Model GS7000 GainMaker Node
Forward Local Injection Module
Installation Instructions
Introduction
The Forward Local Injection (FLI) Module is a field installable accessory for the
Model GS7000 GainMaker®Scaleable 4-Port Node.
The FLI Module routes an RF signal from an external source to the Forward
Configuration Module (FCM) in the node through the Optical Interface Board
(OIB). This signal is then coupled with other inputs from one or more optical
receivers.
Note: The FLI Module Field Upgrade Kit, part number 4013575, contains the
parts necessary to add forward local injection functionality to your Model GS7000
Node.

Product Description
Overview
The FLI Module acts as the interface between an external RF source and the Model
GS7000 Node.
The RF signal enters the Model GS7000 Node though port F2 in the node housing
lid. An RF cable assembly is provided to route the signal from port F2 to the input
connector on the FLI Module. (Port F1 entry is optional, but requires a shorter RF
cable.) The FLI Module accepts the RF signal through a female F-type push-on
connector on the top cover of the module housing and routes the signal to the OIB
through a signal pin.
The FLI Module is designed to be mounted in the "RCVR 4" position on the OIB in
the node.
An RF test point on the module provides a sample of the RF signal at -20 dB for level
monitoring.
Note: A special "Local Injection" version of the 1x2 Redundant FCM must be
installed in the node to facilitate the operation of the FLI Module.
Technical Specifications
The FLI Module meets the following technical specifications.
Forward Injection Port
Performance
Units 7.5 dB I/S EQ with
1.5 dB I/S Pad
Notes
Operational Gain (minimum) dB 19.5 1
Frequency Response dB ±0.5
Internal Tilt (±1 dB) dB 14.5 2
Input Return Loss dB 16 3
Notes:
1Forward operational gain is for station from forward injection port to node RF
output port with 0 dB pad in OIB, 1x2 Redundant Injection FCM, 1.5 dB
interstage (I/S) pad, 7.5 dB linear I/S EQ, factory select output pad. Includes
OIB losses; ~ 2.25 dB loss through the FLI Module and RF cable, and ~ 15 dB loss
through the FCM.
2Internal tilt is "Linear" tilt and is primarily due to an on-board fixed equalizer
and a factory configured 7.5 dB linear I/S EQ.
3Input Return Loss specified for Forward Injection port.

Required Components
The following components are required to implement Forward Local Injection in the
Model GS7000 Node.
Note: These parts (except for item number 5 pads) are included in the FLI Module
Field Upgrade Kit.
1Forward Local Injection Module.
2FLI Module RF Cable Assembly.

FLI Module Installation
3Local Injection version of the 1x2 Redundant Forward Configuration Module.
4F-type bulkhead RF connector assembly for port F2 (or optional port F1) on node
housing lid.
5Two 1.5 dB pads for the FWD I/S pads on the GS7000 Node RF amplifier
assembly.
Note: Pads are not included in upgrade kit. Obtain those from your normal on-
hand node accessories.
Installing theFLI Module
Note: This example uses port F2 for the external RF source. This should represent
the majority of installations, since port F1 is most commonly used as the input port
for the optical fibers.
Important: For complete information on opening/closing the node and working on
components inside the node, refer to Model GS7000 GainMaker Scaleable 4-Port Node
Installation and Operation Guide, part number 4013584.
Complete the following steps to install the FLI Module in the node.
1Open the node housing.
2Place the FLI Module in the RCVR 4 position on the OIB in the node housing lid
and insert the module until it is connected to the OIB.
Note: If an existing receiver module is in the RCVR 4 position, it must be moved
to a different RCVR position. Refer to Receiver/Transmitter Module Removal
and Replacement.
3Tighten the module retaining screws to secure the module in the node. Torque
the screws from 25 to 30 in-lbs (2.8 to 3.4 Nm).

4Insert the threaded F-type connector on one end of the RF cable assembly
through port F2 and outside the node housing and connect it to the bulkhead RF
connector as shown in the following illustration.
5Thread the bulkhead RF connector assembly into port F2 on the node housing lid
as shown in the following illustration. Torque the connector from 3 to 4 ft-lbs
(4.1 to 5.4 Nm).
6Route the RF cable to the left through the fiber channel in the node and toward
the FLI Module.

FLI Module Installation
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage any existing transmitter or receiver fibers or fiber
connectors when routing the RF cable.
Note: The following illustration shows the installation with optical receivers and
transmitters removed to provide a better view of the RF interface cable routing in
the fiber channel.
7Insert the right-angled G-type connector of the RF cable assembly into the Input
connector on the FLI Module as shown in the previous illustration.
8Install the Local Injection version of the 1x2 Redundant FCM into the RF
amplifier assembly in the node housing base.
Note: To remove the existing FCM, pull up carefully on its integrated handle
until it separates from the RF amplifier assembly.
9Replace the two existing FWD I/S pads (located directly above the FCM on the
RF amplifier assembly) with 1.5 dB pads.
10 Close the node housing. Refer to Closing the Housing for complete instructions.
11 Connect the external RF source to port F2 on the node housing lid.

FLI Module Installation
Closing the Housing
Close the housing as follows.
1Ensure any worn gaskets are replaced, and the gaskets are clean and in the
correct position.
2Carefully close the lid.
CAUTION:
Use caution when closing housing. Improper closing may result in the Model
GS7000 Node not being sealed from the environment.
3For strand-mounted housings, pull the lid away from the base and remove the
slack from the hinge before rotating the lid up toward the base.
4Ensure no cables are pinched between lid and base.
5Secure lid to base with bolts. Tighten from 5 to 12 ft-lbs (6.8 to 16.3 Nm) in the
sequence shown in the following illustration. Repeat the sequence twice, ending
with the final torque specification.
Receiver/Transmitter Module Removal and Replacement
Depending on the module population of your particular node, it may be necessary to
relocate or remove and replace an optical receiver or transmitter to facilitate the
installation of the FLI Module.
If necessary, complete the following steps to remove and replace an optical receiver
or optical transmitter.
1Open the node housing.
2Carefully tag and remove any optical fibers from the receiver or transmitter
module.
