Page 13: Introduction
The ION-M8P S transports signals on the RF layer in a very inexpensive manner. This means that multiple operators and multiple technologies are moved simultaneously from a cluster of base stations to a remote location over the same fiber. -
Page 14: Optional Equipment - Relay Alarm Connecting Board
The ION is easily set-up and supervised via a graphical user interface (GUI). Remote units can be commissioned through the use of built-in test equipment. An auto leveling function compensates for the optical link loss making installation easy and quick. The entire system may be monitored remotely via an Andrew OMC. This is a comprehensive management platform with SNMP protocol and X.733 standard implemented. -

Page 18: Connections
Optical main unit Redundant RU connector figure 3-3 ION-M8P S, connector flange, exemplary 3.2.3. Grounding Grounding must be carried out. Connect an earth-bonding cable to the grounding connection provided at the outside of the remote unit (see chapter 3.2.2 Connections). Do not use the grounding connection to connect external devices. -
Page 19: Power Connection
After loosening the hex nut, connect the earth-bonding cable between the two washers as illustrated in the figure above. Then, fasten all parts again with the hex nut. The PE cables must have a minimum cross section of 16mm 3.2.4. Power Connection Before connecting electrical power to the units, the system must be grounded as described in the previous chapter. -
Page 20: Connection Of The Antenna Cables
Note: Do not connect or disconnect the power cord at the mains connector while power is on. Turn off mains * power before connecting the power cord at the remote unit, then, engage mains again. * Mains power must be interrupted with an external mains breaker. For the mains breaker, observe the following recommendation: 120 Volt / 20 Amp max. -
Page 21: Optical-Fibre-Cable Connection - Rules
A protection for the feeding into units must be given. For ION-M8P S, the system attenuation of the optical fibres, including the connectors, must not exceed 10 System attenuation and attenuation of optical components must be determined. -
Page 22: Protective Plug
Remove fibre-optic protective caps. Do not bend the fibre-optic cable in a tight radius (< 4 cm) as this may cause cable damage and interrupt transmission. Using high-grade alcohol and lint-free cotton cleaning swabs, clean the end of the fibre-optic cable that will be inserted in the optical connectors on the donor interface box. - Page 23 For plug assembly, observe the following instruction: 1. Pass one or two contacts through the backshell and the clamp ring. 2. Place the contact(s) on the lower insulation body by pushing the groove of the contact into the cavity. If there is only one contact, cavity A must be used. * 3.
