1. General Description
The Advanced Power Monitor (APM) is used to measure and monitor channel-specific Tx Forward and Reflected power and
Combiner Insertion losses between transmitter combiners their associated antenna(s) for up to 80 channels. Rx Channel and or
other frequency monitoring is also available for up to 80 channels. The capability to perform a series of Tx-to-Rx system
isolation (loop back), Rx sub-system passband gain response, and Transmitter isolation (Tx carrier rejection) tests is also
provided.
Four pairs of Tx Forward (FWD) and Tx Reverse (RFL) coaxial connector inputs fed from non-intrusive in-line directional
couplers give the APM the capability of monitoring the output of up to four (or more) separate transmitter combiner/antenna
systems.
A Receive coaxial connector input port fed from either the receiver multicoupler system and/or an external “off-air” antenna
gives the APM the capability of monitoring receiver system signal levels, or the propagation of transmitter channels located on
other sites.
In addition to measuring and monitoring transmitter forward and reflected power in analogue and digital radio communication
systems, the APM can also be configured to monitor and measure insertion loss in the network transmitter combiner(s).
For each combiner/antenna system being monitored, a 4-port Antenna Line Coupler (ALC) is inserted after the transmitter
combiner on the antenna feeder cable. These couplers have a low insertion loss (<0.2dB) and each is capable of handling up to
750Watts of RF power. The excellent PIM (<-150dBc) and PIP ratings of the coupler are maintained using 7/16 DIN (F)
connectors on the input “From Combiner” and output “To Antenna” ports, with N (F) termination connectors used on the “FWD”
and “RFL” coupling ports.
The APM and the ALC unit(s) are intended for mounting into 19” rack mount equipment cabinets or open frames, but they can
be mounted in alternate configurations if required. As standard, the APM is supplied with one ALC for connection to the first
combiner/antenna system - with additional ALCs available separately for applications requiring more than one combiner/antenna
system to be monitored.
RFI can also supply PIM-rated 7/16 DIN right-angle adapters if required to assist in rack cabinet layout and installation of the
coupler(s) if required.
The APM communicates via an Ethernet port mounted on the rear of the unit. This facilitates configuration and monitoring using
a Graphical User Interface (GUI) via an integral web server. Access to the GUI is protected by a User Name and Password that
is progressively checked for security strength.
The (up to) 80 individual Tx and Rx frequencies configured in the APM are divided across four GUI pages, each able to display
up to 20 channels each. This allows the user to view a large number of channels on a standard monitor screen size without the
excessive use of scrolling. It should be noted that each group of 20 Tx channels is not ‘physically’ assigned to a specific pair of
FWD and RFL ports, despite the GUI presenting them as four sets of 20 channels each (although it may be considered this way
if this assists in conveniently thinking of the channels and how they may be affiliated to the combiner/antenna that they are
connected to). As Tx channels are not physically assigned to a specific pair of FWD and RFL ports, one frequency cannot be
measured separately on multiple couplers (i.e. as may be desired if the multiple legs of a Distributed Antenna System were to
be monitored using multiple couplers connected to one APM), and therefore each individual frequency can only be measured
“once” across all ports of the APM.
All transmitter frequencies, channel bandwidths (12.5KHz and 25KHz), alarm level thresholds, and other relevant parameters
are user-programmable via the GUI.
A DB15 rear-mounted connector provides four (4) separate dry relay contact alarm reporting outputs which may be individually
user-assigned on an ad-hoc basis, to specific monitored channels, alarm groups (Network IDs), or to the system alarms in the
APM, CAM(s), SAM(s) or RSM. This capability allows specific channels’ alarm conditions to be accessible via discrete alarm
outputs –allowing faulty equipment to be individually identified, reported, and action to be initiated as required, or used to
control basic alarm event actions such as antenna change-over (ACO) or main/standby base station switching, etc. SNMP
Traps, SNMP GET requests, SMTP (Email) and Manager Message UDP/TCPIP data packets are also available for alarm and
status reporting. LED’s on the front panel of the APM provide visual indication of system alarms.
APM status and alarm monitoring is also supported by the Motorola UEM, Genesis Software GenWatch™ APM Applet, or by the
C² Systems SitePortal® monitoring software.
The APM is available in models that cover two DC input voltage ranges, 9-36V and 36-60V, and AC mains voltage models are
available using either a 90-264VAC plugpack-style 12VDC, or a 90-264VAC plugpack-style 48VDC PSU.

Channel Alarm Modules (CAMs) and Site Alarm Modules (SAMs)
If desired, optional Channel Alarm Modules (CAMs) or Site Alarm Modules (SAMs) may be added to the APM at any time.
CAMs/SAMs are connected using a daisy chained cabling approach using two cables - “DC power” and “Comms”.
The CAM is no longer manufactured and the SAM is a direct (and enhanced) replacement. Any mixture of up to ten (10)
Channel Alarm Modules (CAMs) or Site Alarm Modules (SAMs) may be added to a single APM unit.
When connected, CAMs and SAMs are automatically recognised by an APM, and menu selections for them will then
automatically appear in the APM GUI. Each CAM/SAM has an “ID address” which is easily set via the rotary switch on the rear
of each CAM/SAM unit. Each CAM/SAM connected to an APM should have a different ID address selected to prevent address
contention in the APM GUI.
Each CAM/SAM provides ten (10) separate alarm output relays which may be individually user-assigned, on an ad-hoc basis, to
specific monitored channels alarms in the APM. This capability allows specific channels’ alarm conditions to be accessible via
discrete alarm outputs –allowing faulty equipment to be individually identified, reported, and action to be initiated as required.
SNMP, SMTP (Email) and Manager Message UDP data packets are also available for alarm and status reporting.
A logic input on each of the CAM’s/SAM’s channels allows additional monitoring functionality –such as monitoring base station
Tx PTT or RX UNSQ lines –to enable the determination of “conditional” repeater RF output failure states. Various equipment
operational configurations can be monitored using these logic inputs –such as hot/standby conditions (and the change-over
actioned), using this functionality.
In addition to the ten (10) separate alarm channels, each CAM also has four (4) user-programmable and configurable general-
purpose logic inputs that may be used for monitoring external equipment –such as site or cabinet door opening, generator fuel
level low, UPS, solar, or other alarm conditions. This functionality has been further enhanced in the SAM, with Input #1 being
able to be configured to measure temperature, an analogue voltage range, or a digital logic input level –and inputs #2, #3, and
#4 being able to be configured to measure an analogue voltage range, or a digital logic input level respectively.
The CAM and the SAM modules provide enhanced monitoring functionality for the APM, allowing a range of PTT, temperature,
voltage and digital inputs to be monitored as part of Antenna Change-Over (ACO), base station hot/standby, equipment and site
monitoring, and auxiliary control capabilities.
Receive Systems Module (RSM)
An optional Receive Systems Module (RSM) may be fitted to an APM to support networks using two receive antennas, such as
systems using dual diversity or redundant Rx antennas.
The RSM may be added to an APM at any time –providing a network technology upgrade path if required.
The RSM also improves the APM’s receive sensitivity capability and provides an enhanced ability to monitor frequencies in
other applications –such as off-air monitoring of adjacent network sites’ coverage propagation or the monitoring of a Distributed
Antenna System (DAS).
The RSM adds two receiver paths (RA, RB) and a third ‘External’ antenna (RE) that are configurable in the APM GUI, on a per-
channel basis. Rx level measurements for all three receive paths are available in the Status, System Isolation Tests and
Service Mode pages of the APM GUI. The RSM also features a unique “RF Peak Level Detector” capability that can measure
high levels of RF, even of very short burst duration, that may be overloading the network’s base station receivers and degrading
network performance. Alarm thresholds can be configured for these received signal level peaks so that alarms can be actioned
when they occur, and these events are measured, logged and may be viewed in the APM GUI to assist fault-finding activities.
Hardware Versions
There are several hardware variants of the APM. These can be identified by the communications ports on the rear of the unit.
The earlier “K1” variant has one USB and one TCPIP port. The limited memory capacity of the K1 may restrict its compatibility
with future firmware features. Where this occurs, the webserver GUI and/or CLI interface may not display incompatible features
to prevent uncertainty in unit capabilities. The K1 unit’s memory capacity may also limit the available storage space for data
such as alarm history and log files.
The later variant of APM is identified as the “K2”. The K2 has deleted the USB port and substituted a second TCPIP port in its
place. The memory capacity of K2 units is significantly increased to support more extensive alarm history and log file storage
capability. Communications with the APM via a USB interface is still possible utilising a (user-supplied) USB-to-TCPIP adapter.

7. Unpacking
The APM is packed into a custom designed cardboard insert, box container and sleeve together with a single Coupler and
AC to DC power pack if the AC option has been ordered. Optional CAM, SAM, and RSM modules are similarly packaged.
Packed with the APM and Coupler will be the Factory Test Sheet (FTS) and Quick Start Guide (QSG). Packed with the RSM is
a Quick Start Guide (QSG) which overviews its mounting onto an APM. The User’s Manual and other supporting information
and files are available for downloading from the RFI website at www.rfi.com.au.It is recommended to retain the Factory Test
Sheet for future reference.
An Ethernet jumper cable is included in the packaging, provided for your convenience to connect and configure the APM via
an onboard Graphical User Interface (GUI) from the browser located on your laptop/notebook.
Although the packing box has been designed to provide a significant amount of protection, it is important to report any visible
damage to the carrier immediately. It is the customers’ responsibility in the event of product damage, to lodge a damage
claim with the carrier within a short period of time after receipt of the package. The time window for lodging the claim should
be ascertained from the specific carrier as this may vary between carriers (typically 1 to 5 days).
Please dispose of the packing material responsibly.
