User’s Manual for Remote Unit ION™-M17/17P/17P 2. INTRODUCTION 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.
2 Introduction The ION is easily set-up and supervised via a graphical user interface (GUI). Remote units can be commissioned through the use of built-in test equipment. An autolevelling function compensates for the optical link loss making installation easy and quick. The entire system may be monitored remotely via an Andrew OMC. This is a comprehensive management platform with SNMP protocol and X.733 standard implemented.

4 Commissioning 4.3. OPTICAL-FIBRE-CABLE CONNECTION - RULES Optical signals are transmitted by use of optical fibres. When connecting these fibres observe the following instructions. ) Note: Care should be taken when connecting and disconnecting fibreoptic cables. Scratches and dust significantly affect system performance and may permanently damage the connector. Always use protective caps on fibre-optic connectors not in use. In general, optical fibres do not need special protective measures.
User’s Manual for Remote Unit ION™-M17/17P/17P ¾ Remove fibre-optic protective caps. ¾ Do not bend the fibre-optic cable in a tight radius (< 4 cm) as this may cause cable damage and interrupt transmission. ¾ Using high-grade alcohol and lint-free cotton cleaning swabs, clean the end of the fibre-optic cable that will be inserted in the optical connectors on the donor interface box. ¾ Blow out the laser receptacle with clean and dry compressed air to remove any particulate matter.

EXTERNAL ALARM INPUTS AND OUTPUTS G1038Z0 figure 5-1 Flange connector, 5 poles G1038Z0 figure 5-2 Flange connector, 7 poles The alarm outputs (open collector output 5 V / 1 mA) are normally low. In case of an alarm they are high active (5 V). They can be used to monitor alarms with an external alarm indicator. The +28 V pin (for its location see figure 5-2 Flange connector, 7 poles) is protected by a 500 mA thermoswitch.
5 Alarms With the external alarm inputs it is possible to monitor the status of connected devices, e.g. a UPS, via software. All alarm inputs are normally high (5 V) without connection. The polarity (high/ low) can be set via the software at the Master Unit (for details please see according software manual). The device to be monitored must be connected so that the alarm contacts will be closed in case of an alarm (I max = 8 mA). The alarm inputs are potential-free with common ground.
User’s Manual for Remote Unit ION™-M17/17P/17P 6. MAINTENANCE 6.1. GENERAL Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.2. ) Note: The remote unit does not require preventative maintenance measures. ) Note: To prevent malfunctions of the cooling system due to dirt or pollution, it is recommended to clean the heat sink at regular intervals. These cleaning intervals depend mainly on the location of the remote unit and the corresponding degree of pollution.
6 Maintenance 6.2. REPLACING THE FAN UNIT Replacement of the fan unit is not required as a preventative measure. Only when an alarm indicates a malfunctioning of a fan, must the unit be exchanged. ) Note: Please observe that the fan unit can only be replaced as a whole. Do not remove the fans separately. Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.2 as well as the instructions in chapter 6.1 General before starting with the replacement. 1. Switch off the remote unit.
User’s Manual for Remote Unit ION™-M17/17P/17P 5. To mount the new fan unit, re-connect the earth-bonding cable and the fan connector (see step 4). Then, place the fan unit back into its original position and fix it tight as shown below: 6. Screw the whole fan unit to the cabinet with the four tallow-drop screws M4x8 (see step 2). In order not to exceed the specified torque of 330 Ncm, use an appropriate tool. Page 44 M0143AWA_uc.
6 Maintenance 6.3. CLEANING THE HEAT SINK ) Note: Read the health and safety warnings in chapter 1.2 as well as the instructions in chapter 6.1 General before starting with the replacement procedure. Then, proceed as follows: 1. Switch off the remote unit. Make sure that mains is disconnected for the following procedure. 2. Remove the fan plate with the fan unit 3. Use compressed air (max. 5 bar) to from the remote unit as described in blow out the heat sink from back to chapter 6.
