7.1 Shutdownfunction(TXoutputshutdown)
The DAS has an automatic shutdown function to protect the DAS itself and the wireless
networkwhenthenorm aloperationalconditionscannotbemaintained
Shutdownistriggeredautomaticallywhenthecompositepowerdownlinkoutputisabove
thevalues defined as averagefor the deviceforaperiod not to exceed
5 seconds. Critical
levelsaresetthroughtheGUI
After automatic shutdown, the system may automatically turn‐on in order to assess
whether the temporary condition has changed. If the condition is still detected, the DAS 
shallshutdownagain.Thisactionwillberepeated5times 
AfterThe5
th
time,iftheconditionisstilldetected,theDASwillbeshutdownpermanently.

7.2 TotalPowerLimitfunction(TXOutputALC)
InordertoprotecttheHPAandnottoradiatespuriousemissions,outputpowersislimited
to a defined value which is set by the operator  in advance. To execute this function,
operatorshouldturn‐ontheALCfunctionandsetlimitlevelthroughtheGUI.Iftheoutput
power
 exceeds the defined value, the output attenuator is  adjusted to return it within
defined value. The output attenuator’s adjustment range is 25dB max. If output power
decreases, attenuation is decreased using the AGC function to return to the initial
attenuationlevel.
