GENERAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
In order to ensure the secure and reliable installation, operation and maintenance of the equipment, the following is an installation check list that deserves attention. Make sure the equipment is mounted securely. Ensure that the Station and Equipment Protective and Silent earths are in good condition. Ensure that the power supply to the equipment has the correct voltage and polarisation, is stable and the power cables are correctly fused. Check for the correct connection and tights of all cables, connectors and mounting fixtures. Ensure each cable is correctly labeled. For detailed installation instructions, refer to the separate installation guides as noted in the previous section. After installation, fill in the Commissioning Documents.
PACKAGE CONTENTS AND ACCESSORIES
Please check the shipment contents and accessories against the packing list for damage and completeness. In the instance where items are missing or damaged, please contact AT Electronic & Communication International Limited within 24 hours of receiving the shipment.
FIBRE OPTIC CABLE CHECKLIST
Fibre optic cables are easily damaged if improperly handled or installed. It is imperative that the correct handling and installation procedures be followed to avoid damaging and/or limiting their effectiveness. The information contained in this manual serves as a guide to proper handling, installing, testing, and the troubleshooting of fibre optic cables. Generally, the following should be noted: Do not exceed the maximum cable length, bending radius, and tensile load. Use proper pulling techniques for cable laying. Do not squeeze or bend the cable. Cable installed without loops in raceways Cable protected from sharp edges Fibre cable installed in separate raceways from copper Cable connector cleanliness maintained Cable connector tight to transceivers

3.1
LAYING FIBRE OPTIC CABLE
When pulling the fibre optic cable, avoid cable twisting by using proper pulling techniques for cable laying. Putting with twists in the cable may greatly increase the risk of breaking the fibres. The pulling techniques for fibre optic cable installation for both wire cables and fibre optic cables are similar. The rules below should be strictly followed: Never pull or put strain on the connector. The connector/cable interface is not designed for pulling. Use a pulling grip designed for pre-connected fibre optic cables. Grips with a fixed pull ring should use a swivel to attach the pull rope. Monitor tension: do not exceed the maximum tensile load. On runs from 40m to 100m, use proper lubricants and make sure they are compatible with the cable jacket. On runs over 100m, use proper lubricants and pull from the middle to both ends. If possible, use an automated puller with tension controller.
Always use a straight pull. Use cable guides to maintain the recommended bend radius. Do not exceed the cable bend radius as this may damage the fibres. This damage may not be seen immediately but eventually would reduce the service life of the cable.
Figure 1: Proper pulling technique through conduit
As seen in the above figure, only a straight pull of cable through the conduit is acceptable. When it is necessary to install a fibre optic cable with lengths of 40m or longer, lay the cable as a figure 8" pattern on the ground to prevent twisting. The figure 8 puts a half of twist in one side of the 8 and removes it on the other side. See the figure below:
Page 8
Figure 2: Procedure for pulling long fibre optic cable To pull the cable into a figure 8 pattern, follow up with the steps below: Lay the cable on the ground in circles Pull the two ends of the figure 8 and turn 360 degrees (upside down) in opposite direction Be careful of over-twisting of the cable.
3.2
ROUTING FIBRE OPTIC CABLE
Use proper cable pulling techniques when routing cables. Before routing fibre optic cables, follow the instructions stated in the last section to ensure the proper pulling of the cables. For fibre optic cable routing, take care when routing through cabinets and right angle raceways. Make sure to install cables in raceways without loops.
Figure 3: Route cables in raceways without loops Microwave Equipment Installation Practice Page 9
Avoid placing fibre optic cables in raceways and conduits together with copper cables to avoid excessive loading or twisting.
Figure 4: Route cables in raceways together with copper cables
Protect cables from excessive or frequent bending. Fibre optic cables do not have a flexible rating, so routing on a cabinet door should be only used as a last choice. Flexible conduit should be used in these cases.
Figure 5: Route cables on a cabinet door
Page 10
Attach cables with plastic clamps with large surface areas. Avoid pinching or squeezing the cable. Cable clamps should be installed manually and with great care.
Figure 6: Proper use of plastic clamps Fibre optic cables require special care during installation to ensure reliable operation. Installation guidelines regarding minimum bend radius, tensile loads, twisting, squeezing, or pinching of cable must be followed. Cable connectors should be protected from contamination and scratching all the time. Violation of any of these parameters may cause increased attenuation or permanent damage to the cable. Strictly follow the appropriate cable lengths stated in the installation instructions of the module, do not exceed maximum cable lengths to ensure proper operation. Operator should be careful in maintaining total attenuation budget when using bulkhead connectors to join cables less than maximum. Do not exceed minimum bend radius of the fibre optic cable. Exceeding the bend radius of the cable may cause potential damage to the fibres of the cables. This damage may not be seen immediately but eventually would reduce the service life of the cable and lead to an expensive restringing of cables.
Figure 7: Correct bend radius Microwave Equipment Installation Practice Page 11
3.3
FIBRE OPTIC CABLE MAINTENANCE
Proper cleaning of the fibre optic cable ends and transceivers is essential to minimise system attenuation. Failure to do this may cause cross-contamination of the fibre optic cables and the mating transceivers. There are a variety of ways to clean fibre optic components.
Cleaning fibre optic cable ends: Wipe off the optic spots on the end of cable connector with a wet swab through a circular or straight wiping motion, Do not wipe back-and-forth. Make sure the cleanness of the swab to get rid of re-contaminating the cable. Remove any residues with a dry swab and use canned air to remove any lint from the cable end.
Cleaning fibre optic cable transceivers: Select a clean lint-free swab that fits easily with the transceiver barrel. The swab should be placed gently into the barrel of the connector and rotated freely Do not rotate back-and-forth or round-and-round to avoid leaving any debris into the transceiver. Ensure that the swab is clean to remove the possibility of re-contaminating the cable. Remove any residues with a dry swab and use dry compressed air to remove any lint from the cable end.

The mast or pole must be free from any substance that may affect the good electrical connection of the antenna; for example, paint, oil, greese or corrosion. The antenna must be located at the elevation above ground location which was calculated in the Path Analysis and Link Performance. The antenna must be roughly aligned to the bearing and azimuth as calculated in the Path Planning and Analysis.
4.1.3
Grounding the Antenna
To ensure the system is protected from lightning damage, it is vital that the antenna is effectively grounded. The tower or mast and lightning protection must be connected to the same common ground point using a low-resistance bonding conductor.
Cone of Protection Afforded By Lightning Arrestor
Antennas Mounted Below Top Of Structure Where Possible Separate Lightning Strap Bonded To Tower and Ground Antenna Cables Run Bonding of Waveguide/Coax to Cable Tray @ Key Points Away From Lightning Conductor
Incoming Cables Earthed on Entry Equipment Bonded To Earth Mat At Common Point Steel Tower Members Earthed At Base Common Point of Bonding for All Earths (but must be very effective)

Figure 10: Grounding of Tower and Equipment.
Page 15
A good electrical connection from the antenna and ODU to the tower or mast using a large diameter ground wire and non-corrosive hardware. The grounding system must comply with electrical codes and safety standards that apply to the installation location. Verify the grounding operation is conducted by a qualified electrician to get rid of potential risks and damages. The ground must be periodically checked for low Earth Resistance and corrosion.
4.1.4
Antenna and Lightning Protection
Lightning protection is designed to protect people, property and equipment from injury or damage from both a local and adjacent lightning discharge. Sound lightning protection design is an indispensable element of a grounding system used to protect the equipment from transient and/or electrostatic discharge. The components required to protect the microwave radio installation are as follows:
2 x Surge Arrestor Part No ATL-AN10MF70 (One Surge Arrestor is installed at each end of the IF Cable)
Grounding kit, CL-8D - AT-CN-8-Ground (The Ground Kit is installed at the point of entry into the equipment room or shelter).
Figure 11: Lightning Protection Components For optimal protection, one Surge Arrestor is located at the N-Type connector of the ODU and the other is located at the N-Type connector of the IDU. The Ground Kit is installed on the IF Cable at the point of entry into the equipment room or shelter or building. As the Surge Arrestor is designed to be sacrificial, the location should allow for easy installation and removal.
4.1.5
Routing the IF Cable to the ODU/Antenna
The antenna cable must be connected to the ODU/antenna in a manner which provides maximum protection to the IF cable. Refer to Figure 10. Refer to the ATL-Hiperion Antenna Installation Guide for detailed antenna installation.
Page 16
The following must be considered for the IF Cable routing plan: Does the cable route require drilling through a wall or ceiling? Is a building plan availablr showing the desired location indicating any other existing cabling routes such as electricity, telephone or networking? Does the building material require special tools for drilling? Is there adequate space and drainage for installing all necessary antenna cable drip loops? Is earthing available to connect the protective earths?
The following must be observed when installing the IF Cable: Great care must be taken when installing the IF Cable in tight or difficult locations, as bending or applying excessive force to the connectors may damage the cable. Always allow the IF Cable to bend naturally around corners. The recommended minimum bend radius must be observed. The IF Cable must be secured along its complete length. No part of the IF Cable should be allowed to hang free. This is particularly important for cable lengths that are installed outdoors. AT- Communications recommends the use of Stainless Steel Cable Ties (Cable tie, S/S, 360 x 7.9 x 0.29 mm Part No. ATL- Metal Strip - 304SS Cable Tie) for all outdoor cable runs at a rate of one cable tie per metre of cable length.
Before sealing the outdoor connectors and permanently securing cables, verify that the installation is correct and the link is functioning correctly. CAUTION: IF cable and cable connectors are not designed to withstand excessive force: Do not use connectors as cable grips to pull the IF Cable through raceways or conduits. Do not use cable connectors to support the weight of the IF Cable during or after installation. Do not use tools to tighten connectors (finger-tighten only or to specific torque). Make sure an adequate grounding system exists and the IF Cable is properly connected to ground. Check this with a multi-meter Always seal connections with self vulcanising stretch tape which is then covered with a UV resistant vinyl tape.
4.1.6
Antenna Alignment
For optimal performance, the antennas must be properly aligned in both the vertical and horizontal planes. The required antenna alignment angles of direction and azimuth are derived from path planning. After physically mounting each antenna, the following items must be correct before fine alignment is carrier out to optimise the installation for maximum link performance:
Page 17
Polarisation Every antenna of a link must have the same polarisation. The default is Vertical Polarisation.
Elevation The antenna must be installed at the elevation above ground, which was recommended by the Path Analysis and Link Performance calculations and subsequently confirmed by Site and Path Surveys.
Bearing Use a compass to set the direction of the antenna. This must be the bearing from True North that was recommended by the Path Analysis and Link Performance calculations and subsequently confirmed by Site and Path Surveys.
Azimuth Use an Inclinometer to set the azimuth of the antenna. This must be the angle that was recommended by the Path Analysis and Link Performance.
To complete the antenna alignment, follow the procedure in Section 10 ANTENNA ALIGNMENT ALL MODELS of the ATL-Hiperion Antenna Installation Guide
POWER SUPPLY AND CABLE CHECKLIST
Ensure that the power supply to the equipment is the correct voltage and polarity and that the power is stable and the voltages are within the range of the IDU Power Supply. Ensure that the Power Supply cables are correctly fused. For the incoming circuit, check against the items below: Operation of the power switch or circuit breaker Fuse class and rating (if applicable) and tightness of fuse fittings Tightness of cable connections and cable gland Size of incoming cable Tightness of busbar connection Earthing of panel & cable armour and resistance of earth conductors Availability and length of cables Indications of overload of conductors, connectors and accessories Correctness of labels Reliability of any protective devices.
Page 18
MAINTENANCE
After equipment commissioning, no further maintenance by hand is required. After NMS commissioning, the monitoring centre can control the operational status of all of the equipment in the network. The following regular inspections are recommended to ensure long life system performance. Antenna systems should be inspected once a year by qualified personnel to verify proper installation, maintenance, and the condition of equipment. This should include a comparassion of the RSL with the RSL as noted in the Commissioning Document. Note that for this comparassion, weather conditions should be similar to those at the time of installation. The Station and System Earthings should be inspected every 12 months for integrity and low ground resistance. Periodically check for proper connection and tightening of all cables and mounting fixtures. Make sure that the ATL-MV ODU has not been damaged, disassembled or otherwise tampered with, and remains properly grounded as described in the previous sections. Cleaning the surface of the equipment regularly to remove dust and other deposits like salt for example, to ensure the normal operation and prolonging the useful life of the equipment. The Surge Arrestors are designed to be sacrificial. Inspect the Surge Arrestor devices for integrity. Replace any that do not meet electrical specifications or appear suspect on physical examination. The installation location for ATL-MV ODU should remain well ventilated.
ATECIL disclaims any liability or responsibility for the results of improper or unsafe installation practices.
The ATL-ECI IDU and ODU have no user serviceable parts internally. In the event of a hardware fault, the faulty unit must be replaced with a known functional unit and returned to ATECIL for repair.
