The power supply should be a two wire power distribution with a nominal voltage between 24 V and 60 V DC, any polarity.

Internal Protection Circuits

The radio terminal is equipped with two 5 A fuses (Littelfuse 221000 (=215000 + pins) I2t 82.85 A2s) on the power supply input to the Indoor Unit. These fuses are mounted for safety reasons and can only be exchanged by the manufacturer. The internal fuses are sufficient for protection of the equipment, external fuses are not required.

If additional, external, fuses are desired, the following applies:

• For 48 V power supplies, use a 2 A fast fuse.

• For 24 V power supplies, use a 3.5 A fast fuse.

Power Consumption

The maximum power consumption is 50 W per radio terminal (dependent on traffic capacity).

CAUTION!

The supply voltage must not go below 20 V or exceed 72 V! This is the maximum voltage tolerance of the radio terminal.

WLDM001EnC


WLD

Grounding of Indoor Equipment

Usually, the Indoor Unit is grounded via the rack’s connection to ground. If the rack is not connected to ground, or if the rack is coated so that there is no direct connection between the Baseband Unit and the rack, the Indoor Unit must be grounded via a separate cable. The cable is connected to the M6 grounding lug located on the front of the Baseband Unit (BBU). For this purpose, it is recommended to use a flat copper braid.

If an Indoor Unit is connected to another Indoor Unit that is not hosed in the same magazine, a short grounding cable (< 0.5 m) must be used between the grounding lugs of the two units.

Indoor Electromagnetic Interference (EMC)

The Indoor Unit meets the electromagnetic interference requirements of ETS 300 385.

Use a crimping tool to mount the connector pins onto the cable.

Note: Do not connect the power cable to the Indoor Unit at this stage!

Indoor Radio Cable

It is recommended to mount a surge arrester at the wall entrance as an adapter between the indoor and outdoor radio cable. The surge arrester should be mounted in a copper plate with a low resistance connection (< 0.1 Ω) to ground on the outside. This will improve the protection of the indoor equipment in case of lightning strikes.

It is also recommended to fasten the length of the indoor radio cable to the rack or in an existing cable bundle.

WLD

Fastening the Mast Mounting Bracket

Recommended mounting of the Antenna/RF Unit

It is recommended to mount the Antenna/RF Unit within a limiting angle of 45° originating from the top of the mast. This will protect the Antenna/RF Unit from direct lightning strikes.

If the recommended angle cannot be obtained, a mast pole of at least 1 m should be attached to the top of the mast, to secure the desired level of protection.

Grounding the Antenna/RF Unit

The Antenna/RF Unit is grounded via the mast’s connection to ground. To get sufficient protection against lightning surges, the radio cable leading from the Antenna/RF Unit should be bonded to mast ground less than 1 m from the Antenna/RFU. For this purpose, it is recommended to use the applicable accessory in the Grounding Kit.

Table 23 Outdoor Environmental Accessories

‰ Grounding the Radio Cables

Besides bonding the radio cable to mast ground 1 m from the RFU, see Grounding the Antenna/RF Unit above, it is recommended to ground the cable at the foot of the mast and before entering a building. If the distance between two of these grounding points exceeds 50 m, it is recommended to bond/ground the radio cable also every 50 m. See the figure below.

If a surge arrester is mounted in the wall, it should be mounted in a copper plate with a low resistance connection (< 0.1 Ω) to ground on the outside. This will improve the protection of the indoor equipment in case of lightning strikes.

Traffic Routing in the Indoor Unit

Model for traffic channel connections

A radio terminal transmits all traffic channels connected to its RF side. You can connect the traffic channels from a TIU to the RF side of the same radio terminal. To let another radio terminal transmit them, you can cross-connect them to the RF side of a backplane partner.

You can cross-connect traffic channels over the hop, i.e. connect a traffic channel on a TIU port to an RF port with a different port number. This means that the traffic channel number for a traffic stream can be different from one end of the hop to the other. This can be useful in a repeater configuration where you want to drop a traffic channel on a certain traffic channel number. For example, you may want to drop a traffic channel on traffic channel number E1:17 to output it on a separate cable connected to the 9 pin D-SUB jack. To avoid confusion, it is recommended that you cross-connect all traffic channels at one end of the hop only.

WLD

Chapter 6: Antenna Alignment

Tools Required for Antenna Alignment

• 17 mm torque wrench

• Voltmeter (0–5V DC) with BNC adapter (the AGC contact on the RFU is of BNC socket type).

Preparations1. Check that all relevant instructions in the preceding

sections of this manual are completed for both installation sites before you start aligning the antennas.

2. Arrange for speech communication between the installation sites if possible. This will make it easier to align the antennas correctly.

Alignment Procedure

When aligning the antennas, the AGC port on the RFU (BNC connector) is used to indicate the Received Signal Level (RSL). Use a standard multimeter with a BNC adapter to measure the AGC voltage. The AGC voltage is somewhere in the range 0–5V DC.

The AGC voltage from the BBU is updated every 0.2 sec. So, when the antenna has been moved, the resulting AGC voltage may be slightly delayed. A digital voltmeter also has a slight delay. This means that you should allow 0.5 - 1 sec to pass before checking the AGC voltage, after moving the antenna.

M001EnC 103

Installation ManualInstallation ManualInstallation ManualInstallation ManualChapter 6: Antenna Alignment

104

Note: The alignment procedure should be performed for one antenna at a time. If the initial alignment error is large, however, you may need to begin by moving both antennas to achieve contact.

1. Connect the voltmeter to the AGC port on the RFU.

The voltmeter will always show a value of at least 0.5V if the radio terminal is working correctly.

If the antenna is receiving an unknown signal, or a signal from a radio terminal which has the wrong security code, the voltmeter will show an oscillating value.

2. Maximize the voltmeter value by using the azimuth and elevation screws to adjust the antenna. The maximum possible adjustment is ±15 degrees in azimuth and ±20 degrees in elevation.

Note: If the alignment error is more than approximately 4 degrees, there is a risk that the maximum AGC voltage that you have found is for a side lobe. The maximum value of the AGC voltage is lower for a side lobe than for the main lobe.

– Azimuth fine tuningLoosen the two bolts (A) 1/2 turn. Use the azimuth screw (B) to adjust the antenna.

– Elevation fine tuningLoosen the three bolts (C) 1/2 turn. Use the elevation screw (D) to adjust the antenna.

Note: Do not loosen the bolts too much. There should be a slight friction when aligning the antenna.

3. Use the torque wrench to secure the antenna position by tightening the bolts for both azimuth and elevation. These are indicated in the figure above (A and C).

Note: The torque should be 35 Nm ± 10% when tightening the screws. The azimuth and elevation screws must not be touched after the locking screws have been tightened.

• On command only: You must manually change the redundancy states for the radio terminals when a failure occurs.

• Mutual agreement: When an event configured to trigger a switch occurs in one of the radio terminals, the terminal will verify with the other terminal that the criteria for switching are fulfilled before changing the redundancy states for the terminals.

• Autonomously: When an event configured to trigger a switch occurs in one of the radio terminals, the terminal will verify itself that the criteria for switching are fulfilled before autonomously changing the redundancy states for both terminals.

Time after switch during which a reverse switch is inhibited

Enter the time (seconds) after a switch during which the redundancy state can not be switched back.

The inhibition time prevents an active alarm from forcing recurrent redundancy state switches. It is only applicable for the switch modes "Mutual agreement" and "Autonomously".

Traffic Channels in a 1+1 Configuration

For a radio terminal used in a 1+1 protected configuration, you must connect the traffic channels straight through from the TIU to the RF side. The two radio terminals used in the redundancy configuration have a combined traffic capacity corresponding to one radio terminal, i.e. you can only connect each traffic channel in one of the radio terminals, not both. Only those traffic channels not already connected in the redundancy partner are available for connection in the other radio terminal. The Cross-connect function will automatically route the traffic channels from the standby terminal to the active terminal, so that all traffic channels are transmitted by the active terminal.

Redundancy partner position

Select the backplane partner that should work together with the radio terminal in the redundancy configuration.

It is possible to select backplane positions regardless of whether a radio terminal is present or not. It is not possible to select the backplane position for this terminal, or to select backplane partners already part of another redundancy configuration.
