Introduction
The BTS emits RF radiation (radiation hazard). Operators have to follow the related local
regulations when erecting the BTS.
Operators of BTSs must also follow the related local regulations when erecting the BTS.
Limits and Guidelines on Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields
There are a number of international regulations, standards and guidelines for exposure to
electromagnetic fields. Several European countries have adopted the recommendation of the
council of the European Union. It was released on July 12, 1999 focusing on the harmful
effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields (1999/519/EC). The recommendation is based on
the guideline published by the ICNIRP.
Table 2-1 gives a comparison among regulations and reference levels applied in different
countries.

Reference levels are provided for exposure assessment, that is to determine whether the basic
limit of restriction on exposure of humans to electromagnetic fields is exceeded. The basic
restriction on exposure to electromagnetic fields is based on established health effects and
biological considerations.
Location of Base Station Antennas
Base station antennas, the source of the radiation, are usually mounted:
z On freestanding towers, with a height up to 30 m, or
z On a tower on the top of buildings, or
z On rare occasion, to the side of the building.
Generally, the height of the antenna position does not fall below 10 m. The power usually
forms a horizontal main beam and is slightly tilted downward. The remaining power forms
into the weaker beams on both sides of the main beam. The main beam, however, does not
reach ground level until the distance from the antenna position is around 50–200 m.
The highest level of emission would be expected in close vicinity of the antenna and in line of
sight to the antenna.
Exclusion Zones
The requirements for exclusion zones are as follows:
z Antenna location should be designed so that the public cannot access the area where the
RF radiation exceeds the levels as described earlier.
z If areas, where the RF radiation exceeds the prescribed level, are accessible to the
workers, make sure that workers know where these areas are, and that they can power off
(or shut down) the transmitters before entering these areas. Such areas may not exist; but
if they do, they will be confined to areas within 10 m of the antennas.
z Each exclusion zone should be defined by a physical barrier and by a recognizable sign
warning the public or workers.
Guidelines on Arranging Antenna Sites
The guidelines on arranging the antenna sites are as follows:
z For roof-mounted antennas, raise the antennas above the height of the persons, who may
have to work in the rooftop.
z For roof-mounted antennas, keep the transmitter antennas away from the areas where
people are most likely to be, such as roof access points, telephone service points, and
HVAC device.
2 Safety Information RRU3841 Compliance and Safety Manual
2-8 Huawei Technologies Proprietary Issue 01 (2009-08-24)
z For roof-mounted directional antennas, place the antennas near the periphery, and do not
make the antennas face to the building.
z Consider the trade-off between large aperture antennas (lower maximum RF) and small
aperture antennas (lower visual impact).
z Pay special attention to keep higher-power antennas away from accessible areas.
z Keep the antennas in a site that is far away, though this may contradict the local zone
requirements.
z Exercise extra caution when designing co-location sites, that is, where multiple antennas
owned by different companies are located. This applies particularly to sites that include
high-power broadcast (FM/TV) antennas. Local zone often favors co-location, but
co-location may cause safety problems.
z Take special precautions for antenna sites near hospital and schools.
Location of Base Transceiver Station
The base transceiver station (BTS) is shielded from RF radiation hazards. The device has been
tested to comply with the radioactive spurious emission requirements of EN 301 502. These
limits fall below the limits for RF radiation hazard. Therefore, the BTS does not cause danger
to the public and workers under normal operation condition. However, it is still possible that
because of imperfect antenna cables or other faults the limits set out above can be exceeded.
z BTS sites shall not be accessible to the public. Only authorized and trained workers
should access sites or rooms.
z Doors of the site or room shall be clearly marked. For example, mark a sign warning the
workers that inside the site or room where the RF radiation might exceed limits for
radiation exposure.
z BTS sites shall be regularly monitored and inspected after installation.
Prediction of the Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields
The section provides a theoretical approach to calculate possible exposure to electromagnetic
radiation around a BTS antenna. Precise statements are possible either with measurements or
complex calculations considering the complexity of the environment, such as soil conditions,
nearby buildings and other obstacles. The complexity may cause reflections and deflection,
scattering of electromagnetic fields.
The maximum output power (given in EIRP) of a BTS is usually limited by license conditions
of the network operator.
RRU3841 supports the maximum output power of 120 W.
A rough estimation of the expected exposure in power flux density on a given point can be
made with the following equation:

So, considering a maximum antenna gain of 13.8 dBi (GdB) and the maximum allowed power
flux density of 10 W/m2 (S), the distance (r) should be more than 5.1 m as safety distance.
2.4.2 Laser
The laser hazard level of this device is Class 1.
When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look at the optical fiber outlet directly
with unaided eyes.
General Laser Information
Laser transceivers or transmitters are used in the optical transmission system and associated
test tools. The wavelength of the laser is between 780 nm and 1600 nm. Because the laser is
transmitted through the optical fiber, it has very high power density and is invisible to human
eyes. When a beam of light enters the eye, the retina may be damaged.
Laser of wavelengths used in telecommunications can cause thermal damage to the retina.
Lasers used in lightwave systems have a larger beam divergence, typically 10 to 20 degrees.
Viewing an un-terminated fiber or damaged fiber with the unaided eye at distances greater
than 150 mm (6 inches) will normally not cause eye injury. However, damage may occur if an
optical tool such as a microscope, magnifying glass or eye loupe is used to view the energized
fiber end.
In its normal operating mode, a lightwave system is totally enclosed and presents no risk of
eye injury. Additional safety is achieved by an automatic laser shut-down (ALS) of the system.
The ALS, however, can be applied for bi-directional transmission only. If the receiver side
does not detect the laser from the transmission side, it will give the transmission side a signal.
Upon receiving the signal, the ALS will shut down the laser emission within 100 ms.
Laser Safety Guidelines
Read the following guidelines to avoid laser radiation:
z Read the instructions before installing, operating and maintaining the device. Ignoring
the instructions can cause exposure to dangerous laser radiation.
z Wear a pair of eye-protective glasses when you are handling lasers or fibers.
z All the operation shall be performed by personnel who have completed the approved
training courses.
2 Safety Information RRU3841 Compliance and Safety Manual
2-10 Huawei Technologies Proprietary Issue 01 (2009-08-24)
z Make sure that the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiber
connectors.
z Before opening the front door of an optical transmission system, make sure that you are
not exposed to laser radiation.
z Do not look at the end of an exposed fiber or an open connector when you are not sure
whether the optical source is switched off or not.
z Use an optical power meter to check and ensure that the optical source is switched off by
measuring the optical power.
z Do not use an optical tool such as a microscope, a magnifying glass or an eye loupe to
view the optical connector or fiber.
Handling Fibers
Read the instructions before handling fibers.
z Cutting and splicing fibers must be performed by the trained personnel only.
z Before cutting or splicing a fiber, ensure the fiber is disconnected from the optical source.
After disconnecting the fiber, use protecting caps to protect all the optical connectors.
2.5 Working at Heights
When working at heights, be careful to prevent objects from falling.
When working at heights, shall comply with the following requirements.
z The personnel who work at heights must be trained.
z The operating machines and tools shall be carried and handled safely to avoid falling.
z Safety protection measures, such as wearing a helmet and a safety belt, shall be taken.
z In cold regions, wear worm clothes when performing high-altitude operation.
z All lifting appliances must be thoroughly checked before the work is started.
2.5.1 Weight Lifting
Do not access the areas under the jib arm and the goods in suspension when lifting weight.
z Ensure the operators have completed the related training and are qualified.
z Check the weight lifting tools and confirm that the tools are in good condition.
z Lift the weight only when the weight lifting tools are firmly fixed onto the
weight-bearing object or the wall.
