Unpacking
Check first that the packing does not have any
signs of rough handling such as dents or
scratches, which might have occurred during
transportation
Should the equipment have suffered any
damage, immediately notify the carrier and
retain the packing material for inspection
Save the packing material for use in case of
return shipment
Compare the OSA 5548C SSU contents with

the purchase order / order acknowledgement.

Input Connections
Choose a connector among these 8
We recommend using 1 connector per range, either
E1 or FREQ
Connect the frequency inputs to the Freq. BNC
connector with a 50 or 75 ohms asymmetrical
coaxial cable
Connect the E1 input either directly to the BNC
connector for the asymmetrical 75 ohms option or
through a 120/75 ohms adapter (Balun) for the
symmetrical 120 ohms option.
Connect the GPS Antenna Cable if any. Ensure
that the Antenna is correctly protected before.

Slide 33

Roof Antenna Installation

Considerations
The antenna must be mounted in an upward position within 5 of the vertical.
The antenna should be installed at the highest possible point available at the
site. This is to ensure that any surrounding obstacles (trees, buildings or other
installations, etc.) are not exceeding a 20 elevation angle.
To avoid influence of reflected waves, the antenna must not be installed less
than 2m away from metallic objects with a dimension greater then 20 cm.
Antenna installation should be avoided in close proximity with other receivers or
transmitters, to reduce the susceptibility of Radio Interference.
Lightning protection devices, if installed, must be installed as close as possible
to the cable entry inside the building. Furthermore, grounding of the various
elements must be installed with low resistance and low inductance conductors.

Maintenance
The OSA 5548C SSU does not require
any routine maintenance!
In order to ensure correct functioning
of the LEDS and the cards operating in
stand-by mode, a regular preventive
maintenance is recommended. For
that purpose do the following:
LAMP TEST
Switch Cards (INC, THC, GPS)

the card is faulty (some
exceptions for THC)

ORANGE Solid:
The line is being in MONITORING mode

RED Solid:
The input signal is rejected or disqualified by

one of the signal validity criteria

RED Flashing:
The input is rejected due to a performance
alarm

OFF:
Input Line unused, disabled or INC in stand-by

GPS Troubleshooting

GPS LED
RED Solid:
No or not enough GPS signal available. PPS input reference not
available.
RED Flashing:
No connection to GPS Antenna. Either shorted or opened GPS
antenna cable. When both GPS and OCXO LEDs have this status, the
input is rejected due to a performance alarm.
Yellow:
The GPS input is OK but currently monitored
OFF:
The GPS input is disabled or the GPS Card is in Stand-by

OCXO LED:
RED Solid:
Internal GPSs OCXO failure or Initialisation phase
RED Flashing:
GPS pre-tracking sequence.
When both GPS and OCXO LEDs have this status, the input is
rejected due to a performance alarm.
OFF:
When the GPS LED is GREEN solid, the GPS card delivers signal to
the THC. Or the GPS card is in stand-by when the GPS LED.
