Typical RD-9120 unit consists of the following components: Low Noise Amplifier (LNA): One Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is installed in each UL/DL branch. The repeater UL/DL ATT value corresponds individually to UL/DL LNA gain. Frequency Selector (FS): The FS is used to select the demand carriers and reject unwanted signals effectively. Duplexer (DPX): The DPX is located towards the DT and MT connections, used to combine/divide the uplink and downlink signals. Main Control Unit (MCU): The MCU is used to monitor and control the operation parameters of the repeater and provides telecommunication interface for remote control and indicator. LED indicators (L1~L4) indicate the respective operation status. Coupler There is one coupler located towards DT connection and MT connection. On the DT coupler there is one -30dB coupling port and one -20dB coupling port. The -30dB coupling port is used to check downlink signals from BS or uplink signals retransmitted by the repeater. The -17dB coupling port is used to connect to wireless modem to transmit remote control signals. On the MT coupler there is also one -20dB coupling port and is used to check uplink signals from mobile antenna or downlink signals retransmitted by the repeater.

Power Supply Unit (PSU): The PSU converts the input 220VAC or -48VDC into stable DC to supply power to FS, PA, LNA, MCU and to charge Li-ion battery. Surge protector: The surge protector is mounted next to the PSU. Within it there are three connections: 220V VAC Live, Neutral and ground. This provides protection to the PSU. It is assumed the antenna system will have ample lightning protection themselves. On the top of each surge protector is a little window, beneath which is a coloured indicator, ‘Green’ indicate protection is available, and in the event of a fault, these will turn to ‘Black’, and has to be replaced. When the equipment is DC powered, no surge protector is required. Wireless Modem: The wireless modem is mounted adjacent to the MCU. It has connection of RF, data and power. It is used for remote control and the MCU sends out alarms to the repeater OMC via the wireless modem. On the modem there is an indicator LED to show modem status. Li-ion Battery: The Li-ion battery-pack is enclosed within a plastic cover and provides back-up supply to the MCU for up to three hours in the event of mains failure. Distribution Board: The distribution board serves as a distributor for power and internal communication and connectivities to the function modules, MCU, RS232 port for local control.

Figure 8: Equipment connections

Ground connection To ensure safe operation of the product, a ground (earth) connection is required. For single phase AC power source, the product must be grounded by connecting the “earth wire” of the power cord to the ground terminal of the AC supply. For operating this product with DC power system (such as rectifiers), the product should not be connected to power systems that switch open the return lead because the return lead could function as the ground (earth) connection for the equipment. Protective Ground Connection The enclosure must be grounded securely by connecting a copper wire (CSA 16mm2) to the grounding terminal on the equipment/rack, and the other end to a protective ground (i.e. building earth point). An internationally acceptable color code of the ground connection wire is green/yellow. Such a ground connection implements the “Protective Ground Connection”, and must be connected to the equipment at the designated ground point. In general, do not connect the supply before establishing an adequate ground (earth) connection. Service voltage connection The repeater accepts single phase 220VAC power. The recommended AC connection is rated at AC220V, 10A and has three connections to include earth. The power cord was pre-wired to the PSU, and is identified by a label “AC 220V” or “DC -48V” adjacent to the cable gland. For communication sites with AC-DC power system, this product could be supplied to work with DC voltage of -48V. DC power connection from telecom rectifier is via a wire with CSA of 2.5mm2. DC voltage supply is hardwired to the rectifier equipment. For planning purposes, allow DC current up to 15A to be drawn when powered with -48V. The wiring to telecom rectifiers is outside the scope of this document, please consult and observe the installation guidelines for telecom rectifiers. Powering option: -48V connectivity The DC power cable for -48V is color coded, typically as BLUE for “-48V or Battery” and BLACK for “0V or Return” connections. On the PSU is a Combicon connector (plug), please consult the PSU pinout and identify the -48V and 0V pin and wire the DC power cable to the -48V and Return pin. Two pair of extra connectors exist for -48V DC input, and these could be left unconnected.

4.8 COMMISSIONING PROCEDURES

System commission can commence after the monitoring system has initialized. (e.g. when MCU LED L4 is off and L3 begin to flash). The commission procedure is as follow: Commissioning Tasks Observation 1. On-line & inquiry status

Enter into RD-9120 Main window. Initialization of monitoring system will be up in about 2 minutes, at that time, on MCU L4 is off and L3 begins to flash. Click ‘online’ button and inquiry the repeater’s status. Go to next step if there is no alarm. Else or, check the point of failure and handle the alarm.

Set site ID and telephone number 2. Set On/off Status / operating

band/ gain

Click ‘ON’ of power supply and set high edge and low edge of the repeater’s operating frequency, uplink/downlink master ATT (the maximum ATT value is +30dBand uplink/downlink assistant ATT (factory set value is 0dB).

3. Set monitoring system parameters

See RF information.

4. Test DL input power and align donor antenna

Observe DL input power from ‘Field (dBm)’. Align the direction of donor antenna till the DL input power reading is maximized.

5. Test DL output power and adjust DL ATT level

Set the DL ATT to the optimal level to avoid saturating the DL PA or to satisfy designing requirement.

6. Test coverage area field intensity and adjust mobile antenna .

Use test-handset to verify field intensity within the coverage area. If needed, re-align the mobile antenna to achieve the coverage as per customer requirement.

Note 1: If during operation, the equipment gain could not be set to maximum or the output power is not high enough due to influence of donor antenna and mobile antenna isolation, the value of ‘I’ should be re-calculated. If the output power has been high enough and ALC is enabled, then adjust gain for the downlink branch to achieve optimal Gain level.

Note 2: Output power may be variable due to TDMA technology employed in GSM devices. Take the maximum value when reading parameters.

7. Verify uplink gain and ensure test-call is proper and there’re no interfering BS

Adjust uplink gain and carryout test-call. Set the uplink gain slightly lower than downlink gain. Then carryout test call in the coverage area while adjusting uplink gain if required. Note: If the repeater locates near the BTS and the test-call performance is poor, this may be due to uplink noise interfere the BTS. Customers can calculate whether the repeater uplink noise interfere the BTS according to the table in appendix C.

Verify again there’s no unacceptable interference to BTS and Isolation meets the need after test-call.

5 OPERATION

Following installation and commissioning, occasional operation tasks to handling alarms may be required: Alarm condition Diagnosis Power down / power fault alarm

Check AC power cable and verify AC mains supply is normal. During power fault alarm, DC power supply has no output. Check if DC output power is overload or short-circuited. The PSU could be faulty.

UL / DL LNA, UL / DL PA, UL / DL high / low edge PLL alarms handling

Check power and signal connections of respective modules. If the power and signal wire connections are OK, then the respective modules may be faulty. Replace the fault modules and return it to the factory for repair.

UL / DL output power low alarm

Eliminate alarm by correct setting of uplink/downlink power threshold. The threshold will be indicated when the cursor is positioned to the input field. If alarm can not be cleared, check the equipment.

Input power low alarm Eliminate alarm by correct setting of field threshold. The recommended field threshold is within the range from -80 to -40dBm. If alarm can not be cleared, check the DT antenna system.

Self-Oscillation alarm Check whether the Isolation between donor antenna and mobile antenna is large enough. Adjustment to RX/TX antennas can control self-excited oscillation. Verify the (I) is 15dB larger than Gmax.

UL / DL VSWR alarm Check DT antenna system if there is uplink VSWR alarm. Check MT antenna system if there is downlink VSWR alarm.

Over temperature alarm Eliminate alarm by correct setting of temperature threshold. If alarm can not be cleared, apply climatic protection to the equipment
