This manual describes the installation and operation of
the Decibel Products DB8860-based PMU (Power Monitor
Unit) for non-simulcast EDACS (Enhanced Digital Access
Communications System) repeater sites that use a VAX
computer for the Site Controller. This manual covers only
those features of the Decibel Products DB8860 that are
required for this application.
The user must provide an RS232 CRT terminal (or PC
with terminal emulation software) for installation and
maintenance.
DESCRIPTION
The PMU (Power Monitor Unit) is used to quickly
identify damaged transmitters, transmit combiners, transmit
antennas, and connecting cables so that the equipment can
be quickly removed from service and repaired. The PMU is
a microprocessor-driven power monitoring and reporting
device that receives power measurements from the power
sensors, receives monitoring instructions from the Site
Controller computer, and reports alarm conditions back to
the Site Controller computer.
A unidirectional power sensor is placed at the output of
each transmitter to send forward power measurements to the
PMU. A bi-directional power sensor is placed at the output
of each transmitter combiner to send forward and reflected
power measurements to the PMU.
The Site Controller computer tells the PMU which
power sensors to monitor and when, by telling the PMU
when each transmitter is keyed and unkeyed.
The PMU reports an alarm for a specific transmitter
when the output power measurement for that transmitter
exceeds the upper or lower power limit. The Site Controller
computer then takes that transmitter out of service.
The PMU reports an alarm for a specific antenna
number when the input power measurement for that antenna
exceeds the upper or lower power limit, or the SWR
calculation exceeds the upper limit.
Figure 1 shows the locations of the PMU-related
components in a standard 20-channel EDACS installation
after the PMU option has been installed. Each standard
EDACS repeater cabinet includes the unidirectional power
sensors, power sensor cables, power sensor module, and
cabinet interconnect cable. The cable between the Site
Controller computer and the PMU, the cables between the
PMU and the Power Sensor interface module, and the Power
Sensor interface module all come with the PMU. The bidirectional (antenna) power sensor(s) are ordered separately.
If the PMU option is to be installed in an older EDACS
site, you may need some additional material to update or
adapt to the older equipment (see the Installation section in
this manual for details).

PMU HARDWARE
There are three procedures for the installation of the
PMU hardware. The procedure you should use will depend
upon whether or not the Site Controller cabinet presently
contains EDACS Interface Panels and/or an old PMU. The
EDACS Interface Panels are located in the back of the
cabinet, near the top. Each panel consists of a 5 1/4 inch X
19 inch frame containing one or more interface modules
(boards with connectors). Use Table 1 to select the right
PMU hardware installation procedure for your system.

PANEL
YesNoA. Addition from No PMU
NoYesC. Adaptation from Old PMU
The table and the procedures assume that the equipment
that presently exists in the Site Controller cabinet is one of
the previous standard configurations. Regardless of which
procedure is used, it is very important to know exactly what
equipment presently exists, review what has to be done, and
be sure you have all the parts you will need before
the installation.
A. Addition from No PMU
Use this procedure only if your Site Controller cabinet
has EDACS Interface panels, but doesn’t have a PMU.
This procedure consists of adding the PMU, Power
Monitor interface module, cables between the PMU and the
Power Monitor interface module, cable between the PMU
and the Site Controller computer, and DC power wires to the
PMU, all in the Site Controller cabinet. It also consists of
adding the antenna power sensor(s) in the RF Equipment
cabinet(s), and the antenna power sensor cables between the
antenna power sensor(s) in the RF Equipment cabinet(s) and
the Power Monitor interface module in the Site Controller
cabinet.

the four thread forming screws provided with it. (You
will need a T15 Torx-head screwdriver.) If an old
Power Sensor interface module is mounted there,
replace it with the new 19C852632G1 interface module.
This interface module contains two 19C852379G1
Channel Termination Boards, each containing 12
shorting jumpers. The boa rd plugged into J1 is used to
short any unused power sensor circuit for Transmitter
channels #1 through #12. T he board plugged into J2 is
used to short any unused power sensor circuit for
Transmitter channels #11 through #20.
6. Remove the 19C852379G1 Channel Termination Board
from J1 on the Power Sensor interface module (installed
in step 5), and connect a 25-pair cabinet interconnect
cable in its place. Connect the other end of the 25-pair
cabinet interconnect cable to J14 or J15 on the Power
Sensor interface module in the EDACS Repeater
cabinet containing the transmitter for channel #1). If the
two cabinets are next to each other in the same row, use
a 5-ft 19D903880P120 cable. If the two cabinets are
across from each other in different rows, use a 15-ft
19D903880P121 cable.
7. Starting with the cabinet containing the transmitter for
channel #1, follow the daisy chain of 25-pair cabinet
interconnect cables connected to J14 and J15 on the
Power Sensor interface module in each EDACS
Repeater cabinet until an empty J14 or J15 connector is
found. Plug the 19C852379G1 Channel Termination
Board (removed in the previous step) into this empty
connector.
8. Remove the shorting jumper for each transmitter
channel # equipped with a power sensor (P#
corresponds to transmitter channel #).
1. Turn off the main 12V power supply for the cabinet.
2. Replace the 5 1/4 inch blank panel just above the
Downlink GETC (called Trunking Card in some older
installations) with the PMU. There will be a half rack
unit space (7/8 inch) both above and below the PMU.
3. Connect the #18 red wire from the terminal on the back
of the PMU labeled “+”, to TB10-7 on the back of the
Downlink GETC shelf.
4. Connect the #18 black wire from the terminal on the
back of the PMU labeled “–”, to TB10-6 on the back of
the Downlink GETC shelf.
5. Mount the new 19C852632G1 Power Sensor interface
module on the left-hand end of the upper EDACS
Interface Panel in the upper rear of the cabinet, using
10
Note that there is a shorting jumper for transmitter
channels #11 and #12 on each of the 19C852379G1
Channel Termination Boards. Therefore, if transmitter
channel #11 or #12 is equipped with a power sensor, a
jumper must be removed from each of the two channel
termination boards.
9. If the system does not have any additional EDACS
Repeater cabinets not included in the daisy chain in the
previous step, go to step 11.
If the system has additional EDACS Repeater cabinets
not included in the daisy chain in the previous step,
remove the 19C852379G1 Channel Termination Board
from J2 on the Power Sensor interface module (installed
in step 5), and connect a 25-pair cabinet interconnect
cable in its place. Connect the other end of the 25-pair
cabinet interconnect cable to J14 or J15 on the Power
INSTALLATIONLBI-39128
Sensor interface module in the EDACS Repeater
cabinet containing the transmitter for channel #11 or
#13). If the two cabinets are next to each other in the
same row, use a 5-ft 19D903880P120 cable. If the two
cabinets are across from each other in different rows,
use a 15-ft 19D903880P121 cable.
10. Starting with the cabinet containing the transmitter for
channel #11 or #13, follow the daisy chain of 25-pair
cabinet interconnect cables connected to J14 and J15 on
the Power Sensor interface module in each EDACS
Repeater cabinet until an empty J14 or J15 connector is
found. Plug the 19C852379G1 Channel Termination
Board (removed in the previous step) into this empty
connector.
11. Remove a shorting jumper in the 19C852379G1
Channel Termination Board for each transmitter
channel # equipped with a power sensor (P# plus 12
corresponds to transmitter channel #). Note that the P#
corresponds to a different transmitter channel # in this
case.
Note that there is a shorting jumper for transmitter
channels #11 and #12 on each of the 19C852379G1
Channel Termination Boards. Therefore, if transmitter
channel #11 or #12 is equipped with a power sensor, a
jumper must be removed from each of the two channel
termination boards.
12. Connect the five new 188D6466P2 cables from J3
through J7 on the Power Sensor interface module in the
upper EDACS Interface Panel, to Port 1 through Port 5
respectively on the back of the PMU.
13. Connect the new 188D6466P1 cable from J8 on the
Power Sensor interface module in the upper EDACS
Interface Panel, to PORT 7 on the back of the PMU.
If the Site Controller computer does not have modular
RJ11-8 connectors on its back panel, connect the new
19D903880P100 cable from the right-hand VDT
Interface on the back of the PMU to connector #13 on
the right-hand (B) DILOG panel (above the Site
Controller computer).
15. Install the 19C336861P3 or P4 antenna power sensor(s)
at the output of the transmitter combiner(s) in the RF
Equipment cabinet(s).
16. Install the 19C852677P1 antenna power sensor cable
from J9 on the Power Sensor interface module in the
Site Controller cabinet, to the antenna power sensor(s)
in the RF equipment cabinet(s) as shown in Figure 9. If
the system has only one antenna, tack solder a jumper
(tip to shield) on each of the unused phono plugs to
short the forward and reflected power sensor circuits for
antenna #2.
