Each RU door is factory configured to order, fully tested assembled and shipped as a single unit
ready for deployment. Three solar shields are included and one must be must be installed over
the left, right, and front door.
A fiber connector cable assembly is provided with 10 meters of environmentally hardened cable
and 1 meter of exposed, un-terminated single-mode 900µm optical fiber sufficient for splicing
in an OSP splice tray.
A power connector cable assembly is provided with 15 feet (4.6 m) of environmentally
hardened cable allowing power junction termination.
The FlexWave RU, supports or provides the following basic functions:
• Provides RF interface (antenna port) for the antennas.
• Accepts AC power input.
• Provides a visual indication of unit status
• Optical backhaul of digitized RF
1.2 Primary Components
The remote is comprised of three doors and one common door on a common chassis. A bracket
that allows the chassis to pivot is secured to the chassis at the left rear corner. This bracket is
secured to the top and bottom right rear corner of the chassis with two capscrews. The RU doors
are factory configured to order, fully tested assembled and shipped as a single unit ready for
deployment. Three solar shields are included and installed over each door. The RU houses the
electronic assemblies, controls RF emissions, seals out dirt and moisture, and provides passive
cooling. The antenna cable connectors, fiber connectors, AC power connector, and the unit
status indicator are located on the bottom of the unit.
1.3 Mounting
The FlexWave URH RU should be mounted on a utility pole, mast, or on a flat surface. A
mounting kit is available for each unit. Installation consists of securing the bracket to the
mounting surface and then hanging the unit from the bracket. The bracket may be attached to a
variety of surfaces such as wood, concrete, or steel. The FlexWave URH RU should be mounted
in a restricted access location only.
1.4 Fault Detection and Alarm Reporting
The FlexWave URH RU detects and reports fault and alarm information. RU has a single red
STATUS LED on the bottom. At startup, LED is turned “ON” prior to being controlled by the
SeRF processor. After startup, unique patterns are displayed to show the current status. Table 1
defines the patterns displayed for the different conditions. Different sets of patterns may be
defined based upon a pattern “code”. In this release (Software Version 1.1), the “code” can not
be provisioned and is assumed to be zero. When more than 1 condition exists, the pattern for the
condition with the higher priority is displayed. The highest priority is a “0”, with higher
numeric values having a lower priority. Fault and alarm information is also available using the
FlexWave URH GUI.
