3.3 – Installing the equipment

It is recommended that all peripheral equipment (e.g., repeaters, splitters) as well as the engineeringaccessories should be installed before installation of the Terminal Station.

3.3.1 – Information required for installationAppendix A.1 contains a sheet for you to complete and collect all the general information needed for theinstallation procedure.

3.3.2 – Precautions concerning electromagnetic compatibilityInstallation is designed to meet all new requirements concerning electromagnetic compatibility and safety

The performance of the equipment depends on installation practices (cable installation, ground connections,etc.) which should be based on best trade practices and which may be degraded if these pratices are notrespected.

3.3.3 – Tools requiredThe installation staff must possess a standard installation toolkit (containing, in particular: drill, drill bits,soldering iron, cable tie pliers, terminal pliers). A heating pack is also required for heat–shrinking operations.

The list of tools required for the mechanical installation of the Terminal Station is given below:

Tool Use

5 mm Allen key (for M6 screw) For securing the pole mounting and wall mounting

13 wrench For tightening the U bolts on the 40 to 50 mm tube

Level gauge or inclinometer For verticaly of the bearing axis

To get the commercial codes of these items, please consult Appendix A.5 which gives the connection betweenindustrial and commercial codes.

A compass and a pair of binoculars (not supplied) are useful for rough prepointing of the antenna.

The use of a torque wrench is recommended.


3.4 – Installation of the Terminal Station RT unit

IMPORTANT NOTE: NEVER HANDLE THE RT UNIT BY ITS ANTENNA BUT BY THEBODY OF THE RADIO OR THE SUPPORT ARM.

Considerations:

The installation of the RT unit should satisfy the following criteria:

– unimpeded direct line of sight between RT unit and RBS (Base Station),

– perfect mechanical rigidity,

– enabling precise antenna alignment.

The 9900RT is designed for outdoor installation without any particular protection. However, the followingrecommendations must be respected:

– do not install equipment below bird nesting areas,

– do not attach equipment to a surface prone to vibrations (machinery, lift housing, air conditioning, etc.),

– do not attach equipment to chimneys which give off fat deposits, dust and other aerosols which are liableto come to rest on the equipment,

– do not install equipment in proximity of sources of heat,

– do not place the equipment in proximity to corrosive gas outputs,

– do not place the equipment below roof run–offs not equipped with guttering (high risk of microwaveshort–circuit),

– do not install at man–height to prevent human collisions against the antenna. This could cut the radiolink with the central station.

Two types of assembly are possible:

– on a flat, vertical surface (e.g., a wall),

– on a pole/tube (existing or to be installed), using threaded U–bolts and nuts (M8).

Note : The pole/tube selected should be sufficiently rigid to prevent antenna misalignment and resistvibrations.Use tube supports that comply with our recommendations. Support references are mentionned in thenext chapters.

3.4.1 – Definition of assemblies with respect to chosen polarization

The Terminal Station RT unit can be mounted with horizontal (H) or vertical (V) polarization.

USE THE SAME POLARIZATION ON TERMINAL STATION AND BASE STATION.

To mount the radio/antenna assembly on the support arm, in the event of horizontal polarization, thehorizontal polarization kit must be used. This consists of an additional joint to compensate for the mechanicalrotation of the system.


The pole–mounting mechanical assembly consists of (Figure 8):– two components in the case of vertical polarization (V): wall mounting (ref.1) and bearing mounting

(ref.2);

– three components in the case of horizontal polarization (H): wall mounting (ref.1) , bearing mounting(ref.2) and polarisation mounting (ref.3).

Figure 8 – Support arm components

A polarization slot indicator at the rear of the RT unit can be checked to confirm that the assembly is correctwith respect to the chosen polarization:

– if the letter “H” can be read naturally, polarization is horizontal,

– if the letter “V” can be read naturally, polarization is vertical,

Figure 9 – Vertical Polarization

Vertical axis

Figure 10 – Horizontal polarization

3.4.2 – Installation of the 9900RT on a wall or flat vertical surface

Considerations:

– If attaching the RT unit using bolts and plugs, select the attachment components to suit the compositionof the attachment surface.

– The surface chosen should not be prone to vibrations (e.g., avoid machine housings).

– To mark the drill holes, use the drilling template printed on the inside panel of the RT unit packagingbox.

Figure 11 – Installation of the RT unit on a wall

Stages

1. Select the installation location and determine the polarization of the RT unit.

2. Place the drilling template against the wall (or surface) to be pierced.

Note : The vertical axis of the wall mounting assembly must be respected (see figure 12).Used a bubble level or inclinometer.

3. Drill the 4 holes.

4. Insert the 4 plugs.

5. Install and secure the wall mounting (V et H polarization) using four M6x50 screws with washers.

Note : screw torque = 4,3 to 4,9m.N.

IMPORTANT : VERTICALITY OF +/– 1° REQUIRED FOR POLARIZATION

To continue the hardware installation, go to step 7 in the case of horizonal polarization or go directlyto step 8 for vertical polarization.

7. Install and secure the polarization mounting (H polarization only).

8. Install and secure the RT unit on the support arm. Check on polarization indicator that the polarizationassembly is correct (cf. figures 9 and 10).

9. Release the RT assembly locking screw and carry out antenna prepointing visually and/or using a compassand a map. To do this, orientate the assembly so that the antenna is pointed towards the Base Stationantenna.

10. Remove the radio module from its axis for configuration (see Chapter 4).


3.4.3 – Installation of the RT unit on a tube

Considerations– Install on tube using two U–bolts.

– Installation may be carried out on a newly installed or existing tube.

– The external diameter of the tube is 50 mm in standard configuration.

– The support tube, along with the U–bolts, must be clean and (apart from threads) grease–free.

– If specific site features make perfect alignment impossible (line of sight parallel to the wall, for example).you are recommended to use a support that complies with our specifications (see references in theparagraphs which follow).

IMPORTANT : VERTICALITY OF +/– 1° REQUIRED FOR POLARIZATION

IMPORTANT NOTE: THE USE OF SUPPORTS WITH A SLENDERNESS RATIOGREATER THAN OUR MODELS SHOULD BE EXCLUDED (TOO FLEXIBLE)

Note : the use of supports with slenderness ratios inferior to our own is authorized (more rigid).

Note : slenderness ratio = length / cross–section of sections used.

Steps

1. Select the installation location and determine the polarization of the RT.

2. Install and secure the wall mounting (V et H polarization) using the two U–bolts (and nuts with washers)provided for this purpose, or the attachment hardware delivered with the specific wall mount.

Note : screw torque = 10.5 to 12 m.N.

Note : The vertical axis of the wall mounting assembly must be respected.

3. Install and secure the bearing mounting on the wall mounting (V and H polarization), see figure 8.

To continue the hardware installation, go to step 4 in the case of horizontal polarization or go directly to step5 for vertical polarization.

4. Install and secure the polarization mounting (H polarization only).

5. Install and secure the RT radio unit with its antenna on the support arm. Check the polarization indicatorto check correct polarization (cf. figures 9 and 10).

6. Release the RT assembly locking screw and carry out antenna prepointing visually and/or using a compassand a map. To do this, orientate the assembly so that the antenna is pointed towards the Base Stationantenna.

7. Remove the radio module from its axis for configuration (See Chapter 4).

3.4.4 – Grounding the RT unit

Considerations

– It is not necessary to establish special grounding connection for the RT casing. However the RT unitcan be grounded.

– On the RT unit, the ground terminal is in the form of a tapped hole (see figure 22) on the attachmentaxis of the pole mounting.

– The RT unit can be grounded using the grounding lug and screw hardware supplied with the equipment.

Steps

1. Crimp a lug (ref.: 16–6 CT) on to the grounding cable (16 mm2 minimum cross–section).

2. Screw the cable lug into the tapped hole. Use an M6 screw and onduflex washers.

Figure 22 – Grounding the RT unit

grounding screw


3.5 – Installation of the RT/NT link

Considerations– The electrical connection between the RT unit and the NT unit of the Terminal Station is made using

a type ET 2PA 981 75 ohm coaxial cable equipped with “F” connectors (at the NT side end) and “N”connectors (at the RT side end).

– If a single cable (70 meters without connectors) does not cover the distance between the RT unit andthe NT unit, two or more repeaters must be used. For the possible configurations and installation ofa repeater, see paragraph 3.7.

– If the RT unit is connected to several NTs of the Terminal Station, use several splitters. For the possibleconfigurations, and installation of a splitter, see paragraph 3.8.

– The length of the cable used must be noted. In order to facilitate this measurement, refer to the markingsprinted every meter, on the outer sheath of the cables. To know the length of cable installed, subtractthe number at one end from the number at the other end of the cable used. Note the result at the NTside end.

– You are recommended to secure the coaxial cable every meter with a cable tie. Use collars fitted to thesupport used for the path.

Figure 23 – Coaxial cable

“F” connector

To NT unit

75 “ N” connector

To RT unit

– Physical cable characteristics are :

diameter = 7.5 mm,

maximum installed cable length = 200 meters,

minimal bend radius = 40 mm.

minimal bend radius = 100 mm for a “drip of water”

Steps

1. Carry out the 75 ohm connector between the RT unit and the NT unit.

Note : In the event of the use of repeaters and/or splitters, use the number of cables required by theconfiguration. Refer to paragraphs 3.7 and 3.8.

Note : Make a drip groove where the cable enters the building, respection the cable’s bending radius (100 mmminimum), in order to prevent water infiltration.

AVOID A TOO LONG PARALLEL WALK BETWEEN THE RT/NT COAXIAL LINK AND ELEC-TRICAL CABLES, OR GSM/DCS BASE STATION CABLES.

2. Note the length of the cable installed in the 9900 RT/NT cabling sheet (Appendix A.1). This information willbe entered into the database when the equipment is commissioned using the configuration software.

Note : The accuracy required by the configuration software is + 1.5 m.

3. At the RT unit side end, equip the cable with a type “N” 75 ohm coaxial connector, supplied with theequipment. For attaching the coaxial terminals, refer to the manufacturer’s Assembly manual and use thespecific tools as recommended. One of the main causes of installation problems is the faulty mounting ofconnectors.


NEVER USE 50 OHM CONNECTORS, AT THE RISK OF DESTROYING THE RADIO UNIT,USE ONLY THE N 75 Ω CONNECTOR SUPPLIED IN THE RT BOX.

IMPORTANT NOTE: NEVER HANDLE THE RT UNIT BY ITS ANTENNA BUT BY THE BODYOF THE RADIO OR THE SUPPORT ARM.

IMPERATIVE : PROTECT THE “N” CONNECTOR CONNECTION WITH A PRE–PASTEDTHERMOSHRINKABLE SLEEVE.

Figure 24 – Connecting the “N” connector with the thermoshrinkable sleeve

70

Thermoshrink a pre–pasted sleeve on theconnector/terminal/cable assembly 70 mmalong. (80 mm minimum long before ther-moshrink)The sleeve end should stop at the termi-nal base.

4. Attach the cable to the RT unit using a cable tie.

THE COAXIAL CABLE SHOULD NEVER BE TOO TIGHT BETWEEN THE RT AND ITSMOUNTING.ADJUST THE POSITION OF THE MOUNTING AND THE LENGHT OF THE CABLE TO SUIT,OTHERWISE THERE IS A MAJOR RISK OF ANTENNA MISALIGMENT OR CABLEDAMAGE AT THE CONNECTOR. ON THE OTHER HAND, TOO SLACK A CONNECTIONCAN HAVE THE SAME CONSEQUENCES UNDER THE EFFECT TO THE WIND.

Note : No overtighten the cable tie on the cable; this could cause deformation of the dielectric and subsequentloss of performance.

5. Run the cable to the NT unit and equip it with a type “F” 75 ohm coaxial connector, supplied with theequipment.


3.6 – Installation of the Terminal Station 9900NT (Indoor Unit)

A SPACE OF 1U (in the event of rack mounting) OR APPROXIMATELY 50 mm MUSTBE LEFT FREE ABOVE THE TERMINAL STATION IDU.

NEVER STORE DOCUMENTATION OR ANY OTHER OBJECTS ABOVE THE NT UNITON THE VENTILATION HOLES. THIS MAY CAUSE IT TO BE DAMAGED.

Considerations

– The NT units are intended for indoor installation only.

– The NT should be positioned in accordance with the needs of the user and the technical constraints(e.g., minimum distances to be respected, topology of the connections, accessibility of the RT/NT link,power supply).

– Always place the NT nit in a dry, dust–free environment, away from any major source of heat(–5 °C < T< + 55°C).

– Always place the NCAxxx NT unit near a rated power source: 85–264VAC , 47–63Hz with groundconnection.

Note : Use grounded power connections only. Avoid the use of extension cables.

– The NT to sector connection must be done last, during commissioning (see § 4), TS installation,included all other connections, being completed.

– Do not install the NT too close to the ground (keep at a distance from dust and floor cleaning products).

– do not install on premises containing corrosive materials.

3.6.1 – Installation of the 9900NT unit on a desktop

Steps

1. After unpacking the unit, fit it with its four feet, clipping them on to the bottom of the unit.

2. Connect the NT unit to the Terminal Station RT (”F” connector).

Steps

1. Select a flat, vertical wall surface for installing the NT unit, at a height of over 1 meter from the ground.

2. Mount the four brackets on the unit.

3. Mark the position of the holes on the support with a sharp implement or marker.

4. Drill the holes and insert the plugs.

5. Mount and secure the screw fittings, starting from the top.

THE MAIN CONNECTOR MUST ALWAYS BE AT THE TOP OF THE UNIT

DO NOT STRAIN OR TWIST THE UNIT

6. Connect the NT to the RT (“F” connector).


3.6.3 – Installation of the NT unit on a 19” rack

Steps

1. Fit the handles on the NT unit (see figure 27).

2. Install the unit in the 19” (or other type) rack (screw fittings not included, depending on the manufacturer).

3. Connect the NT to the RT (”F” connector).

Figure 27 – Fitting the NT unit handles

M3x6 countersunk fixing screws Handle

A SPACE OF AT LEAST 1U MUST BE LEFT FREE ABOVE THE ASSEMBLY.

3.6.4 – Earthing the NT units

Considerations– NT casing must imperatively be connected to the main earth with a cable 16 mm2 minimal cross–section

whose length must not exceed 2.40 m. The grounding terminal is on the right of the NT unit (connectionsside) and is in the form of a tapped hole (see Figure 28).

– The earth connection should be made as directly as possible between the unit and the general earthingsystem of the side (bar, rod, plate, etc.).

– The grounding of the NCAxxx NT units is through the 220V main connector; for the NGAxxx units, onlyone earthing point is necessary, after the earthing of all the NT units.

Steps

1. Crimp a lug (ref.: 16–6 CT) on to the earthing cable (16 mm2 cross–section).

2. Screw the cable lug into the terminal designed for this purpose. Use an M6 screw.

Figure 28 – Earthing the (NCAxxx) NT unit

General earthing lug


3.7 – Installation of one or more repeater modules

Considerations

– In the case of a coaxial cable to cover a distance greater than 70 meters between the 9900RT and the9900NT, a repeater module is required to compensate losses.

– Repeaters are installed indoors only, sheltered from dust and heat.

– The repeater must be installed in series on the RT/NT connection (coaxial cable).

– Respect the installation orientation of the repeaters, paying attention to the reference marks on thecasing.

– The repeater needs no setting. It has no individual power supply: the repeater automatically takes itspower from the supply passing through the RT/NT connection.

– The repeater is a fixed gain bi–directional amplifier. This means that the installation instructions andmethodology described below MUST be respected.

Repeater installation instructions– Between repeater and RT unit, the length of the connection (coaxial cable) is variable: from 0 to 70

meters.

– Between repeater and NT unit, the length of the connection (coaxial cable) is always fixed: 70 meters.

– Between two repeaters, the length of the connection (coaxial cable) is always fixed: 70 meters.

– The system supports a maximum of 2 repeaters per route. Route means the path between an NTunit and the RT unit.

First example: length of coaxial cable less than 140 m (here, 110 m).

A single repeater is used.

Figure 29 –Installation with one repeater

Methodology

1. Select the installation location with respect to the location of the NT unit.

2. Install and secure the repeater.

3. Wire the repeater to the NT unit and to the RT unit, respecting the instructions contained in the installationprinciples above.

4. Note the real length of the cables installed. The length of each should be < 70 m. This information will beentered in the database when the equipment is commissioned, using the configuration software.

Note : The accuracy required by the configuration software is + 1.5 m.

5. If the last 70 meter section must be coiled, respect a minimum bending radius of 200 mm.

IN ALL CASES, CUMULATED CABLE LENGTH MUST NOT EXCEED 210 METERS.

Remind : TWO REPEATERS MAXIMUM PER ROUTE CAN BE SUPPORTED.


3.8 – Installation of one or several repeaters with splitter(s)

Considerations– Where there are several NT units for a single RT unit, one or several splitter(s) need(s) to be used.

– For a single RT unit it is possible to mount up to four NT units with passive splitter(s) and 8 NTunits.with active splitter.

– The splitter is installed in series on the RT/NT connection (coaxial cable).

– The splitter has no individual power supply: it feeds the power through from the NT to the RT.

– Respect the installation orientation of the repeaters and splitters, paying attention to the referencemarks on the casing.

– The length of the cable used must be noted. In order to facilitate this measurement, refer to the markingsprinted every meter, on the outer sheath of the cables. To know the length of cable installed, subtractthe number at one end from the number at the other end of the cable used.

3.8.1 – Instructions with passive splitter(s)– The system supports a maximum of 2 repeaters and 2 passive splitters per route. Route means

the path between an NT unit and the RT unit.

– The variable distance between an RT and a repeater is from 0 to 70 meters.

– The fixed distance between two repeaters is 70 meters.

– The fixed distance between a repeater and an NT is 70 meters.

– The fixed distance between two repeaters encompassing a passive splitter is 50 meters.

– The fixed distance between a repeater and an NT, and encompassing a splitter, is 50 meters.

– The fixed distance between two repeaters encompassing two passive splitters is 30 meters.

– The fixed distance between a repeater and an NT, encompassing two splitters, is 30 meters.

– If a fixed lenght section must be coiled, respect a minimum bending radius of 200 mm.

– between the RT unit and the RIT tool: the data transfer bus (“BNO” type connectors at both ends),

– between the portable PC and the RIT tool,

– between the RIT tool and the NIT tool: coaxial cable (“N” type connector at the RIT (75 Ω) and “F” typeconnector at the NIT),

– between the NIT tool and the mains power supply: mains connection cable (to connect last).

2. Power–up the assembly:

– power–up the NIT tool,

– power–up the PC,

– power–up the RIT tool.

3. Run the radio configuration application by clicking on its “kit–install.exe” icon on the PC Windows desktop.

To run the kit_install.exe application from the Windows desktop, double–click on theicon shown opposite. The first configuration screen then appears (see § 4.2.4.2).

Note : The user of the installation software must be familiar with the operation of software in the Windows95, 98 or NT environments.


4.2.4.2 – Application of the RT radio Kit_install configuration

Once the configuration application has been run, the radio parameters must be supplied.

The radio configuration parameters can be supplied to the software in two different ways: in the form of a configuration file stored on an IT medium (floppy disk, CD–ROM or other); the

parameters so obtained may, if necessary, be subsequently modified,

by direct input of parameters via configuration screens.

1. In the case of data saved in a file, insert the IT medium in the PC and transfer the contents of the file tothe installation software.

Click here to go to the next screen

Select language and display the software version

Click here to define theconfiguration file path

Save

2. In the case of the parameters being directly entered, follow the RT radio programming stages describedbelow:

Calculate the maximum RT–RBS distance (cf.A),

Calculate the gain corrections (cf. B),

Define the installation topology (topology screen) in the event of multi–NT configuration (cf. C),

Once the parameters have been entered, the configuration must be sent to the RT radio unit.

Note : To ensure optimum radio link quality, define with care the parameter values in compliance with the realenvironmental characteristics.


A. Calculating the maximum RT–RBS distance

To define the value of the parameters to be entered in the “Maximum length RT–RBS Calculation” screen, usethe installation sheet (see Appendix A.1), complemented by the Radio Planning.To define the climate zone, consult the world map of climate zones in Appendix A.4, if it does not appear inthe installation sheet. Using the entered values, the software calculates the maximal distance betweenRT–RBS.

B. Gain corrections calculation

RF gain correction

To define the value of the parameters to be entered in the “Gain corrections calculation” screen, use theinstallation sheet (see Appendix A.1), complemented by the Radio Planning. The RT–RBS distance must becompatible with the value defined in the previous screen.

As the software parameters are entered, the software carries out the gain correction calculations.If the parameters cannot be accepted, the background colors of the Rx and Tx gain connection windows changeto red. If the values are beyond the system capabilities, all the windows are emptied of their contents and aregrayed–out; it is then necessary to recommence the input starting with the first RT–RBS distance parameter.

For the RT–RBS distance, it must be to within the following margins: 100 m < D < 200 m 20 m max. error

200 m < D < 400 m 40 m max. error

400 m < D < 800 m 80 m max. error

4.2.4.3 – Aligning the RT unit antenna

1. Preparation

IMPORTANT NOTE: NEVER HANDLE THE RT UNIT BY ITS ANTENNA BUT BY THEBODY OF THE RT RADIO OR THE SUPPORT ARM.

Note : To carry out the following phases of the Terminal Station commissioning, the link Base Station must beoperational and its antenna correctly oriented.

Montage

The following equipment is required for carrying out RT antenna alignment:

– the RT unit,

– the RIT (Radio Installation Tool),

– the NIT (Network Installation Tool) or the NT modem,

– an audio headset,

– a No. 5 Allen key.

– the service cable kit.

WARNING: DO NOT PERFORM SUCH ASSEMBLY IN STORMY CONDITIONS; THE EQUIP-MENT METAL STRUCTURES MAY BE A TARGET FOR LIGHTNING.

To carry out RT unit antenna alignment, implement the assembly shown in figure 38.

Help for using the RIT

– RIT tool received field indicator (represented in figure 39): to the maximum received fieldcorresponds a maximum vumeter pointer deviation; as soon as the pointer reaches its maximum stop,adjust the potentiometer to set the pointer back to its center position (these adjustments may berenewed).

Figure 39 – Adjustment procedure using the RIT tool potentiometer

PotentiometerPotentiometerVumeter Vumeter

– audio headset connected to the “service kit” cable: to the minimum received field corresponds a lowfrequency audio signal (headset’s LF tone); to the maximum received field corresponds a highfrequency audio signal.

The received signal follows the curve below which comprises several maximum points called “lobes”:

Note : As the side lobes are rather close (4 to 5) from the main lobe at a rather high level (–15 dB), searchingthe maximum received signal must be carried out carefully to make sure that pointing is effectivelycarried out considering the main lobe (see § Horizontal and vertical pointings).


2. Pointing

Figure 41 – “azimuth” and “elevation” adjustment screw

Presets

– Using the Allen key, slightly untighten the “azimuth” and “elevation” screws so that the RT can moveeasily (marks 1 and 2, figure 41).

– Horizontally direct the RT to the Base Station using a compass if necessary.

Horizontal and vertical pointings

Using the RIT tool and/or the audio headset (see section Help for using the RIT § 4.2.4.3) , perform the followingadjustments:

– Move the RT radio by performing horizontal scanning, until you find a maximum reception level.

Note : If no level is detected, check with the compass that the RT correctly points to the base station. In caseof failure check the installation (polarization, connections).

– Carry out alignment with respect to the strongest signal. To do this, either:

observe the maximum field level on the RIT tool indicator shown in figure 39,

or, evaluate the maximum field level using the audio headset connected to the service kit cable,

– Using the Allen key, slightly tighten the “azimuth” screws (mark 1, figure 41) before performing thevertical pointing, in order to maintain a maximum azimuth reception and make the two adjustmentsindependent (H and V).

– Move the Radio by performing vertical scanning, until you find a maximum reception level.Provided that a maximum has effectively been detected during the previous pointing, several cases arepossible depending on the maximum position in the reception curve (see figure 40):


Note : The following cases are treated for the vertical scanning (site), they are also valid for the horizontalscanning (azimuth).

Case 1 (figure 42): only one wide maximum is found throughout the vertical scanning. Thus the RT is alignedwith respect to the 6 deviation limit allowed.Then slightly move the RT horizontally (by less than 6) to the BS.Perform again vertical scanning.

Figure 42 – Vertical scanning: case 1

Only one maximum is found:the received signal curve follows one of

the side lobes

––> pointing to be continuedThe double arrow symbolizes

the vertical scanning

Case 2 (figure 43): only two remote maxima have been found throughout vertical scanning.Then adjust the vertical position so that the reception level is at the minimum between both maxima.Horizontally move the RT until the main lobe is found, as shown in figure 43.


Two maxima are detected:the received signal curve follows both

side lobes

––> pointing to be continued

Schematization of the pointing to beperformed

Case 3 (figure 44): three maxima have been found throughout vertical scanning, including one maximum ofhigher level (main lobe).Then move the RT so that it matches the central maximum.Use the potentiometer to distinguish both maximum types by varying the received signal sensitivity and thusconfirm that the pointing effectively corresponds to the main lobe (maximum of higher level).Slightly adjust the vertical and horizontal positions until the maximum main lobe level is reached.

RT alignment with the base station is then correct.


Three maxima are detected:the received signal curve follows both side-

lobes and the main lobe

––> pointing to be adjusted to the maxi-mum of the main lobe (point M)

M


Note : If no maximum is detected throughout vertical scanning, it means that the horizontal receptionmaximum is lost, the horizontal position is not located within the 6 deviation range.Then horizontally move the RT to the BS so that a maximum is found and vertically scan again tofind one of the 3 previously described cases.

Make sure you observe the conditions of case 3 before performing the following stepto complete the pointing.

End of pointing

Once alignment is completed:– Tighten the “azimuth” screws using the Allen key, then the “elevation” screws (marks 1 and 2, figure

41).

TORQUE VALUE MUST BE 9 TO 10 m.N. USE A TORQUE WRENCH.

– Make sure the maximum reception signal is always found.

– Completely lock the mechanical assembly preventing the RT radio assembly from misaligning

3. Cabling according to standards– Remove the tools and cables used for the RT commissioning and adjustment.

– On the Radio side, connect the RT/NT connection cable in accordance with the requirements indicatedin paragraph 3.5.

– Screw up the stopper of catch BNO on the radio to allow the sealing of the radio.

IMPORTANT NOTE: IT IT MANDATORY TO OBSERVE THE REQUIREMENTS IN PARA-GRAPH (3.5) ENSURING RT/NT CABLE WATERTIGHTNESS (THERMOSHRINKABLESLEEVE) AND ATTACHMENT (CLIPS).


4.3 – Commissioning the NTNote : To carry out the following phases of the Terminal Station commissioning, the link Base Station must be

operational and its antenna correctly orientated.Considerations

– Before commissioning the NT unit, complete the RT unit adjustment procedures.

– No adjustment is required for commissioning the NT.

– To check the voltage at the mains connector terminals, use a measuring instrument (voltmeter).

– For the mains connection, use only the connection cable supplied with the equipment.

– Never use an extension cable for connecting the NT unit to the power source.

Stages (Figure 45)

1. Connect the RT/NT connection cable. Use ref. 1 connector.

2. To ground the NT unit in this way, carry out the procedures described in Chapter 3.Use the lug and screw hardware supplied with the equipment, ref. 7.

3. Check that the mains socket to which the NT is to be connected supplies voltage compliant with theequipment characteristics and that it is fitted with an earth.

4. (ref. 5)– For NCAxxx: connect the NT connection cable to the NT connector and then to the mains

– For NGAxxx: connect the 48V cable to the HE15–3 connector, then to the 48V arrival.

5. Power–up the NT unit using the On/Off switch (ref. 6); the green “Power on” LED (ref. 3) lights up.The red “Alarm” LED (ref. 4) lights up (searching for the carrier frequency) then flashes at different ratesaccording to the current phase:– slow flashing: automatic scanning over the frequencies,

– fast flashing: frame recovery (authentication by the serial number) once the frequency is found.

4.5 – Initiating services

Once RT and NT are installed and in operational status, service initiation requires a further step: the Base Stationoperator must activate the cross–connections (see User Manual 3CC11771 AAAA TQ BJB Base Station §Client Services and § 6.2 of the present document).

4.6 – Filling in the installation sheet

The installation sheet (Appendix A.1) is initially issued by Radio Planning. It contains all the data needed by theinstaller for successful programming of the RT.The installer must complete this sheet by supplying the requested information, in particular the serial numbersof the installed equipment, then submit it to the supervisor. The information in the sheet ensures the traceabilityof the customer installation equipment, to facilitate subsequent interventions.

The sheet should be signed by the client and the installer. It allows with the customer, the effectivecommissionings to be validated.

The sheet consists of three parts:– 9900 RT installation sheet,

– 9900 NT installation sheet

– 9900 RT/NT connections sheet.

4.6.1 – 9900 RT installation sheet

This part contains all the information necessary for the configuration. The installer must have this informationto configure the radio part (see § 4.2.4.1).For each parameter to be entered according to the Radio Planning, the installer must if appropriate indicate thereal input value if this differs from the value on the sheet. He must also provide the following information: siteand operator co–ordinates.

4.6.2 – NT installation sheet

This sheet is to be completed for each NT in the installation, by filling in the requested information.

4.6.3 – RT/NT wiring sheet

The installer must fill in, in this part, all the information relating to the wiring and to the equipment used forcarrying out the assembly.

In addition, a wiring diagram is to be drawn up.


5 – Operation and maintenance

5.1 – 9900 system supervision

The system operator receives the alarms sent by the network equipment. With the aid of the the 9900LTsoftware applications, the operator can view and analyze the alarms and trigger the appropriate operations (seespecific procedures below).

On detection of a fault, the operator analyzes alarms and starts the suitable maintenance actions.

5.2 – Preventive maintenance

This maintenance is carried out, either during a corrective maintenance inspection, or during a periodicinspection, on all station equipment. It consists in inspecting the units and their interconnections (connectors,cables, sockets, etc.) and ensuring that the environment of the Indoor Units (NTs and RTs) complies withinstallation requirements (see section 3). It is essential to check connectors and splitters state with earthing.In case of doubt, the suspect parts should be checked, taking all precautions to avoid interrupting link datatransmission.

5.3 – Corrective maintenance

DO NOT OPEN THE EQUIPMENT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE

Corrective maintenance is carried out with the use of the programs of the 9900 LT software

To use the alarms refer to section “Alarms” of the Base Station User Manual, ref.: 3CC11771AAAA TQ BJB.

5.4 – Changing a faulty NT unit

Note : The system benefits from E1 or IP links. For each case, use the specific procedure.– if necessary, update the “Installation information” sheet (refer to Annex A.1).

6.3 – Changing an RT

When changing the RT, as needs to be done in the event of a change to the frequency band on the BaseStation, it is necessary to carry out antenna alignment (tracking) and reinitialisation of the radio partconfiguration.

To change the RT:

– turn off the mains supply to the NT,

– disconnect the mains cable,

– disconnect the RT/NT link cable,

– carry out installation of the RT unit and tracking of the Terminal Station antenna. For this, refer to Chapter 3.

– restart the Terminal Station. For this, refer to Chapter 4.

– reconfigure the system according to the procedures in Chapter 4.

For system initialisation and retrofit, refer to section NT Supervision of the Base Station User Manual (ref.3CC11771AAAA TQ).

6.4 – Adding an NT to a cluster

6.4.1 – Case of a pre–wired installation

In the case of a pre–wired installation, for which an extension has been envisaged, the cables are already pulled,the distribution frames and repeaters are already in place and there are load modules filling the free NT locations.To add an NT to a cluster:

– remove the load module,

– connect the NT in place of the load module,

– follow the procedure for adding an NT described in § 6.1.

Note : There is no service interruption and, furthermore, it is not necessary to reconfigure the radio parametersof the RT.

6.4.2 – Case of a non–pre–wired installation

Where extension has not been envisaged, the repeaters and distribution frames must be wired, leading to aninterruption of services. Once wiring has been carried out:

– follow the procedure for adding an NT described in § 6.1,

– reconfigure the RT radio parameters as described in §4.2.4.

Note : You are recommended, with a view to possible future Multi–NT use, to wire as for Multi–NT on firstinstallation. This means that it will not be necessary to reset the RT, so avoiding the interruption ofservices.


6.5 – Affectation of an NT to another BS

To change the Base Station on a Terminal Station:

– delete the NT in the BS with the 9900LT software beforehand (cf. § 6.1),

– declare the NT in the new BS with the 9900LT software,

– turn off the mains supply to the NT unit,

– carry out tracking of the Terminal Station antenna. For this, refer to Chapter 3.

– restart the Terminal Station. For this, refer to Chapter 4.

– reconfigure the system according to the procedures in Chapter 4.

For system initialisation and retrofit, refer to section NT supervision of the Base Station User Manual (ref.3CC11771AAAA TQ).
