Simulcast Hardware Installation Equipment Inspection and InventoryEquipment Inspection and InventoryMotorola recommends that an inventory of all equipment is taken with a Motorola representative to ensurethat the order is complete. Carefully inspect all equipment and accessories to verify they arrived in goodcondition. Promptly report any damaged or missing items to a Motorola representative.Placement RecommendationsThe following are recommendations for placing equipment at a site:•Secure each rack on a firm, and level floor.•Use the correct mounting hardware to prevent rack movement.•Use strain relief when installing and positioning cables and cords to helpensure that no interruption of service occurs.•Allow at least 1 m (3 ft.) of space at the front and rear of the system to allow forproper air flow, cooling, and safe access to equipment. The system componentsrequire an ambient air temperature of 0º C to 50º C (32º to 122º F).•Locate the site racks and other equipment with enough spacing to allow access for service.Service personnel require access to both the front and rear of the racks.•Locate the system in an area that is free of dust, smoke, and electrostatic discharge (ESD).•Ground the racks according to the Standards and Guidelines forCommunication Sites (68P81089E50).Spacing RequirementsProper spacing of equipment is essential for ready access to equipment, ease of maintenance, and safety ofpersonnel. Spacing requirements have been established to meet the National Fire Protection Associations(NFPA) Code, and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers(ASHRAE) standards. Also, adhere to any local regulations that apply to spacing requirements.See the Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites (68P81089E50) fordetails on these space requirements.Weight Distribution Within a RackTo avoid hazards or damage from uneven loading of a rack, distribute the weight of equipmentevenly in the rack, and consider the limitations of equipment and cables. When possible,mount the heaviest components in the bottom of the rack.68P81003Y71-O November 2002 2-9
Rack Requirements Chapter 2: Installing the Simulcast Subsystem HardwareRack RequirementsMost communications equipment is installed in a standard 48.26 cm (19-in.) EIA rackor enclosed cabinet. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions when installing racks orcabinets, and installing equipment into the rack or cabinet.Use all supplied bracing hardware when installing a rack or cabinet and secureall equipment within a rack or cabinet.If additional equipment needs to be installed, refer to the system design document provided bythe Field Engineer or consult the Motorola Field Representative.Bonding and GroundingCabinets and equpment racks include a rack grounding bar (RGB) with the capacity to terminatenumerous solid or stranded 6 AWG copper ground wires, which are associated with internal metallicor fiber optic cables and external grounding to power company equipment.You must ground all doors of a metal cabinet by bonding the door to the main cabinetusing a 6 AWG (minimum) copper wire.The RGB is shipped with dual-hole lugs to terminate 2 AWG ground wires. The minimumnumber of dual-hole attachments is system dependent and is specified by the customer. Thisbar provides electrical continuity between all bonds and ground wire with a current carryingcapacity equal to or exceeding that of a 6 AWG copper wire.See the Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites (68P81089E50) for moreinformation on proper bonding and ground at a site.Power RequirementsThe Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites (68P81089E50) defines the guidelinesand requirements for cabinets, which house equipment that requires AC power input. Someof the guidelines and requirements are as follows:•The cabinet is designed to accept 120/240 V, single-phase power with an amperageservice as required by the electronic equipment.•Cabinets serviced by commercial power must be equipped with a nationallyrecognized test laboratory (NRTL) certified power distribution panel that containsa main circuit breaker or individual circuit breakers of the correct size as requiredfor the electronic equipment or specified by the customer.•A decal showing an electrical schematic of the power wiring must be affixedto the inside surface of the cabinet.•All AC power equipment and electrical components must conform to NationalElectrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and National Electrical Code(NEC).ThesemustalsobelistedbyanNRTL.2-10 68P81003Y71-O November 2002
Simulcast Hardware Installation Antenna Requirements•A surge protector, designed to protect equipment systems from surges at a 120/240 Vservice and load center, must be placed on the power feed ahead of all individual loadcenter circuit breakers. This protector must be listed by an NRTL for the purpose intended.•Selection of a surge protector is based on the susceptibility of the equipmentpowered by the electrical service, with margin provided for locally generateddisturbances. See ANSI/IEEE C62.41 for more details.•At least one 120 VAC, 15 A duplex convenience outlet equipped with ground faultinterrupter (GFI) protection must be provided in the electronic equipment compartment.Table 2-2 lists the required wire gauges for various installations. The “loop length” refers tothe combined length of the -48 VDC (hot) lead and the DC return lead. For example, a cabinetinstallation that needs 16 feet of wire to reach the power supply rack has a total loop lengthof 32 feet. For a standard installation, the equipment cabinet is located adjacent to the powersupply rack with a cable loop length less than 10.6 m (35 ft.).Wire used for the cabinet power connection to the breaker panel shall not be less than 6 AWG. Totalcable loop (from the power supply rack breakers to the STR 3000 cabinet) voltage drop shall notexceed 500 mV for the cabling of the -48 VDC (hot) lead and the DC return leads.Some sites may require larger sizes than those noted in Table 2-2 to meet local codes. When larger cableis used to run from a power source, the cable shall be “tapped down” to a smaller size for connectionto the STR 3000 breaker panel. In accordance with local code requirements, a properly sized electricalbox mounted on top of the STR 3000 rack cabinet or commercial tap cover is the point where the cablesize transition should take place. The site planner will specify the details of the transition.When a “tapped down” connection is used, the total voltage drop between the “tappeddown” section and the main loop should not exceed 500 mV.The screws that connect the power cables to the power supply rack are not provided and must belocally procured. Power supply rack breaker panel screw size is 3/8-16 x 3/4.Table 2-2 Power Connection Wire GaugeLoop Length Wire Gauge Maximum Outer Diameterof Cable15.3 m (50 ft.) or less 6AWG 10.2 mm (0.40 in.)15.3to24.4m(50to80ft.) 4AWG 10.2 mm (0.40 in.)24.4 to 36.6 m (80 to 120 ft.) 2AWG 10.2 mm (0.40 in.)Antenna RequirementsAll antenna feed line installations are to be made through a metal antenna entry plate thatis external to the site building. See the Standards and Guidelines for Communication Sites(68P81089E50) for details on the requirements for antenna feed lines.RF Antenna at the Co-Located SiteThe RF antenna provides a link between the prime and remote sites without introducing overload,desensitivity, and intermodulation at a co-located site. You may need to install a fixed attenuator to theantenna feed line at the site. The values for these attenuators can vary from site to site.68P81003Y71-O November 2002 2-11
Transmit Antenna on the STR 3000 Simulcast Base Radio Rack Chapter 2: Installing the Simulcast Subsystem HardwareTransmit Antenna on the STR 3000 Simulcast Base Radio RackOne transmit cavity combiner can support up to 12 base radios per transmit antenna. It is possible tocombine the base radios into as few as two cabinets, if they are adjacent. To increase system reliabilityand eliminate a single point of failure, use a minimum of two transmit antennas per site.GPS RequirementsA simulcast subsystem uses two Global Positioning System (GPS) antennas to provide a certain degreeof redundancy in case one antenna is damaged or inadvertently shadowing. Mount the two antennas atleast 3.05 m (10 ft.) apart with an unrestricted aerial view down to within 10˚of the horizon in alldirections. The antennas must also be mounted high enough to clear the peak of the site roof.Defining the Correct View for the LocationThe hemispheric location of the site also affects installation of the GPS antennas. For systems in thenorthern hemisphere, mount the antennas to maintain a clear view of the southern sky. For systems inthe southern hemisphere, mount the antennas to maintain a clear view of the northern sky.Avoiding ObstructionsBe careful to avoid adjacent structures (such as trees and buildings), which can obstruct the GPSantennas with their wide and solid profiles. Mount the antennas to clear these types of obstructions.However, an adjacent antenna tower that protrudes into the required view at a prime or remote site doesnot obstruct the view and only has a minimal effect on reception from the GPS satellite.Isolate the GPS antennas from any RF interference by mounting the antennas at least12˚horizontally from other transmitting antennas.GPS Antenna Line LossThe maximum allowable line attenuation between the antenna and the TRAK 9100 GPS receiver is 10 dB.This 10 dB figure includes a 4 dB margin for attenuation from foliage. So, in an installation in which thereis interference from foliage, allow for 6 dB line loss and 4 dB foliage attenuation. Installations in whichthe antenna has an unobstructed view of the sky may have a maximum line attenuation of 10 dB.In a typical installation using 0.5-in. low density foam coaxial cable, the length of the cable runshould never exceed 45.72 m (150 ft.). This is sufficient for most installations.When considering the use of larger cables, calculate the cable lengths allowing 4.5 dB of loss at 1.5 GHz.The remaining 1.5 dB of attenuation is provided by interior site cabling and connectors.For more information on installation of the GPS antenna, see "Installing the GlobalPositioning Satellite Antenna" on page 3-26.2-12 68P81003Y71-O November 2002
Simulcast Hardware Installation Environmental RequirementsEnvironmental RequirementsOne of the major considerations in designing a site is how to maintain an environment in which theequipment can operate efficiently. A properly designed heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC)system provides the proper environmental conditions for the communications equipment.Each manufacturer specifies an operating or ambient temperature for their equipment.These two terms for temperature are defined:•Operating temperature refers to the temperature within the equipment case withthe equipment operating at a given capacity or load.•Ambient temperature refers to the environmental temperature as typically measured152 cm (5 ft.) above the floor in the center of an adjacent aisle.For the specific environmental requirements for the equipment in a simulcast subsystem, see:•Chapter 3,"Installing the Prime Site (10Base-2)."•Chapter 4,"Installing the Prime Site (10Base-T)."•Chapter 5,"Installing the Digital Simulcast Remote Site (10Base-2)."•Chapter 6,"Installing the Digital Simulcast Remote Site (10Base-T)."Expansion ConsiderationsExpansion cabinets or racks allow equipment to be added to a site. Each type of equipment has itsown specific cabinet or rack for installing additional devices. For example, install an expansion rackto add STR 3000 Simulcast Base Radios to a site in the digital simulcast subsystem.Each expansion cabinet or rack has its own requirements for installation. Detailedinformation for expansions appear in "Installing the Expansion Cabinets" on page 5-10and "Installing the Expansion Cabinets" on page 6-11.Electrostatic DischargeElectronic components, such as circuit boards and memory modules, can be extremely sensitiveto electrostatic discharge (ESD). Motorola recommends that an antistatic wrist strap and aconductive foam pad be used when installing or upgrading the system.If an ESD station is not available, wear an antistatic wrist strap. Wrap the strap around the wrist andattach the ground end (usually a piece of copper foil or an alligator clip) to an electrical ground. Anelectrical ground can be a piece of metal that literally runs into the ground (such as an unpaintedmetal pipe) or the metal part of a grounded electrical appliance. An appliance is grounded if ithas a three-prong plug and is plugged into a three-prong grounded outlet.68P81003Y71-O November 2002 2-13
FCC Requirements Chapter 2: Installing the Simulcast Subsystem HardwareDo not use a computer as a ground, because it is not plugged in during installation.FCC RequirementsRadio frequency (RF) transmitters installed at sites within the United States must be incompliance with the following FCC regulations:•Only persons holding a general class commercial radio telephone operator’s licenseor non-licensed persons working under the immediate supervision of licensedoperators can make adjustments to radio transmitters.•The power input to the final RF stage shall not exceed the maximum powerspecified on the current station authorization.•The frequency of the transmitter must be checked during initial installation ofthe transmitter, when replacing modules, or when making adjustments that affectthe carrier frequency or modulation characteristics.This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection againstharmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed properly andused in accordance with the instruction manuals, the equipment may cause harmful interference toradio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmfulinterference, in which case the user is required to correct the interference.Electromagnetic Safety RequirementsThis section describes information you need to know about working near electromagnetic energy.2-14 68P81003Y71-O November 2002
Simulcast Hardware Installation OSHA Related Safety RequirementsOSHA Related Safety RequirementsThe United States Department of Labor, through the provisions of the Occupational Safety and HealthAct (OSHA) of 1970, has established an electromagnetic energy safety standard that applies to the useof this equipment. Proper use of this equipment will result in exposure below the OSHA limit.Human Exposure Compliance for RF EnergySTR 3000 Simulcast Base Radios are designed to generate and radiate RF energy by means ofan external antenna. When terminated into a non-radiating RF load, the base radio equipmentis certified to comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations pertainingto human exposure of RF radiation in accordance with the FCC Rules Part 1 section 1.1310 aspublished in title 47 code of federal regulations and procedures established in TIA/EIA TSB92, Reporton EME Evaluation for RF Cabinet Emissions Under FCC MPE Guidelines.Compliance to FCC regulations of the final installation should be assessed and take into accountsite specific characteristics, such as type and location of antennas, as well as site accessibility ofoccupational personnel (controlled environment) and general public (uncontrolled environment). Thisequipment should only be installed and maintained by trained technicians. Licensees of the FCCusing this equipment are responsible for ensuring that its installation and operation comply with FCCregulations Part 1 section 1.1310 as published in title 47 code of federal regulations.Whether a given installation meets FCC limits for human exposure to radio frequency radiationmay depend not only on this equipment, but also on whether the “environments” being assessed arebeing affected by radio frequency fields from other equipment, the effects of which may add to thelevel of exposure. Accordingly, the overall exposure may be affected by radio frequency generatingfacilities that exist at the time the licensee’s equipment is being installed or even by equipmentinstalled later. Therefore, the effect of any such facilities must be considered in site selection andin determining whether a particular installation meets the FCC requirements.FCC OET Bulletin 65 provides materials to assist in making determinations if a given facility iscompliant with the human exposure to RF radiation limits. Determining the compliance of transmittersites of various complexities may be accomplished by means of computational methods.In general, observe the following guidelines when working in or around radio transmitter sites:•Ensure that all personnel have electromagnetic energy awareness training.•Ensure that all personnel entering the site are authorized.•Obey all posted signs.•Assume all antennas are active.•Beforeworkingonantennas,notifyowners and disable appropriate transmitters.•Maintain minimum of 1 m (3 ft.) clearance from all antennas.•Do not stop in front of antennas.•Use personal RF monitors while working near antennas.•Never operate transmitters without shields during normal operation.•Do not operate base station antennas in equipment rooms.68P81003Y71-O November 2002 2-15

Thissection describes how the TRAK 9100 simulcast site reference is installed at a remote site.Overview of the TRAK 9100 Simulcast Site ReferenceAsimulcast system uses signals from the Navstar Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) system tosynchronize the audio from multiple transmitters. A GPS receiver needs to receive the 1 pps signalfrom at least four satellites before it can establish its exact geographical location.The TRAK 9100 uses the satellite signal to derive a high-precision 1 pps signal used in the simulcastsystem for time launching. By launching signals at exactly the same time from multiple sites, destructiveinterference of the transmitted signals in overlap areas is minimized. In addition to controlling thelaunch, the use of GPS allows for variance in delay of the distribution network (T1/E1).The TRAK 9100 simulcast site reference provides 1 pps and 5 Mpps reference signalsfor the following components at a remote site:•Base radios•Remote site channel bank•Remote site hubFigure 5-9 shows the modules and connections on the front view of the simulcast site reference.68P81003Y71-O November 2002 5-25

(Module A2 doesnot include a front-panel cooling fan like Module A1.)Power Supply Converts AC input to DC voltages used by all other TRAK 9100modules.Frequency DistributionModuleOutputs the 1 pps and 5 Mpps reference signals along withcomposite signal.Fault Sense Unit Detects system failures and provides control, alarm, and statusinformation.Installing the TRAK 9100 Simulcast Site Reference in the RackThe TRAK 9100 simulcast site reference is installed in an EIA/TIA 19-in.

Simulcast Hardware Installation Grounding the ChassisGrounding the ChassisConnect the grounding cable to the ground lug. The ground lug is a screw on the back ofthe power supply located to the left of the AC power receptacles.Use 6 AWG wire and the appropriate lug connected to chassis ground through to the RGB.Wiring for PowerThe two AC outlets on the rear of the panel provide power to all of the modules in the TRAK 9100.Installing an Expansion RackSee "Installing TRAK 9200 Simulcast Site Reference for Expansion" on page 5-31.Installing the GPS AntennaThe GPS antenna feeds the TRAK 9100 simulcast site reference, which provides a 5 Mpps/1 pps signal (5Mpps signal at 1 pps repetition rate) to the base radios and other components at the remote site. Thissignal establishes timing functions for the transmit and receive frequencies for the base radios.Perform Procedure 5-2 to install the GPS antenna.Procedure 5-2 How to Install the GPS Antennas1Mount the GPS antenna with an unrestricted aerial down view to within 10˚ofthe horizon in all directions.2Mount the antennas high enough to clear the peak of the site roof using thefollowing guidelines:•For systems in the northern hemisphere, mount the GPS antennas so that aclear view of the southern sky is maintained.•For systems in the southern hemisphere, mount the GPS antennas so that aclear view of the northern sky is maintained.3Isolate the GPS antennas from RF interference by mounting the antennas at adistance of at least 3.66 m (12 ft.) horizontally from the other antennas.4Mount the GPS antennas to clear obstructions and provide a clear path.Adjacent structures (such as trees or buildings) are consideredobstructions due to their wide and solid profiles.Adjacent antenna towers at the RF site which protrude into therequired view (but have a minimal effect on GPS satellite receptiondue to their narrow, largely open profiles) are not consideredobstructions.68P81003Y71-O November 2002 5-27
GPS Antenna Line Loss Chapter 5: Installing the Digital Simulcast Remote Site (10Base-2)The simulcast system will not operate properly if the GPS receiver is not locked onto atleast four GPS satellites. The four satellites are used to establish a three-dimensionalfix (latitude, longitude, and altitude) for the site.The TRAK 9100 will free-run for a time period defined by configuration settings. However,after the specified period while still operating without the GPS satellite signals, the simulcastsystem will not operate. The GPS antennas must be properly positioned, and the cables andconnectors must be properly maintained to ensure operation of the simulcast system.If the TRAK 9100 is powered down, the simulcast system will not operate properly untilthe GPS receiver has locked onto the signals from at least four GPS satellites. Thisprocess takes approximately 13 to 25 minutes to complete.GPS Antenna Line LossCutting the cable below a recommended minimum length cancause problems with signal strength overload. Refer to AppendixE in the TRAK 9100 Reference book.The maximum allowable line attenuation between the antenna and the TRAK 9100 is 6 dB. Thisincludes a 4 dB margin for attenuation from foliage. Installations in which the antenna has anunobstructed view of the sky may have a maximum line attenuation of 10 dB.In a typical installation using 0.5-in., low density foam coaxial cable, the length of the cable runshould never exceed 45.72 m (150 ft). This is sufficient for most installations.When considering the use of larger cables, calculate the cable lengths allowing 4.5 dB of loss at 1.5 GHz.The remaining 1.5 dB of attenuation is provided by interior site cabling and connectors.GPS Antenna Operating SpecificationsTable 5-20 lists the operating specifications for the GPS antenna.Table 5-20 Operating Specifications for the GPS AntennaSpecification Value or RangePhysical Dimensions Diameter: 8.89 cm (3.5 in.)Height: 10.16 cm (4.0 cm)Weight 0.32 kg (0.7 lb) (excluding mast)Operating Temperature -40º to +85º C (-40º to 185º F)5-28 68P81003Y71-O November 2002
