A Programming Instructions for the ETL600R4 Equipment

A.1 General
All RF channel settings, all settings of telephony- and teleoperation-ports, most settings of the
integrated teleprotection system NSD600 are performed with the configuration program HMI600.
Typically these data are configured off-line and stored as a file on a disk. All these settings are
loaded from a file – the ETL600 configuration file *.et6 – and downloaded to the equipment. The
download of hardware settings such as jumpers or the presence or absence of modules without
access to the TDM bus is just for documentation and the correctness of this information must be
verified in the course of this instruction.
The most important settings are the RF Tx and Rx carrier. A few settings have to be adjusted with
the equipment e.g. the Tx RF level. Most of these tuning, testing and adjustment procedures are
supported by HMI600.
First the hardware settings of the analogue passive modules, such as the Tx- and Rx-Filters must
be done. For these hardware settings, refer to the applicable instructions. All steps and
measurements have to be documented in the protocol starting with page A1 of this document and
in the separate document 1KHW002568 System Test Report ETL600R4.
Follow conscientiously and step-by-step this instruction and the equipment will work properly!

A.2 Create a configuration for the equipment using HMI600

Create a configuration for your equipment with HMI600. This is described in the instruction manual
1KHW002582, section 5, ‘Configuration and set-up’.
If a preconfigured file exists, open this file. Make sure, that you have opened the right file by
displaying the configuration text on screen (View / Display configuration) and check the entries of
‘Equipment identification’.

A.7 Check service keys

Depending on the desired services, an appropriate data key has to be installed on P4LT / P4LV /
P4LX and appropriate voice keys on the O4CV boards. Physically, the keys are circular button-like
devices called “iButtons” and have to be inserted into their sockets (also called “retainers”) on P4LT
/ P4LV / P4LX and O4CV.

A.7.1 P4LT / P4LV / P4LX data keys

Six different types of keys exist, identified by colored labels. Refer to the ETL600 instruction
manual 1KHW002582 at the end of chapter 11 for more information. The number of required
 Revision: Language: Page:

A EN 5 1KHW002609-EN

MOD600 and NSK600 modems decides about the color of the needed data key, which is displayed
in the configuration file (View / Display hardware settings only./ Equipment identification /
Needed data key on P4L<T/U/V/X>. Data keys with colors offering more modems than required
will work as well. This is shown in the following table:
Needed data key on Keys which will work as well as the needed
P4LT / P4LV / P4LX key
Blue Green Yellow Orange Red

Check if the data key mounted on the P4LT / P4LV / P4LX board is valid according to the table
above.
Please ask your local representative about the update procedure if the data key is not sufficient or
if no data key is installed on P4LT / P4LV / P4LX.
When the new data keys are available, proceed as described in the procedure “Replace data key”
below.

A.7.2 O4CV voice keys

Two different types of keys exist, identified by the numbers 2 or 4 corresponding to the maximum
number of compressed telephony channels that can be used on each O4CV board. Refer to the
ETL600 instruction manual 1KHW002582 at the end of chapter 11 for more information. The
needed voice key for each O4CV board is displayed in the configuration file (View / Display
configuration / Equipment identification / Needed voice key on O4CV) under the headings
O4CV CONFIGURATION at slot N... The 4 channel voice key works also if the needed voice key
is a 2 channel key. If several O4CV modules are used in an ETL600 terminal, at most one of them
can have a 2 channel key. The remaining ones must be equipped with 4 channel keys.
Check if the voice keys mounted on the O4CV boards are valid as given by the HMI600
configuration view.
Please ask your local representative about the update procedure if the voice key is not sufficient or
if no voice key is installed on one or more of the O4CV boards.
When the required voice keys are available, proceed as described in the procedure “Replace voice
key” below.

Replace data or voice key (if required)

The service personnel must follow the precautions for ESD protection while handling the modules.

ESD protection

Caution The modules in this equipment contain devices, which can be damaged by
ESD electrostatic discharges. Appropriate measures must be taken before
unpacking modules or withdrawing them from equipment racks. Essential
precautions to prevent ESD damage when handling or working on modules
are grounding straps for technical personnel and the provision of anti-static
workbenches. Modules may only be shipped either in their original packing
or installed in equipment racks.
 Revision: Language: Page:

A EN 6 1KHW002609-EN

Insertion and removal of plug-in modules

Caution Neither removing nor inserting of modules is permitted during power-up of

the equipment. Preceding to plug in and out of modules, the power supply
of the equipment has to be switched OFF.
There are two exceptions to this:
1. Rx filter P4RX:
It has to be removed and inserted while the equipment remains
powered when performing the Rx level adjustment procedure.
2. Redundant power supply module B5LD:
It can be removed or inserted while the equipment remains powered by
the other B5LD module in the rack.

1. Switch off the equipment.

2. Loosen the four mounting screws and pull out the P4LT/P4LV/P4LX
or O4CV module. In case of the O4CV module, remove the cover
plates by bending them slightly so that they can be drawn out of the
notches in the mounting bolts.
3. Removal of the installed data or voice key, if any:
Limit deflection of socket latches to just free the iButton edge from
retained state. Avoid applying excess force to latches. The socket is
shown in Figure 1.
4. Insertion of the new data or voice key:
Apply appropriate back pressure at the opposite side of the
P4LT/P4LV/P4LX or O4CV board before the data or voice key is
inserted into the socket.
Closely align the axis of the iButton and the socket. The socket then
latches the flange of the iButton. The socket is shown in Figure 1.
5. In case of the O4CV module, reinstall the cover plates. Insert the
P4LT/P4LV/P4LX or O4CV module back into the rack and tighten
the four mounting screws. Figure 1
6. Switch on the equipment.

B Testing Instructions for the ETL600 Equipment.

B.1 General
Most of the testing for the ETL600 system can be done with assistance of HMI600. For some
adjustments like Tx RF level, Rx RF level etc. the permissible limits are calculated by the HMI600
and displayed in the dialog boxes.
The pilot signal is QPSK modulated to accommodate both Signaling and Embedded Operations
Channel. As a result, the level of the pilot signal changes continuously so that its exact level cannot
be measured.
The Tx filter on E5TH and the Rx filter P4RX (if used) have to be tuned before testing.
An attenuator with 75 Ohm impedance and a minimum attenuation of 15 dB is inserted between
two terminals to simulate a power line. For testing, the attenuation between the two terminals is
chosen as follows:

Max. Equipment type Attenu- Switches of standard ‘80 Watt-

output ation attenuator’ (minimum = 15 dB)
power +3 dB +6 dB +10 dB +20 dB
(PEP)
50 W ETL600-050, 1 channel, no MOD600 31 dB x x
100 W ETL600-100, 1 channel, no MOD600 34 dB x x x
50 W ETL600-050, 2 channels, no MOD600 25 dB x
100 W ETL600-100, 2 channel, no MOD600 28 dB x x
50 W ETL600-050, 3 channels, no MOD600 21 dB x
100 W ETL600-100, 3 channels, no MOD600 24 dB x x
50 W ETL600-050, with MOD600 18 dB x
100 W ETL600-100, with MOD600 21 dB x

B.1.1 Visual checks before switching ON the equipment.

Check the wiring of protective earth to the equipment. Check, if a

DANGER protective earth wire of at least 25 mm2 has been connected visibly to
the earth bolt of the cubicle.

In case of battery supply: Check if the positive pole (+) of the battery is grounded. If it is, place an
earth jumper to the positive pole of the cubicle supply.

 Note: Now switch on the equipment.

B.2 Check power supply B5LD

Check the DC supply voltage and verify that the green LED on the front panel of the right and – if
any – of the left power supply module B5LD is/are lit.
There is no access to the internal DC voltages generated by B5LD. However, hardware alarms will
be generated if these voltages go outside their limits.

B.3 Connect to the equipment, download configuration and prepare for tuning &
testing
1. Start the HMI600 program, open the preconfigured file and connect to the equipment as
described in the instruction manual, 1KHW002582, chapter 4, section ‘Communication to
the ETL600’.
 Revision: Language: Page:

A EN 8 1KHW002609-EN

2. From the Equipment menu, click Download configuration. The keys are checked and
error messages appear if any of them is not sufficient. Compatibility checks are
performed to verify that the firmware versions in the equipment belong to the same
release as the HMI600. If not, an error message pops up. Depending on the message, an
earlier version of HMI600 must be used and/or the firmware of some modules must be
upgraded. The latter is described in the document 1KHW002589 Firmware Download for
ETL600.
3. If the download operation is possible, a message box appears informing that the link will
be cut off for a few seconds.
Click Yes
4. The Test configuration time dialog box has been opened.
Click OK.
5. HMI600 now compares the equipment identification from the file with the identification in
the equipment. If it is different, a warning message box appears.
Click OK. This starts the download configuration process.
6. A dialog box informs you, that the configuration has not been stored in the nonvolatile
flash EPROM and asks you if you want to do so.
Click Yes.
The configuration data are now stored in the flash EPROMs. This process needs some
seconds. Please wait until the color of the stop button in the toolbar changes from red to
grey. The actual status of the process is displayed in the status bar.
7. From the equipment menu, click Tuning & testing. This opens a dialog box, which
informs you that activating tests in the following dialog boxes may cause malfunctions of
the PLC-link.
8. Click OK and the Tuning & testing dialog box appears.

B.4 Change configuration, if necessary

In case configuration parameters have to be changed, refer to section 5 of the instruction manual,
chapter 'Configuration and Setup'.

B.5 Transmitter
The frequency in the APLC bands when converted in to the RF band will have an additional offset
of -150 Hz. This has been done to simplify the filtering by DSP. The frequency shift when
reconverted to the AF band will be restored.

B.5.1 Programming of Tx RF filter

The transmit filter on the module E5TH is programmed and tuned according to 1KHW002585. The
center frequency, bandwidth and associated jumper positions are supplied by HMI600.
In case of ETL600-100, the module E5TC is present, holding a second transmit filter. It must also
be tuned according to 1KHW002585.

B.5.2 Settings for RF hybrid on E5TH

The jumper settings depending on the presence or absence of the Rx filter are shown in the view
View / Display hardware settings only under the heading E5TH in rack P7LH at slot N54 or
E5TH in rack P7LQ at slot N54.

B.5.3 Tune Tx RF filter

The Tx filter(s) is/are tuned according to the ETL600R4 Tx filter tuning instructions 1KHW002585.

B.5.4 Adjust Tx RF level

The Tx RF level is adjusted with help of the HMI600 program. Two adjustment modes are available
in the Adjust Tx RF level dialog box under Equipment / Tuning & testing: default and manual.
The default mode allows fast and easy Tx RF level adjustment based on the filter settings used in
the equipment. The obtained setting accuracy is better than ± 0.2dB.
 Revision: Language: Page:

A EN 9 1KHW002609-EN

If the Tx RF level needs to be verified by external measurement equipment, the manual adjustment
mode can be used.
Default adjustment procedure:
1. Choose the Default adjustment mode at the top of the dialog box.
2. Click the button Download in order to download the default adjustment value for the
current filter settings.
3. Click the button Save & Close to store the downloaded adjustment value on the equipment
and quit the dialog.
Manual adjustment procedure:
1. Choose the Manual adjustment mode at the top of the dialog box.
2. Remove the remote equipment by disconnecting the coaxial cable from the RF LINE
socket at the E5TH front panel.
3. Connect a 75 Ohm termination resistor or attenuator dimensioned for ≥ 50 W (ETL600-
050) or ≥ 100 W (ETL600-100) to the RF LINE socket.
4. Click Download.
5. Measure the level at the RF LINE MONITOR socket on the E5TH front panel with a level
meter having 75 or 50 Ohm input impedance.

 Note: The tolerance of the level at the test socket RF LINE MONITOR is ± 0.2 dB. Thus, if
the level meter has a tolerance of ± X dB, the resulting tolerance for the adjusted
Tx level is ± (X + 0.2) dB.
Alternatively, measure the test tone level at the RF LINE socket via an attenuator
required in order not to overdrive the input of the level meter. In this case, the tolerance of
the attenuator must also be taken into account.
6. Adjust the value in the Tx RF level [dB] field, download it by clicking Download and
measure the test tone level again. Continue until the measurement corresponds to the
permissible value displayed in the dialog box.

B.5.5 Adjust Tx alarm level

The Tx alarm level threshold is adjusted with the help of HMI600, the LED(s) TX-LVL-AL and the
potentiometer(s) TX-LVL-AL ADJUST (R1805) in the rear of the backplane of the power
amplifier(s) P1LP. In case of ETL600-100, there are two such potentiometers, one on each P1LP
backplane, which both have to be tuned.
1. In the Tuning & testing dialog box, click Adjust Tx alarm level.
2. Click Activate Tx alarm level.
3. Turn the potentiometer(s) TX-LVL-AL ADJUST in the rear of the backplane(s) P1LP of
the rack P7LH, P7LP or P7LQ clockwise until the associated TX-LVL-AL LED(s) to the
right of the potentiometer(s) go(es) on.
4. Check that the Tx ALARM LED(s) on E5TH – and in case of ETL600-100 also on E5TC –
light(s). After the programmed delay time, the Hardware alarm on the front plate of
P4LT/P4LV/P4LX appears. The relay contacts on the cable V9OT Pin 2-3 are closed.
5. Turn the potentiometer(s) TX-LVL-AL ADJUST slowly anticlockwise until the TX-LVL-AL
LED(s) go(es) off.
6. Click OK. The Alarm LED(s) go(es) off and the contacts open after the programmed
delay.
Note: Exact measurement of the programmed delay times is not essential.

B.6 Receiver

B.6.1 Programming of Rx RF filter

The receive filter type P4RX is programmed, tuned and checked according to 1KHW002584. The
center frequency, bandwidth and associated jumper positions are supplied by HMI600.
 Revision: Language: Page:

A EN 10 1KHW002609-EN

B.6.2 Tune Rx RF filter

The tuning is done with help of the Rx filter tuning adapter P4LM in accordance with the document
1KHW002584 ‘Tuning of ETL600R4 Rx RF Filter P4RX’.

B.6.3 Adjust Rx RF level

The Rx RF level is adjusted using HMI600 program.
1. In the Tuning & testing dialog box click Adjust Rx RF level.
2. Follow the instructions given in the dialog box.

 Note: The number of adjustment steps depends on the presence of the Rx filter P4RX
(configured with Configuration / System / Equipment settings / Assemblies in
rack P7LC).

3. After all adjustment steps have been executed, click Close to close the dialog box.

B.6.4 Tune RF hybrid on E5TH

The goal of hybrid tuning is to increase the trans-hybrid loss, thereby reducing the amount of signal
from the local transmitter entering the local receiver. Tuning is done while the equipment is
energized and connected to the (artificial) line by setting the appropriate line balancing network
jumpers for the hybrid on the E5TH board. These jumpers can be accessed by plugging the E5TH
unit on the extender board P4EX.
Tuning is not required in the test field. If for some reasons – e.g. to get a customer approval – the
tuning is done in the test field, it has to be repeated during commissioning later on site when the
equipment is connected to the line.
If the hybrid is not tuned, the following default settings for the line balancing network must be used:
Jumpers R2, L17 and C3 inserted and the potentiometer R1101 set to mid position (indicated by
50).
Procedure for tuning the hybrid:
1. Insert the PCB extender type P4EX in place of the E5TH module into the rack and plug
E5TH on top of it.
2. Connect the artificial line to the RF LINE socket of the equipment.
3. Remove all line balancing jumpers R0 … R4, L0 … L17 and C0 … C17 on E5TH and set
the potentiometer R1101 to mid position (indicated by 50).
4. In the Equipment menu of HMI600, click Tuning & testing. This opens the Tuning &
testing dialog box.
5. Click Tune RF hybrid. This opens the Tune RF hybrid dialog box.
6. Click Start measurement and wait until the measured Rx RF level appears in the dialog
box.

 Note: It is possible that the operator phone of remote equipment is ringing during the
measurement. This has no effect on the measurement.

HMI600 selectively measures the level of the RF signal from the own transmitter.
In the following, this level is set to a minimum with the aid of the balancing network:
- resistance with one of the jumpers R0 … R4 and the potentiometer R1101,
- inductance with one of the jumpers L0 … L17,
- capacitance with one or several of the jumpers C1 to C17.
7. Reduce the measured Rx RF level by moving the R-jumper between R4, R3, R2, R1 and
R0. When the best jumper position has been found, turn potentiometer R1101 until a first
minimum is reached.
8. Search for a lower minimum by moving the L-jumper sequentially from L17 (largest
inductance) to L1 (smallest inductance). L17 produces the smallest inductive current and
L1 the largest. If jumper L17 does not produce any reduction, set jumper L0 which means
no inductive current.
When the best jumper position for the inductance has been found, turn potentiometer
R1101 until a minimum is reached.
 Revision: Language: Page:

A EN 11 1KHW002609-EN

 9.
Note: Only one L jumper (L0 to L17) may be inserted at any time

Search for a lower minimum by moving the C-jumper sequentially from C1 (smallest
capacitance) to C17 (largest capacitance). More than one jumper may be inserted in
parallel to increase the capacitance.
When the best jumper position for the capacitance has been found, turn potentiometer
R1101 until a minimum is reached.
Click Stop measurement and Cancel to close the dialog box.
10. Remove the extender board P4EX and reinsert the E5TH module into the rack.

 Note: If the coaxial cable (connection to the line) is removed or reconnected

during the test, a rattling sound of a few seconds duration caused by the
loop back relay on E5TH may occur. This happens only when E5TH is
plugged on top of P4EX and has no influence on the performance.

 Note: The transhybrid loss that has been achieved by tuning the hybrid is
equal to the increase of the measured RF level when the RF cable is
unplugged. If it is higher than 20 dB, the tuning can be considered as
successful and may be terminated.

B.6.5 Link alarm indication

Trigger the link alarm by interrupting the RF connection (disconnecting the RF line coaxial cable).
After the programmed delay time the link alarm relay on P4LT/V/X operates. The relay contacts,
terminals 5 and 6 at the cable V9OT, are closed. Now restore the RF connection. The Alarm LED’s
go OFF and the contacts will open after the programmed delay.

B.7 Equalization of APLC channels

Refer to 1KHL001494 ‘APLC Channel Equalization for ETL600’. The document is put into a short
instruction in sections B.7.1 and B.7.2.

B.7.1 Measure frequency response

It is assumed, that
- the RF tuning of the remote equipment is already finished. If it isn’t finished, tune the remote
equipment.
- the link works and all alarms are cleared.
Measure the frequency response as described in 1KHW001494 ‘APLC Channel equalization for
ETL600’:
1. Select Equipment / Commissioning and maintenance / Frequency response /
APLC channel 1, APLC channel 2 or APLC channel 3, respectively.
2. In the following message box click OK and wait until measurement is done. The dialog
box Select equalizer appears.

B.7.2 Select Equalizer

The Reference signal level input, listed in the configuration printout of the remote
equipment should be fed into AFx-IN of the remote equipment.
2. Determine expected output level of AFx-OUT of local equipment.
The Reference signal level output of AFx-OUT of the local equipment is the expected
output level.
3. Take the measurement with a selective level meter.

This method works with any configuration of AF ports, which are switched on.
 Revision: Language: Page:

A EN 18 1KHW002609-EN

The Reference signal level input, listed in the configuration printout of the remote
equipment should be fed into AFx-IN of the remote equipment.
2. Calculate expected output level of AFx-OUT of local equipment.
L(out ) local = L(in) remote − L( R el. Input Level ) remote + L( R el. Output Level ) local
3. Take the measurement with a selective level meter.

Example:
Applying the first method to the configuration given below, a sinus with –9.0 dBm is fed into remote
equipment. The tone is expected with –6.0 dBm at AFx-OUT of local equipment.
Applying the second method to the configuration given below, a sinus with –9.0 dBm is fed into
remote equipment. Calculating the expected output level at local equipment with the formula above
results to:
Lout = -9.0 dBm – (-4.00 dBr) + (-1.00 dBr)
The expected output level Lout is just as applying the first method –6.0 dBm.

The following tests must only be done if the operation mode ‘Pax 2-wire’ is configured at the local
equipment and the operation mode ‘Remote subscriber’ at the remote equipment.
1. Check the output level of Pax 2-wire interface:
Use coupling bridges similar to the ones shown in Figure 8. The resistor R should be
chosen to 500 Ohm, included the resistance of the two coils. If the coupling bridge has
polarity, check first polarity of the subscriber interface at the cable terminals of the remote
equipment and observe polarity of external voltage source.
2. Feed an 800 Hz tone with the configured level from remote side into remote equipment.
Take a measurement of the output level at the local equipment. It should be in ±5 dB
range of the configured output level of the local equipment.

B.15.7 Pax 4-wire, remote is Pax 4-wire

The following tests must only be done if the operation mode ‘Pax 4-wire’ is configured at both local
and remote equipment.
1. Toggling the M-WIRE at remote equipment, E-WIRE output should toggle simultaneously
at local equipment. Note: E-WIRE is a switching contact without inherent voltage source
and without polarity.
2. Check the output level of Pax 4-wire interface:
Activate M-WIRE at both equipments. If M-WIRE is configured as ‘inverted’, M-wire
contacts at the cable terminals must be opened, otherwise closed.
3. Feed an 800 Hz tone with the configured level from remote side into remote equipment.
Take a measurement of the output level at the local equipment. It should be in ±5 dB
range of the configured output level of the local equipment.

B.15.8 Pax 4-wire, remote is ‘Remote subscriber’

The following tests must only be done if the operation mode ‘Pax 4-wire’ is configured at the local
equipment and the operation mode ‘Remote subscriber’ at the remote equipment.
1. Toggling the hook contact of remote equipment, E-WIRE output should toggle
simultaneously at local equipment. Switching of hook contact can simulated by closing
the subscriber contacts at the cable terminal of the remote equipment. Note: E-WIRE is a
switching contact without inherent voltage source and without polarity.
2. Check the output level of Pax 4-wire interface:
Instead of subscriber, use coupling bridge similar to the one shown in Figure 7. The
resistor R should be chosen to 500 Ohm, included the resistance of the two coils. If the
coupling bridge has polarity, check first polarity of the subscriber interface at the cable
terminals.
3. Activate M-WIRE at local equipment. If M-WIRE is configured as ‘inverted’, M-wire
contacts at the cable terminals must be opened, otherwise closed.
4. Feed an 800 Hz tone with the configured level from remote side into remote equipment.
Take a measurement of the output level at the local equipment. It should be in ±5 dB
range of the configured output level of the local equipment.
