S-6
Installation Manual
iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
Safety Precautions
3.6 Static Electricity
Caution:
Static electricity generated by the human body may damage the electrostatic-sensitive parts on the
circuit boards, such as large-scale integrated circuit (IC).
The grating generated betwe en human activities and the components is the
rootage for electrostatic charge accumulation. In dry climate, the electrostatic
charge carried by human body may go up to 30 kV, which will remain on the
human body for a rather long period of time. The operator’s contact with the
sensitive component and the resultant electric discharge will cause damage to
the component.
Before contacting/touching any equipment such as holding plug-in boards, circuit
boards and IC chips, put on the anti-static wrist strap with one end well grounded
so as to prevent sensitive parts from getting damaged by static electricity on the
human body.
Before operators touch the board or module, they should release the
electrostatic charge in their body. That is, before the operator touches a board or
a module, he or she must wear the anti-static grounded wrist strap. The
connecting line between the wrist and the grounding point should connect in
series with a resistance greater than 1 M¦¸ to protect people from being
accidentally shocked. The resistance value greater than 1 M, is rather low in
terms of electrostatic voltage discharging. The anti-static wrist strap should be
checked regularly. Using other cable to replace the cable of anti-static wrist strap
is strictly prohibited.
Electrostatic-sensitive board or module should not be in contact with the object
with static electricity or the object that may easily generate static electricity. For
instance, packaging bags, delivery boxes and conveyor belts made of insulating
materials will generate static electricity by themselves, and can cause
electrostatic charging when in contact with human body or the earth and might
thus bring forth damages.
Electrostatic-sensitive boards or modules can only contact quality discharging
materials, such as anti-static packing bags. The board in stock or in the course
of transportation should be packaged with anti-static packing bag.
Before the measurement device is connected to boards or modules, first
discharge its static electricity, that is, the measurement device should be
grounded first.
S-7
Installation Manual
iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
Safety Precautions
The single board or module should not be placed near strong DC magnetic field,
for instance, near the cathode ray tube of the oscilloscope. The safety distance
should be at least 10 cm.
Damage caused by static electricity is accumulative. If the damage is slight, the
component will not malfunction. However, as the number of damages increase,
the components may suddenly fail. The electrostatic discharging damage to the
component is of two types: obvious damage and hidden damage. Hidden
damage is not shown when the damage occurs, whereas the component may
become vulnerable and easily get damaged under the condition of over-voltage
and of high-temperature.
The correct way of wearing anti-static wrist strap is shown in Figure 1.

3.8 Leakage Current
Warning:
To avoid the occurrence of large leakage current, the equipment must be grounded before connecting to
the power supply.
Before connecting the AC input power supply, the operation and maintenance
personnel should first connect the protection-grounding terminal of the
equipment housing to the earth. The purpose of doing so is to avoid electric
shock on human body resulting from leakage current, which is usually caused by
the earth capacitance of the EMI wave filter at the AC power supply input
terminal of the equipment or the Y capacitance of the primary power supply.
3.9 Flammable Air Environment
Danger:
The equipment should not be placed in an environment where flammable, explosive air or smog exists.
No operation should be performed under such an environment.
The operation on any electronic equipment under such an environment will pose
absolute threat to the equipment & the operating personnel.

working requirements.
5.2 Definition of the Environment
The uppermost level limit of the environment that can be exposed to radio magnetic
radiation is of two kinds: one is "controlled environment" and the other is
"uncontrolled environment " with less radiation.
Controlled Environment
Controlled environment refers to a certain location where the personnel who enter the
area are aware of the potential threat of exposing themselves to the radio frequency
radiation environment. Generally, the personnel enter such areas for the profession
requirements and they get acquainted with this danger or they just pass by the areas
where possible radiation exists. The magnetic field level of the area is higher than
that of "uncontrolled environment" but no greater than that of "controlled environment"
listed in the table.
Uncontrolled Environment
"Uncontrolled environment" refers to a certain location where the personnel who enter
the area are not aware of the potential threat of exposing themselves to the radio
frequency radiation environment, and they cannot control the environment where they
are situated. This location may include living environment or working environment.

Figure 3-25 Installing the directional antenna on the tower side
I. Installation requirements
When installing the directional antenna on the tower, make sure the antenna is in
the protection range of lightning arrester on the tower. The antenna should stretch
out of the tower body for at least 1m.
Waterproof elbow must be made to the antenna jumper.
II. Installation procedure
1)
Determine the installation direction of the antenna according to the engineering
installation drawing.
2)
Fix the antenna onto the main supporting post. The fixing tightness should be right
enough for weight bearing and wind resistance. Looseness may cause loose
connection while too much tension may damage the antenna sheathing;
3)
Adjust the antenna azimuth angle: Determine the antenna azimuth angle with a
compass according to the engineering design documents. Normally, Starting from
the north clockwise, the area covered by the first antenna is sector 1. Sector 2 lies
in the clockwise 120° direction and sector 3 in the next clockwise 120° direction, as
shown in Figure 3-26. While adjusting the azimuth, turn the antenna azimuth
slightly till it satisfies the design index value with the azimuth error not greater than
5°.

Tighten up the lower fixing clip of the antenna till it cannot be moved by hand.
5)
Adjust the antenna pitch angle: For the directional antenna whose mounting hole
corresponds to its pitch angle, install it via its mounting hole directly. Make sure the
supporting post of its support is kept strictly perpendicular to the ground during the
installation. Adjust the pitch angles of other antennae in the following way:
Determine the antenna pitch angle using an inclinometer.
Turn the antenna slightly and adjust the pitch angle till it satisfies the engineering
design index value. Generally the error of the pitch angle should be Ÿ0.5°.
Tighten up the upper fixing clip of the antenna till it cannot be moved by hand;
Use the inclinometer in the way as shown in Figure 3-27 and Figure 3-28.

protection grounding bar directly. The following gives description of feeder grounding
points in different installation modes.
I. BTS outdoor installation mode
Within the range of 1m~2m under the antenna;
The front end connecting the BTS.
Caution:
1) When soft jumper is adopted for the feeder and the feeder is not longer than 5m, the shielding covering
of the feeder may be grounded at the front end connecting the BTS.
2) If the feeder is longer than 60m, feeder grounding clips should be applied in the middle of the feeder,
with the clip spacing of 20m.
II. BTS indoor installation with the outdoor feeder longer than 20m
Within the range of 1m~2m under the antenna;
Within 1m range of the mast or of where the feeder is led from the tower platform;
At the outer side of the feeder window where the feeder enters the equipment
room (connecting to outdoor PGND bar).

Others:
If the feeder is longer than 60m, feeder grounding clips should be applied in the
middle of the feeder, with the clip spacing of 20m.
If the feeder is led into the room after being routed for a stretch of distance on the
building-top, and the distance exceeds 20m, a feeder grounding clip should be
applied on building-top.
For the feeder that enters the room from the building-top along the wall, if a cabling
rack is used, the cabling rack should also be grounded.
Feeder grounding cable should be routed toward the BTS antenna and feeder port
along the antenna. The included angle between the feeder grounding cable and
the feeder should not be greater than 15°. The feeder grounding clip should be

Caution:
1) When soft jumper is adopted for the feeder and the feeder is not longer than 10m, the shielding covering
of the coaxial soft jumper may be grounded at two points, i.e., below the antenna and indoor.
2) When soft jumper is adopted for the feeder and the feeder is not longer than 5m, the shielding covering
of the coaxial soft jumper may be grounded at one point indoor.
3.7.6 Leading Feeder into Equipment Room
I. Feeder arrangement principle
There are 4 big holes in a 12-hole feeder window, and 3 small holes in each big
hole. One feeder can run through a small hole.
The feeders should be arranged in sequence (i.e. clockwise or counter-clockwise)
in the three small holes of the same big hole.
The arrangement of feeders in the feeder window should facilitate system
expansion. The original arrangement of feeders should not be changed during
system expansion. It is permitted to add feeders to the feeder window and change
the jumper connection on the cabinet top only.
The arrangement of feeders in the feeder window should facilitate the routing of
feeders on the cabling rack and the connection of feeders with the cabinet top. The
feeders should be parallel to each other without any cross.
The length of the feeder entering the feeder window should be 30cm~50cm. If
there is an indoor cabling rack, the feeder can be fixed with feeder clip. If not, the
feeder may be hanged in air.
Caution:
The minimum feeder curving radius should not be less than 20 times of the feeder diameter.
There should be no cross of the feeder when it is routed along the cabling rack and tower cabling ladder.
And there should be no crossing or overlapping of the feeder entering the equipment room. Therefore, it is
required to get an idea of the feeder routing prior to feeder distribution. It is best to draft the actual feeder
routing on paper to avoid rework due to feeder crossing.
II. Procedure
1)
Make waterproof elbow for the feeder at the outer side of the feeder window.

corresponding personnel inside the equipment room should guide the operation
so as to avoid damage to equipment in the room.
3)
Mount sealing gasket and sealing gland. Place the hole for filling in glue on the
sealing gland facing upward when mounting the sealing gland.
4)
Cut the feeders correctly according to the design requirements.
5)
Make the indoor feeder connector.
6)
Encapsulate the feeder window and the unused holes with adhesive tape, plaster
and glass cement, as shown in Figure 3-38.
Figure 3-38 Encapsulation treatment of the feeder window after feeder enters the equipment room
& Note:
If the feeder needs to run though the window glass, remove the glass first. Cut a corner of proper size of
the glass and then use rubber or adhesive tape to protect the edge, in order to avoid the feeder being cut.
Measures should be taken to prevent rain after the feeder runs through the glass, that is, seal the
connection between the glass and the feeder with glass cement.
3.7.7 Connecting Feeder and BTS
The feeder and BTS should be connected with 1/2 jumper. Feeder connector at BTS
side has already been connected during the installation of major equipment. Just
connect the feeder and jumper. In the case of outdoor installation of BTS, 3-layer
waterproof treatment should be performed in addition.

1.4 Installation Environment Check
During the project preparation, the office personnel shall perform "first check prior to
the installation" with survey engineers according to the engineering guidebook and
then the second check with the project supervisor and fill in the check items in
Installation Environment Checklist accordingly. The purpose is to check whether the
environment is suitable for the deployment.
1.5 Project Plan and Kickoff Coordination
1.5.1 Project Plan
After confirming the qualification of engineering environment, project supervisor should
contact the representative of the user, and draft and notify the user the initial plan list of
installation planning and progress according to the condition and preparation of the
project.
I. Project interface
In principle, Huawei's Project Recommendation and the terms and conditions related to
project interface after the negotiation between user and vendor serve as the basis of
operation. Below are the common principles:
The user is responsible for the preparation of equipment room environment;
The user is responsible for the coordination of the auxiliary equipment in the
equipment room;
The project i nterface is based on the contract and project files and is finalized by
means of the negotiation between both parties.
II. Project coordination and cooperation
Personnel
The project supervisor is the principal of the project. He is responsible for providing th e
list of the supervisors of this project and sub-projects and the way to contact them. It is
recommended that the user provide the list and contact information of its corresponding
technicians.
Tools
The vendor should in advance inform the user of the tools inconvenient for
transportation or tools the vendor cannot provide. And the user should provide these
tools.

1 Installation Preparations
III. Progress arrangement
The progress of the project should be arranged according to the preparation of the
project. A written plan should be worked out and submitted to the user for negotiation
and confirmation. The plan should include the following contents:
Delivery time and expected arrival time;
Date when engineers arrive the place of the user;
Progress arrangement of project installation and commissioning.
1.5.2 Kickoff Coordination
After arriving at the place of the user, the project supervisor should call a kick off
coordination meeting with the user. In this meeting, both parties should decide their
persons in charge, and achieve an agreement on installation period, project schedule
and cooperation matters.
1.6 U n p a c k i n g C h e c k
In the non-turnkey project, both the user and the project supervisor (engineer from
Huawei or cooperative party) are required to be present at the unpacking site. If one
party is absent at the unpacking site, another party who unpacks shall responsible for
any error occurring to the articles .
In the turnkey project, it is the project supervisor and the order management engineers,
who unpack, check & accept, hand over the articles, and make a confirmation with
signatures. The operation of Unpacking check and problem feed back in this case is
almost the same as that of the non-turn key project, except that the user does not need
to sign. The goods will be handed over to the user after passing the initial check of the
project.
The following will mainly deals with the former case.
1.6.1 Packi n g List Collation
Before unpacking, both parties should check if the packing cases are damaged. If so,
stop unpacking and contact the order management engineer at the local office of
Huawei, waiting for the handling. Meanwhile, check if the quantity of cases on the site
agrees with the Packing List, and if the place of delivery agrees with the actual
installation place. If there is any disagreement, the project supervisor should feed back
the Article Problem Feedback Form confirmed by the user with a signature to the order
management engineer at the local office within 3 days.
After all the above inspections are ok, unpack the cases to check and accept the
articles.

1 Installation Preparations
There are two kinds of packages: wooden cases and cartons. The unpacking tools
should be used accordingly.
& Note:
The Packing List is usually in the carton with red label.
1.6.2 Unpacking Inspection on Wooden Cases
Generally, the wooden case is used to pack heavy items, such as cabinet and feeder
clips, etc.
The packing materials for the cabinet include the wooden case, foamed wrap angles
and a plastic bag, as shown in Figure 1 -1. Better not unpack the package until moving it
to or near the equipment room (if enough space is available) so as to avoid damages to
the unpacked cabinet.

2.1.2 Introduction of Hardware Major Equipment
I. Rack
Rack is composed of backplane box, module guide rail, and back shell to bear various
modules.
Backplane box has been fixed on the back shell before delivery. Modules are
connected to the backplane box via connectors, on which waterproof measures have
been taken.
Module guide rail is also fixed on the back shell, along which modules like MAPM,
MBPM, MTRM, MFEM, and MPAM are installed from left to right in their corresponding
slots.
Back shell can be installed via installation accessories on walls, standing supports,
concrete poles, metal masts, towers, etc. That is, there are multiple choices when
determining the BTS site.
II. Modules
Modules are the core of BTS, including MAPM, MBPM, MTRM, MFEM and MPAM.
Each module is sealed for waterproof, and bottom leading-out mode is adopted for their
corresponding cables.
MPAM has been installed with heat-pipe radiator before delivery, so be carefule not to
damage the heat pipe during installation.

2.2.2 Example of Indoor Plinth Installation
Inside the equipment room, if BTS cannot be installed on the wall (e.g. structure pole,
hollow wall body, clapboard wall in the simplified equipment room), it can be installed
on the plinth. The position of the plinth should be as close to the wall as possible.

2.2.3 Example of Concrete Pole Installation
This installation mode applies to such environment as fields, villages, towns, road sides,
etc. to cover the locations like villages and towns. In this case, two poles must be used
in the installation no matter that the BTS to be installed is an omni BTS or a directional
one.
I. Facility requirements
The standard spacing between two poles should be 5m (not less than 3.5m at
least), and horizontal diversity distance between two antennae should be 6m (not
less than 5m at least). For an omni BTS, a metal mast should be used to meet the
2-6
Installation Manual
iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
Hardware Installation
2 Installing Cabinet Hardware
requirements for horizontal diversity between two antennae. For a directional BTS,
only a dual polarization antenna is required and the spacing between two poles
should be determined for the convenience of platform establishment.
If the platform is established 3m above the ground, for an O(1) BTS, the platform
should be strong enough to bear the load over 500kg; for an S(1/1/1) BTS, the
platform is required to bear the load over 1500kg.
Between two poles, two or more metal fixing beams should be installed. And at the
joints between beams and poles, the beams should be welded reliably with the
down leads of pole lightning arresters. Dot welding is not allowed. It is
recommended to install a metal fixing beam respectively on the platform and at the
place 2m above the platform. And install two (according to the type of BTS) 2m
metal holding supports between two beams by soldering so as to bear the
BTS3601C and other equipment. The diameter of each holding support is
60mm~114mm, and the spacing between them is 80cm.
Install a vertical cabling ladder (300mm wide) via the metal fixing beam between
two poles. The lower end of the ladder should be 1.2m away from the platform.
Connect the fixing beams, on which the cabling ladder is fixed, to the flat steel (for
lightning protection and grounding) by soldering. Dot welding is not allowed.
The antenna support is made of steel pipe with the diameter 60mm~114mm. The
omni antenna should be 1m away from the antenna support horizontally. In the
case of a directional antenna, its holding support may remain unextended.

Figure 2-5 Installing BTS3601C on two poles
III. Note
To facilitate the introduction of power cables and trunk cables, first determine the
metal holding support on which the BTS3601C is to be installed. IAFB or AC
lightning protection box can be installed below the BTS3601C. The IABB can be
fixed on the platform directly. If more than 2 battery boxes are needed, a platform
should be established below the platform.
Equipment like the BTS3601C, IAFB, UPS, etc. should be installed between two
poles via metal parts. It is not allowed to directly install them on poles.
When feeders are used, the antenna jumpers should be bound on the crosspieces
of poles via cable ties. For the convenience of feeder connector preparation and
maintenance, it is prohibited to lay feeders transversely. The feeders should be
routed along the sides of the cabling rack.
If the poles are not long enough, it is recommended to connect the antenna and
the BTS3601C via jumper. And the jumper should be bound at the sides of the
cabling rack and on the crosspieces of poles via cable ties. Both ends of the
jumper should be grounded.
Lightning arresters should be respectively installed on two poles, and the antenna
of the BTS3601C should be in the protection range of the two arresters (pitch
2-8
Installation Manual
iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
Hardware Installation
2 Installing Cabinet Hardware
angle 30°C between them), as shown in Figure 2-5. The 40mm%4mm
hot-gavanlizing flat steel should be used as the downleads of arresters.
The external shielding layer of the BTS3601C antenna and feeder should be
grounded at the bottom of the antenna and at the front end beofore they are
connected to the BTS3601C. The grounding cable should be connected to the
cabling ladder or other metal grounding parts. The grounding cable should be
made of yellow-green (or black) plastic insulation copper wire with the core
diameter not less than 6mm2.
Grounding bar can be installed on the metal holding support, or fixing beam, or
platform directly and reliable electric connection should be achieved among the
grounding bar and the metal parts aforementioned. A dedicated grounding
downlead should be installed on the grounding bar and be connected to the
counterpoise.
Power cables and trunk cables should not be winded or bound on the arresters or
their downleads, instead, these cables should be kept as far as possible from the
downleads of arresters. Power cables and signal cables should be distributed
horizontally and the spacing between any two cables should be at least 5cm. And
they should not be routed vertically and crossly.
2.2.4 Example of Metal Mast Installation on Building-top
Such installation of BTS3601C is applied for the coverage of villages and towns.
I. Facility requirements
For an omni BTS, 3 masts should be used (one is used to install the lightning
arrester and the other two to install two monopole omni antennae. The spacing
between the latter two masts should be over 4.5m. Two masts are generally used
for a directional BTS, as dual polarization antenna is adopted for the BTS.
The length of the mast should be determined by the height of the BTS3601C
antenna. However, based on the conditions on building-top, the mast length
should not be more than 8m.
The mast should be made of steel pipe with sufficient intensity and the dialmeter
from 60mm to 114mm. Each mast must be secured by three steep ropes at least.
A cabling rack should be installed between the masts on which the antenna is
fixed. Its height should be lower than 1.2m.
The PGND bar should be fixed to the AC lightning protection box or at the bottom
of the IAFB mast and close to the building wall. Following are three methods to
connect the PGND cables:
a) If the equipment room is located in the building, lead the grounding cable from
the building-top to the grounding bar in the equipment room;
b) Connect the grounding cable to the counterpoise at the building bottom;
2-9

IV. Note
First determine the mast on which the BTS3601C is to be installed during the
planning.
For antenna jumper and feeder routed vertically, bind them on the metal masts
with the spacing of 30cm via black cable ties; for antenna feeder routed along the
cabling rack, fix them with the spacing of 1m or 2m via feeder clips.
Power cables from BTS3601C to ODU3601C should be protected by metal tubes,
and fibers for cascading by currgated tube. Power cables and fibers routed
vertically should be bound on the metal masts via black cable ties, and those
routed horizontally should be bound to the cabling rack.
Power cables should be distributed along the outer side of the cabling rack, and far
away from the fibers and feeders.
2.2.5 Example of Tower Installation
This mode is applied to such locations as fields, villages, towns, and roadsides to cover
villages, roads, etc. In this mode, the hoisting of BTS3601C is involved.
2-11
Installation Manual
iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
Hardware Installation
2 Installing Cabinet Hardware
I. Facility requirements
The support on which the directional antenna is installed should be extended out
of the platform for at least 0.5m. Proper support length of the omni antenna should
be determined to meet the requirements for the horizontal diversity distance (over
4.5m) between two antennae.
The diameter of the holding support on which the antenna is installed should be
60mm~114mm. The length (generally, omni antenna: 1m; directional antenna: 3m)
of it should be determined according to the antenna type and sizes.
A square platform(3m % 3m) should be established 3m above the ground with the
bearer capability more than 500kg. And a sun-shading shed should be established
3m above the platform.
A 2m holding support should be fixed to the tower body vertically above the
platform so as to install BTS3601C, IAFB, etc. The number of supports is
determined by the number of BTS3601Cs, and the diameter of each support
should be 60mm~114mm.

III. Note
When hoisting the BTS3601C, try to avoid any collision between BTS3601C and
the tower.
Distribute feeders along one side of the tower evenly and tidily. And all feeders
should be fixed via feeder dual-clips.
Install AC lightning protection box and grounding busbar on one support, and the
BTS3601C on the other. If the BTS3601C is cascaded with other BTS3601Cs,
install them on other supports.
Install PGND bar on the tower directly. And its location should be close (the PGND
cable length should not be more than 1m) to AC lightning protection box. It should
have its dedicated grounding downlead (made of 40mm % 4mm hot-gavanlizing
flat steel). PGND bar and its downlead should be connected via 35mm2
yellow-green plastic insulation copper wire or welded directly. Neither the bar nor
the downlead should be insulated from the tower body.
The external shielding layer of BTS3601C coaxial feeder should be grounded on
tower top and grounded before the feeder is connected to the BTS3601C. The
grounding cable should be connected to the tower body. The grounding cable
should be made of yellow-green (or black) plastic insulation copper wire with the
core diameter not less than 6mm2.
Power cables and signal cables of BTS3601C should not be winded or bound on
the tower. They should be cabled as horizontally as possible.

the right direction, as vibrations may lead to damaged floor and the hole not straight.
2) The hole depth should be the length of the expansion bolt sleeve plus the drill bit. The hole depths of
respective holes should be consistent. Before measuring the hole depth, remove the dust inside the hole
and measure the hole depth. Remove the dust with a vacuum cleaner before drilling.
3) If the floor is too hard and smooth to settle the drill bit, punch a pit with a chisel to help positioning the
hole.
4)
Unfix the spring washer, nut and plain washer. Put the expansion bolt into the hole
and knock directly on the bolt with a hammer (such as nail hammer) until the bolt is
completely driven into the floor. Then, put the nut on the bolt and tighten it until the
bolt is expanded slightly so as to avoid it getting loose.

Check whether the voltage of battery groups are over 72V with a multimeter. If Yes,
it indicates the installation is OK. Otherwise, errors exist in the installation. Check
the polarities of the batteries and make sure they are OK. If the errors still cannot
be located and the voltage is lower than 72V, it indicates errors exist in the battery
cables or batteries themselves. Please contact Huawei engineers.
& Note:
When the IABB is used without being connected to a UPS, only two batteries are used generally. The
corresponding internal connection is shown in Figure 2-45. After the connection, it is still required to check
the voltage (24V or not) of the battery group via a multimeter, so as to ensure the connection is correct.

2.5 Installing Cables
During the installation of BTS3601C major equipment, the cables (excluding feeders)
at the BTS3601C side have been distributed. Following is to introduce the cable
connections between major equipment and auxiliary equipment, and those among
auxiliary equipment in terms of varied networking modes. The installation of feeders is
covered in Chapter 3.

2.5.1 Cable Connection Requirements
I. For trunk cables
1)
Gists for indoor installation
Trunk cables should not be cross-connected with power cable and RF jumper.
When trunk cables are distributed along iron objects and poles, they must be
protected by currgated cabling trough. The trough should be secured onto the wall
with wall fixing clips. And the cables should be distributed horizontally and straight.
If the turns of cables are unavoidable, the minimum angles at the turns should not
be smaller than 120°.
2)
Trunk cables must be labeled after connection. The label appearance and filling
format is shown in Figure 2-48. Please strictly follow the format for the
convenience of future maintenance.
1) Trunk cable label
2) E1 No.
3) Row No.
4) Slot No. (0~1)
5) Subrack No.
6) Row No.
7) Line No.
8) E1 No. (on DDF)
9) Column No.
10) Column No.
Figure 2-48 Appearance and filling format for 75W trunk cable labels
3)
Gists for outdoor installation
If the transmission equipment is located on the same platform with the BTS3601C,
transmission cables must be protected by currgated tubes, which should be fixed
with black ties. And cables should be distributed horizontally and straight, and
smoothly via circular arcs at the turns.
If transmission equipment does not share the same platform with the BTS3601C,
the transmission cable between them need to be distributed in air. So double
shielded cable should be adopted with both ends of the external cable grounded
and connected to the grounding cable at the BTS3601C side, then to the
2-48
Installation Manual
iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
Hardware Installation
2 Installing Cabinet Hardware
grounding busbar. If no double shielded cable is avaialble, the transmission cables
must wear the 50m-long metal tubes. And both ends of the tube should be
grounded.
Trunk cable should be labeled after the distribution.
II. For power cables
1)
Gists for indoor installation
Power cables should not be cross-connected or in parallel with signal cables.
Cables distributed on the wall must be protected by PVC cabling trough, which
should be fixed on the wall with wall fixing clips. And cables should be distributed
horizontally and straight. Even if turns are unavoidable, the minimum angle at
each turn should not be smaller than 120°.
Power cables should be labeled after the connection. Figure 2-49 shows the
appearance of a power cable label.
Figure 2-49 Power cable label appearance
2)
Gists for outdoor installation
It is strongly prohibited to tie AC power cable on the iron objects and then lead it
into BTS3601C. Instead, the cable should be first connected to porcelain insulator,
then to BTS3601C.
Power cables distributed along the iron object and pole must be protected by
currgated tubes, as well as the transmission cables. The tubes should be fixed
with black ties. Cables should be distributed as horizontally and straight as
possible. If turns of cables are unavoidable, the turns should be be made smoothly
via circular arcs.
III. For grounding cables
As the requirements for grounding cable connections are comparatively complicated.
Following is to describe them in terms of varied installation modes.
1)
Installing BTS3601C on tower
The grounding of BTS3601C system and tower lightning protection system must
share the same grounding body.
When the BTS3601C is close to the transformer for power distribution (straight
distance less than 30m), the counterpoise of the BTS3601C system should be
connected to that of the transformer and form a unified counterpoise.
2-49
Installation Manual
iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
Hardware Installation
2 Installing Cabinet Hardware
When an independent grounding busbar is adopted for the BTS3601C, it should
be installed on the tower directly without any insulation processing. The grounding
busbar of the BTS3601C should have the dedicated grounding downlead made of
40%4mm hot-gavanlizing flat steel. The PGND bar should be connected or welded
to the grounding downlead via 35mm2 yellow-green plastic insulation copper core
wire. The downlead should not be insulated from the tower body.
2)
Installing BTS3601C on poles
The PGND of BTS3601C system should share the same grounding body with the
lightning protection grounding of poles.
When the BTS3601C is close to the transformer for power distribution (straight
distance less than 30m), the counterpoise of the BTS3601C system should be
connected to that of the transformer so as to form a unified counterpoise.
The overlapped parts of the metal fixing beam (between the two poles) and the
downlead of the lightning arrester should be soldered together reliably. Various
equipment is installed on the metal holding support between fixing beams (the
support is soldered on the beams). The mechnical parts of all equipment should
contact the metal holding support directly without any insulation processing.
Full-length welding should be adopted here, instead of dot welding, as the latter is
unreliable.
The overlapped parts between the metal fixing parts of the platform and the
downleads of the two lightning arresters should be reliably welded together. Or,
instead, a 40%4mm hot-galvanizing flat steel should be installed on the platform.
The two ends of the steel should be welded to the bench and the middle part of the
steel to the downleads of arresters. If the platform and the downleads of arresters
have not be welded together when the concrete pole is set up, connect them via
35mm2 yellow-green protection grounding cable and the grounding clip that
connects the flat steel to the OT. Full-length welding should be adopted here,
instead of dot welding, as the latter is unreliable.
Cabling ladder should be installed and fixed via metal fixing beam between two
poles for antenna feeders. Good electric connection should be achieved between
the cabling ladder and the fixing beam. Meanwhile, the overlapped parts of the
fixing beam and the downlead of the lightning arrester should be welded together.
BTS3601C grounding busbar should be installed directly on metal holding support
or platform without any insulation processing. A dedicated grounding downlead
(made of 40%4mm hot-galvanizing flat steel) should be prepared for the grounding
busbar. BTS3601C grounding busbar should be connected to the grounding
downlead via 35mm2 yellow-green plastic insulation copper wire or be welded with
it. And the downlead should not be insulated from various metal parts between the
two poles.
Installing BTS3601C on metal mast of building-top
The PGND of BTS3601C system should share the same grounding body with the
lightning protection grounding of the metal mast on building-top.
2-50
Installation Manual
iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
Hardware Installation
2 Installing Cabinet Hardware
If the building containing the BTS3601C is close (straight distance less than 30m)
to the transformer for power distribution, the counterpoise of the building should be
connected to that of the transformer and form a unified counterpoise.
BTS3601C grounding busbar should be installed together with the BTS3601C
directly on the metal mast without any insulation processing. At the same time, a
grounding cable should be led from the metal mast to the BTS3601C grounding
busbar, be fixed via bolts or be welded onto the metal mast. It should be made of
yellow-green plastic insulation copper wire with the core diameter not less than
16mm2. Or, instead, a piece of 40%4mm hot-galvanizing flat steel should be
welded onto the mast and the wire hole should be reserved on the other end of the
steel, so as to connect grounding cable to the BTS3601C grounding busbar.
If grounding bar or grounding point is available in the building-top or inside the
building (e.g. the PGND bar of the communication euipment room), the downlead
of the BTS3601C grounding busbar should be connected directly to the grounding
bar available on building-top or inside the building. The grounding downlead
should be made of yellow-green plastic insulation copper wire with the core
diameter not less than 35mm2.
If no grounding point is available inside the building, the downlead of the
BTS3601C grounding busbar should be led down to the building bottom and
connected to the counterpoise of the building. The downlead should be made of
40%4mm hot-galvanizing flat steel or yellow-green plastic insulation copper wire
with the core diameter not less than 35mm2.
3)
Installing BTS3601C indoors
If the equipment room is close (straight distance less than 30m) to the transformer
for power distribution, the counterpoise of the equipment room should be
connected to that of the transformer so as to form a unified counterpoise.
If PGND bar is available inside the equipment room, the grounding busbar of the
BTS3601C system should be connected via PGND cable to the grounding bar of
the equipment room directly. The grounding cable should be made of 35mm2
yellow-green plastic insulation copper wire.
If PGND bar is available in other rooms (e.g. communication equipment room in
the building) instead of the equipment room, the downlead of the BTS3601C
grounding busbar should be connected to the grounding bar in such room. The
grounding downlead should be made of yellow-green plastic insulation copper
wire with the core diameter not less than 35mm2. If no groundign point is available
in the whole building, the downlead may be led down to the bottom of the building
then to the counterpoise of the building. The grounding downlead should be made
of yellow-green plastic insulation copper wire with the core diameter not less than
35mm2.

& Note:
In terms of its discharging currents, the AC lightning protection box can be classified into three types: 20kA,
40kA and 100kA. All boxes mentioned in the chapter are of 20kA.
Three cables are used for the external connection of the AC lightning protection box:
1)
External power supply input cable
It is a twin-core cable (L, N). When AC power is led into the box via this cable, the live
wire is connected to the "L" end and the neutral wire to the "N" end.
The cable is provided by user and the ends of the cable can be distinguished via a
multimeter, i.e. the one with lower voltage is "N" end, and the higher one is "L" end.
2)
Cable connecting the box to the BTS3601C
It is a complete three-core cable (L, N, and PE). The port at BTS3601C side is a round
waterproof connector which has been installed during the instllation of major equipment.
The output interface of the lightning protection box is an air switch. When connecting

this cable, directly take off the cover of the cable and insert the copper-core wire into
the switch.
In terms of its appearance, if the cable comprises three wires, black one, white one and
yellow-green one, the black is L end, the white is N end, and the last one is PGND wire.
If it is made of coffee, blue, and yellow-green wires, the coffee wire is the L, the blue
wire is the N, and the last one is PGND wire.
Figure 2-51 shows the connection.

3)
Grounding cable of the AC lightning protection box
Inside the box, there is a grounding bar. If the AC power cable carries PGND cable (PE
wire), the PGND cable should be grounded together with the PGND of the BTS3601C
system. The PE wire should be connected directly to the grounding bar of the box.
AC lightning protection box should have a PGND, and the PGND cable should be made
of yellow-green plastic insulation copper wire with the core diameter not less than
16mm2. The length of the PGND cable connecting to the BTS3601C grounding busbar
should be less than 1m.
Caution:
1) Generally, the only power cable provided by Huawei together with the BTS3601C is 3m. Users are
required to prepare the extra cable if it is not long enough.
2) The external AC power cable to the BTS3601C should be connected to the AC lightning protection box.
It is not allowed to connect the external power cable to the terminal for power distribution in the IAFB first,
then to the AC lightning protection box.
3) Above principles for cable connection are also applicable to the IAFB (with AC lightning protection box
built-in).

In this plan, the cable connection of AC lightning protection box is completely the same
as that of the IABB. Following is to describe the cable connection between the IABB
and the BTS3601C.
1)
Cable connection between IABB and BTS3601C
Two cables are led out from the IABB. One is of +24V and red, and the other is of GND
and black. Two cables are connected to the DC power cable of the BTS3601C through
a commutator. The +24V cable is interconnected to the red one of the BTS3601C DC
power cable through the red plug of the commutator; and the blcak GND cable is
interconnected to the black one of the BTS3601C power cable through the black pulg of
the commutator. After their interconnections, three types of tapes should be used for
the waterproof of the connections. The detailed processing is available in Section 2.3.6.
2)
Grounding of the IABB
The battery box is generally installed on the platform. In this case, the metal shell of the
box should be grounded, and the PGND wire should be connected to the BTS3601C
grounding busbar from the PGND terminal. The wire should be made of yellow-green
plastic insulation copper wire with the core diameter not less than 16mm2. The batteries
inside the box should not be grounded.

Following are their detailed cable connections:
1)
Cable connection between UPS and IABB
UPS connects to the IABB via two cables, i.e. one is negative cable and the other is
positive cable. Each cable has one of its ends equipped with a four-core plug to
connect to the UPS. On plugs, labels are attached to tell the positive end (+) and
negative end (-). The other end needs to be prepared at site: There are two big OT
connectors and heat-shrink tubes; cut the available cable (10m long) between the UPS
and the IABB into the piece (with proper length according to the site conditions), then
make the OT connector with a crimping piler and then connect the terminal to th e
connector at the battery. This cable should be led through the inlet at the bottom of the
battery box and in. The cable length should be minimized for the sake of lightning
protection.
Caution:
1) The cables must be connected to the UPS and the battery box correctly with their polarities in
correspondence with thoe at the plugs of the UPS and the battery box. Any incorrect connection will result
in the damage of the UPS and batteries.
2) Relabel the cut cable correctly at once if the original label has been damaged when cuting the cable.
2)
Cable connection among IAFB, BTS3601C and UPS
It is required to connect cables among IAFB, BTS3601C and UPS according to labels
on them, the correspondence shown in Figure 2-57 and Figure 2-58, and the
correspondence between labels and cables described in Table 2-4.
