DC Distribution The DC supply to outdoor BEAMER® arrays is obtained by connecting the DC power supply of the BTS to the DC connections in the panel of the ICU. The DC voltage is supplied via the Tx and Rx coaxial cable coming up from the ICU to the BEAMER® unit or BEAMER® beamforming network.
INTRODUCTION 1.7. Maintainability Requirements The BEAMER® family units including the ICU are designed as units for low Mean-Time-To-Repair (MTTR). The Modular structure of the ICU enables the internal circuits to be easily approached and replaced if found necessary. Nevertheless, only an approved laboratory can do a full repair of an ICU or BEAMER® unit, since such a repair requires a full Acceptance testing.

No. 953002900 This document describes the installation of the BEAMER® system, as integrated into Customer’s BTS. 2.2.
INSTALLATION GUIDE 2.3. Important Safety Precautions The system is supplied following extensive acceptance production line tests. Usually, lab tests will not be required before installing the unit at the customer's location. One should always be aware of the necessary safety precautions, assuring that the BEAMER® system will be fully functional after the installation. Read this instruction guide thoroughly before starting with the installation.
INSTALLATION GUIDE Side Walls Radomes Figure 7: BEAMER® 4X4X1 Pol. BEAMER® array - front view When installing the array always verify that the ICU power is OFF. If it is not possible to turn the ICU power OFF (for example, when other sectors are connected to it), remove the fuse connected to the active Bias-Ts serving the installed array. When replacing or reinserting the fuse in the ICU, always turn the ICU power OFF before removing the fuse cover. 2.3.2.
INSTALLATION GUIDE When testing the units in lab or during field installation, always practice RF radiation safety rules. During lab tests, with DC voltage applied to the array, do not use any PCS mobile transmitter in a range of less than 10 meters from the BEAMER® array. An unexpectedly high RF power might appear at the Rx output, which might in turn damage the measuring devices connected to that port. 2.4. ICU Operation Instructions 2.4.1. 2.4.1.1.
INSTALLATION GUIDE Fuses Backup Battery Figure 9: Fuse and backup battery location 2.4.2. 2.4.2.1. Connecting the Unit to a Host PC or BTS Controller Serial Communication Connector Communication with BTS controller RS232 connector interface is located on the left side of the MOLEX DC connector on the rear panel. It is a standard 9-pin female D-type connector. Table 1: RS232 communication connector Pin # RS232 2.4.2.2.
INSTALLATION GUIDE Caution: The user should not change the setting of these switches, unless specifically advised by Celletra. An unauthorized, uncontrolled change of these switches might produce unpredictable system behavior. The RS232/RS485 DIP switch is the last switch at the far-left side of the PCB, when viewed from the ICU front, as shown in the following figure.
INSTALLATION GUIDE carefully push the battery out. Insert a 3Volt, CR2032 type Lithium battery. The + side of the battery should be pointing to the side panel. Reinstall the front cover. It is possible to replace the battery under live DC voltage applied to the ICU, if one does not wish to interrupt the BTS operation, even during scheduled maintenance. In this case, you should use extreme care not to short the ICU controller circuitry. Confidential, Proprietary Information Title: PolBEAMER PCS (3.
INSTALLATION GUIDE 2.4.4. Bias-Ts In this manual, Bias-Ts are also termed 'sub-array', since each Bias-T can serves an independent portion of an array (i.e., Tx sub-array or Rx1 and Rx2 sub-arrays, which are all physically part of the same array, but are logically independent entities). The Bias-Ts serve four purposes: 1. Supply DC voltage to the BEAMER® modules within the sub-array. 2.
INSTALLATION GUIDE 2.5. Array Installation The BEAMER® array provides coverage of ±45° for the azimuth, ±7° for the elevation at – 3dB points. A mechanical tilt, continuous up to 15°, is provided. We recommend using a 3-4 inch diameter pole for the array installation. The figures later in this section illustrate the installed array with the doors open, showing the Tx and Rx cables connections. The unit should be connected to the main RF cables feeding the array.

INSTALLATION GUIDE The following sections describe how to configure the system step-by-step. 2.8.3.1. Set ICU Operation Mode The ICU configuration setup can only be changed when the ICU is set to SLAVE mode. The default ICU configuration is AUTO. To switch to slave mode use 'save operation mode' command (code 05), with parameter 01.
INSTALLATION GUIDE Sent command Code Data Save ICU system address 03 Response from ICU 101 102 103 104 04 ACK Remarks Change system address from Y to 04 using known ID 101 102 103 104 Note: ICU system address ranges between 01 to 04. ICU address 00 is reserved for system configuration and should not be used. 2.8.3.2. Configuring the Number of BEAMER® Arrays The 'save system features' command is used to configure the number of connected BEAMER® arrays.
INSTALLATION GUIDE Example: To change the Bias-T attenuation for Bias-T #3 (in this case, a Tx Bias-T) to 12dB (=24 or 18H), use the following command: Code 18 (save Bias-T attenuation), ICU address, 03, 18H 2.8.4.1. BEAMER® Array Module Registration The command 'save BEAMER® system address' (code 131) registers BEAMER® module with ID # AA BB CC DD with system address SS. The BEAMER® module ID can be located on the BEAMER® module label.
INSTALLATION GUIDE 2.8.4.4. Configuring and Defining the System Properties The previous commands configured the ICU controller to recognize the installed array and BEAMER® modules. The procedure described above should be repeated for every installed array (up to three arrays can be supported with a single ICU). The following commands define the system properties, and are independent of the number of installed arrays.

INSTALLATION GUIDE Measure or estimate, according to the RF cable's vendor specifications, the RF losses over the Tx RF cable. Typical loss for ½" cable is 0.11db/meter or about 5.5dB/50meters. (LTX-CABLE) Measure or estimate the output power from the BTS up-converter at full capacity (PBTS) Using G BEAMER® (min)=36dB, estimate the needed output from the Tx-ABT: Pout(ABT)=33dBm-G BEAMER® +6dB+0.5dB+ LTX-CABLE Verify that Pout(ABT)<+10dBm.
INSTALLATION GUIDE 2.8.6. Calibrating the Receive Channel Gain The Pol. BEAMER® Rx array gain distribution is illustrated in the following figure. It is assumed that the RF cable loss is 6dB. The shaded circles represent the received system noise level, at maximum available gain and at 1.25MHz bandwidth. -82 dbm 2:1 Rear Combiner [L=0.3dB] Beamer -112 dbm Beamer Array [G=13.5dBi] 2:1 Rear Combiner [L=0.3dB] -82 dbm RX 2 Noise Figure=4db G=30±1dB GC=0 to 15.5dB RX 1 L=3 to 8dB G=6±1dB GC=0 to 15.
INSTALLATION GUIDE The BEAMER® -Rx programming property offers the system integrator the tool for calibrating the system gain, in full accordance with the above rules. The proper trade-off between these rules should be found. As an example, if the two Rx channel are very much unbalanced an excessive gain increase might be required at one channel, causing possible interference susceptibility on that channel.
INSTALLATION GUIDE The receivers gain is set. You can perform gain tests, using one of the above-suggested procedures. 2.9.

INSTALLATION GUIDE 2.10. Test Procedure for Measuring the Rx Gain Balance This section describes a way to measure the gain difference between to RF front-end channel. Following the installation of a Pol. BEAMER® array. The measurement requires test equipment and somewhat involved test set-up, based on mobile RF signal generator connected to an antenna, capable of rotating on the horizontal plane. This test setup is not always available.
INSTALLATION GUIDE 2.11. Smart-Terminal Program Description This program can be used for communication protocol debugging and testing. It is written in Visual Basic for Windows 95 environment and provides basic control on the ICU and BEAMER® parameters, via the RS485 or RS232 serial communication ports.
