The mounting bracket for surface or wall mounting is a separately-ordered item, Part No.
012-910025-001. The grounding stud is supplied from the standard CTR mounting kit.
Screws/fasteners for attaching the bracket to a wall or surface are not included - the
installer is to supply and fit suitable fasteners. An installation instruction is provided in the
wall-mount kit.
Installation Procedure
Refer to the preceeding diagrams for rack and wall mount installation. This procedure is for
a standard rack-mount installation:
l Fit the CTR to the left or right side of the rack using the supplied mounting
brackets and fastening screws. First fit the grounding stud to the short bracket.
l Ground the CTR from its grounding stud to the rack/frame ground bar using a
length of 4 mm2 (AWG 12) green PVC insulated stranded copper wire with a
suitably sized ground lug at the ground bar end (supplied by the installer). The
grounding stud accommodates ground cables up to 16 mm2 (AWG 6). The stud
also provides jack plug connection for a wrist strap.
l If the equipment rack/frame requires grounding, use 16 mm2 (AWG 6) wire
from its ground bar to the station ground.
Grounding Safety:
o Do not assume an existing rack or mounting frame is correctly grounded.
Always check the integrity of the ground connections, which must include a
check through to the master ground for the station. The master ground bar
should be located at the point of cable entry to the equipment building. Ground
wires must provide a direct, low impedance path to the master ground bar.
o Do not connect other equipment to the same grounding cable as the CTR. Each
item of equipment in a rack must be separately grounded to the rack ground
bar.
o The CTR must be located in the same immediate area (adjacent
racks/cabinets) as all other equipment with a (ground) connection to a
common DC supply source.
l Install the SD card label-side-down in the slot at the rear of the CTR chassis.
WARNING: : CTR must be powered OFF when installing or removing the SD card.
Where operation from a 24 Vdc PSU is required, an external unit is required to convert the
24 Vdc (+ve or -ve) to -48 Vdc for connection to the CTR 8300.
CAUTION: The DC power supply must be UL or IEC compliant for SELV (Safety Extra Low
Voltage) output (60 Vdc maximum limited).
Fuses
The chassis is fitted with a fast-acting 10A fuse. The fuse is not field-replaceable.
l The circuit breaker is the power disconnect device. Do not use the front-panel
connector for live power connect/ disconnect.
o Trim to length, and connect the Live -48 Vdc wire to the breaker, and the
Ground wire to ground/ +ve.
o Measure the voltage on the CTR DC power connector. The voltage should be
-48 Vdc, +/-2 Vdc for a non battery floated supply, and nominally -56 Vdc for
a battery floated supply. (Operational limits are -40.5 to - 57 Vdc).
CAUTION: Always check the integrity of the DC power supply right to its source. Never
assume that the supply provided to the pick-up point in a rack is correct.
CAUTION: CTR DC power, IF, tributary, and NMS cables are not to be routed with any AC
mains power lines. They are also to be kept away from any AC power lines that cross
them.

Power Supply -48 Vdc CTR has the +ve pin on its DC power supply connector connected to the
chassis.
It must be used with a -48 Vdc power supply which has a +ve ground; the
power supply ground conductor is the +ve supply to the CTR.
The power supply unit must have an accessible power disconnect device
(main switch).
D.C. Supply Ground CTR equipment has a connection between the earthed conductor of the
Connection d.c. supply circuit and its earthing conductor.
CTR equipment must be connected directly to the d.c. supply system
grounding electrode conductor or to a bonding jumper from a grounding
terminal bar or bus to which the d.c. supply system grounding electrode
is connected.
Switching or disconnecting devices must not be in the grounded circuit
conductor between the d.c. source and the point of connection of the
grounding electrode conductor.
l The CTR chassis must be grounded to the station or master
ground, which must be the same ground as used for the DC power
supply system.
l Normally this is achieved by grounding the CTR to the ground bar
in its equipment rack or frame. This bar is most often located to
one side of the rack or at rack top or bottom. In turn, the ground
bar is grounded to the station ground.
Location of Power Supply The power supply unit for CTR equipment must be located within the
same premises as the CTR equipment.
Wall Mounting
Figure 9. Wall-Mount Bracket
ODU Mounting
ODU mounting provides a quick and convenient installation using the standard Aviat ODU
mount as the attachment point.
The ODU mounting bracket is used to "piggy-back" the CTR 8380 onto the ODU mount.
l This mount bracket is compatible with ODU 600 and ODU 600sp ODU mounts only.
For all other cases use pole or wall mount options for the 8380.
Figure 12. Assembly of ODU Mounting Brackets
Pole Mounting
Pole-mounting is also an option using telco-standard stainless steel banding to strap the
wall-mount plate to a pole. The banding should be 13 – 22mm wide, and all associated
buckles and fittings must also be stainless steel. The banding must be installed so that there
are no sharp external edges.
Heavy duty stainless steel hose clips may also be used, however banding systems are
recommended.
It is the responsibility of the installer to supply suitable banding, accessories, and an
appropriate tensioning device.
CAUTION: Secure the mounting bracket to the pole with CTR 8380 attached to prevent
deformation of the mounting bracket.
n Do not, for example, stack a CTR 8380 directly on top of another CTR 8380.
o Always check the installation to ensure that an air flow can be maintained to
and around the CTR 8380 cooling fins by normal thermal displacement
ventilation.
l Ambient temperature is defined as the air temperature in the immediate vicinity of
a CTR 8380.
o Maximum ambient temperatures must not be exceeded.
o CTR 8380 performance is not guaranteed when ambient temperatures exceed
maximums, and/or where air flow to cooling fins is restricted.
o Excessive heat is the number one cause of premature equipment aging and
failure.
CAUTION: The external surfaces of CTR can be hot to touch, especially at high ambient
temperatures.
Installation Procedure
l Refer to the preceding diagrams for the wall mount, ODU mount, and mast
mount installation.
l Ground the CTR 8380 from its grounding stud to the closest earthing point using
a length of 16 mm2 (AWG 6) green PVC insulated stranded copper wire
(supplied).
l If the CTR 8380 is mounted in a equipment rack/ frame, ensure that there is a 16
mm2 (AWG 6) wire from the equipment rack/ frame ground bar to the station
ground.
Grounding Safety:
o Do not assume that the mechanical mounting provides sufficient grounding of
the CTR 8380.
o Do not assume an existing ODU or Mast or mounting frame is correctly
grounded. Always check the integrity of the ground connections, which must
include a check through to the master ground for the station. The master
ground bar should be located at the point of cable entry to the equipment
building. Ground wires must provide a direct, low impedance path to the
master ground bar.
o Do not connect other equipment to the same grounding cable as the CTR 8380.
Each item of equipment in a rack must be separately grounded. When the CTR
8380 is mounted to ODU, each is to have a separate earth cable to the earthing
point. Do not connect the CTR 8380 earth to the ODU.
o The CTR must be located in the same immediate area as all other equipment
with a (ground) connection to a common DC supply source.
l For CTR 8380, the SD card is installed at manufacture and is a non-serviceable
part.
l The SD card holds the SW load, default/ current configuration, and as- ordered
capacity and feature licenses.
o CTR 8380 operates directly from the SD card.
o The SD card is identified by a unique serial number, which identifies a terminal
for capacity and feature license purposes. It also retains copy of the current
terminal configuration, and the previous configuration for roll-back purposes.
o The serial number of the SD Card in the unit is on a label on the side of CTR
8380. This is required when doing a license update on CTR 8380.
Figure 17. CTR 8380 SD Card Serial Number
Where operation from a 24 Vdc PSU is required, an external unit is required to convert the
24 Vdc (+ve or -ve) to -48 Vdc for connection to the CTR 8380.
CAUTION: The DC power supply must be UL or IEC compliant for SELV (Safety Extra Low
Voltage) output (60 Vdc maximum limited).
o Measure the voltage on the CTR DC power connector. The voltage should be
-48 Vdc, +/-2 Vdc for a non battery floated supply, and nominally -56 Vdc for
a battery floated supply (Operational limits are -40.5 to -57 Vdc).
o Ensure that the power is switched off via the circuit breaker before
connecting the power to the CTR 8380.
o Once the power cable is securely connected, switch on the power and
ensure that the CTR 8380 functions correctly.
CAUTION: The power cable does not comply to the standard for positive grounded
supplies with respect to the cable colors.
CAUTION: Always ensure that the power is connected to the DC Power connector and not
to the ODU ports.
CAUTION: Always check the integrity of the DC power supply right to its source. Never
assume that the supply provided to the pick-up point is correct.
CAUTION: CTR DC power, IF, tributary, and NMS cables are not to be routed with any AC
mains power lines. They are also to be kept away from any AC power lines that cross
them.
Fuses
The 8380 AC is fitted with a slow-acting 5A fuse. The fuse is not field- replaceable.
CAUTION: CTR IF, Ethernet and Fiber Optic cables are not to be routed with any AC mains
power lines. They are also to be kept away from any AC power lines that cross them.
Cable gland
l Material: Polyamid 6.6 (PA 6.6)
l Flammability: UL 94V-2/ UL94V-0
l Manufacturer: Gunther Spelsberg (Cena)
l Part number: MZKV20
l UL File: UL514B, (QCRV.E194051)
Assembly Instructions
l Mount the terminal on the din rail without tightening screws on the sides of the
terminal.
l Fit the din rail terminal on the junction box.
l Pass the power cable connected to the CTR 8380 AC through the first cable
gland and the second power cable connected to the main supply through the
second cable gland.
l Connect the conductors of the coaxial power cables together via the terminal in
the junction box, as shown in Figure 5-5 External cable junction box.
Note that the terminals will accept a conductor size not smaller than 18AWG (i.e. 18
to 14AWG), and the nominal conduit size 1/2 or 3/4".
l Close the junction box with the plastic screws provided.
Power On
Carry out a complete check of the installation. When confirmed as correct, insert the CTR
power connector and turn power on at the circuit breaker.
CAUTION: Once powered up any radio frequency units will be transmitting with the pre-
configured or ex-factory frequency and power settings unless the start-up transmit mute
option has been invoked. (All ODUs/RFUs shipped ex-factory have the transmit-mute set
as the default unless otherwise specified). If frequency and power settings are not
correct, interference can be caused to other links in the same geographical area.
CAUTION: Always use the circuit breaker to apply or remove power to a CTR 8300. Never
use the front panel Phoenix power connector as a connection/ disconnection device.
Next Steps
l To install and commission radio frequency units and associated antennas, refer to
the CTR 8500/8300 Installation Guide.
l To configure CTR 8300 using CLI refer to:
o CTR 8500/8300 Getting Started Guide: Configuration
o CTR 85oo/8300 CLI Reference Manual
o CTR 8500/8300 Configuration Guides (protocol-specific) for ESMC, ECFM,
EOAM, VLANs, IP, QoS, STP, LAG
l To configure CTR 8300 using its Web GUI, refer to the CTR Portal Manual.
CAUTION: Local safety regulations must be used if mandatory. Safety instructions in this guide should be
used in addition to the local safety regulations. Should there be conflict between safety instructions stated in
this guide and those from local regulations, mandatory local norms shall prevail.
Circuit Overloading When connecting the CTR, determine the effect this will have on the power supply
circuit protection devices, and supply wiring. Check CTR power consumption
specifications and the supply capability of the power supply system. This check of
capacity must extend to the DC power supply and not just to an intermediate
connection point.
Mechanical Loading When installing an indoor unit in a rack, ensure the rack is securely anchored.
Ensure that the additional loading of a CTR indoor unit or units will not cause any
reduction in the mechanical stability of the rack.
Restricted Access CTR must be installed in restricted access sites. The indoor unit and associated
power supply must be installed in restricted areas, such as dedicated equipment
rooms, closets, cabinets, or the like. Access to any tower and antenna location
must be restricted.
For USA:
In restricted access areas install the CTR system in accordance with articles 110-
26 and 110-27 of the 2002 National Electrical Code ANSI/ NFPA 70, or to any
subsequent update to this code for the relevant articles.
