1 Introduction
This instruction describes the installation of a Remote Electrical Tilt Unit (RETU)
between an antenna with adjustable electrical tilt and an Antenna System
Controller (ASC), a Remote Radio Unit (RRU), or a RET Interface Unit (RIU).
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this instruction is to provide step by step instructions for the
installation of a RETU.
2 Prerequisites
The following general conditions must apply before performing this installation:
2.1 Documentation
Make sure that the following documents have been read and understood:
Make sure that the following documents are available during installation:
• If sectors are active at the site and radio equipment is transmitting, contact
the Operation and Maintenance Center (OMC) or Network Management
Center (NMC) for authority to start work. The site must be taken out of traffic
in a controlled way and power to the feeder system must be shut down.
The following applicable units must have the administrative state ‘‘locked’’:
• Transmitter/Receiver (TRX)
For information on how to shut down the power to the feeder system, see
Replacing a RETU.
3.1 Hardware

• Section 4.7 Testing the Antenna System on page 13, see WCDMA Antenna
System Test Instruction
• Section 4.9 Powering Up the Antenna System on page 15, see Replacing
a RETU
2. Unpack the RETU and check that the delivery is correct according to the
Site Installation Documentation.
1. Remove the plastic protection cover and the plastic ring from the antenna.
Use side cutting pliers and cut off the cord from the protection cover as
close to the antenna as possible. The cover and the ring will not be used
anymore in the installation. See Figure 1 on page 6.

KRY 121 62/1)
2. Insert the RETU in the steering slots, fasten and tighten by turning the 41
mm screw connector by hand. See Figure 2 on page 6.
Note: Do not block the antenna feeder connector, turn the RETU away
from the connector.

1. Connect the applicable cable to the RETU and tighten it firmly by hand.
2. Remove the protective cap from the ASC RETU connector using a
13 mm combination wrench.
3. Unpack the cold shrink tube and the threaded metal cable gland. See
Figure 4 on page 8 for details.
4. Holding the shrink tube, release a sufficient length of the plastic spiral
band to enable it to pass through the tube and leave enough to grasp at
the other end.
5. Pass the shrink tube over the cable with the end of the plastic band facing
away from the connector.
6. Pass the metal cable gland over the cable. See Figure 4 on page 8.
7. Connect the cable to the ASC and tighten it firmly by hand, see Figure 5
on page 9.
4.4.2 Connecting the RETU to ASC KRY 112 42/4, KRY 112 132/1, or
KRY 112 134/1
This section describes how to connect the RETU to the ASC KRY 112 42/4,
KRY 112 132/1, or KRY 112 134/1.

1. Connect the applicable cable to the RETU and tighten it firmly by hand.
2. Remove the protective cap from the ASC RETU connector using a
screwdriver.
3. Connect the cable to the ASC and tighten it to a torque of 0.4-0.6 Nm.

Note: Before sealing the connector, make sure it is properly tightened and
free from moisture.
To seal the connector on the RETU using the sealing set, perform the following
steps:
1. Make sure that the connector is clean and dry to avoid dirt and moisture
being trapped under the tape.
2. On the connector, start applying the self-fusing tape 50 mm below the edge
of the connector of the jumper cable. Varying the stretching of the tape,
wrap along the jumper onto the connector, overlapping each turn by 50 %.
Continue wrapping onto the connector chassis.

Applicable for KRY 121 62/1)
4. Make sure that there are no gaps in the insulation tape, and that the sealing
completely covers the connector.
1. Bend the cable close to the RETU connector on the ASC. The bending
radius of the cable must not be less than 20 mm.
2. Use a cable strap to fasten the cable to the antenna jumper. Ensure that
the cable leaves the shrink tube in a straight line, with no gap between the
cable and the shrink tube.
The cable is now forming a drip loop, see Figure 9 on page 15.

1. In the RBS Element Manager (EM) Equipment menu, select the applicable
sector and RETU. See Figure 10 on page 16.
3. Select Calibrate.
Calibrating the RETU tilts the antenna to the minimum and maximum tilt
end points. The tilt value is set to the previous setting.
4. Wait two minutes and check the EM alarm list. If an alarm appears, then
follow the procedure in the appropriate Alarm OPI.
5 Concluding Routines
• All connectors of the unit are correctly connected, and, if applicable, sealed
• Update the Site Installation Documentation if there have been any changes
in the configuration.
