In addition to the normal Hybrid, there is a 38GHz TX Attenuator for PASOLINK. The TX Attenuator comprises directional attenuator, antenna interface, radio mounting interface and polarizer to provide attenuation only for the TX signal. The RX signal power, received by a single polarized antenna, is sent to outdoor unit (ODU) through the TX Attenuator with less than 2dB loss. On the other hand, the TX signal power transmitted from ODU is sent to antenna through the TX Attenuator with more than 30dB attenuation. The TX Attenuator is very useful in regions where EIRP regulation is strict. The NEC 38GHz TX Attenuator is suited for Andrew or RFS Antenna and NEC 38G ODU

Fit the O- ring into the antenna flange. The table below shows whether the small or large O-ring is to be used. NEC do not recommend the application of silicon grease to O-Rings

.
ANT-W/G - ODU

Notes: * Do not use both small O-ring and large O-ring simultaneously. Large Oring size is different according to frequency band, as follows:

For horizontal polarisation rotate the ODU until the plate marked H is at the top, and locate the guide pin in the hole on the antenna. It is important to ensure that the holes align and that the antenna and ODU flanges mate correctly. For vertical polarisation, rotate the ODU until the plate marked V is at the top. Note: Only the 18-38 GHz band Andrew/RFS direct mount antenna has the option to remote mount the ODU by use of waveguide. These are therefore supplied with two O-rings; one large, one small, but only one O-ring is to be used. If the small O-ring is used for ODU direct mount installation, a gap may occur between ODU and antenna for RF interface. This may cause transmission problems The 13/15 GHz band antenna does not have small O-ring as this antenna does not have the waveguide-attach option.

Ref: Installation S04606, section 2 Attach the ODU to the bracket using the four screws provided, and tighten to a torque of 4Nm. The ODU must be earthed to the pole using a 16mm2 flexible PVC coated copper wire from the earth stud (FG) on the ODU. The earth wire should be attached to a suitable point using a proprietary earth strap, or bolt. The materials from which the hardware is manufactured must have low electrical resistance (< 0.3 ohms), and must not cause galvanic reaction. This can be prevented by using Denso tape or an inhibitor paste depending on the material used. Where stainless steel hardware is used throughout, then only an inhibitor paste is needed, otherwise both Denso, and inhibitor paste must be used. Locate the ODU within an area protected by lightning rod. To avoid surge currents caused by lightning circulating in the equipment earth system, connect the equipment earth system (frame ground) to ground of the lightning rod at ground level. _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________

Pole mounting of Direct Mount Hybrid, ODU and antenna for 1+1 System NEC has developed a Hybrid Combiner/Splitter over the full range of microwave frequencies for PASOLINK series digital microwave radio. This Hybrid comprises a directional coupler, antenna interface, radio mounting interfaces and polarizers. The RF signal power received by the single polarized antenna is equally distributed and sent to two outdoor units through the Hybrid for 1+1 protected systems. There are two types of NEC Hybrid Combiner/Splitter, one is a coaxial cable connection type for 7/8GHz Bands and the other is Waveguide connection type for 13-38GHz Bands. The NEC Hybrid is suited for Andrew or RFS Antenna. The maximum loss through the Hybrid is <3.8dB, the port isolation being >20dB. Each field fixing kit for Pasolink contains ODU sealing rings, antenna mounting screws and antenna bracket fixing screws. Remove flange protection and install O-ring to antenna interface ports Mount the assembled unit to antenna using 4 screws. Gradually torque the antenna mounting screws to 4.0Nm to ensure good microwave contact ODU Installation Fix two ODUs to the hybrid with four bolts, respectively. Notes: 1. Be careful not to damage the O-ring. 2. *Tighten to 4.0Nm torque. Remove flange protection (blue tape and/or cap) and install O-rings to ODU interface ports. Attach ODU1, orientated for correct polarisation to the hybrid ensuring that the waveguide flange lines up without damaging the O ring. Repeat for ODU2 on the other side. Each ODU must be earthed as explained earlier. ODU blanking plate The ODU blanking plate is stored on the rear of the antenna bracket for Pasolink. It is protected with copper based anti seize paste on the screw threads. In the event of ODU failure, remove the faulty ODU leaving the ODU O-ring seal in position. Remove the blanking plate from its stored position, and screw into unused mounting holes in the recess around the relevant ODU port, to avoid RF power leaking from the hybrid and for waterproofing. Torque screws to 0.5Nm max finger tight is sufficient to ensure a waterproof seal. Downgrading from 1+1 system to 1+0 system Remove ODUs and Hybrid. Attach ODU direct to dish as per previous slides or to ODU remote mounting bracket as described later. This is normally carried out after Common Unit has been set up for 1+0 system and IDU is switched off or removed. That way, the alarms are suppressed.

Remote ODU Arrangements Antenna Installation For Remote Mounted ODU Assemble the antenna including the mounting steel, in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Attach the dish to the pole, ensuring that there will be sufficient access for maintenance and antenna alignment. Fix temporarily in position with the U-bolts at a convenient height and orientation. Ensure that the drain holes point downwards. Release the U-bolts sufficiently to raise the assembly to its required height and rotate the assembly to point the antenna at the remote site. If the remote site is not visible, add the current value of the difference between true and magnetic north to the bearing given in the Microwave Link Deployment Form to obtain the approximate magnetic bearing for compass alignment of the antenna. This value is to be found on maps. It does vary with time and location, so the correct map for the area, and the latest version is to be used

Remote mounting of 7/8G ODU for 1+0 System:

Fix coaxial cable to the cable clamp with two bolts.

Connect the cables between antenna and ODU with torque wrench respectively (pay attention to connecting torque in order not to break connector screw).

In the case of the 7/8GHz V4 ODU, the N-type coaxial connector is the standard method of presentation. SMA may also be an option. A waveguide flange option (PDR 84) will be available during a future release.

Flexi-twist Waveguide Minimise any localised twisting and bending by distributing any required twisting along as great a length as possible and maintaining maximum radius bends. Locate the waveguide beneath supporting steelwork wherever possible to prevent climbing damage. Secure at intervals not exceeding 300mm using tie-wraps taking care not to crush the waveguide. Remote Mount and ODU in 1+0 System Assemble the remote mount bracket, and attach to the support pole, using the M10 Ubolts provided. Position the bracket to give easy access for maintenance and replacement. The bracket can be assembled for both right hand and left hand ODU mounting relative to the pole. Attach the ODU support to the remote mount bracket, using the hardware provided. Tighten to 4Nm. Note: Remove protection metallic plate covering waveguide hole on ODU. Mount a waveguide to the ODU, fix the waveguide to the ODU with four bolts Note: Use the small O-ring and be careful not to damage it. Remote Mounted Hybrid in 1+1 System (13-38GHz range) The hybrid is a single assembly, which requires the antenna port to be adapted for the required polarisation. The factory default is vertical polarisation. To set horizontal polarisation rotate all the plates so that the H label is positioned up. Mount the hybrid directly onto the pole mounting bracket, using the hardware provided. Attach the ODUs to the hybrid as explained earlier.

Cabling and Connectors - IF Cable A single coaxial cable links an ODU to a channel unit. For cable lengths up to 90m, RG223/U is typically used, with appropriate ' N' type connectors provided by the installer. For cable lengths greater than 90m, Belden 9913 is typically used, with appropriate ' N' type connectors provided by the installer. Prior to installation and with the ODU end terminated, check the cable for continuity of the screen and centre conductor. Check for short circuit between screen and centre conductor. Ensure that a service/drip-loop of about 1 metre is allowed for at the antenna end for maintenance or relocation purposes. The excess cabling must be secured to the pole. Route and secure the cable using either black UV resistant tie-wraps or studding and REM straps or equivalent approved if agreed with a third-party site owner. Where the cable is continuously supported by the cable tray in horizontal and vertical runs, tie in securely at maximum intervals of 1000mm. Where the cable is run on cable racking or its weight is not supported at all e.g. on walls or trays fixed vertically to walls, tie in or fix at maximum intervals of 500mm. Where there is insufficient space on the trays or racking, or they have not been provided, it is permissible to fix the cables to the pole or direct to a tower leg, but not to LDF Heliax feeder cables or AC power cabling. NOTE: Care should be taken to ensure that the coaxial cable is not damaged by strapping too tightly or strapping against sharp edges. Note:Tighten connectors to 196 Ncm torque. In case of employing hitless 1+1 protection, ensure the length of the two IF cables are the same (within 50m difference)

Danger: Do not disconnect the coaxial cable before turning off the power switch on the IDU. Do not touch the IF cable jack core before turning off the power switch.

Start immediately next to the casing and bind the connector and cable ends to 15mm beyond the cable connector, then continue to bind back up to the start position. For an efficient seal, the self-amalgamating tape is to be pulled so as to reduce its width by 50% and overlap each turn 50%. When complete, it is advisable to cover the self-amalgamating tape with one layer of PVC tape also applied with a 50% overlap of each layer from the bottom up. _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________

Ref: Equipment Description, S04605, Section 3 On initial commissioning, it is recommended that you connect the IDU to ODU after the TX/RX frequency setting has been set on the IDU. This process is most important to avoid the possibility of transmitting on the incorrect frequency. If powering up a 1+1 system, when neither channel is working, first set the OPR SEL switch to the desired (N0.1 or No.2) position and power on the selected MD Unit or set the OPE SEL switch to neutral (Auto) position and power on both MD units. When either No.1 or No.2 channel is working, set the OPR SEL No.1-No.2 switch on the IDU to the working channel side, then turn on the power switch of the not working channel. After powering up the IDU, connect the PC to the common unit, via the serial cable to the LA Port. Warning: Do not turn on the power of the IDU with a cable connected between the PC and RA PORT of the IDU. To access the remote end, the cable should be connected to the RA Port on the common unit (LCT Remote Access only applies if the PM card is not fitted to the IDU). Wait for 10 seconds or more to turn OFF the power switch of the IDU again after turning it ON. Do not repeat turning ON/OFF the power in a short time, or the IDU may fail. In a 1+1 system, before turning off the POWER switch of No.1or No. 2 channel, perform MAINT ON condition with the LCT.

To summarise link panning: Loosen the azimuth adjustment mechanism. Move the antenna through 180 centred on the required azimuth, to locate the maximum AGC voltage. This ensures that the antenna is not aligned to a side-lobe. Tighten the azimuth adjustment mechanism, making sure that the voltage does not drop as the mechanism is tightened. Loosen the elevation adjustment mechanism. Move the antenna through as wide an arc as possible centred on the required elevation, to locate the maximum AGC voltage. This ensures that the antenna is not aligned to a side-lobe. Tighten the elevation adjustment mechanism, making sure that the voltage does not drop as the mechanism is tightened. Using the table provided, calculate the RSL from the measured AGC voltage. A discrepancy of 20dBm or greater between the required and actual RSL may be caused by one of the antennas being aligned on a side-lobe, or a polarisation mismatch. Repeat the adjustments on the remote end, and continue in turn until the RSL is within limits of the value specified on the Link Deployment Form, as specified by your company

Link commissioning - Receive Signal Level Measurement The AGC voltage can be measured via the AGC connector on each ODU. It will range from 1.0V to 4.0V, depending on received level. AGC Voltage Optimisation The AGC voltage is measured at the connector at each ODU using a calibrated voltmeter, and suitable interconnecting lead. For 1+1 systems, optimise the RSL for each path, with the other path disabled. There is a graph supplied with each ODU, indicating AGC Voltage v Received Signal Level. This is to be used to calculate the measured RSL against the requirements.. If neither sources of information is available, an estimate of the RSL can be derived from the following equation. The accuracy of this method is approximately 6dB. RSL = 25 x (AGC 4.8) where RSL is in dBm and AGC is in Volts

The AGC voltage can also be read via the PC. From the main menu, select the Monitoring option, by entering [3][Return]. Select Data option, by entering [1][Return]. The receiving AGC voltage level is displayed for each ODU. To refresh the data, enter [1][Return].

Ref: Equipment Description (TRP), S04605 section 3.2 Danger: The -43 V DC power is superimposed on the center conductor of the coaxial cable between the indoor unit (IDU) and outdoor unit (ODU). Connecting a measurement set may damage that set and touching the coaxial cable core may cause electrical shock. So, turn off the power switch on the IDU before disconnecting coaxial cable between the IDU and ODU. Caution: To protect the internal circuits against electrostatic discharge, engineers are requested to wear a wrist band and connect it to the frame ground for Electrostatic Protection (ESP) before detaching the top cover Before disconnecting the waveguide, connector or antenna from the RF IN/OUT of the ODU, turn off the power switch on the IDU or set ODU to mute condition (this control is performed by personal computer). _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________

Link commissioning - RSL Out of Limits Where the derived RSL is outside the expected limits of the value specified on the LDF, the reasons for the discrepancy must be established and corrected. (These limits are company specific, but are usually around 4dB) There are a number of possible reasons for the discrepancy, including equipment calibration. Before suspecting equipment calibration, however, ensure that at least the following have been eliminated. Equipment parameters (transmit power and frequency) set up at variance with the LDF requirement. Equipment hardware (antenna size, flexi-twist waveguide length) installed at variance with the LDF requirement. Antennas cross-polarised. Physical damage (distorted waveguide, dented antenna). Path obstruction (near field or mid-path). Extra temporary path attenuation due to rain or fog. The in-built radio monitoring facility may prove useful. Use options: monitoring and data The voltage readings should be within the ranges: CHECK ITEM TX power RX level ALLOWABLE RANGE Depends on transmitter power 0 to 4.6 V DC (for 7-38 GHz ODU) Depends on received signal level 0.8 to 4.4 V DC (for 7-38 GHz ODU)

Ref: Measurement Procedure, S04607, Appendix Link commissioning - BER Test BER measurement cannot be performed on channels which are occupied with LAN traffic, therefore change the setting from LAN to 2MB signal transmission using the LCT/PNMT before BER measurement. Connect a BER test set to the DDF at the local end and loop the equipped tributaries at the far end. Set up the test set for the following bit pattern: 2E15-1, HDB3, 2Mbit/s. Where the cable impedance is required, set to 75 ohms/120 ohms as appropriate. Check that all alarms on the IDU at each site are extinguished i.e. all LEDs are green. Check and record that traffic over the link has a zero error count over 5 minutes or alternatively measure BER at each channel for 30 minutes to verify that it is 1x10E-9 or less. It is usually preferred that each tributary is checked one by one. That way, crossed tributaries will be found. Daisy chained testing is also acceptable as this will find TX/RX crosses.

Ref: MDP Equipment Description, S04488, section 4 NEC does not recommend replacement of modules in an IDU unit. Whenever a fault is identified an an IDU unit, the complete IDU unit should be replaced with a spare. The faulty equipment is to be returned to the factory for repair. Cautions (these have been mentioned before but serve as a reminder): While the power supply is ON, do not remove/connect the power supply connector. Otherwise, the DC-DC CONV may fail. Before starting maintenance, including operation of the OPR SEL SW on the front panel of the equipment, select MAINT ON mode using the LCT. After all maintenance actions have been completed, perform MAINT OFF setting. Do not disconnect IF cable between the IDU and the ODU in operating condition, as this may damage the IDU and ODU. Do not remove/connect the IF cable with IDU power ON, turn IDU power OFF before remounting the IF cable. When changing the SW UNIT, traffic is interrupted. To replace the SW UNIT with a spare, both No. 1 and No. 2 MD UNITs have to removed. After replacing an IDU, first set the TX/RX frequency from the IDU, then connect the IDU to ODU. This will avoid the possibility of transmitting on the wrong frequency. _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________

Turn off the POWER switch on the front panel of the IDU 2. Remove waterproofing and loosen tightening rings of the IF IN/OUT connector (N) on the ODU by turning them counter-clockwise, 3. Remove the waterproofing for waveguide connector type of ODU, and remove the waveguide from the RF IN/OUT by removing the four waveguide fixing screws using a screwdriver, Note: Be careful not to damage the O-ring between the waveguide and ODU. 4. Remove earth cable 5. Loosen eight screws (M6) on the ODU 6. Remove the ODU Notes: Be careful not to damage the O-ring between the waveguide and ODU. 7. Replace ODU with a spare, taking care when handling the coaxial/waveguide contact surface. Torque up the ODU screws: 4.5Nm or Direct or Remote Mount, 2.8Nm to Hybrid 8. Reconnect the earth cable 9. Reconnect the IF cable and waveguide, if relevant 10. Redo all waterproofing and cable/waveguide supports 11. Turn on the POWER switch on the front panel of the IDU 12. Confirm the parameters and functionality of the replacement ODU and perform a BER test if required. The ODU is considered as fully warmed up 30 minutes after being power up

In 1+1 system, to avoid occurrence of bit errors due to microphonic properties, when installing the standby ODU on to the antenna direct mounting HYB, protect the working ODU from mechanical knocks.

Ref: Equipment Description, S04605, Section 4.4.2 Before disconnecting waveguide, connector or antenna from RF IN/ OUT of the ODU, turn off PWR switch of the IDU or set ODU to mute condition (this control is performed by personal computer as shown in following procedure). Alarm conditions are identified through red alarm ODU LED indication on the IDU or notification from external equipment During alarm conditions, a red ODU indicator on the IDU is lit except when there is a power supply failure During maintenance, the IDU, and therefore ODU, should be set to maintenance condition using a PC as shown. (This will normally suppress alarms caused by maintenance activities) If an ODU is replaced, the replacement ODU will be considered as fully warmed up after 30 minutes of being powered up. Note: 8x2Mb/s requires 14MHz frequency spacing and 16x2Mb/s requires 28MHz frequency spacing In 1+1 system, when demounting the ODU from the antenna direct mounting HYB, mount the attached SHORT PLATE to the demounted port of the HYB to avoid RF power leaking from the hybrid and for waterproofing. _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________

1+0 mode in a 1+1 Chassis It is possible to use a 1+1 radio in a 1+0 configuration. To disable the additional 1+1 features, select the 1+0 mode: From the Settings Menu: Enter [Control-A]. Select option 5. Select 1+0: Enter [1][Return] for 1+0

Upgrading 1+0 systems (in 1+1 chassis) to 1+1 system Use of the 1+1 chassis for all modes makes it possible to upgrade to 1+1 with minimal service interruption. The work order is as follows: 1. Lock the TX/RX path onto channel 1 2. Install lower Traffic Channel Unit 3. Install the second IF cable and terminate this on to the lower Traffic Channel Unit 3. If splitter/hybrid had previously been installed, install the second ODU. Otherwise a splitter/hybrid will need to be installed. Obviously, this involves traffic interruption and TX power level adjustments to take additional losses into consideration 4. Terminate the second IF cable on to the second ODU. 5. Enable the 1+1 features: From the Settings Menu: Enter [Control-A]. Select option 5. Select 1+1. Enter [0][Return] for 1+1

Upgrading 1+0 systems (in 1+0 chassis) to 1+1 system (1+1 chassis) This upgrade involves the removal of the existing IDU and ODU and following the procedure for installing a 1+1 system. The existing cabling (IF, DC power and tributary) should be used to minimise traffic interruption
