NOTICE

ESD hazard

Semiconductor elements can be damaged by static discharges.

The following rules must be complied with when handling any module containing

semiconductor components:

•Wear conductive or antistatic work clothes (for example, coat made of 100% cotton).

•Wear grounded ESD wrist strap.

•Wear shoes with conductive soles.

•Leave the modules in their original packaging until ready for use.

•Make sure there is no difference in potential between yourself, the workplace, and the

package before removing, unpacking, or packing a module.

•Hold the module only by the grip without touching the connection pins, tracks, or

components.

•Place modules removed from the equipment on a conductive surface.

•Test or handle the module only with grounded tools on grounded equipment.

•Handle defective modules exactly like new ones to avoid causing further damage.

DANGER

Cabinet lifting hazard!

When lifting cabinets, incorrect or improperly installed eyebolts will fail endangering

personnel to bodily injury and destroying the equipment.

Avoid using the wrong eyebolts by following these guideline:

•If a ½- inch eyebolt threads easily and fully into a lifting nut on the top of the cabinet,

then use the ½- inch eyebolts.

•If not, check the threads for 12 mm eyebolts. The 12 mm eyebolt should thread all the

way down without binding, until it bottoms out.

•A 12-mm eyebolt is too small for a ½-inch lifting nut, but will not hand thread all the

way into the ½-inch nut unless forced. It will cross thread if forced, and may pull out

when hoisting, presenting a serious danger. Do NOT force 12-mm eyebolts into

½-inch lifting nuts. Doing so will damage the threads of the lifting nuts.

•A ½-inch eyebolt will thread less than half a thread into a 12-mm lifting nut. Do NOT

force ½-inch eyebolts into 12-mm lifting nuts. Doing so will damage the threads of

the lifting nuts.

Antenna Remote Electronic Tilt (RET) — FID 13019.36

General description

FID-13019.36 introduces a Remote Radio Head (RRH) with an associated RET/ALD

controller that operates the RET.

The RET consists of an actuator motor with supporting control electronics. The RET

adjusts the antenna down-tilt angle by electrically changing the antenna phase angle. By

altering the phase of the antenna signal, the RET also tilts the antenna beam.. This results

in decreased main, side and backward lobes. This overcomes the shortcomings of

mechanical tilt antennas, where the whole antenna is physically tilted. This system moves

the backward lobe in upward direction and distorts the side-lobe patterns.

AISG interface on RRH

The RRHs are equipped with an Antenna Interface Standards Group (AISG) power and

signaling interface connector that supports third party Antenna Remote Electronic Tilt

(RET) equipment. The PCS RRH 4x and 800 MHz RRH 2x are hardware ready to

support the third party RET.

Mounting options

Purpose

This topic describes the mounting options for 9927 Distributed Base Station Outdoor

Cabinet.

Structural requirements

Floor loading, roof loading, and foundations must be considered during site preparation.

In some cases, the cell site equipment will not rest directly on the concrete pad, floor, or

rooftop. In those cases, the cell equipment will need to be supported by an intermediate

structure that is fastened directly to the mounting surface. The cabinets must be supported

along all four edges. The support structure must be designed in compliance with BOCA

national building codes and all other applicable codes.

If the cabinets are elevated more than 152.4 mm (6 inches) above the floor surface, it is

recommended that a platform be placed under the cabinets to provide a safe and

convenient work surface for technicians. The customer may use a custom-designed

platform and will be responsible for supplying the 12 mm (1/2 inch.) bolt size hardware.

A platform bolt-down kit is available from Alcatel-Lucent.

Concrete pad requirements

If cabinets will be installed on a concrete pad, the concrete pad must be supplied as part

of site preparation and must meet the following requirements:

•Minimum pressure = 175 kg/cm2(2500 psi)

•Minimum thickness = 114 mm (4.5 inches)

•The surface of the concrete pad must comply with national and local building codes.

•The concrete pad must be able to support the maximum weight of the cabinets.

•The concrete pad must be able to allow drilling of up to 100 mm anchor holes to

secure the cabinets to the pad.

•The concrete pad must be level and the total variation of the top flat surface must be

±1/4 inch.

Rooftop requirements

The following requirements must be met when cabinets are installed on the roof of a

building:

•The building must comply with Building Officials and Code Administrators (BOCA)

building codes.

•Additional support structure is required.

non-powered state for an extended period of time.

This section describes how to properly store RRHs that have been delivered to an

installation site but have not been yet installed. The main concern with non-powered

cabinets is condensation inside the cabinet, which can result in corrosion or electrical

shorts. The location and length of storage time determine the severity of the problem.

These guidelines include prevention and drying steps.

Moisture problem prevention

To prevent moisture from collecting inside non-powered RRHs that are in storage, all

openings and connectors must be tightly sealed. The units should also be covered with a

waterproof tarp. The tarp should be sealed with duct tape. A desiccant packet should be

placed under the tarp to absorb moisture. The amount of desiccant is related to storage

time and to size of the unit. A visual check should be made to check for condensation

after uncovering the tarp.

Additional storage requirements

After performing the procedures above, ensure that the following steps are taken:

•The cabinet must be properly grounded.

•RF cables should not be connected to the RRH.

•Any connectors must be sealed with watertight plugs.

•All holes must be plugged with watertight plugs.

Grounding requirements

General requirements

The 9927 Distributed Base Station Outdoor Cabinet must be grounded by means of an

integrated (multipoint) grounding system. The equipment is susceptible to lightning

surges because it is associated with towers and antennas. It is therefore imperative that the

cell site be properly grounded and that a low impedance path to earth be provided. The

grounding conductors must be as straight and short as possible. No sharp bends or loops

are permitted for grounding conductors.

NOTICE

Equipment Warranty

The equipment warranty can be voided if the guidelines in the National Electrical Code

(NFPA 70), the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 (CSA C22.1), or the local code in effect,

as well as the Standard for Installation of Lighting Protection Systems (NFPA 780, latest

edition), and Grounding and Lightning Protection Guidelines for Alcatel-Lucent Network

Wireless System Cell Sites, 401-200-115 are not followed.

Surge protection requirements

General surge protection requirements

Commercial AC power and T1/E1 facilities are susceptible to lightning surges and must

be properly protected. An appropriate surge protection device must be installed at the

service entry point and be connected directly to the grounding electrode system.

The GPS antenna coaxial cables are also susceptible to lightning surges and must be

protected.

As part of site preparation, a surge protection device must be installed between each

antenna coaxial cable and jumper cable, approximately 1 meter (3 ft.) away from the

equipment. They can be obtained from Alcatel-Lucent (KS24577, L-3A for GPS and

KS24577, L-4A for RF), or an Alcatel-Lucent-approved equivalent can be used.

The surge protectors must be bonded to a nearby ground bus bar that is connected directly

to the grounding electrode system at two points.

Grounding electrode system

Grounding electrode system requirements

9927 Distributed Base Station Outdoor Cabinet sites must be equipped with a grounding

electrode system (that is, buried ring ground, copper clad rod, electrolytic rods, metallic

water pipe, etc.). The cell site grounding, including all cabinets and antenna cable shields,

must be bonded to the grounding electrode system.

The grounding electrode system shall be installed as part of site preparation with a

sufficient number of pigtails. Electrically conductive materials in the vicinity that are

likely to become energized must be connected together and to the grounding electrode

system in a manner that establishes an effective ground-fault current path.

Buried ground conductors must be, at a minimum, 33.6 mm2(2 AWG) bare, solid, tinned

copper wire. Exterior ground conductors must be, at a minimum, 33.6 mm2(2 AWG)

either solid, bare, tinned copper or stranded, insulated (outdoor insulation to be

sunlight-resistant) copper cable.

Exothermic weld

Exothermic weld is recommended for grounding connections where practical. All

below-grade connections must be exothermically welded. Compression type, two-hole

(0.75-inch center) lugs or double crimp “C” taps are acceptable for above-ground

connections. The contact area where connections are made shall be prepared to a bare

bright finish, and be coated with an anti-oxidation material before connections are made.

Important! All grounding system material (cable, connectors, buses, etc.) must be of

high quality materials that resist deterioration and require little or no maintenance.

Connect T1/E1 cables and User Alarm cables to NIU

The T1/E1 and User Alarm facilities must be in place prior to installation of the 9927

Distributed Base Station Outdoor Cabinet. The service provider usually supplies a carbon

or gas tube protector for the T1/E1 facility. The 9927 Distributed Base Station Outdoor

Cabinet is already equipped with Listed primary surge protection. If required, a Balun

Block must also be installed to balance the impedance of the coaxial cable with the

impedance of the twisted-wire pairs at the Network Interface Unit (NIU).

The required twisted-pair cable must be supplied and connected to the T1/E1 facility at

the NIU, as part of site preparation. Sufficient cable length must be coiled to allow for

future connection to the Enhanced Facility Interface Module (EFIM) inside the 9927

Distributed Base Station Outdoor Cabinet. The appropriate number of T1/E1 cables must

be available at the site prior to installation.

Important! In the United States, refer to Article 800 of the National Electrical Code,

NFPA 70, for selection and installation of the primary protector. In Canada, refer to

Section 60 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, CSA C22.1 for selection and

installation of the primary protector.

For international applications, refer to ITU K.11, “Principles of Protection Against

Over-voltages and Over-currents.”

Important! Unused or spare T1/E1 cables at the NIU must not be looped back

towards the 9927 Distributed Base Station Outdoor Cabinet while the cabinet is in

operation.

The twisted-pair cable must be installed in a dry location with minimal humidity. The

installation must not be performed in extremely cold temperatures [-15 °C (5 °F) or less]

(see “Minimum installation temperatures” (p. 5-4)).

It is recommended that the T1/E1 cable shield be bonded at the end that connects to the

NIU.

Install rigid NIU conduit and flexible T1/E1 conduit

This topic describes the conduits required for T1/E1 and User Alarm cables. T1/E1 and

User Alarm cables are routed through the conduits that are already in place for the 9927

Distributed Base Station cabinet.

Rigid NIU conduit is required to bring T1/E1 and User Alarm cables to the site. It is the

customer's responsibility to provide rigid conduit and all required connectors and fittings.

The customer must also install these in site preparation.

The recommendations for NIU conduit are as follows:

•The rigid NIU conduit must be installed from the NIU to the 9927 Distributed Base

Station Outdoor Cabinet.

•Use PVC conduit instead of rigid NIU conduit if it is to be buried. Use metal conduit

if it is to be exposed. The NIU end of the conduit must be bonded if it is metallic.

Flexible T1/E1 conduit is also required. It is the responsibility of the customer to provide

flexible conduit and all required connectors and fittings, and to hold them for the installer.

See “Conduit requirements” (p. 5-7) for specifications for the required conduits.

Route the T1/E1 and User Alarm cables through the conduits

After the T1/E1 and User Alarm cables have been connected to the NIU, and the conduits

have been installed, the T1/E1 and User Alarm cables must be routed through the NIU

conduit, and coiled approximately 6 meters (20 ft.) at the end of the conduit.

To prevent damage to the twisted-pair cable inside the conduit, the conduit end must be

properly protected against the environment, rodents, and other interferences. This can be

done by stuffing the twisted-pair cable into the conduit, and capping the end of the

conduit.

Lifting and moving cabinets

Purpose

Cabinets are usually shipped to the customer via truck and are delivered to the installation

site. During installation, it may be necessary to lift the cabinet to move it to a new

location. This section describes how to safely lift the cabinets. Use this information as

you perform the lifting procedures.

WARNING

Equipment damage

A dolly with straps can damage the front air filter cover and the rear muffler cover of the

9927 cabinet if too much tension is applied to the straps.

When a dolly with straps is used to move the 9927 Distributed Base Station Outdoor

Cabinet, adjust the straps and the tension so that the air filter cover and the rear muffler

cover are not damaged by the straps.

Lifting machinery

To lift the cabinet, do one of the following:

•Use a forklift with forks that are at least 4 feet long to lift a cabinet attached to a pallet

from the bottom.

•Install lifting eyebolts on the top of the cabinet, and use a derrick and slings to lift the

cabinet from its top.

Safety precautions for using lifting machinery

WARNING

Personnel injury or equipment damage

Cabinets are too heavy to move without appropriate lifting devices.

Derrick equipment or a forklift must be used to lift the cabinet. Do not attempt to move

the cabinet manually, or remove it from the pallet manually.

Comply with the following guidelines when using lifting machinery:

•Only operators who are specifically trained and meet company requirements should

be permitted to operate derrick or forklift equipment.

•All persons working with derricks or forklifts must wear standard safety headgear,

footwear, eye protection, and insulated gloves (if required).

Issue 1 March 2012

•Do not operate a derrick until both stabilizers are extended and firmly supported. Do

not extend stabilizers after a load is suspended from the derrick.

•While raising the derrick from the stowed position, be alert for overhead obstructions,

such as power lines, that may interfere.

•At all times, keep bystanders away from the work area.

•Operators must not suspend loads over people, nor can any person be permitted to

work, stand, or pass under a suspended load.

•When a cabinet is being lifted with slings, it is unsafe to lift the cabinet when lifting

sling angle is less than 45 degrees to the top of the cabinet.

Guidelines for using a derrick

When a derrick is used to move a cabinet, lifting eyebolts and slings are used to attach the

cabinet to the derrick.

Lifting eyebolts

DANGER

Cabinet lifting hazard!

When lifting cabinets, incorrect or improperly installed eyebolts will fail endangering

personnel to bodily injury and destroying the equipment.

Avoid using the wrong eyebolts by following these guideline:

•If a ½ inch eyebolt threads easily and fully into a lifting nut on the top of the cabinet,

then use the ½ inch eyebolts.

•If not, check the threads for 12 mm eyebolts. The 12 mm eyebolt should thread all the

way down without binding, until it bottoms out.

•A 12 mm eyebolt is too small for a ½ inch lifting nut, but will not hand thread all the

way into the ½-inch nut unless forced. It will cross thread if forced, and may pull out

when hoisting, presenting a serious danger. Do NOT force 12 mm eyebolts into ½

inch lifting nuts. Doing so will damage the threads of the lifting nuts.

•A ½ inch eyebolt will thread less than half a thread into a 12 mm lifting nut. Do NOT

force ½ inch eyebolts into 12 mm lifting nuts. Doing so will damage the threads of the

lifting nuts.

Install lifting eyebolts on 9927 cabinets

Four R-ITE-6110 M12, or Four R-ITE-6113 1/2-inch lifting eyebolts are screwed into the

lifting nuts on the top of the cabinet, as shown in the following figure.

Position each lifting eyebolt so that the plane of the eyebolt points at the center of the top

of the cabinet, as shown in the previous figure. When this is done, and the load is applied,

the plane of the eyebolt will align with the load. Eyebolts that are not aligned with the

load can bend as the load pulls on them sideways. Refer to the following figure for the

correct method to install the lifting eyebolts.

Install lifting eyebolts on 60ECv2 cabinet

Two R-ITE-6113 1/2 inch lifting eyebolts are screwed into the lifting nuts on the top of

Secure each lifting eyebolt at the top of the cabinet, as shown in the previous figures, and

ensure the shoulder of the eyebolts is properly seated. Refer to the following figure for the

correct method to install the lifting eyebolts.

Install lifting eyebolts

Slings

Attach the slings to the boom line with a B connecting link or clevis. Attach the other

ends of the slings to the lifting eyebolts with a B connecting link or clevis.

When a cabinet is being lifted with slings, it is unsafe to lift the cabinet when the lifting

sling angle is less than 45 degrees to the top of the cabinet. At closer than 45 degrees,

there is too much side stress on the lifting eyebolts. Use slings that are long enough to

keep the lifting sling angle at greater than 45 degrees from the top of the cabinet.

Control the cabinet while it is being lifted

NOTICE

When Moving Cabinet

When moving a cabinet, do not tilt the cabinet beyond 30 degrees from vertical. Do not

stand under the cabinet.

A rope tied to the pallet attached to the cabinet should be used to guide the cabinet while

it is being lifted. The rope must be sufficiently long. As the cabinet is being lifted and

transported, use the rope to guide the cabinet and prevent the cabinet from tilting or

swinging.

Always lift cabinets carefully. Also, keep the boom line tight to prevent the cabinet from

tipping while the cabinet is being moved. At the end of the lift, slowly place the cabinet

on the ground.

Unsafe if lifting sling angle is

less than 45 degrees

GPS antenna installation (general)

Site selection

The GPS antenna installation site should be selected such that the maximum aggregate of

all blockages above the 10 degree mask angle, such as buildings or mountains, does not

exceed 25% of the surface area of a hemisphere around the GPS antenna. This blockage

should not be in one contiguous quadrant of the hemisphere. Each contiguously blocked

quadrant should be less than 12.5% of the sphere's surface area.

The following diagram shows the mask angle definition for the GPS antenna.

Important! Do not install the GPS antenna directly under structures that may

accumulate or shed snow or ice.

It is desirable that the antenna has the clearest view to the south, east, and west in the

northern hemisphere and to the north, east, and west in the southern hemisphere.

Obstructions and interference

The following types of obstructions and possible sources of interference need to be

considered:

•Hills, mountains, trees and surrounding plant life.

•Adjacent buildings or any large sky obstructing structures such as grain elevators,

airplane hangers, bridges, overhead roadways, etc.

•Water towers or any close range large metal objects that could cause excessive sky

obstruction.

•Any locations where birds or animals may easily nest or build on or around the

antenna.

•Any collocated RF transmission antennas, TV stations, cable television cables, or

arc-welding equipment.

•High-voltage lines will not cause interference with GPS signal reception.

•Self-supporting or guyed towers will generally not block the GPS signal.

•Trees do not totally block but rather degrade GPS reception, especially during periods

of heavy rain or snow. Consider if increased summer plant life could also become a

problem.

•If a GPS antenna is mounted to a monopole antenna mast, it must be mounted a

minimum distance (D) from the monopole such that less than 12.5% of a contiguous

surface area of a hemisphere around the antenna is blocked by the monopole. The

GPS antenna must be spaced a minimum distance D = 1.61 x R (where R is the radius

of the monopole at the attachment point of the GPS antenna), from the outside surface

of the monopole.

Example:

Monopole radius (inches)R=12

D = (1.61 x 12)

D = 19.3" minimum

This example assumes, of course, that the monopole is the only obstruction to be

considered, and constitutes a contiguous 12.5% blockage of the sky. This condition would

constitute a contiguous blockage in one quadrant of the hemisphere.

RF interference considerations

The GPS antenna installation site should be chosen such that it is not in a direct radiation

pattern of the cell site transmit antennas, and situated such that no other antennas,

Lightning interference consideration

Lightning considerations

Industry standard practices for lightning protection should be followed for GPS antenna

installations. Several sources for such information are:

•Grounding and Lightning Protection Guidelines for Alcatel-Lucent Network Wireless

System Cell Sites, 401-200-115

•National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), NFPA 780, Standard for Installation of

Lightning Protection Systems

•Poly Phaser Corporation “The Grounds” for lightning protection and grounding

solutions for communication sites.

The GPS antenna should be installed such that it is not the highest point in an installation

(The GPS antenna must not be a lightning rod). The GPS antenna must be within the

“protective cone” (see Figure on the following page) of any grounded structure such as an

antenna tower or ancillary lightning rod. The “protective cone” is the area between the

circumference of a circle with a 150 foot radius that tangentially touches the ground and

the side or top of a grounded structure and the ground or structure.

Protective cone installation

The following diagram shows the GPS antenna installed within the protective cone.

Important! The percentage of protection for the shaded zone is 96%.

Lightning rod installation

If the GPS antenna is mounted to the side of an antenna tower above the 150 foot point,

then horizontal lightning rods must be employed such that the antenna is within the area

of a 150 foot sphere that touches both lightning rods, as shown in the following diagram.

In addition, the GPS antenna coaxial cable shield shall be bonded at one point minimum

near the equipment and/or hatch plate, provided the GPS antenna is installed in the cone

of protection using short (less than 60 feet) coaxial cable.

Important! If the coaxial cable run along the tower is more than 60 feet, then the

coaxial cable shield shall be grounded at multiple points near the antenna and

equipment, at 100 foot intervals.

Preventing Arc-over between structures and antenna

If the GPS antenna is mounted on a separate pole or structure of height (H) near an

antenna tower or other grounded structure, and the distance (D) from the pole or structure

to the tower or other grounded structure is less than the height of the pole divided by six

(H/6), then the pole or structure and the antenna tower must be bonded together eliminate

possible arc over during a lightning strike.

Example:

If the pole is 50 feet tall, then D=8.3 feet. (50/6 = 8.3).

Refer to the following diagram for more detail.

Active GPS antenna Standard Wave Ratio (SWR) test

SWR test

The RF signals from the GPS satellites are extremely low-level microwave signals that

must reach the RFTG with minimal distortion and loss. To verify the RF integrity of the

complete antenna and cable system, a Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) or Distance-to-Fault

(DTF) test should be performed.

Since the GPS antenna is an active device, a standard SWR or DTF test setup cannot be

used. A Bias-T must be employed to inject +5 VDC into the RF line to power the

antenna's Low Noise Amplifier (see Figure below).

Important! The antenna will meet it's specified SWR only when powered in this way.

Calibrate the Wiltron as shown and per the manufacturer's instructions. Perform the SWR

or DTF measurement as shown and per the manufacturer's instructions. Record the MAX

SWR indicated and/or DTF data. If it MAX SWR is greater than 2.5, the fault must be

repaired and the antenna and cable retested.
