2.1 SYSTEM DIAGRAM
Figure 3: System Diagram
On the DL, signals from the BTSs or BDA are converted into optical signals after amplification in the
MU.Then the optical signals are transmitted to the RU via optical fiber. The Optical TX/RX Module of RU
converts the DL optical signals into RF signals. After amplification, the signals are transmitted from RU
ANT port to the service antenna using 50Ohm coaxial cable.
On the UL, the signals transmitted by the mobile are converted into optical signals, and then via the UL
optical fiber, the signals are transmitted to MU, which then converts the optical signals back to RF signals
and send to BTS or BDA via 50Ohm coaxial cable.

3 INSTALLATION
3.1 WARNINGS AND ALERTS
Laser
Laser light can cause damage to eyes. Laser light is not visible. Viewing it directly does not cause pain.
The iris of the eye will not close when viewing a bright light. Consequently, serious damage to the retina
of the eye is possible. NEVER LOOK INTO THE END OF A FIBER WHICH MAY HAVE A LASER
COUPLED TO IT.
Radio Frequency Energies
There may be situations, particularly for workplace environments near high-powered RF sources, where
recommended limits for safe exposure of human beings to RF energy could be exceeded. In such cases,
restrictive measures or actions may be necessary to ensure the safe use of RF energy.
High Voltage
The equipment has been designed and constructed to prevent practicable danger, as far as reasonably
possible. Any work activity on or near equipment involving installation, operation or maintenance must be
free from danger, as far as reasonably possible.
Where there is a risk of damage to electrical systems involving adverse weather, extreme temperatures,
wet, corrosive or dirty conditions, flammable or explosive atmospheres, the system must be suitably
installed to prevent danger.
Protective Earthing
Equipment provided for the purpose of protecting individuals from electrical risk must be suitable for the
purpose and properly maintained and used.
Handling Precautions
This covers a range of activities including lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, carrying, moving, holding or
restraining an object or person. It also covers activities that require the use of force or effort, such as
pulling a lever, or operating power tools.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Observe standard precautions for handling ESD-sensitive devices. Assume that all solid-state electronic
devices are ESD-sensitive. Ensure the use of a grounded wrist strap or equivalent while working with
ESD-sensitive devices. Transport, store, and handle ESD-sensitive devices in static-safe environments.

3.2 SITE PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
3.2.1 SITE PLANNING
Site Considerations
The MU is designed to be located indoors to facilitate coupling of BTS signals and power supply
connections. The input range of MU RF unit is 10~30 dBm.
The site consideration for RU is listed below:
The distance between the service antenna of RU and coverage area should satisfy line of sight
requirements for maximum coverage area.
The maximum fiber length is 8 miles, with a maximum path loss of 6.5dBo.
The system delay of the optical system must be taken into consideration when there are neighboring
BTS sites overlapping in coverage.
Installation Location
Mounting surface shall be capable of supporting the weight of the equipment.
In order to avoid electromagnetic interference, a proper mounting location must be selected to minimize
interference from electromagnetic sources such as large electrical equipment.
Environmental
Humidity has an adverse effect on the reliability of the equipment. It is recommended to install the
equipment in locations having stable temperature and unrestricted air-flow.
The installation location for the system should be well ventilated. The equipment has been designed to
operate at the temperature range and humidity level as stated in the product specifications.
Powering
The power supply unit (PSU) provides power to all modules within the equipment. Depending on the
product variant, it is recommended that the PSU operates on a dedicated AC circuit breaker or fused
circuit.
Grounding Requirement
Verify that the equipment has been well grounded. This includes antennas and all cables connected to
the system. Ensure lightning protection for the antennas is properly grounded.
Cable Routing
Depending on equipment configuration, a variety of types of cables are connected to the MU and RU:
coaxial cables, optical fibers, power cable, communication cable, and commissioning cable. Where
applicable, ensure cables are properly routed and secured so that they are not damaged.

Manual Handling
During transportation and installation, take necessary handling precautions to avoid potential physical
injury to the installation personnel and the equipment.
3.2.2 SYSTEM INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
Working space available for installation and maintenance for each mounting arrangement. Ensure
unrestricted airflow.
Ensure earthing point is within reach of the ground wire. (2m; 6 ft. 10 in.).
Ensure a power source is within reach of the power cord and the power source has sufficient
capacity.
Where appropriate, ensure unused RF connectors are terminated.
Where appropriate, ensure unused optical fiber connectors are protected.
Do not locate the equipment near large transformers or motors that may cause electromagnetic
interference.
Reduce signal loss in feeder cable by minimizing the length and number of RF connections.
Ensure the equipment will be operated within the stated environment (refer to datasheet).
Where needed, couple BTS RF signal with a coupler to prevent damaging the equipment.
Where appropriate, confirm available of suitably terminated grade of RF and optical fiber.
Observe handling of all cables to prevent damage.

3.3 INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
3.3.1 GOODS INWARDS INSPECTION
ComFlex was factory tested, inspected, packed, and delivered to the carrier with utmost care. Do not
accept shipment from carrier which shows damage or shortage until the carrier’s agent endorses a
statement of the irregularity on the face of the carrier’s receipt. Without documentary evidence, a claim
cannot be processed.
Open and check each package against the packing list. For any shortage, contact Comba Telecom
Systems. Do not remove items from packing materials until installation.
3.3.2 TOOLS
See Appendix A for a full list of tools required for installation and maintenance.
3.3.3 PREPARATION
Optical Fiber:
Fiber optic cables require proper handling. Do not stretch, puncture, or crush the fiber cable(s) with
staples, heavy equipment, doors, etc.
Always maintain the minimum bending radius specified by the cable manufacturer. The minimum
bend radius is usually 10 times the cable’s outer diameter. In the case of single optical fiber that is not
in a cable, the minimum bending radius to be observed is 3cm. (1.2”)
3.3.4 MU ASSEMBLING
ComFlex Master Unit consists of 4 parts: Chassis, RFU, FOU and PSU. All the units are packed
separately. Follow the steps below to assemble.
