Safety Instructions
1 Safety Instructions
1.1 Application
These microwave radio systems are designed to meet environment class 3.2 as defined in ETS 300 019. This class specifies system applications in partly temperature-controlled rooms (-5 C to +45 C, max. 95% relative humidity). The systems may be used only under the conditions and for the purpose for which they have been developed. For more detailed information, please refer to the Technical characteristics indicated in the Operator Manual. Installation and Service works may be executed only by technically trained and experienced staff knowing the hazards that can occur and the measures to be taken for minimizing any danger for themselves and third parties. Please note all warnings and instructions contained in this Manual. Only service staff should be granted access to the active system. Do not use any installation materials (screws, nuts etc.) different from those supplied with the equipment or recommended by the manufacturer. Use appropriate safety devices while you are working on top of or near the mast. The system may be installed and operated only in locations with restricted access.
1.2
Protection class
The DRS 155/...-64/128 MLQAM E system meets protection class IEC IP 20.
1.3
Operating voltage
Key word 1-1 Operating voltage
The Tx, Rx, MU PS and OHAU PS modules of the microwave radio system can be operated in the voltage range from 19 V to 75 V DC. The voltage input is floating, i.e. either the positive pole (standard) or the negative pole can be grounded. The standard cables used for setting up the connection to the power box (distributor) are dimensioned for the voltage ranges of 48 V and 60 V. Thicker cable crosssections are required for 24 V. Before switching on the power supply, please check that the operating voltage and supply voltage are identical and that the polarity is correct ( Fig. 1-1).
BAT 19...75 V DC
Fig. 1-1:
DC port Sub-D , 3-pin, male
Ensure that the power supply has been switched off before you plug in or pull out any module connecting cables. This applies to both control and operating voltage cables of the Modem Unit, OHAU as well as Tx and Rx modules. If the RPSI module is pulled out or plugged in live, transmission faults may occur in the protection channel. Ensure that the following conditions are fullfilled: 1. No operating channel must be protection-switched. 2. The protection switching function must have been enabled or 3. the links between the corresponding RPSI and RPS-C modules must have been cut. The following modules may be inserted in or extracted from the subrack only with the power supply switched off: Modulator = Mod/MD (in Modem Unit) Demodulator = Demod/DM (in Modem Unit) SOH Access (in OHAU) Power Supply = PS (in OHAU & Modem Unit)
RF/160 CI
1-1
Safety Instructions
For safety reasons, we always recommend to switch off the corresponding power supply unit at the fuse panel before you extract or insert a module !! The automatic circuit breakers must be located in the feeder line of the ungrounded pole. With the standard fuse sockets of Power Box II, the system may be operated only using batteries with the positive pole grounded.
1.4
Rack installation
Key word 1-2 Rack installation
System racks (ETSI or 19) must be protected from tipping over by screwing the clips (Fig. 1-2) to the wall or ceiling using appropriate securing material. For more detailed information, please refer to the Installation Manual.
Fig. 1-2:
Rack installation
1.5
Grounding the rack

Key word 1-3 Grounding the rack
The racks must be grounded via the protective grounding point located in the top section of the rear rack upright (Fig. 1-3) using a protective conductor (16 mm). The individual modules are grounded via the metal rails of the subracks and rack. For further instructions, please refer to the Installation Manual.

Laser safety
Key word 1-5 Laser
The Modem Unit can be optionally equipped with two optical modules (SPI) (Fig. 1-6). The laser used meets LASER CLASS 1 (Fig. 1-5) as defined in EN 60825-1.
Fig. 1-5:
Laser class
The laser complies with ITU-T G.957 and features the following characteristics: Wavelength Output power Pulse duration Beam divergence
S-1.1 1310 nm -8...-15 dBm 6.43 ns ~ 23
The module is automatically deactivated by an ALS (Automatic Laser Shutdown) circuit as soon as the optical input signal fails (e.g. in case of a cable break). In case of a loss of signal (LOS) at the SPI input, the laser is alternately activated for 2 seconds and deactivated for 70 seconds. Besides this automatic testing routine, it is also possible to switch on the laser manually for 2 seconds or 90 seconds. After expiry of the corresponding period, the system returns to the previous testing cycle.
Maintenance and repair works may be executed only by qualified service personnel.
The laser source emits invisible laser radiation. Laser beams can lead to irreparable eye injuries. Never look into the laser source or onto the connector surface of fibre-optic cables connected, not even with optical instruments.
Caution!
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

RF interfaces
Key word 1-6 RF interfaces
When opening the RF interfaces (waveguides or semi-rigid cables) while the transmitters are active, health-hazardous microwave radiation is emitted. In addition, this can lead to RF interferences in neighbouring units. Do not look into open waveguide connections and do not stand in front of transmit antennas. To avoid exposure to microwave radiation, you should always switch off the transmitter before you start to dismount the equipment.

Warnung :
Nicht die Hohlleiterverbindungen ffnen bevor die Sender ausgeschaltet sind. Mikrowellenstrahlung kann gesundheitsschdlich sein, besonders fr die Augen. Ebenso knnen Gertestrungen verursacht werden. Do not open waveguide joints without switching off the transmitter. Stray RF power is harmful to the body (particulary to the eyes) and can also cause RF interference.
Warning :
Fig. 1-7:
RF interfaces
The SMA connectors of the coaxial cables between the Tx modules, Rx modules and channel branching networks may be tightened only with a torque of approx. 60 Ncm. A higher torque would slacken the SMA connectors at the RF filters when opening the joint. This would lead to a change of the filter characteristic.

Checking the System Setup
2 Checking the System Setup

The figures contained and described in this chapter can be used to check the correct system setup and installation in compliance with the commissioning records.
2.1
Rack configuration
Key word 2-1 Rack configuration
All system components are mounted in ETSI cabinets (H x W x D: 2200 x 600 x 300 mm). Alternatively, installation in 19" cabinets is also possible. A fully equipped ETSI cabinet can provide up to 4 RF channels including service channels, power supply and protection switching. In case of expansions, several cabinets can be installed side by side or back to back (up to 4 system racks or cabinets for a 14 + 2 configuration). An expansion of the microwave radio system (max. 14 operating channels and 2 protection channels) is normally possible without traffic interruption. The card slots for the individual modules are numbered in system racks 0, 1 . . . 4. The modules to be mounted in these card slots are preconfigured in the factory according to the customer-specific requirements.

In the scope of system planning, configuration lists are worked out in which the assignment of modules to the individual card slots is defined. In the factory, these lists are completed with the part nos. of the respective modules. These lists are supplied with the rack and must be revised and returned to the project engineering department in case of modifications. The internal cabling must be carried out on site in accordance with the attached cabling plans. Each connector is marked with the rack no., card slot no., equipment unit and port (e.g. 001 / 414 / MU / X85). In the complete system configuration, all racks and equipment units must be clearly + Important: identified by appropriate markings! In order to ensure a secure adoption of the new addresses, a Reset must be made for all modules connected as soon as any addresses have been modified. This reset can be executed using the MSP or by switching off and restarting the power supply. 2-4 RF/160 CI

Waveguide and Antenna Measurements
3 Waveguide and Antenna Measurements

3.1 Reflection measurement at the waveguide
Key word 3-1 Reflection measurement
3.1.1 Design and calibration of the test setup

Reflection measurements are normally performed using the following measuring units and accessories: Spectrum analyzer e.g type 8593E (up to 22 GHz) from HP Tracking generator type 85645A (up to 26.5 GHz) from HP Printer/plotter e.g. type 7440A from HP and Test coupler with accessories depending on RF frequency from Spinner (sweep box) Optionally, this measurement can also be performed using a "Site Master from Anritsu (see chapter 5 "Measuring Units and Accessories"). The spectrum analyzer and tracking generator are connected to form the test setup depicted below:
Fig. 3-1:
Test setup for reflection measurement (calibration)
The connections between the spectrum analyzer and tracking generator are set up using coaxial cables:
Spectrum analyzer Front side: 1ST LO OUTPUT Rear side: LO SWP OUTPUT Rear side: 10 MHz REF IN/OUT Rear side: BLANKING OUTPUT
to <=====> <=====> <=====> <=====>
Tracking generator Front side: LO INPUT Rear side: SWEEP + TUNE IN Rear side: 10 MHz IN Rear side: BLANK IN
In this test setup, the tracking generator is controlled by the spectrum analyzer, i.e. all settings necessary for cabibration and measurement must be entered only at the spectrum analyzer. At the tracking generator, only the type of spectrum analyzer used (e.g. HP 8562A) must be adjusted or selected. (=> Buttons: "RESET" / "CONFIG" / "ENTER" / "MENU Down" => Display: "CONFIG #1" & "HOST SELECT"; press the "ENTER" button and scroll Up "^" or Down "v" until the correct type appears in the display. Then press "ENTER" again to save this setting.) Settings at the spectrum analyzer: Frequency range : e.g. for DRS 155/7500: Start: 7.1 GHz / Stop: 7.75 GHz Amplitude : 5 dB/Div Reference level : 0 dB Sweep mode : Single sweep
RF/160 CI
3-1
Calibration of the test setup: Screw a short-circuit plate to the output of the test coupler and save the measuring curve to channel B of the spectrum analyzer (TRACE B / CLEAR WRITE B). Then remove the short-circuit plate and connect the coupler output to the waveguide. => Setting at spectrum analyzer: in "MATH" menu: "A - B --> A" TRACE A / CLEAR WRITE A
3.1.2 Description of reflection measurement

The test coupler of the calibrated test setup is connected to the equipment end of the waveguide to be measured (the antenna being used as "Termination" at the other end). The measurement is now executed by starting a "single sweep" at the spectrum analyzer over the calibrated frequency range (e.g. 7.1 to 7.75 GHz). If the reflection measured over the whole frequency range is 25 dB, the required return loss of the antenna system including the waveguide has been achieved and the graphical test result can be printed out with the adjusted measuring parameters on the corresponding commissioning record sheet using a plotter. If, however, the required reflection is not reached, the measurement must be repeated only for the waveguide (without antenna system). For this purpose, the waveguide is terminated by an absorber and not by the antenna (absorber reflection: 40 dB). The reflection measured over the whole frequency range should be 28 dB for the waveguide. With diversity operation, the same measurement must also be performed for the second antenna system.

3.2
Polarization discrimination (XPD) measurement

Key word 3-2 Polarization discrimination
On all radio hops operated in the XPIC mode, operation in both polarization planes (vertical and horizontal) is provided via one antenna. This antenna is connected via an orthomode transducer (OMT). Note: The described measurement is normally performed after antenna alignment and during commissioning (see Note in section 4.7.4) if an unmodulated RF signal is made available by the radio transmitter! The following devices are necessary for measuring the polarization discrimination: a spectrum analyzer and an adapter composed of 1 (2) waveguide transition(s) and one flexible RF coaxial cable for connecting the cross-polar path of the OMT. The spectrum analyzer is connected - if possible - via the adapter to the occupied branch of the OMT (waveguide disconnected) [1.] or directly to the Rx branching network (adapter with 2 waveguide transitions between OMT and waveguide). In the far end, the transmitter is connected to the antenna via the waveguide and OMT (of the polarization plane connected). The Tx frequency is adjusted at the spectrum analyzer and the level measured (in dBm / set marker) is recorded. Then the spectrum analyzer is connected via an adapter to the cross-polar output of the polarization plane [2.]. The Tx signal amplitude of the MARCONI / RFS UHP antenna measured by means of the spectrum analyzer must be at least 30 dB lower than before. The polarization discrimination is measured in both stations. Attention: Ensure that the modulation and ATPC have been switched off before you execute this measurement! See sections 4.7.1 "Deactivating the ATPC function and 4.7.2 "Deactivating modulation!
Test setup:
Note:
Fig. 3-3: Polarization discrimination measurement This measurement can also be performed at the equipment end of the waveguide if the antenna platform does not permit a direct measurement at the OMT or if such a measurement would be very complex.

4.1 Steps to be executed before system start-up
Before switching on the operating voltage, please verify the following items:
1. The rack must have been secured to the wall or ceiling and properly grounded as described in the installation instructions. 2. All modules must have been mounted in the appropriate card slots and secured in position so that their interconnection is ensured via the backplane. 3. All cables must have been connected to the ports specified on the connector bushings and secured with screws so that they cannot be pulled out inadvertently. The same applies to all coaxial cables (IF cables). 4. The coded "address connector" (see section 2.1 Rack configuration) has been connected to X77 (MST-ADR) of the connecting panel (included in the delivery scope). 5. The supply voltage has been routed via the rack circuit breaker to the corresponding power supply units accommodated in the rack and connected to these. 6. The feeder line (waveguide) has been routed up to the antenna, secured in position and connected to the RF interface (RF filter) of the system as described in the Installation Manual. 7. The RF interfaces of the transmitters and receivers have been connected via semi-rigid cables to the associated RFfilter interfaces of the Tx and Rx branching network chain. 8. The coaxial cables or fiber-optic cables for the baseband input (STM-1) have been connected to the input socket () of the CMI (electr.) or optical interface module (SPI STM-1). 9. The coaxial cable or fiber-optic cable for the baseband output (STM-1) has been connected to the output socket () of the CMI (electr.) or optical interface module (SPI STM-1). 10. Only in diversity operation: The coaxial sockets X2 and X24 (of the main receiver) as well as X22 and X23 (of the diversity receiver) located on the front side have been interconnected by means of coaxial cables (short cable bridges). 11. A valid address has been adjusted on the SISA0-N module mounted in the OHAU subrack (0 ... 254 => default setting: 1). The definite SISA address is normally defined by the customer and adjusted by means of DIP switch S1 before commissioning. See section 4.2 below for how to change the default setting. 12. The Service PC has been connected to the front socket of the SISA0-N module mounted in the OHAU subrack.
Before starting up the operating voltage, verify or make the necessary hardware settings (see sections 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4).
4.2
Adjusting the SISA address

Key word 4-1 Adjusting the SISA address
The SISA address can be adjusted only via the hardware (DIP switch S1). Adjusting this address by means of the Service PC (MSP) is not possible. If the SISA address defined by the customer or network operator is available, this address should be adjusted before commissioning. If the definite SISA address has not yet been defined, commissioning is performed with the default address which can then be changed at a later date.
+ Note:
For safety reasons, the power supply should always be switched off before you insert or extract any modules (see section 1.2 Operating voltage)!
For adjusting the SISA address, the SISA0-N module must be extracted from the OHAU subrack. 1. For safety reasons, switch off the power supply of the OHAU subrack (de-energize at fuse panel; not absolutely necessary for the SISA0-N module). 2. Remove the screws on the front panel of the SISA0-N module. 3. Extract the SISA0-N module from the subrack and adjust the SISA address by means of DIP switch S1. RF/160 CI 4-1

Version 1: 4 x 64 kbit/s service channels to ITU-T G.703, codirectional, 1+1 protected. 1 x 2 Mbit/s auxiliary channel to ITU-T G.703, coaxial or balanced, 1+1 protected or unprotected. Version 2: 8 x 64 kbit/s service channels to ITU-T G.703, codirectional, 1+1 protected. 1 x 2 Mbit/s auxiliary channel to ITU-T G.703, coaxial or balanced, 1+1 protected or unprotected.
One 2 Mbit/s interface can be used per RFCOH module. The required impedance (120 W or 75 W) is adjusted by means of jumpers on the RFCOH Access module: 1. For safety reasons, switch off the OHAU subrack power supply (de-energize at the fuse panel; not absolutely necessary for RFCOH Access modules). 2. Remove the screws on the front side of the RFCOH Access module. 3. Extract the RFCOH Access module from the subrack and adjust the required impedance by means of the jumpers described below.

Key word 4-9 Antenna alignment
After disabling the ATPC function in both transmitters of a radio link so that the antennas are supplied with a constant (maximum) Tx level and after the system modules have reached their operating temperature (after approx. 20 minutes), you can start antenna alignment. In both stations, align the antennas so that a maximum Rx level is obtained. Please note that the directed Tx lobe of a parabolic antenna has one main maximum and several side maxima. The AGC voltage at connector X5 (REC) of the main receiver is proportional to the RF receive level and is used as measuring parameter for aligning the antenna to the maximum Rx level for both the main and diversity receiver (display tolerance: 2dB in the range from 30dBm to 75dBm at ambient temperatures of +10C to +45C). To measure the AGC voltage, connect a multimeter (voltmeter) to recording connector X5 (Sub-D connector, 15-pin, male) as follows: Pin 1 (GND / -) and pin 2 (+) Pin 1 (GND / -) and pin 3 (+)
AGC voltage of the main receiver. AGC voltage of the diversity receiver.

In order to compensate the delay time difference between the diversity antenna and main antenna caused by the different waveguide lengths, an additional coaxial cable is provided in the shorter path at the IF level, i.e. between the IF control amplifier output and the combiner input. The combiner can compensate an attenuation of the additional IF cable of up to 10 dB. The compensation cable can have a maximum length of 30 m. Before the measurement required for defining the cable length is performed using the Service PC and a spectrum analyzer, the following IF connections must be set up at the receiver (cable jumpers):

An undisturbed modulated Rx signal must be available at the Main (X1) and Diversity (X21) RF inputs. The signal levels received at the two inputs must be nearly identical. Set up a connection between the spectrum analyzer input and diversity receiver output X25 (IF ) using a coaxial cable. At the spectrum analyzer, adjust the following values (recommendation): Center frequency : 140 MHz Span : 40 MHz Res. BW : 1 MHz Video BW : 1 kHz
Compensation process: Via the Service PC configuration menu (see page 4-32), the combiner is switched to an operating mode which permits delay time differences between the main path and diversity path to be displayed in the combiner output spectrum in the form of narrowband notches. Using the depth, direction and velocity of these notches, the system can determine the delay time difference with a relatively high precision. By varying the phase relation between the two input signals, the notch position within the spectrum can be modified. This variation can be performed continuously at a velocity adjustable via the configuration menu or in single steps.

Commissioning To condition 1 (single notch) :
In this case, the length difference is less than 10 m. The compensation cable length required can be determined using the single-step method described below. Alternatively, a cable of a defined length can be temporarily inserted in the IF path of the X23 combiner input. Thus, the overall length difference is increased to obtain a double notch in the spectrum which permits the resulting length difference to be determined relatively easily as described for condition 2. Finally, the additional cable must only be removed and its length must simply be substracted by taking the original cable into account (approx. 10 m).
Single-step method: The notch position (frequency) within the spectrum is recorded by means of a marker. Then the notch is moved through the spectrum step by step by activing the Single step option in the Configuration window several times (as opposed to all other configuration settings, this entry does not have to be confirmed) until it has moved by at least 20 MHz or at least 20 single steps have been performed. After setting another marker to the new notch frequency, the delta marker function of the spectrum analyzer is used to determine the difference Df between the two notch frequencies.
Based on the number of single steps (N) and the frequency difference Df , the delay time difference Dt can be calculated as follows:
Dt =
N 7.8125 ns Df [MHz]
For a coaxial cable ( 75 W, 02Y(ST)CY 0.45/2.0, Id. no.: AN00024795, 6L.4943.082.00-001 ), a delay time of approx. 3.9 ns/m and an attenuation of 20dB/100m at 140 MHz can be assumed. This results in the following compensation cable length:
l=
Dt N = 2.003 m 3.9 ns/m Df [MHz] N 2.003 m Df [MHz]
l=
Note:
By activating the manual phase shift of the combiner in the Single step mode ( => disable Auto-run first), the phase shifter in the combiner is shifted by 2.8125 per step, so that this frequency offset in the IF spectrum can be calculated as delay time difference per step (N)!

To condition 2 (multiple notches): The difference in length between the main and diverity path is so high that two or three notches occur in 1 the band.

Dt =
1000 ns Df [MHz]
For a coaxial cable ( 75 W, 02Y(ST)CY 0.45/2.0, Id. no.: AN00024795, 6L.4943.082.00-001), a delay time of approx. 3.9 ns/m and an attenuation of 20dB/100m at 140 MHz can be assumed. This results in the following compensation cable length:

Fine adjustment : Insert a compensation cable with the calculated length plus a spare length of approx. 1 m into the electrically shorter signal path ( X2/X22 --- X24 ). After activation of the Auto-run mode, a notch considerably flatter and faster must now move through the spectrum from right to left. Should this notch still move from left to right, the inserted cable is too short. The compensation cable is then shortened step by step by about 40 cm checking the notch direction after each step. The cable length is correct if the notch direction just starts to change (from left to right) or if there is no more visible notch movement within the spectrum.
Using the Delay compensation setting (range of values: 0 255 ), a fine adjustment can now be performed. By reducing the preadjusted value of 255 (corresponds to minimum delay), the delay time of the compensation path can be additionally increased by up to 2 ns (see page 4-40 ). For changing this value, the Compensation active setting must first be deactivated. The value must be selected so that the condition described below is nearly achieved. With an exact delay compensation, a clearly visible flat fading effect of up to 30 dB occurs during a sweep process. Due to unbalances in the channel branching networks, there might still be ripples in the spectrum, but there must no longer be a notch moving through it. The diagram depicted below shows four different times of a sweep process for the described condition.

The signal is delayed in the IF path of the diversity receiver before the two IF signals are combined.

4.15 Alignment of systems with protection switching configuration

Key word 4-56 Alignment
In order to permit bit-error-free switchover (hitless), the system must be aligned. In the scope of this alignment, the different delay times of all channels are compensated, so that the switch always receives synchronous data and can switch over from an operating channel to the protection channel without loss of sync. Protection channel PR1 is always used as reference channel for delay time calculations. The alignment can be performed for the overall system (initial commissioning) or for individual channels (replacement of the DPU of an OP/selective alignment). The special features of a hot standby system without OT (occasional traffic) function are described in section 4.14.5.
4.15.1 Alignment using the Service PC

Two different display modes, i.e. a graphical and a tabular display mode are available (configuration example: 3+2): The Alignment windows (DRS 155(1) - Alignment) below can be called up from the HW view as follows: Alignment

Commissioning Explication of MSP display modes: Graphical display:
The graphical display shows the individual transmission links sorted according to operating and protection channels. The Tx side (far end) is displayed on the left, the Rx side with the local port on the right side. Depending on the system expansion, two N to 1 multiplexers (RPS-C, Radio Protection Switching) can be used to switch the operating channels to one protection channels. This is indicated by the vertical connecting lines and colors. A mark at the crossing point shows the multiplexer switching status. If a channel is available, the alarm data are displayed in the first column. Otherwise, the background remains dark grey.
Tabular display The tabular display of the alignment mask gives a compact overview of the channels and their statuses. The colors of the individual table cells are sorted according to columns and assigned according to the following scheme: Channel red Channel failed/disturbed and protection switching failed/disturbed green a) Channel OK or b) Channel failed/disturbed, but protection switching OK red Channel not aligned green a) Channel aligned and protection switched or b) Channel aligned and Tx-side protection switching prepared

Meaning of alarms INT-A INT-B Align RPS-AIS
General alarm "Module defective" of the associated DPU module. General alarm "Module faulty" of the associated DPU module. Test switchover was not error-free. Channel is not correctly aligned. The associated DPU receives AIS in the protection switching block
calling up the window for the first time, errors might be displayed. (Since the + Attention: When system has not yet been aligned, there are probably alignment errors). The alignment must be performed using STM-1 signals without AIS. Otherwise the alignment process will be interrupted. Make sure that none of the channels transmits or receives AIS. Also ensure that none of the channels is blocked before you are starting the alignment process. This setting can be overwritten by a selective alignment (see section 4.14.4).
