5700 Controls (1)

• POWER OFF / STANDBY / ON switchWhen in STANDBY,
  only the reference oscillator and MC sections
  operate. The 5700 can be turned ON by the
  control-panel switch, a serial data command or a
  remote contact closure.
• SSPA - INHIBIT / REMOTE / ACTIVATE The Control
  Panel switch allows local activation or
  de-activation of the SSPA for maintenance, and
  for re-setting alarms. Remote control is also
  possible by serial data command or a dry-contact
  closure

5
5700 Controls (2)

• Factory default switch settings
• The highlighted switch positions correspond to
  RS232 interface,ASCII protocol, 9600 bits/sec.,8
  data bits, no parity.
• The TERM and PACKET ADDRESS switch settings are
  not relevant.

6
SSPA

• No controls or adjustments on the module
• Choice of WR137 (CPRG flange) or N-type output
• 5 to 40W only
• 60 and 120W SSPAs only have WR137 CPRG flange
• Activating / inhibiting is controlled by the 5700
  Converter
• Gain vs. temperature compensation system gain
  adjustment is also within the converter.

7
High Power SSPA

• Controls or adjustments in the module not
  necessary
• WR137 (CPRG flange) output for superior
  performance
• Activating / inhibiting is controlled by the 5700
  Converter
• Gain vs. temperature compensation system gain
  adjustment is within the SSPA.

8
Getting Started (1)

• Connecting a basic low power system

9
Getting Started (2)

• Connecting a basic High Power system

10
Getting Started (3)

• Grounding of modules
• Ensure the SSPA, Converter and 5582 Power Supply
  are suitably grounded to a good-quality lightning
  stake
• Ensure the antenna is also suitably grounded to a
  good-quality lightning earth stake

11
5582 Mains Power Supply

• 115/230V selection
• Simple linear power supply design
• 5A or 2.5A 20 x 5mm delay fuse (T type)
• Provide a PROTECTIVE GROUND
• Unit is UNREGULATED
• Includes 48V on LED

12
Powering Up

• Select SSPA INHIBIT.
• Turn on the mains power.
• Turn on the 5700.
• Connect the hand-held controller or personal
  computer to configure the transceivers
  perameters.
• If you have a load connected, you can also turn
  on (ACTIVATE) the SSPA.

13
Programming the 5700 (1)

• For PC operation, set the 5700 DIP switches to
  match your terminal settings.
• Establish PC-5700 communications via a spare COM
  port on your PC the 19-way MC connector on the
  5700.
• You can use the Windows Hyper Terminal
  facility, ProComm or similar communications
  software - no need to buy special software !

14
Programming the 5700 (2)

• The Set Parameter commands and Fault Enable
  commands must correctly reflect your actual
  hardware configuration
• The Logging commands determine what information
  (if any) is sent to the terminal about the 5700
  operating status.

15
Programming the 5700 (3)

• Certain parameters are essential for correct RF
  operation
• Others are required for remote control of the RF
  system

16
Programming the 5700 (4)

• Parameters may be set from the configuration PC
  terminal or the 5570 Remote Controller Unit
• Certain parameters may be set from the 5560
  Hand-Held controller

17
Alarms

• Some alarm states will inhibit transmission
  CONVERTER, SSPA, TEMP (SSPA case gt 75C)
• A FAN or SSPA alarm must be reset by selecting
  SSPA INHIBIT first, then re-activating the SSPA.
• An LNA alarm due to open-circuit will reset
  automatically when the LNA is connected.
• An LNA alarm due to current exceeding 250mA from
  the N-connector will shut-down the LNA supply. To
  reset, switch the 5700 to STAND-BY then back ON.

18
5560 Hand-Held Controller

• Super-convenient set-up tool
• Easily fits in technicianstool box
• Programs all operatingparameters of the
  5700with a simple, intuitivemenu
• Simply ensure RS232 and ASCII are selected on
  the front of the 5700, and plug in the 5560.

19
5570 Remote Controller

• Indoor mount, 2RU high
• Provides full MC of the transceiver.
• Operating peratmeters
• Fault monitoring
• Operates with either RS232 or RS422
• 50m Cable provided as standard
• Optional lengths available

20
More on Serial Control...

• Illegal commandsCertain hardware configurations
  will prohibit the use of certain serial commands.
  
• Output CommandsWide range of commands to invite
  a response from the 5700 of a single parameter or
  operating state.
• Packet Protocol Variety of packet protocols to
  suit common Network Management Systems.

21
Integrating the 5700 with your station design

• Overall transmit gain is adjustable from 35 to
  65dB (nom) for 60/120W systems, 44 to 74dB (nom.)
  for 10/20/30/40W systems, or 41 to 71dB (nom.)
  for 5W systems.
• Overall receive gain is adjustable from 70 to
  100dB (nom.), assuming an LNA gain of 55dB.
