Warnings and Admonishments
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.
The equipment has been designed and constructed to prevent, as far as reasonably, practicable danger. Any work activity on
or near equipment involving installation, operation or maintenance must be, as far as reasonably, free from danger.
Where there is a risk of damage to electrical systems involv ing adver se w eath er, ex tr eme temperatures, wet, corrosive or
dirty conditions, flammable or explosive atmospheres, the system must be suitably installed to prevent danger.
Equipment provided for the purpose of protecting individuals from electrical risk must be suitable for the purpose and properly
maintained and used. This covers a range of activities inclu ding lif tin g, lowering, pushing, pulling, carrying, moving, holding or
restraining an object, animal or person from the equipment. It also covers activities that require the use of force or effort, such
as pulling a lever, or operating power tools.
Where some of the abovementioned activities are required, the equipment must be handled with care to avoid being
damaged.
Observe standard precautions for handling ESD-sensitive devices. Assume that all solid-state electronic devices are ESDsensitive. Ensure the use of a grounded wrist strap or equivalent while work ing with ESD-sensitive devices. Transport, store,
and handle ESD-sensitive devices in static-safe environments.
RF Safety
WARNING! To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, each individual antenna used for this transmitter
must be installed to provide a separation distance greater than 115 cm or more from all persons during normal operation and
must not be co-located with any other antenna for meeting RF exposure requirements.
WARNING! Antenna gain should not exceed 15 dBi.
WARNING! Each individual antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance greater than
115 cm or more from all persons and must not be co-located with any other antenna for meeting RF exposure requirements.
WARNING! The design of the antenna installation needs to be implemented in such a way so as to ensure RF radiation
safety levels and non-environmental pollution during operation.
Compliance with RF safety requirements:
• Corning products have no inherent significant RF radiation.
• The RF level on the downlink is very low at the downlink ports. Therefore, there is no dangerous RF radiation when the
antenna is not connected.
Power requirements for DC Inputs
WARNING! Only use a special DC supply cable with connector
WARNING! Always keep DC IN connectors connected during the product operation
WARNING! Disconnect all power from the equipment by means of an external circuit breaker before connecting or
disconnecting the DC IN connectors.

Laser Safety
Fiber optic ports of the HX system emit invisible laser radiation at the 1310/1550 nm wavelength window.
The laser apertures /outputs are the green SC/APC Bulkhead adapters located on the front panel of the equipment.
The product is Class 1/Hazard level 1
External optical power is less than 10 mW, Internal optical power is less than 500 mW.
To avoid eye injury never look directly into the optical ports, patchcords or optical cables. Do not stare into beam or view
directly with optical instruments. Always assume that optical outputs are on.
Only technicians familiar with fiber optic safety practices and procedures should perform optical fiber connections and
disconnections of HX devices and the associated cables.
HX has been tested and certified as a Class 1 Laser product to IEC 60825-1. It also meets the requirements for a Hazard
Level 1 laser product to IEC 60825-2 +a2(2010) to the same degree.
Care of Fiber Optic Connectors
Do not remove the protective covers on the fiber optic connectors until a connection is ready to be made. Do not leave
connectors uncovered when not connected.
The tip of the fiber optic connector should not come into contact with any object or dust.

HX 2.5 GHz TDD is a m id-po wer, rem ote s olution des igned t o be in tegrat ed into exis ting M obileAc cess 1000 (MA1 000)
and MobileAccess2000 (M A2000) Distributed Antenna S ystems (DAS) already deployed in the f ield. It is a fiber fed,
compact and scalable multi-service platform designed to complement the MA1000/MA2000 and other HX4 and HX
WCS remotes while prov iding complete RF open space coverage f or large-scale public venues such as cam puses,
stadiums, convention centers, hotels, airports and train stations.
Using low-loss fiber opt ic c abling, r em ote units can c over d istances of up to 1.4 mi (2 km ) f rom the BT S sig nal sour ces
at the headend. HX 2.5 G Hz TDD requires minim um addition of hardware to the headend (BT SC 2500) and utili zes
existing fiber and antenn a overlay. It also includ es test ports, enabling to measure the s ignals at the remote without
disconnecting the antenna cable and affecting services on the main stream. HX 2.5 GHz TDD MIMO takes full
advantage of MIMO technology by using spatial multiplexing to deliver higher s pectral efficiency and preventi ng the
degradation of quality while significantly increasing throughput on the same spectrum.

• Operator-Grade Operation: Advanced signal handling and management ensures operator-grade performance in
multi-operator deployments.
•Design and Deployment Flexibility: Antenna splitting schemes are possible due to the higher power output
capability.
•Compatibility: Connects to existing MobileAccess1000, MobileAccess2000 and additional HX4 and HX W CS
remote units to allow common antenna overlay; Shares a common headend and EMS in a single deplo yment)

1.2 System Architecture
Figure 1-2 shows an example of SISO scenarios in a system topology where the HX 2.5 GHz TDD is connected to
existing HX4 and M A2 000 Q X rem otes . The HX 2.5 GHz TD D remote is installed bet ween the ex isting remote unit ( e.g.
HX, MA2000 QX) and the optical converter unit (i.e. OCH) and interfaces them both via fiber connections.
In the downlink, at th e headend, the BTS or BDA si gnal is condit ioned by the RIU, ensuring a cons tant RF level. T he
conditioned signal is then converted by the optical central hub (OCH) to an optical signal for transport over single mode
fiber to the HX, located at the remote location. In the uplink, the process is reversed.
The system controller (SC-450 v7.3) enables local an d rem ote m anagem ent, as wel l as co ntrols all MA1000 , M A2000,
and HX elements from a single, centralized location.

The HX 2.5GHz TDD unit consists of the following main modules:
• RCU – Remote control unit; Includes status LEDs for each module and control ports
• ANT (MUX) – Multiplexer [ANT. 1 MUX (right) for SISO; ANT. 2 MUX (left) for MIMO] including interfaces to HX
WCS, HX4 and RF antenn as /MA 100 0/M A20 00 un its (via EPM); combines signa l sour c es additional external RF
signals (when connected to HX unit and MA1000/MA2000 remote) while providing the proper filtering into a single
antenna port
•Module – [ANT. 1 (right) for SISO; ANT. 2 (left) for MIMO] Internal module that interfaces to the optical converter
unit (OCH) connects via a single mode fiber pair and supports one service. The HX 2.5 GHz TDD module provides
the additional amplification on the DL signals routed from the OCH towards the multiplexer.
