2.2.2. System Measurement and Testing Conditions
• Live +24VDC with high current capability exists on the FLEXBEAMER® and BAU Coaxial
connections of the RAC. (These are the Tx ABT output and the Rx ABT input N-type
connectors at the RAC). Disconnect the AC or DC power to the RAC before any cable is
disconnected from the RAC, FLEXBEAMER® or BAU.
• Always use a DC block device connected to the measuring equipment input or output ports
(spectrum analyzer, power meter, or RF signal source), when measuring RAC performance.
• Do not apply more than +10dBm of RF input power to any RF port of the
FLEXBEAMER® Repeater system, or irreversible damage may occur.
• When measuring high power outputs, always verify that the equipment input port is capable for
handling the expected output power.
• When testing the units in lab or during field installation, always practice RF
radiation safety rules. It is not recommended for service or lab personnel to work
closer then 2 meters away from the FLEXBEAMER® Antenna surface when
operated at full RF power.
• During lab tests, with AC voltage applied to the RAC, do not use any PCS mobile transmitter
in a range of less than 10 meters from the FLEXBEAMER® unit. An unexpectedly high RF
power might appear at the output ports, which might in turn damage the measuring equipment
connected to that port.
