2. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION 2.1. PURPOSE Cellular telephone systems transmit signals in two directions between base transceiver station (BTS) and mobile stations (MS) within the signal coverage area. If weak signal transmissions occur within the coverage area because of indoor applications, topological conditions or distance from the transmitter, extension of the transmission range can be achieved by means of an optical distribution system.
The ION-M17P/26 EU has been specifically tested and optimized for CDMA2000, EV-DO, WCDMA, and UMTS. Furthermore, it is provisioned for future improvements to the modulation (e.g. HSDPA and OFDM) and frequency bands such as WiMAX. The ION is easily set-up and supervised via a graphical user interface (GUI). Extension Units can be commissioned through the use of built-in test equipment with a minimum of commissioning required. The entire system may be monitored remotely via an Andrew OMC.
The Extension Unit (EU) supports the TDD mechanism for a SISO * channel with multiple carriers up to an instantaneous bandwidth of 30 MHz. The TDD switching information is retrieved for the WiMAX signal by analyzing the associated DL Map in the master unit. For the RU and the attached EU the alarm and control information is exchanged with Master Unit on a sub carrier. At the Master Unit the alarms can be presented to the BTS via alarm contact relays or can be sent to the Andrew OMC.
3. COMMISSIONING 3.1. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 3.1.1. General Read the health and safety warnings in section 1.2 Health and Safety Warnings. 1. Do not install the unit in a way or at a place where the specifications outlined in the Environmental and Safety Specifications leaflet of the manufacturer are not met. 2. It is strongly recommended to install the unit vertically. 3. When mounting the Remote Unit, the connector flange (illustrated in chapter 3.2.
6. Due to power dissipation, the Remote Unit may reach a very high temperature. Ensure sufficient airflow for ventilation. Above and below the unit a minimum distance of 300 mm to ceiling, floor, etc. has to be kept. Also observe the instructions in the individual mounting procedures. 7. For outdoor installations, the pre-mounted front cover must be installed. 8. For indoor installations where the ambient temperature can reach above 40°C, the cover has to be removed. 9.
3.2. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION 3.2.1. General Read the health and safety warnings in section 1.2 Health and Safety Warnings. 1. This unit contains dangerous voltages. Loss of life, severe personal injury or property damage can be the result if the instructions contained in this manual are not followed. 2. Ground the unit before connecting power supply. A grounding bolt is provided on the cabinet to connect the ground-bonding cable. 3.
3.2.2. Connections Extension connector to main unit Mains connector Status LED N-connectors to Combining Unit figure 3-3 ION-M17P/26 EU, connector flange, exemplary 3.2.3. Grounding Grounding must be carried out. Connect an earth-bonding cable to the grounding connection provided at the outside of the remote unit (see chapter 3.2.2 Connections). Do not use the grounding connection to connect external devices.
After loosening the hex nut, connect the earth-bonding cable between the two washers as illustrated in the figure above. Then, fasten all parts again with the hex nut. The PE cables must have a minimum cross section of 16 mm2. 3.2.4. Connection to the Main Unit In order to connect the Extension Unit (EU) with the Main Remote Unit (RU), use a cable bridge. Connect this cable bridge at the extension connector of the EU (illustrated in 3.2.2 Connections) with the corresponding connector to EU at the RU.
3.2.6. Power Connection Before connecting electrical power to the units, the system must be grounded as described in the previous chapter. Mains power must be connected at the mains connector of the unit (see chapter 3.2.2 Connections). The power supply plug is part of the delivery. The correct wiring of the power supply plug is as follows: figure 3-5 AC mains plug figure 3-6 DC mains plug For the AC power supply connection, a minimum cross section of 1.
3.3. COMMISSIONING Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.2 as well as the description carefully to avoid mistakes and proceed step by step as described! Do not operate the Remote Unit without terminating the antenna connectors. The antenna connectors may be terminated by connecting them to their respective antennas or to a dummy load.

4. ALARMS 4.1. BITe AND ALARMS The Built-In Test (BITe) concept comprises the monitoring of the power supplies, the power amplifiers and the optical interface. All alarms occurring can be checked via software at the Master Unit. 4.2. HANDLING OF ALARMS In alarm condition, an alarm message is sent to the Master Controller. If the reason for the alarm is cleared, the alarm will disappear. Otherwise, i.e. if the alarm continues, a new alarm message will not be repeated.
Disconnect and connect mains. Fans should run. If not, replace the fans at RU. I²C Disconnect and connect mains. Optical alarm Tx Exchange RU. Amplifier “Power (MU: Change amplifier setting at MU Down” controller). Check power switch inside of RU (RUs with door). Mains Check mains cabling. Check mains power. Fan * Status LED off table 4-1 Status LED alarms * only applicable if the RU is equipped with a fan For the position of the LED see chapter 3.2.2 Connections.
5. MAINTENANCE Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.2. Note: The remote unit does not require preventative maintenance measures. Maintenance of the ION-Mxxx should be performed on an FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) basis only. Do not damage the warranty labels on the components, as this voids the warranty. The spare parts list contains only units that can be replaced without tuning or soldering work. Note: When sending back the unit, use an appropriate packaging, see chapter 5.4.
5.1. OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE CABINET To open the cabinet of the remote unit, first dismount the locker by unlocking it with the key (which is part of the delivery) and pulling it out carefully in direction of the arrow marked in figure 5-1 Locker with key. Front cover Locker figure 5-1 Locker with key If the front cover is installed (see mechanical installation in chapter) remove the cover by loosening the four M5 socket head cap screws (circle-marked in figure 5-2 Front and top cover screws).
5.2. REPLACEMENT OF POWER SUPPLY To remove the power supply, disconnect mains, mains cable and DC cable. Unscrew the five hexagon socket head cap screws (circle-marked in illustration below) with an Allen key. Pull the power supply out. Apply heat-conducting paste to the mounting surface of the new power supply. Carefully insert the new power supply. Fasten the five socket head cap screws. Re-connect all cables.
5.3. REPLACEMENT OF FAN UNIT The fan unit is an FRU in the ION-M17P/26 EU. figure 5-4 Fan unit screws Unscrew the three M5x16 socket-head screws by which the fan unit is screwed to the cabinet. Be careful not to lose the according washers. Take off the fan unit and disconnect the connector cable from the cabinet. To install the new fan unit, proceed in reverse order. In order not to squeeze the fan connector cable, take care to position it correctly after its reconnection.
