1 Cable Network Transparency Unified System UMS Fault recognition, localisation and reporting

2 UMS Universal cable network and equipment monitoring cable networks and associated equipment used to be considered an isolated task. Modern management systems, however, require integration of the various monitoring tasks to make efficient quality assurance and service management feasible. LANCIER's Unified System integrates all services and incorporates flexible reporting and a TMN interface.

feasible. LANCIER's Unified System integrates all services and incorporates flexible reporting and a TMN interface.

3 The LANCIER UMS monitoring system permits permanent preventive monitoring, rapid reaction to faults, = no or only brief down times, and troubleshooting. UMS components The is the universal platform for all network and equipment monitoring tasks. It collects the parameters to be measured and evaluates the measured values as well according to the programmed thresholds. Alarms and condition information are always accessible via the central server over the network. The server includes the central Oracle TM database for all s and stores information and data for clients. /server communication uses the Internet protocol and can hence be via Internet or Intranet using standard browsers. The client displays the current measurement and network data along with their condition. Graphic display of fault sites with GIS coordinates and mapping is feasible.

4 Fiber Optic Network fiber optic cables keeps you abreast of their current condition. Environmental influences such as humidity penetrating the cables may harm transmission quality. Cracks, earth movements, building work and theft may cause complete breakdown. Transmission quality over the entire path is determined using attenuation and/or performance values for a reference fiber. Top quality sensor technology ensures rapid and precise fault determination. Use of OTDRs (Optical Time Domain Reflec tometers) makes precision location of faults feasible. Sensors and OTDRs attuned to the extant transmission wavelengths are used as the tasks involved require. Service transmission via the fibers isn't influenced by monitoring. The LANCIER fiber optic monitoring system allows you to monitor active and dark fibers, optical power, optical attenuation (loss), with reflectometers (OTDRs), and humidity penetration. with fault location Optical Switch OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) 4

6 Copper Cable Network Insulation and Loop Resistance In copper cable networks insulation and loop resistance of a representative measurement pair can be monitored. If humidity gets in resistance changes. The monitoring system detects this and advises of it. There are a variety of system options depending on the structure of the network to be monitored and the extant communication infrastructure. several cables The stand-alone MUX 101-IMS monitoring station can monitor up to ten cables. Signal and alarm output is via relay contacts. Adaptable interfaces permit integration of the MUX 101-IMS in the Unified System and remote control. of single cables The insulation sensor IsoTxA-Mk2 is a stand-alone monitoring device for single cables. Alarm output is via relay contacts. Adaptable interfaces permit integration of the IsoTxA-Mk2 in the Unified System via a and remote control.

7 Pressurisation and Humidity inside Sleeves Pressurisation Cable protected by pressurised air can be seamlessly monitored from the pressurisation system on. Immediately thereafter addressable flow sensors permanently monitor air consumption. Pressure sensors measure local cable pressure in cable sleeves and externally in distribution cabinets or manholes. On the basis of the measurement data cable faults and their location can be determined before they cause trouble. The collects the addressable sensor measurement data and evaluates measured values on the basis of individually programmable thresholds. The Unified System in association with geographic network data precisely locates faults. Pressurisation and Humidity Humidity inside Sleeves In jelly-filled cables sleeves are the weakest points. Humidity penetration causes corrosion of connections and insulation resistance worsens. Addressable humidity sensors measure relative humidity in sleeves and make fault locations precisely identifiable.

Access can be controlled using sensors with contacts and optical sensors used to monitor even directional short-circuit indicators in medium-voltage power grids. All sensor thresholds are freely programmable. The collects sensing point conditions and evaluates them using the individually programmable thresholds. The Unified System together with geographical network and inventory data shows - the sensing point condition graphically, - the position of sensing points in the network, and - their geographical positions.
