2 Introduction

2. INTRODUCTION

2.1. PURPOSE

Cellular telephone systems transmit signals in two directions between a 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.

Such a system contains an optical Master Unit and several Remote Units. The
number of the Remote Units depends on the hardware and software configuration.
The Remote Units are connected to the Master Unit with optical links. The optical
loss must be less than 10 dB inclusive optical couplers or splitters.

The Master Unit is the connection to the base transceiver stations. The configuration
of a Master Unit depends on the number of the Remote Units and the frequency
range.

The optical transmission uses WDM-systems with a wavelength of 1550 nm in the
uplink and 1310 nm in the downlink.

2.2. THE ION™-M7P/85P/17P/19P (INTELLIGENT OPTICAL NETWORK; MMR)

The ION-M7P/85P/17P/19P transports signals on the RF layer in a way that multiple
operators and multiple technologies are moved simultaneously from a cluster of base
stations to a remote location over the same fiber.

The ION optical distribution system provides a coverage solution for dense urban
areas, tunnels, subway, airports, convention centers, high-rise buildings and other
locations where physical structures increase path loss. It has been specifically
designed to reduce zoning problems and to provide homogeneous coverage. The
compact, mechanical design is specifically architected to mount inside of poles or
along side structures in such a way that it has a minimal visual impact.

The ION-M7P/85P/17P/19P is available in single or multi-band configuration
supporting 700 MHz, 850 MHz, 1700 MHz/ 2100 MHz and 1900 MHz in parallel. It
has been specifically tested and optimized for LTE, iDEN, GSM, EDGE, CDMA2000,
EV-DO, WCDMA, HSPA+, and OFDMA. Furthermore, it is provisioned for future
improvements to the modulation and frequency bands. In addition it is backwards
compatible to legacy standards such as TDMA and Analog.

Page 15

User’s Manual for

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 auto­leveling function compensates for the optical link loss making installation easy and
quick. The entire system may be monitored remotely via an Andrew OMC. This
platform uses SNMP protocol and is compliant to X.733 standard.

Should a sophisticated interface not be required, the Master Unit can be directly
connected to the alarm interface of a base station via its contact relay.

areas with strong lightning it is highly recommended to insert additional lightning
protection.

4. If the mains connector of the Remote Unit is not easily accessible, a disconnect
device in the mains circuit must be provided within easy reach.

5. Before connecting or disconnecting the mains connector at the Remote Unit,
ensure that mains supply is disconnected.

6. Make sure that an appropriate circuit breaker and an over-current limiting device
are connected between mains and Remote Unit.

7. A connection of mains supply to a power socket requires the power socket to be
nearby the Remote Unit.

8. Incorrectly wired connections can destroy electrical and electronic components.

9. To avoid corrosion at the connectors caused by electrochemical processes, the
material of the cable connectors must not cause a higher potential difference than

0.6 V (see electrochemical contact series).

10. Use an appropriate torque wrench for the coupling torque (25 N-m / 19 ft lb) of 7­16 DIN connectors with 1-1/4 in opening to tighten the 7/16-type antenna
connectors. For example, use torque wrench of item no. 244377 available from

* Mains power must be interruptible with an external power supply breaker. For the power supply

breaker, observe the following recommendation:
120 Volt / 20 Amp max. or 240 Volt / 16 Amp, single-phase, 50 / 60 Hz AC service is needed, i.e.

the external AC breaker should be 20 Amps max. for 120-Volt service or 16 Amps for 240-Volt
service.

For the DC power supply, observe the local regulations of the DC service provider.

3.5. OPTICAL-FIBER-CABLE CONNECTION - RULES

Main optical system parameters:

Fiber:

Single mode fiber, type is E9/125 µm
Attenuation: <0.36 dB / km @ 1310 nm / <0.26 dB / km @ 1550 nm
Dispersion: <3.5 ps / nm km @ 1310 nm / <18.0 ps / nm km @ 1550 nm
Fibre-cable connectors E2000APC8°

ION-M system:

The specified bending radius ( < 4 cm) of the optical fibers must not be

exceeded.

The pigtails for the connection between Master Unit and Remote Unit must

have a sufficient length. A protection for the feeding into units must be given.

The system attenuation of the optical fibers, including the connectors, must

not exceed 10 dB.

System attenuation and attenuation of optical components must be determined. This
can be achieved by measuring attenuation and reflection with an appropriate
measuring instrument. For pigtails, a total value of < 0.4 dB (measured to a reference
plug) can be assumed due to the dead zone of the reflectometer. These
measurements must be made with a sufficient length of optical fiber, at the input and
output of the device which has to be measured.

Fiber-System Installation:

Fiber-cable connectors have to be of the same type (E2000APC8°) 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.

Page 26 MF0143AUA.doc

3 Commissioning

Before connecting the fiber cables, follow the procedure below to ensure optimized
performance. It is important for these procedures to be carried out with care:

¾ Remove fiber-optic protective caps.
¾ Do not bend the fiber-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 fiber-optic cable that will be inserted in the optical connectors on the donor
interface box. Use a fiber end-face inspection tool to scan both, the class fiber
and its surrounding area.

¾ Check for dirt on the cladding, chips/pits, dirt on the ferrule, and scratches.
¾ Connect the fiber-optic cables by inserting the cable end into the laser

receptacle and aligning the key (on the cable end) with the keyed slot.

¾ Do not use any index-matching gels or fluids of any kind in these connectors.

Gels are intended for laboratory use and attract dirt in the field.

) Note: Care should be taken when connecting and disconnecting fiber-

optic cables - use the connector housing to plug or unplug a fiber.
Scratches and dust significantly affect system performance and
may permanently damage the connector. Always use protective
caps on fiber-optic connectors not in use.

Cleaning Procedure for Fiber-Optical Components:

Any contamination in the fiber connection results in additional optical transmission
loss which could cause whole system failure. It is thus recommended that every fiber
connector be inspected and cleaned prior to mating.
The goal is to eliminate any dust or contamination and to provide a clean
environment for the fiber-optic connection.

When you clean fiber components, always complete the following steps carefully:

1. Turn off the ION system (laser sources) before you inspect fiber connectors.

Never look into a fiber while the system lasers are on!

2. Check the connectors or adapters with a fiberscope before cleaning.

3. If the connector is dirty, clean it with a lint-free wipe (dry cleaning).

4. Inspect the connector.

Page 27

User’s Manual for

5. If the connector is still dirty, repeat the dry cleaning technique.

6. Inspect the connector.

7. If the connector is still dirty, clean it with 99% isopropyl alcohol (wet cleaning)
followed immediately with a dry clean in order to ensure no residue is left on
the endface.

8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 until endface is clean.

figure 4-1 Flange connector, 5 poles figure 4-2 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 4-2 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. Just wait a few minutes
until the thermoswitch reaches the normal operating temperature again.

) Note: The manufacturer / supplier of this system accepts no liability for

damage caused by equipment connected to external outputs or by
effects from such equipment.

As accessory equipment the alarm kit is available to connect external devices to the
external alarm inputs and outputs. For the exact designation, please refer to chapter

6.3 Spare Parts.

Page 39

User’s Manual for

ION™-M7P/85P/17P/19P (ML-Cab)

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.

Subminiature circular connectors series 712 with five and seven contacts, which are
contained in the alarm kit, can be ordered directly from the Binder Connector Group,
the manufacturer, or indirectly from Andrew Solutions. For the designation of the

) 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.

Maintenance of the ION-M7P/85P/17P/19P should be performed by replacing only
components that are contained in this chapter. In order to maintain warranty, take
care not to damage unintentionally the seals on the modules.

The spare parts list, consequently, contains only units which can be replaced without
tuning or soldering work.

) Note: When sending back the unit, use an appropriate packaging, see

chapter 6.2.3 Environmental and Safety Specifications. We
strongly recommend using the original packaging!

) Note: Defect parts should only be replaced by original parts from the

supplier. All interventions inside the housing are at one’s own risk.

) Note: During maintenance ensure the Remote Unit has been

disconnected from power supply.

) Note: Before disconnecting any cables, label any unlabelled cables to

ensure correct connection.

For most maintenance procedures appropriate tools are required to ensure correct
handling. All these tools can be ordered from the supplier. For screwing procedures
observe that all our screws have a right-hand thread, i.e. for fastening the screws
turn the tool clockwise and for unscrewing them turn it counter-clockwise.

Due to the design of the Remote Unit the only component recommended to be
replaced is the fan unit. For replacing any other component, please contact the
supplier.

2. Before any cleaning action, remove the fan guard and the fan unit from the
Remote Unit as described in the previous chapter 5.2 Replacing the Fan Unit.

3. Clean the ribs of the heat sink (see figure 5-1 Fan unit and heat sink) very
carefully with a soft brush (not metallic!). Take care that the material is not
scratched or damaged!

4. If necessary, use compressed air (max. 5 bar) to blow out the heat sink from front
to rear side.

) Note: NEVER blow out the fan unit with compressed air! This would

cause permanent damage to the unit.

5. In case the dirt cannot be blown out completely from the heat sink and parts of it,
still stick to the ribs, clean the parts concerned carefully from the front with the
soft brush. Take care that the material is not scratched or damaged.

6. After cleaning the heat sink, mount the fan unit and the fan guard again according
to chapter 5.2 Replacing the Fan Unit. Then, reconnect mains power and power
