UNPACK, INSPECT
Carefully inspect the TRACER for any shipping damages. If damage is suspected, file a claim immediately with the carrier then contact ADTRAN Customer Service. If possible, keep the original shipping container for use in shipping the TRACER back for repair or for verification of damage during shipment.
Before beginning installation, verify that all of the following components are present.
Rackmounted RFC Configuration:
Provided by ADTRAN | • Baseband Processor (BBP) |
| • Rackmounted RF Converter (RFC) |
| • BBP to RFC IF interconnect cable |
Provided by customer | • E1 Interface cables |
| • Antenna feedline cable |
| • Antenna and mounting hardware |
| • VT100 terminal and |
| • 21 to 60 volt DC power source (available from ADTRAN), either |
| polarity referenced to ground |
Mastmounted RFC Configuration:
Provided by ADTRAN | • Baseband Processor |
| • Mastmounted RF Converter |
Provided by customer | • E1 interface cables |
| • Antenna feedline cable |
| • Antenna and mounting hardware |
| • BBP to mastmounted RFC IF interconnect cable |
| • VT100 terminal and |
| • 21 to 60 volt DC power source (available from ADTRAN), either |
| polarity referenced to ground |
INSTALLATION
Location and Mounting
Install the TRACER in a location that requires minimal antenna feedline length (the loss in this cable directly affects overall system performance). When used with a rackmount RFC the BBP is designed to be mounted above the RFC. Although no space is needed between the units, certain regulations may require at least 19.05 mm (.75") of space above and below the BBP.
Power Requirements
The TRACER can operate from a supply between 21 and 60 volts DC, with either polarity referenced to ground, and consumes 30 watts. Amperage is determined by dividing the wattage (30) by the input voltage (i.e., 30 watts/48 volts = .625 amps).
