Installation Requirements
This table lists cautions, rules, and guides for CTR chassis installation.
Ventilation CTR requires unobstructed air passage to each side for ventilation
purposes. There must be a minimum of 50 mm (2”) of side spacing
to any rack panels, cable bundles or similar. No space above or below
is required for ventilation purposes.
Maximum Ambient CTR is specified for a maximum ambient temperature (Tmra) of
Temperature +55° Celsius (131° Fahrenheit). This ambient applies to the
immediate operating environment of the CTR, which if installed in a
rack cabinet , is the ambient applying to its location within the
cabinet.
Physical stability Ensure that adding a CTR to a rack does not adversely impact the
physical stability of the rack.
Power Supply -48 Vdc The CTR and optional PWR modules have the +ve pin on their 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 must have an accessible power disconnect device
(main switch).
Power Supply +24 Vdc An external 24 Vdc to -48 Vdc converter is required at sites using 24
Vdc powering.
D.C. Supply Ground Con- CTR equipment has a connection between the earthed conductor of
nection the 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.
o 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.
o 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.
Equipment Location CTR must be located in the same immediate area (such as, adjacent
cabinets) as any other equipment that has a connection between the
grounded conductor of the same d.c. supply circuit and the
grounding conductor, and also the point of grounding of the d.c.
system. The d.c. system shall not be grounded elsewhere.
Location of D.C. Power Sup- The d.c. supply source for CTR equipment must be located within the
ply same premises as the CTR equipment.

CTR INSTALLATION GUIDE
Installation Procedure
This procedure is for rack-mounting CTR 8540.
1. Fit the rack mounting ears to the chassis with the grounding stud to left or
right side for the most direct ground wire path to the rack ground bar.
2. Locate the CTR in the equipment rack and secure it using four No.12 Phillips
dome-head screws from the CTR installation kit.
3. Ground the CTR from the 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.
4. 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.
5. Install the SD card in the slot at the rear of the CTR chassis. NOTE: CTR
must be powered OFF when installing or removing the SD card.
o The SD card holds the SW load, default/current configuration, and as-
ordered capacity and feature licenses.
n 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.
n If the SD card is transferred to another terminal, the new terminal
assumes the identity of the previous terminal.
o Insert the SD card into the slot label-side up, and carefully push-in until
it clicks home.
o To remove the card, push-in to release.
6. Fit Ethernet RJ-45 or fiber cables as required. For fiber, first install the
required SFP option.
7. Fit E1/DS1 tributary cables as required. For information on the available
tributary cable sets, refer to the CTR 8540 Installation Guide.
8. Carry out a complete check of the installation. When checked and correct:
o If option modules are to be installed, proceed to the next topic.
o If no option modules are to be installed, CTR is ready for connection to
power. See Power Supply on page 9.
CAUTION: Ambient temperatures must not exceed 55 0C (131 0F). If
installed in a rack cabinet, it is the ambient within the cabinet.

CTR INSTALLATION GUIDE
Power Supply
CTR and the optional PWR module require a -48 Vdc power supply (+ve earth), but
will operate to specification over a voltage range of -40.5 to -57 Vdc.
The return (+ve) pin on the power supply front-panel connector is clamped to
chassis ground via polarity-protecting power FETs.
l CTR and power module inputs are reverse polarity protected (the input fuse
will not blow if polarity is reversed).
Where operation from a 24 Vdc PSU is required, an external unit is required to con-
vert the 24 Vdc (+ve or -ve) to -48 Vdc for connection to the CTR and optional PWR
module. Contact Aviat Networks or your supplier for availability.
CAUTION: The dc power supply must be UL or IEC compliant for SELV
(Safety Extra Low Voltage) output (60 Vdc maximum limited).
Power cable
CTR and the optional PWR module are supplied with a power cable.
l A D-sub M/F 2W2 connector is fitted at one end, wire at the other.
l The cable is nominally 3 m (10 ft). The wires are 4 mm2 (AWG 12).
l The blue wire must be connected to live (-48 Vdc); the black wire to ground
(+48 Vdc).

CTR INSTALLATION GUIDE
CAUTION: CTR dc power, IF, tributary, auxiliary 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 On
Carry out a complete check of the installation. When confirmed as correct, turn
power on at the circuit breaker(s).
CAUTION: Once powered up any radio frequency units will be trans-
mitting 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.

CTR INSTALLATION GUIDE
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.
Fan Blades CAUTION: Fan card houses hazardous moving parts.
Restricted Access CTR 8540 must be installed in restricted access sites. The indoor unit and
associated power supply must be installed in restricted areas, such as ded-
icated 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.
