6 Operating the Satellite System

When the satellite system is correctly installed and interconnected, proceed as follows before switching on the R&S OSP base unit:
To power up the satellite system
1. Connect the RC module R&S OSP-B200R to the satellite unit R&S OSP-B200S2.
2. In an FOL setup (Figure 5-5), connect the power supply R&S OSP-B200P to the satellite unit.
3. Only then power up the R&S OSP base unit.
Once powered up, operate modules in the satellite unit as if installed in the base unit.

6.1 System Status

Operating the Satellite System
Power Consumption
After booting, 2 LEDs in the RC interface module R&S OSP-B200R and 3 LEDs in the satellite unit R&S OSP-B200S2 indicate the system status as follows:
Table 6-1: Status LEDs
Device [Power] LED [Link / Busy] LED [Overheat] LED
RC module
Satellite unit
Green when power is ON
Green when power is ON
Continuously yellow when link between remote interface and satellite is established
Flashing yellow during data transfer
Continuously yellow when link between RC module and satellite is established
Flashing yellow during data transfer
If overheating occurs, indicated by a red [Overheat] LED in the satellite unit, it resets its built-in modules automatically.

6.2 Power Consumption

Both the satellite system and the modules fitted within the satellite unit draw power from the R&S OSP base switch units. However, the additional power consumption required by the satellite system is relatively low:
--
Orange when fan is switched on
Red if overheating occurs
Max. 50 mA at 28 V
Max. 250 mA at 3.3 V
For power consumption data of the various modules, refer to the data sheet of the R&S OSP.
Note that in FOL operation, the R&S OSP-B200P supplies power to the satellite unit and its modules.

8 Maintenance

The product does not require regular maintenance. It only requires occasional clean­ing. It is however advisable to check the nominal data from time to time.
If you use a fiber-optic link (FOL) with FSMA connectors, clean these connectors according to Chapter 8.2, "Maintaining Flawless FOL Connections", on page 25.

8.1 Cleaning

How to clean the product is described in "Cleaning the product" on page 7.
Do not use any liquids for cleaning. Cleaning agents, solvents (thinners, acetone), acids and bases can damage the front panel labeling, plastic parts and display.
Maintenance
Maintaining Flawless FOL Connections

8.2 Maintaining Flawless FOL Connections

In FOL operation of K04 models with FSMA fiber-optic connectors (R&S OSP-Z201x cables), keep these connectors clean to prevent errors in the communication between RC module and satellite unit.
Handle all FSMA connectors with great care.
If disconnected, always cover all open male and female connectors with end caps.
Quality of fiber-optic connections
Before mating two fiber-optic connectors, clean and inspect both connectors.
Even if a connector appears clean to the naked eye, it can be contaminated. There­fore, use a special microscope to inspect the fiber-optic connectors:

Recommended cleaning equipment
Dedicated dry fiber cleaning wipes, cards, reels, or tape
Isopropyl or ethyl alcohol, 90% (vol.). Do not use other cleaning liquids, unless explicitly suited for cleaning fiber-optic connectors. To avoid absorption of water in a hygroscopic alcohol cleaning liquid, keep it in a hermetically sealed bottle. Or use alcohol-moisturized wipes from sealed bags.
Ferrule cleaning sticks, diameter 2.5 mm, for fiber-connector end-face cleaning
Ultra-clean compressed air from a spray can (optional)
Maintenance
Maintaining Flawless FOL Connections
Recommended inspection equipment
Hand-held microscope for fiber-optic connectors, magnification at least 200:1
We recommend using a video microscope, because it is inherently eye-safe.
If you use a direct ocular microscope, ensure that no live signal is in the fiber.
Looking into a magnified live beam can damage your eye.
Optionally, feed the microscope's video output to a computer. Use image-analysis software to check the cleaning results of your fiber-optic connectors.
To clean a fiber-optic connector
1. Remove the end cap from the connector.
2. If the connector's end face is open, gently clean it with a dry fiber wipe, card, reel or tape. To do so, follow the application instructions of your cleaning equipment. If no instructions are available, apply a single linear swipe of the connector's end face across a previously unused part of the cleaning surface.
3. If the connector's end face is inside a ferrule, gently clean it with a dry ferrule cleaning stick. To do so, follow the application instructions of your cleaning equipment. If no instructions are available, insert a previously unused stick into the connector's ferrule with low force. Carefully rotate the stick counter-clockwise by 4 to 5 revolu­tions. Remove the stick.
4. Gently clean each connector with an alcohol-moisturized cleaning tool. To do so, follow the application instructions of your cleaning equipment.
26User Manual 1178.6733.02 ─ 03
R&S®OSP-B200R/B200S2
If no instructions are available, apply a small amount of alcohol to your cleaning equipment. Proceed as described for dry cleaning (step 2 or step 3).
5. To remove alcohol and contamination from the connector's end face, repeat the dry cleaning procedure. Alternatively, blow the connectors dry with ultra-clean compressed air.
CAUTION! Risk of eye damage. If you inspect the cleaning result with a direct ocu-
6. lar microscope, ensure that no live signal is in the fiber. Looking into a magnified live beam can damage your eye.
Visually inspect the cleaning result in an eye-safe microscope (Figure 8-1). Especially the region of the fiber core must meet criteria as specified by standard IEC 61300-3-35.
7. If the connector is not clean, repeat the cleaning procedure.
8. Apply the entire cleaning procedure to the opposite connector, too.
9. Mate these two fiber-optic connectors.
10. Repeat the procedure for all connectors in a link.
