Allgon Systems AB AR Repeaters Safety
1
. Safety
Any personnel involved in installation, operation or service of Allgon
repeaters must understand and obey the following:
• Allgon AR repeaters are designed to receive and amplify signals from
one or more base stations and retransmit the signals to one or more
mobile stations. Also, the repeaters are designed to receive signals from
one or more mobile stations, amplify and retransmit to the base
stations. The AR repeaters must be used exclusively for these purposes
and nothing else.
• Repeaters supplied from the mains must be connected to grounded
outlets and in conformity with any local regulations.
• The power supply unit in repeaters supplied from the mains contains
dangerous voltage that can cause electric shock. Disconnect the mains
prior to any work in such a repeater. Any local regulations are to be
followed when servicing repeaters.
Authorized service personnel only are allowed to service repeaters while
the mains is connected.
BERYLLIUM OXIDE
HYDROGEN FLUORIDE
• The repeater cover must be secured in opened position, e.g. by tying it
up, at outdoor repeater work. Otherwise, the cover can be closed by the
wind and cause your fingers getting pinched or your head being hit.
• When working on a repeater on high ground, e.g. on a mast or pole, be
careful not to drop parts or the entire repeater. Falling parts can cause
serious personal injury.
• Any repeater, including this repeater, will generate radio signals and
thereby give rise to electromagnetic fields that may be hazardous to the
health of any person who is extensively exposed to the signals at the
immediate proximity of the repeater and the repeater antennas.
• CHA channel board power transistors, PA amplifier board power
transistors, combiners (CMB), and FON board attenuators (at the P101
port) may contain beryllium oxide (BeO) that is poisonous if present as
dust or smoke which can be inhaled.
Do not file, grind, machine, or treat these parts with acid.
Warning signs are applied on units containing beryllium oxide. These
warning signs are shown in the next section.
• The coaxial cable insulation is made of PTFE, polytetrafluoro ethylene,
that gives off small amounts of hydrogen fluoride when heated.
Hydrogen fluoride is poisonous. Do not use heating tools when
stripping off coaxial cable insulation.
No particular measures are to be taken in case of fire because the
emitted concentration of hydrogen fluoride is very low.
VD204 43/EN - Installation Guide Rev. 1A 2001-06 1 - 1
Allgon Systems AB AR Repeaters Safety
• A lithium battery is permanently mounted on the CU and FON boards.
Due to the risk of explosion, this battery must not be removed from the
board. In case of battery malfunction, replace the entire board. The
old board can be sent to Allgon for repair.
• The optional FON board contains a class 1 laser transmitter that emits
invisible laser radiation during operation. Avoid direct exposure from
unconnected laser transmitter or fiber cord.
• The heat sink element on a CDMA High Power repeater can be very
hot. Do not touch this surface during operation.
Warning Signs
The following warning signs must be observed and be kept clean and
readable.

Beryllium oxide
This warning sign is applied on boards and units which contain beryllium
oxide parts.
This warning sign is applied at the bottom, inside the cabinet, below the
power supply unit.
The previous section details parts containing beryllium oxide and how to
avoid dangerous dealing with these parts.
VD204 43/EN - Installation Guide Rev. 1A 2001-06 1 - 2
Allgon Systems AB AR Repeaters Safety
Static Electric ity
Static electricity means no risk of personal injury but it can severely
damage essential parts of the repeater, if not handled carefully.
Parts on the printed circuit boards as well as other parts in the repeater
are sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
Never touch the printed circuit boards or uninsulated conductor
surfaces unless absolutely necessary.
If you must handle the printed circuit boards or uninsulated conductor
surfaces, use ESD protective equipment, or first touch the repeater
chassis with your hand and then do not move your feet on the floor.
Never let your clothes touch printed circuit boards or uninsulated
conductor surfaces.
Always store printed circuit boards in ESD-safe bags.

. Installation
Before installation, read carefully Chapter 1, Safety.
Siting the Repeater
Allgon repeaters are designed for outdoor usage. However, humidity and
temperature changes may have affect on the reliability. A preferable site
for the repeater is thus indoor, in a tempered and ventilated room.
Sunshine
If a repeater is placed outdoor and can be exposed to direct sunshine, it is
essential that the air can circulate around the repeater with no obstacle.
The operating temperature must not exceed +55°C. A shelter can be used
to shade the repeater from direct sunshine.
Shelter
Allgon repeaters are designed with a weather proof outdoor case that can
be mounted without any kind of shelter from rain, snow or hail.
If a repeater is to be opened on the site when raining, snowing, or hailing
there must be some kind of permanent or temporary shelter. This is
applicable to gentle rainfall, snowfall or hail. Limitations for very bad
weather is found in the next section.
Allgon can provide a shelter designed for these repeaters. This shelter is
shown in Figure 2-1.
Outdoor Installation and Service Limitations
Sited outdoors, the repeater must not be opened for installation or service
at bad weather, such as:
– Intense rainfall, snowfall or hail.
– Storm or high wind.
– Extremely low or high temperature.
– High humidity of the air.

Connection
This section describes how to connect the input and output ports of the
repeater types:
AR repeaters (except for high power CDMA/WCDMA) ................ page 2-8
High power CDMA/WCDMA .................................................................... 2-9
BMU ............................................................................................................. 2-10
RMU ............................................................................................................. 2-11
FOR .............................................................................................................. 2-12
Common important instructions for the repeater types are found below.
Station ground
There is a screw to the left in the repeater that is intended for station
ground only. This screw is marked with the ground symbol.
Mains connection
Note that local regulations are to be followed for the mains connection.
The AR repeater is approved in accordance with EN and UL/cUL
regulations. This is, however, only valid if a classified power cord is used.
To get the repeater to meet these regulations, select one of the following
classified and approved cord types:
• EN- H 05 W5 - F HMR.
• UL- AWM Style 2587.
• CSA - AWM 1 A/B 11 A/B.
For outdoor use the power cord should meet at least IP65 encapsulation
requirements.
For repeaters supplied from the mains, the mains outlet must be grounded.
The mains connection described on the following pages means to mount
the mains plug to the mains cord (if to be used) but it does not mean to
connect the mains.
Do not turn the mains on until you are commissioning the repeater (see
Chapter 4, Commissioning, in the AR Repeaters, User’s Manual).
RCU and RCC remote control units
All AR repeaters can be equipped with an RCU, Remote Control Unit.
The GSM antenna for this unit is internally connected in the repeater.
If the RCU is removed, then the jumper between pin 2 and 3 on the P27
port must be reconnected. Do not connect the jumper to another position
than between pin 2 and 3 on the P27 port.
An RCC, Remote Communication Control unit, is required if the unit is to
be connected to a FON board (the FON board does not support the RCU).
A description of the RCC and its connection is found in the VD203 67/EN,
ALR Compact Repeater, User’s Manual. The RCU and RCC are described
in Chapter 6, Optionals, in the AR Repeaters, User’s Manual.

Figure 2-13. R2R connection
F2F is a feature that makes it possible to communicate with all repeaters
that have a FON board (i.e. BMU, RMU and FOR) and are included in
the same fiber optic net. By using the existing fiber optic distribution net,
no wire or other communication device is required.
Communication with repeaters works also in mixed F2F and R2R net.

Mains Breakdown Relay
To be able to distinguish PSU faults from power failure, a mains
breakdown relay can be used.
The mains breakdown relay is not included in the repeater. So, it has to
be mounted outside the repeater chassis. The relay intended for this
purpose must fulfil the following specifications:
Relay specification
Closing time: Max. 30 milliseconds.
Insulation coil/contact: Min. 4KV.
Mains connected relay must be in compliance with valid local regulations.
Connection
1. Connect a currentless closed relay contact to pin AI1 and AIC on the
P33 alarm connector see Figure 2-14. Alarm is initiated by short
circuiting pin AI1 and AIC in the P33 connector.
