INTRODUCTION 2.1. PURPOSE Cellular telephone systems transmit signals in two directions between base transceiver station (BTS) and mobile stations (MS) within the signal coverage area. If weak signal transmissions occur within the coverage area because of indoor applications, topological conditions or distance from the transmitter, extension of the transmission range can be achieved by means of an optical distribution system. Such a system contains an optical master unit and several remote units. The number of the remote units depends on the hardware and software configuration. The remote units are connected to the master unit with optical links. The optical loss must be less than 10 dB inclusive optical couplers or splitters. The master unit is the connection to the base transceiver stations. The configuration of a master unit depends on the number of the remote units and the frequency range. The optical transmission uses Wavelength Division Multiplex (WDM) systems with a wavelength of 1550 nm in the uplink and 1310 nm in the downlink. 2.2. THE ION-M4/8 19" RU - RF COVERAGE FOR 400 / 800 MHZ NETWORKS Andrew’s ION-M4/8 19" is a robust, intelligent optical RU to meet designer’s requirements for high reliability with various redundancy and extension options. The ION-M4/8 19" is a multi-band, multi-carrier optical RU. It is used in conjunction with a MU in the ION-M optical distribution system. This system transports a Tetra, Tetrapol, CDMA or any other signal within up to 4 frequency bands in 400 MHz and the entire 800 MHz IDEN band while providing a cost-effective solution to distribute capacity from a cluster of base stations. The ION-M optical distribution system is a cost-efficient coverage solution for dense urban areas, tunnels, subways, railways, roadways, airports, convention centres, and other locations where physical structures increase path loss. Page 13 User’s Manual for ION-M4/8 19" The ION-M4/8 19" has been specifically designed to reduce zoning problems. The compact mechanical housing is designed to mount alongside structures in such a way that it has minimal visual impact. The ION-M can be easily set-up and supervised by a graphical user interface (GUI). An auto-levelling function compensates for the optical link loss and making installation easy and quick. The entire system can be monitored remotely by A.I.M.O.S., the Andrew OMC. The Andrew OMC uses SNMP protocol and is compliant to X.733 standard. Should a sophisticated management interface not be required, the MU can be directly connected to the alarm interface of a base station via relay contacts. Features: • Efficient, high power amplifier • WDM for uplink/downlink to multiple RUs on a single fibre • Star and daisy chain configuration • Redundancy and extension options available • Complete operations and management system for configuration and alarming • OMC with SNMP according to X.733 standard available • Easy commissioning by means of auto-setup and auto-levelling Page 14 M0132AVA_FCC.doc 32V Ext.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION – GENERAL Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.2 Health and Safety Warnings. 1. Do not install the unit in a way or at a place where the specifications outlined in the Environmental and Safety Specifications leaflet of the manufacturer are not met. 2. The unit is designated for 19" rack mounting only. 3. It is recommended only to use the mounting hardware delivered by the manufacturer. If different mounting hardware is used, the specifications for stationary use of the remote unit must not be exceeded. ) Note: Exceeding the specified load limits may cause the loss of warranty! 4. The unit is considerably heavy. Ensure there is adequate manpower to handle the weight of the system (43 kg). 5. Due to high power dissipation the ION-M4/8 19" can reach very high temperatures. For that reason sufficient airflow must be ensured so that the outside temperature and the air temperature inside the cabinet on installation site must not exceed 40 °C. The surface temperature must not exceed +70 C in any operating condition. Above and below the unit a minimum distance of 1 HU to other equipment has to be kept. Also observe the instructions in the individual mounting procedures. 6. Only operate the unit in the 19" rack with door or use additional fan module. 7. For mounting of the unit in a 19" rack, slide rails are required due to the considerable weight of the unit. If any different or additional mounting material is used, ensure that the mounting remains as safe as the mounting designed by the manufacturer. Ensure that the static and dynamic strengths are adequate for the environmental conditions of the site. The mounting itself must not vibrate, swing or move in any way that might cause damage to the remote unit. Page 25 User’s Manual for ION-M4/8 19" 4.2. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION 4.2.1. General Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.2 Health and Safety Warnings. 1. This unit contains dangerous voltages. Loss of life, severe personal injury or property damage can be the result if the instructions contained in this manual are not followed. 2. It is compulsory to ground the unit before connecting power supply. 3. Although the remote unit is internally protected against over-voltage, it is strongly recommended to earth the antenna cables close to the antenna connectors of the remote unit for protection against atmospheric discharge. In areas with strong lightning it is highly recommended to insert additional lightning protection. 4. If the mains connector of the remote unit is not easily accessible, a disconnect device in the mains circuit must be provided within easy reach. 5. Before connecting or disconnecting the mains connector at the remote unit, ensure that mains supply is disconnected. 6. Make sure that an appropriate circuit breaker and an over-current limiting device are connected between mains and remote unit. 7. A connection of mains supply to a power socket requires the power socket to be nearby the remote unit. 8. Incorrectly wired connections can destroy electrical and electronic components. 9. To avoid corrosion at the connectors caused by electrochemical processes, the material of the cable connectors must not cause a higher potential difference than 0.6 V (see electrochemical contact series). 10. It is sufficient to tighten N-antenna connectors hand-screwed. Any use of a tool (e.g. pair of pliers) might cause damage to the connector and thus lead to malfunctioning of the remote unit. 11. For unstabilized electric networks which frequently generate spikes, it is advised to use a voltage limiting device. 12. The unit complies with the surge requirement according to EN 61000-4-5 (fine protection); however, it is recommended to install an additional medium (via local supply connection) and/or coarse protection (external surge protection) depending on the individual application in order to avoid damage caused by over-current. 13. Observe the labels on the front panels before connecting or disconnecting any cables. 14. Observe that the cable-cross section is 3 x 1.5 mm2 for the voltage feed and 4 mm2 for the grounding bolt.

If the unit is equipped with two power supplies, two terminals are provided, one for each power supply. M0132AVA_FCC.doc 4 Commissioning 4.3. CONNECTION OF THE ANTENNA CABLES The remote unit has N-type antenna connectors. For its location, please refer to chapter 4.2.2 Cabling and Connections. For mounting the cable connectors, it is recommended to refer to the corresponding documentation of the connector manufacturer. The bending radius of the antenna cables must remain within the given specifications. For the selection of cable and antenna it should be considered that, on the one hand, a cable with higher loss is less expensive but, on the other hand, it impairs performance. It is sufficient to tighten the N-antenna connectors hand-tight. The use of a tool (like pliers) may cause damage to the connector and, therefore, lead to a malfunctioning of the remote unit. 4.4. OPTICAL-FIBRE-CABLE CONNECTION – RULES Optical signals are transmitted by use of optical fibres. When connecting these fibres observe the following instructions. ) Note: Care should be taken when connecting and disconnecting fibre-optic cables. Scratches and dust significantly affect system performance and may permanently damage the connector. Always use protective caps on fibre-optic connectors not in use. In general, optical fibres do not need special protective measures. However, protection against environmental influences e.g. rodents and humidity must be considered. The optical fibre is a single-mode fibre. Type is E9/125 µm with the following minimum requirements. Attenuation: <0.36 dB / km @ 1310 nm Dispersion: <3.5 ps / nm km @ 1310 nm <0.26 dB / km @ 1550 nm <18.0 ps / nm km @ 1550 nm The specified bending radius of the optical fibres must not be exceeded. The pigtails for the connection between master and remote unit must have a sufficient length. A protection for the feeding into units must be given. System attenuation and attenuation of optical components must be determined. This can be achieved by measuring attenuation and reflection with an appropriate measuring instrument. For pigtails, a total value of < 0.4 dB (measured to a reference plug) can be assumed due to the dead zone of the reflectometer. These measurements must be made with a sufficient length of optical fibre, at the input and output of the device which has to be measured. Page 29 User’s Manual for ION-M4/8 19" Fibre-cable connectors have to be of the same type (E2000APC) as the connectors used for the unit. The fibre-optic cables are connected to the optical transceiver. Angled connectors are not compatible with straight optical connectors; non-compatibility of connectors will result in permanent damage to both connectors. Before connecting the fibre cables, follow the procedure below to ensure optimized performance. It is important for these procedures to be carried out with care: ¾ Remove fibre-optic protective caps. ¾ Do not bend the fibre-optic cable in a tight radius (< 4 cm) as this may cause cable damage and interrupt transmission. ¾ Using high-grade alcohol and lint-free cotton cleaning swabs, clean the end of the fibre-optic cable that will be inserted in the optical connectors on the donor interface box. ¾ Blow out the laser receptacle with clean and dry compressed air to remove any particulate matter. ¾ Connect the fibre-optic cables by inserting the cable end into the laser receptacle and aligning the key (on the cable end) with the keyed slot. ¾ Do not use any index matching gels or fluids of any kind in these connectors. Gels are intended for laboratory use and attract dirt in the field. 4.5. AUTO-LEVELLING For a proper operation of the auto-levelling function, a defined level has to be set at the optical interface (DL) of the master unit. The proposed level will be indicated on the Auot-Levelling-Help on WEB-GUI Page 30 M0132AVA_FCC.doc 4 Commissioning 4.6. COMMISSIONING Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.2 Health and Safety Warnings as well as the description carefully to avoid mistakes and proceed step by step as described! • Do not operate the remote unit without terminating the antenna connectors. The antenna connectors may be terminated by connecting them to their respective antennas or to a dummy load. • Only qualified personnel should carry out the electrical, mechanical, commissioning and maintenance activities that require the unit to be powered on when open. • When working on the remote unit do not damage the warranty labels on the devices.
