Table 4-1: Tools and Meter
4.2 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
After removal from the shipping container, examine the components and installation items
for broken, damaged, loose, or missing parts. If any are noted, contact Harris
representative immediately to discuss and arrange for the return of the equipment for
replacement. Any unauthorized attempts to repair or modify this equipment will void the
warranty and could create a safety hazard.
Carefully unpack the equipment and examine each item. If there is any damage to the equipment, contact
the carrier immediately and have their representative verify the damage. If you fail to report the shipping
damage immediately, you may forfeit any claim against the carrier.
When unpacking the equipment, check the contents against the packing list. Contact your Harris
representative and the carrier if any discrepancies are noted. Carefully open each rack and inspect the
contents to ensure the enclosed equipment has not been damaged during delivery. If damage has
occurred, note details of the damage and, if necessary, contact the carrier immediately and have their
representative verify the damage. Contact your Harris representative if the damage is such that
installation cannot proceed.
4.3 GROUNDING THE EQUIPMENT
Ensure all equipment and facilities meet the requirements for grounding and lightning protection. Site
Grounding and Lightning Protection Guidelines manual AE/LZT 123 4618/1 provides proper grounding
procedures. These guidelines must be observed in order to protect the equipment and service personnel
from lightning and other sources of electrical surges.
Each 19” rack mounted assembly typically has a grounding point identified on the assembly. Use this
location to ground each sub-assembly to the cabinet or rack ground bus bar. Properly ground the bus bar
to the building or room’s ground system.
Transmission lines, telephone equipment, HVAC equipment, door frames, and any other metallic objects
located in and around the facility must be properly grounded per the site grounding manual.
CAUTION
14222-5000-3000
21
4.3.1 Surge Protection Devices (SPDs)
All RF transmission lines and surge protection devices (SPDs) should be grounded in accordance with
procedures presented in Site Grounding and Lightning Protection Guidelines manual
AE/LZT 123 4618/1. PolyPhaser® or similar SPD devices are required for all RF, phone, or on-site
control lines entering the building from external sources. For GPS antenna installation, Harris
recommend using a GPS surge arrestor, part number HD-TM1M-02, inline with each GPS antenna.
4.4 INSTALLING THE EQUIPMENT
The HDT300 is designed to be installed in a 19-inch rack or cabinet. A ground bus bar should be utilized
to minimize ground loops and the potential for electrical surges, such as lightning, from traveling through
the equipment while dissipating to the grounding system.
Carefully pre-plan the rackup, locating the fan shelf directly under each transceiver shelf, and ensuring
adequate air flow above and below the rackup. It is also recommended to install the modules after the
shelf is fully installed, the grounding bus bar system is fully installed and the bus bar is properly grounded
to the site grounding system.
Additionally, it may be beneficial to begin installing equipment from the bottom of the rack or cabinet
and building up the rail. It is recommended to follow the steps shown in the following sub-sections when
installing equipment.
The first transceiver and fan shelf installation supports the first four (4) RF channels. For sites with five
(5) or more RF channels, multiple transceiver and fan shelf installations are preformed. Typically, two
(2) individual rackups consisting of a transceiver shelf, fan shelf, and EIB may be installed per the
average tall rack or cabinet (supporting RF channels 1 through 8). For RF channels 9 through 16, a
second cabinet or rack is typically required.
4.4.1 Installing the Fan Shelf
1. Determine the installation location
along the rails and if required, install
screw clips in the two (2) screw
locations.
2. Install screws in the two (2) mounting
locations.
3. Install a ground wire from the fan shelf
rear panel to the ground bus bar.
For best performance, equipment
ground wires should be constructed
using UL-listed compression-type
connectors and 14-gauge or larger
stranded ground wire. Always use
gradual bends in the wire (no sharp
angles).
4. Set DIP Switch S3 for the proper shelf
identity per the following instructions:
DIP Switch S3 is used to associate the fan shelf to the corresponding transceiver shelf. The DIP switch
settings are described in Table 4-2. Section S3-3 is the Least Significant Bit (LSB) and S3-4 is the Most
Significant Bit (MSB). Fan shelves 1 through 4 are assigned Logic 0 through 3, respectively.

gradual bends in the wire (no sharp angles).
4. Set DIP Switch SW1 for the proper shelf
identity per the following instructions:
DIP Switch SW1 is used to identify the transceiver shelf to the BSCU. The DIP switch settings are
described in Table 4-3. Transceiver Shelves 1 through 4 are assigned Logic 0 through 3, respectively,
using SW1-1 and SW1-3. Section SW1-1 is the Least Significant Bit (LSB) and SW1-3 the Most
Significant Bit (MSB). . Sections SW1-2 and SW1-4 are not used.

4.6 INSTALLING MODULES
WARNING
Some components of the power system carry hazardous voltage in operation.
Direct or indirect contact through moist objects with these components will result
in fatal injury.
WARNING
Make sure all AC input power is turned off to the equipment and the power switch
on each PSU is set to the Off position before installing the PSU modules.
The ESD symbol calls attention to procedures, practices, or the like, which could
expose equipment to the effects of Electro-Static Discharge. Proper precautions must be
taken to prevent ESD when handling circuit boards or modules.
Cabinets and racks may be pre-racked and tested in a shop or staging environment; however, the
Momentum modules and fan drawers must be removed from the shelves before transporting the rackup.
This will prevent damage to the shelf units and modules.
CAUTION
DO NOT transport a pre-assembled rackup without first removing the modules and fans
from the shelf assemblies. The weight of the installed modules and fan drawers can
potentially damage the shelf assemblies during transport.
1. Install the modules into the shelf slots as shown in Figure 4-5 per the following instructions:
a. Loosen the two ejectors by pressing the red locking mechanism to release the ejectors (refer to
Figure 4-3).
Figure 4-3: Loosening the Ejector
b. Slide the BSCU along the guide rails smoothly as shown in Figure 4-4.
c. Re-latch the ejectors after the module is fully inserted into the card cage.
d. Tighten the screw located within each ejector.
e. Tighten the screw on the top and bottom-right corners of each module as shown in Figure 4-4.

4.7 FRONT PANEL CONNECTIONS
4.7.1 RF Antenna Connections
The CHU modules include RF connections for the RX and TX antennas. Cables for each connection are
customer supplied and must be high grade, low loss cables. Cable lengths should be kept as short as
possible to minimize cable loss; however, it may be desirable to use the same type cable for each similar
connection and similar lengths to minimize imbalances between channels during operation.
4.7.2 GPS Receiver Antenna Connections
The GPS receiver input on each BSCU module is a non-powered antenna connection. A GPS antenna,
part number HD-TM1M-01, is available and may be ordered through the Harris representative for the
HDT300 system. A GPS antenna surge arrestor, part number HD-TM1M-02, should be installed along
with each GPS antenna. If both BSCU modules are installed, the GPS antenna inputs may be connected
to separate GPS antennas (desired method, antennas not supplied) or connected to a common GPS
antenna using a customer supplied power splitter/multicoupler.
Follow all manufacturers’ instructions for installing and connecting the GPS antenna to the BSCU. Cable
lengths should be kept as short as possible to minimize cable loss. Any recommended maximum antenna
cable lengths should be observed. For installations requiring longer than recommended cable lengths, an
amplified antenna system is recommended or use an inline RF antenna amplifier designed specifically for
GPS antenna systems.
4.7.3 Additional front panel connections
Additional front panel connections for RS232 and other ports are used during setup and configuration and
out of the scope of this manual.
