WARNING!
Exposure to strong high frequency electromagnetic fields may cause
thermal damage to personnel. The eye (Cornea and lens) is easily exposed.
Any unnecessary exposure is undesirable and should be avoided.
In Radio-Relay communication installations, orderly setup for normal
operation, the general RF radiation level will be well below the safety limit.
In the antennas and directly in front of them the RF intensity normally will
exceed the danger level, within limited portions of space.
Dangerous radiation may be found in the neighbourhood of open waveguide
flanges or horns where the power is radiated into space.
To avoid dangerous radiation the following precautions must be taken:
r

During work within and close to the front of the antenna; make
sure that transmitters will remain turned off.

Before opening coaxial - or waveguide connectors carrying RF


power, turn off transmitters.

Consider any incidentally open RF connector as carrying


power, until otherwise proved. Do not look into coaxial
connectors at closer than reading distance (30 cm). Do not look
into an open waveguide unless you are absolutely sure that the
power is turned off.

WARNING!

This equipment contains components which are sensitive to "ESD" (Electro Static Discharge).
It is therefore essential that whenever disassembling the equipment and/
or handling PC boards, special precautions to avoid ESD have to be made.
These precautions include personnel grounding, grounding of work bench,
grounding of tools and instruments as well as transport and storage in
special antistatic bags and boxes.

WARNING!

DO NOT remove or insert the Transmitter / Receiver group with DC


power on. See Section V - Unit Replacement for details.

To avoid traffic disturbance during maintenance on one of the RF


channels in a 1+1 protected system, the traffic should be manually
locked to the protection channel before any work is started. See
Section V - Unit Replacement for details.

PACKING, HANDLING AND STORING

1.1

Packing
Any sensitive product, i.e. Printed Circuit Boards, are packed in special
antistatic handling bags or boxes.
It is therefore essential that whenever unpacking or disassembling the
equipment and or handling printed circuit boards etc., special precautions
to avoid ESD (Electro Static Discharge) have to be made, such as using
wrist grounding or corresponding protection.
Dimensions and weight of each case are specified in the "Packing
specifications" issued for the respective shipment.

1.2

Marking
Marking is done according to customers requirements. If such information
is unavailable, the equipment is marked in the following way:
Customers address
Contract No.
Site Name (if known)
Case No.

1.3

Transportation
The transport containers are prepared for shipment by air, truck, railway
and sea, suitable for handling by forklift trucks and slings.
The cargo must be kept dry during transport and storage.
For sea-transport, deck-side shipment is not permitted and carrier-owned
cargo containers should be used.

1.4

Storing and Inspection Upon Arrival


Look for damages on the packaging. Count the number of cases received
against shipping documents.
Report any damage or missing items to Nera ASA by telex or fax. A short
description of damages, preferably including photographs, should be sent
as soon as possible.

B1093 Rev. C

I Installation

1.0

The equipment is an electronic device which should be handled with


care. It should be stored in dry, cool conditions, out of direct sunlight.
A moisture absorbing bag is taped inside the unit to minimise condensation during transportation. This is to be removed at installation.
No maintenance is required when stored according to particulars above.

1.5

Preparation for Installation


Complete the required civil works. Transport all the equipment to site.
Unpack the equipment and inspect for damage during transit to site and
make sure that the correct quantities of goods have arrived.
Units with static discharge protection should not be unpacked until
insertion into its place (slot) in the equipment takes place. Discharge
yourself before insertion of the unit.

1.6

Handling
It is recommended that components are stored and transported to the
installation site in their original packing cases. If items are unpacked for
storage, they should be handled with care and protected during transportation by similar protective materials.

B1093 Rev. C

The waveguide flange on the ODU box and in most cases on the antenna
feed, are made of aluminium. The flanges of the flexible waveguide are
normally made of brass.

Note 1
Waveguide flanges made of different materials such as aluminium and
brass shall never be directly connected as galvanic corrosion will occur. A
bimetallic shim must be inserted between the flanges. This shim has a
copper surface at one side and aluminium on the other. Make absolutely
certain that the aluminium side faces the aluminium flange. The bimetallic
shim is part of the Gasket/Screw Kit.
Note 2
Use two alignment screws at the waveguide flange (short sides) in order to
align the shim and mating the flange correctly to the flange of the ODU
Box. Alignment screws are part of the Gasket/Screw Kit.
Note 3
Apply silicon sealing compound around shim edge and flange after
mounting, to prevent any ingress of water. (Sealing compound is not part
of the Gasket/Screw Kit.)

ANTENNA ALIGNMENT
If an antenna other than Nera 0.45m or Nera 0.6m is used, follow the
manufacturers mechanical alignment instructions. Proceed to Chapter
7.2 for details on fine-aligning the antenna.

Antenna alignment
B1093 Rev. C

The antennas should be properly mounted and polarized in the same way.
It must be possible to transmit from one antenna and receive on the other.
The best way is to have a transmitter and a receiver connected to both
antennas.

7.1

Procedure for Coarse-alignment


Adjust both antennas to correct directions as precisely as possible by using
magnetic compass or optical sight.

7.2

Procedure for Fine-alignment


Fine adjustment is achieved by sending a signal from one of the antennas.
On the receive side various methods may be used.
a) Measure the AGC voltage from the transceiver
b) Read the received level on a spectrum analyzer
c) Measure the received power with a Power Meter
The AGC Voltage is available at a test point on the rear side of the ODU.

57

I Installation

The purpose of the alignment procedure is to obtain maximum signal level


and cross polarization discrimination by aligning two antennas in opposite
directions.

Mute the transmitter at the receive station to exclude interference from this
source.
It is recommended that the person adjusting the antenna can read the
instrument while adjusting. It is very easy to be misled if the signal is
fading.
If the AGC voltage is used, a voltmeter should be connected and monitored
by the person who is adjusting the antenna. Adjust alternatively in azimuth
and elevation until the received signal is at maximum level. Try a few times
in each direction.
The antenna should be turned so much that the first sidelobes are seen,
thereby ensuring that the antenna is aligned on the main lobe.
When the antenna is correctly adjusted, secure all bolts. Monitor the
instrument during this operation and if necessary realign the antenna.
When adjustments are completed on the first antenna, this should be used
for transmitting while the same procedure is performed on the opposite
antenna.

7.3

Cross Polarization Adjustment


After alignment of the antenna, the antenna feed should be adjusted
horizontally and vertically. Loosen the flange which secures the feed to the
reflector. Align the feed by using a spirit leveller. Secure the flange.

7.4

Final Control
When all adjustments are performed check that the input level agrees with
the one theoretically calculated. If the input level is too low, adjust the
antennas once more. Finally, ensure that all bolts and nuts are properly
mounted and secured.

GENERAL
This chapter describes how to operate the equipment and do simple cable
connections, unit/circuit board replacements etc.

BOARD/UNIT REPLACEMENT
When properly installed (see the installation procedure) the NL18x-B
equipment is very easy to maintain. However a few things have to be
observed:
If a circuit board has to be removed from the IDU or ODU, check that all
cable connectors on the board, if any, has been disconnected.
Note!
Never try to pull out a circuit board with the cable connectors in place.
When removing cable connectors, always do it very gently in order not to
damage the board connectors.
See Fig 3-2.
When a cable connector is to be connected to the equipment, always do it
very gently.
When a circuit board is to be removed, use the board-ejector(s), if any, very
gently.
If a new circuit board is to be installed, observe that the board-ejectors are
in line with the front of the board before it slides into position in the shelf,
see Fig. 2-1.
If a Transceiver or a Modem or both has to be removed, the corresponding
power supply should be switched off before the units are removed.
If the Modem board in the ODU is to be removed, the Transceiver unit
covering it must be removed first, then the Modem can be pulled out. This
circuit board however, has not the same board ejectors as the other boards
but a shielding metal front, grab this front on top and bottom and pull out
the board.

B1093 Rev. C

61

II Operators Guide

2.0

A new board is inserted into the same position by grabbing the metal front
in the same manner.
When the transceiver is to be replaced, a torque wrench must be used to
tighten the RF-connectors. Use a torque of 0.55Nm.
When removing the power supply, be careful not to damage the contact
strips on the right hand side of the unit.

Telephone Connection
Selective Call Version

Use of collective call


- When *-button or Call-button is pushed on any station, there will be
a ring in all telephones connected to the omnibus. The ring will last as long
as the button is held.

Use of selective call


- The two digits has to be sent within approx. five seconds. If one of these
digits is wrong, just wait for five seconds and then send two correct digits.
The correct telephone will then ring in two periods of approx. one second.
If a telephone has been reached with the selective number, a tone can be
heard on the omnibus channel.

External Loudspeaker
- The loudspeaker output is normally open on all stations. To mute all the
speakers connected to the omnibus, lift off your telephone and press #.
(This will also activate the Control 2 signal).

B1093 Rev. C

71

II Operators Guide

The Service Channel Interface Unit (SCI) is connected directly to the


omnibus without switching. Therefore no signalling is necessary to be
through connected. Once any telephone is off hook, it is connected.

3.5

Parity Error Measurements


Parity Error Measurement is available on TB1 (See Fig. 3-1 and Section
III, Chapter 11.2.4). When a pattern receiver is connected to the Parity
Error connector it will momentarily show one error, this is because the
output from the Parity Error driver is inverted. This means that the first
error, shown on the pattern receiver, should be subtracted from the final
result to get a correct measurement.

3.6

External Insert Channel Synchronization


External Insert Channel Synchronization is available at J90 (See Fig. 3-1
and Section III, Chapter 5.2).
See ITU-T rec. G.703 for signal specifications.

SYSTEM OPERATION
The following subchapters describe how to operate different parts of the
CelLink equipment to obtain maximum performance.

Front connections on Transceiver and Modem


The Transceiver Unit has connections for input/output of RF and IF signals
on the front. A separate output for RF-input level voltage is also supplied,
this is the same voltage which is available trough the Supervision system,
accessible on the Hand Held Terminal, (HHT), the operation of the HHT
is described in Chapter 5.0, this voltage can be monitored by a multi
meter. Each Transceiver and connected Modem are supplied by a separate
power supply. This makes it possible to switch off only one Transceiver/
Modem combination without disturbing the other Channel in a 1+1
system. When monitoring the RF input level, ground for the multimeter
can be found on top of the radio shelf, below the upper grip.
Fig. 4-1 Shows the front of the Transceiver unit. Each connector and
alarm LED is named to simplify user operation.

Use of Switches on front of circuit boards


This subchapter describes how the switches on front of different circuit
boards are operated and their functionality. The descriptions start with the
circuit boards in the ODU.
A standard Frequency Diversity terminal has no circuit boards in the ODU
with switches at the front. A Hot Stand-by terminal however has the Hot
Stand-by Switch Control board with a switch on front of it which may be
operated to lock the transmission on to one of the XMTRs. This circuit
board is shown in fig. 4-2, with explanation on how to use the switch.

Each channel's Baseband ACU measures power supply voltages and AGC
voltage for the channel. The Analogue/Digital converter has 4 analogue
inputs and the resolution is 8 bits (256 levels). The value from the
converter is converted to a voltage reading before it is displayed on the

Adaptive Alarms
Adaptive alarms are automatically included by the software system. If
these alarms are high at power-up, they are not included. An alarm input
will not be included until a low to high transition has been detected on that
input. From then on the input will behave as an normal input. The alarm
input must be low for 10 seconds prior to the low to high transition.

The configuration of Net A and Net B (NI 1 and NI 2) network ports are
done using the parameters in the following table. When a network port e.g.
Net A (NI 1), is connected to another SU, the address of that SU is entered
in parameter NetA_SU and NetA_Sec. These parameters must be entered
to get correct operation of Bypass 352kb/s function and Network Element

Select the calling number (address) for the PABX Adapter by setting one
switch in ON position on the 10 pos. DIL-Switch (S100). The figures from
0 - 9 is marked on the PCB. E.g., if 8 is chosen, #8 have to be dialled to get
connected to the PABX. Off hook and detected # will start a necessary
control signal to connect a PABX, and when 8 is detected on the Adapter,
the correct PABX is connected to the party line.

9.2

Strapping of Service Channel, 2NF468A/B


2W (two-wire) from PABX is connected via the IDU Connection panel to
the Adapter by means of a special cable. Connect the 2W to TB1, pin 15
and pin 16.
Set strap W101 and W102 in pos 1-2, 4-5 and 7-8 to route the actual signals
between 2NF468A/B and 2N579A via the cable.
Set strap W210 ON. This strap simulates an off hook situation for the voice
band and leads to a constant full D/A - A/D conversion. This is necessary
whenever any analogue connection is made to J1.
The voice frequency signal connection between the Service Channel board
and the Adapter board is 4W to obtain galvanic isolation between the
PABX and the Radio equipment. If the line loss is high, it is possible to
compensate for the loss in signal level by adjusting attenuators on the
Service Channel board.
DIL-Switch S601 is for signals from PABX, while S602 is for signals to
PABX. (See description for 2NF468A/B).
The strap W604 must be ON to route the 4W input internally on 2NF468A/
B.

Protection Unit
An electrical cable interconnection between IDU and ODU requires an
over-voltage protection for both the 8.96 / 37.356 Mb/s lines and the power
supply. This to prevent an equipment breakdown during lightning. The
lightning protection unit is an integrated part of the connection panel.
The power supply to the ODU will usually be distributed from the IDU, but
a supply from a local power supply is optional (by using conn. P2). The
Figure below shows the settings for Normal Position (supply from IDU)
and Local Position (local supply).

1.0 FREQUENCY SETTING PROCEDURE, 7 to 13 GHz


The radio frequency of NL18x-B Family, is controlled by frequency synthesizers.
The radio channel is selected by internal DIP-switches in the radio
unit. Changing radio channel is done by the following step by step
procedure.
NB! Extension card or cable has to be used during the following
procedure

1. Remove the small cover in the lower part of the radio unit.
2. The transmit and receive frequencies are set separately. S401 controls
the receiver frequency and S501 the transmitter frequency.
3. Identify the actual channel. See frequency tables in chapter 3. Find
the corresponding binary setting for the switch (right column). The
physical switch setting for S401 and S501 is explained in figure 1-1.

5. Adjust the Receiver oscillator tuning screw (situated on the rear side of
the Transceiver unit, near the top) according to the LED indicators
H101 and H102. Adjust the tuning screw slowly to avoid that the right
frequency is passed.
a) If H101 is on: turn the tuning screw counter-clockwise until H101
turns off.
b) If H102 is on: turn the tuning screw clockwise until H102 turns off.
Both LEDs and LED H401 should be off after this adjustment,
assuming an ambient temperature between +20C and +30C.
6. Press S402 once more to verify proper adjustment.
7. Set the correct switch positions (S501) and press S502. The LED H501
and one of the LED's H103 or H104 should illuminate.

IV Freq. Setting

4. Set the correct switch positions (S401) and press S402. The LED H401
and one of the LEDs H101 or H102 should illuminate.

8. Adjust the Transmitter oscillator tuning screw (situated on the bottom


side of the transceiver unit) according to the LED indicators H103 and
H104. Adjust the tuning screw slowly to avoid that the right frequency is passed.
a) If H103 is on: turn the tuning screw counter-clockwise until H103
turns off.
b) If H104 is on: turn the tuning screw clockwise until H104 turns off.
Both LEDs and LED H501 should be off after this adjustment,
assuming an ambient temperature between +20C and +30C.
9. Press S502 once more to verify proper adjustment.

FREQUENCY SETTING PROCEDURE, 15GHz


The radio frequency of NL185-A is controlled by a frequency
synthesizer.
The radio channel is selected by an internal DIP-switch in the
radio unit. Changing radio channel is done by the following step
by step procedure.
Note! Extension card or cable has to be used during the
following procedure

1. Remove the small cover in the lower part of the radio unit.
2. Identify the actual channel. See frequency tables in chapter 3. Find
the corresponding binary setting for the switch (right column). The
physical switch setting for S401 is explained in figure 2-1.
3. Set the correct switch positions (S401) and press S402. The LED H401
should flash briefly and one of the LEDs H101 or H102 should
illuminate.
4. Adjust the oscillator tuning screw according to the LED indicators
H101 and H102.
a) If H101 is on: turn the tuning screw clockwise until H101 turns off.
b) If H102 is on: turn the tuning screw counter-clockwise until H102
turns off.
Both LEDs should be off after this adjustment, assuming an ambient
temperature between +20C and +30C.
5. Press S402 once more to verify proper adjustment.

The Low band version of the transceiver, transmits in the lower half
frequency band and receives in the upper half frequency band.
The Upper band version of the transceiver transmits in the upper half
frequency band and receives in the lower half frequency band.
In both cases the duplex spacing is fixed to 420 MHz.
If the transmitter is set to channel 1a, the receiver will automatically be set
to channel 1a', and vice versa.

GENERAL
Before any error checking can be undertaken using the supervision system
the following must be observed:
r The Supervisory unit must be functioning normally.
The two main equipment alarms, Urgent Alarm and Main Alarm,
outputs are both given trough relays. The same outputs are also connected
to external outputs at the top of the IDU and shown by LEDs on front of
the IDU.
Only a Hand-Held Terminal, (HHT), is required to carry out the fault
finding tests.
Note!
The Trouble Shooting procedures are intended as a guideline for fault
location and may not cover all fault constellations.

2.0

SYSTEM TROUBLE SHOOTING BY MEANS


OF THE HHT

The fault finding procedure is split into two parts, depending on whether
the Urgent Alarm is lit or not. The Urgent Alarm is the most important
of the two main equipment alarms while the Main Alarm is the most
general alarm in the system and thereby most likely to be observed as it
includes all sub alarms. The Main Alarm is thus always checked out first
when an alarm situation occurs and if the Urgent Alarm is also observed
the fault finding procedure is done on the basis of it. The flow diagrams
used by the fault finding procedures are shown in chapter 3, ERROR
CHECKING FLOW DIAGRAMS. All named alarms in the flow diagrams are listed in chapter 4. ALARM LIST.

B1093 Rev. C

211

V Fault Finding

All trouble shooting is depending upon using the Hand-Held Terminal,


(HHT), to check out internal unit and board alarms to pinpoint which unit
or board who includes the faulty circuit. It is then a matter of interchanging
the unit or board by a new one and at the same time taking some simple
precautions to avoid transmission interruption in other channels, 1+1
systems, in the equipment.

2.1

Main Alarm
The Main Alarm, red LED, is situated in the mid part of the IDU's front
panel, under the Urgent Alarm LED. When this LED is lit, an internal
equipment alarm is detected on one or more units or boards. This alarm
LED is also lit when the Urgent Alarm is on but not vice versa. The cause
of the alarm may not be disastrous for the equipment and thus not need
immediate action. If the Urgent Alarm is on the fault finding procedure
for that situation is used.

2.1.1

Fault finding
This procedure is based upon using flow diagrams, and starts out by using
the MAIN ALARM error checking procedure, where it is first checked
out whether the URGENT ALARM is present or not, if yes the flowchart
proceed to the URGENT ALARM error checking procedure. The
MAIN ALARM procedure also uses the three sub procedures SUB
PROCEDURE A, CHANNEL PROCEDURE and COMMON UNIT
PROCEDURE. When the faulty unit or board is located, the next action
is to interchange it by a new one.
Fig. 3-1 shows the flow diagram for the MAIN ALARM error
checking procedure.

2.2

Urgent Alarm
The Urgent Alarm, red LED, is situated in the mid part of the IDU's front
panel. When this LED is lit, it signals a total, (all 2Mb/s channels for
4x2Mb/s systems or the single 8Mb/s channel for 1x8Mb/s systems), main
data transmission loss in one or more channels in the equipment. Insertion
channels may also be lost while the alarm is on but that situation is not a
required condition to trigger the alarm. This alarm requires immediate
action to restore data transmission.

2.2.1

Fault finding
The fault finding uses the URGENT ALARM error checking procedure.
The first action in the procedure is to identify the channel which has the
transmission break down and then checking all the power supplies. The
next action is to check if it is a split mount system and do error checking
accordingly by using the SUB PROCEDURE A, then checking out the
RCVR and XMTR direction by using the CHANNEL PROCEDURE, if
it is a 1+1 system both channels are most likely to be out of function and
have to be checked out for errors by using the same procedure twice.
Fig. 3-2 shows the URGENT ALARM error checking flow diagram.

ERROR CHECKING FLOW DIAGRAMS

V Fault Finding

The following flow diagrams are divided into two parts one for the MAIN
ALARM and another one for the URGENT ALARM. When URGENT
ALARM is detected this part is used firstly then the MAIN ALARM part.
All alarm numbers given in the flow diagrams refer to the column
labelled HHT Alm. No in the alarm list in chapter 4.
