Grounding of Indoor Equipment


Usually, the Indoor Unit is grounded via the racks connection to ground. If the rack is not connected to ground, or if the rack is coated so that there is no direct connection between the Baseband Unit and the rack, the Indoor Unit must be grounded via a separate cable. The cable is connected to the M6 grounding lug located on the front of the Baseband Unit (BBU). For this purpose, it is recommended to use a flat copper braid. If an Indoor Unit is connected to another Indoor Unit that is not hosed in the same magazine, a short grounding cable (< 0.5 m) must be used between the grounding lugs of the two units.

Recommended mounting of the Antenna/RF Unit It is recommended to mount the Antenna/RF Unit within a limiting angle of 45 originating from the top of the mast. This will protect the Antenna/RF Unit from direct lightning strikes. If the recommended angle cannot be obtained, a mast pole of at least 1 m should be attached to the top of the mast, to secure the desired level of protection.

Fastening the Mast Mounting Bracket Fastening the Mast Mounting Bracket 1. Position the Mast Mounting Bracket around the mast.

Grounding the Antenna/RF Unit


The Antenna/RF Unit is grounded via the masts connection to ground. To get sufficient protection against lightning surges, the radio cable leading from the Antenna/RF Unit should be bonded to mast ground less than 1 m from the Antenna/RFU. For this purpose, it is recommended to use the applicable accessory in the Grounding Kit.

Connecting the Outdoor Radio Cable 1. Mount the coaxial connectors on the outdoor radio cable. Note: The connector manufacturers instructions for mounting of the connectors must always be followed! 2. Connect the Outdoor Unit to the Indoor Unit via the Jumper Cable. To seal the cable joint properly between the coaxial cable and the RFU, it is recommended to use the Cold Shrink Weatherproofing Kit accessory.
Outdoor Environmental Accessories

Table 23 Outdoor Environmental Accessories Part Part Number Cold Shrink Weatherproofing Kit Grounding the Radio Cables Besides bonding the radio cable to mast ground 1 m from the RFU, see Grounding the Antenna/RF Unit above, it is recommended to ground the cable at the foot of the mast and before entering a building. If the distance between two of these grounding points exceeds 50 m, it is recommended to bond/ ground the radio cable also every 50 m. See the figure below. If a surge arrester is mounted in the wall, it should be mounted in a copper plate with a low resistance connection (< 0.1 ) to ground on the outside. This will improve the protection of the indoor equipment in case of lightning strikes. WMSA015

RF Ports Hop Cross-connection Straight-through Connection

Model for traffic channel connections A radio terminal transmits all traffic channels connected to its RF side. You can connect the traffic channels from a TIU to the RF side of the same radio terminal. To let another radio terminal transmit them, you can cross-connect them to the RF side of a backplane partner. You can cross-connect traffic channels over the hop, i.e. connect a traffic channel on a TIU port to an RF port with a different port number. This means that the traffic channel number for a traffic stream can be different from one end of the hop to the other. This can be useful in a repeater configuration where you want to drop a traffic channel on a certain traffic channel number. For example, you may want to drop a traffic channel on traffic channel number E1:17 to output it on a separate cable connected to the 9 pin D-SUB jack. To avoid confusion, it is recommended that you cross-connect all traffic channels at one end of the hop only.

Tools Required for Antenna Alignment
17 mm torque wrench Voltmeter (05V DC) with BNC adapter (the AGC contact on the RFU is of BNC socket type).

Preparations
1. Check that all relevant instructions in the preceding sections of this manual are completed for both installation sites before you start aligning the antennas. 2. Arrange for speech communication between the installation sites if possible. This will make it easier to align the antennas correctly.

Alignment Procedure
When aligning the antennas, the AGC port on the RFU (BNC connector) is used to indicate the Received Signal Level (RSL). Use a standard multimeter with a BNC adapter to measure the AGC voltage. The AGC voltage is somewhere in the range 05V DC. The AGC voltage from the BBU is updated every 0.2 sec. So, when the antenna has been moved, the resulting AGC voltage may be slightly delayed. A digital voltmeter also has a slight delay. This means that you should allow 0.5 - 1 sec to pass before checking the AGC voltage, after moving the antenna.

WLDM001EnC

103

Installation Manual
Chapter 6: Antenna Alignment

Note: The alignment procedure should be performed for one antenna at a time. If the initial alignment error is large, however, you may need to begin by moving both antennas to achieve contact.

1. Connect the voltmeter to the AGC port on the RFU. The voltmeter will always show a value of at least 0.5V if the radio terminal is working correctly. If the antenna is receiving an unknown signal, or a signal from a radio terminal which has the wrong security code, the voltmeter will show an oscillating value. 2. Maximize the voltmeter value by using the azimuth and elevation screws to adjust the antenna. The maximum possible adjustment is 15 degrees in azimuth and 20 degrees in elevation. Note: If the alignment error is more than approximately 4 degrees, there is a risk that the maximum AGC voltage that you have found is for a side lobe. The maximum value of the AGC voltage is lower for a side lobe than for the main lobe.

Azimuth fine tuning Loosen the two bolts (A) 1/2 turn. Use the azimuth screw (B) to adjust the antenna. Elevation fine tuning Loosen the three bolts (C) 1/2 turn. Use the elevation screw (D) to adjust the antenna. Note: Do not loosen the bolts too much. There should be a slight friction when aligning the antenna. 3. Use the torque wrench to secure the antenna position by tightening the bolts for both azimuth and elevation. These are indicated in the figure above (A and C). Note: The torque should be 35 Nm 10% when tightening the screws. The azimuth and elevation screws must not be touched after the locking screws have been tightened. 4.

Redundancy Configuration
The radio terminals working in a redundancy configuration must be able to communicate with each other via the management network. Configuring Redundancy Click on Terminal Redundancy and set the following parameters: Redundancy function Select the type of redundancy function. No redundancy. 1+1 protection Redundancy state Select if the terminal should act as active or standby terminal. Standby: The radio terminal acts as standby terminal. The redundancy partner must be set as active terminal. Active: The radio terminal acts as active terminal. The redundancy partner must be set as standby terminal. If you change the redundancy state on one terminal when the redundancy function is up and running, the state of the redundancy partner will be forced to the opposite state.

Switch mode

Select how to switch between active and standby state. On command only: You must manually change the redundancy states for the radio terminals when a failure occurs. Mutual agreement: When an event configured to trigger a switch occurs in one of the radio terminals, the terminal will verify with the other terminal that the criteria for switching are fulfilled before changing the redundancy states for the terminals. Autonomously: When an event configured to trigger a switch occurs in one of the radio terminals, the terminal will verify itself that the criteria for switching are fulfilled before autonomously changing the redundancy states for both terminals.

Time after switch during which a reverse switch is inhibited

Enter the time (seconds) after a switch during which the redundancy state can not be switched back. The inhibition time prevents an active alarm from forcing recurrent redundancy state switches. It is only applicable for the switch modes "Mutual agreement" and "Autonomously". Max. = 65535

Redundancy partner position

Select the backplane partner that should work together with the radio terminal in the redundancy configuration. It is possible to select backplane positions regardless of whether a radio terminal is present or not. It is not possible to select the backplane position for this terminal, or to select backplane partners already part of another redundancy configuration.

Traffic Channels in a 1+1 Configuration


For a radio terminal used in a 1+1 protected configuration, you must connect the traffic channels straight through from the TIU to the RF side. The two radio terminals used in the redundancy configuration have a combined traffic capacity corresponding to one radio terminal, i.e. you can only connect each traffic channel in one of the radio terminals, not both. Only those traffic channels not already connected in the redundancy partner are available for connection in the other radio terminal. The Cross-connect function will automatically route the traffic channels from the standby terminal to the active terminal, so that all traffic channels are transmitted by the active terminal.
