Installation and cabling 27.1. Location The TPR sub-rack should be placed as near as possible the BTS or the RF repeater. The sub-rack location should be easy to reach by the users in order to allow alarm monitoring. 9 WARNING! do not close the air circulation subrack grids (top and bottom) with panels or obstacles. 9 If the subrack mounting location does not have a good air circulation, leave at least one unit (1HE) free between subracks. 27.2. Power supply The connection to the mains has to be carried out following all the necessary precautions, including the following: • in accordance with diligence rules (ex. CEI rules, IEC rules, etc.); • in accordance with the rules for the safety against direct or indirect contacts; • in accordance with the rules for the safety against over current (short circuit, overloading); • in accordance with the rules for the safety against the over tension; • the connection is to be carried out by properly trained technicians. 27.2.1. Universal mains Universal main (85-264VAC, 50/60Hz) apply to TPR912 model only. Mains connector is placed on the back panel (see Fig. 26 mains connector) Fig. 26 mains connector The TPR912 model has an internal AC/DC converter. With 220VAC power supply the efficiency is 75%. Each TFA has a power consumption of 12W, therefore a fully equipped configuration (6 TFLs) requires (12W x 6) / 0.75 = 96W. This formula is helpful in verifying the overall power consumption.

An external grounding terminal, with screw, is available at the back panel (see Fig. 29 ground) Fig. 29 ground 28. Start up 9 WARNING: Verify voltage levels before connecting and powering on the subrack Please refer to system start-up section for further details. 29. Troubleshooting The way a fuse is changed depends on the subrack version (refer to the datasheet). One or two fuses are present on the back of the rack, which needs to be replaced when they fail Fig. 30 fuse TFL-BSI RF attenuator BRITECELL System Manual MN010-04 June 2003 Page 44 of 78 The company has a policy of continuous product development and improvement and we therefore reserve the right to vary any information quoted without prior notice. 30. Introduction This section describes the TFL-BSI (Base Station Interface). The TFL-BSI is part of the Britecell system and allows the operator to optimise the signal level the BTS or repeater and the Britecell system. It includes two independent variable attenuators (30 dB, one dB step) for uplink and downlink RF path. A single attenuator version is available, for downlink only or uplink only operations. 31. Part description Fig. 31 - TFLBSI 32. Warnings 9 Maximum RF composite input power must not exceed 30 dBm. 9 SMA connectors must be screwed with a proper dynamometric key. 33. Functional description 33.1. Down link operation If the RF signal coming from the BTS or repeater in downlink path has a power level, which is not adequate to the TFL’s characteristics, an attenuator is required. Downlink RF input (from BTS) Downlink attenuation settings Downlink RF output (to TFL) Uplink RF output (to BTS) Uplink attenuation settings Uplink RF input (from TFL) BRITECELL System Manual MN010-04 June 2003 Page 45 of 78 The company has a policy of continuous product development and improvement and we therefore reserve the right to vary any information quoted without prior notice. 33.2. Uplink operation The RF signal coming from the mobile through the TFA and TFL in the uplink direction may not be an optimal level. When this is the case, the uplink attenuator is used to prevent the BTS from being over driven. 34. Installation and cabling 34.1. TPR housing The TFL-BSI is a modular plug-in card designed to be put in a 6 HE sub-rack (TPR family). The TFL-BSI interfaces with the BTS transmitter and receiver through N-female connectors and with Britecell with SMA-female connectors. The connection with the BTS may be direct, if the BTS’s transmitter and receiver are separated, or through a circulator or a common path RF combiner (please refer also to THYB section). When the system is air interfaced through a repeater a common path RF combiner is required in order to separate the uplink and downlink path. The connection between TFL-BSI and Local Units may be direct or through a combiner stage (please refer to TLC section) depending on the system’s configuration. 35. Calculation of attenuation setting 35.1. Downlink Calculation of Downlink TFL-BSI setting is made in order to supply Britecell Local Unit with correct DL i…

Functional description 9.1. Block diagram Fig. 8 - block diagram 9.2. Down link operations In down link the TFL fulfils the following operations: Power level adjustment: if the RF signal coming from the BTS has a power level which is not adequate to TFL’s characteristics, an external adjustment is required. It consists in an attenuation when BTS is connected through a coupler or through repeater (please refer to TFL-BSI). E/O Conversion: RF signal modulates the intensity of an optical carrier through an electro- optic device (laser). One laser is present on each TFL card. Optical Splitting: modulated optical carrier is split into 4 ways so that it may be transmitted on a maximum of 4 optical links.

BRITECELL System Manual MN010-04 June 2003 Page 27 of 78 The company has a policy of continuous product development and improvement and we therefore reserve the right to vary any information quoted without prior notice. 14. Introduction This section describes the TFA (Remote Unit). The TFA is part of the Britecell system and provides O/E downlink conversion and E/O uplink conversion. The TFA is connected to passive antennas, which transmit and receive from and to the mobiles. Each TFA is connected to a TFL through two optical fibres. This forms a star configuration. One fibre is dedicated to the reception of the downlink signals that the TFA receives from TFL, and re-transmits to mobile stations. The other fibre supports the transmission of uplink signals, which each TFA gathers from the mobiles operating in its coverage area, to the TFL. TFA can feed antennas through two external RF ports, except UMTS TFA where a single RF TRx port is provided. 15.

Introduction This section describes the TPR family (19” Sub rack). The TPR is part of the Britecell system and host all plug-in modules such as TFL-card, TLC splitter/combiner, TFL-BSI Base Station Interface and control modules. A TPR sub-rack, when fully equipped, can support up to 6 TFL Local Units, one 2- way splitter-combiner, two 3-way splitter-combiners, one Base Station Interface, and one control module. Therefore this complete configuration supports up to 24 TFA Remote Units and up to 48 antennas. 23. Part description Fig. 22 TPR912 24. Warnings Local interfaces may not be placed next to each other; one 7te module is always required between them. TFL local interface cards can only be fitted in slots 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 of the sub-rack, slot 1 being the left most one. 9 WARNING: any slot capable of accepting an TFL that is unused must be fitted with a dummy plug to avoid alarms being generated (see Fig. 23) 9 WARNING: do not remove or insert any module into TPR subrack, without switching the power supply off.

Tune-up Procedure Step 1: Connect the BriteCell donor unit to the BriteCell remote unit using single mode fiber Step 2: Connect power to both units. Step 3: Input a TX test signal into the donor unit port (N-connector) Step 4: Measure the output power at one of the remote unit ports. This signal will be +7dB gain from the donor. Increase the gain until the spurs are above -13dBm Step 5: Input an RX test signal into the remote unit port. Step 6: Measure the output power at the donor unit port (N-connector). This signal will be +17dB gain from the remote unit. It is a good rule when working with the fibre optic components, to always have available the appropriate screw covers for closure of the optic connectors that are not connected. The intrinsic delicateness of an optic connection must be highlighted. A minimum layer of dust causes a notable increase of the insertion loss, therefore. ÿ Always close the optic connectors that are not connected, with the appropriate screw covers. ÿ Always use compressed gas to remove any deposits in the receptacles before closing them. ÿ Use the appropriate cloths to clean the connectors. ÿ Do not allow the male connector to come into contact with skin or oily surfaces. ÿ Should it be necessary to clean the optic connector, only use pure alcohol.
