3.8.1 Turning on an E60X system
1. Finish the installation as described in Chapter 3.6 and 3.7
2. Ensure fiber cables are still disconnected!
3. Connect DC power to the radio.
4. Verify that the Power LED is lit. If the Power LED is not lit, use voltmeter to verify
correct voltage and polarity at radio. To reverse the power polarity, unplug the
power jack and swap the crimp connectors for the two conductors.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 on other side of the link.
6. Verify Link Up LED’s are lit on both radios.
7. Slightly rotate each antenna up/down and left/right to find the maximum RSL voltage
reading. To ensure that the antennas are not aligned on a side-lobe, they must be
rotated at least ten degrees on each side of the visually-perceived alignment center to
ensure that the true maximum RSL voltage is found; note that the width of the center
beam is only 0.6 degrees and the first side-lobe beam is only 1.5 degrees off from
center. Set the antenna in the position that results in the highest RSL voltage reading.
See Section 3.9 to determine the proper use of the supplied test cable in order to
read the RSL voltage.
Note: Verify that the RSL voltage falls within the expected range based on the
graph in Appendix A.
8. Ensure all bolts are tightened securely and the RSL voltage remains unchanged
during tightening. Keep in mind that it is very important that the azimuth bolts are
tightened before any adjustment on the elevation is done. The very narrow beamwidth
of this antenna (0.6º) makes it necessary to completely tighten the bolts of the
azimuth adjustment while adjusting the elevation and vice versa.
9. Connect the fiber cable to one of the radios at a time. The fibers should already be
connected to active network equipment.
10. Verify the Fiber LED’s on each radio are illuminated solid.
Note: The fiber integrity indication on the network equipment could show up or
down independent of the link status. Once the radio link is up and network
equipment connected on both sides of the link, the network equipment will
indicate fiber integrity.
