Intrepid-HC IDU

Installing the IDU in a 19"/ETSI Rack

Warning! The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intra-building or exposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

The Intrepid-HC IDU is installed in a standard 19" ETSI rack as shown in the following illustration.

Intrepid-HC Installation Guide 1-5

As shown in the illustration, four screws, supplied with the installation kit, are used to secure the IDU to the rack.

A grounding wire is connected below the IDU-RFU interface using a single screw with two washers.

IDU Grounding Notes

The IDU is suitable for installation in a Common Bonding Network (CBN).

Only copper wire should be used.

The wire must be at least 6 AWG.

Single Point Stud

Grounding Wire

Intrepid-HC Installation Guide 1-8

Connector and connection surfaces must be plated. Bare conductors must be coated with antioxidant before crimp connections are made to the screws.

The unit provides a ground for each IDU, via a one-hole mounted lug onto a single-point stud. The stud must be installed using a UL-listed ring tongue terminal, and two star washers for anti-rotation.

For antenna ports, lightning protection is used that does not permit transients of a greater magnitude than the following:

Open Circuit: 1.2-50us 600V

Short Circuit: 8-20us 300A

The current carrying “ampacity” of the conductor connecting the IDU frame to the DC return conductor is equal to, or greater than, the ampacity of the associated DC return conductor.

Power Supply Notes

When selecting a power source, the following must be considered:

DC power can be from -40.5 VDC to -60 VDC.

Recommended: Availability of a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Source), battery backup, and emergency power generator.

Whether or not the power source provides constant power (i.e., power is secured on weekends or is shut off frequently and consistently).

The power supply must have grounding points on the AC and DC sides.

Caution!

The user power supply GND must be connected to the positive pole in the IDU power supply. Any other connection may cause damage to the system!

Site Acceptance Checklist Notes

The following notes provide important additional information about the Site Acceptance Checklist.

1. Antenna Mounting

Mounting pole is of sufficient height to clear local obstructions, such as parapets, window cleaning gantries, and lift housings.

Mounting Pole is of sufficient height, and is safely positioned, so as not to cause a safety hazard. No person should be able to walk in front of, or look directly into the path of the microwave radio beam. Where possible, the pole should be away from the edge of the building.

Mounting pole is secure and perpendicular. A pole that is not perpendicular may cause problems during antenna alignment.

Intrepid-HC Installation Guide 3-6

Mounting pole is grounded as per site specifications. All operators and site owners have specific requirements regarding the grounding of installations. As a minimum, typical requirements are such that any metal structure must be connected to the existing lightning protection ground of the building. Where it extends beyond the 45-degree cone of protection of existing lightning conductors, additional lightning protectors should be installed.

All steelwork is Galvanized or Stainless Steel, as appropriate to prevent corrosion.

2. Antenna

Antenna is grounded as per site specifications. See the third point in the Antenna Mounting section above.

Antenna sway braces are fitted and installed correctly, where applicable. Typically, for an antenna of 1.2 m or larger, an extra sway brace is fitted to the mounting frame of the antenna. This sway brace should not be mounted to the same pole as the antenna, but should be installed directly back to the tower or an alternative point.

Antenna Water Drain Plugs are fitted and removed, where appropriate. Some antennas have moisture drain plugs installed at various points around the antenna. The purpose of these plugs is to allow any moisture that forms on the inside of the antenna or radome to drip out and prevent a pool within the antenna. Only the plugs at the bottom of the antenna, after installation, should be removed. All other plugs should be left in position.

3. RFU (Radio Frequency Unit)

The RFU is grounded as per installation instructions. See the third point in the Antenna Mounting section above.

The RFU polarization is as per link requirements and matches the polarization of the antenna.

4. IDU (Indoor Unit)

The main traffic connections are correctly terminated and crimped as per cable and connector manufacturer instructions. All fiber optic patch leads should be routed carefully and efficiently, using conduits to prevent damage to the cables.

All other user terminations are secure and correctly terminated.

All labeling is complete as per site requirements. Labeling is specific to each customer. At a site with only one installation, labeling may be unnecessary. However, at sites with multiple installations, correct and adequate labeling is essential for future maintenance operations.

Typical labeling requirements include:

Antenna labels - for link identity and bearing

RFU labels - for link identity, frequency, and polarization

Coax cable labels - for link identity, close to the RFU, IDU, and either end of any joint

IDU labels - for link identity

Intrepid-HC Installation Guide 3-7
