Safety Precautions
The following are general safety precautions that are not necessarily related to
any specific part or procedure, and do not necessarily appear elsewhere in this
publication. These precautions must be thoroughly understood and apply to all
phases of operation and maintenance.
WARNING
Keep Away From Live Circuits
Operating Personnel must at all times observe general safety
precautions. Do not replace components or make adjustments to
the inside of the test equipment with the high voltage supply
turned on. To avoid casualties, always remove power.
WARNING
Do Not Service Or Adjust Alone
Under no circumstances should any person reach into an enclosure
for the purpose of service or adjustment of equipment except in the
presence of someone who is capable of rendering aid.
WARNING
Safety Earth Ground
An uninterruptible earth safety ground must be supplied from the
main power source to test instruments. Grounding one conductor of
a two conductor power cable is not sufficient protection. Serious
injury or death can occur if this grounding is not properly supplied.
WARNING
Resuscitation
Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with
modern methods of resuscitation.
WARNING
Remove Power
Observe general safety precautions. Do not open the instrument
with the power applied.

Chapter 1 Introduction
The Bird NFPA Alarm Panel is an SBII+ Fiber-DAS alarm status annunciator that
provides a convenient means of monitoring your Fiber-DAS alarms from a
reasonably nearby location such as a security desk or main lobby desk located in
the same building as the Fiber-DAS system.
Figure 1 Alarm Panel
Monitored Alarms
The alarm panel is capable of monitoring the five alarms required for NFPA
compliance including:
Signal Booster Failure — This is a summed alarm that is active when any
number of fault conditions arise within the booster unit such as when an over
current or high temperature event occurs.
Loss of AC Power — Indicates that AC power to the booster unit has failed.
Antenna Malfunction — Indicates there is a loss of RF cable integrity
between the signal booster unit and the remote antenna line sensor. In order to
detect an antenna malfunction an antenna line sensor must be installed as close
to the Donor antenna as possible. This sensor works with the Bias-T assembly
inside the booster cabinet to verify the continuity of the antenna line
Low Battery Condition — The source of this alarm is the battery backup unit
and it indicates that the battery backup voltage level has dropped significantly.
Charger Failure — The source of this alarm is the battery backup unit and it
indicates failure of the battery charger. If the battery charger looses AC power
this alarm will be active.

Other Monitored Parameters
In addition to the NFPA alarms, the Alarm Panel displays the status following
parameters:
Power — when illuminated indicates the alarm panel is connected to/and
receiving power from a Head-End unit.
Status — Link and alarm status is displayed in the upper right corner of the
display, see
Figure 2 .
Figure 2 Status Indicator
Alarm Reporting
When an alarm condition is detected, the corresponding indicator will change to
RED. The status indicator in the top right of the display will indicate the booster’s
alarmed status, see
Figure 3 .
Link Status
Link status during normal operation is indicated by no alarm (green) or alarms
reported (red).
If communication is lost with the Head-End Unit, a disconnected icon (yellow) is
displayed. The Alarm panel will automatically attempt to reconnect with the
Head-End unit. If the Alarm Panel remains disconnected for approximately one
minute, the offline message is displayed indicating the connection could not be
reestablished, see
Figure 3 .

Cable Connections
Fiber-DAS Head-End Unit — The Alarm Panel connects to the Head-End
unit using a standard Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors. The Ethernet cable
provides operating voltage for the Alarm Panel and carries the Fiber-DAS system
status.
Facility Panel — Optionally, the NPFA alarm status may be extended from the
Alarm Panel (25-pin connector) to an existing facility alarm panel.

Chapter 2 Installation
Installing the Alarm Panel
The alarm panel is designed to be wall mounted and has a built-in mounting
flange on the top and bottom of the enclosure. Each flange has two 5/16 screw
holes and all four holes should be used during installation to insure the box is
fastened firmly.
Place the panel in a convenient viewable location. The cable connections are on
the bottom of the enclosure, so the bottom should be accessible.
Figure 5 shows the location of the mounting brackets on the alarm panel
enclosure.

Booster - Alarm Panel Connection
The Alarm Panel is equipped with one RJ-45 Alarm input connector. This
connector is used to connect a Bird Fiber-DAS Head-End Unit to the alarm panel.
The RJ-45 connector is used for alarm panel power and alarm data. See
Figure 6 .
Bird Boosters with an RJ-45 Alarm Panel output (data + POE) can connect
directly to the RJ-45 connector on the bottom of the alarm panel. A standard
Ethernet cable is used for the connection, the maximum length for this cable is
300 feet (100 meters). The RJ-45 connection supplies power for the alarm panel
and interfaces the boosters NFPA alarms.
Figure 6 Alarm Input connections
Alarm Panel Output Connection
An alarm output connector is provided to allow the NFPA alarms to be extended
to a facility alarm panel. The Alarm Output connector is a standard D-sub 25-pin
receptacle. See
Figure 6 .
One of the important considerations when installing the alarm panel wiring is
noise on the lines which may cause false alarm indications at the alarm panel.
Using good quality cable with sufficient shielding is important. When laying the
cable run avoid running it next to the building’s AC wiring or near strong noise
sources like motors.
If your installation requires the distance between the alarm panels to be greater
than several thousand feet consult with the factory before running the signal
cable. The wire gauge and shielding used for the signal lines will determine the
workable distance, thicker wire gives greater distance but can be cost
prohibitive.
The alarm can be connected as normally open or normally closed circuits.
Normally closed is defined as a contact pair that is normally closed when the
booster is powered-up, operating normally, with no alarm conditions.
The pinout for the Alarm Connector are shown in
Table 1 on page 6 .

Chapter 3 Operation
Normal Operation
The LCD alarm panel connects to the head-end unit of the SBII+ Fiber-DAS and
will display alarms for the head end unit as well as each remote that is
connected to the head-end through fiber-optic cable.
When the Alarm Panel is connected to a head-end unit and the unit is powered
up, the alarm panel will display Power (green) and the alarm status of the head-
end unit.
When the alarm panel is powered-up and the head-end unit and remote units
are operating normally (no faults) the status lights will be green for the
monitored NFPA alarm parameters for each unit.
Alarm Condition
When a unit detects a malfunction for one of the monitored NFPA parameters,
the associated indicator will change to red. The status indicator will also change
to an alarm condition.
Figure 7 Alarm Panel Display
Communication Lost
If communication between the Fiber-DAS system and the Alarm panel is lost, see
Figure 7 , and does not reconnect, indicated by the offline message,
troubleshoot the connection. See
"Troubleshooting" on page 8 .
