1. Introduction 1.1. Scope and Purpose of Document This handbook is for use solely with the equipment identified by the Axell Wireless Limited (AWL) Part Number shown on the front cover. It is not to be used with any other equipment unless specifically authorised by AWL. This is a controlled release document and, as such, becomes a part of the Axell Wireless Total Quality Management System. Alterations and modification may therefore only be performed by Axell Wireless.
2. Safety Considerations 2.1. Earthing of Equipment Equipment supplied from the mains must be connected to grounded outlets and earthed in conformity with appropriate local, national and international electricity supply and safety regulations. 2.2.
2.5. Chemical Hazard Beryllium Oxide, also known as Beryllium Monoxide, or Thermalox™, is sometimes used in devices within equipment produced by Axell Wireless Ltd. Beryllium oxide dust can be toxic if inhaled, leading to chronic respiratory problems. It is harmless if ingested or by contact. Products that contain beryllium are load terminations (dummy loads) and some power amplifiers. These products can be identified by a yellow and black “skull and crossbones” danger symbol (shown above).
3. MWAA Primary Headend B010 IF BDA 60-174202 There are two 60-174202 IF BDAs in Primary F/O Head End Cab. 1 - 60-174201, both BDAs are housed in rack 2.

4. Installation – General Notes 4.1 General Remarks When this equipment is initially commissioned, please use the equipment set-up record sheet in Appendix B. This will help both the installation personnel and Axell Wireless should these figures be needed for future reference or diagnosis. Wall Mount equipment The procedure for installing and commissioning an Axell Wall Mount equipment is generally as follows: 1) Secure the Repeater in the chosen wall position.
4.3.1. Termination of Unused Ports In the event that any RF ports are unused (available for future expansion) these ports must be kept terminated with the load terminations supplied by Axell for that purpose Ensure that connections are kept clean and are fully tightened. 4.4 Optical Connections The optical input and output ports will be shown in the system drawings. The ports are supplied with a green plastic cover, which must be removed prior to the connection of the fibre cable.
4) Ensure that the mobile facing antenna has at least 70dB isolation from the nearest mobile. (This is usually easily achieved when using a leaky feeder.) 5) The equipment gain is set by setting the variable switched attenuators in each path (uplink and downlink) refer to the photographs and layout drawings for the exact attenuator locations). Note that the uplink (mobile to base) and downlink (base to mobile) path gains are set independently.
5. Maintenance 5.1. Fault Finding 5.1.1. Quick Fault Checklist All Axell equipment is individually tested to specification prior to despatch. Failure of this type of equipment is not common. Experience has shown that a large number of fault conditions relating to tunnel installations result from simple causes often occurring as result of transportation, unpacking and installation.
5.1.3 Downlink Confirm that there is a signal at the expected frequency and strength from the base station. If this is not present then the fault may lay outside the system. To confirm this, inject a downlink frequency signal from a known source at the master site BTS input and check for output at the remote site feeder output. If a signal is not received at the output it will be necessary to follow the downlink path through the system to find a point at which the signal is lost.
5.2 Tools & Test Equipment The minimum tools and test equipment needed to successfully service this Axell Wireless product are as follows:Spectrum analyser Signal Generator Attenuator Test Antenna Optical Power Meter Digital multi-meter Test cable x 2 Test cable x 2 Hand tools 5.3 100kHz to 2GHz (Dynamic range = 90dB). 30MHz to 2GHz (-120dBm to 0dBm o/p level). 20dB, 10W, DC-2GHz, (N male – N female). Yagi or dipole for operating frequency. 1300 – 1560nM (-40 - +10dB) Universal Volt-Ohm-Amp meter.
5.3.4 Power Amplifier Replacement (general procedure) 1) Remove power to the unit. (Switch off at mains/battery, or remove DC in connector) 2) Remove alarm wires from alarm screw terminal block or disconnect multi-way alarm connector. 3) Carefully disconnect the RF input and output coaxial connectors (usually SMA) If alarm board removal is not required, go to step 5.
5.3.6 Module Transportation: To maintain the operation, performance and reliability of any module it must be stored and transported correctly. Any module not installed in a whole system must be kept in an anti-static bag or container. These bags or containers are normally identified by being pink or black, and are often marked with an ESD label. Any module sent back to Axell Wireless for investigation/repair must be so protected.
