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.

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.
