Note 1: Per Industry Canada Section 5.3 - The rated output power of this equipment is for single
carrier operation. For situations where multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have
to be reduced by 3.5 dB, especially where the output signal is re-radiated and can cause
interference to adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be by means of input power or
gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device.

BEFORE STARTING OPERATION
This section provides guidelines for turning-up the Digivance system, verifying that all units are
operating properly, testing to ensure that all performance requirements are satisfied, and
correcting any installation problems. This process assumes that the various units have been
installed in accordance with the system design plan.
1.1
Tools and Materials
The following tools and materials are required in order to complete the procedures in this
section:
• Portable spectrum analyzer or RF power meter
• DC voltmeter
• External RF and optical attenuators (if specified in system design plan)
• PC-type computer with Digivance Element Management System (EMS) Version 3.01
software installed
• Straight-through RS-232 DB-9 interface cable (accessory)
• Handset
• Pencil or pen
• Writing pad

ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 3: OPERATION
1.2
Readiness Check
Before starting the turn-up process, inspect the complete Digivance system to verify that all
components of the system are ready to be powered-up. This will ensure that no units of the
system will be damaged during turn-up and that all existing systems will continue to function
properly.
1.2.1
Host Unit Installation Checks
Complete the following checks at the HU prior to starting the turn-up process:
1. Verify that the ON/OFF switch on the HU is in the OFF position (press O).
Note: When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, be sure to check equipment
nameplate ratings to avoid overloading circuits which may cause damage to over-current
protection devices and supply wiring.
2. At the fuse panel, install a 3 Amp GMT fuse in the circuit that supplies DC power to the HU.
3. Using a DC voltmeter, verify that the DC voltage level at the HU power terminals is
between ± 21 to ± 60 VDC (nominal ± 24 or ± 48 VDC). The DC power provided to the
HU can be either polarity.
4. Verify that all electrical and optical connections have been completed and that all optical
fibers, coaxial cables, and wires are properly routed and secured.
1.2.2
Remote Unit Installation Checks
Complete the following checks at the RU prior to starting the turn-up process:
1. Verify that all electrical and optical connections have been completed and that all optical
fibers, coaxial cables, and wires are properly routed and secured.
2. At the AC breaker box, make sure the circuit breaker for the circuit that supplies AC power
to the RU is in the open (off) position.
TURN-UP SYSTEM AND VERIFY OPERATION
The process of turning-up the system and verifying operation involves powering up the various
system components, verifying that the LED indicators show normal operation, setting the site
number and name, adjusting the RF signal levels, and adjusting the path delay.
Note: SCS systems that include a dual-band RU are comprised of two systems that operate
and function independently of each other. Each system can be independently turned-up,
tested, and placed into service. The EMS will recognize each system regardless of the
frequency/band and will display the appropriate screens. The frequency/band can be
verified by clicking on the HOST Host tab and on the REMOTE STM tab. The frequency/
band for the selected system will be displayed on the right side of the screen.

ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 3: OPERATION
Each Digivance system must be turned-up separately before being networked together with
multiple systems through the CAN interface. Use the following procedure to turn-up each
Digivance system:
1. Temporarily disconnect the external alarm system or notify the alarm system provider that
testing is in progress.
2. If the HU is networked together with multiple HU’s, temporarily disconnect the CAN cables
from the NET IN and NET OUT ports of the HU.
Note: By default, all HU’s and RU’s are programmed with the same site number and
name. This can cause problems for the EMS if multiple HU’s with the same site number
and site name are networked together through the CAN interface. It is therefore necessary
to temporarily disconnect the CAN interface cables from the HU when it is being
configured for operation until a unique site number and name can be assigned.
3. Determine if the forward path composite input signal level at the host unit RF IN port(s) is
appropriate to produce the required RF output signal level. Note that 800/900 MHz SMR
host units have two forward path RF ports. Adjust by installing an external attenuator if
necessary. For adjustment purposes, the optimum input signal level is –20 dBm for 800/
900 MHz SMR systems. Refer to Section 2.1 for the calculation and adjustment procedure.
4. At the HU: Place the ON/OFF switch on the HU in the ON position (press I).
5. At the RU: Place the AC circuit breaker switch in the closed (ON) position.
6. Wait 6 to 10 seconds for the HU and the RU to initialize and then observe the LED
indicators on the HU and RU. Refer to Section 4: Maintenance for the troubleshooting
procedures if the indicators do not respond as specified in Table 3-1.

Note: The Site Name and Site Number must be unique for each Digivance system.
14. If the Digivance system will be networked together with other Digivance systems,
reconnect the CAN cables to the HU’s NET IN and NET OUT ports.
15. Verify that no Major or Minor alarms are being reported in either the HOST or REMOTE
Alarm displays (except as indicated in the note below) and that all alarm fields are green.
Note: The Host RF Underdrive may indicate a minor alarm until the Host Fwd Att and
Remote Fwd Att values are set.
16. Click on the HOST RF tab (see Figure 3-2). The HOST RF display will open within the
main window.
17. Enter the Host Fwd Att (Forward Attenuation) value. This sets the forward input RF
signal level at the HU. Refer to Section 2.3 for details. By default, this value is set to 31
dB. If the DRIVE LED on the HU front panel was red, it should turn green when this step
is completed. Note that 800/900 MHz SMR HU’s have two DRIVE LED’s.
18. Determine if the RF output power at the RU ANTENNA is at the correct level up to a
composite maximum of +38.1 dBm (6.5 Watts) for 800 MHz and 800/900 MHz SMR
systems or +38.3 dBm (6.7 Watts) for 1900 MHz systems. Refer to Section 2.4 for details.
19. Click on the REMOTE RF tab (see Figure 3-2). The REMOTE RF display will open
within the main window.
20. Enter the Remote Fwd Att value. This adjusts the RF output signal level at the HU
ANTENNA port. By default this value is set to 31 dB. Refer to Section 2.5 for details.
21. Click on the HOST RF tab (see Figure 3-2). The HOST RF display will open within the
main window.
22. Enter the Host Rev Att (Reverse Attenuation) values. This sets the reverse output RF
signal levels at the host unit RF OUT port(s). By default each value is set to 31 dB. Refer
to Section 2.6 for details. Note that 800/900 MHz SMR host units have two REVERSE RF
OUT ports.
23. If a delay adjustment is required, enter the Host Fwd Delay and Host Rev Delay values.

24. If a separate laptop computer loaded with the EMS software was used to initially
configure the system, disconnect the laptop computer from the SERVICE connector.
Note: When two or more HU’s are connected together through the CAN interface, only
one EMS computer is required to manage the networked Digivance systems. The EMS
computer may be connected to the SERVICE port on any one of the HUs in the network.
25. Reconnect the external alarm system or notify the alarm system provider that the turn-up
process has been completed.
2.1
Reference Procedure: Determine Forward Path Input Signal Level
The level of the composite RF input signals received at the host unit FORWARD RF IN port(s)
will vary depending on the EBTS, the cable loss, the number of channels present, and the
required forward path composite power. If maximum composite RF output is required at the
RU, the level of the composite RF input signal received at the HU must fall within a range of –9
to –40 dBm. If the signal level is not within this range, it must be adjusted using an external
attenuator. Note: The 800/900 MHz SMR host unit has two FORWARD RF IN ports. Use the
851–869 FORWARD RF IN port to complete this procedure. Then repeat this procedure for the
935–940 FORWARD RF IN port.
Note: The optimum level for an 800/900 MHz SMR composite input signal is –20 dBm
When connecting a single HU to a single EBTS, use the following procedure to measure and
adjust the input RF signal level at the HU:
1. Connect a spectrum analyzer or power meter to the forward path output port at the EBTS.
The required signal levels and test points for 800/900 MHz SMR systems are shown in
Figure 3-3. The required signal levels and test points for 800 MHz and 1900 MHz
systems are shown in Figure 3-4. Note that 800/900 MHz SMR Host Units have two
forward path ports.
Note: Check the input rating of the test equipment and the output rating of the EBTS. To
avoid burning out the spectrum analyzer or power meter, it may be necessary to insert a
30 dB 100W (or similar) attenuator between the EBTS and test equipment.
2. If using a spectrum analyzer, proceed to step 3. If using a power meter, measure the
composite signal power from the EBTS and then proceed to step 5.
3. Measure the RF level of a single carrier, such as the control channel, in dBm. Make sure
the resolution bandwidth of the spectrum analyzer is 30 kHz. Maximum power in any
channel should not exceed 5W (+37 dB).
4. Calculate the total composite signal power from the EBTS using the following formula:
Ptot = Pc + 10Log N where,
Ptot is the total composite power in dBm
Pc is the power per carrier in dBm as measured in step 3, and
N is the total number of channels.

5. Determine the total cable loss that is imposed by the forward path coaxial cable that links
the EBTS to the HU and also any insertion loss imposed by splitters or combiners.
6. Subtract the total cable loss and any insertion losses from the total composite power
calculated in step 4.
7. Subtract –20 (optimum input signal level) from the value determined in step 6. The
difference (which should be positive) equals the value of the external attenuator that is
required to reduce the forward path signal level to the optimum level for input to the HU.
The following formula outlines the required calculations for steps 6 and 7:
Ptot – (Cable and insertion loss) – (–20) = Value of external attenuator required
Note: If the input signal level is already –20 dBm, no external attenuator is required.
8. Select an attenuator that is as close to the value calculated in step 7 as possible.
9. Install the external attenuator in the coaxial cable that is connected to the corresponding
FORWARD RF IN port at the HU.
Caution: The Host Unit can be damaged if it is overdriven by the EBTS. Always install an
external protective attenuator at the Host Unit FWD RF IN port if the forward path composite
input signal level is greater than –9 dBm.
10. If turning up an 800/900 MHz SMR system, repeat steps 1–9 for the 935–940 FORWARD
RF IN port at the HU. Install the external attenuator in the coaxial cable that is connected
to the 935–940 FORWARD RF IN port at the HU.
11. Subtract the value of the external attenuator from the total composite signal power (Ptot)
and record the result. This value will be required when setting the attenuation of the HU’s
internal forward path attenuators.

2.3
Reference Procedure: Enter Host Forward Attenuation
The HU internal forward path attenuator setting determines the maximum composite output
signal level at the RU antenna port. The appropriate attenuation value for any particular system
is based on the number of channels the system is transporting and the signal level of the
composite forward path signals input at the host units RF IN ports. By default, the forward path
attenuator is set to 31 dB.
The maximum output power is 38.1 dBm (6.5 Watts) for 800 MHz and 800/900 MHz SMR
systems and 38.3 dBm (6.7 Watts) for 1900 MHz systems. The total forward path gain that is
provided by the system (with host and remote forward attenuators set to 0 dB) is 77.5 dBm for
800/900 MHz SMR systems, 78.1 for 800 MHz systems, and 78.3 for 1900 MHz systems. For
800/900 MHz SMR systems, this procedure sets the attenuation for both FORWARD RF IN ports.
Use the following procedure to set the forward path attenuation to provide the maximum
composite output signal level:
1. Click on the HOST RF tab. The HOST RF display will open within the EMS main
window as shown in Figure 3-7.
Click on Edit button

2. Click on the Host Fwd Att Edit button (see Figure 3-7). The Host Fwd Att pop-up screen
will open as shown in Figure 3-8.
3. Obtain the value of the total composite input signal level as determined in step 11 of
Section 2.1.

Figure 3-8. Host Fwd Att Pop-Up Screen
4. Determine the appropriate value to enter for the Host forward path attenuator by
subtracting the required system output level (per system design plan) from the system gain
(77.5 dB for 800/900 MHz SMR, 78.1 dB for 800 MHz, and 78.3 dB for 1900 MHz) and
then adding the composite input signal level. The result (see sample calculation) is the
amount of attenuation required.
Atten = (System Gain) – (Required System Output Power) + (Composite Input Power)
5. Enter the attenuation value and click OK to close the pop-up screen and to make the
changes take effect.
2.4
Reference Procedure: Determine Output Signal Level at RU Antenna Port
The RF output signal level should be measured at the RU ANTENNA port to verify that the
composite signal level is at the expected level. Use the following procedure to determine the
power level:
Note: The RF output signal level measured in this procedure should be approximately
31 dBm less than the output level specified for operation. This is because the factory
default setting for the remote forward attenuator is 31 dB. The final adjustment of the
system RF output signal level will be completed in Section 2.5
1. Place the AC circuit breaker switch (at the RU power panel) in the open (OFF) position.
2. Disconnect the antenna cable from the RU ANTENNA port.
3. Connect a spectrum analyzer or RF power meter to the HU ANTENNA port. (Check the
input rating of the test equipment. Insert a 30 dB 100 W attenuator if necessary.)
4. Place the AC circuit breaker switch (at the RU power panel) in the closed (ON) position.
5. If using a spectrum analyzer, proceed to step 6. If using a power meter, measure the
composite signal power from the RU and then proceed to step 8.
6. Measure the RF level of a single carrier, such as the control channel, in dBm. Make sure
the resolution bandwidth of the spectrum analyzer is 30 kHz.
Page 3-12
© 2005, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 3: OPERATION
7. Calculate the total composite signal power using the following formula:
Ptot = Pc + 10Log N
Where,
Ptot is the total composite power in dBm
Pc is the power per carrier in dBm as measured in step 6, and
N is the total number of channels.
8. Record the result measured in step 5 or calculated in step 7.
9. Place the AC circuit breaker switch (at the RU power panel) in the open (OFF) position.
10. Disconnect the spectrum analyzer or RF power meter from the HU ANTENNA port.
11. Re-connect the antenna cable to the HU ANTENNA port.
Note: To comply with Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) requirements, the
maximum composite output from the antenna cannot exceed 1000 Watts EIRP and the
antenna must be permanently installed in a fixed location that provides at least 6 meters
(20 feet) of separation from all persons.
12. Place the AC circuit breaker switch (at the RU power panel) in the closed (ON) position.
2.5
Reference Procedure: Enter Remote Forward Attenuation
The RU internal forward path attenuator setting is used to reduce the power level of the
composite output signals at the RU. The maximum composite output signal level at the RU
antenna port is set using both the HU forward attenuator (see Section 2.3) and the RU forward
attenuator. Component variations may result in the output power at the HU antenna port being
slightly above or below the calculated value. The RU forward attenuator is used in conjunction
with the HU forward attenuator to add or remove attenuation to produce the required output
signal level at the antenna port. The default setting for the RU forward attenuator is 31 dB. Use
the following procedure to change the RU forward attenuation:
Caution: The RU may be destroyed if the maximum recommended output signal level at the RU
antenna port is exceeded. Make sure that sufficient attenuation is inserted in the forward path to
prevent the RU from being overdriven.
1. Click on the REMOTE RF tab. The REMOTE RF display will open within the EMS main
window as shown in Figure 3-9.
2. Check the level of the RF output signal (as determined in Section 2.4) against the system
design plan specifications. The maximum output signal level permitted is 38.1 dBm (6.5
Watts) for both 800 MHz and 800/1900 MHz SMR systems; and 38.3 dBm (6.7 Watts) for
1900 MHz systems.
3. Determine if more or less attenuation is required to produce the required output signal level.
4. Click on the Remote Fwd Att field Edit button (see Figure 3-9). The Remote Fwd Att
pop-up screen will open as shown in Figure 3-10.

5. Enter the required attenuation value and click OK to close the pop-up screen and to make
the changes take effect.
6. Verify that the appropriate RF output signal level appears in the RF Output Power field
(see Figure 3-9). This is primarily a reference value and should not take the place of
external test equipment when determining the power level of the composite RF output
signal. Depending on the modulation type and number of channels, the EMS software may
report a power level that is higher or lower (± 3 dB) than the actual RF output signal.
Note: To comply with Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) requirements, the
maximum composite output from the antenna cannot exceed 1000 Watts EIRP and the
antenna must be permanently installed in a fixed location that provides at least 6 meters
(20 feet) of separation from all persons.

2.6
Reference Procedure: Enter Host Reverse Attenuation
The level of the RF signal that should be input to the EBTS will vary depending on the type of
EBTS, the receive distribution, and the number of channels present. To interface with the EBTS,
the reverse path signal level must be adjusted to provide the signal level required at the EBTS
input port(s). The HU provides from –1 to +30 dB of gain in the reverse path. By default, the
host reverse attenuator is set to –31 dB of attenuation which provides –1 dB of gain. Use the
following procedure to set the reverse path gain:
1. Check the EBTS manufacturer’s specifications to determine the composite signal level
required at the reverse path input port(s). Note that 800/900 MHz SMR host units have two
reverse path input ports.
2. Determine the overall gain and loss imposed on the signal by the antenna, antenna cable,
and by the cables that connect the HU to the EBTS.
3. Determine the amount of gain required to raise the reverse path signal to the level required
at the EBTS.

Reference Procedure: Enter Host Forward and Reverse Delay
The forward and reverse delay function allows entry of from 0 to 63 µsec of delay in the
forward and reverse paths. This feature is used when multiple systems are used to transport the
same channel and there is a significant difference in the path delay between systems. Additional
delay may be entered to balance the overall system delay. The amount of delay required must be
calculated by the RF engineer and should be included in the system design plan. The default
setting is 0 µsec. Use the following procedure to change the forward and reverse path delay:

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW
This section explains the Digivance system fault detection and alarm reporting system, provides
a method for isolating and troubleshooting faults, and provides test procedures. The Digivance
system requires minimal regular maintenance to insure continuous and satisfactory operation.
The only components that require regular replacement are the HU cooling fans.
Maintenance also includes diagnosing and correcting service problems as they occur. When an
alarm is reported, it will be necessary to follow a systematic troubleshooting procedure to locate
the problem. Once the source of the problem is isolated, the appropriate corrective action can be
taken to restore service. The only internal components that can be replaced are the cooling fans
that mount in the HU. The failure of any other internal component will require replacement of
the entire unit.
1.1
Tools and Materials
The following tools and materials are required in order to complete the maintenance procedures
specified in this section:
•

•
•
IR filtering safety glasses
Patch cords with SC connectors
15 dB in-line SC optical attenuators
Optical power meter (1550 and 1310 nm)

FAULT DETECTION AND ALARM REPORTING
The Digivance LRCS on-board embedded software detects various unit and system faults which
generate ether a Major or Minor alarm. A Major alarm indicates that the system has failed in a
way that directly affects RF transport performance. When a major alarm occurs, all RF
functions are disabled and the system is out of service. A Minor alarm means that system
performance is not affected or in some cases, that the performance may no longer be optimal.
When a minor alarm occurs, RF functions continue and the system remains in service.
The following means are used to report Major and Minor alarms:
• HU alarm contacts
• HU and RU LED’s
• EMS software Graphical User Interface (GUI)
• Network Operations Center - Network Element Manager (NOC/NEM) interface
• SNMP interface
The HU is equipped with a set of both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) alarm
contacts which may be used to report both Major and Minor alarms to an external alarm system.
The alarm contacts summarize the inputs so that any Major or Minor alarm will trigger an alarm
report to the external alarm system.
The HU is equipped with multiple front panel LED indicators that show status and alarm
information by displaying various colors: Green, Red, Yellow, and Off. The RU is equipped
with a single LED indicator that shows status and alarm information by displaying either Red or
Off. A detailed description of the Host Unit and Remote Unit LED indicators is provided
respectively in Table 4-1 and Table 4-2.
The EMS software GUI provides both a summary and a detailed list of alarm information that
includes unit and module level faults, circuit faults, and measured value faults such as voltages,
RF power, and temperature. A summary showing a list of all systems and their current alarm
status is presented through the Alarm OverView display. A more detailed list of alarm
information is presented through the HOST alarm display and the REMOTE alarm display. The
various fault conditions that trigger a major or minor alarm report are shown in the HOST and
REMOTE alarm displays.
The NOC/NEM interface provides the same summary and detailed listing of alarm information
as the EMS software GUI but in an ASCII text string format. Sending the command GET
ALARMSUMMARY produces a list of all systems and their current alarm status. Sending the
command GET ALARM ALL for a specific system will produce a detailed list of alarm
information for the specified system.
The SNMP interface provides alarm information to up to ten SNMP managers which must be
registered with the SNMP agent. The SNMP interface allows the SNMP managers to receive the
alarm and status information generated by the host and remote units. The presentation of the
alarm information is dependent on the features of the SNMP manager.

FAULT ISOLATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Alarm information may be accessed using the HU and RU LED indicators, the EMS software
GUI, the NOC-NEM interface, or the SNMP manager. When an alarm occurs, use the unit LED
indicator(s) and any one of the specified software tools to determine which Digivance system is
affected, which unit (HU or RU) reported the alarm, and the fault that generated the alarm. Then
refer to either Section 3.1 Host Unit Troubleshooting or Section 3.2 RU Troubleshooting to
isolate the problem and to determine the corrective action required.
When attempting to isolate a problem, always determine the initial fault that generated the
alarm report. Some faults may cause additional faults to be reported which tends to obscure the
initial reason for the alarm. To help isolate faults, the EMS GUI provides an AlarmOverview
screen, shown in Figure 4-1, that indicates which Digivance system/unit is reporting the alarm.

Figure 4-1. AlarmOverView Screen
The AlarmOverview screen includes an ALARM HIST indicator which the user should click to
acknowledge that an alarm exists. Acknowledging the alarm opens the Alarm History Info
dialog box (also shown in Figure 4-1) which directs the user to view the EMS Log file for
details. The EMS Log file lists the various faults in the order in which they occurred. Clear each
fault starting with the initial fault. In most instances, clearing the initial fault will also clear any
remaining faults. For additional information on using the AlarmOverview screen, refer to the
Digivance Element Management System User Manual (see Related Publications section).
Note: It is recommended that if there are alarms at both the HU and RU, the optical faults
should be checked and cleared first. Because the HU and RU function as a system, a fault
in the fiber optic link will cause alarms to be reported by both the HU and RU.

TEST PROCEDURES
This section provides procedures for common troubleshooting and maintenance tests. Refer to
these procedures as needed when specified in the Fault/Alarm Isolation Diagrams in Section 3.
4.1
Optical Power Test
A break in an optical fiber or a fault with the optical connector will interrupt communications
between linked components or generate excessive errors. Use the following procedure to isolate
a problem with an optical fiber or connector.
Danger: This equipment uses a Class 1 Laser according to FDA/CDRH rules. Laser radiation
can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not
look directly into the optical transmitter of any unit or exposure to laser radiation may result.
An optical power meter should be used to verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood MUST
be immediately placed over any radiating transmitter or optical fiber connector to avoid the
potential of dangerous amounts of radiation exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles
from entering the connector.
1. Put on the IR filtering safety glasses.
2. Notify the NOC or alarm monitoring system operator that the system is going offline.
3. At the HU, place the On/Off switch in the OFF position (press O). At the RU, place the
AC circuit breaker switch in the open (OFF) position.
Note: Turning off the HU and RU disables the respective lasers which is necessary in
order to safely inspect and clean the optical connectors.
4. Disconnect the optical fiber connectors for the fiber to be tested at the HU and the RU.
5. Inspect the optical connectors. Verify that connectors are clean and that no scratches or
imperfections are visible on the fiber end. Clean and polish the optical connectors if necessary.
6. Connect the optical power meter to the output (receiver) end of the optical fiber as shown
in Figure 4-2. If an attenuator was included in the fiber link, make sure it is installed.

7. Connect the input (transmitter) end of the optical fiber to the transmitting HU or RU.
8. If the transmitting unit is the HU, place the On/Off switch in the ON position (press I). If
the transmitting unit is the RU, close (turn on) the AC circuit breaker switch.
9. Using the transmitting HU or RU as an optical light source, measure the optical power at
the receiver end of the optical fiber. The power level of the optical signal received at the
HU or RU should be –15 to –25 dBm (with attenuator installed). If the power level of the
received optical signal is within this range, the optical fiber and the far end unit are good.
If the power level of the signal is greater than –15 dBm, insert additional attenuation to
bring the signal level within the specified range. If the power level is less than –25 dBm,
the value of the external attenuator is too high, the optical fiber is faulty, or the far end unit
optical transmitter is faulty. Continue with test procedure to isolate the problem
Caution: Erratic operation may occur with an optical input signal level of –13 dBm or higher.
If the optical input signal level exceeds –9 dBm, the optical receiver may be damaged.
10. If the transmitting unit is the HU, place the On/Off switch in the OFF position (press O).
If the transmitting unit is the RU, open (turn off) the AC circuit breaker switch.
11. Disconnect the optical power meter from the receiver end of the optical fiber.
12. Use a 1 meter patch cord to connect the optical power meter to the transmitting HU or
RU as shown in Figure 4-3.

13. If the transmitting unit is the HU, place the On/Off switch in the ON position (press I). If
the transmitting unit is the RU, close (turn on) the AC circuit breaker switch.
14. Measure the optical output power of the transmitting HU or RU. The power level of the
optical output signal from the HU or RU must meet the following specification:
Forward Path Signal at the HU: 0 + 1 dBm
Reverse Path Signal at the RU: +1.3 + 1 dBm
If the power level of the optical output signal is within specifications with a 1 meter patch
cord installed, the fiber optic link is faulty. If the power level of the optical signal is not
within specifications, the far end HU or RU optical transmitter is faulty.

ADCP-75-187 • Preliminary Issue 1B • November 2005 • Section 4: MAINTENANCE
15. If the transmitting unit is the HU, place the On/Off switch in the OFF position (press O).
If the transmitting unit is the RU, open (turn off) the AC circuit breaker switch.
16. Disconnect the optical power meter from the receiver end of the optical fiber.
17. Reconnect the optical fibers to the receiving HU or RU.
18. Repeat steps 3 through 17 for each optical fiber that requires testing.
19. When ready to put the system back into service, place the On/Off switch on the HU in the
ON position (press I) and close (turn on) the AC circuit breaker switch for the RU.
20. Notify the NOC or alarm monitoring service that the system is going back online.
4.2
Optical Loopback Test
The following procedure provides a test to determine if an optical port fault exists with the Host
Unit.
Note: Because the RU is equipped with a WDM, the optical loopback test cannot be
performed on the RU.
Danger: This equipment uses a Class 1 Laser according to FDA/CDRH rules. Laser radiation
can seriously damage the retina of the eye. Do not look into the ends of any optical fiber. Do not
look directly into the optical transmitter of any unit or exposure to laser radiation may result.
An optical power meter should be used to verify active fibers. A protective cap or hood MUST
be immediately placed over any radiating transmitter or optical fiber connector to avoid the
potential of dangerous amounts of radiation exposure. This practice also prevents dirt particles
from entering the connector.
1. Put on the IR filtering safety glasses.
2. Notify the NOC or alarm monitoring system operator that the system is going offline.
3. Place the On/Off switch in the OFF position (press O).
4. Disconnect the optical fiber connectors from the FWD (PORT 1) and REV (PORT 2)
optical ports and place a dust cap over each connector.
5. Plug a 15 dB in-line optical attenuator into the FWD (PORT 1) optical port as shown in
Figure 4-4.
Caution: The optical receiver can be damaged if the power level of the optical input signal is
too high. To avoid damaging the optical receiver when performing the loopback test, always
install a 15 dB in-line attenuator in the optical receiver circuit.
6. Connect a 1 meter patch cord between the optical attenuator and the REV (PORT 2)
optical port.
7. Place the On/Off switch in the ON position (press I).

8. Observe the FWD/REV (PORT 1/PORT 2) LED indicator which will turn either red or
green. If the LED turns red, either the FWD (PORT 1) optical transmitter or the REV
(PORT 2) receiver is faulty. If the LED turns green, both the FWD (PORT 1) and the REV
(PORT 2) optical ports are good.
9. Place the On/Off switch in the OFF position (press O).
10. Remove the dust caps from the optical fiber connectors.
11. Clean each connector (follow connector supplier’s recommendations) and then insert each
connector into the appropriate optical port.
12. When ready to put the HU back into service, place the On/Off switch in the ON position
(press I).
13. Notify the NOC or alarm monitoring service that the system is going back online.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The only scheduled maintenance required for the SCS system is to remove and replace the HU
cooling fans. This should be done at 60 month intervals. Refer to the applicable Digivance
LRCS Host Unit Installation and Maintenance Manual (See Related Publications section) for
the procedure.
