1 INSTALLATION AND PROCEDURES FOR ENSUR-

ING THE ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION TO BE READ BEFORE THE INSTALLA-

TION
The equipment is a split mount (indoor-outdoor) radio link system operating in the frequency ranges 4, 6,
7, 8, 13, 15, 18, 23, 25, 28 and 38 GHz, for low, medium and high transport capacity (from 4 up to 622
Mbit/s), designed to establish LAN-LAN connections and PDH/SDH access. For the details related to the
actual used frequency band refer to the label on the equipment.
The system is provided with an integral antenna; however, in case its antenna is not used, it should be
connected to an antenna conforming to the requirements of ETSI EN 302 217-4-2 for the relevant frequen-
cy band.
The equipment is composed by the following separate units:
radio unit (outdoor) with or without integral antenna
Baseband (indoor)
This equipment makes use of non-harmonized frequency bands.
Class 2 radio equipment subject to Authorisation of use. The equipment can operate only at the fre-
quencies authorised by the relevant National Authority.
The deployment and use of this equipment shall be made in agreement with the national regulation
for the Protection from Exposure to Electromagnetic Field.
The symbol indicates that, within the European Union, the product is subject to separate collec-
tion at the product end-of-life. Do not dispose of these products as unsorted municipal waste. For more
information, please contact the relevant supplier for verifying the procedure of correct disposal.
MN.00289.E - 007 5
1.2 GENERAL
The equipment consists of IDU and ODU(s) units and is mechanically made up of a wired 19" subrack (IDU)
and a weather proof metallic container (ODU). The two units are shipped together in an appropriate card-
board box.
After unpacking, mechanical installation takes place followed by electrical connections as described in the
following paragraphs.
1.3 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
1.3.1 IDU
The IDU (all the versions) is made up of a metallic box with two little lateral brackets (90 bent), provided
with two holes for M6 screws (2 screws for each side), to fasten the unit to a 19" rack or to a 19" mechanical
structure.
IDU installation
In order to avoid damage to the cables connected on the front panel of the IDU, the two lateral brackets
(90 bent) can be positioned on the IDU lateral panel in three different position, by means of 3 phillips
screws.
ALPlus2 - To avoid over-temperature problems the free space below and above an IDU must be 22 mm (1/
2RU) minimum.
ALCPlus2 - IDUs can be stacked.
Fig.1 - IDU installation
6 MN.00289.E - 007
1.4 ELECTRICAL WIRING
The electrical wiring must be done using appropriate cables thus assuring the equipment responds to the
electromagnetic compatibility standards.
The cable terminates to flying connectors which have to be connected to the corresponding connectors on
the equipment front.
Position and pin-out of the equipment connectors are available in this section. Tab.1 shows the character-
istics of the cables to be used and the flying connector types.

1.4.1 IDU-ODU interconnection cable
Either one or two cable feeders must be installed, terminated with N male connectors, according with the
type of configuration, 1+0 or 1+1, to connect the indoor unit to the outdoor unit. The RG8 feeder cable
and N type connectors shall be the SIAE supplied and approved earth clamps and 10 sqmm cable.
Self-amalgamating/Butyl tape with a PVC tape over-wrap to be used to water -proof the feeder N type to
ODU connection and the coaxial cable earth clamp assemblies.
The laying of this cable must be undertaken in the proper cable trays and ducts already provided in the
station, and correct clamps specific to the given mast type must be used to ensure the reliable fixing to
the structure. For the RG8 cable that will br deployed bend radii that must be adhered, are 40mm for single
bend or 120mm for multiple bends.
A flexible coax tail terminated with a SMA male connector on the equipment side and N type female con-
nector on feeder side is provided, in order to connect the feeder to the IDU, this must be loomed and fixed
within the cabinet.
Prior to connection to radio equipment, and with both indoor and outdoor feeder cables terminated on N
type male connectors, check the cable for continuity of the screen and centre conductor and ensure no
short circuit between screen and centre conductor and ensure no short circuit between screen and centre
conductor. Cable ties shall all be cut-off flush after fixing in-situ.

3 INSTALLATION ONTO THE POLE OF ODU ASN
WITH STANDARD LOCK
3.1 ODU COUPLING KIT
Two versions of ODU can be connected to ALplus2/ALCplus2 IDU: ODU AS and ODU ASN. Both versions
need to be completed with a coupling kit to be connected to the mechanical structure for the installation.
3.1.1 ODU AS
ODU AS is factory assembled with a "Fast Lock" coupling kit (see Fig.25); for the installation it needs Oring
and grounding bolt only.
3.1.2 ODU ASN
ODU ASN can mount two different coupling kits in order to obtain a Fast Lock ASN or a Standard ASN. After
having mounted the proper coupling kit the ODU needs O-ring and grounding bolt.
3.1.2.1 Fast lock coupling kit
The Fast Lock coupling kit is the same used in ODU AS and so after kit, O-ring and grounding bolt assembly,
the ASN Fast Lock can be installed in the same way of ODU AS.
Coupling kit assembly procedure
See Fig.26 - Put the Fast Lock coupling kit on the ODU. Align the four holes of the coupling kit with the four
nut screws on the ODU. Insert and tighten the four screws.
3.1.2.2 Standard coupling kit
The standard coupling kit is mounted on ASN ODU by means of four screws.
See Fig.27 - Put the standard coupling kit on the ODU.
Align the four holes of the coupling kit with the four nut screws on the ODU. Insert and tighten the four
screws.

sions of which depend on the waveguide type. Tighten progressively and alternatively the four screws with
the following torque:
Warning: It is advisable to shape the waveguide flexible trunk, connecting ODU flange with antenna flange
as shown in Fig.42. This avoids possible condensate to be channelled towards the ODU flange.
4.2.4 Installation of the ODU
1. Remove the plastic cover from the ODU flange side. Apply seal and lubricant grease Dow Corning 4
to the O-ring of Fig.41.
Warning: Do not remove the foil from the flange.
2. Bring the ODU with the two hands and position the ODU handle at the bottom side.
3. Position the ODU body close to the support with ODU fast locking mechanism and align ODU side
flange (see Fig.41) to antenna side flange (see Fig.36 - 1+0 version) or hybrid side flange (see
Fig.39 - 1+1 version).
Note: For 1+0 version the ODU can assume positions of Fig.40 depending on the polarisation.
4. With respect to the flange alignment, turn the ODU body approx. 30 anti-clockwise and then insert
the ODU body into the support and search for alignment between reference tooth on the support
(see Fig.36 - 1+0 version or Fig.39 - 1+1 version) and ODU body reference tooth (see detail Fig.41)
5. When alignment is achieved, turn the ODU body clockwise until "clack" is heard and the ODU rota-
tion stops.
6. Secure ODU body on the support by tightening bolts (1) (see Fig.36- 1+0 version or Fig.39 - 1+1
version). Tightening torque must be 6 Nm. Final assembly of 1+1 version is shown in Fig.42. A par-
asol mounting is optionally possible.

MN.00289.E - 007 101

11.2 GENERAL
The ALFOplus radio system is made up of an outdoor unit, protected by a metallic shield.
Compliance to electromagnetic compatibility is guaranteed through the following precautionary measures:
during the design phase

- use of protection circuits against electrical dischargers
- use of filters on the power supply input circuits against noise propagating on the power supply
wires
during the installation phase
- use of shielded cables
- use of ground connections.
The installation phases of the whole system are described in the following paraghaphs and it must be done
only by service person suitably trained.
Warning Remember that the whole radio link can work only if ODUs, chosen for local and remote side, have
equal subband and different Tx module (H and L).
11.3 ELECTRICAL WIRING
The electrical wiring must be done using appropriate cables thus assuring the equipment responds to the
electromagnetic compatibility standards.
The cable terminates to flying connectors which have to be connected to the corresponding connectors on
the equipment front.
Position and pin-out of the equipment connectors are available in this section.
11.4 CONNECTIONS TO THE SUPPLY MAINS
During the final installation, protect the ODU by a magneto-thermal switch (not supplied with the equip-
ment), whose characteristics must comply with the laws in force in ones country.
The disconnection from the supply mains is made disconnecting the auxiliary connector M12 5 pin from the
ODU or disconnecting the LAN PoE cable.
The typical magneto thermal switch has characteristics at least 48Vdc @6A with overcurrent relay class
C or K tripping curve.
Seal the M12 connector when it isnt used, in order to avoid the removal of the cover without tools.
