General Safety Information
General Safety Information
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of
operation, service, and repair of the equipment described in this manual. The
safety precautions listed below represent warnings of certain dangers of which
we are aware. You should follow these warnings and all other safety precautions
necessary for the safe operation of the equipment in your operating environment.
Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the product or
included in this manual before installing, servicing or operating the equipment.
Retain these safety instructions for future reference. Also, all applicable safety
procedures, such as Occupational, Safety, and Health Administration (OSHA)
requirements, National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements, local code
requirements, safe working practices, and good judgement must be used by
personnel.
Refer to appropriate section of the product service manual for additional
pertinent safety information.
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute
parts or perform any unauthorized modifications of equipment.
Identify maintenance actions that require two people to perform the repair. Two
people are required when:
A repair has the risk of injury that would require on person to perform first
aid or call for emergency support. An example would be work around high
voltage sources. A second person may be required to remove power and call
for emergency aid if an accident occurs to the first person.
Use the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) listing
equation to determine whether a one or two person lift is required when a
system component must be removed and replaced in its rack.
If troubleshooting the equipment while power is applied, be aware of the live
circuits.
DO NOT operate the transmitter of any radio unless all RF connectors are secure
and all connectors are properly terminated.
All equipment must be properly grounded in accordance with Motorola Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites“R56” (6881089E50) and specified
installation instructions for safe operation. Slots and openings in the cabinet are
provided for ventillation. To ensure reliable operation of the product and protect
it from overheating, these slots and openings must not be blocked or covered.
Only a qualified technician familiar with similar electronic equipment should
service equipment.
Some equipment components can become extremely hot during operation. Turn
off all power to the equipment and wait until sufficiently cool before touching.

General Safety Information
Human Exposure Compliance
This equipment is designed to generate and radiate radio frequency (RF) energy
by means of an external antenna. When terminated into a non-radiating RF load,
the base station equipment is certified to comply with Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) regulations pertaining to human exposure to RF radiation in
accordance with the FCC Rules Part 1 section 1.1310 as published in title 47 code
of federal regulations and procedures established in TIA/EIA TSB92, Report on
EME Evaluation for RF Cabinet Emissions Under FCC MPE Guidelines,
Compliance to FCC regulations of the final installation should be assessed and
take into account site specific characteristics such as type and location of
antennas, as well as site accessibility of occupational personnel (controlled
environment) and the general public (uncontrolled environment). This equipment
should only be installed and maintained by trained technicians. Licensees of the
FCC using this equipment are responsible for insuring that its installation and
operation comply with FCC regulations Part 1 section 1.1310 as published in title
47 code of federal regulations.
Whether a given installation meets FCC limits for human exposure to radio
frequency radiation may depend not only on this equipment but also on whether
the “environments” being assessed are being affected by radio frequency fields
from other equipment, the effects of which may add to the level of exposure.
Accordingly, the overall exposure may be affected by radio frequency generating
facilities that exist at the time the licensee’s equipment is being installed or even
by equipment installed later. Therefore, the effects of any such facilities must be
considered in site selection and in determining whether a particular installation
meets the FCC requirements.
FCC OET Bulletin 65 provides materials to assist in making determinations if a
given facility is compliant with the human exposure to RF radiation limits.
Determining the compliance of transmitter sites of various complexities may be
accomplished by means of computational methods. For more complex sites direct
measurement of power density may be more expedient. Additional information
on the topic of electromagnetic exposure is contained in the Motorola Standards and Guidelines for Communications Sites publication. Persons responsible for
installation of this equipment are urged to consult the listed reference material to
assist in determining whether a given installation complies with the applicable
limits.
In general the following guidelines should be observed when working in or
around radio transmitter sites:
- All personnel should have electromagnetic energy awareness training.
- All personnel entering the site must be authorized.
- Obey all posted signs.
- Assume all antennas are active.
- Before working on antennas, notify owners and disable appropriate
transmitters.
- Maintain minimum 3 feet clearance from all antennas.
- Do not stop in front of antennas.
- Use personal RF monitors while working near antennas.
- Never operate transmitters without shields during normal operation.
- Do not operate base station antennas in equipment rooms.

Generation 2 Single Channel 800 MHz Base Radio Overview
Generation2 Single Channel BRTheory of Operation
The BR operates in conjunction with other site controllers and equipment that are
properly terminated. The following description assumes such a configuration.
Figures 5 shows an overall block diagram of the BR.
Power is applied to the DC Power input located on the BR backplane. The DC
Power input is connected if -48 VDC or batteries are used in the site.
Power is applied to the BR by setting the Power Supply power switch to the ON
position. Upon power-up, the BR performs self-diagnostic tests to ensure the
integrity of the unit. These tests are primarily confined to the EBRC and include
memory and Ethernet verification routines.
After the self-diagnostic tests are complete, the BR reports any alarm conditions
present on any of its modules to the site controller via Ethernet. Alarm conditions
may also be verified locally using service computer and the STATUS port located
on the front of the EBRC.
The software resident in Flash Memory on the EBRC registers the BR with the site
controller via Ethernet. Once registered, the BR software is downloaded via
resident FLASH- or Ethernet and is executed from RAM. Operating parameters
for the BR are included in this download. This software allows the BR to perform
call processing functions.
The BR operates in a TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) mode. This mode,
combined with voice compression techniques, provides an increased channel
capacity ratio of as much as 6 to 1. Both the receive and transmit signals of the BR
are divided into 6 individual time slots. Each receive slot has a corresponding
transmit slot; this pair of slots comprises a logical RF channel.
The BR uses diversity reception for increased coverage area and improved
quality. The Receiver module within the BR contains up to three receivers. Two
Receivers are used with two-branch diversity sites, and three Receivers are used
with three-branch diversity sites.
All Receivers within a given BR are programmed to the same receive frequency.
The signals from each receiver are fed to the EBRC where a diversity combining
algorithm is performed on the signals. The resultant signal is processed for error
correction and then sent to the site controller via Ethernet with the appropriate
control information regarding its destination.
The transmit section of the BR is comprised of two separate FRUs, the Exciter and
Power Amplifier (PA). Several PA FRUs are available, covering different
applications and power levels; these are individually discussed as applicable in
later subsections.
The Exciter processes the information to transmit from the EBRC in the proper
modulation format. This low level signal is sent to the PA where it is amplified to
the desired output power level. The PA is a continuous keyed linear amplifier. A
power control routine monitors the output power of the BR and adjusts it as
necessary to maintain the proper output level.
