2 Introduction
Page 15
2. 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.
WDM (Wave Division Multiplex) filters are integrated in the optical modules. For the
UL, a wavelength within 1546 nm – 1550 nm is used. For the DL, a wavelength of
1310 ± 10 nm is used. The maximum output power for the UL and DL is 6.7 mW.
2.2. THE ION-M7P/17HP
The ION-M7P/17HP is a multi-band, multi-operator remote unit configuration used in
conjunction with a master unit in the ION optical distribution system.
This system transports up to two frequency bands simultaneously (700 MHz and
1700/2100 MHz), providing a cost-effective solution for distributing capacity from one
or more base stations.
The ION system transports signals on the RF layer in a very cost-effective manner
enabling multiple operators to use multiple technologies and move their signals
simultaneously from a cluster of base station to a number of remote locations over
the same fiber.
The ION-M optical distribution system is a cost-effective coverage solution for dense
urban areas, tunnels, subways, airports, convention centers, high-rise buildings and
other locations where physical structures increase path loss.
The combination of these units gives maximum flexibility while providing a scalable
solution. The system is optimized for CDMA, WCDMA, HSPA+ and OFDM
modulation in the 700 MHz and 1700/2100 MHz bands. Furthermore it is provisioned
for future modulation and frequency bands.
User’s Manual for ION®--M7P/17HP (M-cab)
& Sub-Assemblies
Page 16 MF0145AQA.doc
The ION can be easily set-up and supervised from a graphical user interface (GUI).
Remote units are commissioned through the use of built-in test equipment. An auto
levelling function compensates for the optical link loss making installation easy and
quick.
The entire system can be monitored remotely by the 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.

4. COMMISSIONING
4.1. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
4.1.1. General
Read the health and safety warnings in section 1.2 Health and Safety Warnings.
It is the responsibility of the installer to verify that the supporting surface will safely
support the combined load of the electronic equipment and all attached hardware
and components and to ensure that the unit is safely and securely mounted.
WARNING: IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN LEAD TO EQUIPMENT FALLING
CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT. The
installer must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load
of the electronic equipment and all attached hardware and components. The screws
and dowels (wall anchors) used should also be appropriate for the structure of the
supporting wall.
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. It is recommended to use the mounting hardware delivered by the supplier
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. Make sure 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 may reach a very high
temperature. Ensure sufficient airflow for ventilation.
5. When connecting and mounting the cables (RF, optical, mains, ...) ensure
that 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 angle of 25° from a vertical position must be kept, as in
the following illustrations:
User’s Manual for ION®--M7P/17HP (M-cab)
& Sub-Assemblies
Page 20 MF0145AQA.doc
7. A spacing of 40 mm (1.58 inch) around the unit is required.
8. To ensure sufficient airflow when mounting the unit in enclosed spaces, two
lid openings (one for the air inlet and the other for the air outlet) have to be
provided. Do not block these air inlets and outlets when mounting the

4.2. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
4.2.1. 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 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. Use an appropriate torque wrench for the coupling torque of N-type connectors
(2 N-m / 20 in lb), with 13/16 inch opening to tighten the N-type antenna
connectors. For example, use torque wrench of item no. 244379 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.

The power supply plug is part of the delivery. The correct wiring of the power supply
plug is as follows:
User’s Manual for ION®--M7P/17HP (M-cab)
& Sub-Assemblies
Page 28 MF0145AQA.doc
figure 4-8 AC mains 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 mains connector
while power is on. Turn off mains power * before connecting the
power cord at the Remote Unit, then, engage mains again.
* Mains power must be interruptible with an external mains breaker. For the mains 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.
4.3. CONNECTION OF THE ANTENNA CABLES
The Remote Unit has N-type antenna connectors. Please refer to section 4.2.2
Connections for its location. Refer to the corresponding documentation of the
connector manufacturer for mounting the cable connectors.
The bending radius of the antenna cables must remain within the given
specifications.
Consider the type of cable best suited for the antenna. Remember that a cable with
higher loss is less expensive but impairs performance.
4 Commissioning
Page 29 MF0145AQA.doc
Use an appropriate torque wrench for the coupling torque of N-type
connectors (2 N-m / 20 in lb), with 13/16 in opening to tighten the N-type
antenna connectors. For example, use torque wrench of item no. 244379
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.
Note: Directly connect the base station signal to the Master Unit using a
coaxial cable to avoid coupling another signal into the system in the
DL direction than the single wanted signal transmitted by the base
station.
4.4. 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 E2000 APC 8°
ION-M system:
The pigtails for the connection between Master Unit and Remote Unit must
have a sufficient length. Protection for the optical fibers must be provided
where the fibers feed into the units.
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 (E2000 APC 8°) 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.
User’s Manual for ION®--M7P/17HP (M-cab)
& Sub-Assemblies
Page 30 MF0145AQA.doc
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.
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.
4 Commissioning
Page 31 MF0145AQA.doc
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.

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 5-2 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 the exact ID No., please refer to section 7.3
Spare Parts.
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,
