About this information productAbout this information productPurposeThis information product (IP) provides instructions for the physical installation of theAlcatel-Lucent CDMA BTS 8420 and AWS 8420 indoor radio cabinets.The tasks are to be performed after completion of all site preparation tasks, which arecovered in Alcatel-Lucent CDMA Base Station 8420 Indoor Site PreparationGuidelines, 401-703-443.Following installation of the indoor 8420 radio cabinet, the next step is to test andintegrate it into the network. Procedures for testing and integration may be found inCDMA Modcell and Base Station Integrated Engineering Handbook (IEH 238).Important! The procedures contained in this IP are based on Alcatel-Lucentstandard practices. Prior to beginning an indoor radio cabinet, power cabinet orframe, or battery frame or stand installation, installers should be familiar with thesepractices. If there is a conflict, standard practices take precedence. However, this IPtakes precedence for identification of parts and materials specific to an indoor radiocabinet.Reason for reissueThis is Issue 4.0 of the Alcatel-Lucent CDMA Base Station 8420 Indoor CabinetInstallation Manual, document number 401-703-444. This issue incorporatesinformation available as of November 2007.In Issue 2, information was added about two new versions of the BTS 8420 radiocabinet -- Filtered version and Low Power version. The previous or original releasecovered only the Digital Only version. In this release the Filtered, and Low Powerversions were added. In addition, Appendix A was added, which covers 3GP24i andEZBFi installation information for the non-integrated version of the BTS 8420 radiocabinet.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................401-703-444Issue 4, November 2007,Alcatel-Lucent - ProprietarySee notice on first page ix
In Issue 3, information was added about a new configuration of the Digital Onlyversion the Digital Only version with two Digital Shelves. The weight and powertables as well as the T1/E1 and User Alarm tables were updated. The UniversalHatchplate figures were replaced with updated figures. Also, changes to EZBFimaterial were made throughout the document.In Issue 4, information about the EZBFi was removed. (From now on, refer to theEZBFi Modular Battery System Installation Manual for +24V and -48V, 401-703-507,when installing and connecting the EZBFi Modular Battery System.) Also, the Z-IDCinformation was updated. (The Z-IDC is no longer required if the NIU is locatedwithin the 10 meter (33 foot) cable length distance from the AWS 8420 or BTS 8420radio cabinet.) In addition, information was added about the new AWS 8420 indoorradio cabinet.Intended audienceThis IP is intended for use by Alcatel-Lucent installation technicians.Systems supportedThis document applies to Alcatel-Lucent CDMA Base Station 8420 indoor cell sites.Conventions usedIn this IP, all parts are described as they are shipped. Metric parts are specified inmetric units. Non-metric parts are specified in non-metric units.Lengths and other measurements are given in metric units, with non-metric units givenas equivalents for use in non-metric markets.For manufactured parts, the following system of conventions is used:•Metric sizes of nuts, bolts, flat washers, and lock washers are identified by anuppercase letter M followed immediately by a size in millimeters (example: M10)•American fractional sizes of nuts, bolts, anchor bolts, and washers are identified bya number followed immediately by a double apostrophe (example: 3/8″). In thecase of lengths measured in feet, ″2 feet″is used rather than ″2’″so that the singleapostrophe is not overlooked.Wire gauges are specified in metric units. Equivalent sizes in the American WireGauge (AWG) system are given in the following table.Important! the measurement in millimeters in the following table is thecross-sectional area of the wire.About this information product...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................xAlcatel-Lucent - ProprietarySee notice on first page 401-703-444Issue 4, November 2007,

Backup power options...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................OverviewThis topic discuss the various battery backup options that are available for the BTS8420 radio cabinet.Power optionsThe following table provides the power options available for the BTS 8420 radiocabinet.Power options DetailsIntegrated power + EZBFi BTS 8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinet with IntegratedPower Module + EZBFiNon-integrated power BTS 8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinet withoutIntegrated Power Module + 3GP24i or customerprovided powerBattery backupBattery backup is available to ensure uninterrupted base station operation in the eventof a power interruption.The Alcatel-Lucent EZBFi battery frames and 3GP24i power cabinet are installed nextto the BTS 8420/AWS 8420 radio cabinet. The 3GP24i power cabinet provides +24VDC and contains only the minimum number of batteries that are needed for batterybackup. The EZBFi battery cabinet contains additional batteries.The customer has the option of supplying his own power cabinet and battery frames.Battery backup requires N+1 rectifiers. Rectifier N+1 is provides redundancy andadditional power for charging the batteries.EZBFi battery frameThe EZBFi battery frame is the standard backup power configuration for indoorapplications.One or more EZBFi frames can be deployed and installed side-by-side to the right ofthe BTS 8420 radio cabinet. The EZBFi battery frame is modular in design. Theframes can be stacked on top of each other. This gives the service provider the optionof installing as much battery back up as is needed.The procedures for installing and connecting EZBFi battery frames are covered in theEZBFi Modular Battery System Installation Manual for +24V and -48V, 401-703-507.Overview of indoor Alcatel-Lucent CDMA Base Station8420 radio cabinet site installation...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................401-703-444Issue 4, November 2007 Alcatel-Lucent - ProprietarySee notice on first page 1-39
EZBFi battery frames (first and second) standardThe optional EZBFi battery frame provides additional battery backup (up to 20batteries) to supplement the batteries in a 3GP24i power cabinet. The batteries arecharged by the integrated power shelf or 3GP24i power cabinet.Battery frame modulesThe entire assembly consists of a Battery Base Module and one or two Add-On BatteryModules stacked on top of the Battery Base Module, which is referred to in the text asthe “first” or “second” battery frame.Overview of indoor Alcatel-Lucent CDMA Base Station8420 radio cabinet site installationBackup power options....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................1-40 Alcatel-Lucent - ProprietarySee notice on first page 401-703-444Issue 4, November 2007
Each battery frame must include a battery base module, consisting of one battery shelfand a DC distribution and fusing panel. The difference between a battery base moduleand add-on battery modules is that the add-on battery modules do not include a DCdistribution and fusing panel. As its name implies, the DC distribution and fusing panelprovide the DC distribution buses required for power connection to the cabinet andfusing protection, as well as the Power Alarm interface.The Battery Base Module contains one battery shelf. Each add-on battery modulecontains two battery shelves.L1 100-Ah 12-VDC batteries are used in the EZBFi battery cabinet. The batteries areconnected in a series-parallel manner to provide 24 VDC.Overview of indoor Alcatel-Lucent CDMA Base Station8420 radio cabinet site installationBackup power options....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................401-703-444Issue 4, November 2007 Alcatel-Lucent - ProprietarySee notice on first page 1-41
