DOCUMENT OVERVIEW Table 1 lists the Standard RAUs that are supported in this document. Table 1.
PAGE 4
Document Cautions and Notes Two types of messages, identified below, appear in the text: CAUTION! Cautions indicate operations or steps that could cause personal injury, induce a safety problem in a managed device, destroy or corrupt information, or interrupt or stop services. NOTE: Notes contain information about special circumstances.
PAGE 5
PRODUCT OVERVIEW Spectrum supports up to 8 bands in a single system. Each antenna location supports those bands in modular, group pairings. Each location includes a Main Remote Access Unit (MRAU) that can power up to three additional Secondary RAUs (SRAUs), each of which support two power amplifier pairs for a total of eight amplifiers.
PAGE 6
Figure 1 illustrates how RF and IF signals are sent between Spectrum units and modules. NOTE: All FWD ports on all Modules are color-coded red and all REV ports are color-coded blue, which makes the DART Remote Unit (DRU), IFEU, and RAU cabling process easier to complete.
PAGE 7
Main Remote Access Units The Main Remote Access Unit (MRAU) receives FWD IF signals from an IF Expansion Unit (IFEU), which is part of the Spectrum Expansion Module Group, using 75 CATV cable. The MRAU converts the IF signals to RF and sends them to a passive RF antenna using 50 coaxial cable. The MRAU also receives configuration information and power from and sends its status information to the IFEU. The MRAU receives REV RF signals from a passive RF antenna using 50 coaxial cable.

Secondary Remote Access Units A Secondary Remote Access Unit (SRAU) receives FWD IF signals from the MRAU, using 75 CATV cable. The SRAU converts the IF signals to RF and sends them to a passive RF antenna using 50 coaxial cable. The SRAU, through the MRAU, also receives configuration information and power from and sends its status information to the IFEU. The SRAU receives REV RF signals from a passive RF antenna using 50 coaxial cable.

PAGE 11
RAU N Connectors Each RAU also has one or two 50- N-type connectors that connect to a passive antenna. Table 2 lists the number of N-type connectors available on each RAU model. Table 2.
PAGE 12
INSTALL THE RAUS AND ANTENNAS Follow the steps in the order provided to install the RAUs and antennas. Mount the RAUs and Antennas 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 storm. CAUTION! This system is a RF Transmitter and continuously emits RF energy.
PAGE 13
3 Connect a passive multi-band antenna to the N connector on each RAU using coaxial cable with the least amount of loss possible. (See “Omni Antenna Specifications” on page 27 for information on the Omni Antenna ports.) CAUTION! Firmly hand-tighten the N connector. DO NOT over-tighten the connector.
PAGE 14
6 Connect F connector CATV cables on the IFEU and MRAU, in the order given below. If the LEDs do not perform as described in this procedure, refer to “MRAU LEDs” on page 8. a Connect a CATV cable from one of the IFEU FWD Module IF OUT connectors (1 - 8) to the MRAU FWD IF IN connector. b Confirm that the MRAU FWD IF IN LED is yellow, which indicates a correct physical connection.
PAGE 15
8 Test the cable termination for each CATV cable before installing it. 9 Connect F connector CATV cables from the MRAU to an SRAU, in the order given below. If the LEDs do not perform as described in this procedure, refer to “SRAU LEDs” on page 10. a Connect a CATV cable from an MRAU FWD SECONDARY PORT (1, 2, or 3) F connector to the SRAU SECONDARY FWD F connector. b Confirm that the SRAU SECONDARY FWD LED is yellow, which indicates a correct physical connection.
