Set the RIU aside and then drill appropriately sized holes in the mounting surface for the fasteners. 8. If using only the mounting brackets to secure the RIU to the mounting surface, skip step 9 and proceed to step 10.
ADCP-75-114 • Issue 2C • January 2002 2.4 Chassis Ground Connection A stud is provided on the rear side of the chassis for connecting a grounding wire to the chassis. Use the following procedure to connect the grounding wire to the chassis and to route the grounding wire to an approved earth ground source: 1. Obtain a length of #18 AWG (1.00 mm) insulated stranded copper wire for use as a chassis grounding wire. 2. Terminate one end of the wire with a ring terminal. 3.
ADCP-75-114 • Issue 2C • January 2002 2.5.1 Forward and Reverse Path Coaxial Cable Connections Use the following procedure to install the forward and reverse path coaxial cables that link the RIU to the DHU: 1. Locate the forward and reverse path coaxial cables that were routed to the RIU from the DHU.
ADCP-75-114 • Issue 2C • January 2002 1. Obtain the required length of high performance, flexible, low loss 50-ohm coaxial communications cable for the antenna coaxial connection. 2. Route the coaxial cable between the RIU and the donor antenna (per system design) and cut to the required length. Allow sufficient slack for dressing and organizing cables at the RIU and antenna. 3. Terminate each cable end with a type N male connector following the connector supplier’s recommendations. 4.
ADCP-75-114 • Issue 2C • January 2002 1. Obtain the required length of category 5 cable. 2. Route the cable between the RIU and the external alarm system (if not already routed) and then cut to required length. Allow sufficient slack for dressing and organizing the cable at the RIU. 3. Strip back the outer cable sheath and insulation to expose the wires at both ends of the cable and strip back 0.2 inches (5 mm) of insulation each wire. 4.
ADCP-75-114 • Issue 2C • January 2002 2.7 AC Power Connection The AC power interface between the RIU and the AC power source is supported by a 3-wire AC power cord connector located on the RIU front panel.

ADCP-75-114 • Issue 2C • January 2002 3 OPERATION This section provides guidelines for turning-up the RIU, verifying that the RIU is operating properly, setting the forward and reverse path signal levels, and correcting any installation problems. 3.1 Tools and Materials The following tools and materials are required in order to complete the procedures in this section: • RF power meter • Pencil or pen • Writing pad 3.
ADCP-75-114 • Issue 2C • January 2002 7. Check the forward path RF signal level at the DHU RF IN port and verify that the DHU composite input signal level is –20 dBm (provides maximum DRU output). Re-adjust FWD LEVEL ADJ rotary switches to add or remove gain if required. 8. Check the reverse path RF signal level at the antenna and verify that the signal level is correct per the system design. Re-adjust REV LEVEL ADJ rotary switches to add or remove gain if required. 9.
ADCP-75-114 • Issue 2C • January 2002 Note: An input signal level of –20 dBm at the DHU produces an output signal level of +13 dBm (800 MHz) or +16 dBm (1900 MHz) at the DRU. If maximum output is not required at the DRU, the DHU input signal level may be reduced in order to produce a lower DRU output signal level. Decreasing the DHU input signal level by 1 dB produces a corresponding 1 dB drop in the DRU output signal level. 6.
