Thefollowing8sectionscomprise16stepsthatguideyouthroughtheinstallationofanRF

ModuleintoaPRUchassis.TheprocesstoinstallthefourdifferenttypesofRFModulesis

basicallythesame.

NOTE: Inthefollowingsteps,theRFcablesandconnectorsarereferredtoasMODNTX0/RX0andas

SafetyPrecautions

CAUTION! This is restricted access equipment and only qualified  service personnel should service and

operatethisequipmentusingappropr iatetools.

CAUTION! Wetconditionsincreasethepotentialforreceivingan electricalshockwheninstallingorusing

electrically‐powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install or use electrical

equipmentinawetlocationor

duringalightningsto rm.

CAUTION! Alwaysallowsufficientfiberlengthtopermitroutingofpatchcordsandpigtailswithoutsevere

bends.Fiberopticpatchcordsorpigtails maybepermanentlydamaged ifbentorcurvedto a

radiusoflessthan2inches(5.1cm).

CAUTION! ExteriorsurfacesofthePrismRemoteUnit

maybehot.Usecautionduringservicing.

CAUTION! Servicepersonnelmustconfirmthattheperimetergasketanddoor‐to‐doorgasketsareinplace

whenclosingthePrismdoorsafterservicing.

CAUTION! ThisequipmentusesaClass1LaseraccordingtoFDA/CDRHrules.Laserradiationcanseriously

damagetheretinaoftheeye.

Donotlookintotheendsofanyopticalfiber.Donotlookdirectly

into the optical transceiver of any digital unit or exposure to laser ra diation may result. An

opticalpowermetershouldbeusedtoverifyactivefibers.AprotectivecaporhoodMUSTbe

immediately placed over any

 radiating transceiver or optical fiber connector to avoid the

potentialofdangerousamountsofradiationexposure.Thispracticealsopreventsdirtparticles

fromenteringtheadapterorconnector.

CAUTION! Thissystemisan RFTransmitterand continuously emitsRFenergy.Maintain3 foot(91.4cm)

minimum clearance from the antenna while the

system  is operating. Whereverpossible, shut

downtheRANbeforeservicingtheantenna.
