2 Introduction 2. INTRODUCTION 2.1. PURPOSE Cellular telephone systems transmit signals in two directions between a base transceiver station (BTS) and mobile stations (MS) within the signal coverage area. If weak signal transmissions occur within the coverage area because of indoor applications, topological conditions or distance from the transmitter, extension of the transmission range can be achieved by means of an optical distribution system.
User’s Manual for ION™-M7P/85P/17P/19P (ML-Cab) The ION is easily set-up and supervised via a graphical user interface (GUI). Remote units can be commissioned through the use of built-in test equipment. An autoleveling function compensates for the optical link loss making installation easy and quick. The entire system may be monitored remotely via an Andrew OMC. This platform uses SNMP protocol and is compliant to X.733 standard.
3 Commissioning 3. COMMISSIONING 3.1. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 3.1.1. General Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.2 Health and Safety Warnings. 1. Do not install the unit in a way or at a place where the specifications outlined in the Environmental and Safety Specifications leaflet of the supplier are not met. 2. It is recommended only to use the mounting hardware delivered by the supplier.
User’s Manual for ION™-M7P/85P/17P/19P (ML-Cab) A spacing of 40 mm (1.58 inch) around the unit is required. 7. To ensure sufficient airflow when mounting the unit in enclosed spaces, two lid openings (one for the air inlet and the other for the air outlet) have to be provided. Do not block these air inlets and outlets when mounting the Remote Unit. The size of each opening must equal at least 17 x 17 cm (290 cm2). Make sure, too, there is no thermal short circuit between the air inlet and air outlet.
3 Commissioning 3.1.2. Wall-Mounting Procedure Check the suitability of the wall-mounting kit and the wall. Mark the position of the drilling holes (for measurements and a more detailed description refer to the wall mounting plan that is part of the delivery). Drill four holes at the marked positions and insert dowels*. Screw the mounting brackets to the wall / dowels using the four dowel screws as illustrated in figure 3-1 Mounting bracket installation.
User’s Manual for ION™-M7P/85P/17P/19P (ML-Cab) 3.1.3. Pole-Mounting Procedure The standard mounting hardware also includes all parts required for pole mounting: figure 3-3 Pole-mounting kit Use the screw bands to fasten the two mounting brackets to the pole. ) Note: When fastening the mounting brackets make sure that they are installed congruently and not at an angle to each other. To determine the distance between the beams, refer to the wall mounting plan that is part of the delivery.
3 Commissioning 3.2. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION 3.2.1. General Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.2 Health and Safety Warnings. 1. This unit contains dangerous voltages. Loss of life, severe personal injury or property damage can be the result if the instructions contained in this manual are not followed. 2. Ground the unit before connecting power supply. A grounding bolt is provided on the cabinet to connect the ground-bonding cable. 3.

User’s Manual for ION™-M7P/85P/17P/19P (ML-Cab) 3.2.3. Grounding Grounding must be carried out. Connect an earth-bonding cable to the grounding connection provided at the outside of the Remote Unit (see chapter 3.2.2 Connections). Do not use the grounding connection to connect external devices. figure 3-6 Grounding bolt figure 3-7 Grounding bolt, schematic view After loosening the hex nut, connect the earth-bonding cable between the two washers as illustrated in the figures above.
3 Commissioning To minimize passive inter-modulation (PIM) distortion, attention has to be paid to the physical condition of the connector junctions. Do not use connectors that show signs of corrosion on the metal surface. Prevent the ingress of water into the connector. Attach and torque the connectors properly. 3.4. POWER CONNECTION Before connecting electrical power to the units, the system must be grounded as described in the previous chapter.
User’s Manual for ION™-M7P/85P/17P/19P (ML-Cab) * Mains power must be interruptible with an external power supply breaker. For the power supply breaker, observe the following recommendation: 120 Volt / 20 Amp max. or 240 Volt / 16 Amp, single-phase, 50 / 60 Hz AC service is needed, i.e. the external AC breaker should be 20 Amps max. for 120-Volt service or 16 Amps for 240-Volt service. For the DC power supply, observe the local regulations of the DC service provider. 3.5.
3 Commissioning Before connecting the fiber cables, follow the procedure below to ensure optimized performance. It is important for these procedures to be carried out with care: ¾ Remove fiber-optic protective caps. ¾ Do not bend the fiber-optic cable in a tight radius (< 4 cm) as this may cause cable damage and interrupt transmission.
User’s Manual for ION™-M7P/85P/17P/19P (ML-Cab) 5. If the connector is still dirty, repeat the dry cleaning technique. 6. Inspect the connector. 7. If the connector is still dirty, clean it with 99% isopropyl alcohol (wet cleaning) followed immediately with a dry clean in order to ensure no residue is left on the endface. 8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 until endface is clean. Note: For a more detailed description please refer to: http://www.cisco.
3 Commissioning 3.5.1. Protective Plug Connection: A protective plug is provided for the connection of the fiber-optic cables. figure 3-9 Protective-plug assembly ) Note: Only high-quality connectors must be used for this type of plug. Qualified brands are Diamond or Huber & Suhner.
User’s Manual for ION™-M7P/85P/17P/19P (ML-Cab) 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.
3 Commissioning 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 4.5. 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.
User’s Manual for ION™-M7P/85P/17P/19P (ML-Cab) 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).
5 Maintenance 5. MAINTENANCE 5.1. GENERAL Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 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.
User’s Manual for ION™-M7P/85P/17P/19P (ML-Cab) 5.2. REPLACING THE FAN UNIT Replacement of the fan unit is not required as a preventative measure.
