2.7 AISG Smart Bias Tees
The AISG smart bias tees (Figures 2-10a and 2-10b) are
designed to eliminate the long AISG data cable run from the
base to the top of a cell site tower by electronically injecting
(piggy-backing) power and control signals onto an existing
RF coaxial run. Each installation requires a pair (top and
bottom unit) of smart bias tees. The top unit is installed at
the top of the tower, below the Teletilt RET (remote electrical
tilt) devices. The bottom unit is installed at the base of the
tower.
Each unit is equipped with a grounding stud that requires
use of a 602299 grounding kit to provide additional lightning
protection.
ATBT series smart bias tees shown in Figure 2-10a are AISG
1.1 compatible; whereas, the ATBT-S series shown in Figure
2-10b are both AISG 1.1 and 2.0 compatible. Both smart bias
tee families are RoHS compliant.

2.8 Portable Antenna System Controllers
Andrew has two portable antenna system controllers. The
discontinued ATC200-LITE controller (Figure 2-11) con-
nects to the PC serial port over an RS-232 serial cable.
The ATC200-LITE-USB controller (Figure 2-12) connects to
either a USB or a serial port on the PC.
Both units serve as an interface between a local PC/laptop
and the ATM200 RET actuator/antenna system.
Both units also provide signal level conversion from RS–232
(used on a PC) to RS–485 (used in ATM200 actuators), as
well as power to the actuators that are attached to the anten-
nas.
LEDs on the front panel of these units indicate power and
data communication. The power and system status LEDs are
green when power is supplied to the RET system. The data
LED is green when sending data to the RET system and is
usually followed by a tinge of red when receiving data from
the RET system. Refer to Figures 2-11, 2-13, and Table 2-3
for LED assignments.
