Page 11 2. INTRODUCTION Users Manual for Remote Unit ION-M17/17P/17P 2.1. PURPOSE Cellular telephone systems transmit signals in two directions between 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 5.7 mW. ION-M17P/17P/17P 2.2. Andrew Solutions ION-M17P/17P/17P is a 3 sector single-box remote unit. It is used in conjunction with a master unit in the ION optical distribution system. This system transports 3 sectors (3 x 1700/2100 MHz) simultaneously, providing a cost-effective solution for distributing capacity from one or more base stations. The ION-M17P/17P/17P 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 fibre. The ION optical distribution system is a cost-effective coverage solution for dense urban areas, airports, high-rise buildings and other locations where physical structures increase path loss or provide limited space for installation. It has been specifically designed to reduce zoning problems and to provide homogeneous coverage. The compact, mechanical design is specifically architected to mount inside of or on poles and along side structures in such a way that it has a minimal visual impact. The ION-M platform has been specifically tested and optimized for CDMA2000. Furthermore, it is provisioned for future improvements to the modulation and frequency bands. Page 12 M0143AWA_uc.doc 2 Introduction 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-

levelling function compensates for the optical link loss making installation easy and quick. The entire system may be monitored remotely via an Andrew OMC. This is a comprehensive management platform with SNMP protocol and X.733 standard implemented. Should a sophisticated interface not be required, the master unit can be directly connected to the alarm interface of a base station via relay alarming. 3 sector multi-operator support Reduced visual impact form factor Efficient, high power amplifier Single fibre for multiple sectors Comprehensive operations and management system for configuration and alarming OMC with SNMP according to X.733 standard Easy installation and commissioning Page 13 3.

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 circuit breaker and an overcurrent limiting device are connected between mains and Remote Unit. 7. A connection of mains supply to a power socket requires the power socket to be nearby the Remote Unit. 8. Incorrectly wired connections can destroy electrical and electronic components. 9. 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). 10. It is sufficient to tighten the N-antenna connector hand-screwed. Any use of a tool

(e.g. pair of pliers) might cause damage to the connector and thus lead to malfunctioning of the Remote Unit. 11. For unstabilized electric networks which frequently generate spikes, it is advised to use a voltage limiting device. 12. The unit complies with the surge requirement according to EN 61000-4-5 (fine protection); however, it is recommended to install an additional medium (via local supply connection) and/or coarse protection (external surge protection) depending on the individual application in order to avoid damage caused by overcurrent. 13. Observe the labels on the front panels before connecting or disconnecting any cables. Page 24 M0143AWA_uc.doc 4 Commissioning 4.2.2.

Then, fasten all parts again with the hex nut. Page 26 M0143AWA_uc.doc 4 Commissioning 4.2.4. Connection of the Antenna Cables The remote unit has N-type antenna connectors. For its location please refer to chapter 4.2.2 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. It is sufficient to tighten the N-type antenna connectors hand-tight. The use of a tool (like pliers) may cause damage to the connector and, therefore, lead to a malfunctioning of the remote unit. Page 27 Users Manual for Remote Unit ION-M17/17P/17P 4.2.5. 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 connector of the unit (see chapter 4.2.2 Connections). The power supply plug is part of the delivery. The correct wiring of the power supply plug is as follows:

figure 4-9 AC mains plug 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. Page 28 M0143AWA_uc.doc 4 Commissioning 4.3. OPTICAL-FIBRE-CABLE CONNECTION - RULES Optical signals are transmitted by use of optical fibres. When connecting these fibres observe the following instructions.

Note:

Care should be taken when connecting and disconnecting fibre-

optic cables. Scratches and dust significantly affect system performance and may permanently damage the connector. Always use protective caps on fibre-optic connectors not in use.

<0.26 dB / km @ 1550 nm

<18.0 ps / nm km @ 1550 nm In general, optical fibres do not need special protective measures. However, protection against environmental influences e.g. rodents and humidity must be considered. The optical fibre is a single mode fibre. Type is E9/125 m with the following minimum requirements:

Attenuation: <0.36 dB / km @ 1310 nm Dispersion: <3.5 ps / nm km @ 1310 nm The specified bending radius of the optical fibres must not be exceeded. 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 fibres, 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 fibre, at the input and output of the device which has to be measured. Fibre-cable connectors have to be of the same type (E2000APC8) as the connectors used for the unit. The fibre-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 fibre cables, follow the procedure below to ensure optimized performance. It is important for these procedures to be carried out with care:

Page 29 Users Manual for Remote Unit ION-M17/17P/17P Remove fibre-optic protective caps. Do not bend the fibre-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 fibre-optic cable that will be inserted in the optical connectors on the donor interface box. Blow out the laser receptacle with clean and dry compressed air to remove any particulate matter. Connect the fibre-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.

4.3.1. Protective Plug Connection:

A protective plug is provided for the connection of the fibre-optic cables. figure 4-10 Protective-plug assembly

Note: Only high-quality connectors must be used for this type of plug. Qualified brands are Diamond or Huber & Suhner. Page 30 M0143AWA_uc.doc 4 Commissioning For plug assembly, observe the following instruction:

1. Pass one or two contacts through the backshell and the clamp ring. 2. Place the contact(s) on the lower insulation body by pushing the groove of the contact into the cavity. If there is only one contact, cavity A must be used. *

EXTERNAL ALARM INPUTS AND OUTPUTS Users Manual for Remote Unit ION-M17/17P/17P G1038Z0 G1038Z0 figure 5-1 Flange connector, 5 poles figure 5-2 Flange connector, 7 poles 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 5-2 Flange connector, 7 poles) is protected by a 500 mA 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 (see chapter 7.3 Spare Parts) is available to connect external devices to the external alarm inputs and outputs.. Page 40 M0143AWA_uc.doc 5 Alarms 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 Andrew Solutions (see chapter 7.3 Spare Parts).
