9. Set the DMC crimping tool to position 4 (for 24 AWG wire), and give the positioner a clockwise twist
to ensure that it is set properly and will crimp the contact pins on four sides.
10. Place a contact pin on a lead and check that the lead is inserted completely by looking in the hole in
the contact pin; see Figure 51. There should be no more than 1 mm (0.04 in.) of exposed conductor
protruding from the pin.
Insert the pin into the DMC tool as far as it can go, and crimp the pin. The DMC tool has a ratchet
mechanism that does not release until the pin has been crimped properly.
Repeat this step for each lead.

11. Arrange the four pins as indicated in Figure 52, and insert them simultaneously into the insert; the
pins enter the side of the insert that has the white marking. The pins must be inserted simultaneously
because the conductors are not long enough to be inserted one at a time. Push each pin until it clicks
into position, then confirm that contact is secure by gently pulling on the conductor.
The white marking on the insert identifies the pins. The white circle identifies pin 1, and pins 2, 3 and
4 follow counterclockwise.
Use the removal tool if the pins are in the wrong holes.

12. Put the insert into the insert carrier; see Figure 53.
When assembled properly, the tab on the carrier faces towards the pins, the tab on the insert fits in
the cutout in the carrier, and the bevel in the carrier fits on the bevel on the cone washer. The matching bevels pinch the braided shielding when the connector is completely assembled.

2.9 – Installing an L4PNM Heliax connector
2.9.1 – Overview
The following parts are required:
– Heliax LDF4 cable.
– Heliax L4PNM connector (solder-connect or ring-flare variant).
All tools and hardware required for this procedure except wrenches and soldering tools should be
ordered from Heliax. See Appendix A for details.
Note - Newbridge Broadband Wireless equipment should only be installed by qualified
individuals who are trained and certified for the type of installation task assigned to them.
2.9.2 – To add a solder-connect L4PNM connector
1. Strip 51 mm (2 in.) or more of the cable jacket from the IF cable, ending at the lowest point of a valley
between two corrugations, as shown in Figure 56.
Note - This step can be done more accurately and quickly if Heliax cable tool 207886 is used
to score the cable jacket and cut the outer conductor.

3. Use a small grease brush to lubricate the O-ring with the silicone grease shipped with the connector.
4. Install the clamping nut on the cable by sliding it over the cable end until it is stopped by the O-ring.
The fingers of the clamping nut should stop exactly half-way through a corrugation peak, as shown
in Figure 58.
Clamping nut

5. Remove the portion of outer conductor that is not covered by the clamping nut.
Note - Substep i is unnecessary if Heliax cable tool 207886 was used in step 1 to score the
cable jacket, and cut the outer conductor. If the Heliax cable tool was used, proceed to
substep 2.
1. Use a fine-tooth saw to cut through the outer conductor flush with the clamping nut fingers. Do
not cut deeper than the outer conductor, and make sure that the cut is made along the entire
circumference where the clamping nut fingers meet the outer conductor; see Figure 59.
Figure 59 – Cutting the outer conductor
2. Grasp the outer conductor with pliers, and carefully pull it off. When removed, the foam dielectric
is exposed, as seen in Figure 60.

6. Remove the foam dielectric from the inner conductor.
1. Use a knife to cut the foam dielectric flush with the outer conductor, to the depth of the inner
conductor, then cut along the length of the inner conductor several times until all the foam
dielectric is removed from the inner conductor; see Figure 61.
Figure 61 – Removing the foam dielectric
2. Use a knife to carefully scrape any remaining dielectric foam adhesive from the inner conductor.
Be careful not to damage the inner conductor.
7. Trim the inner conductor.
1. Use a fine-tooth saw to trim the inner conductor to 5 mm (7/32 in.) from the outer conductor and
clamping nut fingers, as shown in Figure 62.
2. Use a small file to remove any burrs on the end of the inner conductor.
3. Use a clean wire brush to remove any debris from the foam dielectric.

9. Flare the outer conductor:
1. Use a flaring tool to flare the outer conductor, as shown in Figure 64. The flared outer conductor
should not extend past the clamping nut fingers.
2. Use a small file to remove any burrs or irregularities on the end of the inner conductor.
3. Use a clean wire brush to remove any debris from the foam dielectric.

10. Solder the pin to the inner conductor:
1. Cut 1 mm (0.040 in.) diameter solder to a length equal to the depth of the pin cup, roll the length
into a ball, and insert it into the pin cup. When the pin cup is heated by the soldering iron, this
solder will melt and provide a even solder bond on the inside of the pin cup.
2. Use the heat shield, soldering pliers and soldering iron to solder the pin to the inner conductor,
as shown in Figure 65. Apply extra solder to the holes in the pin cup if required.
3. Remove excess solder from the solder holes using wire cutters and/or emery paper.

2.10– BT system loss calibration
2.10.1– Overview
This chapter demonstrates how to measure and calibrate the system according to the required upstream
and downstream losses.
In both upstream and downstream loss calculations, losses due to connectors and connections, cable
runs, and passive devices, such as the Bias-T or 12:2 Combiner/Splitter, are part of the measured loss.
3CC12426AAAA TQ BJA 01
Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04
95/346
104
The downstream path loss is measured from the IBS-TLX card Tx SMA cable to the end of the IF cable
that connects to the X-Pol RBS Tx. The upstream path is measured from the IBS-TLX card Rx SMA
cable to the end of the IF cable that connects to the X-Pol RBS Rx. If the measured upstream or
downstream loss is less than the value required, an attenuator is installed between the 12:2 Combiner/
Splitter and the Bias-T.
Table 27 lists the equipment required to calibrate the upstream and downstream IF cable losses.
Figure 82 shows the equipment setup used to measure upstream or downstream cable loss.
Measurements should be made at the lowest and highest frequencies of the upstream and downstream
IF bands for your system. The average of the pair of measurements is used to determine the nominal
amount of attenuation needed in the upstream and downstream paths.

2.10.2– To calibrating the upstream and downstream cable runs
Perform the following procedure for the downstream and upstream cable runs.
1. Ensure the dc power to the surge protector is disconnected.
If dc power is not disconnected from the IF cables, the test equipment will be damaged. To
remove dc power, switch off the appropriate circuit breaker on the power distribution system
to isolate the individual IF channel.
2. Disconnect the dc power cables from the Bias-Ts.
3. Disconnect the SMA cables from the IBS card.
4. Disconnect the IF cables from the X-Pol RBS Tx and X-Pol RBS Rx.

5. Measure the losses at the lowest and highest frequencies in the frequency band used by the system.
1. Set the signal generator frequency to the Llow frequency and the RF output power level to
0 dBm.
2. Connect the signal generator to the appropriate SMA cable (IBS-TLX). Connect the power meter
to the X-Pol RBS Tx/X-Pol RBS Rx IF cable. Figure 82 shows the test setup.
3. Measure the RF power level with the power meter. Record this value as the upstream or
downstream Llow value.
4. Repeat this step at the Lhi frequency.
6. Use the equation below to calculate the mean attenuation. Record the result as the downstream or
upstream LA nom value.
LA nom= ((Llow + Lhi)/2)
where
LA nom represents the required attenuation value (nominal)
Llow represents the loss measurement at the lowest frequency
Lhi represents the loss measurement at the highest frequency
LR represents the required loss value (27 dB ±1 dB for the downstream path, 24 ±1 dB for the upstream path)
7. Enter in 7390LT radiolink intallation screen recorded attenuation value for downstream and
upstream cables.
8. Reconnect the SMA and IF cables.
9. Reconnect the Bias-T power cables.
10. Reapply the dc power.

2.11– Simplified description of the Base Station (7390BS)
The A7390 system Base Station (7390BS) consists of the following main elements:
– one or more (up to eight) external transceivers, comprising the radio and the antenna part and
designated "X-Pol RBS" (Radio Base Station);
– one modem rack, including the power supply unit and interfaces; this is the "indoor" part and designated DBS (Digital Base Station);
– a cables linking the X-Pol RBS and the DBS ("X-Pol RBS/DBS link");
– a network management and configuration station (7390LT), based on the use of a PC with appropriate software.
