1 Safety Instructions

1.1 Application

These microwave radio systems are designed to meet environment class 3.2 as defined in ETS 300 019.This class specifies system applications in partly temperature-controlled rooms (-5 C to +45 C, max.95% relative humidity). The systems may be used only under the conditions and for the purpose for whichthey have been developed. For more detailed information, please refer to the Technical characteristicsindicated in the Operator Manual.Installation and Service works may be executed only by technically trained and experienced staff knowingthe hazards that can occur and the measures to be taken for minimizing any danger for themselves andthird parties. Please note all warnings and instructions contained in this Manual. Only service staff should be granted access to the active system. Do not use any installation materials (screws, nuts etc.) different from those supplied with the

equipment or recommended by the manufacturer. Use appropriate safety devices while you are working on top of or near the mast. The system may be installed and operated only in locations with restricted access.

1.2 Protection class

The DRS 155/...-64/128 MLQAM E system meets protection class IEC IP 20.

1.3 Operating voltage

Key word 1-1 Operating voltage

The Tx, Rx, MU PS and OHAU PS modules of the microwave radio system can be operated in the

voltage range from 19 V to 75 V DC. The voltage input is floating, i.e. either the positive pole (standard)or the negative pole can be grounded. The standard cables used for setting up the connection to thepower box (distributor) are dimensioned for the voltage ranges of48 V and 60 V. Thicker cable cross-sections are required for 24 V.

Before switching on the power supply, please check that the operating voltage and supply voltageare identical and that the polarity is correct ( Fig. 1-1).

Fig. 1-1: DC port Sub-D , 3-pin, male

Ensure that the power supply has been switched off before you plug in or pull out any moduleconnecting cables. This applies to both control and operating voltage cables of the Modem Unit,OHAU as well as Tx and Rx modules.If the RPSI module is pulled out or plugged in live, transmission faults may occur in the protection channel.Ensure that the following conditions are fullfilled:

1. No operating channel must be protection-switched.2. The protection switching function must have been enabled or3. the links between the corresponding RPSI and RPS-C modules must have been cut.

The following modules may be inserted in or extracted from the subrack only with the power supplyswitched off:

Safety Instructions Commissioning Instructions

RF/160 CI1-2

For safety reasons, we always recommend to switch off the corresponding power supply unit at thefuse panel before you extract or insert a module !!The automatic circuit breakers must be located in the feeder line of the ungrounded pole.With the standard fuse sockets of Power Box II, the system may be operated only usingbatteries with the positive pole grounded.

1.4 Rack installation

Key word 1-2 Rack installation

System racks (ETSI or 19) must be protected from tipping over by screwing the clips (Fig. 1-2) to the wallor ceiling using appropriate securing material. For more detailed information, please refer to theInstallation Manual.

Fig. 1-2: Rack installation

1.5 Grounding the rackKey word 1-3 Grounding the rack

The racks must be grounded via the protective grounding point located in the top section of the rear rackupright (Fig. 1-3) using a protective conductor (16 mm). The individual modules are grounded via themetal rails of the subracks and rack. For further instructions, please refer to the Installation Manual.

1.7 Laser safetyKey word 1-5 Laser

The Modem Unit can be optionally equipped with two optical modules (SPI) (Fig. 1-6).

The laser used meets LASER CLASS 1 (Fig. 1-5) as defined in EN 60825-1.

Fig. 1-5: Laser class

The laser complies with ITU-T G.957 and features the following characteristics:

S-1.1

Wavelength 1310 nmOutput power -8...-15 dBmPulse duration 6.43 nsBeam divergence ~ 23

The module is automatically deactivated by an ALS (Automatic LaserShutdown) circuit as soon as theoptical input signal fails (e.g. in case of a cable break). In case of a loss of signal (LOS) at the SPI input,

the laser is alternately activated for 2 seconds and deactivated for 70 seconds. Besides this automatictesting routine, it is also possible to switch on the laser manually for 2 seconds or 90 seconds. Afterexpiry of the corresponding period, the system returns to the previous testing cycle.

Maintenance and repair works may be executed only by qualified service personnel.

The laser source emits invisible laser radiation. Laser beams can lead to irreparable eye injuries.Never look into the laser source or onto the connector surface of fibre-optic cables connected, noteven with optical instruments.

Caution!Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified hereinmay result in hazardous radiation exposure.

When opening the RF interfaces (waveguides or semi-rigid cables) while the transmitters are active,health-hazardous microwave radiation is emitted.In addition, this can lead to RF interferences in neighbouring units.Do not look into open waveguide connections and do not stand in front of transmit antennas.

To avoid exposure to microwave radiation, you should always switch off the transmitter beforeyou start to dismount the equipment.

Fig. 1-7: RF interfaces

The SMA connectors of the coaxial cables between the Tx modules, Rx modules and channelbranching networks may be tightened only with a torque of approx. 60 Ncm. A higher torque wouldslacken the SMA connectors at the RF filters when opening the joint. This would lead to a changeof the filter characteristic.

2 Checking the System Setup

The figures contained and described in this chapter can be used to check the correct system setup andinstallation in compliance with the commissioning records.

2.1 Rack configurationKey word 2-1 Rack configuration

All system components are mounted in ETSI cabinets (H x W x D: 2200 x 600 x 300 mm). Alternatively,installation in 19" cabinets is also possible.A fully equipped ETSI cabinet can provide up to 4 RF channels including service channels, power supplyand protection switching. In case of expansions, several cabinets can be installed side by side or back toback (up to 4 system racks or cabinets for a 14 + 2 configuration).An expansion of the microwave radio system (max. 14 operating channels and 2 protection channels) isnormally possible without traffic interruption.

The card slots for the individual modules are numbered in system racks 0, 1 . . . 4.

The modules to be mounted in these card slots are preconfigured in the factory according to thecustomer-specific requirements.On site, the modules must be installed in the corresponding card slots in accordance with theconfiguration lists included in the delivery scope to ensure that all features adjusted will be madeavailable.

In the scope of system planning, configuration lists are worked out in which the assignment of modules tothe individual card slots is defined. In the factory, these lists are completed with the part nos. of therespective modules. These lists are supplied with the rack and must be revised and returned to theproject engineering department in case of modifications.

The internal cabling must be carried out on site in accordance with the attached cabling plans. Eachconnector is marked with the rack no., card slot no., equipment unit and port (e.g. 001/ 414/ MU/ X85).

+ Important: In the complete system configuration, all racks and equipment units must be clearlyidentified by appropriate markings! In order to ensure a secure adoption of the new

addresses, a Reset must be made for all modules connected as soon as anyaddresses have been modified. This reset can be executed using the MSP or by

switching off and restarting the power supply.

3 Waveguide and Antenna Measurements

3.1 Reflection measurement at the waveguide

3.1.1 Design and calibration of the test setupKey word 3-1 Reflection measurement

Reflection measurements are normally performed using the following measuring units and accessories:Spectrum analyzer e.g type 8593E (up to 22 GHz) from HPTracking generator type 85645A (up to 26.5 GHz) from HPPrinter/plotter e.g. type 7440A from HP andTest coupler with accessories depending on RF frequency from Spinner (sweep box)

Optionally, this measurement can also be performed using a "Site Master from Anritsu (see chapter 5"Measuring Units and Accessories").The spectrum analyzer and tracking generator are connected to form the test setup depicted below:

Fig. 3-1: Test setup for reflection measurement (calibration)

The connections between the spectrum analyzer and tracking generator are set up using coaxial cables:

Spectrum analyzer to Tracking generator

Front side: 1ST LO OUTPUT Front side: LO INPUT

Rear side: LO SWP OUTPUT Rear side: SWEEP + TUNE IN

Rear side: 10 MHz REF IN/OUT Rear side: 10 MHz INRear side: BLANKING OUTPUT Rear side: BLANK IN

In this test setup, the tracking generator is controlled by the spectrum analyzer, i.e. all settings necessaryfor cabibration and measurement must be entered only at the spectrum analyzer. At the trackinggenerator, only the type of spectrum analyzer used (e.g. HP 8562A) must be adjusted or selected.(=> Buttons: "RESET" / "CONFIG" / "ENTER" / "MENU Down" => Display: "CONFIG #1" & "HOSTSELECT"; press the "ENTER" button and scroll Up "^" or Down "v" until the correct type appears in thedisplay. Then press "ENTER" again to save this setting.)

Settings at the spectrum analyzer:Frequency range : e.g. for DRS 155/7500: Start: 7.1 GHz / Stop: 7.75 GHzAmplitude : 5 dB/Div

Then remove the short-circuit plate and connect the coupler output to the waveguide.=> Setting at spectrum analyzer: in "MATH" menu: "A - B --> A"

TRACE A/ CLEAR WRITE A

3.1.2 Description of reflection measurement

The test coupler of the calibrated test setup is connected to the equipment end of the waveguide to bemeasured (the antenna being used as "Termination" at the other end). The measurement is nowexecuted by starting a "single sweep" at the spectrum analyzer over the calibrated frequency range (e.g.7.1 to 7.75 GHz). If the reflection measured over the whole frequency range is 25 dB, the required return loss of theantenna system including the waveguide has been achieved and the graphical test result can be printedout with the adjusted measuring parameters on the corresponding commissioning record sheet using a

plotter.If, however, the required reflection is not reached, the measurement must be repeated only for thewaveguide (without antenna system). For this purpose, the waveguide is terminated by an absorber andnot by the antenna (absorber reflection: 40 dB).The reflection measured over the whole frequency range should be 28 dB for the waveguide.

With diversity operation, the same measurement must also be performed for the second antenna system.

Test setup:

3.2 Polarization discrimination (XPD) measurementKey word 3-2 Polarization discrimination

On all radio hops operated in the XPIC mode, operation in both polarization planes (vertical andhorizontal) is provided via one antenna.This antenna is connected via an orthomode transducer (OMT).

+Note: The described measurement is normally performed after antenna alignment and duringcommissioning (see Note in section 4.7.4) if an unmodulated RF signal is made availableby the radio transmitter!

The following devices are necessary for measuring the polarization discrimination: a spectrum analyzerand an adapter composed of 1 (2) waveguide transition(s) and one flexible RF coaxial cable forconnecting the cross-polar path of the OMT.The spectrum analyzer is connected - if possible - via the adapter to the occupied branch of the OMT(waveguide disconnected) [1.] or directly to the Rx branching network (adapter with 2 waveguidetransitions between OMT and waveguide). In the far end, the transmitter is connected to the antenna viathe waveguide and OMT (of the polarization plane connected).The Tx frequency is adjusted at the spectrum analyzer and the level measured (in dBm /set marker) isrecorded.

Then the spectrum analyzer is connected via an adapter to the cross-polar output of the polarizationplane [2.]. The Tx signal amplitude of the MARCONI / RFS UHP antenna measured by means of thespectrum analyzer must be at least 30 dB lower than before. The polarization discrimination is measuredin both stations.

+ Attention: Ensure that the modulation and ATPC have been switched offbefore you executethis measurement!See sections 4.7.1 "Deactivating the ATPC function and 4.7.2 "Deactivating modulation!

Test setup:

Fig. 3-3: Polarization discrimination measurement

+Note: This measurement can also be performed at the equipment end of the waveguideif the antenna platform does not permit a direct measurement at the OMT or if such ameasurement would be very complex.

4.2 Adjusting the SISA addressKey word 4-1 Adjusting the SISA address

The SISA address can be adjusted only via the hardware (DIP switch S1). Adjusting this address bymeans of the Service PC (MSP) is not possible. If the SISA address defined by the customer or networkoperator is available, this address should be adjusted before commissioning.If the definite SISA address has not yet been defined, commissioning is performed with the defaultaddress which can then be changed at a later date.

+ Note: For safety reasons, the power supply should always be switched off before you insert orextract any modules (see section 1.2 Operating voltage)!

For adjusting the SISA address, the SISA0-N module must be extracted from the OHAU subrack.1. For safety reasons, switch off the power supply of the OHAU subrack

(de-energize at fuse panel; not absolutely necessary for the SISA0-N module).2. Remove the screws on the front panel of the SISA0-N module.3. Extract the SISA0-N module from the subrack and adjust the SISA address by

means of DIP switch S1.

4.3 Interface configuration on the QTN2 module

Key word 4-2 Interface configuration on the QTN2 module

Changing from a G.703 to a V.11 interfaceon the QTN2 module requires a hardware setting which isperformed by changing the service connectorfrom X200 to X201 or vice versa. To do this, the QTN2module must be extracted from the OHAU subrack.


Setting: Service connector on X200 => 2 x 64 kbit/s interfaces to G.703

Service connector on X201 => 1 x V.11 interface

Default setting: 2 x 64 kbit/s to G.703 (service connector on X200) !(V.11 interface only required for special applications !)

4.4 Configuring 2 Mbit/s interfaces on RFCOH and SOH Access modules

The configuration of the 2 Mbit/s interfaces also involves hardware settings (straps) and cannot beexecuted by means of the Service PC (MSP).The interfaces of the 2 Mbit/s service channel can be switched over between 120 W (balanced) and 75 W(unbalanced).

4.4.1 Configuring the 2 Mbit/s interface of the RFCOH Access module

Key word 4-3 Configuring the 2 Mbit/s interface of the RFCOH Access module

The RFCOH module can be supplied in two versions which provide the following channels:

Version 1:

4 x 64 kbit/s service channels to ITU-T G.703, codirectional, 1+1 protected. 1 x 2 Mbit/s auxiliary channel to ITU-T G.703, coaxial or balanced, 1+1 protected or unprotected.

Version 2:

8 x 64 kbit/s service channels to ITU-T G.703, codirectional, 1+1 protected. 1 x 2 Mbit/s auxiliary channel to ITU-T G.703, coaxial or balanced, 1+1 protected or unprotected.

One 2 Mbit/s interface can be used per RFCOH module. The required impedance (120 W or 75 W) isadjusted by means of jumpers on the RFCOH Access module:

1. For safety reasons, switch off the OHAU subrack power supply (de-energize at the fuse panel;

not absolutely necessary for RFCOH Access modules).2. Remove the screws on the front side of the RFCOH Access module.3. Extract the RFCOH Access module from the subrack and adjust the required

impedance by means of the jumpers described below.

4.5 System startup and commissioning process

After verification of all items listed in section 4.1 above and execution of all hardware settings required,the system can be started up by means of the automatic circuit breaker of the rack.

After startup, check the LEDs on the front panels of the modules:

Green LEDs (BAT) display normal operation of the modules => supply voltage switched on (ok),operational status: ON (Operation).

Red LEDs (IIII) display a fault orfailure of the modules => must not light up!

Exception: Loss of input signal (LOS) (STM-1 baseband signal) => red LED lit on SPI STM-1 (IIII)and loss of input signal (RF input signal from the antenna) => red LED on the

receiver and demodulator (IIII) => antennas not yet aligned!

All systems are completely tested and preconfigured in the factory, so that microwave radio systems arenormally ready for operation after being switched on. Should any faults be detected, these must beeliminated before starting the commissioning process decribed below. For instructions on how toproceed, please refer to the Operator Manual, Chapter: "What is when", "Trouble-shooting".

As soon as the microwave radio system interacts with the far end without any trouble, you can start thecommissioning process. All commissioning steps to be performed are described in the following sections.
