V5 Node B Installation Guide General Considerations The following consideration and checks are applicable to all mounting types : The V5 Node B is designed for indoor or weather-proof enclosure use only - refer to Table 4-1. Review the GPS installation guidelines (step 12) to ensure that the location will allow proper operation of the Node B GPS remote antenna. i.e.
V5 Node B Installation Guide Step 4 Mounting Installations This section explains how to mount the Node B Rack Mount shelves into racks. Mounting Rack The figure below illustrates the 19inch mounting rack plus support shelves, some racks or cabinets can use support rails. This construction can be within an enclosure or cabinet. The support shelves or rails are specific to the rack, enclosure or cabinet being installed, thus their specification shall be part of same selection.
V5 Node B Installation Guide Precautions The following precautions and checks are applicable to all mounting types: Connectors have been manufactured to fit their specific cables and function. Do not modify or force connectors. Check Site Plans for engineering approval. Ensure that good ground resistance is available at the installation site (≤10Ω) Where installed in an outdoor enclosure attention should be paid to cooling and water+dust sealing prevention refer to Table 4-1.
V5 Node B Installation Guide Rack Mounting – Installing Radio Equipment Shelf Ensure the shelf or shelf supports are secure, then insert the Radio Equipment shelf into the rack and secure from the front. Notes: If there is no rear access it may be required to make the ground connection prior to inserting the shelf into the rack. Where additional securing is required at the rear this shall require custom brackets depending on the rack specifications/construction.
V5 Node B Installation Guide Step 5 Ground Installation The main Node B ground cable shall use a minimum #2 AWG (Diameter 6.6mm or CSA 33mm2) stranded wire or equivalent earth braid. The ground cable is terminated on the rear of both shelves of the Node B Rack Mount using a terminal that shall fit the M8 bolt on the rear of each shelf. The grounding wire is terminated onto the site grounding ring.
V5 Node B Installation Guide Step 6 DC Power Connection-Control Shelf The power supply input must be a nominal -48Vdc input, refer to Table 4-1. The connection of the mains DC supply is via the cable provided as part of the digital shelf package. The provided cable assembly has 3 metres of cable with a connector to provide connection to the digital shelf. The tail ends of the cable are stripped and must be terminated to a permanent connection junction/terminal block.
V5 Node B Installation Guide Step 7 DC Power Connection-Radio Equipment Shelf The power supply input must be a nominal -48Vdc input, refer to Table 4-1 The connection of the main DC supply is via the cable provided as part of the Radio Equipment shelf package. The provided cable assembly has 3 metres of cable with a connector to provide connection to the Radio Equipment shelf. The tail ends of the cable are stripped and must be terminated to a permanent connection junction/terminal block.
V5 Node B Installation Guide Step 8 Inter-Shelf Connections The optical MMF connections between the Control Shelf and Radio Equipment Shelves are required to be made in the field. The SFP optical modules used in the V5 limit the maximum length for the MMF optical interface to ◊ ◊ 500metres (550yards) for 50/125um MMF 300metres (270yards) for 62.5/125um MMF If longer lengths are required please contact IPWireless technical support for assistance.
V5 Node B Installation Guide The figure below illustrates the front connections of power, antenna and inter-shelf cables between the digital and radio shelves for the V5C configurations. Figure 5-12: Interface Cable Connection – V5C Version 1.0.
V5 Node B Installation Guide Step 9 Backhaul Connections (Iub) to INC The Control Shelf faceplate contains the backhaul connections. The installation can be selected from the following interfaces ¾ 1000BaseT ¾ E3/T3 – optional PMC card on Control Card ¾ E1/T1 – optional PMC card on Control Card The connections are labeled and shown in the figure below. Note: If the Node B is in not in the same site location as the serving INC, there must be no greater than a 5 millisecond delay on the backhaul connection.
V5 Node B Installation Guide 1000BaseT Connection - (Eth) Terminate the Ethernet cables with RJ45 connectors and the cables may be secured to the brackets on the face of the Control Shelf (Figure 5-13). Test the continuity for the Ethernet cables with test equipment consisting of a main and a remote unit. The termination for these interfaces is specified within the datasheets for the interfaces.
V5 Node B Installation Guide E3/T3 Connections – (Tx + Rx) Terminate the E3/T3 cables with BNC connectors and the cables may be secured to the brackets on the face of the Digital Shelf (Figure 5-13). Test the continuity for the E3/T3 cables with test equipment consisting of a main and a remote unit. The termination for these interfaces is specified within the datasheets for the interfaces. The specification for both cables should be 75Ω.
V5 Node B Installation Guide Step 10 Antenna Cabling - Installation Antennae and coaxial cable should be available at the site, and are part of the construction checklist and general assumptions. Two antennae per Node B Radio Equipment Shelf are optimum, allowing receiver diversity and transmit diversity (note: if option fitted), therefore two coaxial cables per Node B are needed.
V5 Node B Installation Guide Step 11 Alarm Connections If local alarms are to be utilised one D-type connector is provided with the Node B Control shelf. The specifications for those interface requirements are below:- Figure 5-16 : Alarm Outputs & Inputs Version 1.0.
V5 Node B Installation Guide Alarm Inputs There are five external alarm inputs are connected via the 15wayD male type located on the Control Card of the Control shelf. The maximum input voltage is restricted to 12V and 2.5mA with a minimum working voltage of 6V. All five input circuits are the same. The external alarm inputs are opto-isolated current loops. The voltage and currents shall be supplied by the external source. The pin-out for the alarm inputs are shown in the table below.
V5 Node B Installation Guide Step 12 GPS Installation & Operation The Node B has an external/remote GPS antenna and receiver. The connection for the antenna (N-Type) is located on the Control Shelf, Figure 5-17. The GPS timing signal is used by the Node B for the TDD frame timing, so that all Node B's in a network are synchronized. The GPS signal is also used by the master oscillator for a frequency reference.
V5 Node B Installation Guide Figure 5-18 : GPS Antenna Connection Version 1.0.
V5 Node B Installation Guide Step 13 TTLNA Interfaces Each V5 Radio Equipment shelf can support a TTLNA, the power and control are provided through the Antenna Coax connections. Notes: 1. RF and Control cables to the TTLNA should not be disconnected while the Node B is transmitting. The lightning protection on the TTLNA interfaces is 8kV/20mS to K21-ITU specification. If further protection is required then shall be added separately at the cabinet or building interface.
