4 Introduction

The Monitoring and Control System is an end to end solution for the rf-system in the broadcast

towers. With the Monitoring and Control System the operator can detect and prevent

malfunctions, increase the safety and manage third party situation (outsourcing, colocation):

With the Monitoring system, the broadcast tower operator is able to:

 do preventive maintenance and prevent from partial/total system failures

 minimize SLA violation caused by “slow death” effects (like water in the system,

mechanical abrasion)

 safe time and cost for failure detection because of direct failure localisation

 safe time and costs to repair because the correct spare material is on site

 safe fixed costs because of central dispatching and optimized maintenance team

assignment

 Increase the security of broadcast towers (prevent from fire and successive failure

damage)

 Offer a monitoring service to partner, operators or broadcasters

 Prove SLA compliance

 Manage third party or outsourced services by detecting power level and measure return

loss / VSWR

 Increase the safety of the RF-system by controlling the transmitters with

4.1 Purpose of the Document

This user manual helps the operator to install and configure the Data Logger and Tower Meter

as part of the commissioning activity, look up the monitoring results (Dashboard and trend

curves) and manage the alarms.

The Data Logger/Tower Meter (DL/PDL) connects to the outdoor Junction Box (JB 3.x) with a

hybrid cable. The hybrid connector Han-Brid connects to the hybrid cable, see chapter 8. The

indoor Junction Box (JB 4.x) is connected with a standard Sub-D 9 pole cable. Each JB can be

operated in a daisy chain mode.

Before starting any installation actions, we ask the user to read carefully the safety instructions

in chapter 6. These instructions need to be strictly followed.

4.2 Scope

This manual describes the installation of the Data Logger (DL) and Tower Meter (PDL) at the

transmitter location in the Infrastructure room of the tower facility.

After the installation of the Sensor or RF-/Temp. -Detectors and Junction Box and the related

cabling in the tower, the DL/PDL is put into operation.

This manual explains the system configuration, alarm management and dashboard functionality

(incl. trend curves).

4.3 General Information

 The Monitoring System products are only delivered after they passed successfully a

functional test.

 DAC System supplies all material required for a complete functional system: products,

cables and hybrid connectors; except the Internet connection and Ethernet cable from

the DL/PDL to the Ethernet switch.

 In case the Monitoring System is installed in conjunction with a tower enhancement (new

frequencies), the system can be preinstalled, tested and commissioned at the antenna

supplier site.

 Retrofit applications: In case of retrofit, the installation time is in average 1h/sensor for

the complete system (incl. cabling, installation of JB and DL/PDL).

 In case of tower enhancements, the sensors are already mounted at the antennas or the

power splitter and shipped together.

 The configuration of the system can be preconfigured in the DL/PDL before the system

is shipped.

 The DL/PDL requires an Ethernet/IP connection to connect either to the DL/PDL directly

or for the communication with the Analytics-SW. If no Ethernet connection is available a

mobile data connection via GSM can be used. The GSM module can be ordered

optionally. Before the installation the Ethernet connection should be organized within the

broadcast operator network or a SIM card has to be ordered in time.

 The Analytics-SW is a one-time installation for the whole network. The installation has to

be prepared with the IT department of the broadcast operator, to clarify question

concerning the installations, firewalls, etc.

4.4 Quality Control

The quality control concept of DAC System has 4 levels:

1. General quality control systems by suppliers of the components

2. Supplier production quality control procedure

3. Supplier product testing

4. DAC System functional test on PO (purchase order)

 The DAC System products are produced in Switzerland and Italy by companies with

quality certificates acc. to the ISO standard.

 Each product is tested during the manufacturing process.

 The DAC System performs a functional test before delivery the total system.

With these measures, DAC System warrants a very high-quality standard and total quality

control.
