Repeat for the rear bars and maintain correct spac-ing distance between the front and rear bars.Tighten all clamping angles.2.3 Cable duct assemblySee Vol. 2 Section 2 Chapter 6.The cable duct sections are numbered and should be assembled according to the drawing. Sections are joined together by means of blind rivets. When the assembly is complete drill holes through to the concrete and fix the duct by means of plastic plugs and screws.The lids should not be put on until cables are installed.2.4 Antenna assemblySee Vol. 2 Section 2 Chapter 6.Lay out all masts and stay on the frame work.Place the bottom ends on al.bar and let all top ends point towards the runway. Notice that the rear masts have a slot near the bottom end.Before erecting, all monitor and antenna cables must be installed. Check that the cable mark-ings are close to the connector. Roll off about one meter from the outer end and form it to a straight line. Push the cable through the slot in the mast all the way to the top at the same time as you roll off more of the cable. Gently turn the roll left/right to avoid the obstacles inside the mast. Leave the rest of the roll in the cable duct.After all cables are installed the masts can be erected. Secure masts with stays immediately after erection. Depending on antenna mast height there will be one or two long stays between front and rear rows.Tighten all bolts at the mast bottom. Level the masts sideways and tighten the short stays. Leave the long stays loose, to make it easier to install antennas. Install the networks. Check the drawing for antenna system in question. Don’t forget the thick alu.-washer behind the backplate ( pos 9 dwg 16361 A3 ) Install the antennas. The flange at the front can be tightened with all four bolts. Cables should not be connected at this stage, just secure the rear flange with one bolt. 2.5 Anntenna cablesDuring this operation the connectors must be protected.Carefully roll out the cables forward, through the antenna system and towards the runway. All cables to the left of the centre should be brought to the left of respectively mast and of course opposite for the other side (see figure 2-3 )Cut appr. 0,5 m pieces of the flexible conduit, one for each antenna. Push them over the cables and into the mast, leaving just a few cm outside. Also slide the plastic bushing all the way to the mast. Pull the cables back and feed them through the hole in the cable duct. Lay the cables in a loop inside the duct, and connect them to respectively network. Be observant by pulling so the cables don’t hook on to any obstacles on the ground.

No.: 16643A33.6.2 Mounting of supportsThe vertical adjustment rails are mounted in the mast structure in accordance with drawing dwg. 16643A3. The rails should be offset according to calculation made for the site in ques-tion. They should be positioned horizontally such that the centre of the rail lines up with the antenna offset given by the site data, and vertically so the centre lines up with the antenna height. See example Dwg. No.: 16641A3/16642A3.If the offset is too wide to be adjusted with the vertical rail, position the rail as far as possible to the side and do the rest of the adjustment by sliding the antenna in the bracket pos. 2 dwg. 16792A3.3.6.3 Antenna assemblyThe antenna assembly, which comprises the radom and the antenna, is mounted to the verti-cal adjustment rail.

Use the NM3710 with portable test antenna.On the the runway establish a point officially marked as the centre line for DDM measure-ments. Ascertain that the measurement point is not affected by reflected signals degrading the direct received signals from the antenna pairs. This can be tested by moving the test antenna a few meters back and fourth while observing the DDM reading. If the value is not changing significantly then the measurement position is OK.Take a note of the DDM reading first from antenna pair A1/A6.Connect pair A2/A5 to ADU outputs A2/A5 and disconnect pair A1/A6, dummyload A1/A6 ADU.Take a note of the DDM reading.Carry out this procedure until all antenna pairs DDM readings have been noted.If any antenna pair measures DDM different from zero, one of the antenna pair feed cable lengths should be trimmed in order to bring the DDM reading to zero.If the DDM reading is positive (150 Hz dominance) the antenna cable at the right hand side (A4...A6) should be trimmed.The sensitivity of DDM versus electrical phase error of 2° (5° CS) is given in the table below:The sensitivity of DDM versus electrical phase error can be estimated using the following pro-cedure:1. Note the DDM value reported by the operator at the Field Test Set for the antenna pair under test. 2. a) If the DDM value is positive (150 Hz dominance), insert a male-female (MF) N-adaptor (-9°) in the antenna left side seen forward toward the Field test set. b) If the DDM value is negative (90 Hz dominance), insert a male-female (MF) N-adaptor (-9°) in the antenna right side seen forward toward the Field test set.3. Note the new DDM value. (This value should have oposite polarity compared to the value without the adaptor.)4.

From the centreline of the opposite threshold determine points perpendicular to the CL 105 meter to both sides of the runway. Use the NM3710 with portable antenna and measure DDM at these points. The readings should be close to -15.5% at the 90-side and 15.5% at the 150-side. However, some unsymmetry may be expected due to reflections and tolerances in the antenna system.Check the CL DDM at two or three positions in order to estimate an average value.Expected value: 0.0%±0.2% DDM.1.4 Monitor combining unit (MCU) adjustments1.4.1 Course LineConnect the Field Test Set to the CL output connector of the MCU.Adjust the CL line stretcher to obtain 0.0% DDM.1.4.2 Course SectorConnect the Field Test Set to the CS output of the MCU.Adjust the CS line stretcher to obtain a reading of 15.5% DDM.1.5 Near field monitor adjustmentsThe exact position of the near field monitor antenna cannot be determined until after the flight check is completed, due to possible mechanical re-alignment of the antenna array.1.5.1 Mechanical alignmentAlign the near field (NF) monitor antenna mechanically in the extended runway centreline position.1.5.2 Final electrical position adjustmentConnect the Field Test Set to the NF monitor cable. The reading should be 0.0% DDM if the antenna is aligned correctly and no reflections appear.Otherwise, a small mechanical re-positioning of the antenna may be necessary in order to obtain 0.0% DDM.

From this plot Forward slope (FSL) and Sideway slope (SSL) can be calculated. FSL is defined negative for falling forward slope seen from the GP mast. SSL is defined positive for rising side slope seen from the GP mast toward the runway.In order to calculate the data needed to position the GP mast, the antenna elements and near field antenna, the following parameters must be known:• Forward slope (FSL)• Sideway slope (SSL)• Sideway distance from runway centreline to GP mast• Operating glide path angle• GP rf channel frequencyThe mechanical data outputs are:• Mast tilt, same as FSL• Antenna elements heights• Antenna elements offsets• Near field monitor antenna distance and height• Threshold data8.1.2 Forward shift (FWD)The antennas should be vertically offset to compensate for forward slope (FSL). See Section 1, Chapter 3.6.3.8.1.3 Antenna heightsAntenna heights shall be referenced to the intercept point of the terrain slope and the GP mast. In addition rf wave penetration a few centimetres into the soil (reflection plane) shall be included to equal the specified antenna heights.

For normal lead acid accumulators 22V (1.83V/cell) is a reasonable cut-off voltage.• Turn Off the Mains switch• Connect a DC supply, preadjusted to the desired cut-off (reference) voltage and deacti-vated, to the external charger input on CI 1376. This is called the reference supply.• Connect a multimeter in DC volt position to the battery input.• Turn the reference supply On.• If you measure 0V on the battery adjust the potentiometer on PB1378 until the relay tog-gles and you measure the reference voltage.• If you measure the reference voltage, adjust the potentiometer until the relay disconnects and you measure 0V.2.4.3 Battery charger voltageThe cells of a lead acid battery has an optimal voltage when they are fully charged. This volt-age is greatly dependent on the temperature. The battery life time will decrease if this rule is not followed. To meet the demand, the internal battery charger(s) in NM 7050, the PS 1375, has a temperature compensated charging voltage.Due to current limiting in PS 1375, a discharged battery will firstly be charged with a constant current, ≈2A with one PS1375 and ≈6A with two PS1375. When the battery draws less than the current limit, the battery will be charged with a constant voltage (UBATT). The factory set-ting for the internal battery charger is:UBATT20=27.6V@20°C with This is the normal final voltage for lead acid accumulators. If your batteries require a different final voltage, the adjustment procedure is as follows:• Turn the Battery switch Off and have one TX on .• Measure the environment temperature TENV (in °C)• Compute the temperature deviation ∆T = TENV - 20°C• Compute the new expected final voltage at your environment temperature as • Adjust the potentiometer on PS1375 until you measure UBATT on the 27V test point on CI 1376.⇒Inner Marker uses an external 10 dB attenuator, use 0.2W, 0.1W and 50mW to cali-brate. Carrier Power is measured prior to the attenuator, but the software will automati-cally compensate for the 10dB.k∆UBATT∆T-------------------- 40 mV°C--------–==UU kTBATT BATT=+⋅20 ∆Example:Your battery requires a final voltage of 26V at 20°C, and you have measured an environ-mental temperature of 25°C.
