SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Equipment emitting RF power (Reminder from site preparation procedure):
- The site must be compliant with ICNIRP guidelines or local regulation if more restrictive.
- The following rules should be strictly applied by Customer:
- Non authorized persons should not enter the compliance boundaries, if any, for the general public.
- Compliance RF boundaries, if any, related to Electro Magnetic Field exposure must be marked.
- Workers should be allowed to switch-off the power if they have to operate inside compliance
boundaries.
- Assure good cable connection.
- Install the antenna as high as possible from floor or area with public access (if possible the
cylinder delimitating the compliance boundaries, if any, or the cylinder corresponding to the
transmission area directly in front of antenna with the same diameter as the antenna, more than 2
meters high).
- Install the antenna as far as possible from other existing equipment emitting RF power.
- Anyway remind that someone standing in front of the 9400AWY antenna may cause traffic
shutdown
Place the relevant stickers :
EMF emission
warning sign
On the site when applicable (when people can cross the compliance boundaries
and/or the transmission area of the antenna, i.e. roof top installation)
- Warning label Do not stand on the antenna axis

The PSU is an integral part of the IDU Main/extension Board.
It contains DC/DC converters and filters. If the PSU fails, the entire board must be replaced. Two versions
are foreseen:
1) Floating (48-60) V nom. 20%;
2) Floating full range (24-60) V nom. 20%.
Very high currents are possible in the case of a short circuit at the battery power inputs. It is essential that
the battery power distribution line contain short circuit back-up protection with adequate breaking capacity.

WARNING ALL THESE OPERATIONS ARE PERFORMED WITH THE POWER OFF.
For IDU connection refer to chapter 8 on page 25. For ODU connection refer to paragraph 8.5 on page
30.
The antenna of station A is roughly pointed towards station B.
The configuration of the equipment corresponds to the expected one; if this condition is true no HW/SW
set up of the INDOOR and OUTDOOR units is needed because the equipment is preset at the factory.
Make visual inspection for subrack installation and cabling:
- the subrack allocation (or wall/table installation) according to the station lay-out
- the IDU rack and subrack ground connections
- the ODU ground connections
- The IDU / ODU interconnection cable is disconnected from IDU
- the power supply voltage is present (48 V dc) with the correct polarity at the power supply input
- In the case of a non-integrated antenna, the antenna and the ODU must be ground connected.
If the equipment is provided with wide band filters for frequency agility, particular attention must be paid
that the ODU frequency configuration is properly set. Check the TRS document (Test Report Sheet).
NB: Make sure that IDU-ODU cable connection is removed in order to verify via

First horizontal pre-pointing (azimuth)
Horizontally place the antenna according to the direction set down in the plant documents where, among
the various indication are indicated those concerning the reference points (Position of the tower or of the
building with respect to true north) in order to point the antenna in the set direction.
There are various procedures and technical means to adopt in order to mechanically pre-point the antenna,
and they can be implemented in various ways according to the various configurations and to the various
system conditions.
Geographical Antenna pointing - The standard instrumentation is the compass.
Second vertical pre-pointing (zenith)
Place the antenna vertically nearest to its operating angle.
The technical and operative procedure adopted to vertically point the antenna is as previously implemented
to horizontally pre-point.
Note
a ) At the end of the pre-pointing operation, slowly block all the horizontal and vertical regulating system of
the antenna taking care not to modify dish direction
b ) Perform final antenna pointing (or connection) only after all antenna and ODU systems are fully
installed.
(azimuth) Fine tuning Antenna pointing Swipe the antenna from left to right side monitoring the
PRx and reaching the maximum PRx level.
(zenith) Fine tuning Antenna pointing Swipe the antenna from top to bottom side monitoring the
PRx and reaching the maximum PRx level.
PRx level Monitoring:
Monitor the ODU PRx AGC level by connecting the Multimeter through the supplied special
ODU cable interface to the Outdoor Unit. For the use of this cable refer to Annex F on page 95.
The Rx received power can be measured also using a special cable, see paragraph 8.7 on page 31.
With the turnbuckles, fine tune the elevation and bearing settings until you obtain the maximum Rx
power from station A.
Tighten the side-mounted elevation locking screw.
Received power level displayed on the PSK is greater than 70 dBm.
POINTING THE ANTENNA - STATION A
Adjust the orientation of the antenna in the same way as for station B.
After this operation the radio link between the two stations should be present; perform the following actions
to test the functionality of this link.
