Note
Note
A power plug with protective ground connection is not sufficient for Nokia
MetroSite BTS. Grounding must have a fixed, non-removable connection.
Regulations issued by local authorities/legislation must be followed when
planning the grounding of a BTS site!
In general, grounding is planned as presented in the following:
• The grounding cable is connected with screws or with a nut to the
grounding point of the Nokia MetroSite GSM BTS, depending on which of
the two grounding point alternatives is chosen. All Nokia MetroSite GSM
BTSs are equipped with two grounding point alternatives: a cable clamp
and a grounding stud. The selection between the two alternatives must be
done according to local regulations. When grounding stud is used, the
grounding cable must be fitted with an appropriate lug.
• The minimum cross-section of the copper (Cu) grounding conductor is 16
mm2 (5 AWG) in outdoor installations. In indoor installations, the
minimum cross-section of the copper grounding conductor is 2.5 mm2(12
AWG)
• The maximum cross-section of the copper grounding conductor is 35 mm2
(2 AWG)
• The maximum value of ground resistance is 10 Ω
• The ground cable must be connected to a main grounding busbar
• The routing of the ground cable must be as direct as possible. Unnecessary
loops should be avoided
• The external antenna feeders must also be grounded, if the antennas are
exposed to lightning
A grounding cable can be ordered from Nokia.

WARNING
3.6 Mains power
The power switch on the power supply unit of the Nokia MetroSite GSM
BTS does not disconnect it from the power network (AC or DC), but leaves
it in a stand-by mode. The switch has two positions: ON and stand-by. A
separate main switch on the site is considered a disconnect device for safety
and service purposes.
Follow the national legislation when working with the power supply. The
Nokia MetroSite GSM BTS must be permanently wired to a disconnect
device (e.g. circuit breaker) in accordance with current local and national
wiring standards.
All ground connections must be secure and non-removable.
All power cabling must meet the requirements of the appropriate national
standard.
The Nokia MetroSite GSM BTS has three power supply options: 230 VAC, 110
VAC and 36/48/60 VDC. The permitted voltage fluctuation for the different
options is presented in Table 5.
It is recommended that the AC mains be protected with a lightning and transient
overvoltage protector (mains wire-in protector). This protection is not included in
the Nokia MetroSite GSM BTS.
3.6.1 Power consumption
The power consumption of the Nokia MetroSite GSM BTS is dependent on the
following factors:

• BTS configuration
• Ambient temperature
• Direction of the temperature change
The power consumption is higher when the ambient temperature is decreasing
and the heating power of the BTS is increasing. When the ambient temperature is
rising, the heating power is reducing. Consequently, the power consumption of
the Nokia MetroSite GSM BTS in a given temperature varies according to the
direction of temperature change. Figure 4 presents the power consumption values
in different ambient temperature for three BTS configurations.

3.7 Painting the BTS cover
If desired, the BTS cover can be painted to make it better blend into the
surrounding environment.
Nokia recommends that for painting the cover a primer-topcoat combination of
Beckers TD 130 primer (for priming) and Beckers TH 141 paint (for surface
painting) be used. Other paints suitable for polycarbonate surfaces may also be
used.
Do not use any paint that contains alkalis, esters, ketones, aromatic, chlorinated,
or fluorinated hydrocarbons, since these may damage the cover. Paint containing
these chemicals can only be used if approved by the manufacturer for painting
polycarbonate objects.
The selected paint must be UV and weather-resistant and suitable for
temperatures ranging from -40 °Cto+50°C (-40 °F to 122 °F). For environmental
conditions, refer to ETS 300 019-1-4:1992 class 4.1.
To paint the BTS cover:
1. Remove the BTS cover as instructed in Nokia MetroSite GSM BTS:
Maintenance.
2. Before painting, detach the cable cover and the cable cover support from
each other to prevent them from stucking to each other by paint and to
ensure that paint is applied evenly. The cover top can also be detached from
the cover by unscrewing the Torx T20 screws (see Figure 6).

3. Remove stains and dust from the surface of the cover with an alcoholic or
acidic wash, or wipe it clean with a piece of cloth moistened with water and
mild washing agent. Do not use washing agents that contain alkalis,
aromatic, chlorinated, or fluorinated hydrocarbons, esters or ketones.
4. Rinse with water to remove residuals of cleaning chemicals.
5. Dry the cover parts by blowing ionized air on them to remove electrostatic
charges and dust particles.
6. Place a support under the cover and the cover top so that you do not have
to touch the parts during painting.
7. Use a clamp or hook for holding the cable cover and the cable cover
support during painting. See Figure 7 for areas on which to place the clamp.

8. Spray paint over the outside surface of the cover. Spraying should be done
at room temperature with relative air humidity of 50-65%.
The maximum thickness of the paint should not exceed 100 µm.
9. Dry the parts either in an oven or let the paint dry at room temperature
according to the paint manufacturer’s drying instructions.
The temperature of the drying oven must not exceed 90 °C (194 °F).
10. After the paint is dry, attach the cover top to the cover. Tighten the screws
to 1.6 Nm (1.18 ft-lb).
