DELTANODE USER MANUAL 1 Introduction This document contains quick guidelines on how to operate the DeltaNode Fiber-DAS concept and how to install a Remote Unit on site, commission and maintain such a system for the life span of the entire installation. When other manufacturers have converted off-air repeaters into fiber-fed repeaters, DeltaNode has developed the concept from scratch with fiber distribution in mind from the start.
DELTANODE USER MANUAL 2 Installation guidelines 2.1 Health and Safety DeltaNode DAS system is an advanced system and should be handled by skilled staff. DeltaNode is offering training of installation service providers in the case where this is necessary. Read all available documentation and warnings before handling the equipment! Equipment failures due to improper handling are normally not covered by the product warranty! Respect all warning signs on the equipment and in the documentation.
DELTANODE USER MANUAL 2.2 Warning! It is NOT recommendable to use markets unknown manufacturers for the passive components within the DAS. Before using the passive components, the datasheets of such components should be revised closely by the responsible network provider and all link budgeting calculations should be done accordingly. Installing the Master Unit All equipment must be properly grounded.
DELTANODE USER MANUAL 2.3 Installing the Remote Units The remote units have two different types of mounts. 1. The standard wall mounts. This mount is fixed to the wall with suitable bolts and then the remote is just slided in and fixed with 4 screws (included) so it cannot escape the wall mount. Snap in the complete single or dual chassis into the Wall bracket.
DELTANODE USER MANUAL 2. The pole mounts. The pole mount kit is an addition to the wall mount kit. They are first assembled together, and then mounted on a pole after which the remote unit is slid in and fixed with 4 screws (included), as seen in pictures above.

DELTANODE USER MANUAL 3 System Description 3.1 Purpose The DAS system is intended to distribute wireless services for voice and data over dedicated fiber from Master units located at the BTS site hotels to small Remote units intended for discrete mounting in an urban or suburban environment on poles or other outdoor locations.
DELTANODE USER MANUAL The Fiber-DAS system consists of two major parts; Master Unit and Remote Unit. The Master Unit (MU) and one or more Remote Units (RU) are connected to each other using optical fiber link. 3.3 Master Unit The Master Unit consists of a 19 inch frame rack with modules that are selected depending on the system design.
DELTANODE USER MANUAL The frame also contains fans used to ventilate the units housed in the frame. These are high quality fans that have a high MTBF. 3.3.2 BIU – The Base Station Interface The BIU is the interface used between the operator’s base station and the Fiber-DAS system. This module has several RF connectors on the front panel and it contains duplex filters (optional) or separate uplink/downlink paths which can be chosen depending on the needs for the connection to the base station.
DELTANODE USER MANUAL Every time a fiber is disconnected and re-connected care should be taken to avoid dust to settle on the connector or in the receptacle. Clean with a dry fiber cleaning tool before reconnecting the fiber at all times. A single speck of dust can impact the transmission severely. Do not touch the fiber ends with your fingers. That will leave grease on the connectors and may cause severe problems. Functional description The output power of the laser is calibrated and tuned to 3 000 µW.
DELTANODE USER MANUAL 3.4 Remote Unit There are many different kinds of remote units with a wide range of gain and output power to cater to many different needs. A low and medium power unit can house up to 4 different frequency bands in one unit, the high power versions can handle up to 2 different bands in one single unit. Chassis types RUs comes in mainly two different chassis, a single compact chassis for 1-2 bands and a dual chassis for up to 4 bands.
