2. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
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.
WDM (Wave Division Multiplex) filters are integrated in the optical modules. For the
UL, a wavelength within 1540 nm – 1562 nm is used. For the DL, a wavelength of
1310 ±20 nm is used. The maximum output power for the UL and DL is 5.7 mW.
2.2. THE ION™-M7P/7P/85P/19P (INTELLIGENT OPTICAL NETWORK; MMR)
The ION-M7P/7P/85P/19P is a LTE MIMO, 850 MHz, and1900 MHz CDMA/WCDMA
multi-operator Remote Unit with various Extension Units. It is used in conjunction
with a Master Unit in the ION optical distribution system. This system transports
multiple LTE channels, a 850 MHz, and a 1900 MHz wideband signal simultaneously,
providing a cost-effective solution for distributing capacity from one or more base
stations.
The ION-M7P/7P/85P/19P transports signals on the RF layer in a very inexpensive
manner. This means that multiple operators and multiple technologies are moved
simultaneously from a cluster of base stations to a remote location over the same
fiber.
The ION optical distribution system is a cost-effective coverage solution for dense
urban areas, tunnels, subway, airports, convention centers, high-rise buildings and
other locations where physical structures increase path loss. It has been specifically
designed to reduce zoning problems and to provide homogeneous coverage. The
compact, mechanical design is specifically architected to mount inside of poles or
along side structures in such a way that it has a minimal visual impact.
Page 13 Manual ION-M7P-7P-85P-19P
MF0145A4A.doc
The ION-M7P/7P/85P/19P is available in single (SISO) or multi-channel (MIMO)
configuration supporting 700 MHz, LTE, 850 MHz, and 1900 MHz in parallel. It has
been specifically tested and optimized for LTE, OFDM, CDMA, and WCDMA signals.
The ION is easily set-up and supervised via a graphical user interface (GUI). Remote
Units can be commissioned through the use of built-in test equipment. An auto-
leveling function compensates for the optical link loss making installation easy and
quick. The entire system may be monitored remotely via an Andrew OMC. This
platform uses SNMP protocol and is compliant to X.733 standard.
Should a sophisticated interface not be required, the Master Unit can be directly
connected to the alarm interface of a base station via its contact relay.
Features at a glance:
Multi-channel, multi-operator support
Reduced visual impact form factor
Efficient, high power amplifiers
Single fiber for MIMO and multiple remotes
Comprehensive operations and management system for configuration and
alarming

3. COMMISSIONING
3.1. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
3.1.1. General
Read the health and safety warnings in section 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 supplier are not met.
2. Use the mounting hardware delivered by the manufacturer only. 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!
3. The unit is considerably heavy. Ensure that a suitable mounting surface is used.
Ensure there is adequate manpower to handle the weight of the system.
4. Due to power dissipation the Remote Unit can reach very high temperatures.
Sufficient airflow for ventilation must be ensured as specified in the individual
mounting procedures.
5. When connecting and mounting the cables (RF, optical, power supply, ...) ensure
no water can penetrate into the unit through these cables.
6. Also observe all additional rules or restrictions regarding mounting that depend on
the type of Remote Unit. For details refer to section 7.2.2 Mechanical
Specification. Install the unit vertically with the fan unit at the top. A maximum tilt

3.2. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
3.2.1. General
Read the health and safety warnings in section 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. Ground the unit before connecting power supply. A grounding bolt is provided on
the cabinet to connect the ground-bonding cable.
3. Although the Remote Unit is internally protected against overvoltage, 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 overcurrent 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. Use an appropriate torque wrench for the coupling torque (25 N-m / 19 ft lb) of
7-16 DIN connectors with 1-1/4 in opening to tighten the 7/16-type antenna
connectors. For example, use torque wrench of item no. 244377 available from
the Andrew e-catalog. Do NOT use your hands or any other tool (e.g. a pair of
pliers)! This might cause damage to the connector and lead to a malfunction of
the Remote Unit.
11. Use a voltage limiting device for unstabilized electric networks that frequently
generate spikes.
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
overcurrent.
13. Observe the labels on the front panels before connecting or disconnecting any
cables.

figure 3-8 Grounding bolt figure 3-9 Grounding bolt, schematic view
After loosening the hex nut, connect the earth-bonding cable between the two
washers as illustrated in the figures above. Then, fasten all parts again with the hex
nut.
3.3. CONNECTION OF THE ANTENNA CABLES
The Remote Unit has 7/16-type antenna connectors. Please refer to section 3.2.2
Connections for its location. Refer to the corresponding documentation of the
connector manufacturer for mounting the cable connectors.
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.
Use an appropriate torque wrench for the coupling torque (25 N-m / 19 ft
lb) of 7-16 DIN connectors with 1-1/4 in opening to tighten the 7/16-type
antenna connectors. For example, use torque wrench of item no. 244377
available from the Andrew e-catalog. Do NOT use your hands or any
other tool (e.g. a pair of pliers)! This might cause damage to the
connector and lead to a malfunction of the Remote Unit.
Page 21 Manual ION-M7P-7P-85P-19P
MF0145A4A.doc
To minimize passive inter-modulation (PIM) distortion, attention has to
be paid to the physical condition of the connector junctions. Do not use
connectors that show signs of corrosion on the metal surface. Prevent
the ingress of water into the connector. Attach and torque the
connectors properly.
3.4. POWER CONNECTION
Before connecting electrical power to the units, the system must be grounded as
described in the previous section.
Mains power must be connected at the power supply connector of the unit (see
section 3.2.2 Connections).
The power supply plug is part of the delivery. The correct wiring of the power supply
plug is as follows:
Page 22 Manual ION-M7P-7P-85P-19P
MF0145A4A.doc
figure 3-10 AC power supply plug
For the AC power supply connection, a minimum cross section of 1.5
mm2 is required. Each wire must observe the applicable national
regulations regarding loop impedance, voltage drop, and methods of
installation. Make sure to connect the correct voltage to the unit.
Note: Do not connect or disconnect the power cord at the power supply
connector while power is on. Turn off mains power * before
connecting the power cord at the Remote Unit, then, engage mains
power again.
* Mains power must be interruptible with an external power supply breaker. For the power supply
breaker, observe the following recommendation:
120 Volt / 20 Amp max. or 240 Volt / 16 Amp, single-phase, 50 / 60 Hz AC service is needed, i.e.
the external AC breaker should be 20 Amps max. for 120-Volt service or 16 Amps for 240-Volt
service.
For the DC power supply, observe the local regulations of the DC service provider.

3.5. OPTICAL-FIBER-CABLE CONNECTION - RULES
Main optical system parameters:
Fiber:
Single mode fiber, type is E9/125 µm
Attenuation: <0.36 dB / km @ 1310 nm / <0.26 dB / km @ 1550 nm
Dispersion: <3.5 ps / nm km @ 1310 nm / <18.0 ps / nm km @ 1550 nm
Fibre-cable connectors E2000APC8°
ION-M system:
The specified bending radius (< 4 cm) of the optical fibers must not be
exceeded.
The pigtails for the connection between Master Unit and Remote Unit must
have a sufficient length. A protection for the feeding into units must be given.
The system attenuation of the optical fibers, including the connectors, must
not exceed 10 dB.
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 fiber, at the input and
output of the device which has to be measured.
Fiber-System Installation:
Fiber-cable connectors have to be of the same type (E2000APC8°) as the
connectors used for the unit. The fiber-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 fiber cables, follow the procedure below to ensure optimized
performance. It is important for these procedures to be carried out with care:
Remove fiber-optic protective caps.
Do not bend the fiber-optic cable in a tight radius (< 4 cm) as this may cause
cable damage and interrupt transmission.
Using high-grade alcohol and lint-free cotton cleaning swabs, clean the end of
the fiber-optic cable that will be inserted in the optical connectors on the donor
interface box. Use a fiber end-face inspection tool to scan both, the class fiber
and its surrounding area.
Page 23 Manual ION-M7P-7P-85P-19P
MF0145A4A.doc
Check for dirt on the cladding, chips/pits, dirt on the ferrule, and scratches.
Connect the fiber-optic cables by inserting the cable end into the laser
receptacle and aligning the key (on the cable end) with the keyed slot.
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.
Note: Care should be taken when connecting and disconnecting fiber-
optic cables - use the connector housing to plug or unplug a fiber.
Scratches and dust significantly affect system performance and
may permanently damage the connector. Always use protective
caps on fiber-optic connectors not in use.
Cleaning Procedure for Fiber-Optical Components:
Any contamination in the fiber connection results in additional optical transmission
loss which could cause whole system failure. It is thus recommended that every fiber
connector be inspected and cleaned prior to mating.
The goal is to eliminate any dust or contamination and to provide a clean
environment for the fiber-optic connection.
When you clean fiber components, always complete the following steps carefully:
1. Turn off the ION system (laser sources) before you inspect fiber connectors.
Never look into a fiber while the system lasers are on!
2. Check the connectors or adapters with a fiberscope before cleaning.
3. If the connector is dirty, clean it with a lint-free wipe (dry cleaning).
4. Inspect the connector.
5. If the connector is still dirty, repeat the dry cleaning technique.
6. Inspect the connector.
7. If the connector is still dirty, clean it with 99% isopropyl alcohol (wet cleaning)
followed immediately with a dry clean in order to ensure no residue is left on
the endface.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 until endface is clean.

4. ALARMS
4.1. BITe AND ALARMS
The Built-In Test (BITe) concept comprises the monitoring of the power supplies, the
power amplifiers and the optical interface.
All alarms occurring can be checked via software at the Master Unit.
4.2. HANDLING OF ALARMS
In alarm condition, an alarm message is sent to the Master Controller.
If the reason for the alarm is cleared, the alarm will disappear. Otherwise, i.e. if the
alarm continues, a new alarm message will not be repeated.
A new alarm message will be generated if the alarm is interrupted for at least five
seconds after alarm clearance by the RU.
4.3. ALARM STATUS

4.5. EXTERNAL ALARM INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
G1038Z0 G1038Z0
figure 4-1 Flange connector, 5 poles figure 4-2 Flange connector, 7 poles
The alarm outputs (open collector output 5 V / 1 mA) are normally low. In case of an
alarm they are high active (5 V). They can be used to monitor alarms with an external
alarm indicator.
The +28 V pin (for its location see figure 4-2 Flange connector, 7 poles) is protected
by a 500 mA thermoswitch. In case of exceeding this current between pin 7 and GND
and/or in case of a failure of the VSWR module, the thermoswitch turns into a high-
resistive status. In this case no fuse needs to be replaced. Just wait a few minutes
until the thermoswitch reaches the normal operating temperature again.
Note: The manufacturer / supplier of this system accepts no liability for
damage caused by equipment connected to external outputs or by
effects from such equipment.
As accessory equipment the alarm kit is available to connect external devices to the
external alarm inputs and outputs (for ID No see section 6.3 Spare Parts).
Page 35 Manual ION-M7P-7P-85P-19P
MF0145A4A.doc
With the external alarm inputs it is possible to monitor the status of connected
devices, e.g. a UPS, via software. All alarm inputs are normally high (5 V) without
connection. The polarity (high/ low) can be set via the software at the Master Unit (for
details please see according software manual).
The device to be monitored must be connected so that the alarm contacts will be
closed in case of an alarm (I max = 8 mA). The alarm inputs are potential-free with
common ground.
Subminiature circular connectors series 712 with five and seven contacts, which are
contained in the alarm kit, can be ordered directly from the Binder Connector Group,
the manufacturer, or indirectly from Andrew Solutions (for ID No of the alarm kit see
section 6.3 Spare Parts).
