C Commissioning Instructions for the ETL600 Equipment
C.1 General
Most of the commissioning tests (including fully automatic equalization) for the ETL600 system can
be done with the help of PC based software HMI600. It is assumed, that all assembled Tx filters
and Rx filter are tuned. Under normal conditions only level adjustments will be done during
commissioning. It is required to work through the document Programming and Testing of ETL600,
1KHW001493, which is dispatched along with the equipment, before starting the commissioning.
In case of some adjustments like Tx RF level, Rx RF level etc. the permissible limits are calculated
by the HMI600 and displayed in the dialog boxes.
The pilot signal is QPSK modulated to accommodate both Signalling and Embedded Operations
Channel. As a result, the level of the pilot signal changes continuously (by about 3 dB) due to
which its exact level cannot be measured.
The equipment must be tested using a standard cable impedance or in local loop mode before
connecting the equipment via the coupling device to the power line.

ESD protection

Caution
The modules in this equipment contain devices, which can be damaged by
electrostatic discharges. Appropriate measures must be taken before
unpacking modules or withdrawing them from equipment racks. Essential
precautions to prevent ESD damage when handling or working on modules
are grounding straps for technical personnel and the provision of anti-static
workbenches. Modules may only be shipped either in their original packing
or installed in equipment racks.
ESD

Insertion and removal of plug-in modules
Neither removing nor inserting of modules is permitted during power-up of
the equipment. Preceding to plug in and out of modules the power supply
of the equipment has to be switched OFF.
An exception to this is the Rx filter P4RX, which has to be removed and
inserted while the equipment remains powered when performing the Rx
level adjustment procedure.
Caution

The local loop can be established or interrupted with the following operation:

Remove hybrid P3LE, insert dummy load P3LK and wait
until Link Alarm disappears.
Establish local loop
Remove dummy load P3LK. Interrupt local loop
Remove dummy load P3LK, insert hybrid P3LE and
connect RF-cable to X175 at P1LA.
Return to normal operation

Note: After plugging in the dummy load P3LK, wait until Link Alarm disappears.

Caution
Activating a Tuning tone, simulating alarms, get the equipment to local loop
operation, etc. disturbs the link.

E EN 4/16
1KHW001495-EN

C.1.1 Checking the line of communication
It is essential that the behaviour and characteristics of the line of communication between the sets
of PLC terminal equipment be checked as described in the instruction manual, 1KHW001489,
chapter 7, 'Commissioning'.
C.1.2 Visual checks before switching ON the equipment.

DANGER
Check the wiring of protective earth to the equipment. Check, if a
protective earth wire of at least 25 mm
2
has been connected visibly to
the earth bolt of the cubicle.

Caution
Check power supply polarity and voltage.
In case of an AC supply, jumpers, located inside of B5LC, had to be set, see
document Input Voltage Change B5LC, 1KHL015788.

In case of battery supply: Check if the positive pole (+) of the battery is grounded. If it is, place an
earth jumper to the positive pole of the cubicle supply.

Note: Switch the equipment ON now.
C.2 Power supply for channel rack P7LA
Check the auxiliary supply voltage. In case of 80 W units, the supply voltage for both the upper
rack and lower rack must be checked.
There is no access to the internal DC voltages generated for the equipment. However in case
these voltages are outside their limit, it will be indicated by a hardware alarm.
C.3 Connect to equipment, upload configuration
The equipment is accessed by the HMI600 using a 1:1 serial RS-232 cable between the
P4LT/P4LU and COM port of PC. The equipment identification and necessary channel settings are
noted.
1. Start the HMI600, open the preconfigured file and connect to the equipment as described
in the instruction manual, 1KHW001489, chapter 4, section Communication to the
ETL600.
2. On the File menu click New. This opens the Connect dialog box.
3. Click Logon, Equipment ID, with ID 0.
4. Click Read & Write access
5. Click Upload configuration
6. Click OK. This opens a HMI600 child window.
C.4 Change configuration, if necessary

3. On the Configuration menu click System... and then click the Channel settings tab.
Enter the new value in the Max. power (PEP) field.
4. Click OK.
5. On the Equipment menu click Download configuration
6. Store configuration to the flash eprom. On the Equipment menu click Store
configuration to FLASH. Answer all dialogs with Yes or OK.
C.5 Transmitter
The Tx RF level and the Tx alarm threshold levels were adjusted during final testing in the works.
They need to be changed only if the return loss is too low.
C.5.1 Adjust Tx RF level

This step is required only if the Tx filter had to be retuned or exchanged after the
final testing in the works.
Note:
The Tx RF level is adjusted using the HMI600, a level meter 50 Ohm (or 75 Ohm) and a
termination resistor or attenuator.
1. In the Tuning & testing dialog box click Adjust Tx RF level. This opens the Adjust Tx
RF level dialog box.
2. Remove the remote equipment by disconnecting the coaxial cable. The local equipment
has to be terminated with 45, 75 or 125 Ohm, depending on the application.
3. Click Start.
4. Measure RF test tone level in dBm at the measuring point RF LINE MONITOR on the
front plate of the RF hybrid P3LE with a level meter set to an input impedance of 50 Ohm.
If a 75 Ohm level meter (indicating in dBm) is used, apply a correction of +0.2 dBm to the
measured value.

Note: When measuring at the test socket RF line monitor, the following tolerances apply:
0.4 dB for frequencies between 16 kHz and 500 kHz
1.0 dB for frequencies between 500 kHz and 1 MHz.

Alternatively, measure the test tone level at the RF line socket (X175) via an attenuator
with impedance 45, 75 or 125 Ohm and a level meter set to the same input impedance
(The attenuator is required in order not to overdrive the input of the level meter).
5. Adjust the value in the Tx RF level [dB] field, download it by clicking Set and measure
the test tone level again. Continue until the measurement corresponds to the permissible
value displayed in the dialog box.

E EN 6/16
1KHW001495-EN

C.5.2 Adjust Tx alarm threshold level, if output power was modified
The Tx alarm level threshold is adjusted using the HMI600, the jumper CH and the potentiometer
on the amplifier P1LA.
1. In the Tuning & testing dialog box, click Adjust Tx alarm level.
2. Set the jumper CH/CL to the position CH if not jet done.
3. Click Activate Tx alarm level.
4. Turn the potentiometer R116 on P1LA anticlockwise until the Tx alarm LED goes on.
5. Check that Tx alarm LED on the hybrid (also on the combiner in case of 80 W equipment)
lights. After the programmed delay time, the Hardware alarm on the front plate of
P4LT/P4LW appears. The relay contacts on the cable V9OT Pin 2-3 are closed.
6. Turn the potentiometer R116 on P1LA slowly clockwise until the Tx alarm LED goes off.
7. Click OK. The LEDs go off and the contacts open after the programmed delay.
Note: Exact measurement of the programmed delay times is not essential.
C.6 Receiver
C.6.1 Adjust Rx RF level
The Rx RF level is adjusted using the HMI600.
1. In the Tuning & testing dialog box click Adjust Rx RF level.
2. Follow the instructions given in the dialog box.

Note: It is really necessary to disconnect the RF line coaxial cable of the local equipment
as well as to plug out the Rx filter P4RX!!!

The number of adjustment steps depends on the presence of the Rx filter P4RX
(configured with Configuration / System / Equipment settings / Assemblies in
rack P7LC).
Note:

Note: In case of a large frequency gap between Tx and Rx frequency bands:
- the rated level in the second adjustment step can be up to 40 dB higher than in
the first adjustment step,
- the rated level in the second adjustment step cant be attained when the Rx pot
reaches its stop position during adjustment.

Note: If in doubt about the effective line attenuation, enter the lowest possible attenuation.

C.6.2 Connect RF cable and set alarm thresholds
Now connect the RF cable to the ETL600.
If the remote equipment is operational, set the alarm thresholds:
1. On the Equipment menu click Upload status.
2. On the Configuration menu click System... and then click the Alarm settings tab.
3. Click the button Calculate thresholds. This sets the alarms thresholds for pilot level,
SNR level and the AGC blocking level of each configured APLC channel to the following
values:
Pilot level alarm threshold: Actual pilot level 12 dB
SNR alarm threshold: 12 dB
AGC blocking level: Actual pilot level 16 dB
4. Close the dialog box by clicking OK.
5. On the Equipment menu click Download configuration.
6. Click Yes, OK and Yes in the following message boxes (default buttons).
C.6.3 Check link alarms
If the remote equipment is operational, the link alarm of the local equipment should be OFF in a
few seconds.
Verify that the link alarm of the remote equipment is OFF as well. There are several ways to do
that:
- Connect to the remote equipment with HMI600 and upload the status.
- Program one of the R1BC user alarms to the link alarm of the remote equipment and view this
user alarm in the alarm status of the local equipment
- Activate Alarm Polling for the remote equipment.
C.6.4 Tune RF hybrid P3LE
The goal of hybrid tuning is to increase the trans-hybrid loss, which reduces the amount of signal of
the local transmitter entering the local receiver.

Note: The tuning is not necessary when the ETL600 is operated without Rx filter
P4RX. In this case, default settings must be used:
- Jumpers RA, LP, CD and CE set and the remaining C-jumpers in P position.
- Hybrid impedance chosen nearest to the impedance of the coupling filter, i.e.
45, 75 or 125 Ohm with jumpers LNx, Mx and Nx, where x=1 for 45 Ohm,
x=2 for 75 Ohm and x= 3 for 125 Ohm.

Note: The transhybrid loss that has been achieved by tuning the hybrid is equal to the
increase of the measured RF level when the RF cable is unplugged. If it is
higher than 20 dB, the tuning can be considered as successful and may be
terminated.
The RF line coaxial cable is connected to the equipment. The PCB extender type I9BK or the Tx
tuning adapter P3LL is inserted in place of the RF hybrid P3LE and the RF hybrid is plugged on top
of it.
The settings on P3LL if used are:
Function: B
Position of S1: L1, FILTER
Position of S2: FILTER
Position of S3: LINE
Position of LOAD: LINE

E EN 9/16
1KHW001495-EN

Tuning the hybrid using the HMI600.
1. On the Equipment menu click Tuning & testing. This opens the Tuning & testing dialog
box.
2. Click Tune RF hybrid. This opens the Tune RF hybrid dialog box.
3. Check the jumper setting for the line-balancing network on the hybrid: RA, LP, CD and
CE must be set. The remaining C-jumpers must be in P position.
Check if the impedance is correctly set to 45, 75 or 125 Ohm with jumpers LNx, Mx and
Nx, where x=1 for 45 Ohm, x=2 for 75 Ohm and x= 3 for 125 Ohm, nearest to the
impedance of the coupling filter.
4. Click Start measurement and wait until the measured Rx RF level appears in the dialog
box.

Note: It is possible that the operator phone of remote equipment is ringing during
the measurement. This has no effect on the measurement.
5. The HMI600 selectively measures the level of the RF signal from the own transmitter.
This level is set to a minimum with the aid of a balancing network (resistance with jumper
RA/RB/RC/RD/RP and potentiometer R226, inductance with jumper LA LN/LP and
capacitance with jumpers CA to CL, CP) as described below.
6. Reduce the measured Rx RF level moving the R-jumper between RA, RB, RD, RD and
RP. When the best jumper position has been found, turn potentiometer R226 until a first
minimum is reached.
7. Search for the next minimum by moving the L-jumper sequentially to LA, LB, LC, , LN.
If, however, jumper LA does not produce any reduction, set Jumper LP. (LA produces the
smallest inductive current and LN the largest).

Note: Only one L jumper (LA LN) may be inserted at any time
8. If a minimum could be achieved with LA to LN, reduce the measured Rx RF level
again to the next minimum using potentiometer R226. Further improvement can be
achieved using small capacitor values with jumpers CA, CB or CC. C jumpers may be
inserted in parallel.
This concludes the tuning of the hybrid.
Click Stop measurement and Cancel to close the dialog box.
9. If no minimum could be achieved with LA to LN, reduce the level using jumpers CA
CN until the next minimum is reached. The capacitors are binary weighted with CA the
smallest and CN the largest capacitor. C jumpers may be inserted in parallel.
Conclude the tuning by adjusting R226 for the next minimum.
Click Stop measurement and Cancel to close the dialog box.
C.6.5 SNR pilot
1. In menu Equipment click Upload status.
2. Check signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the pilots of the configured APLC channels.
C.7 Equalization
Refer to 1KHW001494 APLC Channel Equalization for ETL600. The document is put into a short
instruction, printed in the following chapters C.7.1 and C.7.2.

Note: The equalization routine can also be done at the remote equipment via EOC
communication.

Note: If telephony is configured with a speech cut off frequency of 3400 Hz in any of
the APLC channels, the equalizer must be enabled for each of these channels.

C.11.8 Testing the teleoperation ports
For testing the teleoperation ports, first nominal signal levels must be fed into the teleoperation
input port with a level generator. The output level at the other side of the link must then be
measured and compared to the nominal output level. An example of a equipment configuration is
given below.
1. The Reference signal level input, listed in the configuration printout should be fed into
AFx-IN.
2. The Reference signal level output of AFx-OUT, listed in the configuration printout is the
expected output level.
3. Take the measurement with a selective level meter.
Example:
Applying above method to the configuration given below, a sinus with 9.0 dBm is fed into AFx-IN.
The tone is expected with 9.0 dBm at AFx-OUT of local equipment.

Equipment:
TELEOPERATION
Port AFx: Disconnectable at CH1
Squelch: Disabled
Reference signal: 600 Bd FSK
Reference signal level input: -9.00 dBm (RMS)
Reference signal level output: -9.00 dBm (RMS)
Weight of port: 0.71
Max. output level: 4.34 dBm (PEP)
Relative input level: -4.0 dBr
Relative output level: -4.0 dBr
Input filter: None
Output filter: None
