1 Safety1-6 HuaweiProprietary and ConfidentialCopyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Issue (02)When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to or look at the optical fiber outlet directlywith unprotected eyes.General Laser InformationLaser transceivers or transmitters are used in optical transmission systems and associated testtools. The wavelength of the laser is between 780 nm and 1600 nm. The laser transmittedthrough optical fibers has very high power density and is invisible to human eyes. A beam oflight causes damage to the retina.Laser of wavelengths used in telecommunications causes thermal damage to the retina.Lasers used in lightwave systems have a larger beam divergence, typically 10 to 20 degrees.Looking at an un-terminated fiber or damaged fiber with unprotected eyes at a distancegreater than 150 mm (6 inches) does not cause eye injury. Eye injury, however, may be causedif an optical tool such as a microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to view theenergized fiber end.A lightwave system in normal operating mode is totally enclosed and presents no risk of eyeinjury. The automatic laser shutdown (ALS) feature of the lightwave system also ensuressafety. The ALS, however, can be applied to bi-directional transmission only. If the receiverside does not detect the laser from the transmitter side, it sends the transmitter side a signal.Upon receiving the signal, the ALS shuts down the laser emission within 100 ms.Safety GuidelinesFollow the following guidelines to avoid laser radiation:Read the instructions before installing, operating, and maintaining the device. Ignoringthe instructions can cause exposure to dangerous laser radiation.Wear a pair of eye-protective glasses when you are handling lasers or fibers.Only qualified personnel are allowed to perform laser-related operations.Make sure that the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiberconnectors.Before opening the front door of an optical transmission system, make sure that you arenot exposed to laser radiation.Do not look at the end of an exposed fiber or an open connector when you are not surewhether the optical source is switched off or not.Use an optical power meter to check that the optical source is switched off and verifythat it is off by measuring the optical power.Do not use an optical tool such as a microscope, a magnifying glass, or an eye loupe toview the optical connector or fiber.Handling FibersRead the instructions before handling fibers:Only trained and qualified personnel can cut or splice fibers.

Do not drop the cablesdirectly from the vehicle.1.3 Electromagnetic Field ExposureIntroductionThe Base Transceiver Station (BTS) emits Radio Frequency (RF) radiation. Follow the localsafety regulations when installing and operating the BTS to avoid radiation hazard.Guidelines on Limiting Exposure to Electromagnetic FieldsThere are a number of international regulations, standards, and guidelines for exposure toelectromagnetic fields. Some European countries have adopted the recommendation of thecouncil of the European Union (1999/519/EC), released on July 12, 1999, focusing on thehazards of exposure to electromagnetic fields. The recommendation is based on the guidelinepublished by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).Location of Base Station AntennasBase station antennas, the source of the radiation, are usually mounted:On freestanding towers, with a height up to 30 mOn a tower on the top of buildingsTo the side of buildings, on rare occasionsGenerally, the antenna cannot be located in a position lower than 10 m. The energy usuallyforms a horizontal main beam and is slightly tilted downwards. The remaining energy formsinto weaker beams on both sides of the main beam. The main beam, however, does not reachthe ground if the antenna is around 50–200 m away from the ground.The highest level of emission would be expected in close vicinity of the antenna and in line ofsight to the antenna.Exclusion ZonesThe requirements for exclusion zones are as follows:The antenna should be properly located to prevent the public from accessing the areawhere the RF radiation exceeds the previously mentioned limits.
1 SafetyIssue (02) HuaweiProprietary and ConfidentialCopyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 1-13If areas with excessive RF radiation are accessible to the operation and maintenance(O&M) personnel, ensure that they know the source of radiation and can power off orshut down the transmitters before entering high radiation areas. In addition, such areasmust be confined within a distance of 10 m from the antennas.Each exclusion zone should be defined by a physical barrier and by a recognizable signwarning the public or O&M personnel.Guidelines on Choosing Antenna SitesThe guidelines on choosing the antenna sites are as follows:For roof-mounted antennas, raise the antennas above the height of the personnel whomay have to work on the rooftop.For roof-mounted antennas, keep the transmitter antennas away from the areas accessibleto the public, such as roof access points, telephone service points, and HVAC devices.For roof-mounted directional antennas, place the antennas near the periphery, and do notmake the antennas face the building.Consider the trade-off between large aperture antennas (lower maximum RF) and smallaperture antennas (lower visual impact).Keep higher-power antennas away from accessible areas.Keep the antennas in a site that is far away from urban areas, though this may contradictthe coverage area requirements.Exercise extra caution when designing co-location sites, that is, antennas owned bydifferent companies are located in the same site or are co-sited. This applies particularlyto sites that include high-power broadcast (FM/TV) antennas. Local zone often favorsco-location, but co-location may cause safety problems.Take special precautions for antenna sites near hospital and schools.Location of BTSThe BTS is shielded from RF radiation hazards. The device has been tested to comply withthe radioactive spurious emission requirements of international standards or local regulations.Therefore, the BTS under normal operating conditions does not cause danger to the public andO&M engineers. However, the limits for RF radiation might be exceeded due to faultyantenna cables or for other causes.BTS sites shall not be accessible to the public. Only authorized and trained personnel canaccess BTS sites or equipment rooms.A sign of excessive RF radiation must be present on the doors of the sites or equipmentrooms to warn the personnel inside the site or equipment room of excessive RF radiation.BTS sites must be regularly monitored and inspected after installation.Prediction of the Exposure to Electromagnetic FieldsThis section provides a theoretical approach to calculate possible exposure to electromagneticradiation around a BTS antenna. Precise statements are possible either with measurements orcomplex calculations considering the complexity of the environment, such as soil conditions,nearby buildings and other obstacles. The complexity may cause reflection, deflection, andscattering of electromagnetic fields.The maximum output power (given in EIRP) of a BTS is usually limited by license conditionsof the network operator.
1 Safety1-14 HuaweiProprietary and ConfidentialCopyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Issue (02)A rough estimation of the expected exposure in power flux density on a given point can bemade with the following equation:S = (P(W) x Gnumeric)/(4 x r²(m) x )Where,P = Maximum output power at antenna port of the BTS in WGnumeric = Numeric gain (see below)r = Distance between the antenna and the point of exposure in metersFor the calculation of the Gnumeric,Gnumeric = 10GdB/10GdB = Gantenna(dB) – Bcable(dB) – Bvertical-attenutation(dB) – Bhorizontal-attenuation(dB)B = attenuation in dB
