Mission Valley Radio Repeater Equipment + Upgrade User/Maintenance Handbook Handbook No. 50-078021HBKM Page 4 of 85 INTRODUCTION Scope and Purpose of document 1. 1.1 This handbook is for use solely with the equipment identified by the AFL Part Number shown on the front cover. It is not to be used with any other equipment unless specifically authorised by Aerial Facilities Limited. The purpose of this handbook is to provide the user/maintainer with sufficient information to service and repair the equipment to the level agreed. Maintenance and adjustments to any deeper level must be performed by AFL, normally at the companys repair facility in Chesham, England. This handbook has been prepared in accordance with BS 4884, and AFLs Quality procedures, which maintain the companys registration to BS EN ISO 9001:2000 and to the R&TTE Directive of the European Parliament. Copies of the relevant certificates and the company Quality Manual can be supplied on application to the Quality Manager. This document fulfils the relevant requirements of Article 6 of the R&TTE Directive. 1.2 This manual is written for the use of technically competent operators/service persons. No liability is accepted by AFL for use or misuse of this manual, the information contained herein, or the consequences of any actions resulting from the use of the said information, including, but not limited to, descriptive, procedural, typographical, arithmetical, or listing errors. Furthermore, AFL does not warrant the absolute accuracy of the information contained within this manual, or its completeness, fitness for purpose, or scope. AFL has a policy of continuous product development and enhancement, and as such, reserves the right to amend, alter, update and generally change the contents, appearance and pertinence of this document without notice. All AFL products carry a twelve month warranty from date of shipment. The warranty is expressly on a return to base repair or exchange basis and the warranty cover does not extend to on-site repair or complete unit exchange. Limitation of Liability Notice Mission Valley Radio Repeater Equipment + Upgrade User/Maintenance Handbook Handbook No. 50-078021HBKM Page 5 of 85 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS Earthing of Equipment Equipment supplied from the mains must be connected to grounded outlets and earthed in conformity with appropriate local, national and international electricity supply and safety regulations. Electric Shock Hazard 2. 2.1 2.2 The risk of electrical shocks due to faulty mains driven power supplies whilst potentially ever present in any electrical equipment, would be minimised by adherence to good installation practice and thorough testing at the following stages:
Commissioning. Original assembly. Regular intervals, thereafter. a) b) c) All test equipment must be in good working order prior to its use. High current power supplies can be dangerous because of the possibility of substantial arcing. Always switch off during disconnection and reconnection. 2.3 RF Radiation Hazard RF radiation, (especially at UHF frequencies) arising from transmitter outputs connected to AFLs equipment, must be considered a safety hazard. This condition might only occur in the event of cable disconnection, or because a spare output has been left un-terminated. Either of these conditions would impair the systems efficiency. No investigation should be carried out until all RF power sources have been removed. This would always be a wise precaution, despite the severe mismatch between the impedance of an N type connector at 50, and that of free space at 377, which would severely mitigate against the efficient radiation of RF power. Radio frequency burns could also be a hazard, if any RF power carrying components were to be carelessly touched!
Antenna positions should be chosen to comply with requirements (both local & statutory) regarding exposure of personnel to RF radiation. When connected to an antenna, the unit is capable of producing RF field strengths, which may exceed guideline safe values especially if used with antennas having appreciable gain. In this regard the use of directional antennas with backscreens and a strict site rule that personnel must remain behind the screen while the RF power is on, is strongly recommended. Where the equipment is used near power lines or in association with temporary masts not having lightning protection, the use of a safety earth connected to the case-earthing bolt is strongly advised. 2.4 Lifting and other Health and Safety Recommendations Certain items of AFL equipment are heavy and care should be taken when lifting them by hand. Ensure that a suitable number of personnel, appropriate lifting apparatus and appropriate personal protective equipment is used especially when installing Cell Enhancers above ground e.g. on a mast or pole. Mission Valley Radio Repeater Equipment + Upgrade User/Maintenance Handbook Handbook No. 50-078021HBKM Page 6 of 85 2.5 Chemical Hazard Beryllium Oxide, also known as Beryllium Monoxide, or Thermalox, is sometimes used in devices within equipment produced by Aerial Facilities Ltd. Beryllium oxide dust can be toxic if inhaled, leading to chronic respiratory problems. It is harmless if ingested or by contact. Products that contain beryllium are load terminations (dummy loads) and some power amplifiers. These products can be identified by a yellow and black skull and crossbones danger symbol (shown above). They are marked as hazardous in line with international regulations, but pose no threat under normal circumstances. Only if a component containing beryllium oxide has suffered catastrophic failure, or exploded, will there be any danger of the formation of dust. Any dust that has been created will be contained within the equipment module as long as the module remains sealed. For this reason, any module carrying the yellow and black danger sign should not be opened. If the equipment is suspected of failure, or is at the end of its life-cycle, it must be returned to Aerial Facilities Ltd for disposal. To return such equipment, please contact the Quality Department, who will give you a Returned Materials Authorisation (RMA) number. Please quote this number on the packing documents, and on all correspondence relating to the shipment. PolyTetraFluoroEthylene, (P.T.F.E.) and P.T.F.E. Composite Materials Many modules/components in AFL equipment contain P.T.F.E. as part of the RF insulation barrier. This material should never be heated to the point where smoke or fumes are evolved. Any person feeling drowsy after coming into contact with P.T.F.E. especially dust or fumes should seek medical attention. Laser safety 2.6 General good working practices adapted from EN60825-2: 2004/ EC 60825-2:2004 Do not stare with unprotected eyes or with any unapproved optical device at the fibre ends or connector faces or point them at other people, Use only approved filtered or attenuating viewing aids. Any single or multiple fibre end or ends found not to be terminated (for example, matched, spliced) shall be individually or collectively covered when not being worked on. They shall not be readily visible and sharp ends shall not be exposed. When using test cords, the optical power source shall be the last connected and the first disconnected; use only approved methods for cleaning and preparing optical fibres and optical connectors. Always keep optical connectors covered to avoid physical damage and do not allow any dirt/foreign material ingress on the optical connector bulkheads. The optical fibre jumper cable maximum bend radius is 3cm; any smaller radii may result in optical cable breakage or excessive transmission losses. Caution: The FO units are NOT weather proof. 2.7 The AFL Quality Department can be contacted on:

In the downlink direction, the incoming antenna RF is directed through a bandpass filter to a pair of 20dB gain low noise amplifiers that have a switchable 0-30dB attenuator between them. The resultant single path is then divided several times and fed out of the shelf to the channel selective modules (x 24). When the outputs from the channel modules return, they are combined and exit to the two power amplifier shelves that serve the East and West tunnel leaky feeders. The uplink path originates from the tunnel antennas, and is band-selectively amplified and fed to a pair of 10W power amplifiers. This final amplification stage in the uplink path has an automatic gain control detector and attenuator to help negate the overloading effect of someone operating a mobile close to the LCX tunnel antennas. Note that this shelf has its own, dedicated mains driven, 12-15V DC PSU unit. 3.7.2 Technical Specification Shelf dimensions Temperature range PARAMETER SPECIFICATION Frequency range: 806-824MHz (Uplink) 851-869MHz (Downlink) Downlink output power: N/A Uplink output power: 10Watts (x2) AGC: Fitted in uplink path AGC dynamic range: >35dB Height: 8U Width: 19" (482.6mm) Depth: <450mm (excluding connectors & handles) operational:

The programming switches are mounted in the Channel Control Modules which are located beside the channel modules in the module racking. The Channel Selectivity Modules are connected to the Channel Control Module via 25 way ribbon cables. Switch 16 is at the far left of the line of switches leading down to Switch 1 at the far right of the line. Adjacent to the DIL switches for each channel is a toggle switch to turn on and off individual channels as required. A green LED indicates the DC ON status of each channel. A red LED shows the alarm condition for each channel. An illuminated alarm LED indicates that the synthesiser has not achieved phase lock and that the module is disabled. There is a problem which requires investigation, often a frequency programmed outside the operating frequency range. The following information is necessary before attempting the programming procedure. 1) 2) 3) operating frequency synthesiser channel spacing (step size) synthesiser offset (IF) Check that the required frequency falls within the operational frequency limits of the Cell Enhancer. For each channel required, subtract the synthesiser offset from the required operating frequency and record the resulting local oscillator frequency. Divide each local oscillator frequency by the channel spacing and check that the result is an integer
(i.e.: no remainder). If the synthesiser division ratio is not an integer value, check the required operational frequency and repeat the calculation checking for mistakes. Convert the required local oscillator frequency to synthesiser programming switch state patterns according to the following table.

The output from the channel module shelves is split into two and input to each of the two PA shelves. Each PA powers either the East or West tunnel leaky feeder antennas and a proportion of the LCX signal provides a feed to the 800MHz in-line amplifiers that power the fire exit stairs antennas. All amplifiers in the shelf have alarms and they terminate at the rear panel mounted 9-way D connector, pins 1 & 2. Since the Mission Valley system was first commissioned, the upgrade was designed and built using a high power shelf (50-078005) instead of the 40Watt shelf described here.

This is achieved by using highly accurate crystal filters to set the exact channel frequency and speciality channel selective modules that react to detectors placed in each path. There are also switched attenuators before and after the channel modules in order to accurately set the RF threshold levels for correct simplex operation (this will already have been achieved at the time of final system test and should not need adjustment). Isolators at the outputs of each path protect the power stages from potentially damaging stray interference from other channels. Each amplifier in the simplex CE shelves has an alarm as do the channel modules and the summary alarms terminate at the rear panel mounted 9-way D connector, pins 1 & 2. 3.10.2 Technical Specification PARAMETER SPECIFICATION Simplex frequencies: 159.0-161.0MHz (50-078010/2) 161.295MHz (50-078010/1) Gain: >90dB Gain Adjustment: 0 15dB (in 1dB step) Uplink Power: >5.0Watts (typical) Downlink Power: >5.0Watts (typical) IP3 Uplink: +48dBm Downlink: +48dBm Noise Figure: <6dB Channel module gain: 24dB (uplink) 23dB (downlink) VSWR: better than 1.5:1 RF Connectors: N type, female

Mission Valley Radio Repeater Equipment + Upgrade User/Maintenance Handbook Handbook No. 50-078021HBKM Page 35 of 85 3.12.1 Description The duplex shelves are part of the VHF amplification system and like the simplex shelves, have crystal filters instead of bandpass filters to set frequencies and bandwidths. There are two downlink channels and two uplink channels, the downlink paths having isolators fitted to each of the 5Watt output stages to prevent interfering reflections from the other channel. The uplink channel modules have a dedicated noise muting circuit fitted externally to the channel module which operates when the downlink path is active. All amplifiers have built-in alarms which are configured as a summary, volt-free relay contact pair terminating at pins 1 & 2 on the rear panel mounted D type alarm connector. 3.12.2 Technical Specification PARAMETER Duplex channel frequencies:

(The loss at 800MHz is considerable compared with the VHF signals, so a small amount of gain at 800MHz is required to overcome these losses, whereas the VHF signals need no boosting). The primary application for the BDA is to boost the 800MHz and VHF signals in areas of the West Tunnel and Fire Exits where coverage would otherwise be inadequate. Notice that each path has automatic gain control as the amplifier receives its input from the leaky feeder antennas for both up and downlink. This means that the signal could have large differences in level at any time which is why the AGC is needed on both paths. The amplifier needs 12V DC for its supply, and this enters from the BBU unit through a rugged connector mounted on the R.H.S (viewed from front) of the case. For further notes on the use of the battery backup system, see the dedicated BBU handbook at the end of this document (appendix B). 4.1.2 Electrical Specification PARAMETER SPECIFICATION 855-869MHz (Downlink) Frequency range: 810-824MHz (Uplink) Bandwidth: 14MHz (both paths) Rejection @ opposite band: 70dBc Rejection @ 837.5MHz: 50dBc Gain: >30dB Gain Adjustment: 0 - 30dB (in 2dB steps) Uplink 1 dB compression point: +37dBm Downlink 1 dB compression point: +42dBm Uplink +44dBm Downlink +54dBm IP3 Noise Figure: <8dB AGC level: +33.5dBm (downlink)

MASTER SITE UPGRADE 5.1 Master Site Upgrade Rack Assembly (50-078021) 5.1.1 Master Site Upgrade Rack Description This upgrade to the Mission Valley radio repeater system is concerned only with the 800MHz band of frequencies, which, in the original specification could carry up to 24 channels of cell data simultaneously. The added hardware for this upgrade will increase the number of available channels from 24 to 43 but the number of 19 racks remains at three (the original 40W amplifier shelves will not now be needed and three new channel module shelves will be added). The cellular amplifier is in addition to the 24 channels already in existence, the increase (19 channels, 6 x 8ch. sub-racks) is designed to alleviate radio congestion to the local BTS and to extend the number of possible simultaneous uses. Because of the increased channel density, a pair of 80-
100Watt power amplifier shelves (50-146703), instead of the original 40Watt pair, are the main source of downlink RF power in the system to maintain the effective power/channel. Only the downlink path is channelised, the uplink path is band-selective and its traffic is limited only by the total carrier power available. All shelves have active device alarms and these are configured as a volt-free, relay contact pair summary per shelf, terminating in the 9-way D connector on the rear panel, pins 1 & 2. The VHF system needs no upgrade at this time, so the VHF hardware remains the same. 5.1.2 Master Site Upgrade Rack Electrical Specification PARAMETER SPECIFICATION Frequency ranges: 810-824MHz (Uplink) 855-869MHz (Downlink) VSWR: better than 1.5:1 DC power supply: +24V Power consumption: 600Watts AC power input: 230V AC (nominal) Alarms Fitted:

The higher power amplifiers are needed to maintain sufficient power per channel for the 800MHz cellular repeater as there are now 19 extra channels. This shelf has two amplifiers, a low noise amplifier and a low power (2W) amplifier which acts as a driver for the high power shelf (50-146703). A 0-15dB switched attenuator at each of the two inputs allows accurate balancing of the signal through the high power stages. As with all other shelves, alarms exist for all the amplifiers and they terminate on the rear panel D connector as a summary, volt-free relay contact pair, pins 1 & 2. 5.3.2 Technical Specification Shelf dimensions Temperature range PARAMETER SPECIFICATION Frequency range: 855-869MHz (Downlink) Downlink output power: 2W (driver for HPA) Uplink output power: N/A Height: 3U Width: 19" (482.6mm) Depth: <450mm (excluding connectors & handles) operational:

When this equipment is initially commissioned, please use the equipment set-up record sheet in Appendix B. This will help both the installation personnel and AFL should these figures be needed for future reference or diagnosis. 6.1 The equipment racks that these master site shelves will be fitted into must be located on a flat, level surface that is made from a material suitable for bearing the weight of the rack assembly. If the installer is in any doubt about the suitability of a site it is recommended that he consult with an appropriately qualified Structural Engineer. It is important in determining the location of the rack within the room that space is allowed for access to the front and rear of the equipment. To enable maintenance to be carried out, the doors must be able to fully open. The location must be served with a duct to allow the entry of cables into the unit. The mains power supply is connected to the terminal strip located on the bulkhead at the rear of the equipment at floor level. It is recommended that the connection is made by a qualified electrician, who must satisfy himself that the supply will be the correct voltage and of sufficient capacity. All electrical and RF connection should be completed and checked prior to power being applied for the first time. 6.2 Care must be taken to ensure that the correct connections are made with particular attention made to the base station TX/RX ports. In the event that the base transmitter is connected to the RX output of the rack, damage to the equipment will be done if the base station transmitter is then keyed. Ensure that connections are kept clean and are fully tightened. 6.3 Once all connections are made the equipment is ready for commissioning. Using the system diagrams and the end-to-end test specification, the equipment should be tested to ensure correct operation. On initial power up the system alarm indicators on the front panels of the equipment should be checked. A red LED illuminated indicates a fault in that particular tray that must be investigated before proceeding with the commissioning. A green LED on each shelf illuminates, to indicate that the power supply is connected to the shelf In the event that any part of the system does not function correctly as expected, check all connections to ensure that they are to the correct port, that the interconnecting cables are not faulty and that they are tightened. The majority of commissioning difficulties arise from problems with the interconnecting cables and connectors. RF Connections Commissioning Mission Valley Radio Repeater Equipment + Upgrade User/Maintenance Handbook Handbook No. 50-078021HBKM Page 64 of 85 7. MAINTENANCE 7.1 Fault Finding 7.1.1 Quick Fault Checklist All AFL equipment is individually tested to specification prior to despatch. Failure of this type of equipment is not common. Experience has shown that a large number of fault conditions relating to tunnel installations result from simple causes often occurring as result of transportation, unpacking and installation. Below are listed some common problems which have resulted in poor performance or an indicated non-functioning of the equipment. Input signals not present due to faults in the aerial and feeder system. Internal connectors becoming loose due to transport vibration. Mains power not connected or not switched on. External connectors not fitted or incorrectly fitted. Wiring becoming detached as a result of heavy handling. Base transmissions not present due to fault at the base station. Modems fitted with incorrect software configuration. Changes to channel frequencies and inhibiting channels. Hand held radio equipment not set to repeater channels. Hand held radio equipment not set to correct base station. 7.1.2 Fault Isolation In the event that the performance of the system is suspect, a methodical and logical approach to the problem will reveal the cause of the difficulty. The system consists of modules fitted in shelves within an environmentally protected enclosure (rack). Transmissions from the main base stations are passed though the system to the mobile radio equipment; this could be a handheld radio or a transceiver in a vehicle. This path is referred to as the downlink. The return signal path from the mobile radio equipment to the base station is referred to as the uplink. The first operation is to check the alarms of each of the active units and determine that the power supplies to the equipment are connected and active. This can be achieved remotely (via CEMS, the RS232 Coverage Enhancement Management System, if fitted), or locally with the front panel LEDs. The green LED on the front panel should be illuminated, while the red alarm indicator should be off. If an alarm is on, then that individual module must be isolated and individually tested against the original test specification. The individual amplifier or FO units within the shelf have a green LED showing through a hole in their piggy-back alarm board, which is illuminated if the unit is working correctly. If a module is suspect, check the DC power supply to the unit. If no other fault is apparent use a spectrum analyser to measure the incoming signal level at the input and then after reconnecting the amplifier input, measure the output level. Consult with the system diagram to determine the expected gain and compare result. In the event that there are no alarms on and all units appear to be functioning it will be necessary to test the system in a systematic manner to confirm correct operation. Mission Valley Radio Repeater Equipment + Upgrade User/Maintenance Handbook Handbook No. 50-078021HBKM Page 65 of 85 7.1.3 Downlink Confirm that there is a signal at the expected frequency and strength from the base station. If this is not present then the fault may lay outside the system. To confirm this, inject a downlink frequency signal from a known source at the master site BTS input and check for output at the remote site feeder output. If a signal is not received at the output it will be necessary to follow the downlink path through the system to find a point at which the signal is lost. The expected downlink output for the given input can be found in the end-to-end test specification. 7.1.4 Uplink Testing the uplink involves a similar procedure to the downlink except that the frequencies used are those transmitted by the mobile equipment. 7.1.5 Checking service Following the repair of any part of the system it is recommended that a full end-to-end test is carried out in accordance with the test specification and that the coverage is checked by survey. It is important to bear in mind that the system includes a radiating cable network and base stations that may be faulty or may have been damaged. Mission Valley Radio Repeater Equipment + Upgrade User/Maintenance Handbook Handbook No. 50-078021HBKM Page 66 of 85 7.1.6 Fault repair Once a faulty component has been identified, a decision must be made on the appropriate course to carry out a repair. A competent engineer can quickly remedy typical faults such as faulty connections or cables. The exceptions to this are cable assemblies connecting bandpass filter assemblies that are manufactured to critical lengths to maintain a 50-ohm system. Care should be taken when replacing cables or connectors to ensure that items are of the correct specification. The repair of component modules such as amplifiers and bandpass filters will not usually be possible in the field, as they frequently require specialist knowledge and test equipment to ensure correct operation. It is recommended that items of this type are replaced with a spare unit and the faulty unit returned to AFL for repair. 7.1.7 Service Support Advice and assistance with maintaining and servicing this system are available by contacting Aerial Facilities Ltd. NOTE Individual modules are not intended to be repaired on site and attempts at repair will invalidate active warranties. Company policy is that individual modules should be repaired by replacement. Aerial Facilities Ltd maintains a high level of stock of most modules which can usually be despatched at short notice to support this policy.

Mission Valley Radio Repeater Equipment + Upgrade User/Maintenance Handbook Handbook No. 50-078021HBKM Page 67 of 85 7.2 Care of Modules 7.3 7.3.1 General Comments Many of the active modules contain semiconductor devices utilising MOS technology, which can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Correct handling of such modules is mandatory to ensure their long-term reliability. To prevent damage to a module, it must be withdrawn/inserted with care. The module may have connectors on its underside, which might not be visible to the service operative. 7.3.2 Module Removal (LNAs, general procedure):
The following general instructions should be followed to remove a module:
1 Remove power to the unit 2 Remove all visible connectors (RF, DC & alarm) 3 Release module retaining screws. 4 Slowly but firmly, pull the module straight out of its position. Take care not to twist/turn the module during withdrawal. (When the module is loose, care may be needed, as there may be concealed connections underneath). 7.3.3 Module Replacement (general):
1 Carefully align the module into its location then slowly push the module directly straight into its position, taking care not to twist/turn it during insertion. 2 Reconnect all connectors, RF, alarm, power etc.,(concealed connectors may have to be connected first). 3 Replace retaining screws (if any). 4 Double-check all connections before applying power. 7.3.4 Power Amplifiers 1) Remove power to the unit. (Switch off @ mains/battery, or remove DC in connector) 2) Remove alarm wires from alarm screw terminal block or disconnect multi-way alarm connector. 3) Carefully disconnect the RF input and output coaxial connectors (usually SMA) If alarm board removal is not required, go to step 5. 4) There is (usually) a plate attached to the alarm board which fixes it to the amplifier, remove its retaining screws and the alarm board can be withdrawn from the amplifier in its entirety. On certain types of amplifier the alarm board is not mounted on a dedicated mounting plate; in this case it will have to firstly be removed by unscrewing it from the mounting pillars, in most cases, the pillars will not have not have to be removed before lifting the amplifier. 5) If the amplifier to be removed has a heatsink attached, there may be several different ways it can have been assembled. The most commonly used method, is screws through the front of the heatsink to threaded screw holes (or nuts and bolts), into the amplifier within the main case. If the heatsink is mounted on the rear of the main case (e.g., against a wall in the case of wall mounted enclosures), then the fixing method for the heatsink will be from within the case, (otherwise the enclosure would have to be removed from the wall in order to remove the heatsink). When the heatsink has been removed, the amplifier may be unscrewed from the main casing by its four corner fixings and gently withdrawn.

The Battery Backup Unit is mounted in a single environmentally-protected case. NOTE:
Although battery back-up units are fitted in an IP65 case, they are open to the local environment via coarsely filtered grill apertures which are necessary to allow the escape of gasses from the batteries when they are being charged or discharged. Handles are provided for carrying the unit and the door is fitted with locks. All the power and alarm connections are via rugged IP68 sealed connectors. The Battery Backup Unit contains a switch-mode power supply module (SMPSU), the batteries, a battery charger and the associated control circuitry. In particular a low-voltage cut-off is fitted to shut the system down after extended operation to prevent deep discharge of the batteries. The Battery Backup Unit is fitted as standard with two alarms, a combined power supply and charger alarm and an intruder alarm. The intruder alarm operates when the enclosure door is opened. Both alarm circuits are volt-free contacts which are normally closed and become open circuit in a fault condition. The Battery Backup Unit can be fitted with a more comprehensive alarm and monitoring alarm system if required. In these cases the Battery Backup Unit can also be fitted with alarms for AC failure, temperature, etc. and be interfaced for use with the Cell Enhancer remote alarm reporting system. When the Battery Backup Unit is used as the default power source for the Cell Enhancer, the Cell Enhancer only requires a 12V DC supply input. This has the effect of removing the power supply from the Cell Enhancer case, therefore saving on cost, weight and most importantly reducing heat generation within the Cell Enhancer case. The Battery Backup Unit is designed to provide typically four hours autonomy in the event of mains supply failure. However, this will vary depending on the load presented by the Cell Enhancer and the size of the batteries fitted. The circuit diagram and schematic contained in this handbook are based on the standard model. All Battery Backup Units are capable of being customised to individual customers requirements for battery capacity, alarms etc. and the drawings may differ from those included in this manual.

Mission Valley Radio Repeater Equipment + UpgradeUser/Maintenance Handbook APPENDIX C Battery Backup Handbook No. 50-078021HBKM Page 78 of 85 C.3.3 Technical Description AFL Cell Enhancer/repeater equipment often requires backup against failure of the mains AC supply. Since the equipment runs on a 12V DC supply the most efficient method of providing backup is by a bank of dry lead acid batteries of adequate capacity. The Battery Backup Power Supply Unit incorporates a 400 Watt DC power supply and a Charger/Regulator with a bank of two 12V 40AH batteries connected in parallel. The 400 Watt SMPSU power supply will provide 12V DC to power the repeater under normal running conditions from the mains supply. The batteries will provide 12V DC if the mains supply fails. To reach maximum capacity the batteries need a charging voltage of 13.5V and this is provided by a commercially available TRACO type TIS300-124 power supply with an output current capability of 10A maximum. The disadvantage with lead acid batteries is the high terminal voltage during charging. AFL repeaters employ a diode combiner to sum the 12V DC output of the SMPSU DC power supply and the battery bank DC output. The diode combiner is used to achieve "no break" changeover on mains failure, however, if during charging the battery output has a greater voltage than the SMPSU DC power supply the repeater will draw current from the batteries and not the SMPSU. A further disadvantage is that the power dissipation in the repeater amplifiers is 30% greater with a 13.5V supply and some power amplifier devices are rated to 14V maximum collector voltage leaving little margin for safety. To overcome these problems the Battery Backup Power Supply must regulate the battery voltage to be slightly below that of the SMPSU. At the same time when the AC supply is off and the equipment is running from batteries the voltage drop across the regulator must be a minimum to achieve maximum backup time as the batteries discharge. A further requirement is to prevent the effect known as "deep discharge" which shortens battery life. This means the load must be disconnected from the batteries when they become discharged to a terminal voltage of approximately 10.5V. The charger power supply charges the 2 series connected batteries through blocking diodes. The diodes prevent unwanted current flows between circuit elements. The battery charger DC output is connected through the Battery Output ON/OFF switch to the Charger Control Board via a diode where it powers the low voltage disconnect comparator. The comparator senses the battery voltage via a potential divider and compares it to a fixed 5V reference. Adjustment of the potentiometer VR1 sets the minimum battery voltage at which the low voltage disconnect relay remains energised and the output to an 18V regulator is enabled. In the absence of an AC input the supply to the comparator is maintained from the batteries via a second diode through the contacts of the low voltage disconnect relay. When the comparator releases the low voltage disconnect relay the comparator supply is interrupted. The low voltage disconnect relay will then remain de-energised (Battery Output Off) until either the AC supply returns or the Reset pushbutton is pressed. On actuation of the Reset pushbutton the output will be restored provided the battery voltage exceeds the comparator threshold set by the potentiometer VR1. Output from the low voltage disconnect relay is routed to the 9V regulator which provides a stabilised 9 Volt output determined by two divider resistors. This supply feeds a voltage doubler circuit configured from a square wave multi-vibrator and two chopper field effect transistors. Two diodes form the voltage doubling rectifier so that in normal operation approximately 33 Volts is available across doubler circuit capacitors. The 16 Volt supply is routed via the control element transistor to the gate of a Power MOSFET which is the series pass element for regulating the 13.5V battery voltage to 12.5 Volts at the final output. The FET is chosen for its ability to pass high currents (>30A) with a very low voltage drop (100mV). To achieve this performance requires that the gate is at least 6V more positive than the drain &
source terminals. This is the reason for the Voltage doubler supply for driving the gate. The output voltage is sensed by a second potential divider and compared with the reference voltage from a zener diode to drive the control element transistor for the gate voltage of the pass element. Adjustment of the second potentiometer VR2 sets the output voltage to the required value.

BBU ALARMS & MONITORING SYSTEM C.5.1 Description The Battery Backup is fitted with a two alarm outputs. The Summary Alarm (Pins 1 & 2) has normally closed, volt free, contacts which open when either the SMPSU output fails and/or the battery charger output fails and/or the door to the Battery Backup is opened. Mission Valley Radio Repeater Equipment + UpgradeUser/Maintenance Handbook APPENDIX C Battery Backup Handbook No. 50-078021HBKM Page 84 of 85 C.6. INSTALLATION C.6.1 Battery Backup Unit Installation Fix the Battery Backup Unit in the chosen position. The procedure for installing and commissioning an AFL Cell Enhancer Battery Backup Unit is generally as follows:
1 2 3 4 Switch the Battery Backup Unit on by switching on the two circuit breakers and the battery output switch on the internal indicator panel. Connect the DC cable from the Battery Backup Unit to the Cell Enhancer. Connect a suitable mains power supply to the Battery Backup Unit. Test the Cell Enhancer to ensure correct operation from the Battery Backup Unit. C.6.2 Power Supply Input Voltage Selection The SMPSU module used within the AFL Cell Enhancer Battery Backup Unit is capable of operation at any voltage between 90 Vac and 264 Vac. The battery charger power supply (Traco) must be switched to either 115 or 230V nominal AC supplies. The supply changeover switch is located on the top surface of the battery charger supply near to the front of the battery backup case. This slide switch is recessed within the supply and can be operated by a small screwdriver. 5 C.7. MAINTENANCE C.7.1 General Comments The AFL Cell Enhancer Battery Backup Unit requires no routine maintenance. If a failure is suspected it is possible with the aid of the block schematics (see section 3) to locate any defective unit. It should be borne in mind that a failure indicated by the alarm system could actually be a failure in the alarm system! It is always worth checking that there really is a genuine problem by AC and DC voltage measurements before starting to dismantle parts of the system. Lead-acid batteries should be inspected every year for general condition the same way an auto battery would be regarded.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS 1.1 Earthing of Equipment Cell Enhancers supplied from the mains must be connected to grounded outlets and earthed in conformity with appropriate local, national and international electricity supply and safety regulations. 1.2 Electric Shock Hazard Electrical shocks due to faulty mains driven power supplies. Whilst ever potentially present in any electrical equipment, such a condition would be minimised by quality installation practice and thorough testing at:
a) Original assembly b) Commissioning c) Regular intervals, thereafter. All test equipment to be in good working order prior to its use. High current power supplies can be dangerous because of the possibility of substantial arcing. Always switch off during disconnection and reconnection. H/book Number:-50-078001HBKM Issue No:-A Date:-02/09/2004 Page:-10 of 88 800MHz & VHF Cell Enhancers Maintenance Handbook 1.3 RF Radiation Hazard RF radiation, (especially at UHF frequencies) arising from transmitter outputs connected to AFLs equipment, must be considered a safety hazard. This condition might only occur in the event of cable disconnection, or because a spare output has been left unterminated. Either of these conditions would impair the systems efficiency. No investigation should be carried out until all RF power sources have been removed. This would always be a wise precaution, despite the severe mismatch between the impedance of an N type connector at 50, and that of free space at 377, which would severely mitigate against the efficient radiation of RF power. Radio frequency burns could also be a hazard, if any RF power carrying components were to be carelessly touched!
Antenna positions should be chosen to comply with requirements (both local & statutory) regarding exposure of personnel to RF radiation. When connected to an antenna, the unit is capable of producing RF field strengths, which may exceed guideline safe values especially if used with antennas having appreciable gain. In this regard the use of directional antennas with backscreens and a strict site rule that personnel must remain behind the screen while the RF power is on, is strongly recommended. Where the equipment is used near power lines, or in association with temporary masts not having lightning protection, the use of a safety earth connected to the case-earthing bolt is strongly advised. H/book Number:-50-078001HBKM Issue No:-A Date:-02/09/2004 Page:-11 of 88 800MHz & VHF Cell Enhancers Maintenance Handbook 1.4 Chemical Hazard Beryllium Oxide, also known as Beryllium Monoxide, or Thermalox, is sometimes used in devices within equipment produced by Aerial Facilities Ltd. Beryllium oxide dust can be toxic if inhaled, leading to chronic respiratory problems. It is harmless if ingested or by contact. Products that contain beryllium are load terminations (dummy loads) and some power amplifiers. These products can be identified by a yellow and black skull and crossbones danger symbol (shown above). They are marked as hazardous in line with international regulations, but pose no threat under normal circumstances. Only if a component containing beryllium oxide has suffered catastrophic failure, or exploded, will there be any danger of the formation of dust. Any dust that has been created will be contained within the equipment module as long as the module remains sealed. For this reason, any module carrying the yellow and black danger sign should not be opened. If the equipment is suspected of failure, or is at the end of its life-cycle, it must be returned to Aerial Facilities Ltd for disposal. To return such equipment, please contact the Quality Department, who will give you a Returned Materials Authorisation (RMA) number. Please quote this number on the packing documents, and on all correspondence relating to the shipment. PolyTetraFluoroEthylene, (P.T.F.E.) and P.T.F.E. Composite Materials Many modules/components in AFL equipment contain P.T.F.E. as part of the RF insulation barrier. This material should never be heated to the point where smoke or fumes are evolved. Any person feeling drowsy after coming into contact with P.T.F.E. especially dust or fumes should seek medical attention. Emergency Contact Numbers 1.5 The AFL Quality Department can be contacted on:

OVERVIEW/SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The AFL Channel and/or Band Selective Cell Enhancers are 2-way on-band repeaters. Various models are available to cover frequency bands from 50MHz to 3000MHz. The principle sphere of applications is in urban areas where the topology is such that shadows occur in the propagation pattern (for example within large buildings, conference centres, road and rail tunnels, etc.) The frequency bands that are passed by the Cell Enhancer are set as per the specific customer requirements. AFL manufacture a wide range of Cell Enhancers, configured for each customer's specific requirements. Two basic physical variants are available, a rack mounted version to fit in a standard 19" rack and an environmentally sealed wall mounted version which requires no further enclosure. This system provides 800MHz Channelised (x 24) & VHF Simplex/Duplex coverage for the various concourses platforms and tunnels with a 12V battery backup service (for the 800MHz line amplifier) that will guarantee limited continued coverage in case of mains power failure. Each active module is alarm monitored with each shelf/ wall-case having a summary alarm with a visual alarm active indication and a door intrusion alarm included for the wall cases. All alarms are volt-free, relay contact pairs which may be easily configured into an RS232/modem system such that automatic remote monitoring by computer may be achieved.

SUB-UNIT MODULES 5.1 Bandpass Filters (02-007201 & 01-002503) 5.1.1 Description The bandpass filters are multi-section designs with a bandwidth dependent upon the passband frequencies, (both tuned to customer requirements). The response shape is basically Chebyshev with a passband design ripple of 0.1dB. The filters are of slot coupled, folded combline design, and are carefully aligned during manufacture in order to optimise the insertion loss, VSWR and intermodulation characteristics of the unit. The tuned elements are silver-plated to reduce surface ohmic losses and maintain a good VSWR figure and 50 load at the input and output ports. Being passive devices, the bandpass filters should have an extremely long operational life and require no maintenance. Should a filter be suspect, it is usually most time efficient to replace the module rather than attempt repair or re-tuning. 5.1.2 Technical Specification (02-007201) PARAMETER SPECIFICATION Response Type Chebyshev Frequency Range:

They are specialist narrow-band 3 port devices, designed with rejection and power handling as the main criteria. Being passive devices, the hybrid couplers should be maintenance free over their entire lifetime and have an extremely high MTBF figure. It is not recommended that the top cover be removed or any of the internal components needlessly touched, since the original factory alignment/tuning would be extremely hard to reproduce in a field environment. 5.9.2 Technical Specification PARAMETER SPECIFICATION Frequency Range: 140-175 MHz Bandwidth: 10% of fo Insertion Loss: 3.5dB Rejection: -18dB Impedance: 50 V.S.W.R: 1.2:1 Input to input isolation: >20dB Connectors: Type N Standard Dimensions: 140 x 120 x 35mm Power rating: 50Watts Weight: 0.5kg H/book Number:-50-078001HBKM Issue No:-A Date:-02/09/2004 Page:-56 of 88 800MHz & VHF Cell Enhancers Maintenance Handbook 5.10 Crossband Coupler (07-005705) 5.10.1 Description The purpose of a crossband coupler is to either combine/split transmission signals from different parts of the frequency spectrum. The crossband coupler fitted here, is the means by which the separate VHF and UHF frequency band signals are mixed to form a composite RF signal. It basically comprises of a 3 port device, two filters, one a low pass the other a high pass, that are then mixed and fed to a common output. The couplers are built into a machined aluminium casing having a centre screening wall between the filter sections and lid secured by screws at frequent intervals over its perimeter to obtain a tight seal and to ensure linearity and stability of response. 5.10.2 Technical Specification PARAMETER Passband 250MHz: 70-250MHz 380MHz: 380-960MHz Power Rating: 50 Watts (CW) SPECIFICATION Number of Input ports: 2 Number of Output ports: 1 Insertion loss: 0.5 dB

They are formally known as directional couplers as they couple power from the RF mainline in one direction only. Various constructional techniques are used depending on the specification required. These include microstrip, stripline, coaxial cable and capacitive types. 5.11.2 Technical Specification PARAMETER SPECIFICATION Frequency range: 170 2200MHz Insertion Loss: <0.3dB Coupling level: -6dB Rejection: N/A Weight: <200gms Connectors: N type, female operation:

Were this not to be the case, two simultaneous transmissions could interfere to create intermodulation products, especially in the non-linear power amplifier output stages of the transmitters. Whilst this effect would not affect the intelligibility of the two original transmissions, a further two new transmissions would be created which could themselves cause interference to third party users. The ferrite isolator is a ferro-magnetic device, which has directional properties. In the forward direction, RF arriving at the input is passed to the output with minimal attenuation. In the reverse direction, RF arriving at the output due to reflected power from a badly matched load, or due to coupling with another transmitter, is routed into an RF load where it is absorbed. The isolator therefore functions to prevent reflected RF energy reaching the power amplifier where it could cause intermodulation products or premature device failure. 5.12.2 Technical Specification PARAMETER SPECIFICATION Frequency range: 150-300MHz Bandwidth (% of centre frequency): 2 Isolation: 35dB (typical) Insertion loss: 0.25dB (typical V.S.W.R: 1.15:1 (typical) Maximum power: 200Watts (per carrier) Connector: SMA Weight: 200gm (approximately) H/book Number:-50-078001HBKM Issue No:-A Date:-02/09/2004 Page:-59 of 88 800MHz & VHF Cell Enhancers Maintenance Handbook 5.13 Watt 0- -30dB & 0-15dB Variable Attenuators (10-000701 & 10-000901) 5.13.1 General Application In many practical applications for Cell Enhancers etc., the gain in each path is found to be excessive. Therefore, provision is made within the unit for the setting of attenuation in each path, to reduce the gain. 5.13.2 Switched Attenuators The AFL switched attenuators are available in two different types; 0 30dB in 2 dB steps, or 0 15dB in 1 dB steps. The attenuation is simply set using the four miniature toggle switches on the top of each unit. Each switch is clearly marked with the attenuation it provides, and the total attenuation in line is the sum of the values switched in. They are designed to maintain an accurate 50 impedance over their operating frequency at both input and output.

Class A circuitry is used throughout the units to ensure excellent linearity and extremely low noise over a very wide dynamic range. The active devices are very moderately rated to provide a long trouble-free working life. There are no adjustments on these amplifiers, and in the unlikely event of a failure, then the complete amplifier should be replaced. This amplifier features its own in-built alarm system which gives a volt-free relay contact type alarm that is easily integrated into the main alarm system. 5.14.2 Technical Specification (11-001202) PARAMETER SPECIFICATION Frequency range: 10 - 600MHz Bandwidth: 200MHz (as required, tuneable) 1dB Compression point: >+15 dBm 3rd order intercept: >+25dBm Gain: 20dB (typical) VSWR: better than 1.5:1 Noise figure: 3.5dB (typical) Connectors: SMA female Supply: 108mA @ 24V DC Temp. range: operational: -10C to +60C storage: -20C to +70C Weight: 0.4kg Size: 88.9 x 50.8 x 31.75 mm (case only) 5.14.3 Technical Specification (11-004802) PARAMETER Frequency Range:

Any departure from normal bias conditions is a result of device failure, excess temperature, over-driving or oscillation
(excessive power). In normal operation, the Class A bias circuit of the amplifier develops a constant voltage of 1.20V across the collector current setting resistor. The Amplifier Alarm Board is a window comparator device, which is adjusted to sense a departure from this condition. Several different alarm outputs are provided to simplify interfacing, (Relay Contact, Open Collector, and TTL Logic Levels) The basic version of the Alarm Board (12-002801) monitors a single amplifier stage. A three-stage version (12-002201) is used on complex amplifiers where three separate comparators have their outputs logically combined to a common output stage. Failure of any one stage will activate the alarms. Note that the alarm board has a green Light Emitting Diode located near to the centre of the printed circuit board, which is illuminated on Good, and extinguished on Alarm. It is therefore a simple matter to identify an active module failure, by searching for an Alarm Board which has its green LED extinguished. A simple test of the alarm board is possible by shorting across the monitor inputs, pins 1 and 2, 3 and 4 or across pins 5 and 6. This last monitor input is inactive if the board has been converted to a two way alarm board. (Refer to relevant amplifier alarm wiring diagram.) 1) 2) 3) In systems using simplex channel switching, it is necessary to be able to distinguish between a normal switching operation and erroneous modes where faults in the detector circuitry may cause data errors but not necessarily fire the alarms. The simplex alarm board is designed to differentiate between normal and spurious switching signals There are two selectable link options on the three-way board:
LINK1 - Removed to convert to two-way alarm board. LINK2 - Removed to isolate 0V from chassis earth. The one way alarm board only has the 0V isolation link (LINK2) fitted.

The simplex alarm/mute board is designed to differentiate between normal and spurious switching signals for single or multiple stage amplifiers. 5.19 Simplex Controller PCB (12-002811) 5.19.1 Description The Simplex controller logic PCB monitors the receiver squelch output for a signal change and activates the supply switching for either the uplink or down link path accordingly. In normal operation, the low level Rx path is activated, and the associated Tx path is switched off. When a signal is detected by the Rx Squelch module, the Rx squelch output goes low
(0v), which triggers the controller logic PCB. The PCB mutes the power supply to the opposite path Rx LNAs and switches on the power to the output power stage. In order to prevent the power stage noise blocking the opposite paths low level receiver, the power amplifier is normally muted.

Typically it is used to derive 5, 8, 12 or 15V from a 24V input. The circuit is based upon a pair of LM257 series variable voltage regulators (LM2576, 12 &
15V & LM2575, 5V), which are each capable of supplying an absolute maximum of 1.5A output current. Note that at full output current, the dissipation of the device must remain within design limits, bearing in mind the voltage which is being dropped across it. The maximum allowable dissipation will also depend on the efficiency of the heatsink on which the device is mounted. 5.20.1 Technical Specification PARAMETER SPECIFICATION Operating Voltage: 21 27V DC Output Voltage: 12V & 12V (typical) Output Current: 1.0A (maximum per o/p) Temperature Range Connections: Screw Terminal Block operational: -10C to +60C storage -20C to +70C PCB Size: 85 x 63mm H/book Number:-50-078001HBKM Issue No:-A Date:-02/09/2004 Page:-69 of 88 800MHz & VHF Cell Enhancers Maintenance Handbook 5.21 Simplex Squelch & AF Module (17-002802) 5.21.1 Description The difference in signal levels between the paths means that the channel modules would latch onto any signal in the band rather than a signal at the desired channel frequency. This is achieved, in part, to having the de-sense module, (which is controlled by the Simplex Rx squelch unit), apply maximum attenuation (via an AGC attenuator unit) to the downlink path, when the uplink is active. 5.21.2 Technical Specification PARAMETER SPECIFICATION Frequency range: 80-260MHz Bandwidth: 20MHz (tuned to spec.)

This is generally fitted in the Uplink path (not usually needed in the downlink path, as the signal here is at an almost constant level), to avoid overloading the input amplifiers should a mobile be operated very close to the unit. The AFL wide dynamic range Automatic Gain Control system consists of two units, a detector/amplifier and an attenuator. The logarithmic detector/amplifier unit is inserted in the RF path on the output of the power amplifier, and the attenuator is situated in the RF path between the 1st and 2nd stages of amplification. Normally the attenuator is at minimum attenuation. The detector/amplifier unit monitors the RF level being delivered by the power amplifier, and when a certain threshold is reached it begins to increase the value of the attenuator to limit the RF output to the (factory set) threshold. Therefore overloading of the power amplifier is avoided. The factory set threshold is 1dB below the Enhancer 1dB compression point. Some adjustment of this AGC threshold level is possible, a 10dB range is mostly achieved. It is not recommended under any circumstances to adjust the AGC threshold to a level greater than the 1dB compression point as system degradation will occur. The detector comprises of a 50 transmission line with a logarithmic amplifier which samples a small portion of the mainline power. The sampled signal is amplified and fed to a conventional half wave diode rectifier, the output of which is a DC voltage logarithmically proportional to the RF input signal. This DC voltage is passed via an inverting DC amplifier with integrating characteristics, to the output, which drives the attenuation control line of the corresponding AGC attenuator. This unit is fitted at some earlier point in the RF circuit. For small signals, below AGC onset, the output control line will be close to 12V and the AGC attenuator will have minimum attenuation. As the signal level increases the control line voltage will fall, increasing the attenuator value and keeping the system output level at a constant value. The AGC onset level is adjusted by the choice of sampler resistor R1 and by the setting of potentiometer VR1, (factory set @ time of system test) do not adjust unless able to monitor subsequent RF levels. The attenuator comprises a 50 P.I.N diode, voltage-variable attenuator with a range of 3 to 30dB. The attenuation is controlled by a DC voltage which is derived from the associated AGC detector unit. Note that the log detector module is used with an associated controller board, in the duplex shelves for detecting the presence of signals to be muted/amplified.

For each Downlink and Uplink channel frequency, subtract the appropriate synthesiser offset frequency from the required operational frequency and record the resulting local oscillator frequencies. Divide each Downlink and Uplink local oscillator frequency by the synthesiser channel spacing and check that the result is an integer (ie: no remainder). If the synthesiser division ratio is not an integer value, check the required operational frequency and repeat the calculation checking for mistakes. Convert the required local oscillator frequency to synthesiser programming switch state patterns according to the following table. NOTE: Ensure that the correct column is used from the table below according to the synthesiser channel spacing of the particular channel modules fitted to the Cell Enhancer.

One channel selectivity module is required for each channel. The Channel Selectivity Module is an Up/Down frequency converter that mixes the incoming channel frequency with a synthesised local oscillator, so that it is down-converted to an Intermediate Frequency (IF) in the upper HF range. An eight pole crystal filter in the IF amplifier provides the required selectivity to define the operating passband of the Cell Enhancer to a single PMR channel. The same local oscillator then converts the selected IF signal back to the channel frequency. Selectivity is obtained from a fixed bandwidth block filter operating at an intermediate frequency (IF) in the low VHF range. This filter may be internal to the channel selectivity module (Crystal or SAW filter) or an externally mounted bandpass filter, (LC or Helical Resonator). Various IF bandwidths can therefore be accommodated. A synthesized Local Oscillator is employed in conjunction with high performance frequency mixers, to translate between the signal frequency and IF. The operating frequency of each channel selectivity module is set by the programming of channel selectivity module frequencies and is achieved digitally, via hard wired links, banks of DIP switches, or via an onboard RS232 control module, providing the ability to remotely set channel frequencies. Automatic Level Control (ALC) is provided within each channel selectivity module such that the output level is held constant for high level input signals. This feature prevents saturation of the output mixer and of the associated amplifiers. Alarms within the module inhibit the channel if the synthesised frequency is not locked. The synthesiser will not usually go out of lock unless a frequency far out of band is programmed. The channel selectivity module is extremely complex and, with the exception of channel frequency programming within the design bandwidth, it cannot be adjusted or repaired without extensive laboratory facilities and the necessary specialised personnel. If a fault is suspected with any channel selectivity module it should be tested by substitution and the complete, suspect module should then be returned to AFL for investigation.

It is equipped with two dual pole change-over relays RL1 and RL2, with completely isolated wiring, accessed via screw terminals. Both relays are provided with polarity protection diodes and diodes for suppressing the transients caused by "flywheel effect" which can destroy switching transistors or induce spikes on neighbouring circuits. Its common use is to amalgamate all the alarm signals into one, volts-free relay contact pair for the main alarm system. Note that the board is available for different voltages (12 or 24V) depending on the type of relays fitted at RL1 and RL2. 5.25.2 Technical Specification PARAMETER SPECIFICATION Operating voltage: 8 to 30V (floating earth) Alarm Threshold: Vcc - 1.20 volt +15%

When a pre-set value has been reached (usually 21.5V DC) the unit will disconnect the batteries to prevent a deep discharge state which, if allowed to continue, could irreparably damage the batteries, necessitating replacement. The units other function is to regulate the battery voltage to the cell enhancer equipment to 23.5V when in back-up mode (the terminal voltage of fully charged batteries is likely to be higher than 27V, and therefore potentially damaging to electronics in the system). 5.26.2 Technical Specification PARAMETER SPECIFICATION Operating voltage: 9-16V Low voltage cut-off point: 10.5V (factory set) Temperature range operation: -10C to +55C storage: -20C to +70C Weight: <1kg Size: 109.98 x 55.88mm 5.27 Crystal Filters (93-980109) 5.27.1 Description Crystal filters are fitted at the inputs and outputs of the simplex/duplex shelves (instead of bandpass filters) in order to maximise the excellent isolation and rejection characteristics of these narrow-band devices. It is easier to achieve close channel spacing using crystal filters, however, due to the increased insertion losses, higher gain amplification is needed when they are utilised. 5.28 IXFN170N10 Power Mos-Fet Module (94-030015) 5.28.1 Description This power module is simply a power MOS-FET transistor which is the series regulator for the main 24V DC battery output voltage rail. It is enabled/disabled from the discriminator module, (see section 5.2) has fast switch-off characteristics and a low forward volt drop. It is attached to a heatsink assembly mounted on the side of the case.

The heavy-duty diodes prevent any reverse current from flowing back to their source or the alternative supply rail. Combining diodes such as these will also be used if the equipment is to be powered from external back-up batteries. 5.30 15V Switch-Mode PSU (96-300054) 5.30.1 Description The power supply unit is a switched-mode type capable of supplying 15V DC at 27Amps continuously. The amplifiers in this unit will draw approximately 20-22Amps at 24V DC, so the PSU will be used conservatively ensuring a long operational lifetime. No routine maintenance of the PSU is required. If a fault is suspected, then the output voltage from the power supply may be measured on its output terminals. This is typically set to 15.2V. The adjustment potentiometer will be found close to the DC output terminals. All the PSUs used in AFL Cell Enhancers are capable of operation from either 110 or 220V nominal AC supplies. The line voltage is sensed automatically, so no adjustment or link setting is needed by the operator. 5.30.2 Technical Specification AC Input Supply:

This will help both the installation personnel and AFL should these figures be needed for future reference or diagnosis. 6.1.1 Rack Mounted Equipment Installation will be a matter of securing each shelf into its appropriate place in the rack cabinet, connecting all the cables (RF, DC and alarm) to their correct ports/connectors and system testing (at the customers discretion) to prove the original specification. Care should be exercised when moving the 8U chassis as the weight may surprise an operator. Power should not be applied until all connections have been double-checked and verified. 6.1.2 Wall Mounted Equipment The size and weight of the wall mounting enclosure(s) mean that they represent a significant weight hazard when fitting. In the interests of safety this should be done before any electrical, RF, or alarm connections are made. The equipment must be located on a perpendicular, flat surface that is made from a material suitable for bearing the weight of the whole assembly with attached cables. If the installer is in any doubt about the suitability of a site it is recommended that he consult with an appropriately qualified Structural Engineer. It is important in determining the location of the units that space is allowed for access to the front and underneath of the equipment. To enable maintenance to be carried out, the door must be able to open fully. The location should be served with a duct to allow the entry of cables into the equipment. 6.1.3 Electrical Connections The power supply is connected to the equipment via an IP65 connector located on the bottom or side surface. It is recommended that the connection is made by a qualified electrician, who must satisfy himself that the supply will be the correct voltage and of sufficient capacity. All electrical and RF connection should be completed and checked prior to power being applied for the first time. Ensure that connections are kept clean and are fully tightened. H/book Number:-50-078001HBKM Issue No:-A Date:-02/09/2004 Page:-81 of 88 800MHz & VHF Cell Enhancers Maintenance Handbook 6. 6.1.4 RF Connections Commissioning All RF connections are made to the cable termination, located on the bulkhead at the rear of the equipment at floor level (rack equipment). Care must be taken to ensure that the correct connections are made with particular attention made to the base station Tx/Rx ports. In the event that the base transmitter is connected to the Rx output of the rack, damage to the equipment will be done if the base station transmitter is then keyed. Again, ensure that connections are kept clean and are fully tightened. 6.2 Once all connections are made the equipment is ready for commissioning. To commission the system the test equipment detailed in Section 7.2 will be required. Using the system diagrams and the end-to-end test specification, the equipment should be tested to ensure correct operation. On initial power up the system alarm indicators on the front panels of the equipment should be checked. A red LED illuminated indicates a fault in an amplifier module that must be investigated before proceeding with the commissioning. A green LED on the door illuminates, to indicate that the power supply is connected and active. In the event that any part of the system does not function correctly as expected, check all connections to ensure that they are to the correct port, that the interconnecting cables are not faulty and that they are tightened. The majority of commissioning difficulties arise from problems with the interconnecting cables and connectors. Quick Fault Checklist 6.3 All AFL equipment is individually tested to specification prior to despatch. Failure of this type of equipment is not common. Experience has shown that a large number of fault conditions relating to installations result from simple causes often occurring as result of transportation, unpacking and installation. Below are listed some common problems which have resulted in poor performance or an indicated non-functioning of the equipment. Mains power not connected or not switched on. External connectors not fitted or incorrectly fitted. Wiring becoming detached as a result of heavy handling. Base transmissions not present due to faults at the base station. Modems fitted with incorrect software configuration/and or PIN Ns. Changes to channel frequencies and inhibiting channels. Hand held radio equipment not correctly set to repeater channels. Hand held radio equipment not correctly set to base station. Input signals not present due to faults in the aerial and feeder system. Internal connectors/ports becoming loose due to transport vibration. H/book Number:-50-078001HBKM Issue No:-A Date:-02/09/2004 Page:-82 of 88 800MHz & VHF Cell Enhancers Maintenance Handbook 7. MAINTENANCE 7.1 General Procedures 7.1.1 Basic Fault Finding In the event that the performance of the system is suspect, a methodical and logical approach to the problem will reveal the cause of the difficulty. The System consists of modules fitted within an 8U shelf and housed within a standard 19 rack type cabinet. Transmissions from the main base stations are passed though the system to the mobile radio equipment; this could be a handheld radio or a transceiver in a vehicle. This path is referred to as the downlink. The return signal path from the mobile radio equipment to the base station is referred to as the uplink. The first operation is to check the alarms of each of the active units and determine that the power supplies to the equipment are connected and active. This can be achieved remotely (via CEMS, the RS232 Coverage Enhancement Management System, if fitted), or locally with the front panel LEDs. The green LED on the front panel should be illuminated, while the red alarm indicator should be off. If an Alarm is on, then that individual module must be isolated and individually tested against the original test specification. The amplifier units within the shelf have a green LED showing through a hole in their cover, which is illuminated if the unit is working correctly. If an amplifier is suspect, check the DC power supply to the unit. If no other fault is apparent use a spectrum analyser to measure the incoming signal level at the input and then after reconnecting the amplifier input, measure the output level. Consult with the system diagram to determine the expected gain and compare result. In the event that there are no alarms on and all units appear to be functioning it will be necessary to test the system in a systematic manner to confirm correct operation. H/book Number:-50-078001HBKM Issue No:-A Date:-02/09/2004 Page:-83 of 88 800MHz & VHF Cell Enhancers Maintenance Handbook 7.1.2 Downlink Confirm that there is a signal at the expected frequency and strength from the base station. If this is not present then the fault may lay outside the system. To confirm this, inject a downlink frequency signal from a known source at the master site BTS input and check for output at the remote site feeder output. If a signal is not received at the output it will be necessary to follow the downlink path through the system to find a point at which the signal is lost. The expected downlink output for the given input can be found in the end-to-end test specification. 7.1.3 Uplink Testing the uplink involves a similar procedure to the downlink except that the frequencies used are those transmitted by the mobile equipment. 7.1.4 Fault repair Once a faulty component has been identified, a decision must be made on the appropriate course to carry out a repair. A competent engineer can quickly remedy typical faults such as faulty connections or cables. The exceptions to this are cable assemblies connecting bandpass filter assemblies that are manufactured to critical lengths to maintain a 50-ohm system. Care should be taken when replacing cables or connectors to ensure that items are of the correct specification. The repair of component modules such as amplifiers and bandpass filters will not usually be possible in the field, as they frequently require specialist knowledge and test equipment to ensure correct operation. It is recommended that items of this type are replaced with a spare unit and the faulty unit returned to AFL for repair.

It is important to bear in mind that the system includes a radiating cable network and base stations that may be faulty or may have been damaged. 7.1.6 Service Support Advice and assistance with maintaining and servicing this system are available by contacting Aerial Facilities Ltd. 7.2 Tools & Test Equipment The minimum tools and test equipment needed to successfully service this AFL product are as follows:-

Correct handling of such modules is mandatory to ensure their long-term reliability. To prevent damage to a module, it must be withdrawn/inserted with care. The module may have connectors on its underside, which might not be visible to the service operative. 7.3.2 Module Removal (LNAs, general procedure):
The following general rules should be followed to remove a module:
1 Remove power to the unit 2 Remove all visible connectors (RF, DC & alarm) 3 Release module retaining screws. 4 Slowly but firmly, pull the module straight out of its position. Take care not to twist/turn the module during withdrawal. (When the module is loose, care may be needed, as there may be concealed connections underneath). 7.3.3 Module Replacement (general):
1 Carefully align the module into its location then slowly push the module directly straight into its position, taking care not to twist/turn it during insertion. 2 Reconnect all connectors, RF, alarm, power etc.,(concealed connectors may have to be connected first). 3 Replace retaining screws (if any). 4 Double-check all connections before applying power. 7.3.4 Power Amplifiers 1) Remove power to the unit. (Switch off @ mains/battery, or remove DC in connector) 2) Remove alarm wires from alarm screw terminal block or disconnect multi-way alarm connector. 3) Carefully disconnect the RF input and output coaxial connectors (usually SMA) If alarm board removal is not required, go to step 5. 4) There is (usually) a plate attached to the alarm board which fixes it to the amplifier, remove its retaining screws and the alarm board can be withdrawn from the amplifier in its entirety. On certain types of amplifier the alarm board is not mounted on a dedicated mounting plate; in this case it will have to firstly be removed by unscrewing it from the mounting pillars, in most cases, the pillars will not have not have to be removed before lifting the amplifier. H/book Number:-50-078001HBKM Issue No:-A Date:-02/09/2004 Page:-86 of 88 800MHz & VHF Cell Enhancers Maintenance Handbook 5) If the amplifier to be removed has a heatsink attached, there may be several different ways it can have been assembled. The most commonly used method, is screws through the front of the heatsink to threaded screw holes (or nuts and bolts), into the amplifier within the main case. If the heatsink is mounted on the rear of the main case (e.g., against a wall in the case of wall mounted enclosures), then the fixing method for the heatsink will be from within the case, (otherwise the enclosure would have to be removed from the wall in order to remove the heatsink). When the heatsink has been removed, the amplifier may be unscrewed from the main casing by its four corner fixings and gently withdrawn. Fitting a new power amplifier module will be the exact reverse of the above. Note: Do not forget to apply fresh heatsink compound to the heatsink/main case joint and also between the amplifier and the main case. 7.3.5 Low Power Amplifier Replacement 1 Disconnect the mains power supply and disconnect the 24V dc supply connector for the LPA. 2 Disconnect the RF input and output cables from the LPA. 3 Disconnect the alarm connector. 4 Remove the alarm monitoring wires from (D type connector) pins 9 and 10. 5 Remove the LPA module by removing the four retaining screws, replace with a new 6 Connect the RF cables to the LPA input and output connectors. Reconnect the wires to LPA module and secure it with the screws. the alarm board connector pins 9 and 10. 7 Reconnect the DC supply connector and turn the mains switch on. Note:
Tighten SMA connectors using only a dedicated SMA torque spanner. If SMA connectors are over-tightened, irreparable damage will occur. . Do not use adjustable pliers to loosen/tighten SMA connectors. Also take care not to drop or knock the module as this can damage (or misalign in the case of tuned passive modules) sensitive internal components. Always store the modules in an environmentally friendly location 7.3.6 Module Transportation:
To maintain the operation, performance and reliability of any module it must be stored and transported correctly. Any module not installed in a whole system must be kept in an anti-
static bag or container. These bags or containers are normally identified by being pink or black, and are often marked with an ESD label. Any module sent back to AFL for investigation/repair must be so protected. Please contact AFLs quality department before returning a module.
