2 Introduction
Page 13
2. INTRODUCTION
2.1. PURPOSE
Cellular telephone systems transmit signals in two directions between a 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 6.7 mW.
2.2. THE ION-M7P/80-85HP/9 (INTELLIGENT OPTICAL NETWORK; MMR)
The ION-M7P/80-85HP/9 isi a multi-band, multi-operator Remote Unit. It is used in
conjunction with a Master Unit in the ION optical distribution system.
The ION-M7P/80-85HP/9 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 along side structures
in such a way that it has a minimal visual impact.

User’s Manual for
ION®-M7P/80-85HP/9 (W2-Cabinet)
Page 14 Manual ION-M7P_80-85HP_9
MF0145APA.doc
The ION-M7P/80-85HP/9 has been specifically tested and optimized for GMSK,
EDGE, CDMA, WCDMA, and LTE modulation in the 700 MHz, 800/850 MHz, 900
MHz band as well as AMPS, LMR and analogue modulations.
By means of a coupling port AWS (1700/2100) and PCS (1900) provided by a
separate ION-M can be combined with 700 MHZ, 800 MHz, 850 MHz, and 900 MHz
to one antenna port. The Remote Unit is equipped with an extension port to upgrade
the system for supporting AWS/PCS.
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:
Multi-channel, multi-operator support
Efficient, high power amplifiers
Single fiber for MIMO and multiple remotes
Comprehensive operations and management system for configuration and
alarming
OMC with SNMP according to X.733 standard
3GPP TS25.143/TS25.106/ TS36.143/TS36.106 and 3GPP2C.S0051-0
compliant
Single fiber for multiple bands and multiple remotes

3. COMMISSIONING
3.1. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
3.1.1. General
Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.2 Health and Safety Warnings .
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 only to use the mounting hardware delivered by the
supplier. 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 as specified in the
individual mounting procedures.
5. When connecting and mounting the cables (RF, optical, mains, ...) 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 chapter 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:
![](/img.php?id=2118935&img=bg10.png)
User’s Manual for
ION®-M7P/80-85HP/9 (W2-Cabinet)
Page 16 Manual ION-M7P_80-85HP_9
MF0145APA.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
Remote Unit. The size of each opening must equal at least 17 x 17 cm
(290 cm2). Make sure, too, there is no thermal short circuit between the air
inlet and air outlet.
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.
Specified torques have to be observed for certain mounting procedures according to
the following table:
Type Tallow-drop

3.2. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
3.2.1. General
Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.2.
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. 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 strongly 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 branch circuit breaker and an overcurrent limiting
device are connected between mains and Remote Unit.
7. An external circuit breaker is mandatory as disconnect device. This circuit breaker
should be readily available for the operator.
For the U.S. and Canada, installation has to be done in accordance with the NEC
(National Electronic Code). The external circuit breaker has to be a branch circuit
breaker rated 20 A for 110 Vac mains.
8. A field wiring box with conduit must be used for the installation. Use a wire
harness rated for AC mains with at least AWG14 size.
9. A connection of mains supply to a power socket requires the power socket to be
nearby the Remote Unit.
10. Incorrectly wired connections can destroy electrical and electronic components.
11. 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).
12. Use an appropriate torque wrench for the coupling torque (25 N-m / 19 ft lb) of
7/16-DIN connectors with 1 ¼-inch 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.

To prevent damaging the connectors of the extension port, align the plug end
of the connector properly before inserting. Do not twist the connector. When
the connector is in place, tighten the screws in a clockwise direction. Particular
attention must be paid plugging this connector to maintain the ingress
protection class of the Remote Unit.
3.2.5. Connection of the Antenna Cables
The Remote Unit has 7/16-type antenna connectors. For its location please refer to
chapter 3.2.2 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.
Use an appropriate torque wrench to tighten the 7/16 DIN-type (1 ¼ -inch
opening) antenna connectors to a coupling torque of 25 N-m / 19 ft lb. Torque
wrench item no. 244377, available from the CommScope e-catalog, is
recommended. 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 or increased PIM.

3.2.6. Power Connection
Before connecting electrical power to the units, the system must be grounded as
described in the previous chapter.
Mains power must be connected at the mains connectors of the unit (see chapter
3.2.2 Connections).
The power supply plug is part of the delivery. The correct wiring of the 4-pin AC
mains connector is as follows:
Pin Description
1 Phase (brown)
2 Neutral (blue)
3 n.c.
4 PE (green/yellow)
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.
With the mains power turned off, the power supply plug must be connected to the
remote unit’s Mains connector. The Mains connector’s arrow tip and the power
supply plug’s arrow tip must point to each other as shown in the figure unterhalb.

3.3. OPTICAL-FIBRE-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 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.
Check for dirt on the cladding, chips/pits, dirt on the ferrule, and scratches.
![](/img.php?id=2118935&img=bg18.png)
User’s Manual for
ION®-M7P/80-85HP/9 (W2-Cabinet)
Page 24 Manual ION-M7P_80-85HP_9
MF0145APA.doc
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.

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 specified
to 28 VDC/1A and is protected by a 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 designation, please refer to chapter
6.3 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,
the manufacturer, or indirectly from CommScope. For the designation of the alarm kit

5. MAINTENANCE
5.1. GENERAL
Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.2.
Note: The Remote Unit does not require preventative maintenance
measures.
Note: To prevent malfunctions of the cooling system due to dirt or
pollution, it is recommended to clean the heat sink at regular
intervals. These cleaning intervals depend mainly on the location
of the Remote Unit and the corresponding degree of pollution.
Maintenance of the ION-M7P/80-85HP/9 should be performed by replacing only
components that are contained in this chapter. In order to maintain warranty, take
care not to damage unintentionally the seals on the modules.
The spare parts list, consequently, contains only units which can be replaced without
tuning or soldering work.
Note: When sending back the unit, use an appropriate packaging, see
chapter 6.2.2 Mechanical Specifications. We strongly recommend
using the original packaging!
Note: Defect parts should only be replaced by original parts from the
supplier. All interventions inside the housing are at one’s own risk.
Note: During maintenance ensure the Remote Unit has been
disconnected from mains.
Note: Before disconnecting any cables, label any unlabelled cables to
ensure correct connection.
For most maintenance procedures appropriate tools are required to ensure correct
handling. All these tools can be ordered from the supplier. For screwing procedures
observe that all our screws have a right-hand thread, i.e. for fastening the screws
turn the tool clockwise and for unscrewing them turn it counter-clockwise.
Due to the design of the Remote Unit the only component recommended to be
replaced is the fan unit. For replacing any other component, please contact the
supplier.
