2.1 Environment for Installation

For higher performance of the Signalling Tester, never install it in the following places: where the unit is subjected to strong vibration where it is humid or dusty where the unit is subjected to the direct rays of the sun where active gas exists As well, we recommend use at room temperature and with little fluctuation in power voltage to maintain safe operation.
CAUTION
Prevention of trouble due to condensation If the Signalling Tester is used at a low temperature around 5C for a long period of time and then used at the ordinary temperature, condensation may short-circuit the unit. To avoid this type of problem, dry the unit sufficiently before turning power-on.
Distance from the unit fan: As shown in Fig. 2.1-1 Installation area, the rear panel of the Signalling Tester has a fan to prevent an inner temperature surge. Keep the fan at a distance of 10 cm from wall, peripheral devices or other obstacles.
Keep at least 10 cm apart.

Safety Precautions
2.2 Safety Precautions

Here are the safety precautions you should take to avoid electric shock and/or damage to the unit.
2.2.1
Safety precautions related to power supply
CAUTION
Before turning power on Protective grounding Be sure to ground the Signalling Tester. Turning on the power without protective grounding may result in loss of life or injury from electric shock. Power voltage Check the power voltage. Voltage above the specifications may damage the unit or cause a fire. While turning power on Cautions during maintenance work Certain maintenance work on the Signalling Tester requires checking and adjustments inside of the unit. In this case, the top and bottom or side covers must be kept open while the power is on. The Signaling Tester contains dangerous high-voltage parts inside that may cause electric shock if they are touched carelessly leading to loss of life or injury. Maintenance work on the Signalling Tester should be carried out by a qualified service engineer.
2.2.2
Protective measures
(1) Grounding with 3-pole power outlet Polarity of 3-pole (ground-type 2-pole AC) outlet matches that of 3core power cord plug. The moment you insert the power cord for the Signalling Tester into the outlet, the Signalling Tester is connected to the ground potential. You do not need to directly ground the grounding (FG) terminal. No 3-pole to 2-pole conversion adapter is needed.
2-3

(2) Grounding by conversion adapter If you do not have a 3-pole power outlet, Connect the end of the green wire from the 3-pole to 2-pole conversion adapter to the ground potential by using the 3-pole to 2-pole conversion adapter shown in Fig. 2.2.2-1 Conversion adapter.

(3) Grounding by protective ground (FG) terminal If you do not have a 3-pole power outlet and grounding with the green wire is not allowed, directly connect the frame protective grounding (FG) terminal on the rear panel to the ground potential.
CAUTION
Avoiding danger by protective grounding If power is turned on without protective grounding, an electric shock may lead to injury. When you do not have a 3pole (ground-type 2-pole AC) outlet, be sure to connect the frame ground (FG) terminal for the rear panel or the grounding terminal of the accessory power cord to the ground potential before supplying power to the Signalling Tester.

Safety Precautions
2.2.3
Replacing the fuse

The Signalling Tester contains 1 spare fuse (T15A250V) as a standard accessory. Use this spare fuse when a current fuse is blown. Before replacing the fuse, be sure to investigate and eliminate the problem. Table 2.2.3-1 Fuse specification Power system 100 Vac 200 Vac AC voltage 100 to 120 V 200 to 240 V Fuse rating Fuse rating Fuse name plate T15 A T15 A 15 A, 250 V T15A250V Model, mark F0111
For more information on the fuse, see Fig. 2.2.3-1 Inlet and fuse holder.

CAUTION
Avoiding an electric shock Before replacing a fuse, be sure to turn off the power switch and to remove the electric plug from the outlet. If you replace a fuse while the power is on, you may have an electric shock. Check before turning on again Before turning on the unit again after replacing a fuse, make sure one of the protective measures mentioned above is taken and check that the AC power voltage is appropriate. If no protective measure is taken, an electric shock may occur when turning it on again. Inappropriate AC power voltage can damage the inside of the Signalling Tester due to abnormal voltage. Checking new fuse If you have no spare fuse, replace the current fuse with one that is the same type, voltage and current. If a different type of fuse is used, you may experience troubles like mounting and removing difficulties, poor contact and extended pre-arcing time. If the voltage and current ratings of the new fuse are too high, the fuse may not blow when trouble occurs again, which is likely to cause the unit fire damage. After taking the safety measures above, replace a fuse as follows: Step 1. 2. 3. 4. Fuse replacement procedure Turn off the power switches on the front and rear panels and disconnect the power cord from the outlet. Remove the fuse holder cap shown in Fig. 2.2.3-1. Replace the fuse with the spare rated fuse. Return the cap to the fuse holder.
If you do not have a rated fuse, contact Anritsu Corporation or the representative to order one. Please tell us the model name, code number, item name, and quantity.

Calibration
5.2 Calibration
Turn on the Signalling Tester and measuring instruments at least 24 hours before starting the calibration to make their performance becomes stable. To achieve the highest accuracy, the test should be performed at room temperature with little AC voltage fluctuation, in an environment free from noise, vibration, dust and humidity.
5.2.1
Reference oscillator frequency calibration

This paragraph explains calibration using a MF2412B frequency counter (here after MF2412B). The 10 MHz reference oscillator stability for the 8 Signalling Tester is 2 10 /day. For frequency standard instrument, use a standard signal unit, which receives standard radio wave of higher stability or sub-carrier of color TV broadcasting (signal locked to the rubidium atomic standard instrument) and generates signal locked to this frequency standard instrument.

6.1 Storage
This section describes the precautions for long-term storage of the Signalling Tester.
6.1.1
Cleaning the cabinet

Before cleaning, be sure to turn off the power and remove the power cable from the outlet. Clean the cabinet exterior as follows: Wipe with a soft cloth. When dust or dirt is stuck to it or when it is to be stored for a long time, wipe it with a cloth moistened in a neutral detergent. Then wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. If you find any loose screws or other parts, tighten them with the appropriate tool.
CAUTION
Never use solvents like benzine, thinner or alcohol to clean the cabinet. They may deteriorate or discolor the coating, or distort the cabinet.
6.1.2
Cautions on storage
This section describes the precautions for long-term storage of the Signalling Tester. <Cautions on long-term storage> (1) Wipe off the dust, dirt and fingerprints from the Signalling Tester. (2) Never store the Signalling Tester in the following places: where the unit is subjected to the direct sunlight, or dust where high humidity causes condensation where active gas exists, or may oxidize the Signalling Tester where the temperature and humidity are outside of the recommended storage conditions <Recommended storage conditions> For long-term storage, we recommend the following environment: Temperature 0 to 30C 40 to 80% Humidity Small daily temperature and humidity fluctuations
6-2
6.2
Re-packing
6.2 Re-packing
When re-packing the Signalling Tester, use the packing materials that were used in the original packing. If you use other packing materials, pack as follows: (1) Wrap the Signalling Tester with a plastic bag, etc. (2) Prepare a cardboard box, wooden box, or aluminum case large enough to contain cushioning material around all sides of the Signalling Tester. (3) Put the Signalling Tester inside the container or carton with cushioning material on each side of the Signalling Tester to absorb impact during transportation and keep it from moving inside of the container. (4) Firmly seal the container or carton with packing string, adhesive tape, bands, etc.
6.3 Transportation
We recommend that you minimize the vibration of the Signalling Tester, and fulfill the recommended storage conditions described in Section 6.1.2 Cautions on storage.

C.3 Quantization Level of Voice Signal

When a voice signal is input/output through a handset, the quantization level of the voice signal depends on the full scale input/output of the modular jack and characteristics of the handset microphone and speaker. Calculation with the data given in C.1 Connector Type and Electric Specifications indicates the quantization level of the voice signal as follows: (1) Voice input Sin [dBSPL] input digital signal amplitude (rms): Sin 121 [dB] The digital signal amplitude is expressed as a ratio to the full scale. When 89 [dBSPL] voice is input, for example, the digital amplitude (rms) becomes 32 dB (103 [LSB] with 13 bits and sign bit). (2) Voice output Xout [dB] (rms) digital signal input Xout + 111 [dBSPL] The digital signal amplitude is expressed as a ratio to the full scale. When the digital signal amplitude 32 dB (103 [LSB] (rms) with 13 bits and sign bit) is input, for example, 79 [dBSPL] voice is output.
CAUTION
The values above were calculated from the handset specifications and have not been verified on actual operation of the unit.
C-4
C.4 Problems in Voice Connection with Mobile Station

The quantization level of voice for the Signalling Tester Voice Codec handset is not set according to any specifications. We adjusted the voice signal quantization level of speech input, setting the full scale of quantization to the maximum voice volume of the person tested. We also adjusted the voice signal quantization level of speech output so that the voice is output at an appropriate volume through the handset speaker when voice at an ordinary conversation-level volume is input through the handset microphone, and the digital data is looped back on the Voice Codec as it is. If the quantization level of the voice signal differs between a mobile station and the Signalling Tester, either the uplink or downlink voice volume heard is high, and the other low. Here is an example. Voice volume at ordinary conversation level is expressed as Styp [dBSPL]. If Styp [dBSPL] voice is input to the Signalling Tester through a handset, the calculation in C.2 shows the digital amplitude (rms) as follows: Styp 121 [dB] The digital amplitude (rms) is given as a ratio to the full scale. When the voice data is looped back on the Voice Codec, the calculation in C.2 shows the voice signal volume as follows: Styp 10 [dBSPL] Next, we consider when the Styp [dBSPL] voice is input through the mobile station microphone, and the digital amplitude (rms) is: Styp 100 [dB]. In contrast, we also consider the case that a mobile station is set to output the Styp [dBSPL] voice through the speaker when it receives the Styp 100 [dB] digital signal. If you have a conversation with this mobile station through the Signalling Tester handset, the following problem will occur: If you speak through the Signalling Tester handset at the ordinary conversation level Styp [dBSPL], the recipient will hear your voice through the mobile station speaker in Styp 21 [dBSPL] volume, a very low and hard-to-understand level. In contrast, if you speak through the of mobile station microphone at the ordinary conversation level of Styp [dBSPL], the recipient will hear your voice through the handset in Styp +11 [dBSPL] volume, a very high level.
C-5

As you may see from these examples, if the voice volume indicated in a digital value for a mobile station is larger than the Signalling Testers, the downlink speech will be heard at low volume and the uplink at high volume. On the other hand, if the voice volume indicated in a digital value for the mobile station is smaller than the Signalling Testers, the downward speech will be heard at high volume and the uplink at low volume.
C-6.
Appendix D Monitor Cable

Data analysis using a logic analyzer requires a monitor board and monitor cable. This section describes the connection between the Signalling Tester and a monitor board using a monitor cable.
D.1 Monitor Cable 20/50

J1006 monitor cable 20/50 branches off from [80-pin] connector into [20pin] connector and [50-pin] connector (see Fig. D.1-1 below). See Fig. D.1-2 for correspondence between pins on the monitor board and those of the [20-pin] connector, [50-pin] connector and [80-pin] connector.
[20 Pin] connector Connect to Signalling Tester Connect to G0091 MONITOR BOARD [80 Pin] connector [50 Pin] connector
Fig. D.1-1 Monitor Cable 20/50
1 to 20 pins of MONITOR BOARD correspond to 1 to 20 pins of half pitch pins. 21 to 70 pins of MONITOR BOARD correspond to 1 to 50 of half pitch [50 pin] connector. 71 to 80 pins of MONITOR BOARD are not used.
Fig. D.1-2 MONITOR BOARD

Appendix D Monitor Cable

Notes: 1. Note that signal waveforms should not be well organized when you obtain data using this cable and a monitor board. It is recommended, therefore, to use the monitor board with an termination resistor etc especially when obtaining data connecting the monitor board to logic analyzer or other instruments. 2. When the Signalling Tester is connected to this monitor board, it may not comply with the radiated interference specifications of European Standard EN61326.
