2 Introduction 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.
User’s Manual for ION™-M17HP/19P (M-cab) The ION-M17HP/19P is available in a multi-band configuration supporting 1900 MHz and 1700/2100 MHz in parallel and with extension option 700 MHz additionally. It has been specifically tested and optimized for GSM, EDGE, CDMA2000, EV-DO, WCDMA, HSPA+ and OFDM. Furthermore it is provisioned for future improvements to the modulation and frequency bands.

4 Commissioning 4. COMMISSIONING 4.1. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 4.1.1. 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 supplier are not met. 2. It is recommended only to use the mounting hardware delivered by the supplier.
User’s Manual for ION™-M17HP/19P (M-cab) 7. A spacing of 40 mm (1.58 inch) around the unit is required. 8. To ensure sufficient airflow when mounting the unit in enclosed spaces, two lid openings (one for the air inlet and the other for the air outlet) have to be provided. Do not block these air inlets and outlets when mounting the Remote Unit. The size of each opening must equal at least 12 x 12 cm (144 cm2). Make sure, too, there is no thermal short circuit between the air inlet and air outlet.

User’s Manual for ION™-M17HP/19P (M-cab) 4.1.4. Mounting of Fan Protection Since the fan protection is required for the outdoor usage of a stand-alone Remote Unit, the mounting of this optional equipment is also described in this manual. To install the protective cover of the fan protection kit, first unscrew the four screws with the respective lock washers from the cover of the air inlet of the Remote Unit, and instead, screw in the four spacing bolts M4.0x30 with the four lock washers M4.
4 Commissioning 4.2. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION 4.2.1. 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.
User’s Manual for ION™-M17HP/19P (M-cab) 12. The unit complies with the surge requirement according to EN 61000-4-5 (fine protection); however, it is recommended to install an additional medium (via local supply connection) and/or coarse protection (external surge protection), depending on the individual application, in order to avoid damage caused by overcurrent. 13. Observe the labels on the front panels before connecting or disconnecting any cables. 4.2.2.
4 Commissioning 4.2.3. Grounding Grounding must be carried out. Connect an earth-bonding cable to the grounding connection provided at the outside of the Remote Unit (see section 4.2.2 Connections). Do not use the grounding connection to connect external devices. figure 4-6 Grounding bolt with loosened hex nut figure 4-7 Grounding bolt, schematic view After loosening the hex nut, connect the earth-bonding cable between the two washers as illustrated in the figures above.
User’s Manual for ION™-M17HP/19P (M-cab) figure 4-8 AC mains plug For the AC power supply connection, a minimum cross section of 1.5 mm2 is required. Each wire must observe the applicable national regulations regarding loop impedance, voltage drop, and methods of installation. Make sure to connect the correct voltage to the unit. ) Note: * Do not connect or disconnect the power cord at the mains connector while power is on.
4 Commissioning Do not use a tool (e.g. pair of pliers) to tighten the N-type antenna connectors as it might cause damage to the connector and lead to a malfunction of the Remote Unit. It is sufficient to tighten the N-type antenna connectors by hand. ) Note: Directly connect the base station signal to the Master Unit using a coaxial cable to avoid coupling another signal into the system in the DL direction than the single wanted signal transmitted by the base station. 4.4.
User’s Manual for ION™-M17HP/19P (M-cab) System attenuation and attenuation of optical components must be determined. Fiber-cable connectors have to be of the same type (E2000APC) as the connectors used for the unit. The fiber-optic cables are connected to the optical transceiver. Angled connectors are not compatible with straight optical connectors; non-compatibility of connectors will result in permanent damage to both connectors.
4 Commissioning For plug assembly, observe the following instruction: 1. Pass one or two contacts through the backshell and the clamp ring. 2. Place the contact(s) on the lower insulation body by pushing the groove of the contact into the cavity. If there is only one contact, cavity A must be used. * 3. Then, mount the upper insulation body on the lower insulation body. ** Upper insulation body Cavity B Cavity A 4. Bring the insulator into the plug.

5 Alarms 5. ALARMS 5.1. 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. 5.2. HANDLING OF ALARMS A message is transmitted to the Master Unit when the software acknowledges a valid alarm. A new alarm message will not be repeated if the reason for the alarm is cleared or if the alarm continues.

5 Alarms 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. In case of exceeding this current between pin 7 and GND and/or in case of a failure of the VSWR module, the thermoswitch turns into a highresistive status. In this case no fuse needs to be replaced.
User’s Manual for ION™-M17HP/19P (M-cab) 5.6. TROUBLESHOOTING The status of the Remote Unit can be checked via the Master Unit (for details please refer to the software manual of the Master Controller). Locally, the status can be checked at the LED, see section 5.4 Status LED Alarms. Page 40 M0145A0A.
6 Maintenance 6. MAINTENANCE 6.1. GENERAL Read the health and safety warnings in section 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.
User’s Manual for ION™-M17HP/19P (M-cab) 6.2. REPLACING THE FAN UNIT Replacement of the fan unit is not required as a preventative measure. Only if 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 section 1.2 as well as the instructions in section 6.1 General before starting with the replacement. 1. Switch off the Remote Unit.
