Simulcast Hardware Installation Equipment Inspection and Inventory Equipment Inspection and Inventory Motorola recommends that an inventory of all equipment is taken with a Motorola representative to ensure that the order is complete. Carefully inspect all equipment and accessories to verify they arrived in good condition. Promptly report any damaged or missing items to a Motorola representative. Placement Recommendations The following are recommendations for placing equipment at a site: • Secure each rack on a firm, and level floor. • Use the correct mounting hardware to prevent rack movement. • Use strain relief when installing and positioning cables and cords to help ensure that no interruption of service occurs. • Allow at least 1 m (3 ft.) of space at the front and rear of the system to allow for proper air flow, cooling, and safe access to equipment. The system components require an ambient air temperature of 0º C to 50º C (32º to 122º F). • Locate the site racks and other equipment with enough spacing to allow access for service. Service personnel require access to both the front and rear of the racks. • Locate the system in an area that is free of dust, smoke, and electrostatic discharge (ESD). • Ground the racks according to the Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites (68P81089E50). Spacing Requirements Proper spacing of equipment is essential for ready access to equipment, ease of maintenance, and safety of personnel. Spacing requirements have been established to meet the National Fire Protection Associations (NFPA) Code, and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) standards. Also, adhere to any local regulations that apply to spacing requirements. See the Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites (68P81089E50) for details on these space requirements. Weight Distribution Within a Rack To avoid hazards or damage from uneven loading of a rack, distribute the weight of equipment evenly in the rack, and consider the limitations of equipment and cables. When possible, mount the heaviest components in the bottom of the rack. 68P81003Y71-O November 2002 2-9 Rack Requirements Chapter 2: Installing the Simulcast Subsystem Hardware Rack Requirements Most communications equipment is installed in a standard 48.26 cm (19-in.) EIA rack or enclosed cabinet. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions when installing racks or cabinets, and installing equipment into the rack or cabinet. Use all supplied bracing hardware when installing a rack or cabinet and secure all equipment within a rack or cabinet. If additional equipment needs to be installed, refer to the system design document provided by the Field Engineer or consult the Motorola Field Representative. Bonding and Grounding Cabinets and equpment racks include a rack grounding bar (RGB) with the capacity to terminate numerous solid or stranded 6 AWG copper ground wires, which are associated with internal metallic or fiber optic cables and external grounding to power company equipment. You must ground all doors of a metal cabinet by bonding the door to the main cabinet using a 6 AWG (minimum) copper wire. The RGB is shipped with dual-hole lugs to terminate 2 AWG ground wires. The minimum number of dual-hole attachments is system dependent and is specified by the customer. This bar provides electrical continuity between all bonds and ground wire with a current carrying capacity equal to or exceeding that of a 6 AWG copper wire. See the Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites (68P81089E50) for more information on proper bonding and ground at a site. Power Requirements The Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites (68P81089E50) defines the guidelines and requirements for cabinets, which house equipment that requires AC power input. Some of the guidelines and requirements are as follows: 2-10 • The cabinet is designed to accept 120/240 V, single-phase power with an amperage service as required by the electronic equipment. • Cabinets serviced by commercial power must be equipped with a nationally recognized test laboratory (NRTL) certified power distribution panel that contains a main circuit breaker or individual circuit breakers of the correct size as required for the electronic equipment or specified by the customer. • A decal showing an electrical schematic of the power wiring must be affixed to the inside surface of the cabinet. • All AC power equipment and electrical components must conform to National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and National Electrical Code (NEC). These must also be listed by an NRTL. 68P81003Y71-O November 2002 Simulcast Hardware Installation Antenna Requirements • A surge protector, designed to protect equipment systems from surges at a 120/240 V service and load center, must be placed on the power feed ahead of all individual load center circuit breakers. This protector must be listed by an NRTL for the purpose intended. • Selection of a surge protector is based on the susceptibility of the equipment powered by the electrical service, with margin provided for locally generated disturbances. See ANSI/IEEE C62.41 for more details. • At least one 120 VAC, 15 A duplex convenience outlet equipped with ground fault interrupter (GFI) protection must be provided in the electronic equipment compartment. Table 2-2 lists the required wire gauges for various installations. The “loop length” refers to the combined length of the -48 VDC (hot) lead and the DC return lead. For example, a cabinet installation that needs 16 feet of wire to reach the power supply rack has a total loop length of 32 feet. For a standard installation, the equipment cabinet is located adjacent to the power supply rack with a cable loop length less than 10.6 m (35 ft.). Wire used for the cabinet power connection to the breaker panel shall not be less than 6 AWG. Total cable loop (from the power supply rack breakers to the STR 3000 cabinet) voltage drop shall not exceed 500 mV for the cabling of the -48 VDC (hot) lead and the DC return leads. Some sites may require larger sizes than those noted in Table 2-2 to meet local codes. When larger cable is used to run from a power source, the cable shall be “tapped down” to a smaller size for connection to the STR 3000 breaker panel. In accordance with local code requirements, a properly sized electrical box mounted on top of the STR 3000 rack cabinet or commercial tap cover is the point where the cable size transition should take place. The site planner will specify the details of the transition. When a “tapped down” connection is used, the total voltage drop between the “tapped down” section and the main loop should not exceed 500 mV. The screws that connect the power cables to the power supply rack are not provided and must be locally procured. Power supply rack breaker panel screw size is 3/8-16 x 3/4. Table 2-2 Power Connection Wire Gauge Loop Length Wire Gauge Maximum Outer Diameter of Cable 15.3 m (50 ft.) or less 6 AWG 10.2 mm (0.40 in.) 15.3 to 24.4 m (50 to 80 ft.) 4 AWG 10.2 mm (0.40 in.) 24.4 to 36.6 m (80 to 120 ft.) 2 AWG 10.2 mm (0.40 in.) Antenna Requirements All antenna feed line installations are to be made through a metal antenna entry plate that is external to the site building. See the Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites (68P81089E50) for details on the requirements for antenna feed lines. RF Antenna at the Co-Located Site The RF antenna provides a link between the prime and remote sites without introducing overload, desensitivity, and intermodulation at a co-located site. You may need to install a fixed attenuator to the antenna feed line at the site. The values for these attenuators can vary from site to site. 68P81003Y71-O November 2002 2-11 Transmit Antenna on the STR 3000 Simulcast Base Radio Rack Chapter 2: Installing the Simulcast Subsystem Hardware Transmit Antenna on the STR 3000 Simulcast Base Radio Rack One transmit cavity combiner can support up to 12 base radios per transmit antenna. It is possible to combine the base radios into as few as two cabinets, if they are adjacent. To increase system reliability and eliminate a single point of failure, use a minimum of two transmit antennas per site. GPS Requirements A simulcast subsystem uses two Global Positioning System (GPS) antennas to provide a certain degree of redundancy in case one antenna is damaged or inadvertently shadowing. Mount the two antennas at least 3.05 m (10 ft.) apart with an unrestricted aerial view down to within 10˚ of the horizon in all directions. The antennas must also be mounted high enough to clear the peak of the site roof. Defining the Correct View for the Location The hemispheric location of the site also affects installation of the GPS antennas. For systems in the northern hemisphere, mount the antennas to maintain a clear view of the southern sky. For systems in the southern hemisphere, mount the antennas to maintain a clear view of the northern sky. Avoiding Obstructions Be careful to avoid adjacent structures (such as trees and buildings), which can obstruct the GPS antennas with their wide and solid profiles. Mount the antennas to clear these types of obstructions. However, an adjacent antenna tower that protrudes into the required view at a prime or remote site does not obstruct the view and only has a minimal effect on reception from the GPS satellite. Isolate the GPS antennas from any RF interference by mounting the antennas at least 12˚ horizontally from other transmitting antennas. GPS Antenna Line Loss The maximum allowable line attenuation between the antenna and the TRAK 9100 GPS receiver is 10 dB. This 10 dB figure includes a 4 dB margin for attenuation from foliage. So, in an installation in which there is interference from foliage, allow for 6 dB line loss and 4 dB foliage attenuation. Installations in which the antenna has an unobstructed view of the sky may have a maximum line attenuation of 10 dB. In a typical installation using 0.5-in. low density foam coaxial cable, the length of the cable run should never exceed 45.72 m (150 ft.). This is sufficient for most installations. When considering the use of larger cables, calculate the cable lengths allowing 4.5 dB of loss at 1.5 GHz. The remaining 1.5 dB of attenuation is provided by interior site cabling and connectors. For more information on installation of the GPS antenna, see "Installing the Global Positioning Satellite Antenna" on page 3-26. 2-12 68P81003Y71-O November 2002 Simulcast Hardware Installation Environmental Requirements Environmental Requirements One of the major considerations in designing a site is how to maintain an environment in which the equipment can operate efficiently. A properly designed heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system provides the proper environmental conditions for the communications equipment. Each manufacturer specifies an operating or ambient temperature for their equipment. These two terms for temperature are defined: • Operating temperature refers to the temperature within the equipment case with the equipment operating at a given capacity or load. • Ambient temperature refers to the environmental temperature as typically measured 152 cm (5 ft.) above the floor in the center of an adjacent aisle. For the specific environmental requirements for the equipment in a simulcast subsystem, see: • Chapter 3,"Installing the Prime Site (10Base-2)." • Chapter 4,"Installing the Prime Site (10Base-T)." • Chapter 5,"Installing the Digital Simulcast Remote Site (10Base-2)." • Chapter 6,"Installing the Digital Simulcast Remote Site (10Base-T)." Expansion Considerations Expansion cabinets or racks allow equipment to be added to a site. Each type of equipment has its own specific cabinet or rack for installing additional devices. For example, install an expansion rack to add STR 3000 Simulcast Base Radios to a site in the digital simulcast subsystem. Each expansion cabinet or rack has its own requirements for installation. Detailed information for expansions appear in "Installing the Expansion Cabinets" on page 5-10 and "Installing the Expansion Cabinets" on page 6-11. Electrostatic Discharge Electronic components, such as circuit boards and memory modules, can be extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Motorola recommends that an antistatic wrist strap and a conductive foam pad be used when installing or upgrading the system. If an ESD station is not available, wear an antistatic wrist strap. Wrap the strap around the wrist and attach the ground end (usually a piece of copper foil or an alligator clip) to an electrical ground. An electrical ground can be a piece of metal that literally runs into the ground (such as an unpainted metal pipe) or the metal part of a grounded electrical appliance. An appliance is grounded if it has a three-prong plug and is plugged into a three-prong grounded outlet. 68P81003Y71-O November 2002 2-13 FCC Requirements Chapter 2: Installing the Simulcast Subsystem Hardware Do not use a computer as a ground, because it is not plugged in during installation. FCC Requirements Radio frequency (RF) transmitters installed at sites within the United States must be in compliance with the following FCC regulations: • Only persons holding a general class commercial radio telephone operator’s license or non-licensed persons working under the immediate supervision of licensed operators can make adjustments to radio transmitters. • The power input to the final RF stage shall not exceed the maximum power specified on the current station authorization. • The frequency of the transmitter must be checked during initial installation of the transmitter, when replacing modules, or when making adjustments that affect the carrier frequency or modulation characteristics. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed properly and used in accordance with the instruction manuals, the equipment may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user is required to correct the interference. Electromagnetic Safety Requirements This section describes information you need to know about working near electromagnetic energy. 2-14 68P81003Y71-O November 2002 Simulcast Hardware Installation OSHA Related Safety Requirements OSHA Related Safety Requirements The United States Department of Labor, through the provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) of 1970, has established an electromagnetic energy safety standard that applies to the use of this equipment. Proper use of this equipment will result in exposure below the OSHA limit. Human Exposure Compliance for RF Energy STR 3000 Simulcast Base Radios are designed to generate and radiate RF energy by means of an external antenna. When terminated into a non-radiating RF load, the base radio equipment is certified to comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations pertaining to human exposure of RF radiation in accordance with the FCC Rules Part 1 section 1.1310 as published in title 47 code of federal regulations and procedures established in TIA/EIA TSB92, Report on EME Evaluation for RF Cabinet Emissions Under FCC MPE Guidelines. Compliance to FCC regulations of the final installation should be assessed and take into account site specific characteristics, such as type and location of antennas, as well as site accessibility of occupational personnel (controlled environment) and general public (uncontrolled environment). This equipment should only be installed and maintained by trained technicians. Licensees of the FCC using this equipment are responsible for ensuring that its installation and operation comply with FCC regulations Part 1 section 1.1310 as published in title 47 code of federal regulations. Whether a given installation meets FCC limits for human exposure to radio frequency radiation may depend not only on this equipment, but also on whether the “environments” being assessed are being affected by radio frequency fields from other equipment, the effects of which may add to the level of exposure. Accordingly, the overall exposure may be affected by radio frequency generating facilities that exist at the time the licensee’s equipment is being installed or even by equipment installed later. Therefore, the effect of any such facilities must be considered in site selection and in determining whether a particular installation meets the FCC requirements. FCC OET Bulletin 65 provides materials to assist in making determinations if a given facility is compliant with the human exposure to RF radiation limits. Determining the compliance of transmitter sites of various complexities may be accomplished by means of computational methods. In general, observe the following guidelines when working in or around radio transmitter sites: 68P81003Y71-O • Ensure that all personnel have electromagnetic energy awareness training. • Ensure that all personnel entering the site are authorized. • Obey all posted signs. • Assume all antennas are active. • Before working on antennas, notify owners and disable appropriate transmitters. • Maintain minimum of 1 m (3 ft.) clearance from all antennas. • Do not stop in front of antennas. • Use personal RF monitors while working near antennas. • Never operate transmitters without shields during normal operation. • Do not operate base station antennas in equipment rooms. November 2002 2-15 Installing the STR 3000 Base Radio Rack Chapter 5: Installing the Digital Simulcast Remote Site (10Base-2) Installing the STR 3000 Base Radio Rack The STR 3000 Base Radio rack contains the RF channels and related components for a simulcast remote site. The cables shipped with your system were sized for a specific racking configuration. Swapping equipment within racks or from one rack to another can put excessive strain on cables and cause cable failures. Do not install additional equipment or devices into the rack as this may have a negative effect on the thermal performance of the equipment and result in reduced safety or reliability. Overview of the STR 3000 Base Radio Rack The STR 3000 Base Radio is the RF portion of the 800 MHz, digital-only, simulcast remote site infrastructure. The STR 3000 rack includes from one to six base radios, multicouplers, combiner, isolator, junction panel, circuit breaker panel, and cabling in a single rack. This rack provides the transmit and receive capabilities for the remote site. The STR 3000 rack forwards digital voice and control packets from the comparator to the transmitter and forwards digital voice and control packets from the receiver to the comparator. Figure 5-2 shows the STR 3000 Base Radio rack with four base radios. 5-4 68P81003Y71-O November 2002 Simulcast Hardware Installation Figure 5-2 STR 3000 Rack Modules STR 3000 Base Radio Rack with Four Base Radios STR 3000 Rack Modules Table 5-1 lists the hardware modules that comprise the STR 3000 rack. 68P81003Y71-O November 2002 5-5 Base Radio Modules Table 5-1 Chapter 5: Installing the Digital Simulcast Remote Site (10Base-2) STR 3000 Rack Modules Module Description Breaker panel Provides on/off control and electrical overload protection to each module within the cabinet. Cavity combiner Acts as a band-pass filter, combines two to six transmit signals and places them on a single antenna port. The minimum channel spacing of the cavity combiner is 150 kHz. Triple isolator Allows RF to pass from the power amplifier to the combiner and antenna while redirecting any reflected energy from the antenna system away from the power amp and into a 50 ohm load. Receive multicoupler (RMC) Supplies a port that takes the signal from the RX antenna and distributes the appropriate information to each base radio in its rack. Base radio Handles the transmit and receive functions for the rack through separate modules. The cavity combiner, triple-through isolator, and receive multicoupler comprise the Radio Frequency Distribution System (RFDS). Base Radio Modules The base radio consists of different modules that handle the transmit and receive functions for the rack. Table 5-2 lists these modules. Table 5-2 Base Radio Modules Module Description -48 VDC power supply Converts the -48 VDC input to the voltages required by the other base radio modules. Exciter Provides the transmitter and modulation functions for the base radio in conjunction with the power amplifier. Power amplifier (PA) Provides the transmitter functions for the base radio in conjunction with the exciter. The PA accepts the low-level modulated RF signal from the exciter and amplifies the signal for transmission via the RF output connector. Base radio controller Provides signal processing and operational control for other base radio modules. Receiver Provides the back end receive function. Figure 5-3 shows the layout for the base radio modules. 5-6 68P81003Y71-O November 2002 Simulcast Hardware Installation Installing the STR 3000 Base Radio Rack Figure 5-3 Layout of the Base Radio Modules Installing the STR 3000 Base Radio Rack The STR 3000 Base Radio Rack is shipped in a cabinet. To install this STR 3000 cabinet, prepare the site and bolt the rack to the floor in the location indicated on the site design drawings. Placement of the Rack Always use two or more persons and appropriate lifting equipment whenever moving an STR 3000 rack. A fully configured rack weighs approximately 360 kg (800 lbs). Death, serious personal injury, or equipment damage can result if the rack tips over. General suggestions for placing the rack are as follows: 68P81003Y71-O • Secure the rack on a firm and level floor. Use the correct mounting hardware to eliminate component movement. • Use strain relief when installing and positioning cables and cords to ensure that no interruption of service occurs. • Locate the STR 3000 cabinet where it can be serviced easily. Service people require access to the front and the rear of the system. • Locate the STR 3000 cabinet in an area that is free of dust, smoke, and debris. • Maintain proper grounding and electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions. November 2002 5-7 Installing the Rack Chapter 5: Installing the Digital Simulcast Remote Site (10Base-2) Maintain proper climate and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) controls. • The base radio and combiner unit weight exceeds 32 kg (70 lbs) and requires two people to lift when removing the unit from the rack. To avoid injury, fully support a unit when it is free from the mounting rails. Installing the Rack Perform Procedure 5-1 to install the STR 3000 rack. Procedure 5-1 How to Install the STR 3000 Rack Place the rack carefully in the designated area where it will be installed at the remote site. See the site plan for the correct location. Bolt the rack to the floor using the correct hardware for the type of installation. See the Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites (68P81089E50) for details on a rack installation. Verify proper grounding of the rack. Check to ensure all of the boards are properly seated in the site controller chassis. Boards may have loosened during shipping. Connect power connections to the STR 3000 rack. See "Connecting Power to the STR 3000 Rack" on page 5-9 for more information. Connecting the STR 3000 Rack to Ground Connect each cabinet frame to the site master ground bar using a single dedicated 2 AWG ground wire. The site ground wire should drop into the top of each cabinet and be connected to the designated grounding stud located at the junction panel at the top rear of the cabinet. Single hole lugs (1.27 cm (0.5-in.) diameter) are used for these grounding connections. Never use a bare or damaged wire for the connection of chassis ground or other electrical wiring to prevent damage to equipment or potential injury to personnel. 5-8 68P81003Y71-O November 2002 Simulcast Hardware Installation Connecting Power to the STR 3000 Rack Do NOT daisy-chain multiple equipment cabinet grounds using a single ground wire. Doing so increases the overall inductance of the ground wire which can distribute surge energy among the cabinets instead of to the master ground bar. See Standards and Guidelines for Communications Sites (68P81089E50) for detailed information on grounding the rack. Connecting Power to the STR 3000 Rack The STR 3000 rack requires a -48 VDC, which is provided by the DC power distribution. Figure 5-4 shows the typical connections for power to the STR 3000 rack. Figure 5-4 Typical Power Connections for the STR 3000 Rack Determining Power Connection Wire Size Wire size recommendations contained herein reflect Motorola engineering requirements for proper system operation. Local regulations should be adhered to and will supersede any other specifications in this manual, where applicable. Do not use wire smaller than 16 mm2 CSA (5 AWG). Cable loop voltage drop must not exceed 500 mV for cabling of the -48 VDC and DC return leads. 68P81003Y71-O November 2002 5-9 Installing the Expansion Cabinets Chapter 5: Installing the Digital Simulcast Remote Site (10Base-2) For a standard installation, the equipment cabinet is located adjacent to the power supply equipment with a cable loop length less than 10.67 m (35 ft.). The “loop length” refers to the combined length of the -48 VDC lead and the DC return lead. For example, a cabinet which needs 4.87 m (16 ft.) of wire between the power supply equipment and equipment cabinets has a total loop length of 9.75 m (32 ft.). Table 5-3 lists the required wire sizes for various installations. Table 5-3 Power Connections Wire Size Loop Length Wire Size 15.2 m (50 ft.) or less 16 mm2 CSA (5 AWG) 15.2 - 24.8 m (50 - 80 ft.) 25 mm2 CSA (4 AWG) 24.8 - 36.6 m (80 - 120 ft.) 35 mm2 CSA (2 AWG) Installing the Expansion Cabinets If an expansion cabinet is required, the expansion cabinet must be located to the right of the prime cabinet (See Figure 5-5). The two cavity combiners are connected to their respective side of the phasing harness. The phasing harness bracket for the transmit combiner is mounted to the expansion rack. The power monitor unit (PMU) is connected to the post filter, which is connected to the top of the phasing harness. 5-10 68P81003Y71-O November 2002 Simulcast Hardware Installation Figure 5-5 68P81003Y71-O November 2002 Installing the Expansion Cabinets Placement of Expansion Cabinets 5-11 Cabling the STR 3000 Base Radio Rack Chapter 5: Installing the Digital Simulcast Remote Site (10Base-2) Cabling the STR 3000 Base Radio Rack The components of the STR 3000 Base Radio rack are shipped as one unit and do not require separate cabling during the initial installation.

Operating Specifications for the Transmitter Table 5-13 lists the operating specifications for a transmitter. 68P81003Y71-O November 2002 5-21 Simulcast Hardware Installation Table 5-18 Installing the TRAK 9100 Simulcast Site Reference Operating Specifications for the Tower Top Amplifier Installing the TRAK 9100 Simulcast Site Reference The TRAK 9100 provides a composite 5 Mpps and 1 pps signal used for timing at a remote site. This section describes how the TRAK 9100 simulcast site reference is installed at a remote site. Overview of the TRAK 9100 Simulcast Site Reference A simulcast system uses signals from the Navstar Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) system to synchronize the audio from multiple transmitters. A GPS receiver needs to receive the 1 pps signal from at least four satellites before it can establish its exact geographical location. The TRAK 9100 uses the satellite signal to derive a high-precision 1 pps signal used in the simulcast system for time launching. By launching signals at exactly the same time from multiple sites, destructive interference of the transmitted signals in overlap areas is minimized. In addition to controlling the launch, the use of GPS allows for variance in delay of the distribution network (T1/E1). The TRAK 9100 simulcast site reference provides 1 pps and 5 Mpps reference signals for the following components at a remote site: • Base radios • Remote site channel bank • Remote site hub Figure 5-9 shows the modules and connections on the front view of the simulcast site reference. 68P81003Y71-O November 2002 5-25 Hardware Modules in the TRAK 9100 Simulcast Site Reference Figure 5-9 Chapter 5: Installing the Digital Simulcast Remote Site (10Base-2) Front View of the TRAK 9100 Simulcast Site Reference Hardware Modules in the TRAK 9100 Simulcast Site Reference Table 5-19 lists the modules that comprise the TRAK 9100 simulcast site reference. Table 5-19 TRAK 9100 Simulcast Site Reference Modules Module Description Antenna See "Installing the GPS Antenna" on page 5-27. GPS Receiver (A1) This module contains a crystal oscillator and generates the 1 pps and 5 Mpps reference signals based on received GPS timing signals. GPS Receiver (A2) A second oscillator is included for redundancy. (Module A2 does not include a front-panel cooling fan like Module A1.) Power Supply Converts AC input to DC voltages used by all other TRAK 9100 modules. Frequency Distribution Module Outputs the 1 pps and 5 Mpps reference signals along with composite signal. Fault Sense Unit Detects system failures and provides control, alarm, and status information. Installing the TRAK 9100 Simulcast Site Reference in the Rack The TRAK 9100 simulcast site reference is installed in an EIA/TIA 19-in. (48.26 cm) rack. 5-26 68P81003Y71-O November 2002 Simulcast Hardware Installation Grounding the Chassis Grounding the Chassis Connect the grounding cable to the ground lug. The ground lug is a screw on the back of the power supply located to the left of the AC power receptacles. Use 6 AWG wire and the appropriate lug connected to chassis ground through to the RGB. Wiring for Power The two AC outlets on the rear of the panel provide power to all of the modules in the TRAK 9100. Installing an Expansion Rack See "Installing TRAK 9200 Simulcast Site Reference for Expansion" on page 5-31. Installing the GPS Antenna The GPS antenna feeds the TRAK 9100 simulcast site reference, which provides a 5 Mpps/1 pps signal (5 Mpps signal at 1 pps repetition rate) to the base radios and other components at the remote site. This signal establishes timing functions for the transmit and receive frequencies for the base radios. Perform Procedure 5-2 to install the GPS antenna. Procedure 5-2 How to Install the GPS Antennas Mount the GPS antenna with an unrestricted aerial down view to within 10˚ of the horizon in all directions. Mount the antennas high enough to clear the peak of the site roof using the following guidelines: • For systems in the northern hemisphere, mount the GPS antennas so that a clear view of the southern sky is maintained. • For systems in the southern hemisphere, mount the GPS antennas so that a clear view of the northern sky is maintained. Isolate the GPS antennas from RF interference by mounting the antennas at a distance of at least 3.66 m (12 ft.) horizontally from the other antennas. Mount the GPS antennas to clear obstructions and provide a clear path. Adjacent structures (such as trees or buildings) are considered obstructions due to their wide and solid profiles. Adjacent antenna towers at the RF site which protrude into the required view (but have a minimal effect on GPS satellite reception due to their narrow, largely open profiles) are not considered obstructions. 68P81003Y71-O November 2002 5-27 GPS Antenna Line Loss Chapter 5: Installing the Digital Simulcast Remote Site (10Base-2) The simulcast system will not operate properly if the GPS receiver is not locked onto at least four GPS satellites. The four satellites are used to establish a three-dimensional fix (latitude, longitude, and altitude) for the site. The TRAK 9100 will free-run for a time period defined by configuration settings. However, after the specified period while still operating without the GPS satellite signals, the simulcast system will not operate. The GPS antennas must be properly positioned, and the cables and connectors must be properly maintained to ensure operation of the simulcast system. If the TRAK 9100 is powered down, the simulcast system will not operate properly until the GPS receiver has locked onto the signals from at least four GPS satellites. This process takes approximately 13 to 25 minutes to complete. GPS Antenna Line Loss Cutting the cable below a recommended minimum length can cause problems with signal strength overload. Refer to Appendix E in the TRAK 9100 Reference book. The maximum allowable line attenuation between the antenna and the TRAK 9100 is 6 dB. This includes a 4 dB margin for attenuation from foliage. Installations in which the antenna has an unobstructed view of the sky may have a maximum line attenuation of 10 dB. In a typical installation using 0.5-in., low density foam coaxial cable, the length of the cable run should never exceed 45.72 m (150 ft). This is sufficient for most installations. When considering the use of larger cables, calculate the cable lengths allowing 4.5 dB of loss at 1.5 GHz. The remaining 1.5 dB of attenuation is provided by interior site cabling and connectors.
