Warnings!
Do not disconnect IF coaxial cable between the IDU and the ODU, in power on
condition, to avoid damaging the IDU and the ODU.
The IF cable between the IDU and the ODU is not only used for IF/control signal
connection but also supply power for the ODU, connecting a test equipment directly to
this terminal may damage it or touching the cable core may cause electrical shock.
Be careful, the top surface of the IDU is hot.

Remember to install the correct Band Pass Filter before installing the ODU!
Fit the O- ring into the antenna flange. The table below shows whether the small
or large O-ring is to be used.
NEC do not recommend the application of silicon grease to O-Rings
.
ANT-W/G - ODU
Notes: * Do not use both small O-ring and large O-ring simultaneously. Large O-
ring size is different according to frequency band, as follows:
For horizontal polarisation rotate the ODU until the plate marked H is at the top,
and locate the guide pin in the hole on the antenna. It is important to ensure that
the holes align and that the antenna and ODU flanges mate correctly.
For vertical polarisation, rotate the ODU until the plate marked V is at the top.
Note:
Only the 18-38 GHz band Andrew/RFS direct mount antenna has the option to
remote mount the ODU by use of waveguide. These are therefore supplied with
two O-rings; one large, one small, but only one O-ring is to be used. If the small
O-ring is used for ODU direct mount installation, a gap may occur between
ODU and antenna for RF interface. This may cause transmission problems
The 13/15 GHz band antenna does not have small O-ring as this antenna does
not have the waveguide-attach option.

Attach the ODU to the bracket using the four screws provided, and tighten to a
torque of 4Nm.
The ODU must be earthed to the pole using a 16mm2 flexible PVC coated
copper wire from the earth stud (FG) on the ODU. The earth wire should be
attached to a suitable point using a proprietary earth strap, or bolt. The
materials from which the hardware is manufactured must have low electrical
resistance (< 0.3 ohms), and must not cause galvanic reaction. This can be
prevented by using Denso tape or an inhibitor paste depending on the material
used. Where stainless steel hardware is used throughout, then only an inhibitor
paste is needed, otherwise both Denso, and inhibitor paste must be used.

NEC has developed a Hybrid Combiner/Splitter over the full range of microwave
frequencies for PASOLINK series digital microwave radio. This Hybrid comprises a
directional coupler, antenna interface, radio mounting interfaces and polarizers. The RF
signal power received by the single polarized antenna is equally distributed and sent to
two outdoor units through the Hybrid for 1+1 protected systems.
There are two types of NEC Hybrid Combiner/Splitter, one is a coaxial cable connection
type for 7/8GHz Bands and the other is Waveguide connection type for 13-38GHz Bands.
The NEC Hybrid is suited for Andrew or RFS Antenna. The maximum loss through the
Hybrid is <3.8dB, the port isolation being >20dB.
Each field fixing kit for Pasolink contains ODU sealing rings, antenna mounting screws
and antenna bracket fixing screws.
Remove flange protection and install O-ring to antenna interface ports
Mount the assembled unit to antenna using 4 screws. Gradually torque the antenna
mounting screws to 4.0Nm to ensure good microwave contact
ODU Installation
Fix two ODUs to the hybrid with four bolts, respectively.
Notes: 1. Be careful not to damage the O-ring.
2. *Tighten to 4.0Nm torque.
Remove flange protection (blue tape and/or cap) and install O-rings to ODU interface
ports.
Attach ODU1, orientated for correct polarisation to the hybrid ensuring that the
waveguide flange lines up without damaging the O ring.
Repeat for ODU2 on the other side.

Attach the dish to the pole, ensuring that there will be sufficient access for maintenance
and antenna alignment. Fix temporarily in position with the U-bolts at a convenient
height and orientation. Ensure that the drain holes point downwards.
Release the U-bolts sufficiently to raise the assembly to its required height and rotate the
assembly to point the antenna at the remote site. If the remote site is not visible, add the
current value of the difference between true and magnetic north to the bearing given in
the Microwave Link Deployment Form to obtain the approximate magnetic bearing for
compass alignment of the antenna. This value is to be found on maps. It does vary with
time and location, so the correct map for the area, and the latest version is to be used
Fix coaxial cable to the Connect the cables between antenna and
cable clamp with two bolts. ODU with torque wrench respectively
(pay attention to connecting torque in
order not to break connector screw).
In the case of the 7/8GHz V4 ODU, the N-type coaxial connector is the standard
method of presentation. SMA may also be an option.
A waveguide flange option (PDR 84) will be available during a future release.

The equipment is applied only SELV power supply, do not apply a voltage that
varies sharply. This may cause abnormal operation.
While the power supply is ON, do not connect/disconnect the power supply
connector. Otherwise, the DC-DC CONV may fail.
After turning ON the equipment, wait at least 1 minute before turning it OFF
again. Repeatedly turning the power ON and OFF within a short interval may
cause the IDU to fail.
In 1+1 system, when neither No.1 nor No.2 channel is working, first set the OPE
SEL switch to the desired (N0.1 or No.2) position and power on the selected MD
Unit or set the OPE SEL switch to neutral (Auto) position and power on both
MD units.
In 1+1 system, when either No.1 or No.2 channel is working, set the OPR SEL
No.1-No.2 switch on the IDU to the working channel side, then, turn on the
power switch of the not working channel.
Terminating the
power
connector
Step 1. Remove 3.0 to 3.5 mm of
insulation.
CABLE: AWG#18-24
Step 4. Squeeze the handle of the hand crimping tool until lachet is
released.
Step 5. Insert socket contacts into the power connector till they lock.
For cable lengths up to 90m, RG223/U is typically used, with appropriate '
N'type
connectors provided by the installer.
For cable lengths greater than 90m, Belden 9913 is typically used, with appropriate '
N'
type connectors provided by the installer.
Prior to installation and with the ODU end terminated, check the cable for continuity of
the screen and centre conductor. Check for short circuit between screen and centre
conductor.
Ensure that a service/drip-loop of about 1 metre is allowed for at the antenna end for
maintenance or relocation purposes. The excess cabling must be secured to the pole.
Route and secure the cable using either black UV resistant tie-wraps or studding and
REM straps or equivalent approved if agreed with a third-party site owner.
Where the cable is continuously supported by the cable tray in horizontal and vertical
runs, tie in securely at maximum intervals of 1000mm. Where the cable is run on cable
racking or its weight is not supported at all e.g. on walls or trays fixed vertically to
walls, tie in or fix at maximum intervals of 500mm.
Where there is insufficient space on the trays or racking, or they have not been provided,
it is permissible to fix the cables to the pole or direct to a tower leg, but not to LDF
Heliax feeder cables or AC power cabling.
NOTE: Care should be taken to ensure that the coaxial cable is not damaged by
strapping too tightly or strapping against sharp edges.
Danger: Do not disconnect the coaxial cable before turning off the power switch on the
IDU. Do not touch the IF cable jack core before turning off the power switch.

Weatherproofing
All external connections, either coaxial or waveguide, must be weatherproofed,
using self-amalgamating tape or an alternative.
Start immediately next to the casing and bind the connector and cable ends to
15mm beyond the cable connector, then continue to bind back up to the start
position. For an efficient seal, the self-amalgamating tape is to be pulled so as to
reduce its width by 50% and overlap each turn 50%.

Pasolink V4 Sub-band Change Procedure
Pasolink V4 MTD (1+0 / 1+1) PL035-01
If powering up a 1+1 system, when neither channel is working, first set the OPR
SEL switch to the desired (N0.1 or No.2) position and power on the selected
MD Unit or set the OPE SEL switch to neutral (Auto) position and power on
both MD units. When either No.1 or No.2 channel is working, set the
OPR SEL No.1-No.2 switch on the IDU to the working channel side, then turn
on the power switch of the not working channel.
After powering up the IDU, connect the PC to the common unit, via the serial
cable to the LA Port. Warning: Do not turn on the power of the IDU with a
cable connected between the PC and RA PORT of the IDU.
To access the remote end, the cable should be connected to the RA Port on the
common unit (LCT Remote Access only applies if the PM card is not fitted to
the IDU).
Wait for 10 seconds or more to turn OFF the power switch of the IDU again
after turning it ON. Do not repeat turning ON/OFF the power in a short
time, or the IDU may fail.

There are a number of possible reasons for the discrepancy, including equipment
calibration. Before suspecting equipment calibration, however, ensure that at least the
following have been eliminated.
Equipment parameters (transmit power and frequency) set up at variance with the LDF
requirement.
Equipment hardware (antenna size, flexi-twist waveguide length) installed at variance
with the LDF requirement.
Antennas cross-polarised.
Physical damage (distorted waveguide, dented antenna).
Path obstruction (near field or mid-path).
Extra temporary path attenuation due to rain or fog.
The in-built radio monitoring facility may prove useful. Use options: monitoring and
data The voltage readings should be within the ranges:

BER Tests
Connect a BER test set to the DDF at the local end and loop the equipped tributaries at
the far end. Set up the test set for the following bit pattern: 2E15-1, HDB3, 2Mbit/s.
Where the cable impedance is required, set to 75 ohms/120 ohms as appropriate.
Check that all alarms on the IDU at each site are extinguished i.e. all LEDs are green.
Check and record that traffic over the link has a zero error count over 5 minutes or
alternatively measure BER at each channel for 30 minutes to verify that it is 1x10E-9
or less.
It is usually preferred that each tributary is checked one by one. That way, crossed
tributaries will be found. Daisy chained testing is also acceptable as this will find
TX/RX crosses.

Setting Parameters
Perform the setting according to commissioning procedures, only when you replaced a SW
UNIT in the IDU with a spare.
The equipment is considered as fully warmed up after 30 minutes of being powered up
NEC does not recommend replacement of modules in an IDU unit. Whenever a fault
is identified an an IDU unit, the complete IDU unit should be replaced with a spare.
The faulty equipment is to be returned to the factory for repair.
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
Maintenance
Replacing ODU
Before replacing the ODU with a spare, ensure the spare operates in the correct sub-band
and TX high/low as appropriate. Here are procedures for replacing the ODU with a spare
after fault isolation:
Note: Procedures for No. 1 and No. 2 channels are identical.
Removing
1. Turn off the POWER switch on the front panel of the IDU
2. Remove waterproofing and loosen tightening rings of the IF IN/OUT connector (N) on
the ODU by turning them counter-clockwise,
3. Remove the waterproofing for waveguide connector type of ODU, and remove the
waveguide from the RF IN/OUT by removing the four waveguide fixing screws using a
screwdriver,
Note: Be careful not to damage the O-ring between the waveguide and ODU.
4. Remove earth cable
5. Loosen eight screws (M6) on the ODU
6. Remove the ODU
Notes: Be careful not to damage the O-ring between the waveguide and ODU.
7. Replace ODU with a spare, taking care when handling the coaxial/waveguide contact
surface. Torque up the ODU screws: 4.5Nm or Direct or Remote Mount, 2.8Nm to Hybrid
8. Reconnect the earth cable
9. Reconnect the IF cable and waveguide, if relevant
10. Redo all waterproofing and cable/waveguide supports
11. Turn on the POWER switch on the front panel of the IDU
12. Confirm the parameters and functionality of the replacement ODU and perform a BER
test if required.
The ODU is considered as fully warmed up 30 minutes after being power up
Unit Replacement -
ODU
Alarm conditions are identified through red alarm ODU LED indication on the IDU
or notification from external equipment
During alarm conditions, a red ODU indicator on the IDU is lit except when there is a
power supply failure
During maintenance, the IDU, and therefore ODU, should be set to maintenance
condition using a PC as shown. (This will normally suppress alarms caused by
maintenance activities)
In 1+1 system, when demounting the ODU from the antenna direct mounting HYB,
mount the attached SHORT PLATE to the demounted port of the HYB to avoid RF
power leaking from the hybrid and for waterproofing.
