3.3 –Installing the equipment

It is recommended that all peripheral equipment (e.g., repeaters, splitters) as well as the engineering

accessories should be installed before installation of the Terminal Station.

3.3.1 – Information required for installation

Appendix 1 contains a sheet for you to complete to collate all the general information needed for the installation

procedure.

3.3.2 – Precautions concerning electromagnetic compatibility

Installation is designed to meet all new requirements concerning electromagnetic compatibility and safety

The performance of the equipment depends on installation practices (cable installation, ground connections,

etc.) which should be based on best trade practices and which may be degraded if this pratices are not

respected.

3.3.3 – Tools required

The installation personnel must possess a standard installation toolkit (containing, in particular: drill, drill bits,

soldering iron, cable tie pliers, terminal pliers).

The list of tools required for the mechanical installation of the Terminal Station is given below.

Tool Use

5 mm Allen key (for M6 screw) For securing the pole mounting and wall mounting

13 wrench For tightening the U bolts on the 40 to 50 mm tube

Level gauge or inclinometer For verticaly of the bearing axis

A compass and a pair of binoculars (not supplied) are useful for rough prepointing of the antenna.

The use of a torque wrench is recommended.

3.4 –Installation of the Terminal Station RT unit

IMPORTANT NOTE: NEVER HANDLE THE RT UNIT BY ITS ANTENNA BUT BY THE

BODY OF THE RADIO OR THE SUPPORT ARM.

Considerations:

The installation of the RT unit should satisfy the following criteria:

– unimpeded direct line of sight between RT unit and RBS (Base Station),

– perfect mechanical rigidity,

– enabling precise antenna alignment.

The 9900RT is designed for outdoor installation without any particular protection. However, the following

recommendations should be respected:

– avoid installation below bird nesting areas,

– avoid attaching to a surface prone to vibrations (machinery, lift housing, air conditioning, etc.).

– avoid attaching to chimneys which give off fat deposits, dust and other aerosols which are liable to come

to rest on the equipment,

– avoid proximity to sources of heat,

– avoid placing the equipment in proximity to corrosive gas outputs,

– avoid placing the equipment below roof run–offs not equipped with guttering (high risk of microwave

short–circuit).

– avoid installing at man–height to prevent human collisions against the antenna. This could cut the radio

link with the central station.

Two types of assembly are possible:

– on a flat, vertical surface (e.g., a wall),

– on a pole/tube (existing or to be installed), using threaded U–bolts and nuts (M8).

Note : The pole/tube selected should be sufficiently rigid to prevent antenna misalignment and resist

vibrations.

Use tube supports that comply with our recommendations. Support references are mentionned in the

next chapters.

3.4.1 – Definition of assemblies with respect to chosen polarization

The Terminal Station RT unit can be mounted with horizontal (H) or vertical (V) polarization.

Terminal Station and Base Station must use the same polarization.

To mount the radio/antenna assembly on the support arm, in the event of horizontal polarization, the horizontal

polarization kit must be used. This consists of an additional joint to compensate for the mechanical rotation of

the system.

The pole–mounting mechanical assembly consists of (Figure 8):

– two components in the case of vertical polarization (V):

Swall mounting (ref.1)

Sbearing mounting (ref.2),

– three components in the case of horizontal polarization (H):

Swall mounting (ref.1)

Sbearing mounting (ref.2)

Spolarisation mounting (ref.3).

Figure 8 – Support arm components

A polarization slot indicator at the rear of the RT unit can be checked to confirm that the assembly is correct

with respect to the chosen polarization:

– if the letter “H” can be read naturally, polarization is horizontal,

– if the letter “V” can be read naturally, polarization is vertical,

3.4.2 – Installation of the 9900RT on a wall or flat vertical surface

Considerations:

– If attaching the RT unit using bolts and plugs, select the attachment components to suit the composition

of the attachment surface.

– The surface chosen should not be prone to vibrations (e.g., avoid machine housings).

– To mark the drill holes, use the drilling template printed on the inside panel of the RT unit packaging

box.

Figure 11 – Installation of the RT unit on a wall

Stages

1. Select the installation location and determine the polarization of the RT unit.

2. Place the drilling template against the wall (or surface) to be pierced.

3.4.3 – Installation of the RT unit on a tube

Considerations

– Install on tube using two U–bolts.

– Installation may be carried out on a newly installed or existing tube, using the two U–bolts.

– The external diameter of the tube is 50 mm in standard configuration.

– The support tube, along with the U–bolts, must be clean and (apart from threads) grease–free.

– If specific site features make perfect alignment impossible (line of sight parallel to the wall, for example).

you are recommended to use a support that complies with our specifications (see references) in the

paragraphs which follow.

IMPORTANT : WALL MOUNT VERTICALITY OF +/– 1° REQUIRED FOR POLARIZATION

IMPORTANT NOTE: THE USE OF SUPPORTS WITH A SLENDERNESS RATIO

GREATER THAN OUR MODELS SHOULD BE EXCLUDED (TOO FLEXIBLE)

Note : the use of supports with slenderness ratios inferior to our own is authorized (more rigid).

Note : slenderness ratio = length / cross–section of sections used.

Steps

1. Select the installation location and determine the polarization of the RT.

2. Install and secure the wall mounting (V et H polarization) using the two U–bolts (and nuts and washers)

provided for this purpose or the attachment hardware delivered with the specific wall mount.

Note : screw torque = 10.5 to 12 m.N.

Note : The vertical axis of the wall mounting assembly must be respected.

3. Install and secure the bearing mounting on the wall mounting (V and H polarization), See Figure 8.

To continue the hardware installation, go to step 4 in the case of horizontal polarization or go directly to step

5 for vertical polarization.

4. Install and secure the polarization mounting (H polarization only).

5. Install and secure the RT radio unit with its antenna on the support arm. Check the polarization indicator

to check correct polarization.

6. Release the RT assembly locking screw and carry out antenna prepointing visually and/or using a compass

and a map. To do this, orientate the assembly so that the antenna is pointed towards the Base Station

antenna.

Considerations

– On the RT unit, the ground terminal is in the form of a tapped hole (see figure 18) on the attachment

axis of the pole mounting.

– The RT unit can be grounded using the grounding lug and screw hardware supplied with the equipment.

The grounding uses a green and yellow cable with an insulating sheath, and with a minimum

cross–section of 16 mm2.

Steps

1. Crimp a lug (ref.: 16–6 CT) on to the grounding cable (16 mm2 cross–section).

2. Screw the cable lug into the tapped hole. Use an M6 screw.

Issue 02 - January 04, 2000

3.5 –Installation of the RT/NT link

Considerations

– The electrical connection between the RT unit and the NT unit of the Terminal Station is made using

a type ET 2PA 981 75 ohms coaxial cable equipped with “F” connectors (at the NT side end) and “N”

connectors (at the RT side end).

– If a single cable (70 meters without connectors) does not cover the distance between the RT unit and

the NT unit, two or more repeaters must be used. For the possible configurations and installation of

a repeater, see paragraph 3.7 of the present chapter.

– If the RT unit is connected to several NTs of the Terminal Station, use several splitters. For the possible

configurations, and installation of a splitter, see paragraph 3.8 of the present chapter.

– The length of the cable used must be noted. In order to facilitate this measurement, refer to the markings

printed on the cables: every meter, on the outer sheath, the number of meters is indicated

incrementally. To know the length of cable installed, subtract the number at one end from the number

at the other end of the cable used. Note the result at the NT.

– You are recommended to secure the coaxial cable every meter with a cable tie.

Figure 19 – Coaxial cable

“F” connnector

To NT unit “N” connnector

To RT unit

Steps

1. Carry out the wiring between the RT unit and the NT unit.

Note : In the event of the use of repeaters and/or splitters, use the number of cables required by the

configuration. Refer to paragraphs 3.7 and 3.8 of this chapter.

Note : Make a drip groove where the cable enters the building, respection the cable’s bending radius(100 mm

minimum), in order to prevent water infiltration.

AVOID A TOO LONG PARALLEL WALK BETWEEN THE RT/NT COAXIAL LINK AND

ELECTRICAL CABLES, OR GSM/DCS BASE STATION CABLES.

2. Note the length of the cable installed. This information will be entered into the database when the equipment

is commissioned using the configuration software.

Note : The accuracy required by the configuration software is + 1.5 m.

3. At the RT unit side end, equip the cable with a type “N” 75 ohm coaxial connector, supplied with the

equipment. For attaching the coaxial terminals, refer to the manufacturer’s Assembly manual and use the

document, use and communication of its contents

33/683CC11095AAAA TQ BJA 02 Issue 02 - January 04, 2000

specific tools as recommended. One of the main causes of installation problems is the faulty mounting of

connectors.

NEVER USE 50 OHM CONNECTORS, AT THE RISK OF DESTROYING THE RADIO

UNIT.

IMPORTANT NOTE: NEVER HANDLE THE RT UNIT BY ITS ANTENNA BUT BY THE

BODY OF THE RADIO OR THE SUPPORT ARM.

IMPERATIVE : PROTECT THE “N” CONNECTOR CONNECTION WITH A PRE–PASTED

THERMOSHRINKABLE SLEEVE.

Figure 20 – Connecting the “N” connector with the thermoshrinkable sleeve

Thermoshrink a pre–pasted sleeve on the

connector/terminal/cable assembly 70 mm

along. (80 mm minimum long before ther-

moshrink)

The sleeve end should stop at the termi-

nal base.

4. Attach the cable to the RT unit using a cable tie.

THE COAXIAL CABLE SHOULD NEVER BE TOO TIGHT BETWEEN THE ODU AND ITS

MOUNTING. ADJUST THE POSITION OF THE MOUNTING AND THE LENGHT OF THE

CABLE TO SUIT, OTHERWISE THERE IS A MAJOR RISK OF ANTENNA MISALIGMENT

OR CABLE DAMAGE AT THE CONNECTOR. ON THE OTHER HAND, TOO SLACK A

CONNECTION CAN HAVE THE SAME CONSEQUENCES UNDER THE EFFECT TO THE

WIND.

Note : No overtighten the cable tie on the cable; this could cause deformation of the dielectric and subsequent

loss of performance.

5. Run the cable to the NT unit and equip it with a type “F” 75 ohm coaxial connector, supplied with the

equipment.

3.6 –Installation of the Terminal Station 9900NT Indoor Unit

A SPACE OF 1U (in the event of rack mounting) OR APPROXIMATELY 50 mm MUST

BE LEFT FREE ABOVE THE TERMINAL STATION IDU.

NEVER STORE DOCUMENTATION OR ANY OTHER OBJECTS ABOVE THE NT UNIT

ON THE VENTILATION HOLES. THIS MAY CAUSE IT TO BE DAMAGED.

Considerations

– The NT units are intended for indoor installation only.

– The NT should be positioned in accordance with the needs of the user and the technical constraints

(e.g., minimum distances to be respected, topology of the connections, accessibility of the RT/NT link,

power supply).

– Always place the NT unit in a dry, dust–free environment, away from any major source of heat

(–5 < T< + 45°).

– Always place the NT unit near a rated power source: 85/264V – 47/63Hz with ground connection.

Note : Use grounded power connections only. Avoid the use of extension cables.

– The power supply is turned on after installation of the NT, when it is commissioned.

– Do not install the NT too close to the ground (keep at a distance from dust and floor cleaning products).

– do not install on premises containing corrosive materials.

(see Figure 24).

– The ground / earth connection should be made as directly as possible between the unit and the general

grounding system of the side (bar, rod, plate, etc.).

Steps

1. Crimp a lug (ref.: 16–6 CT) on to the grounding cable (16 mm2 cross–section).

2. Screw the cable lug into the terminal designed for this purpose. Use an M6 screw.

3.7 –Installation of one or more repeater modules

Considerations

– In the case of a coaxial cable to cover a distance greater than 70 meters between ODU (9900RT) and

IDU (9900NT), a repeater module is required to compensate losses.

– Repeaters are installed indoors only, sheltered from dust and heat.

– The repeater must be installed in series on the RT/NT connection (coaxial cable).

– Respect the installation orientation of the repeaters, paying attention to the reference marks on the

casing.

– The repeater needs no setting. It has no individual power supply: the repeater automatically takes its

power from the supply passing through the RT/NT connection.

– The repeater is a fixed gain bi–directional amplifier. This means that the installation methodology

described below MUST be respected.

Repeater installation methodology

1. Between repeater and RT unit, the length of the connection (coaxial cable) is always variable: from 0 to 70

meters.

2. Between repeater and NT unit, the length of the connection (coaxial cable) is always fixed: 70 meters.

First example

Length of coaxial cable less than 140 m (here, 110 m).

A single repeater is used.

Figure 25 –Installation with one repeater

Example: 40 meters Fixed: 70 meters

Repeater

The variable length, < 70 m, is always situated between repeater and RT unit.

The fixed length, 70 m, is always situated between repeater and NT unit.

Steps

1. Select the installation location with respect to the location of the NT unit.

2. Install and secure the repeater.

3. Wire the repeater to the NT unit and to the RT unit, respecting the instructions contained in the installation

methodology above.

4. Note the length of the cables installed. The length of each should be < 70 m. This information will be entered

in the database when the equipment is commissioned, using the configuration software.

Note : The accuracy required by the configuration software is + 1.5 m.

5. If the last 70 meter section must be coiled, respect a minimum bending radius of 200 mm.

IN ALL CASES, THE LENGTH OF THE CABLE SHOULD NOT EXCEED 210 meters FOR

A MAXIMUM OF 2 REPEATERS.

3.8 –Installation of one or several repeaters with passive splitter(s)

Considerations

– Where there are several NT units for a single RT unit, one or several splitter(s) need(s) to be used.

– For a single RT unit it is possible to mount up to four NT units.

– The passive splitter is installed in series on the RT/NT connection (coaxial cable).

– The passive splitter has no individual power supply: it feeds the power through from the NT to the RT.

– Respect the installation orientation of the repeaters and splitters, paying attention to the reference

marks on the casing.

– The length of the cable used must be noted. In order to facilitate this measurement, refer to the markings

printed on the cables: every meter, on the outer sheath. To know the length of cable installed, subtract

the number at one end from the number at the other end of the cable used.

Methodology

– The system supports a maximum of 2 repeaters and 3 splitters per route. Route means the path

between an NT unit and the RT unit.

– The variable distance between an RT and a repeater is from 0 to 70 meters.

– The fixed distance between two repeaters is 70 meters.

– The fixed distance between a repeater and an NT is 70 meters.

– The fixed distance between two repeaters encompassing a passive splitter is 50 meters.

– The fixed distance between a repeater and an NT, and encompassing a splitter, is 50 meters

– The fixed distance between two repeaters encompassing two passive splitters is 30 meters.

– The fixed distance between a repeater and an NT, encompassing two splitters, is 30 meters

– If a fixed lenght section must be coiled, respect a minimum bending radius of 200 mm.

11. Connect the RT/NT connection cable to the RT unit.

4.3 –Commissioning the NT IDU

Note : To carry out the following phases of the Terminal Station commissioning, the link Base Station must be

operational and its antenna correctly orientated.

Considerations

– Before commissioning the NT unit, complete the RT unit adjustment procedures.

– No adjustment is required for commissioning the NT.

– To check the voltage at the mains connector terminals, use a measuring instrument (voltmeter).

– For the mains connection, use only the connection cable supplied with the equipment.

– Never use an extension cable for connecting the NT unit to the power source.

Stages (Figure 40)

1. Connect the RT/NT connection cable. Use ref. 1 connector.

2. To ground the NT unit in this way, carry out the procedures described in Chapter 3.

Use the lug and screw hardware supplied with the equipment, ref. 7.

3. Check that the mains socket to which the NT is to be connected supplies voltage compliant with the

equipment characteristics and that it is fitted with an earth.

4. Connect the NT connection cable to the NT connector (ref. 5) and then to the mains.

5. Power–up the NT unit using the On/Off switch (ref. 6); the green “Power” LED (ref. 3) lights up. The red

“Alarm” LED (ref. 4) starts to flash at different rates according to the current phase.

6. Observe the (automatic) initialization time of the NT. As soon as the red LED (ref. 4) goes out, the system

is operational.

5 – Operation and maintenance

5.1 –Network supervision

The network operator receives the alarms sent by the network equipment. With the aid of the the 9900LT

software applications, the operator can view and analyse the alarms and trigger the appropriate corrective

operations (see procedures below).

In the event of unsatisfactory results from the performance measurement programs, analyses may be made

to localise the implicated station and implement the necessary maintenance operations to restore original link

performance.

On detection of a fault, the operator should go to the faulty station. He should take a laptop PC enabling him

to configure, if required, certain system characteristics.

5.2 –Preventive maintenance

This maintenance is carried out, either during a corrective maintenance inspection, or during a periodic

inspection, on all station equipment. It consists in inspecting the units and their interconnections (connectors,

cables, sockets, etc.) and ensuring that the environment of the Indoor Units (NTs) complies with installation

requirements (see section 3 of this Manual). In case of doubt, the suspect parts should be checked, taking all

precautions to avoid interrupting link data transmission.

5.3 –Corrective maintenance

5.3.1 – Methodology

– Analysing the NT unit alarm LEDs,

– In the case of alarms, localising them with the aid of configuration and management programs installed

in a PEX, analysing them and carrying out the necessary corrections (changing the unit, module, cable,

etc.).

5.3.2 – Use of 9900LT software programs for alarm localisation

To activate and use the alarms refer to section 4.10 of the Base Station User Manual, ref.: 3CC10875AAAA TQ

BJB .
