBR 3007-3008 PS NFPA, including filter tuning and selection, can be controlled via web based management. The patented Axell Wireless’ digital RF filter enables simple initial setup for any channel plan and if necessary, allows some basic reconfiguration due to re-banding.

SALC-Smart ALC mechanism to protect the digital signal booster from oscillation and shutdown the signal booster when required.

With the NFPA option, this Axell product meets the rigid requirements as defined by the NFPA and International Fire Code developmental organizations. The amplifier meets NEMA4 compliance for hose-down and provides all Alarming outputs as defined by NFPA 2010, Chapter 24, including system and antenna failures.

Axell also offers the following options to meet additional code compliance needs:

• 12 or 24 hour compliant UPS back up – meets NEMA 4 and alarming requirements

• External Phone Dialer – meets NEMA 4 and allows Dial-out to paging devices when

an alarm is triggered

To meet the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requirements, power to the Repeater is provided via a UPS and the status of the UPS, Repeater and DAS system (antennas) is monitored via alarm connections to the Fire Department Control Box.

NOTE: An alternative to the Fire Department Control Box connections is to connect the D-MBR PS

NFPA and UPS dry contact alarms to an Automatic Dialer. Axell Wireless recommends the AD-2000 Automatic Voice/Pager Dialer System.

The alarms are connected as follows:

• From the UPS - the power indicator alarms are connected directly to the Fire

Department Control Box.

• From the Repeater – the Repeater status and antenna status alarms are connected

to the Control Box

1.4 Smart-ALC Function

The Repeater’s power amplifier includes power-monitoring circuits with Automatic Level Control (ALC) that prevents excessive output power while maintaining the power amplifier linearity

The Smart Automatic Level Control (Smart-ALC) is an innovative algorithm for automatic Repeater gain adjustment. Combined with advanced control algorithms, SALC is capable of learning the traffic load characteristics and adjusting the Repeater RF Gain to the desired value. Smart-ALC effectively reduces isolation problems.

NOTE: To reset the Repeater to its highest set gain value, disconnect the Repeater power cable for

several seconds and re-connect.
