We recommend that the practices and procedures detailed in the Motorola manual R56 "STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR COMMUNICATION SITES" (68P81089E50) be applied to all new site build activities. For a copy on the manual please see your local Motorola representative. The manual can be downloaded from the Motorola Intranet site http://compass.mot.com/go/190860869...

Protect Your Installation Recommended Recommended Zone A Zone A Zone B Zone B • Zone A – A direct strike is possible, mounting the ODU in this zone is not recom- mended. • Zone B –Indirect EMD (Lightning) effects are still possible, however, mounting within Zone B significantly reduces the possibility of a direct strike For further explanation and connection details see User Guide section - Lightning Protection Antenna Cable...
Checklist, Site Survey and Tools Before performing an installation of a Motorola PTP 300 or a PTP 500 Series sys- tem, ensure that you have read this entire guide and taken note of any safety in- formation contained. Checklist •...
Bench Testing (Optional) - Connect and Power Up It is advised that the link be configured and tested on a bench before the final installation of the units on a pole or a mast. The following steps give details of how to connect an ODU to a PC in order to check the configuration details, change the IP settings or modify the license key.
Step 11: You may wish to upgrade the software. If so, select ‘Software Upgrade’ and follow the on-screen instruction. Latest software is available from our web site: (http://motorola.motowi4solutions.com/software/#ptp) Step 12: Check the License Key informa- tion and ensure you are using the correct Region Code.
Use the integral safety loop for hoisting the ODU up a mast or building. When the ODU is in position, use the safety loop as a fixing point to secure a permanent lanyard from the tower/ building to the ODU, as a precaution against mounting failure. Warning! The safety lanyard must not exceed 1 m (approx 3 ft) in length.
Mast Installation Instructions Earth bonding lead Attach free end (large tag M10) to Tower Metal work – NB On no ac- count must this be at- tached to the mount- ing bracket bolts!! Step 1: Your equipment will already have the mounting bracket fitted.
Cable and Gland Installation Notes Step 1: Make a cable as specified on Page 10 or 11. Plug in the RJ 45 into the ODU. Step 3: Once the gland is fully hand screwed into the ODU it may be tight- ened to a torque of to 7 ftlbs/10Nm, with a 22mm wrench.
Before plugging the RJ45 connector fitted to the lower LPU (or if not fitted the ODU) into the PIDU check the following resistances at the RJ45; Check the cable resistance between pins 1&2, 3&6, 4&5 and 7&8 at the RJ45. Check against column 2 in Table 1.
Pre-Power Testing - Recording Resistance Values Record the information listed in Table 2. This information will be useful if there is a need to contact Motorola Support or to identify future changes in the installation. Measure Measured Resistance Resistance Between Pins...
Post-Power Testing and Fault Finding The correct operation is as follows Connect the RJ45 to the PIDU Plus and apply power to the PIDU Plus, the green power LED should illuminate continuously. 30 seconds after powering, the orange Ethernet LED should be observed starting with 10 slow flashes.
LINKPlanner and that a new report has been printed. The Motorola PTP 300 and PTP 500 Series use audible tones to assist the installer with ODU alignment. The pitch (frequency) of the tone is relative to the received signal strength. The higher the received signal strength the higher the frequency of the tone emitted.

• PTP 300 and PTP 500 Series do not require the user to enter the link range. The Master unit typically takes less than 60 seconds to determine the length of the link being installed. The Master unit will remain in the Scanning state until the length of the link has been established.

The LINKPlanner may need re-running to account for new known obstacles any time during the operation of the link. Note that for short ranges and for links installed when Radar is Enabled, the PTP 300 and PTP 500 Series software will adjust automatically the maximum Transmit Power when the unit is disarmed.
Registration Warranty and Ordering Information The PTP 300 and the PTP 500 are each an extraordinarily robust radio communications link with unsurpassed availability and reliability. Along with your Motorola PTP Bridge you get a 12- month Standard Warranty that provides a 30-day repair-and-replacement program for hard- ware defect failures and minor software enhancements as they become available.
