28 GHz 100 Mbps Internet IFU Installation - R1.0 1-11Installation OverviewThis chapter provides an overview of the installation procedure for the Invisible Fiber™ unit (IFU). In addition, this chapter describes the following:IFU Link ManagerPower sourceCablesSystem grounding and surge suppression Installation OverviewIFUs are loaded with default system attributes at the factory. At the customer’s designated staging area, the customer-specific attributes identified in the site database are downloaded to the IFU, which is then ready for installation. At the installation site, the IFU is installed on a mounting bracket, aligned, and commissioned. When all installation tests are complete and expected results are achieved on all IFU sites, the network is ready for customer acceptance.Site Engineering FolderBefore installing the IFU, the site must be prepared with the appropriate cables, demarcation box, and any equipment as detailed in the site engineering folder. (Refer to the Invisible Fiber™ Internet Site Evaluation Guide for 28 GHz Applications for details about the contents of the site engineering folder.)The site engineering folder is referenced throughout this document. Photos and diagrams of the site are included in the folder.

System Grounding and Surge Protection28 GHz 100 Mbps Internet IFU Installation - R1.0 1-3Fiber Optic CableFor 100 Mbps Internet networks, the fiber optic cable (see Figure 1-1) consists of eight multi-mode optical fibers. This cable connects the IFU to an indoor fiber patch panel. Breakout jackets provide strain relief. System Grounding and Surge ProtectionThe IFU grounding system has two conceptually distinct, but electrically interconnected functional subsystems, for connection to “earth ground.” The two functional subsystems are:Earth ground (complies with the National Electrical Code (NEC) for equipment grounding systems).Surge protection.Earth GroundThe IFU has an external electrical interconnection point for connecting the IFU ground subsystems to earth ground. Surge ProtectionThe sole purpose of surge protection is to transport lightning-related currents to the earth ground. During site installation, surge suppression devices are installed in line with the power and alarm conductors to assist in protecting equipment.

Installing IFU Components28 GHz 100 Mbps Internet IFU Installation - R1.0 3-5To determine the mounting location and method:1With the building manager, define the mounting location and method (wall mount or pole mount).NOTE: The preferred mounting location is on a wall because it is generally structurally sound. The IFU’s streamlined exterior is designed to complement building aesthetics.2After defining the mounting location for the IFU, re-verify the line of sight.3For wall- and pole-mount criterians, the bottom of the IFU should be at least eight feet above the roof.Wall-Mount CriteriaWall mounting can be on a parapet wall, screen wall, or penthouse wall that meets the following criteria: The wall must be structurally capable of supporting at least 80 pounds, plus the wind loading as required by the local building codes. The wall must allow through-hole bolt mounting. The space for the IFU, its mounting bracket, and the alignment area must be at least 65 inches by 65 inches by 30 inches (W x H x D).Pole-Mount CriteriaThe pole can be attached to the wall or free-standing. If the pole is attached to a wall, the pole must be structurally capable of supporting at least 80 pounds, plus the wind loading as required by the local building codes.For free-standing poles, calculate the amount of ballast based on the building’s wind loading requirements. Consult the pole manufacturer for the required ballast weight to secure the free-standing pole. NOTE: The total weight of the pole with the IFU can be upwards of 550 pounds. Consult the pole manufacturer for the required weight for the ballasts to secure the free-standing pole roof space required.

Installation Procedures3-16 © 1999 Triton Network Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.Installing the Fiber Optic CableThere are two fiber optic cable routes as follows: The IFU Alpha fiber optic cable runs from the IFU mounting location to the demarcation box. The IFU Beta fiber optic cable runs from the IFU mounting location to the demarcation box.To install the fiber optic cable:WARNING: Never touch exposed fiber with any part of your body. Fiber fragments can enter the skin and are difficult to detect and remove.AVERTISSEMENT : Ne jamais laisser une fibre nue entrer en contact avec une partie quelconque du corps. Des fragments de fibre peuvent entrer dans la peau, et sont difficiles à déceler et à enlever.DANGER: Invisible laser radiation. Avoid direct eye exposure to the end of a fiber, fiber cord, or fiber pigtail. The infrared light used in fiber optics systems is invisible, but can cause serious injury to the eye.AVERTISSEMENT : Rayonnement laser invisible. Éviter l’exposition directe des yeux à l’extrémité d’une fibre, d’un cordon à fibres ou d’une fibre amorce. La lumière infrarouge utilisée dans les systèmes à fibres optiques est invisible, mais peut provoquer des lésions graves aux yeux.CAUTION: Ensure the outside optical fiber connectors are environmentally protected. Failure to do so may cause contamination of the fiber surfaces.MISE EN GARDE : S’assurer que les raccords extérieurs fibre optique sont protégés contre l’environnement. L’absence d’une telle protection peut entraîner la contamination des surfaces des fibres.
Mounting the IFU Bracket28 GHz 100 Mbps Internet IFU Installation - R1.0 3-171Route the IFU fiber optic cables from each of the IFU mounting locations to the demarcation box. Refer to the site drawing in the site engineering folder for the specific route.NOTE: Allow an extra three-foot service loop at both ends. Use large radius bends to avoid crimping and kinking the cables during the cable routing.2Connect the IFU fiber optic cables to the rear side of the demarcation patch panel as shown in Figure 3-8 and Table 3-5.CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fiber optic cable damage, use the following bend radius guidelines for indoor/outdoor fiber optic cable: Long-term (installed): bend radius is equal to 10 times the diameter of the cable.Short-term (during installation): bend radius is equal to 20 times the diameter of the cable.MISE EN GARDE : Pour réduire le risque de dommage aux câbles à fibres optiques, suivre les consignes suivantes en matière de rayon de courbure des câbles à fibres optiques extérieurs ou intérieurs : Courbure à long terme (installée). Le rayon de courbure ne doit pas dépasser 10 fois le diamètre du câble.Courbure à court terme (pendant l’installation). Le rayon de courbure ne doit pas dépasser 20 fois le diamètre du câble.

Installation Procedures3-22 © 1999 Triton Network Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.To clean the fiber optic cable:WARNING: Never touch exposed fiber with any part of your body. Fiber fragments can enter the skin and are difficult to detect and remove.AVERTISSEMENT : Ne jamais laisser une fibre nue entrer en contact avec une partie quelconque du corps. Des fragments de fibre peuvent entrer dans la peau, et sont difficiles à déceler et à enlever.DANGER: Invisible laser radiation. Avoid direct eye exposure to the end of a fiber, fiber cord, or fiber pigtail. The infrared light used in fiber optics systems is invisible, but can cause serious injury to the eye.AVERTISSEMENT : Rayonnement laser invisible. Éviter l’exposition directe des yeux à l’extrémité d’une fibre, d’un cordon à fibres ou d’une fibre amorce. La lumière infrarouge utilisée dans les systèmes à fibres optiques est invisible, mais peut provoquer des lésions graves aux yeux.CAUTION: Ensure the outside optical fiber connectors are environmentally protected. Failure to do so may cause contamination of the fiber surfaces.MISE EN GARDE : S’assurer que les raccords extérieurs fibre optique sont protégés contre l’environnement. L’absence d’une telle protection peut entraîner la contamination des surfaces des fibres.

Alignment Procedures4-8 © 1999 Triton Network Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.3While viewing the multimeter, sweep the IFU vertically by pointing the IFU all the way up and then down. The measured voltage of the multimeter displays a succession of peak signals as the IFU moves. Specifically, the signal displays a “small” peak, a relatively higher peak, and then redisplays the “small” peak. When the higher peak occurs, note the approximate position of the IFU and the corresponding voltage value. The peak voltage should be approximately 3 Vdc. 4Move the IFU to the higher peak position as indicated by the multimeter display.5Tighten the four vertical screws on the IFU mounting bracket.6Loosen the horizontal alignment nut on the IFU mounting bracket. 7Sweep the IFU from the far left to the far right.
