ISED Information
WARNING: This is NOT a CONSUMER device. It is designed for installation by an installer approved by an ISED licensee. You MUST have an ISED LICENCE or the express consent of an ISED licensee to operate this device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio frequency power amplifier may only be used with the transmitters with which the amplifier has been certified by Industry Canada. The certification number for the transmitters with which this amplifier is permitted to operate are IC:22303-SAFE1, IC:22303-SAFE2
Under Industry Canada regulations, this amplifier may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Introduction
Safe-Coms DASAssure™ is a patent-pending fiber Distributed Antenna Systems utilizing a new architecture that addresses the challenges of designing, deploying and maintaining a Public Safety DAS over its life-time. This innovative approach utilizes channel processing that assures the lowest interference and spurious radio communications coverage enhancement available. This modular hot- swap card system permits single channel expansion on ANY frequency adding only the power and resources required. Yet the design is the most compact fiber DAS available – easily fitting 4 bands into a 19x18x6inch NEMA 4 unit. Safe-Com’s high quality manufacturing system and superior applications support assures your success and the public’s safety.
The amplifiers are components withing the BDA and Fiber DAS to linearly amplify RF signals for boosting.
This User Manual is specifically written for the SAFE-0002 Series Power Amplifier
– VHF Band: SAFE-0002-A
– UHF Band: SAFE-0002-B
– 700 Band: SAFE-0002-Ca
– FirstNet Band: SAFE-0002-Ca
– 800 Band: SAFE-0002-Cb
– 900 Band: SAFE-0002-D
FCC Antenna Requirements
The user must assure that the installation meets FCC RF exposure limits. Minimum distance between any person and the operating antenna must be 35 inches or 89 cm. The antenna must be mounted on a stable, permanent structure.
Maximum ERP is 5 watts per FCC regulations per rule part 90.219(e)(1). The FCC licensed and qualified installer user must calculate the total transmitted power, taking into account the losses of the cables and splitters etc, plus the gain of the antenna to assure compliance with the maximum exposure regulation.
Lightening protection is required on all antennas as loss or damage as a result of lightening is not covered by the warranty. Antennas must be connected prior to turning up power to the unit.
Frequency Bands of Operation and RF output power control
The authorized bands of use include:
IMPORTANT NOTES: The Power amplifier module is factory tuned to the frequency band of operation. The User can not modify the operating frequency band. This product shall not be used to extend the boundary of the normal service area of a specific license. This product is used as both Class A and Class B however it is not meant to be used as a Class B Mobile booster. The product can be used outdoors as a fixed device. The user may not amplify service bands where the operator does not have license or license consent. Class B signal boosters cannot amplify both commercial (including CMRS and ESMR) and PLMR bands (except in-building DAS).
The Power amplifier module is factory tuned to the frequency band of operation.
The User can not modify the operating frequency band.
Operating Information
SAFE-0002 BLOCK DIAGRAM – All versions
The SAFE-0002 is a 2 stage fixed gain amplifier. A linear regulator supplies the power to the first stage pre-amplifier and the second stage is supplied with the external power input – typically +8 to +12 VDC. The circuit is designed to provide gain of approximately 20 to 30 dB. This common circuit can be tuned to operate in the range from 150 MHz to 940 MHz. The tuning is performed in the factory prior to shipping. The user can not change the tuning.
To operate the amplifier in a Class A, the amplifier is configured by Safe-Com Wireless to properly operate as a Class A amplifier as shipped from the manufacturer. All the proper limitations of operation, e.g. frequency limits. output power limits and spurious limits automatically controlled by the equipment when delivered inside a Safe-Com Wireless Booster. Alternatively a user would need to provide three functions externally:
– Output power control limits
– Frequency passband filtering
– Frequency of operation limits and
– Spurious noise control by post amp filtering
DC Input Range: 8 – 12VDC
DC Current: 2 amps maximum
RF input maximum:+10dBm (50ohms)
RF output maximum: 5 watts
Dimensions: 100mm x 52mm x 55mm (with control PCB (PAC) mounted on top)

Installation: It is advised to use thermal grease to mount the amplifier to a heat sink with at least 10 inches sq. volume.
Power: Input DC power must be between +8Volts and +12 VDC.
Connections: 50ohm RF cable with quality SMA cables should be used. Use a torque wrench and torque to 3–5 in·lbf (0.3 to 0.6 N·m)
FCC Antenna Requirements
The user must assure that the installation meets FCC RF exposure limits. Minimum distance between any person and the operating antenna must be 14 inches or 35 cm. The antenna must be mounted on a stable, permanent structure.
