Warning: MSS1 output connectors for supplying power to MPT family ODU units (port 1 and
2) are NOT to be considered as ordinary Power Over Ethernet connectors as they can
supply up to 2 A. For this reason only the dedicated cable (ALU code 1AC016760006) can
be connected to these ports. WARNING DO NOT CONNECT ORDINARY POE CABLES TO
THESE PORTS.

Note: The above Warning applies to MPT radio applications where the Ethernet port
provides power to an MPT ODU unit. In these applications the 1AC016760006 cable MUST
be used.

In applications where the port does NOT provide power to the MPT ODU, such as when an
external power device is used to provide power to an MPT ODU or when the Ethernet port
is used strictly for data traffic, an appropriate Ethernet cable may be used.

Installation

The MSS-1 is supplied with a mounting kit with brackets for 19” rack already included. For
a 21” rack installation an additional bracket kit (3DB19041AA) is required.

Each MSS-1 unit shall be mounted on the rack taking care of the constraints for unit cooling
and cable routing. These constraints are summarized as follows:

1. If the adjacent module/unit is an active one (for example, MSS-4 or MSS-8) one unit
on the rack must be left free above and below the MSS-1 unit to be mounted.
2. If the adjacent module/unit is a passive one, half a unit free above and below the MSS-
1 is sufficient for cable routing.

MSS-1 power supply

The chosen solution for MSS-1 power supply is a raw cable + 2-Pin 2W2C plastic
connector to be assembled in the field. A power cable (2x1 mm2 - AWG17) is supplied
(1AC007800068) and two 2-pin 2W2C connectors are included in the Field Assembly Parts
Kit provided with the MSS-1 unit.

Power cable gauge smaller than 2x1mm2 (AWG 17) is not allowed for proper operation of
the MSS-1. The 2-pin 2W2C must be fitted at one end of the cable; the other end has to be
connected to the TRU.

The power supply voltage range is from -20 to -72 VDC and from +20 to +72 VDC. Current
range is from 7.5A to 20A, depending on input voltage and number of PFoE interfaces in
use.

Two battery connectors A & B are present in the MSS-1 front panel.

The blue wire must be connected to battery; the black wire to +/Return.

Note: Ferrites must be installed on the power cords. For more information, see the
instructions in the Field Assembly Parts kit (3DB19002AAAA).

Figure 5.117 — MSS-1 power supply

Note: The 2W2C DC power connector can be shorted inadvertently if applied at an angle.
Always insert with correct alignment.

Output alarm electrical characteristics

Each alarm output has two pins. Depending if the alarm is present or not the two relevant
pins will be in short circuit or in open circuit condition.

When the relay alarm output pins will be in short circuit condition, the alarm outputs will
tolerate a 50mA max current and the max voltage between the two pins never exceeds 2V.
When the relay alarm output pins will be in open circuit condition the alarm outputs will
tolerate 60V and the max leakage current will never exceed 0.2mA.

Input alarm electrical characteristics

The inputs can be configured to show if the relevant pin is open or short circuited with
respect to GND. Table 5.56 shows the alarm behavior.

Table 5.56 — MSS-1 Housekeeping input alarm behavior

Input pin status OPEN Logical 1 Alarmed or Not Alarmed


condition depends on
GND (0V) Logical 0 alarm polarity settings

The short circuit is detected if the input voltage is in the range -2V < V < 0V.

The open circuit is detected if the input voltage is in the range -60V < V < -2.2 V.

The negative voltage is allowed for compatibility with legacy equipment which have their
Housekeeping Output done with a PNP Open collector circuit.

The alarm inputs can tolerate -60V to +5V without damage.

Housekeeping cable for alarm management

The cable (3CC52201AA) permits management of alarm signals from the MPT Power Unit
or MPT Extended Power Unit using the MSS-1 or Enhanced Fan card housekeeping
interface.

Input alarm

The polarity of each input Alarm-Housekeeping is configurable. The state of each alarm
input is configurable by ECT/NMS in order to be active if the voltage on the input is high
(open contact) or if the voltage is low (closed contact). This second option is the default
value.

The polling rate of the input alarms is 1 second, no latch of input state is performed.

Input alarm electrical characteristics

open contact: 2V < |V|< 60 V; |I| < 0.2mA

closed contract: 0V < |V|< 2 V; |I| < 50mA

By default the presence of active alarm corresponds to closed relay contact with a common
wire available to the customer. By WebEML/NMS it is possible to change the polarity
independently for each alarm (both normally closed and normally open contacts are
available on the I/O connector).

When the power supply is down (and also when the power supply is on but the SW hasn't
yet initialized the HW), all the relays of the outputs of the alarms/housekeeping are in the
"open" state (HW default condition).

5.1.4.1 — Installing the Antenna

Antennas must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

• For direct-mounted ODUs the antenna includes a collar with integral polarization
rotator. Dependant on frequency band, these antennas are available in diameters up to
1.8 m (6 ft).
• Where standard antennas are to be used, the ODU must be installed on a remote-mount,
and a flexible waveguide used to connect to its antenna.

Before going to the site, check that you have the required installation tools as recommended
by the antenna manufacturer, and that you have data for positioning the antenna on the
tower, its polarization and initial pointing.

• For direct-mounted ODUs, polarization is determined by the setting of the polarization


rotator.
• For standard antennas, polarization is determined by the orientation of the antenna.

User Manual 3DB19901AEAA Edition 01 1303


5 — Installation

Note: Unused or incompletely used cable entry areas should be blocked off with foam

5.1.4.2 — Installing the ODU

The type is ODU300.

• All ODUs are designed for direct-mounting to a collar supplied with direct-fit antennas.
• All ODUs can also be installed with standard antennas using a flex-waveguide remote-
mount kit.

For single-antenna protected operation a coupler is available to support direct mounting of


the two ODUs to its antenna, or to support direct mounting onto a remote-mounted coupler.

Direct-Mounted ODUs

Overview

The ODU is attached to its mounting collar using four mounting bolts, with captive 19 mm
(3/4") nuts.

Figure 5.133 shows the ODU mounting collar, pole mount, and polarization rotator for a
Precision antenna.

Setting the Polarization

The polarization of the transmitted signal, horizontal or vertical, is determined by the


position of the polarization rotator fitted within the ODU mounting collar. The ODU is then
mounted on the collar to match the chosen polarization. The rotator is an integral part of the
antenna mount. Vertical polarization is the default setting. If the rotator is not set for the
required polarization, you must adjust its orientation. This topic includes typical adjustment
procedures for Radio Waves and Andrew antennas. Antenna installation instructions are
included with all antennas. These instructions include procedures for setting polarization.

Procedure for Andrew Rotator

To change the polarization of the Andrew antenna:

1. Release (do not completely undo) the six metric Allen-head screws approximately 10
mm (3/8 inch). Pull the collar forward and hold the rotator back, which will allow the
rotator to disengage from a notch in the collar, and turn freely.
2. Turn the rotator hub 90° until it locates back into a notched "timing recess" in the collar.
3. Check that the timing mark on the rotator hub has aligned with either a V or an H on
the collar to confirm polarization. Refer to this photo.
4. Ensure the rotator hub is correctly seated within its collar, then push the collar back
against the antenna mount and re-tighten the six screws.

Procedure for RFS Rotator

The polarization rotator is fixed by two Allen-head bolts.

To change the polarization of the RFS antenna:

1. Loosen the bolts. Refer to Figure 5.135


2. Rotate by 90°.
3. Check bolt heads are located in the slot recesses.
4. Refasten.

Figure 5.135 — RFS Rotator

Figure 5.135 shows a close-up of the polarization rotator being released from the vertical
position (left) and rotated clockwise towards horizontal (right).

ODU Polarization

Direct-Mount ODU Attachment Procedure

This topic describes the physical attachment of an ODU to an antenna mounting collar.

Related procedures are:

• Grounding the ODU


• Installing ODU Cables and Connectors

Attaching the ODU

An ODU should be installed with connectors facing down.

To attach the ODU:

1. Check that the ODU mounting collar, polarization rotator, ODU waveguide feed head
and O-ring, are undamaged, clean, and dry.
2. Set the polarization rotator for the required polarization. Refer to Setting the
Polarization - Setting the Polarization.
3. Apply a thin layer of silicon grease around the ODU feed-head O-ring.
A tube of silicon grease is included in the ODU installation kit.
4. Fully loosen the nuts on the four ODU mounting bolts.
5. Position the ODU so the waveguide slots (ODU and rotator) will be aligned when the
ODU is rotated to its end position.
6. Fit the ODU onto its mounting collar by inserting the bolts through receptor holes in
the collar, then rotate the ODU clockwise to bring the mounting bolts hard up against
the slot ends.

User Manual 3DB19901AEAA Edition 01 1309


5 — Installation

7. Carefully bring the ODU forward to fully engage the ODU feed head with the
polarization rotator.
8. Finger-tighten the four nuts, checking to ensure correct engagement of ODU with
mounting collar.
9. Ensure the ODU bolt-down points are correctly seated, then tighten the four nuts with
a 19 mm (3/4") torque wrench (it must be set to 35 Nm).
10. To remove an ODU, reverse this procedure.
When removing an ODU from its mount, ensure the ODU fastening nuts are fully
released.

Remote-Mounted ODUs

An ODU can be installed separate from its antenna, using a remote-mount to support the
ODU, and a flexible-waveguide to connect the ODU to its antenna. A remote mount allows
use of standard, single or dual polarization antennas. The mount can also be used to
remotely support a protected ODU pairing installed on a coupler. The coupler connects to
the remote mount assembly in the same way as an ODU.

When co-channel XPIC single antenna link operation is required, the two ODUs must each
be connected to their respective V and H antenna ports using remote mounts.

The remote mount clamps to a standard 114 mm pole-mount, and is common to all
frequency bands.

The following photos show the remote mount solution (P/N 3CC58046AAAA).

Flexible waveguides

Flexible waveguides are frequency band specific and are normally available in two lengths,
600 mm (2 ft) or 1000 mm (3.28 ft). Both flange ends are identical, and are grooved for a
half-thickness gasket, which is supplied with the waveguide, along with flange mounting
bolts.

To prevent wind-flex, a flexible waveguide or coax must be suitably fastened or supported


over its length.

1316 User Manual 3DB19901AEAA Edition 01


5 — Installation

Warning: The flexible waveguides have tin-plated brass flanges to minimize dissimilar-
metal corrosion between the aluminum feed-head on the ODU and the brass antenna
port(s) used on most standard antennas.

Where the length is greater than the 1 m (3.28 ft) contact your Alcatel-Lucent service
support center.

Grounding the ODU

To ground the ODU use the following procedure:

1. Locate the 2 m ground wire (6 mm2) in the ODU installation Kit. One end is fitted with
a crimp lug, the other is free.
2. Fasten the lugged end of ground wire to the ODU grounding stud. Before tightening,
ensure the cable is correctly aligned towards the tower.
3. Locate a position on a tower member for the ground clamp. This must be as close as
practical below the ODU for downward-angled positioning of the ground wire.
4. Scrape any paint or oxidation from the tower at the clamping point to ensure there will
be good low-resistance contact
5. Cut the ground wire so there will be a just a little slack in the wire when it is connected
to the ground clamp. A ground clamp is supplied as part of all ODU Cable Installation
and Suppressor kits.
6. Strip the insulation back by 25 mm (1 inch), fit into ground clamp, and firmly secure
the clamp to tower.
7. Liberally apply conductive grease/paste around the ground clamp to provide corrosion
resistance. Also apply to the ODU ground stud.

5.1.4.3 — Installing a Coupler

Coupler Overview

Couplers (combiners) are available for equal loss or unequal loss.

• For equal loss the attenuation per side is nominally 3 dB (3 dB), which applies to both
the transmit and receive directions, meaning the additional total one-way attenuation
compared to a non-protected link is 7 dB.
• For unequal loss the attenuation is nominally 1 dB/6 dB. They have application on rain-
affected bands, 13 GHz and above.

The rationale for using unequal ratios is that they can be shown to lower annual outage due
to rain fades as compared to links deployed with equal loss couplers.

Coupler Installation Procedure

Note: A coupler installation procedure is included with each coupler.

User Manual 3DB19901AEAA Edition 01 1319


5 — Installation

The following procedure summarizes installation of a direct-mounted coupler. A coupler


may also be installed remote-mounted, where a single flexible waveguide is used to connect
the coupler to its antenna.

Attaching a Direct-Mounted Coupler

Before installing a coupler check there will be sufficient mechanical clearance for the
coupler and its ODUs. There should be no clearance issues using approved antennas when
installed correctly on its mount with the appropriate left or right offset. However care must
be taken at locations where a non-standard antenna installation is required.

The ODUs are attached to the coupler as if attaching to an antenna except that there is no
polarization rotator associated with each ODU. Rather the coupler polarization is set to
match the V or H antenna polarization using 0 degree or 90 degree coupler interfaces,
which are supplied with the coupler. Couplers are default fitted with the vertical
polarization interface.

Note: To change the polarization refer to the procedure included in each coupler.

A coupler must always be installed onto its antenna before ODUs are attached to the
coupler.

To install a coupler:

For a vertically polarized antenna proceed to step 2.

For a horizontally polarized antenna begin at step 1.

(Antenna polarization setting is described in Setting the Polarization).

1. To change the coupler interface, remove by unscrewing its four retaining screws.
Replace with the required interface, ensuring correct alignment between the interface
and coupler body alignment indicators. Relocate the O-ring to the newly fitted
interface.
2. Remove all protective tape from the waveguide ports and check that the ODU/coupler
mounting collar, polarization rotator, coupler interface and O-ring, are undamaged,
clean, and dry.
3. Apply a thin layer of silicon grease around the coupler interface O-ring.

Note: A tube of silicon grease is included in ODU and coupler installation kits

4. Fully loosen the nuts on the four coupler mounting bolts.


5. Position the coupler so the waveguide slots (coupler and rotator) will be aligned when
the ODU is rotated to its end position.
6. Fit the coupler onto its mounting collar by inserting the bolts through receptor holes in
the collar, then rotate the coupler clockwise to bring the mounting bolts hard up against
the slot ends.
7. Carefully bring the coupler forward to fully engage the coupler feed head with the
polarization rotator in the mounting collar.
8. Finger-tighten the four nuts, checking to ensure correct engagement of coupler with
mounting collar.
9. Ensure the coupler bolt-down points are correctly seated, then tighten the four nuts with
an open-ended 19 mm (3/4") spanner.
10. To remove a coupler, reverse this procedure.

Figure 5.143 shows an installed coupler. Figure 5.144 and Figure 5.145 show a completed
installation with ODUs and grounding.

Related procedures are:

• Installing the ODUs; refer to Direct-Mount ODU Attachment Procedure. Note that
when attaching an ODU to a coupler there is no requirement to first set a polarization;
the ODUs are attached such that when rotated into position there is correct alignment
of the waveguide slots. ODUs may be attached such that cables exit to the right or left
of the ODU.
• Grounding an ODU; refer to Grounding the ODU.

Warning: It is necessary to add some extra-length for maintenance or orientation


modification of the antenna.

Unused and Disconnected Coupler

Unused ODU ports on a coupler must the blanked off with a microwave load as at some
frequencies the reflected power can affect operation at the remaining port, partly canceling
the wanted signal.

A flange-mounted termination is used to absorb the RF energy. They are needed in 1+0 and
cascaded coupler applications where some ODU ports are left open/ not attached to an
ODU.

Terminations are available from Alcatel-Lucent.

5.1.4.4 — Installing ODU Cables and Connectors

Warning: To make sure of the continuity and avoid short circuit, all cables / connectors
connections (such as RJ45, Coaxial, Ethernet, or Optical Fiber) made on the field have to
be verified and checked with Cable tester. The waterproofness must be also checked.

Note: The ODU cable installation must comply with 9500 MPR-E requirements. If the
cable, grounds and weatherproofing are incorrectly installed, the Alcatel-Lucent
warranty can be voided.

This section includes information on:

• Cable Options
• Coaxial Cable Installation Requirements
• Cable Grounding
• Type N Cable Connectors

Cable Options

The recommended ODU cable type for connections of less than 80 m (262 ft) is the
1AC041350001 cable.

1324 User Manual 3DB19901AEAA Edition 01


5 — Installation

For other cable options to reach higher distance (300m/984ft) ask Alcatel-Lucent.

Coaxial Cable Installation Requirements

Table 5.67 — Coaxial Cable Installation Requirements

Task Required Considerations Explanation

Installing Crimped connectors Always use the crimp tool designed for the crimped
Connectors connectors/cable being used. A recommended crimp tool
for the connectors used with the ET 390998 cable is
available from Alcatel-Lucent.

When removing the jacket Take great care when removing the jacket to keep the
- all coaxial cable outer conductor intact. A scored outer conductor will
weaken the cable and, for a solid outer cable, can cause
the outer conductor to break or crack when subsequently
bent.

When removing the jacket Always use the cut-off and strip tool specifically designed
-solid outer conductor cable for the cable being used.

Fastening Type N connectors Tighten Type N connectors (male to female) by hand only.

Weatherproofing All outdoor connections must be made weatherproof.


Refer to Weatherproofing.

Planning the Protection for the cable The route chosen must provide physical protection for the
Route cable (protection against accidental damage).

Keep access to tower and The cable must be positioned so that there is unimpeded
services clear access to the tower and to services on the tower.

Ease of running and fastening Use a route which minimizes potential for damage to the
cable jacket and avoids excessive cable re-bending.

5 — Installation

Table 5.67 — Coaxial Cable Installation Requirements (Continued)

Installing the Cable jacket Keep cable clear of sharp edges.


Cable
Cable support Rod support kits or similar must be used across
unsupported sections of the cable run so that the cable
cannot flex in the wind.

Bend radius Ensure the minimum bend radius for the cable is not
exceeded.

Cable ties Use one UV-resistant cable tie every 1m (3 ft) or less, of
cable.

Cable grounding Ensure the cable is grounded in accordance with the


instructions provided in Cable Grounding.

Ice-fall protection Ensure adequate physical protection for the cable where
ice-fall from towers can occur.

Cable Grounding

Ground kits are included in the ODU Cable Kits.

For tower/mast installations the ODU cable must be grounded at:

• The point where it comes on to the tower from the ODU


• The point where it leaves the tower to go to the equipment building
• Maximum distance between the grounding kits: 50 m
• A point just prior to building entry

Figure 5.146 shows typical tower locations for cable grounding.

At non-standard installations, such as building tops or the sides of buildings, follow the
same general guidelines but where proper grounding points are not provided these must
first be installed.

For ground kit installation instructions refer to the guide provided with each kit.

Note: All type N connectors used outdoors must be weatherproofed. Refer to


Weatherproofing.

Ensure connectors are correctly fitted. Where crimp connectors are used, ensure the correct
crimp tool is used.

5.1.4.5 — Weatherproofing

Weatherproofing kits are included with consumable kit. Two types of weatherproofing
media are supplied.

Mastic Tape

The ODU cable ground kits include rolls of vinyl and butyl mastic tape. For these, a two-
layer wrap process is recommended:

• An initial layer of mastic tape. It is this tape that provides the weatherproofing.
• A top layer of vinyl tape to support good amalgamation and adhesion of the mastic tape
and to provide UV protection.

Note: If mastic tape is used to weatherproof connectors a three-layer process is


recommended, where a layer of vinyl tape is applied before the mastic to facilitate easy
strip-back when connector disconnection is required. Special attention must be given to
ensuring the mastic tape seals cleanly to the primary surfaces, such as the cable jacket.

Wrapping Guidelines, Mastic tape

To weatherproof connectors start at 1. To weatherproof a cable ground start at 3.

1. Ensure connectors are firmly hand-tightened, dry, and free from all grease and dirt. If
necessary, clean with rag lightly moistened with alcohol-based cleaner.
2. Pre-wrap using vinyl tape. Use a 25% overlay when wrapping. To avoid curl-back do
not stretch the tape too tightly at the end point.

Note: On an ODU connector, leave at least two-thirds of the smooth length of the barrel
clear of pre-wrap vinyl tape, to ensure the mastic tape has sufficient area of direct grip.

1328 User Manual 3DB19901AEAA Edition 01


5 — Installation

3. Wrap with mastic tape using a 75% overlay. Where possible, use not less than a 25 mm
(1") attachment onto the primary surface (25 mm past the cable sheath cut, or any pre-
wrap).

Note: There must be a full seal of mastic tape onto the primary surface for
weatherproofing integrity.

4. Lightly firm over by hand to ensure a full seal at all points, using a tear-off section of
the mastic tape backing to protect your hands. Check that there is no possibility of water
entry before proceeding to the next step 5.
5. Cover the mastic tape with a final layer of vinyl tape. To avoid curl-back, do not stretch
the tape too tightly at the end.

Note: To avoid displacement of the mastic tape, do not stretch the final layer of vinyl
tape across sharp corners and edges.

Self Amalgamating Tape

Self amalgamating tape binds to the host and bonds between layers to provide a continuous
seal. It is especially useful in tight locations, such as around the Type N connectors of the
suppressor when installed with its support bracket on an ODU.

Wrapping Guidelines, Amalgamating Tape


1. Ensure the connectors are firmly hand-tightened, dry, and free from all grease and dirt.
If necessary, clean with a rag lightly moistened with alcohol-based cleaner.
2. Apply the tape with tension (slight stretching), using at least a 75% overlay.
3. Where possible, apply the tape 25 mm (1") past the ends of the connector barrels to
ensure the weatherproof bond extends beyond the areas requiring protection. The tape
must be applied in such a way that the sealing is robust (no obvious weak points).
4. To avoid curl-back, do not stretch the tape too tightly at the end.
5. To assist UV protection, a post-wrap using vinyl tape can be applied.

The MPT-HC/MPT-XP consists of one or two cabinets including the Ethernet interface +
modem + RF transceiver + diplexer of a channel.

Two mechanical solutions are adopted:

1. with embedded diplexer for cost optimisation, shown in Figure 5.148, where the
diplexer is internal to the MPT-HC cabinet; this type of MPT-HC is identified by one
Logistical Item only;

2. with external diplexer: due to a high number of shifters, the diplexer is external for the
flexibility of the shifter customization, where MPT-HC/MPT-XP is composed of two
independent units: the external diplexer assembly (containing the diplexer) and the RF
transceiver assembly (containing the RF section); each of this type of MPT-HC/
MPT-XP is identified by two Logistical Items, one for the external diplexer assembly
and another for the RF transceiver assembly. To read the external diplexer assembly
identification label, it is necessary to separate the external diplexer assembly from the
RF transceiver assembly.
