1. DESCRIPTION 1.1. Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide necessary information for use by field personnel in the installation, operation, and troubleshooting of the 900MHz Cell Tower Gateway Basestation (TGB). 2 To be used only for the purpose for which it is submitted. All rights reserved to AMDS LLC. Reproduction without written consent is prohibited.
1.2. FCC Class B Statement “NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
1.4. Specifications 1.4.1. Input Power 1.4.1.1. Voltage 20-28VDC (nominally 24V) 1.4.1.2. Input Current 8A max Approximately 3A continuous 1.4.1.3. Alarms and Controls Low-voltage alarm is asserted when output voltage drops below 22VDC. Low-voltage disconnect is asserted when output voltage drops below 20VDC, re-connects when output voltage exceeds 22VDC. 1.4.2. Environmental 1.4.2.1. Operating temperature -40˚C to +85˚C 1.4.2.2. Storage temperature -40˚C to +85˚C 1.4.2.3.
General The TGB Transceiver is a high performance burst data radio system. The RF receiver is configured to receive 3 distinct modulation schemes on 3 adjacent frequencies in the 896 to 940 MHz frequency range. The TGB RF Transmitter operates on a single configurable channel (12.5kHz, 13.6 KHz, or 25kHz authorized bandwidth depending on the channel and FCC Rule section governing it’s operation) in the 935 to 960 MHz frequency range.
1.5. Block Diagram 1.5.1. Power System !!! Danger !!! Hazardous AC voltages capable of producing severe electrical shock are present at various locations in the TGB. Exercise caution when working inside the enclosure, to assure that contact is not made with and electrical termination. !!! Warning !!! The batteries are a source of energy and can be hazardous if shorted. Exercise caution. 1.5.1.1.
1.5.2. Wiring Diagram A copy of the wiring diagram is included in the assembly drawing located at the end of this document. 1.5.3. Alarms 1.5.3.1. Intrusion The enclosures are equipped with pin switches on both the front and rear doors that activate and intrusion alarm when a door is opened. The TGB notifies the TGB controller of the alarm. A feature of the outdoor enclosures intrusion switch is the ability to “pull out” the switch to cancel the alarm.
1.5.4.3. RF Cabling The RF cabling and connectors inside the TGB are selected due to their low-loss characteristics. No cables or connectors should be changed/replaced. 1.5.5. Electronics Assembly The Electronics Assembly is the heart of the TGB radio. It contains all of the RF and signal processing electronics housed in a single card cage and provides for an interconnecting Backplane. 1.5.5.1.
Port Inputs 1-7 Ethernet 2. Installation DCE Inputs Contact Closure Alarm Inputs. Bi-directional 10/100Base T Ethernet Port 2.1. Ventilation The outdoor enclosure is completely sealed from the outside environment (NEMA 4). A heat exchanger is used to cool internal electronics. The indoor enclosure is designed to circulate ambient air for cooling. Fans inside the enclosure are designed to circulate air across the electronics and power supply. 2.2. Electrical Connections 2.2.1.
2.2.4. Data Link The TGB supports several different communications backbones—a single/dual modem (56K) connection or a 10/100BaseT Ethernet connection. The modems and Ethernet connections are made through the modular connectors on the breakout panel. 2.3. Initial Startup Prior to applying power, ensure that all fuses are in place, the antenna is connected and the data line (POTS or Ethernet) is connected.
3.3.
The system provides for local visual (BATTERY FAILURE) and remote indication the system output voltage has fallen below a preset level. This level is set at the factory at 24V. The alarm clears automatically when the system output voltage increases above this level. The Low Voltage Alarm is the final indication that the TGB system is about to shut down. Once asserted the TGB will shutdown in approximately 8 hours unless commercial AC power is restored.. 4. Maintenance 4.1.
are replaced, switch the circuit breaker/disconnect to the ON position to restart. 4.4. Battery Replacement !!! Warning !!! The batteries are a source of energy and can be hazardous if shorted. Exercise caution. The batteries are rated for a 5-yr life at 25˚C and 27.5VDC float voltage. Extended periods of operation above 25˚C will reduce battery life (rule of thumb: 50% life reduction per every 10˚C increase. After this time it is appropriate to have a change-out program.
