Radome is a water- and windproof cover that protects the W3310 and W3315 antennas.
The radome is covered by a thin layer of hydrophobic coating that prevents the water to
collect on the antenna. This minimizes the risk of signal dispersion caused by water
drops and minimizes the formation of ice on the antenna radome.
The hydrophobic coating may be damaged if the radome is touched – either with a
sharp metal object (i. e. screwdriver or wrench) or with fingers. Sharp objects remove the
coating by scratching it off. Touching the radome with bare fingers causes grease marks
that reduce water repellency.

Pre-installation Protection of Radome


To ensure optimal water repellency of the radome, the ODRs are shipped with a pro-
tective cardboard/plastic cover. See W3310/W3315 with Protective Cardboard on page
15.

NOTE: Chec k that the r ec eived O DR’ s r adome is c over ed w ith pr otec tive
c ar dboar d/plas tic c over . If the pr otec tive c over is damaged or mis s ing,
c ontac t Aviat Netw or ks c us tomer s er vic e.

Keep the cover on the radome during the installation procedure and remove it before the
alignment procedure.

Post-installation Protection of Radome


If the operating WTM 3300 link is going to be moved or installed at another location,
protect the radome before the beginning of demounting procedure.
To ensure that the water repellency of the radome remains unaffected during the trans-
port and after being reinstalled, cover it with protection that the ODR has been shipped
in. If the original protection is not available at the installation site, cover it with a
plastic wrap.

Cautions Regarding Pigtail Cables


Ethernet data cable and 48 VDC power cable that are attached to the WTM 3300 need
to be treated carefully. WTM 3300 should not be held by cables but only by a carabiner,
sling and/or rope attached to the ODR or to the mounting kit.

CHAPTER 2. WTM 3300 INSTALLATION

W3310 and W3315 Mounting (Variants


with Integrated Antenna)
There are three ways of mounting the ODR with integrated antenna:
l Mounting on a pole
l Mounting on a wall with a standard mounting kit
l Mounting on a wall using a mounting kit and extension bracket
The ODR can be mounted on dedicated telecommunication towers, light poles or any
appropriate vertical structure with cross section range of 40–115 mm. Main advantage
of mounting the ODR on a pole is the larger angle coverage. The ODR can be easily
turned in any horizontal or vertical direction.
For location where pole is not available, mounting the ODR on a wall is another altern-
ative. Choose a firm and stable concrete or brick wall. When mounting the ODR to a
wall, make sure appropriate grounding point is accessible within the reach of grounding
strap.
Standard mounting kit (compatible with W3310 and W3315) is shipped as a part of
WTM 3300 mounting kit package (W3300-ACC-SM1).
To hoist the ODR onto the tower, use the hole near the pigtail cables.

the WTM 3305 product variant: 
l RFS antennas: 44 dBi, 30 cm (1 ft), 44 dBi, 30 cm (1 ft) and 50.5 dBi, 60 cm
(2 ft)
l Xian antennas: 40 dBi, 20 cm (0.7 ft), 44 dBi, 30 cm (1 ft) and 49 dBi, 60 cm
(2 ft)
l MTI antennas: 44 dBi, 30 cm (1 ft) and 49 dBi, 60 cm (2 ft)
To mount the ODR to these external antennas, follow the instructions in the following
sections.

RFS External Antenna Mount


Follow the below described steps to attach the ODR to the RFS external parabolic
antenna. Available antenna sizes are: 44 dBi, 30 cm (1 ft) and 50.5 dBi, 60 cm (2 ft).
1. Attach the mounting kit to the pole. To attach it properly, follow the instructions that
are included in the RFS antenna package. Mounting plate is already attached to the
mounting kit.
RFS antenna mounting kit can be attached to any appropriate vertical structure with
cross section range from 48 to 114 mm.
Figure 2-26. RFS Mounting Kit with Antenna

2. Set the mounting plate waveguide interface polarization. The current position of polar-
ization markings on the ODR matches V (vertical) marking on the mounting plate.

26 AVIAT NETWORKS
WTM 3300 INSTALLATION MANUAL

Fasten the four screws back. Check that the mounting plate (feeder) polarization equals
the planned link polarization (changed to Horizontal in the figure below).
3. During the ODR attachment procedure, pay special attention to the position of
ODR polarization markings. See W3310 and W3315 Mounting (Variants with Integrated
Antenna) on page 18 and W3310 and W3315 Mounting (Variants with Integrated
Antenna) on page 18 to choose the ODR orientation correctly. Align the polarization
markings on the ODR with markings on the mounting plate. Aligned Horizontal Polar-
ization Markings on page 27 shows correctly aligned markings for a horizontally polar-
ized link.
Figure 2-29. Aligned Horizontal Polarization Markings

CAUTION: When verifying the correct ODR polarization, always make sure the
ODR polarization markings match with those on the mounting plate of the antenna.
When visually comparing the waveguide position with the actual marking on the ODR,
the polarization does not match. The reason for this is the integrated antenna (used
with W3310 and W3315 variants) that shifts the polarization for 90 ° – from vertical to
horizontal and vice versa.

4. Before attaching the ODR, put the rubber O-ring onto the antenna waveguide and
apply a thin layer of silicon grease. Rubber O-ring and silicone grease are included in the
antenna package.
The use of silicone grease is mandatory. Dry attachment might damage the O-ring.

CAUTION: Before attaching the ODR to a parabolic antenna, remove the red pro-
tection label from ODR waveguide interface as shown on ODR with Mounting Holes
on page 28.

5. Slide the ODR onto the O-ring. Attach the ODR to the mounting plate with four
screws that are included in the antenna package. When fastening the screws, follow the
numbered sequence – always fasten the opposite screws first.
6. Fasten the screws using multiple steps. Initially, the screws should only be tightened
with minimum force and in accordance with the numbered sequence (See ODR with
Mounting Holes on page 28). After the ODR has been gently attached to the mounting
plate, fasten the screws firmly by alternating among the numbered screws until the ODR
is firmly secured.

The use of silicone grease is mandatory.  Dry attachment might damage the O-ring.

4. Slide the ODR onto the O-ring. Attach the ODR to the mounting plate with four
screws that are included in the mounting kit package. When fastening the screws, follow
the numbered sequence – always fasten the opposite screws first.
5. Fasten the screws using multiple steps. Initially, the screws should only be tightened
with minimum force and in accordance with the numbered sequence (See ODR with
Mounting Holes on page 36). After the ODR has been gently attached to the mounting
plate, fasten the screws firmly by alternating among the numbered screws until the ODR
is firmly secured.

Cabling Procedure
There are two scenarios for cabling the WTM 3300, depending on the available powering
options. The ODRs are shipped with one or two pre-attached pigtail cables:
l PoE-powered ODR has a single pre-attached PoE/Data pigtail cable (length =
2 m).
l DC-powered ODR has two pre-attached pigtail cables (PoE/Data and DC;
length = 1.9 m).
Cable joiners are used to connect the ODR pigtail cable(s) with installation site cable(s).

PoE Injector Installation Guidelines


The PoE injector powers the WTM 3300 remotely (40 W to the unit) over outdoor rated,
shielded, Cat5e or Cat6e Ethernet Cable.
The PoE can be installed anywhere on the Ethernet cable run but is typically located
indoor near the corresponding data connection. Aviat Networks also offers outdoor dust-
and waterproof PoE injectors. To choose the appropriate one, refer to WTM 3300
Product Ordering Guide.
Before mounting the PoE injector to a fixed location, follow the below described steps.
l Do not cover the PoE injector or block the airflow to the injector with any
foreign objects. Keep the PoE injector away from excessive heat and humidity,
and free from vibration and dust.

38 AVIAT NETWORKS
WTM 3300 INSTALLATION MANUAL

l Ensure that the cable length from the ECD to the PoE injector and to the ODR
does not exceed 95 m (~310 ft). The PoE is not a repeater and does not
amplify the Ethernet data signal.
l Ensure that PoE is located and installed at a dry location, away from moist
and flood plains.
In order to prevent damage to the equipment, please follow the precautions described
below before powering the ODR.
l Test the ODR on the ground before installation (connect the Ethernet cables
and power plug as defined in the PoE instructions).
l Check ODR status using ePortal.
l Connectthe PoE injector to the mains (this should be the last connection
made). Wait for a few seconds and check that the green LEDs on the PoE.
l Turning on: the power green LED next to the PoE green LED is lit. If the LED
is blinking, there is no voltage delivered and an error has occurred.
l Verify that the ODR status is on (access ePortal of the ODR, see section Basic
ODR Configuration with ePortal on page 68).
CAUTION: It is essential that the main voltage (110–240 VAC or 48 VDC) is dis-
connected before disconnecting any other cable!

l Disconnect power first!


l Remove the shielded Cat5 cable between the ODR and the PoE injector.
l Replace the shielded Cat5 cable that was used to test the ODR with the cable
that will be used for the final installation. Since this cable may be crimped in
the field, the shielded Cat5 cable must have both ends terminated with
properly crimped shielded RJ45 connectors by using either the T568A or
T568B wiring standards. Test the cable with a shielded Cat5 tester/analyzer.
For technical, regulatory and environmental specifications of the WTM 3300 PoE
injector refer to the WTM 3000 Series DC PoE injector datasheet.

PoE/Data Cable Assembly


In this scenario, the PoE/Data cable (PoE + GE traffic cable) must be assembled at the
installation site. The cable joiner uses a standard Ethernet cable coupler.
1. Disassemble the PoE/Data cable joiner (part of ODR package).

WTM 3300 INSTALLATION MANUAL

Grounding
The use of appropriate lightning protection devices and correct site grounding are co-
related issues. One cannot be considered separately from the other. Aviat Networks equip-
ment warranty requires correct protection and grounding practices. Aviat Networks
reserves the right to exclude from warranty the repair or replacement of lightning dam-
aged equipment that are caused by non-complying installations.

Install the WTM 3300 where proper electrical outdoor grounding is available. Typically,
the grounding connection is attached directly to the mounting pole. If not already
present, suitable structure-to-earth grounding connection must be prepared before the
installation (minimum 16 mm2 cable diameter – 6 AWG).
Visually inspect the deployment site grounding points. Site grounding covers all the
equipment within the building or tower at the same ground potential which ensures
there is no possibility for damaging currents to flow among the equipment elements or
through them to the ground.
In order to protect indoor equipment, ECD devices and power supply devices, surge pro-
tection circuits are recommendable on all copper cables (Ethernet and DC) at their
entrance to the building. Surge arrestors need to be properly grounded.
If the PoE injector is equipped with an internal surge arrestor, it must be installed near
building entry point and, if possible, properly grounded.
Properly protected WTM 3300 includes grounding points at:
1. ODR
2. Cable grounding point - where it enters the building or cabinet
Figure 2-62. Typical WTM 3300 Grounding Scheme

ODR Grounding
Follow these steps to properly ground the ODR.

CHAPTER 2. WTM 3300 INSTALLATION

1. Locate the green 2 m long earth strap in the ODR packaging. Strap is fitted
with crimp lugs.
2. Fasten the earth strap to the ODR grounding lug (M5 Phillips screw).
3. Locate a position for attaching the earth strap to the pole grounding point.
This should be as close as possible below the ODR to ensure the downward-
angled positioning of the ground wire.
4. Run the ground wire down from the ODR to its ground point using the
shortest available path. Do not loop or spiral the ground wire.
5. Scrape any paint or oxidation from the pole grounding point to ensure a
proper low-resistance contact.
6. Fasten the distant end of the earth strap to the pole grounding point using
an appropriate screw.
Figure 2-63. Earth Strap (green) Attached to ODR

Cable Grounding
Cable ground connections onto the ODR cable must be correctly weatherproofed to
ensure there is no possibility of water entry into the cable jacket. Weatherproofing pro-
cedure is explained in the section Weatherproofing for Cables and Connectors on page
50
CAUTION: Improper cable grounding may result in excessive electromagnetic
interference or electrical discharge.

WTM 3300 INSTALLATION MANUAL

The ODR–ECD Ethernet cable must be correctly grounded and fitted with an appro-
priate lightning surge suppressor to prevent equipment damage due to lightning strikes
on the antenna or its support structure.
For more general guidelines on ODR–ECD cabling, see Aviat Best Practices Guide.
Ethernet cable is grounded using shielded RJ45 connectors on both ends – the con-
nectors are   properly terminated and soldered to the shield of the cable. Grounding con-
nection of the WTM 3300 Ethernet cables follows the surge arrestor grounding
connection (see section RJ45 Surge Arrestor on page 48).

NOTE: All r ec ommended Aviat Netw or ks PoE s ur ge pr otec tor s (074-


330003- 001) ar e equipped w ith gr ounding bolt and gr ound s tr ap that
needs to be attac hed to the near es t gr ounding point.

WTM 3300 cable kit includes a pre-terminated shielded Cat5e cable. In cases when the
cable needs to be cut and re-terminated (crimped), follow the below described steps to
ensure proper ground connection for the cable.
1. Strip the outer sheath insulation back for 2.5 cm (1 in). Roll back the foil
shield insulation and wrap the drain wire around the foil. Do not remove
any insulation from the conductors.
2. Untwist the pairs to within 0.3 cm (1/8 in) of the jacket. Arrange the wires
according to TIA/EIA 568A & 568B standards. Flatten and align the wires.
Make one straight cut across all the conductors, removing approximately 1.3
cm (1/2 in). Insert wires into loading bar. Cut off the excess wires.
3. Hold the connector in front of you with the locking tab down. Orient the
wires so connector Pin 1 aligns with cable Pin 1, etc. Pin 1 is on the far left.
Slide the wires into the Cat5e connector. The cable jacket with shield must
extend into the connector about 0.6 cm (1/4 in) for strain relief and
shielding connection.
4. Insert the plug into a crimp tool and squeeze it.
5. Test the cable connection with a standard Ethernet cable tester.

DC Cable Grounding
DC cable is grounded using a DC surge arrestor. Aviat Networks recommended DC surge
arrestors are equipped with terminated ground wire which must be attached to the
nearest grounding point.

NOTE: The r ec ommended ar r es tor s to be us ed on DC c able at c abinet

Ethernet interface and DC power interface at WTM 3300 are protected with an internal
surge arrestor. PoE injector interface is also protected with surge arrestor.
Make sure the surge arrestor (RJ45 or DC) is properly grounded – use the grounding
wire which is included in the package and attach it to the nearest site grounding point.

RJ45 Surge Arrestor


Surge arrestor is installed at the building entry for protecting equipment from surges car-
ried down Ethernet cable connecting indoor and outdoor equipment. Indoor connection
from the surge arrestor to the PoE injector or to the ECD may use a standard Ethernet
patch cable.

CHAPTER 2. WTM 3300 INSTALLATION

Weatherproofing for Cables and


Connectors
It is recommended for the pigtail cables to be additionally sealed at the ODR entry
points when in use. Use weatherproofing kit to seal the connectors as described in sec-
tion Weatherproofing for Cables and Connectors on page 50
WTM 3300 cable joiners that are used for connecting the pre-terminated pigtail cables
with Ethernet and/or power cable are water- and dust proof when installed properly (see
section Cabling Procedure on page 37). They are compliant with IP68 protection grade
requirement. This guarantees resistance against dust and allows continuous submersion
in water.
Despite the water resistant design of cable joiner, Aviat Networks recommends addi-
tional weatherproofing in order to ensure long term protection in the most demanding
weather conditions.
Connector weatherproofing kit is shipped as standard part of WTM 3000 cable kit.
When unpacking the equipment, make sure that the weatherproofing kit is included. If
not, please contact Aviat Networks support center.

Weatherproofing Procedure
The ODR cable kits include rolls of vinyl and butyl mastic tape for connector weather-
proofing. A three-layer wrap process is recommended:
1. Apply an initial layer of vinyl tape to protect the connector against sealing
with mastic tape used in step 2.
2. Apply a layer of mastic (Butyl) tape. It is this tape that provides the
weatherproofing.
3. Complete the wrap process by applying a top layer (or multiple layers) of
vinyl tape to support good amalgamation and adhesion of the mastic tape
and to provide UV protection.

NOTE: Wher e mas tic tape is us ed to w eather pr oof c onnec tor s , a thr ee-
layer pr oc es s is r ec ommended. The c entr al layer of vinyl tape is applied
befor e the mas tic to fac ilitate eas y s tr ip bac k w hen c onnec tor dis -

mas tic tape s eals c leanly to the pr imar y s ur fac es .

50 AVIAT NETWORKS
WTM 3300 INSTALLATION MANUAL

Wrapping Guidelines for Mastic (Butyl) Tape


To weatherproof the connectors, start at 1. To weatherproof a cable ground, start at 3.
1. Ensure the 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. Using vinyl tape, pre-wrap just the center section of the connector barrel –
the section to which access will be needed if the connector ever needs to be
undone. Use a 25 % overlay when wrapping. To avoid curl-back do not
stretch the tape too tightly at the end point.

NOTE: L eave at leas t tw o-thir ds of the s mooth length of the bar r el


c lear of pr e-w r ap vinyl tape, to ens ur e the mas tic tape has s uffic ient
ar ea of dir ec t gr ip.

3. Wrap with mastic tape using a half to 2/3rds width overly, and ensure there
is at least a 25 mm (1 in) attachment onto the primary surfaces to either
side (cable jacket, ground wire and connector).
4. For the cable ground, ensure there is no possibility of water penetrating
between the ODR (PoE/Data) cable and its ground wire by first applying and
forming mastic tape around the ground wire where it lies against the cable.
The ground wire must always exit from the bottom of the wrap.
5. 4. Starting at the bottom, wrap the mastic tape in an overlapping pattern,
slightly stretching the tape as you wrap. By wrapping from the bottom you
help to ensure there are no ridges or pockets for water to sit in.

NOTE: Ther e mus t be a full s eal of mas tic tape onto the pr imar y s ur -
fac e for w eather pr oofing integr ity.

6. Firm over by hand and squeeze the tape along its edges to form it to the
connection. Use 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.
7. Cover the mastic tape with layers of vinyl tape.
8. For a cable ground, wrap from the bottom, with the first layer extending 25
mm (1 in) each side of the mastic tape. Subsequent layers must extend no
less than 25 mm (1 in) each side of the previous layer.
9. Wrap the tape in an overlapping pattern at not less than a half width.
Slightly stretch the tape while wrapping but stop stretching it for the last
two turns of the top layer to prevent the curl-back.
10. Squeeze the completed wrapping to ensure all layers are firm.

NOTE: To avoid dis plac ement of the mas tic tape, do not s tr etc h the final
layer (s ) of vinyl tape ac r os s s har p c or ner s and edges .

260-668226-001 AUGUST 2016 51


CHAPTER 2. WTM 3300 INSTALLATION

Wrapping Guidelines for Self-amalgamating Tape


Self-amalgamating tape binds to the host and bonds between layers to provide a con-
tinuous seal. It is especially useful in tight locations.
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 75 % overlay.
3. Where possible, apply the tape 25 mm (1 in) 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.

52 AVIAT NETWORKS
WTM 3300 INSTALLATION MANUAL

Position of Cables
To furthermore exclude the possibility of ODR water ingress, pay special attention to the
position of the cables at the installation site.
Attach the cables to the antenna pole with cable ties.
To prevent water ingress and to minimize strain that the cable weight could induce on
the ODR connector:
l Make sure the cables are tethered to the antenna pole slightly below the
connector height.
l The cables (PoE/Data, -48 VDC and ground) must be positioned in an S-
shaped curve.
The S-shaped cable curve is necessary for two reasons.
1. Cable weight does not cause strain on the ODR connectors.
2. It prevents the water from flowing over the ODR connectors.
Figure 2-66. Correct position of Cables

CHAPTER 2. WTM 3300 INSTALLATION

Connecting the ODR to Power Source


Before the WTM 3300 is connected to the power source, the following three procedures
must be finalized:
1. ODR mounting (see sections W3310 and W3315 Mounting (Variants with
Integrated Antenna) on page 18 or WTM 3305 - Use of External Parabolic
Antennas)
2. ODR grounding (see section Grounding on page 45)
3. ODR cabling (see section Cabling Procedure on page 37)
ODR is powered immediately after the PoE injector or DC cable is connected to the
power source.

54 AVIAT NETWORKS
WTM 3300 INSTALLATION MANUAL

ODR Alignment Procedure


ODR alignment involves adjusting the direction of ODRs on both ends of the link until
the received signal strength reaches its maximum level.
Fine adjustment mechanism for azimuth (horizontal angle) and elevation (vertical
angle) is built into each antenna mount. Adjustment procedures are provided with each
antenna.
l Pole-mounted ODR. If horizontal adjuster does not provide sufficient range to
locate the main beam, the antenna mounting brackets need to be loosened and
the antenna swiveled on its pole mount. Before doing this, ensure that the
horizontal adjuster is set for mid-travel.
l Wall-mounted ODR. In case of insufficient alignment range, order the special
wall mount extension bracket (see section Attaching the Mounting Kit to a
Wall using Wall Extension Bracket on page 21).
l WTM 3305 uses an external parabolic antenna. To properly align it, follow the
steps described in section Alignment Steps for WTM 3305 (External Parabolic
Antenna) on page 65.

NOTE: To ac tivate the alignment mode for mor e effic ient alignment pr o-
c edur e, plug the headphone or RSSI c able into the L MC por t after pow er -
ing up the O DR. Alignment mode is not affec ted by the tr affic flow .

Locating the Main Beam


Ensure the antennas are aligned on the main beam, and not a side lobe. Once a meas-
urable signal is observed (see section Alignment Steps for WTM 3310 and WTM 3315
(Embedded Flat Antenna) on page 62), very small alignment adjustments are required
to locate the main beam. Antenna movement across the main beam will result in a rapid
rise and fall of signal level. As a guide, 1 degree of beam width is equivalent to moving
approximately 1.0 mm around a standard 114 mm (4.5 in) diameter pipe (outer dia-
meter).
Antennas can be verified as being on main beam (as opposed to a side lobe) by com-
paring measured received signal level with the calculated level.
Signal strength readings are usually measurable when at least a main beam at one end
and first side lobes at the other are aligned.
The strongest signal occurs at the center of the main beam. The highest first lobe signal
is typically 20–25 dB weaker than the main beam signal. When both antennas are
aligned for maximum main beam signal strength, the receive signal level should be
within 2 dB of the calculated level for the path.
The following figure is an example of a head-on, conceptual view of the beam signal
strength, with concentric rings of side lobe peaks and troughs radiating outward from
the main beam.

Alignment Options
Visual Alignment
Visual alignment of the radios in a link is the initial step for establishing a link. To help
with achieving optimal visual alignment over a larger distance, the WTM 3300 allows
aligning with a visual alignment tool (VAT). Visual alignment tool is part of the visual
alignment kit. See section Visual Alignment Kit on page 11 for kit details.
There are two ways of mounting the VAT on the ODR.

Direct VAT Mount


VAT is attached directly onto the ODR in cases of WTM 3310 and WTM 3315 product
variants with embedded flat antenna.

Sound-based Alignment
WTM 3300 offers two types of RSSI indication. Sound-based alignment method is inten-
ded for initial (directional) antenna alignment. To check the sound-based RSSI level,
plug the headphone connector to the LMC port as shown Headphones Connected to
LMC Port on page 61.

60 AVIAT NETWORKS
WTM 3300 INSTALLATION MANUAL

To engage the alignment mode, connect standard headphones to the LMC port. Antenna
alignment mode sets the Tx power and sensitivity to the highest level which eases the
search for the main beam of remote ODR in both directions.

NOTE: Attac hing the headphones to the L MC por t w ill automatic ally put
ODR into antenna alignment mode. Dur ing ac tivated antenna alignment
mode, s ens itivity of ODR pow er detec tion is inc r eas ed. Dis c onnec t head-
phones after the alignment pr oc es s is done.

The higher the sound indicator pitch, the stronger the received signal. 
Figure 2-79. Headphones Connected to LMC Port

RSSI-based Alignment
Sound indicator-based alignment is a standard procedure that normally ensures proper
performance of the radio link. However, if there’s a need for more precise alignment, the
exact RSSI level should be measured with a voltmeter.
RSSI-based alignment procedure:
Remove the cover from the LMC port on the ODR housing. Connect the voltmeter to the
ODR using the RSSI adapter cable (must be ordered separately, see Optional Solution Elements on page 10)

NOTE: Attac hing the RSSI adapter c able to the L MC por t w ill auto-
matic ally put O DR into antenna alignment mode. Dur ing ac tivated
antenna alignment mode, the s ens itivity of O DR pow er detec tion is
inc r eas ed. Dis c onnec t headphones w hen alignment is c ompleted.

When measuring the exact RSSI level with a voltmeter, compare the actual RSSI level
with the expected RSSI that has been calculated during network link budget pre-
paration.
Fine alignment of the ODR is achieved by turning vertical and azimuth micro alignment
screws.
When the optimal RSSI level is achieved, tighten the locking screws (see section Align-
ment Steps for WTM 3310 and WTM 3315 (Embedded Flat Antenna) on page 62).

NOTE: Befor e us ing the digital voltmeter , s et its output to millivolts .


Dividing the RSSI millivolt output by 10 w ill pr ovide the ac tual r ec eive s ig-
nal s tr ength c alc ulation. For example, a voltmeter millivolt r eading of
450 mV is equivalent to -45 dBm.

Alignment Steps for WTM 3310 and WTM 3315


(Embedded Flat Antenna)
Alignment screws of the mounting kit are shipped tightened. To begin with alignment
procedure, loosen all four locking screws: two for azimuth and two for elevation.
ODRs on both sides of the link need to be initially aligned in the general direction to
obtain optimal results. If on one side the ODR azimuth or elevation is excessively mis-
aligned, no signal will be received at the remote end of the link. In such case, adjust-
ment procedure is not possible.

Elevation Adjustment
Perform elevation adjustment first – follow the below described steps.
Loosen both vertical locking screws.
Attach the headphones to the LMC port and listen to the sound pitch (see Headphones
Connected to LMC Port on page 61). The higher the sound indicator pitch, the stronger
the received signal.

Lift the rough alignment spring and turn the ODR in the desired direction. Rough align-
ment slots allow moving of the ODR in steps of 10 °.
Figure 2-83. Lifted Rough Alignment Spring. Hold the ODR with hand.

After the rough alignment procedure is finished, start with micro alignment using the
micro screw. Micro alignment screw can be turned by hand or using a size 4 Allen head
wrench. For fine alignment purpose, Aviat Networks recommends RSSI-based align-
ment. Connect the voltmeter to LMC port and follow the instructions given in section
RSSI-based Alignment on page 61.

Once the optimum position has been achieved for the ODR node pair, tighten both
adjustment locking screws. 
Figure 2-84. Vertical Micro Adjustment Screw

Azimuth Adjustment
After the elevation adjustment is done, perform the azimuth alignment.
Loosen both azimuth locking screws.
Lift the rough alignment spring and turn the ODR in the desired direction. Rough align-
ment slots allow moving of the ODR in steps of 10 °.
Use the connected headphones to listen to the sound pitch (see Headphones Connected
to LMC Port on page 61). The higher the sound indicator pitch, the stronger the received
signal.
After rough alignment is done, start with micro alignment using the micro adjustment
screw. Micro alignment screw can be turned by hand or by using a size 4 Allen head
wrench. For fine alignment purpose, Aviat Natworks recommends using RSSI-based
alignment. Connect the voltmeter to the LMC port and follow the instructions given in
section RSSI-based Alignment on page 61.
Once the optimum position has been achieved for the ODR node pair, tighten the azi-
muth adjustment locking screws.

CAUTION: After the finished alignment process, tighten the locking screws (elev-
ation and azimuth). Make sure that while tightening, the position of the ODR does not
change. To prove that, keep the voltmeter connected while fastening the screw. The
measured RSSI value must not change.

NOTE: By unplugging the headphone c onnec tor , ODR w ill automatic ally

Alignment Steps for WTM 3305 (External


Parabolic Antenna)
WTM 3305 mounting kit has two alignment screws – vertical and alignment. Both
screws are used for macro and micro alignment. Details on adjusting the ODR position
are available in the installation instructions that are included in the mounting kit pack-
age.

Realigning the Antenna


After replacing the ODR, antenna realignment is normally not necessary due to locking
mechanism of the mounting kit. However, if the measured receive level is not equal as
before the ODR replacement, repeat the antenna alignment procedure as described in sec-
tion ODR Alignment Procedure on page 55.

260-668226-001 AUGUST 2016 77


CHAPTER 4. COMMISSIONING AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Routine Inspection and Maintenance


This section reviews required and recommended inspection and maintenance practices
to ensure health and safety of installed equipment is maintained to highest levels. For
more information, refer to the Aviat Networks publication: Best Practices Guide (GP-
QP057).

Routine Inspections
All sites must be inspected annually or more frequently if subject to abnormal operating
conditions such as particularly exposed sites, or sites subject to salt-spray or heavy
snow/ice loading over winter months.
The inspection should cover the physical installation including ODR, PoE injector, Eth-
ernet cable, cable grounding, equipment grounding, tower and building grounds,
weatherproofing, lightning surge suppressors (if installed) and general site integrity.
Selected ground wires should be resistance checked and then compared with previous
checks to ensure there has been no significant change.
The operational performance of the radio and associated equipment should be checked
against their as-built figures using the ePortal or Provision alarm and performance indic-
ators.

Trend Analysis
Use available current and historical WTM 3300 alarm and performance data to determ-
ine any trend that may lead to a failure. Check for the following indicators:
l Reducing received signal levels
l Gradually increasing bit errors or an increasing count of seconds with error
l Changes in transmit power
l Increased frequency of rain fade or other fade conditions
l Increasing occurrence of other weather related changes in performance
l Increasing occurrence of a particular hardware failure

Fault Analysis
All faults, once cleared, should be the subject of a fault report. The data presented in
these reports should be analyzed from time to time to check for any common threads,
which may point to a particular weakness in the design, installation, or maintenance of
the network or to a specific component.
The time taken to restore service and the affected parts used should also be analyzed to
see if improvements are possible in the maintenance procedures, maintenance training
and spares holdings.

78 AVIAT NETWORKS
WTM 3300 INSTALLATION MANUAL

Training
Properly trained and experienced planning and installation personnel are essential for
establishing and maintaining high integrity in a new network. Similarly, properly
trained network management and service personnel are essential for the continued good
condition of the network.
The personnel training should be reviewed from time-to-time to ensure they maintain
expertise in their area of work, and on the installed base.

Spares
Spares holdings should be reviewed on regular basis to ensure the correct quantity and
type are held, and held at the most appropriate locations.
Analysis of spares usage will show any trend for excessive use of spares, which may
point to a weakness in the deployment or manufacture of the item.
Spares holdings should also be checked from time to time and if necessary brought up to
the current hardware and/or specifications.

CHAPTER 4. COMMISSIONING AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Troubleshooting
Before going to a site to handle a problem, try to obtain the following information:
l Does the fault require immediate attention?
l Who is the best-placed person to handle the fault?
Confirm the nature and severity of the reported fault, its location, capacity and mod-
ulation. Ask:
l Is just one WTM 3300 link affected or a number of links in the same
geographical area?
l Is the path down completely or is traffic passing but with a BER alarm?
l Could the fault be in the equipment connected to the WTM 3300? Are there
alarms on other, connected equipment?
l Is it a hard or intermittent fault?
l Do alarms confirm which end of an alarmed link is faulty?
l Could the weather (rain, ice, high wind, temperature) be a factor in the
reported fault?

NOTE: If the fault s ugges ts a r ain fade or other w eather r elated fade
c ondition and it matc hes the pr evailing w eather c onditions , do not take
any ac tion until the w eather impr oves .

l Does the link history suggest any fault trends?


l Does the fault history for the link indicate a likely cause?
l Is the WTM 3300 link newly installed?
l Has there been any recent work done on the link?
If a site visit is required, before you go, ensure that you take the appropriate spares if an
equipment failure is suspected:
l Laptop PC
l Toolkit
l Key(s) for access to the site

CHAPTER 5. HEALTH AND SAFETY

General Hazards
The following table describes the general hazards that must be addressed when planning
and installing the WTM 3300.
For more information on health and safety when using Aviat Networks products, refer to
Aviat Best Practices Guide.
Topic Information
ESD ESD (electrostatic discharge) can damage electronic components. Even if components
remain functional, ESD can cause latent damage those results in premature failure.
Circuit Over- When connecting the WTM 3300, determine the effect this will have on the power supply
loading circuit protection devices, and supply wiring. Check WTM 3300 power consumption spe-
cifications 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.
Protection from When installing, servicing or inspecting an antenna always comply with the following:
RF Exposure - Locate the antenna such that it does not infringe the RF exposure guidelines for general
public.
- Stay aware of the potential risk of RF exposure and take appropriate precautions.
- Do not stand in front of or look into an antenna without first ensuring the associated trans-
mitter or transmitters are switched off.
- At a multi-antenna site ask the site owner or Operations for details of other radio services
active at the site and for their requirements/recommendations for protection against poten-
tially harmful exposure to RF radiation.
- When it is not possible to switch transmitters off at a multi-antenna site and there is
potential for exposure to harmful levels of RF radiation, wear a protective suit.
- Do not look into the waveguide port of an ODR when the radio is active.
Ground Con- Reliable grounding of the WTM 3300 must be maintained. Refer to instructions in the
nections WTM 3300 Installation and Commissioning manual for grounding of the ODR, Ethernet
cable, lightning surge suppressor (optional), and PoE injector.
There must be no switching or disconnecting devices fitted in ground conductors.
Lightning Surge All WTM 3300 Ethernet cables must be fitted with the specified PoE injector compatible
Suppressor surge suppressor(s).
Mains Power WTM 3300 DC power and traffic – Ethernet cables are not to be routed with any AC
Supply Routing mains power lines. They are also to be kept away from any power lines which cross them.
Power Supply An appropriate power supply disconnect device should be provided as part of the building
Disconnect installation.
NOTE:
NOTE For USA - In restricted access areas install the WTM 3300 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.
