4 Setting up the Device

Always ensure the device stands stable and that the environmental conditions – listed under Chapter 1 – Section: Operating states and operating positions – are okay before starting to use the PIM Site Analyzer α.

After opening the box and unpacking the device including its accessories take the batteries and open the red protection lid on both of them. Push the batteries in the appropriate slots of the device until you feel them click into place. Before the first usage of the device the batteries should be charged fully. To do so, connect the PIM Site Analyzer α to the power supply using the included charging cable. Batteries are fully charged as soon as their LED indicators have stopped flashing.

The next step is to lay the device onto the display side and insert the filter as shown in 3.3.1. After that the PIM Site Analyzer α is ready for operation. To boot the device press the Power Button, which is illuminated as long as the device is running. The boot process is finished as soon as the menu for the measurement operations is shown. You can now start your measurements. To power off the device, shortly press the Power Button again and the device will shut down. The device has finished shutting down as soon as the illumination of the Power Button is off.

4.1 Changing SFPs

Choosing the right SFP modules depends on the site equipment. The SFP modules in the PIM Site Analyzer α have to be compatible with the Base Band Unit or else malfunction may occur. To remove the SFP modules flap out the lever to unlock the module and pull the SFP module out. To equip a SFP module slide it in with the lever pushed down until the SFP snaps in. Mind the latching tab when connecting / disconnecting the FO cable.

4.2 Battery Operation

People with cardiac stimulator must not expose the magnetic field of the batteries, the battery unit, the power unit or the charging cable.

Always keep the red protection lid closed if batteries are removed from PIM Site Analyzer α or charger. Keep metal particles away from battery-pack and -slot, they could be attracted by the magnetic connector and cause short circuits.

The PIM Site Analyzer α runs on two battery packs. Each battery pack is dedicated to one amplifier, while the power flow to the basic system is intelligently controlled to keep the device running even if one battery fails. So, if no measurement is running one battery at a time can be changed without shutting down the device.

Battery charging will start immediately after connecting the charger which can be seen by the flashing LED indicator. For lifetime and safety reasons charging won’t start if battery temperature is too high or too low. Please plug in battery again when it reached a normal temperature.

Fully discharged batteries (below approx. 5%) will run through a pre-charge cycle to lengthen their lifetime for up to 45 min prior to the fast charge. During that time their LED indicators will not flash and the battery may not be recognized in the status menu.

6.5 DTF

Measuring of the distance to the PIM fault a nd Return Loss fault position. The graph plots t he PIM and RL value over distance, so even multiple sources can be detected and level m easured. The velocity factor has to be known for accurate display scal i ng.

In order to perform DTF measurements the filter needs to be zeroed (PIM and Return Loss) first. The zeroing must be done only once after a new filter is inserted the first time (if the filter is changed afterwards the equipment will use the stored value for this filter created by zeroing) and can only be done on the device, not on the tablet.

6.5.1 Zeroing PIM

At first PIM needs to be zeroed. In the Settings Screen of DTF measurement choose “PIM Location” under “Measurement Mode”, tick the “Enable” checkbox under “Setting New Zero Point” and apply the settings.

After that, connect the DTF Zeroing adaptor and a Low PIM load at the desired zero-point. To start zeroing PIM click on “Zero PIM” on the bottom of the DTF measurement screen.

After successful zeroing “PASS” is displayed and with that the zero-point is set. To avoid mistakes in the following measurements please uncheck the “Enable” checkbox in the DTF settings screen. With that the “Zero PIM” button on the measurement screen disappears. The zeroing can also be used to set an offset.

PIM Site Analyzer α Manual

Page 29 of 54

6.5.2 Zeroing Return Loss

Return Loss is zeroed without a load / adaptor at the end of the cable. In the DTF settings menu “Return Loss Location” has to be checked in the DTF settings screen. Also make sure that “Output Power RL” is set to 23 dBm.

6.5.3 Setting the velocity factor of the signal path

In order to get an increased accuracy for distance measurements, the velocity factor of the signal path can be set up in sections. Enter the cable length and select a predefined cable from the table (or a custom defined factor) and hit “Add new cable” to create a list of subsequent cable sections from the zero point to the “end” of possible PIM occurrences.

The given example includes a 4 m jumper (1/2” R) and a 33 m feeder (7/8” R) + 2 m jumper (1/2” R) all beyond the last entry is treated as “Air” with 100% because the antenna is almost unknown anyway.

• Make sure, SFP (pluggable module) is compatible with fiber type

• Do not mix fiber types in a link

• Do not touch connector ferrule

• Use protection caps whenever a connector or a module is not mated

• Do not bend or kink optical cables (R ≥ 25 mm)

• Only use suitable cleaning equipment (Reel Cleaner, Click Cleaner)

• Check fiber surface with a video microscope before mating a connector

9 Measurement Examples

The following instructions are only recommendations. The actual requirements of PIM testing and verification can vary depending on the site operators specifications.

9.1 RF Measurements

Common Checklist for fixing PIM:

1. Tighten RF-Connectors using appropriate torque

2. Cleaning connector interfaces with alcohol, Q-Tip and compressed air

3. Replace components (e.g. feeder connector)

9.1.1 PIM acceptance test

1. Disconnect cable from base station and connect it to the test port of the device

2. Disconnect the antenna and terminate the connection with a Low PIM Load (60Z150-020)

3. Do a 2 Tone measurement, during which you tap on every cable junction to simulate mechanical stress (e.g. wind)

4. Do a Sweep measurement over the widest possible frequency range

5. If PIM is not within specified limit refer to 9.1.2

6. IF PIM is within specified limit, create test report and save it

9.1.2 Troubleshooting a PIM problem

1. Disconnect cable from base station and connect it to the test port of the device

2. Disconnect the antenna and terminate the connection with a Low PIM Load (60Z150-020)
