3 Power Box

The PMU board is the main part of the power box. It has the following functions:
z

Generating ringing current:

The PMU board provides ringing current for the orderwire.

z

Monitoring ringing current:

The PMU board tests whether the ringing current for the orderwire is normal, and reports the
alarms such as "invalid ringing current".
z

Monitoring the voltage.

The PMU can monitor the input voltage of the two 48 V and the 60 V power and report the
voltage value and voltage alarms. The voltage alarms include the over-voltage alarm and
under-voltage alarm.
The alarming threshold may be the default value in the system, or may be set by the user
according to the requirement. In different applications, the thresholds can be set as follows:
Over-voltage threshold: 60 V1 V for the nominal 48 V DC, or 71 V1 V for the nominal
60 V DC.
Under-voltage threshold: 41 V1 V for the nominal 48 V DC, or 51 V1 V for the
nominal 60 V DC.
z

Monitoring the temperature

The temperature sensor in the power box monitors the temperature. Note that the sensor
measures the ambient temperature inside the power box, not that in the subracks or boards.
z

Monitoring alarms

The PMU can monitor 16 external alarm inputs and 4 equipment alarms. It outputs the alarms
that occur and supervises the external environment.

The external 48 V or 60 V DC power is fed into the power box through a power cable.

The 48 V or 60 V DC power is distributed to every subrack and HUB through the

power input switches in the power distribution board.

Each board on the subracks is fed with proper power from the backplane through its own
power connector.

The secondary power module on each board converts the power into the operating
voltage required by each chip on the board at the same time.

The following describes the function of each DIP switch.

DIP switch 1 and DIP switch 2 are used to set communication with the exact subrack.

Different settings of the two switches enable the PMU to communicate with the right subrack.
The PMU reports the information such as environment variables and voltage to the ASCC of
the subrack. Then, the ASCC reports the information to the T2000 server.
In Table 3-3, different combinations and their corresponding meanings are listed.

DIP switch 4 is used to set the accessed power.

When the 48 V power is accessed, the switch should be turned down in normal cases.
When the switch is turned up, common overvoltage alarms can be suppressed (mainly
used in special areas).

When the 60 V power is accessed, the switch should be turned up in normal cases.
When the switch is turned up, common overvoltage alarms can be suppressed.

3 Power Box

When the 48 V and 60 V power supplies are accessed at the same time, the 60 V
power reports common overvoltage alarms if the switch is turned down. If the switch
is turned down, the overvoltage alarm cannot be reported when the 48V power is
overvoltaged.

3.4 Interface
The PMU in the power box can access external and internal alarms.
These alarms are accessed by ALARM and SERIAL interfaces of the PMU.

3.4.1 SERIAL Interface

The SERIAL interface is the internal alarm interface and connects with the subrack alarm
interface.
Figure 3-4 shows the cable between the SERIAL interface and subracks.
Cable W1 is connected with the upper subrack, cable W2 is connected with the middle
subrack and cable W3 is connected with the bottom subrack.
Cable W4 is used to transmit the driving signals to the cabinet indicators.
Figure 3-4 Cable between the SERIAL interface and the subracks

There are two types of alarms in the transmission equipment cabinet:

One is the visual alarm such as the red indicator alarm (critical) and the yellow indicator
alarm (major). The other is the audio alarm reported by a buzzer.
The audio alarm is mainly triggered by critical alarms. If the SCC board sends a critical alarm
signal, the red indicator flashes and the buzzer rings.
The alarm MUTE switch at the cabinet top or the ALC switch of the SCC board controls the
buzz sound.

3.4.2 ALARM Interface

The ALARM interface is the external alarm interface.

3 Power Box

This interface collects data from external alarm devices and outputs alarm value to centralized
alarm system.
The power box provides four alarm outputs, one for the major alarm, one for the critical alarm,
and the other two for the auxiliary On/Off value. If the centralized alarm system is in the
mode of audio alarm, the alarm mute function is required. The alarm signal is led out from the
ALARM interface of the PMU.
Figure 3-5 shows the pins of the ALARM interface (DB50).

3 Power Box

One end of external alarm cable contains the DB50 connector, while the other end is divided
into branches, contains two separate alarm output/alarm cascade connectors (DB9) and one
external alarm input connector (DB37).
See Figure 3-6.
Figure 3-6 Alarm cable

In Figure 3-6, W2 and W3 are alarm output/cascade cables. The alarm signals are cascaded
between cabinets through W2 and W3, and the last cabinet transmits the signals to the
centralized alarm system.
As the alarm output interface and the alarm cascade interface uses DB9 male connectors, a
3-m cable with DB9 female connectors on both ends is required to cascade the alarm signals
of two cabinets.
The power box provides 16 external alarm input interfaces. The alarm input function is
designed for remote monitoring of the external system (for example, environment monitoring
system) alarms. The user may configure the names of the 16 input alarms accordingly, and
thus achieve remote monitoring of external alarms together with the external system.
The external alarms include those caused by access control, smoke, and other environmental
factors. In other words, it accesses the environmental alarms in the equipment room for
centralized monitoring. The external alarms are accessed by the user, and processed with
software program to determine whether it is valid before being displayed on the T2000 server.
W1 is the external alarm input connector, DB37 female connector. A 10-meter alarm input
cable (DB37 connector on one end and the other end reserved) is connected to the W1 cable
to realize external alarm input.
The transmission system cannot monitor external alarms by itself. The monitoring needs the cooperation
of the external environment monitoring system of the customer.
