The process described is for a typical installation. Custom kits may be ordered and are beyond the scope of this manual.
Rev. 8 7
Installation RSU-503 Redundancy Switch Unit
To install the switch to a round vertical pole:
1. Set the switch on its side, with the mounting holes facing up.
2. Install the 14” unistrut as follows:
a. Position a 14” long
unistrut (with the open side facing up) over the mounting holes on the unit.
b. Using three 1/4-20 x
5/8” bolts, 1/4” split lockwashers, and 1/4” flat washers, attach the unistrut to the switch.
c. Tighten the bolts
firmly.
3. Install the pipe blocks as follows:
a. Install two spring nuts in the 14” long unistrut which is mounted on the unit,
and in a second 14” long unistrut.
Be sure to center the spring nuts in the unistruts wide enough apart so that when the pipe blocks are installed, they will clear the pole when the unit is lifted into place for installation.
b. Install each spring nut as follows:
(1) Place the spring
nut in the unistrut channel, spring side down, with its wide side parallel with the unistrut channel.
8 Rev. 8
RSU-503 Redundancy Switch Unit Installation
(2) Press down on
the spring nut to compress the spring, and rotate the nut 90
°
(perpendicular to the unistrut).
(3) Release pressure on the spring nut.
(4) Repeat Steps 3.b.(1) through 3.b.(3) for each spring nut.
c. Using four 5/16-18 x
1” bolts, 5/16” split lockwashers, and 5/16” flat washers, loosely secure the pipe blocks to the spring nuts in each 14” unistrut.
Ensure the pipe blocks are installed with the long angle facing inward, toward the pipe, as illustrated.
DO NOT tighten the pipe block bolts until after mounting the switch on the vertical pole (see Step 5.e.).
4. Install the threaded rods as follows:
a. Install two spring nuts in the 14” long unistruts mounted on the unit.
Ensure the spring nuts are positioned over the outer holes in the long
Note:
unistruts.
Rev. 8 9
Installation RSU-503 Redundancy Switch Unit
b. To install each spring
nut:
(1) Place the spring
nut in the unistrut channel, spring side down, with its wide side parallel with the unistrut channel.
(2) Press down on
the spring nut to compress the spring, and rotate the nut 90
°
(perpendicular to the unistrut).
(3) Release pressure on the spring nut.
(4) Repeat Steps 4.b.(1) through 4.b.(3) for each spring nut.
c. Thread a 5/16-18 nut approximately 1-1/2” onto each threaded rod. (This
will ensure that the threaded rods will extend beyond the spring nuts when installed.)
d. Place a 5/16” split
lockwasher, 5/16” flat washer, and flat fitting plate over each threaded rod.
e. One threaded rod at a
time, hold the washers and plate in place on the threaded rod and screw it into a spring nut, as illustrated.
10 Rev. 8
RSU-503 Redundancy Switch Unit Installation
Notes:
1. Be sure to position the flanges of the fitting plates in the grooves of the unistruts.
2. Before tightening the nuts on the threaded rods, ensure that the end of each rod is screwed in until it is flush with the backside of the unistrut. This ensures the rods are threaded completely through the spring nuts.
Tighten each nut firmly.
f. Thread a 5/16-18 nut
about 2” onto the end of each threaded rod.
g. Slip a 5/16” split
lockwasher, 5/16” flat washer and flat fitting plate (in that order) onto each threaded rod.
5. Mount the unit as follows:
a. Lift the unit into position on the vertical pole.
b Slip the 14” unistrut
over the threaded rods (upper and lower).
Install the 14”
Note:
unistrut with its open face toward the pole.
c. Install a 5/16” flat
washer, 5/16” split lockwasher, and 5/16-18 nut on each threaded rod.
d. Position the unit as desired, and tighten the 5/16-18 nuts installed in Step
5.c.
e. Slide the pipe blocks inward until they contact the vertical pole, then firmly

3.1 Power

Chapter 3.
THEORY OF OPERATION
3
This chapter provides the basic theory for the following:
• Switch power
• Waveguide and coax switch drivers
• LNA
• M&C operational control
In a redundant system, the switch is powered from either of the two RFT terminals via the M&C interconnect cable. External DC power (approximately 10.8V) enters the M&C on pins 1 and 2 of connector J17 (25-pin D), and is “ORed” through diodes CR1 and CR2.
The switch is monitored by the analog-to-digital (A/D) converter U16, and is made available as a maintenance status through the serial terminal.
A 3-terminal regulator, U1, converts and regulates the +5V to all the logic, including the microcontroller U18.
PS1 converts the 10V input voltage to 30V, where it is stored by capacitors C6 through C10 to supply the 500 millisecond pulses to the transfer switches.
Rev. 8 3–1
Theory of Operation RSU-503 Redundancy Switch Unit

3.2 Waveguide and Coax Switch Drivers

The microcontroller creates the 500 millisecond pulses to control the positions of all four transfer switches. Photovoltaic opto-isolated switches U8, U9, U10, and U11 transform the +5V logic into 30V pulses to drive the latching coils of the switches.
Each microwave transfer switch contributes 0.3 dB of insertion loss, with a minimum of 70 dB of isolation.

3.3 LNA

The LNAs are powered directly from their respective RFTs through the RF coax cable. The RFT performs a current sense on its LNA, and informs the switch by declaring a downlink fault, if one is detected.

3.4 M&C Operational Control

3.4.1 Communications Link

The terminal functions can be remotely controlled and monitored via an RS-485 or RS-232 communications link.
The RS-485 interface makes it possible to operate 255 terminals on a common
communications link.
The RS-232 interface is used to communicate with a single terminal.
The M&C module must be hardware configured on the M&C board to one of the two interfaces. Refer to the following table for jumper placement at JP3:
RS-485

RS-232
Configuration
3–2 Rev. 8
RSU-503 Redundancy Switch Unit Theory of Operation
Although the switch M&C is considered to be the slave unit on the MTI RS-232 bus, it becomes the master when communicating to each of the two RFTs.
When not servicing MTI requests, the M&C monitors indicators, faults, and voltages. When applicable, it generates switch-over pulses.
When polled from the MTI, the switch M&C will perform the following functions:
1. Return a response acknowledging receipt of the command.
2. Decode the address in the message, compare it to the stored addresses, and route it to its intended destination.
3. Return a block of status information when requested.

3.4.2 Switch Indicators

Address 9000 reads in the eight indicator bits representing the four uplink and four downlink indicator positions. The following tables show how the four bits are decoded to indicate whether the unit A or B is currently online.

3.4.3 Auto/Manual Modes

In Auto mode, switch-over can only occur as a result of a fault, as listed in the following table:

Appendix B.
REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION
B
This appendix describes the remote control operation of the RSU-503 and RSU-503L.
Firmware number: FW/3080-1P
Software version: 1.14
Notes:
1. Unless indicated otherwise, any references in this appendix to “the switch” apply to both the RSU-503 and RSU-503L.
2. Before operating the system, ensure the installation is complete and the cable connectors are tight, especially the connections from the waveguide switch indicators. If not, no harm will come to the unit, but the online indicators might read erroneously if the waveguide switch is not set to the same online position as the coax switches in the switch.
Ambiguity between any of the RF switches can be corrected by commanding a switchover from A to B, or B to A. This will then latch all switches on the same channel. This natural ambiguity only occurs during installation, and would only reoccur if a switch becomes faulty.
Note:
The firmware referenced in this manual may be an earlier version of the actual
firmware supplied with the unit.
Rev. 8 B–1
Remote Control Operation RSU-503 Redundancy Switch Unit

B.1 General

Remote controls and status information are transferred via an RS- 485 (optional RS- 232) serial communications link.
Commands and data are transferred on the remote control com munications link as US ASCII-encoded character strings.
The remote communications link is operated in a half- duplex m ode.
Communications on the rem ote link are initiated by a rem o te controller or term inal. The switch never transmits data on the link unless it is comm anded to do so.
Serial communications with either RFT through the switch remains the same as communicating directly with the unit. Each individual RFT is assigned its own unique address, and will respond when that address is polled. To the RFT, the interconnection is transparent—it will not know whether the command came through the switch or directly from the terminal.
The switch receives all commands from the interface, decodes the contained address, compares it to its stored addresses, and routes the message to the intended destination. When an RFT communication parameter (address, baud rate, and parity) is changed, the switch will also store that information in its EEPROM.
Note:
All three units must have unique addresses.

B.2 Message Structure

The ASCII character form at used requires 11 bits/character:
1 start bit
7 information bits plus 1 parity bit
2 stop bits
or:
1 start bit
8 information bits with no parity bit
2 stop bits
Messages on the remote link fall into the categories of commands and responses.
Commands are m essag es w hich are transmitted to the switch, while responses are messages returned by the switch in response to a command.
B–2 Rev. 8
RSU-503 Redundancy Switch Unit Remote Control Operation
The general message structure is as follows:
Start Character
Device Address
Command/Response
End of Message Character

B.2.1 Start Character

A single character precedes all messages transmitted on the remote link. This character flags the start of a message. This character is:
“<”
for commands
“>”
for responses

B.2.2 Device Address

The device address is the address of the switch which is designated to receive a transmitted command, or which is responding to a command.
Valid device addresses are 1 to 3 characters long, and in the range of 1 to 255. Address 0 is reserved as a global address which simultaneously addresses all dev ices on a g iv en communications link. Devices do not acknowledge global commands.
Each switch and RFT connected to a common remote com munications link, must be assigned its own unique address. Addresses are software selectable at the unit, and must be in the range of 1 to 255.
Note:
Global address “*” is reserved for KP-10 (the external keypad) commands. Refer
to the KP-10 External Keypad Installation and Operation Manual.
Rev. 8 B–3
Remote Control Operation RSU-503 Redundancy Switch Unit

B.2.3 Command/Response

The command/response portion of the messag e contains a v ariable-length character sequence which conveys command and response data.
If the switch receives a messag e addressed to it w hich does not m atch the established protocol or cannot be implemented, a negativ e acknowledg ment message is sent in response. This message is:
>add/?ER1_parity error'cr''lf']
(Error message for received parity errors.)
>add/?ER2_invalid parameter'cr''lf ']
(Error message for a recognized command which cannot be implemented or has parameters which are out of range.)
>add/?ER3_unrecognizable command'cr''lf ']
(Error message for unrecognizable command or bad command syntax.)
>add/?ER4_converter in lock mode'cr''lf']
>add/?ER5_not supported by hardware'cr''lf']
>add/?ER6_address in use'cr''lf']
>add/?ER7_RSU-503 in auto mode'cr''lf']
Note:
range between 1 and 255.

B.2.4 End Character

Each message is ended with a single character which sig n als the end of the m essag e:
“cr”
“]”
(Controller in Lock mode. Must go to Enable mode first.)
(Command is valid command, but it is not supported by the current hardware configuration.)
(Address specified in the ASA, ASB, or ASR command is alread y assigned.)
(Switch is in Auto mode. Must go to Manual mode first.)
“add” is used to indicate a valid 1 to 3 character device address in the
Carriage return character for commands End bracket for responses

The following messages are address ed to the switch (or corresponding redundant RFT) and, if applicable, will be reformatted before the trans mission to the selec ted RFT.
These commands as sign the addresses to the three uni t s which make up the redundancy syst em.
Where:
XXX = 1 to 255. Default = 2. add = Current address of the switch.
XXX = New address for unit A. This command selects the address of RFT, unit A (RFT_A ). Where:
XXX = 1 to 255. Default = 3.
add = Current address of the switch.
XXX = New address for unit B. This command selects the address of RFT, unit B (RFT_B ). Where:
XXX = 1 to 255. Default = 1.
add = Current address of the switch.
XXX = New address for the switch. This command sel ects the address of the switch. If the desired address is current ly in use, the response will be:

XXXX = A, B, or both.
XXX = 1 to 255.
YYYYY = 19200, 9600, 4800, 2400, 1200, 600, or 300.
ZZ = EV, OD, or NO (none, for 8 bit). This command is used to retrieve address, baud rate, and pari ty
information for the three communication l i nks:
Terminal to switch
Switch to RFT Unit A
Switch to RFT Unit B
The user can specify the polling of either Unit A or Unit B, or both, but must know the address of the switch.
Upon receipt of this comm and, the switch will commence a polling sequence of the specifi ed uni t(s) at all possible combinations of address, baud rate, and parity. The polling is completed when polled unit responds, or all combinations have been exhausted. The switch then transmit s the polled information back to the user terminal.
If the switch does not recei ve a response from the polled unit, i t will respond with the following message in place of the address, baud rate, and parity informat i on:
<add/POLL_X'cr' X = A or B Unable To Communicate'cr''lf']
Note: Approximately 24 minutes are required to poll all combinations of address, baud rate, and parity per unit (A or B ). The only way to abort this operation once it has been started is to cycle power.
