Turn off mains power * before connecting the power cord at the Remote Unit, then, engage mains power again.
Fiber-System Installation: Fiber-cable connectors have to be of the same type (E2000APC8°) as the connectors used for the unit. The fiber-optic cables are connected to the optical transceiver. Angled connectors are not compatible with straight optical connectors; non-compatibility of connectors will result in permanent damage to both connectors. Before connecting the fiber cables, follow the procedure below to ensure optimized performance.
Cleaning Procedure for Fiber-Optical Components: Any contamination in the fiber connection results in additional optical transmission loss which could cause whole system failure. It is thus recommended that every fiber connector be inspected and cleaned prior to mating. The goal is to eliminate any dust or contamination and to provide a clean environment for the fiber-optic connection. When you clean fiber components, always complete the following steps carefully: 1.
3.5.1. Protective Plug Connection: A protective plug is provided for the connection of the fiber-optic cables. figure 3-11 Protective-plug assembly Note: Only high-quality connectors must be used for this type of plug. Qualified brands are Diamond or Huber & Suhner.
For plug assembly, observe the following instruction: 1. Pass one or two contacts through the backshell and the clamp ring. 2. Place the contact(s) on the lower insulation body by pushing the groove of the contact into the cavity. If there is only one contact, cavity A must be used. * 3. Then, mount the upper insulation body on the lower insulation body. ** Upper insulation body Cavity B Cavity A 4. Bring the insulator into the plug.
7. Bring the plastic ring over the cable(s), push it into the backshell and compress the seals and plastic ring by screwing the clamp ring tight (no gap) using a spanner with opening 20. *** Screw tight until gap is closed 8. Connect the plug to the optical-fiber 9. To lock the connector, push the black connector of the Remote Unit, again locking ring forward.**** by fitting a stamp on the plug into the groove of the connector.

4. ALARMS 4.1. BITe AND ALARMS The Built-In Test (BITe) concept comprises the monitoring of the power supplies, the power amplifiers and the optical interface. All alarms occurring can be checked via software at the Master Unit. 4.2. HANDLING OF ALARMS A message is transmitted to the Master Unit when the software acknowledges a valid alarm. A new alarm message will not be repeated if the reason for the alarm is cleared or if the alarm continues.
4.4. STATUS LED ALARMS For local supervision, a status LED on the connector flange of the Remote Unit gives an indication of possible reasons for alarms. This table shows possible on-site measures that could be checked before referring to the Master Unit alarm list. Status LED Indication Green Orange Red Status LED off Alarms Possible on-site measures No alarm Status ok Door alarm Close the door (RUs with door). Alarms not directly related to RU: External alarms Check externally connected devices.
4.5. EXTERNAL ALARM INPUTS AND OUTPUTS G1038Z0 figure 4-1 Flange connector, 5 poles G1038Z0 figure 4-2 Flange connector, 7 poles The alarm outputs (open collector output 5 V / 1 mA) are normally low. In case of an alarm they are high active (5 V). They can be used to monitor alarms with an external alarm indicator. The +28 V pin (for its location see figure 4-2 Flange connector, 7 poles) is protected by a 500 mA thermoswitch.
With the external alarm inputs it is possible to monitor the status of connected devices, e.g. a UPS, via software. All alarm inputs are normally high (5 V) without connection. The polarity (high/ low) can be set via the software at the Master Unit (for details please see according software manual). The device to be monitored must be connected so that the alarm contacts will be closed in case of an alarm (I max = 8 mA). The alarm inputs are potential-free with common ground.
5. MAINTENANCE 5.1. GENERAL Read the health and safety warnings in section 1.2 Health and Safety Warnings. Note: The Remote Unit does not require preventative maintenance measures. Note: To prevent malfunctions of the cooling system due to dirt or pollution, it is recommended to clean the heat sink at regular intervals. These cleaning intervals depend mainly on the location of the Remote Unit and the corresponding degree of pollution.
5.2. REPLACING THE FAN UNIT Replacement of the fan unit is not required as a preventative measure. Only if an alarm indicates a malfunctioning of a fan, must the unit be exchanged. Note: Please observe that the fan unit can only be replaced as a whole. Do NOT remove the fans separately! Note: NEVER blow out the fan unit with compressed air! This would cause permanent damage to the unit. Read the health and safety warnings in section 1.2 as well as the instructions in section 5.
