2.1.4 Electromagnetic Radiation Protection Requirements
GB8702-88, "Electromagnetic Radiation Protection Regulations" of the People's
Republic of China specifies:
1. Public radiation: For twenty-four hours in a day, the average power density of
electromagnetic radiation (for six consecutive minutes) is < 0.4W/m
2
(30MHz ~
3000MHz).
2. Professional radiation: For eight work hours in a day, the average power density
of electromagnetic radiation (for six consecutive minutes) is < 2W/m
2
(30MHz
~ 3000MHz).
2.1.5 Grounding Inspection
The grounding regulations and resistance requirements (including the lightning
protection requirements) are as follows:
The communication equipment should be well grounded for reliable operation. Good
grounding ensures lightning protection and interference resistance. The grounding
Chapter
Error! Style not defined.
Error! Style not defined.
2-5
cables in the equipment room should be routed in a radiating or flat way. Three
independent grounding cables should be used. The protection ground of the DC power
distribution system, the work ground of the power system and the lightning protection
ground.
The grounding resistance of the BTS should be less than 5. The engineering requires
the grounding resistance to be the smallest possible. The magnitude of grounding
resistance is affected by grounding post resistance, leading wire resistance, contact
resistance between the grounding post and soil, and soil type of. The greatest impact on
grounding resistance comes from soil type. In areas with poor soil conditions, some
resistance-reducing agent (such as propenamide) may be added around the grounding
stake to meet the requirements. Changes in temperature will also cause variations in
resistance. In cold areas, the impact of temperature on the resistance may be reduced
by burying the stake deeply into the ground. Grounding stakes are usually made of
galvanized materials, in proper size. The connection cables from the grounding stake to
the equipment should adopt copper-sheathed wires of good conductivity (core wire
section area less than 50mm
2
, and length as short as possible). If necessary, anti-erosion
protection can be provided to the grounding connection parts to guarantee
low-resistance connection.
The working ground refers to the loop formed through the earth to transmit energy and
information. For instance, the 3-phase AC power supply neutral line ground and the
positive battery ground are both working grounds. This grounding approach can resist
electromagnetic interference and crosstalk.
The protection ground refers to the grounding of the metal shell of the power supply
equipment to prevent hazards to human body due to power leakage.
In addition, the ground for lightning protection should be used to prevent lightning
strike from damaging the equipment and to protect the safety of lives and properties.
2.1.6 Inspection of the Installation Environment for the Outdoor Antenna Feeder
System
1. Check whether the height and the size of the feeder window comply with the
requirements of the BTS equipment and the engineering design drawing.

Drill holes by taking the following steps:
1. Before drilling, use a sample drill bit to drill a hole at the hole position to help
position the right drill bit. If you use the M12 expansion bolt, you should use the
Φ14 percussion drill bit.
2. The hole depth is the tube length of the expansion bolt plus the length of the bit.
After the hole depth is determined, fix the locating rod of the percussion drill;
3. When drilling, it is recommended that one person drill the holes and the other
clean dust with a cleaner;
4. Put an expansion bolt in the drilled hole and hammer it in with a rubber hammer.
Fix the bolt with its nut and then remove the nut to get ready for the rack
installation. Make sure that the expansion bolt must be securely fixed. If not, the
rack cannot be securely installed.

4.3.2.5 Rack Installation Check
The rack installation check covers the following aspects:
1. Levelness: Since the floor may be uneven, it is necessary to check the levelness
of the rack after installation. Put the level bar on the level section of the rack
front and side to see if the level vial is centered. If not, it shows the rack is not
installed horizontally. In that case, adjust the legs between the rack and the base
at the four corners of the rack bottom. In the case the floor is uneven and there is
big error, use gaskets to adjust the rack levelness;
2. Verticality: Check the rack verticality with a plumb. The verticality error
between the rack bottom and the rack top should be less than 3mm;
3. Stability: The rack should stand still when you push the upper part of the rack
with your hands;
4. Check the corners in the rack. There should be no metallic scraps or wires left
during the installation, and the rack interior should be clean without any
sundries;
5. All screws are tightened with flat washer and spring washers installed in the
correct sequence.

equipment heat dissipation and maintenance space. Therefore, the rack installation
position design should meet the rack layout requirements. The cabinet installation
criteria are as follows:
1. The layout of the cabinets should take into consideration the direction from the
feeder to the BTS. The feeder should meet the bending radian requirement and
be as short as possible.
2. There must be an aisle no less than 1m wide in the cabinet front.
3. There must be maintenance room no less than 0.8m in the cabinet rear.
4. A rack space should be reserved at one side of the cabinet for future system
expansion, and the other side is away from the wall at least 0.1m.
5. When the system is expanded to three carriers and four carriers, two cabinets are
required. If they are placed side by side, it is necessary to remove the cable hole
cover plates on the side panel of the cabinets that contact each other to ease the

backplane is to be replaced, the power cables need to be connected on site.
1. Connection between the DC distribution cabinet and the DC distribution panel
The PE grounding bar of the DC distribution cabinet must be reliably connected
to the protective grounding bar provided by the carrier through the yellow/green
wire with the copper core, plastic insulation layer and the same diameter as the
power cable.
The two -48V terminal blocks of the DC distribution cabinet should be reliably
connected to the -48V DC negative busbars of the active/standby DC
distribution panels respectively. The GND terminal blocks of the DC distribution
cabinet should be reliably connected to the -48V DC positive busbars of the
active/standby DC distribution panels respectively.
If there is no DC distribution cabinet, PE wiring terminals of the cabinets must
be reliably connected with the protective terminal blocks provided by the carrier.
The power cables led out from -48 V and GND wiring terminals of each cabinet
are directly connected to the -48V DC negative busbar and -48V DC positive
busbar of the DC distribution panel.
2. Connection between the DC distribution cabinet and the cabinet
Connect one end of the -48V power cable (blue, 16 mm2) to the -48V wiring
terminal on the filter of the cabinet, and the other end to the -48V busbar of the

6 Installing the Grounding System
Summary
This part describes:
Installation method of the BTS grounding system;
Installation procedure of the BTS grounding system.
6.1 Overview of the BTS Grounding System
The purpose of grounding is to ensure the safety of human body and equipment and to
improve the capability of the equipment to resist electromagnetic interference.
The grounding system consists of indoor part, outdoor part and underground ground
grid of the building.
As to the engineering, the user is responsible for the basic ground grid construction of
the grounding system, the grounding engineering of the iron tower and the building,
and the provision of the connecting point for the indoor and the outdoor grounding
copper bars to connect the ground grid via separate 50mm
2
wires, as shown in Fig.
6.1-1.
The wire of the indoor rack PGND (protection ground) is connected to the indoor
grounding copper bar, as shown in Fig. 6.1-1.
The wire of the BTS rack –48VGND (working ground) is connected to the working
ground terminal of the BTS DC power rack.
To ground the lightning arrester, connect it to the outdoor grounding copper bar with a
wire. And to ground the feeder, connect each feeder to the outdoor grounding copper
bar through a grounding clip before it enters the equipment room, as shown in Fig.
6.1-1.
This section describes the grounding of the BTS equipment and the installation of the
grounding device accessories required for the BTS installation. It covers the

under the feeder window or on the rainproof wall of the feeder well on the roof top. In
principle, it is better to put it close to the feeder window.
During the practical installation, first determine the installation position of the
grounding copper bar by following the engineering design drawing, and then install the
grounding copper bar on the wall with the expansion bolts. See Fig. 6.2-1 for the
structure of the grounding copper bar.
Fig. 6.2-1 Profile of the Grounding Copper Bar
6.2.2 Installing the Feeder Grounding Clip
Caution:
No installation of grounding clip should be performed in case of any lightning strike,
lest bodily injury may be incurred.
When installing the grounding clip, keep the feeder at the joint of the grounding clip
and the feeder straight.
6.2.2.1 Grounding Principles of Main Feeders
1. Usually, each main feeder should be grounded with grounding clips at least at
three positions: on the tower platform, at the place where the main feeder leaves
the tower for the outdoor cabling rack, and before the cable enters the equipment
room. When the main feeder is over 60m, grounding clips should be added in
the middle of it. Generally, a grounding clip is installed on the feeder every 20m.
ZXC10-BTS (V5.4) Installation Manual
6-4
2. The antenna feeder system, antenna support and new cabling rack installed on
the roof top should be welded to the lightning protection grid of the building.
The feeder should also be grounded at three positions: where it leaves the
antenna embracing pole, where it leaves the roof top, and where it enters the
equipment room.
3. When the main feeder enters the equipment room from the roof top along the
wall, the outdoor cabling ladder provided by the network operator must be
grounded. If not, urge the network operator to finish it as soon as possible.
6.2.2.2 Installing the Grounding Clip
1. Prepare the tools: Paper cutter, flathead screwdrivers, wrench and sharp-nose
pliers.
2. Select a proper installation position for the grounding clip. And cut open the
sheath of the 7/8" feeder to the size of the grounding clip. The structure of the
grounding clip is as shown in Fig. 6.2-2

3. Lead the grounding wire of the feeder lightning grounding clip to the ground
grid. No reverse direction is allowed. The angle formed by the grounding wire
and the main feeder should not be more than 15°C. No reverse folding is
allowed.
In the case the antenna feeder system is installed on the tower, the grounding
wire of the grounding clip should be led downward along the tower body.
Chapter

6-5
In the case the antenna feeder system is installed on the roof top, the grounding
wire of the grounding clip should be led close to the building lightning
protection grid.
4. Before installing the grounding clip, wrap the grounding wire at the grounding
clip end that is close to the grounding wire copper sheet with the waterproof
adhesive tape, as shown in Fig. 6.2-3. This can improve the sealing effect and
prevent the rain from falling into the feeder interior along the grounding wire.
Fig. 6.2-3 Wrapping the Grounding Wire of the Grounding Clip with Waterproof Tape
5. Clamp the feeder external conductor with the grounding wire copper sheet and
the locking spring plate, so that the grounding wire copper sheet and the feeder
external conductor are fully meshed.
6. Take the following steps to conduct the waterproof treatment to the joint of the
grounding clip and the feeder:
1) First wrap the waterproof adhesive tapes and then wrap the PVC tapes.
2) To wrap the waterproof adhesive tapes, apply them layer by layer from bottom
to top first, then from top to bottom once again, and finally from bottom to top
thrice, that is, wrap three layers of them. During the process, make sure the
upper layer overlaps the lower layer by about half the width of the tapes.
7. The grounding end of the grounding clip can be connected to the main tower
body or the outdoor cabling rack (connected to the lightning protection grid of
the building) on the roof top. Remove paint and oxide within the radius of about
13mm at the connection place, and cover the clean area with antioxidant to
ensure good electric contact. When the grounding end is connected, paint
another coat of antirust paint.
8. Before the main feeder enters the room, the grounding end of the grounding clip
can be connected to the outdoor grounding bar.

6.2.3 Installing the Indoor Lightning Arrester
For the wide-band lightning arrester that need not be grounded separately, you may
directly connect it in serial to the place between the main feeder and the indoor set top
jumper. During the installation, the lightning arrester and indoor equipment as the
cabling rack should be insulated.
For the lightning arrester that need be grounded, a lightning arrester frame should be
provided. Please refer to the assembly instructions provided by the supplier for the
assembling of the lightning arrester frame. The installation steps are as follows:
1. Install the lightning arrester on its frame in advance.
During the installation, please note that the connectors at both ends of the
lightning arrester are different: One end is a DIN male connector (DIN-M) and
the other is a DIN female connector (DIN-F). Make sure that the DIN-M
connector of all the lightning arresters installed on the frame are in the same
direction, and the DIN-F connector of all the lightning arresters are in the same
direction. The lightning arrester should be securely installed on the frame and in
close contact with the frame.
2. Fix the assembled lightning arrester to the cabling rack.
Plan the installation position carefully to make both the main feeder and the set
top jumper easily be connected to the lightning arrester and to enable easy
cabling.
The lower part of the lightning arrester frame that is secured to the cabling rack
can be adjusted according to the width of the cabling rack.
When the lightning arrester frame is installed on the cabling rack, make sure that
its DIN-M connector points to the main feeder and its DIN-F connector points to
the connection line from the jumper to the rack.
3. The lightning arrester is installed indoor. Its grounding wire should be connected
to the outdoor grounding copper bar and should not contact with the conductor
of the indoor cabling rack. The lightning arrester frame is insulated from the
cabling rack.
The installation of the lightning arrester frame is as shown in Fig. 6.2-4.

7 Installing the Cabinet Internal Cables
Summary
This part describes:
Configuration types of BTS and precautions of the
installation of the front panel RF cables;
Cable installation in BTS single-carrier and two-carrier
configurations;
Cable installation in BTS three-carrier above
configurations.
7.1 Overview of the Internal Cable Installation
7.1.1 Configuration Types of BTS
A macro BTS can be configured in various ways, e.g., single-carrier three-sector,
two-carrier three-sector and four-carrier three-sector as required by the installation
environment and traffic conditions.
The RFE model varies with the BTS configuration and the number/length of
connection lines configured for the front panel of the rack. The following sections
describe the typical configurations: Single-carrier single-sector, single-carrier
two-sector, single-carrier three-sector, and two-carrier three-sector.
7.1.2 Precautions for Installing the RF Cables on the Front Panel
The front panel of the BTS rack uses RF cables to transmit the uplink and downlink RF
signals between RFE, HPA and TRX. N-type interfaces and SMA interfaces are use.
During the cable installation, make sure to align the cables to the interfaces and screw
them tight.
Generally, the RF cables have been deployed for a new base station and what needs to
do is only take the feeder connectors out of the cabling trough on the front panel and
ZXC10-BTS (V5.4) Installation Manual
7-2
connect them to the RF interfaces on the front panel. However, re-cabling is required
for a base station to be expanded in capacity. Note that the RF cables are attached with
labels at both ends. The details are as follows:
1. The upper end (DIN connector) of the 1/2'' feeder from the RF front end to the
rack top has been installed to the rack top before factory delivery, so the onsite
installation only involves its lower end. During the installation, remove
dustproof cap from the lower end (N-type connector) of the feeder, hold the
lower end and slightly push the middle part of the feeder so that the feeder bends
naturally and its lower port aligns to the ANT port on the front panel of RFE,
and then fasten the screw cap. Please be noted that during the installation you
should align both the port and the screw cap to smoothly screw tight the 1/2''
feeder because it is short and has a certain rigidity.
2. Fig. 7.1-1 shows the structure of the RF connection lines between RFE, HPA
and TRX. The cables have all been deployed for the rack before factory delivery
if the base station is newly built. During the installation, open the baffle of the
cabling slot on the front panel and take out the connectors (SMA) and connect
them to the corresponding positions against the labels on the cables. For the
specific content of these labels, please refer to the information about "End A
Direction" and "End B Direction" given in Table 7.2-1, Table 7.2-2, Table 7.2-3
and Table 7.2-4 concerning the "Front Panel Wiring List" of multiple
configurations. Please also be noted that you should check the connectors
against the cable labels once again after installing them.
Label Label
Fig. 7.1-1 Structure of the RF Cables on the Front Panel of the Rack
3. Some additional RFE, HPA and TRX modules are needed for a base station
requiring capacity expansion. The RF cables connecting them need onsite
connection. To do so, you should select the RF connection cables according to
the configuration requirements of the base station to be expanded, deploy the
feeders tidily and bind them securely inside the cabling troughs in accordance
Chapter

with the route requirements as regulated in the cabling diagram, and then
connect them one by one as instructed by their labels.
4. A load of 50 should be matched to each port that does not connect any RF
cable.
5. The cabling should be neat and in order, and no cable should be damaged during
the bundling or cutting of their cable ties.

7.2.5 Connecting the Backplane Signal Cables for the Rack of a Single-carrier or
Two-carrier BTS
The internal signal cables at the BTS rack’s backplane are: transit cable from rack top
to GPS antenna of GCM board, T1 transit cable from rack top to DSM board, LVDS
cable, HPA unit cable and BTM cable.
The ZXC10-BTSB I2 backplane cables are ready connected and tested before rack
delivery and it’s unnecessary to lay them over again during installation. For easier
expansion, the backplane cables are already laid out for the configuration of two
carriers and three sectors. For just in case, check if the cables are fast connected before
the rack is powered on. If there is a need to shoot a trouble while commissioning for
expansion purpose, the backplane indications and signal cable labels may be checked
for any connection error or cable problem.
7.3 Installing the Cables for the BTS of Three Carriers and Above
Two BTS cabinets should be combined for the BTSB I2 configuration of three carriers
and above: One basic cabinet (1#) that accommodates the GCM, DCM and SNM
modules, and one extended cabinet (2#).For easier expansion, all backplane cables for
the BTS of three carriers and above are deployed as required by the four-carrier

three-sector configuration, while the front panel cabling can be either for three-carrier
three-sector configuration or four-carrier three-sector configuration.

7.3.4 Connecting the Backplane Signal Cables of the BTS Rack
For three-carrier BTS and four-carrier BTS, the extended rack does not contain the
GCM and the DSM. Therefore, the signal transmission is made from the basic rack to
the extended rack through the rack top jumpers.

Note: The T1 cable at the extended interface is selected according to the contract. Normally it is not configured.
7.4.3 Function
The T1 cable used at the Abis interface is the 100 coaxial cable twisted pair. It
connects the board interfaces to the rack top. The characteristic impedance of the T1
cable is the same as the input/output impedance of the line transceiver set for the
board’s T1 transceiver.
7.4.4 Connection Positions of Both Ends, Cabling and Signal Flow Direction of
Cables
One end of the T1 cable connects to the connector on the backplane of the IP_BDS
shelf, and the other connects to the conversion card at the rack top.
If the 100 T1 is used, then the DB44 high-density connector should be employed on
the backplane of the IP_BDS shelf, while the CC4 standard T1 coaxial socket should
be employed to connect the conversion card, as shown in Fig. 7.4-1 and Table 7.4-1.
On the BTS rack top, there are totally 16 T1 interfaces marked as “BSC_IP_T1-0-7”
and “EXT_IP_T1-0-7” (100 cable terminals are shown in ). 8 out of the 16 are active
for connecting with the BSC. The rest T1 interfaces are standby or will be used for the
daisy chain configuration of a BTS.

10 Installing the Main Antenna Feeder
System
Summary
This part describes:
Installation preparation for the BTS main antenna
feeder system;
Structure of the BTS main antenna feeder system;
Installation content and flow of the BTS main antenna
feeder system;
Installation procedure of the parts of the BTS main
antenna feeder system;
Installation check and test of the antenna feeder
system;
Waterproof treatment of the connectors.
10.1 Installation Preparation for the Antenna Feeder System
This covers the preparations of staff, safety measures, tools and instruments, and
technical documents, and the installation environment check.
The installation of the antenna feeder equipment is important to the installation of the
BTS equipment. Its construction quality directly affects the operating performance of
the entire BTS system. Most of the BTS installation engineering is the installation of
the antenna feeder equipment that generally takes up 80% of the installation time of the
whole BTS system. The installation of the antenna feeder equipment involves the
installation of the antenna, the jumper, the routing of the main feeder, and the
installation of the lightning protection system and the GPS system. Different antenna
may be used due to different terrain, population density and installation environment.
ZXC10-BTS (V5.4) Installation Manual
10-2
The installation method and procedure differs. In the precondition of quality, the
Installation Supervisor should install the antenna as per the actual situation flexibly and
reasonably by following the BTS engineering design documents and the installation
instructions of the special antenna provided by the manufacturer.
Prior to the installation of the antenna feeder system, inspect the qualification of the
installation staff to work at heights, check and prepare the installation environment, the
installation measures, the installation tools and the antenna feeder to be installed so that
the installation can be carried out successfully.
10.1.1 Preparations for Installation Staff
Generally, the installation of antenna feeder system is supervised by the Installation
Supervisor and carried out by the installation staff.
Requirements for the Installation Supervisor: He should be familiar with the materials,
tools and operation methods used in the antenna feeder installation, and be responsible
for organizing the installation staff and assigning proper tasks (especially working on
the tower) to the staff in the principle of "Safety First". The Installation Supervisor
should fill in the engineering data faithfully.
Requirements for the installation staff: Staff that can conduct the installation
professionally under the instruction of the supervisor. The staff working at heights
should have no acrophobia and be in good health. In addition, he should have the
qualification and certificate for working at heights, observe the requirements for using
the safety tools, have purchased life insurance policy, and should not drink.
10.1.2 Installation Environment Inspection
The environment inspection focuses on the following: The outdoor lightning protection
grounding cable should be in place with the core diameter more than 50mm
2
. The
distance between the antenna lightning arrester, the lightning protection grounding
point, the outdoor cabling rack, and the antenna embracing pole should meet the design
requirement. The strength and the wind-withstanding capability of the embracing pole
should also meet the design requirements. Check the preparation of the compulsory
tools and engineering auxiliary materials. Both parties should negotiate and define the
specific routing of the main feeder.
Chapter Error! Style not defined. Error! Style not de
fined.
10-3
As to the installation of the antenna support, the equipment supplier puts forward
requirements for the antenna structure and dimensions, while the network operator
completes the installation as parts of the equipment room accordingly.
The network operator is also responsible for the installation of the antenna feeder
installation environment such as the outdoor cabling rack, the lightning arrester, the
lightning protection grounding peg, and the outdoor lightning protection grounding
cable. The construction of the wall or the hole on the roof for the feeder window where
the main feeder enters the room involves the infrastructure of the equipment room. It
should be completed as part of the equipment room by the network operator.
10.1.3 Safety Measures Inspection
Caution:
The staff working on the tower must wear the safety belt and must not wear loose
clothes or slippery shoes, while the staff under the tower must wear the safety helmet.
1. Emphasize the safety precautions to the engineering staff.
2. The outdoor engineering of the antenna feeder should be conducted on a fine
day without strong wind.
3. Distinct marks should be set up at the engineering site to keep off people
irrelevant. The staff working under the tower have the obligation to clear the
people irrelevant on-site, especially children, off the site. All the tools and
instruments that might fall off the tower and hurt the personnel under the tower
must be strictly handled. For example, the tools and metal installation parts that
are temporarily not used on the tower should be put in a canvas tool bag. The
bag should be closed once you take out the tool you need.
10.1.4 Preparation of Installation Tools
Installation tools comprise the following:
1. Measurement tools: Compass, multimeter, angle meter, tape;
2. Communication tools: Two MSs;
3. Hoisting tools: Pulley, rope to pull the main feeder;
ZXC10-BTS (V5.4) Installation Manual
10-4
4. Special tools: Main feeder cutter, special tools for preparing main feeder
connectors;
5. General-purpose tools: Adjustable wrench, sharp-nose pliers, diagonal pliers,
electrical knife, file, hacksaw;
6. Safety protection tools: Safety belt (used by engineering staff who step out of
the platform on the tower), safety helmet, safety rope, thick uniform, RF-proof
clothing, canvas tool bag, gloves, multi-purpose power socket;
7. Others: Standing ladder, wooden axle hoisting tool for the main feeder (this can
be borrowed from the local user).
10.2 Structure of the Antenna Feeder System
As shown in Fig. 10.2-1, the antenna feeder system comprises antenna, antenna jumper,
main feeder, lightning arrester, set top jumper, grounding parts and others.

Caution:
1. Take careful precautions for the safety of yourself and the equipment during the
whole antenna installation process;
2. When adjusting the antenna that is already working, take certain measures (for
example, wear radiation-shielding clothing), and turn off the high power amplifier to
avoid the direct radiation of the antenna to human body.
10.3.1 Technical Parameters for Antenna Installation
1. Antenna height
It is determined by network planning.
2. Azimuth of antenna
It is determined by network planning.
3. Pitch angle of antenna
It is determined by network planning. Usually 0° ~ 10° adjustable.
4. Antenna direction
It is determined by the azimuth of the antenna. Two antennas in the same sector
should point to the same direction.
5. Distance between diversity antennas
The two antennas in the same sector are diversity receiving antenna to each
other with the same vertical height. The horizontal distance (d) is as large as
possible to satisfy the engineering requirements just by following the formula
below.
d 10~20λ (or H/d = 11), where d is the horizontal distance between the
diversity antennas, and H is the vertical height from the antenna to the floor. The
diversity distance of the 1900M carrier should be more than 1.5m while that of
the 800M carrier should be more than 3.5m.

10.4 Installing the Antenna Parts
10.4.1 Determining the Antenna Installation Position
During the installation, the antenna installation position should be determined
according to the antenna feeder installation drawing among the engineering design
drawing. If the antenna support is installed in a place different as that shown in the
engineering design drawing, second design should be done based on the network
ZXC10-BTS (V5.4) Installation Manual
10-8
coverage requirement of the local BTS, antenna diversity requirement, antenna azimuth
and pitch angle. And design modification solution should be made then after
consultation with the user representative and the design institution, lest the network
coverage after the installation be affected.
10.4.2 Handling and Hoisting the Antenna
Caution:
Personnel both on and under the tower should coordinate to hoist the antenna. During
the hoisting process, the personnel under the tower should pull the antenna away from
the tower body by pulling the rope, lest the antenna be damaged due to crash with the
tower body.
In the case the antenna is to be installed on the tower, use the rope and pulley block to
hoist the antenna, the 3m antenna jumper and all the accessories (such as tools, safety
belts, adhesive tapes and straps) to the tower-top platform and place them in a safe
place. Take corresponding safety measures during the process. Small metal staff as
antenna fixing parts and wrenches should be put in a sealed canvas tool bag before
hoisting, as shown in Fig. 10.4-1.
Both ends of the directional antenna and the omni-antenna should be knotted for easy
coordination of the staff both on and under the tower during the hoisting.
In the case the antenna is to be installed on the roof, move the antenna and the
installation materials to the installation position manually.

10.4.3 Installing and Adjusting the Directional Antenna
Note:
The installation methods of antennas of different models vary from one
manufacturer to another. This section takes the Kathrein antenna as an
example to describe the antenna installation process. Please carefully read
the installation instructions provided along with the antenna during the
installation and install the antenna as per the actual situation.
1. Initial assembly of the directional antenna fittings
The directional antenna has a number of installation fasteners. For example, the
Kathrein antenna has two types of fasteners: 738516 and 737974. Before fixing
the antenna, assemble fastener 737974 to the ends of the antenna, as shown in
Fig. 10.4-2, and then connect fasteners 737974 and 738516. Thus the initial
installation of the directional antenna is complete. All accessories must be
installed with spring and flat washers. Please refer to the instructions attached to
ZXC10-BTS (V5.4) Installation Manual
10-10
the product for descriptions of other fasteners for the antenna of other
manufacturers or of Kathrein.
Usually the antenna fixing accessories and the angle adjustment device
accessories have been installed on the antenna under the tower.
2. Initial fixing of the directional antenna on the antenna embracing pole
Mount the directional antenna installed with clamp accessories on the antenna
embracing pole: The screw should not be too tight that you are unable to adjust
the direction and the pitch angle of the antenna, nor too loose lest the antenna
slip downward.
3. Adjusting the azimuth of the antenna
1) Determine the azimuth of the antenna using a compass. And determine the
installation direction of the directional antenna according to the engineering
design drawing;
2) Turn the antenna slightly to adjust its face direction, as shown in Fig. 10.4-2. At
the same time measure the direction of the antenna with a compass till the error
is within the engineering design requirements (generally not more than 5°);
3) After adjusting the azimuth of the antenna, tighten the fastener 738516.

10.4.4 Installing and Adjusting the Omni Antenna
Take the following steps to install the omni antenna:
1. Put the jacket at the antenna lower part close to the support backbone. The top of
the jacket should be flush with or slightly higher than the support top;
2. Fix the jacket at the antenna lower part and the support backbone at two points
with antenna fixing clips. They should be fixed tight enough to bear weight and
withstand wind, and should not be too loose or too tight lest the antenna jacket
be damaged.
3. Check the antenna verticality. The omni antenna must be vertical. Make sure the
antenna is vertical, and then fix it to the antenna embracing pole.
4. Stick the support installed with the antenna out of the tower platform, and adjust
the support to make the antenna vertical.
10.4.5 Connecting and Sealing the Jumper and the Antenna
Note:
The antenna and the jumper can be connected and waterproof treatment can be
conducted on the joint before the antenna is fixed on the embracing pole. This
can reduce the time working at heights and improve the joint connection and
waterproof quality. The installation steps are as follows:
1. Align the connector of the antenna jumper to the antenna interface and screw it
tightly.
Chapter Error! Style not defined. Error! Style not de

10-13
2. Perform waterproof treatment to the joint (See section 10.6 "Waterproof
Treatment on Joint" for details):
1) Wrap starting from the root of the antenna joint with waterproof adhesive tape in
the same direction as the fastening direction of the antenna jumper;
2) Stretch the waterproof adhesive tape to double its length, and apply it layer by
layer till it covers about 5cm of the bottom of the feeder joint. During the
process, make sure the upper layer overlaps the lower layer by half the width of
the tape.
3) Grip the tape with hands to make the tape tightly adhered;
4) Apply the PVC tape layer by layer on top of the waterproof adhesive tape.
During the process, make sure the upper layer overlaps the lower layer by half
the width of the tape.
10.4.6 Installing the Feeder Window
Note:
The feeder window provided by ZTE is a four-hole one with the dimensions of
400mm × 400mm. Altogether 12 feeders can go through the feeder window, and
the dimensions of the cavity on the wall can be 300mm × 300mm. If the user
provides a special feeder window, then make the wall cavity according to the
actual dimensions of the feeder window.
The feeder window is usually mounted on the wall outside the equipment room
between the indoor and the outdoor cabling racks.
If the main feeder window is to be installed on the building-top, sealing and waterproof
treatment should be conducted on it. You may use asphalt or glass cement to seal the
feeder window.
The feeder window has four or nine holes and the 4-hole feeder window is as shown in
Fig. 10.4-4. Table 10.4-1 shows the specifications of varying feeder windows. Follow
the steps below to install the feeder window:
1. Determine the installation position of the feeder window as required by the
engineering design drawing;
2. Make a cavity on the wall according to the size of the feeder window;
ZXC10-BTS (V5.4) Installation Manual
10-14
3. Drill holes for the expansion bolts using a percussion drill and fix the main
board of the feeder window with expansion bolts;
4. The sealing gasket and sealing tube of the feeder window can be installed when
the main feeder is introduced into the room. See section 10.4.7.6 "Introducing
the Main Feeder into the Equipment Room";
5. For cold areas with sand storms, even if the wall is thick, it is necessary to install
timber baffle plates inside the equipment room to keep warm and keep sands
outside.

10.4.7.1 Determining the Feeder Routes
During the engineering installation phase, the layout of the feeder should be
determined according to the feeder wiring drawing among the engineering design
drawings. If the layout of the feeder need be modified as per the practical situation, you
should consult the user representative and try to solve the problem as early as possible.
Please note that the length of the main feeder should be as short as possible.

10.4.7.2 Preparing the Main Feeder Connectors
Caution:
The preparation of the feeder connector is the most important part in the antenna feeder
installation engineering. The quality of the job directly affects the equipment operation
and the network quality.
Since the cutting tool used is sharp, use it correctly to avoid body injury.
This section takes the Rosenberger 7/8" feeder connector as an example to describe the
preparation process. For the installation of the feeder connector of other specifications
or other manufacturers, please refer to their installation instructions.
Take the 7/8" main feeder connector as an example. The procedure to make the
connector is as follows:
1. The common cutting tool to make the feeder connector is as shown in Fig.
10.4-6.
Fig. 10.4-6 Cutting Tool for the 7/8" Feeder Connector
2. Measure a straight feeder section of about 150mm to be installed with the
connector, and cut and strip the feeder sheath 50mm away from the end using a
safety cutting tool.
3. Put the feeder into the notch of the cutter (EASIAX), leaving a length of four
sheath threads from the main blade. And then close the cutter handles. Since the
position of the cutter is determined according to the threads on the external
copper sheath of the feeder, the main blade should just be aligned to the crest at
the center of a thread of the feeder.
Chapter Error! Style not defined. Error! Style not de
fined.
10-17
4. Turn the cutter in the direction as marked on the cutter till the handles are
completely closed and cut the internal and external copper conductors of the
feeder completely. At the same time, the auxiliary blade of the cutter cuts the
external plastic protection sheath of the feeder, as shown in Fig. 10.4-7.
Fig. 10.4-7 Cutting the Feeder with a Cutter
5. Check the cutting length of the feeder, as shown in Fig. 10.4-8.
Crest position
Fig. 10.4-8 Checking the Cutting Length of the Feeder
6. Separate the front part and back part of the feeder connector, and insert the back
part into the feeder till it contacts with the first corrugation of the feeder.
7. Firmly insert the tube expander of the cutter into the feeder and turn it left and
right to expand the external copper conductor of the feeder, so that it presses
against the back part of the feeder connector, as shown in Fig. 10.4-9.

8. Check whether there is residual copper scraps. The external copper sheath
should be evenly expanded without burrs. Pull the back part of the feeder
connector outward while keeping it from slipping away from the feeder. If it
does separate from the feeder, make it again.
9. Connect the front part and the back part of the feeder connector, as shown in Fig.
10.4-10.
Fig. 10.4-10 Connecting the Front Part and the Back Part of the Feeder Connector

10.4.7.3 Cutting the Feeders
Caution:
When cutting the main feeder, label it at both ends. Temporary label can also be
attached to the middle of the feeder. All the labels must be consistent. Otherwise, the
feeder may not be correctly connected and the sectors may not correspond to the feeder.
This is crucial!
Usually the feeder is rolled over to the installation site. The length of the main feeder
should be exactly measured again on site according to the final route negotiated with
the user. And the feeder should be cut into sections as required. The cutting steps are as
follows:
1. For the antenna feeder to be installed on the roof
1) Determine the length of the main feeder in each sector again with a tape measure
according to the actual route;
2) Cut the feeder to the length of the measured actual length plus 1m to 2m;
3) After cutting a main feeder, attach the corresponding temporary label to both
ends of the feeder, for example, ANT1, ANT2, ANT3, ANT4, ANT5 and ANT6.
When the feeder is installed, attach the formal label to it.
4) Move the cut feeders to the roof. During the process, take care that the feeders
are not damaged or pressed.
2. For the antenna feeder to be installed on the tower
1) Use roller support, pulley block and hoisting rope to lift one end of the feeder to
the tower top. The personnel under the tower cut the feeder to the length from
the feeder enters the equipment room to the lightning arrester frame plus certain
redundancy. Attach temporary labels to the lower part of the feeder. When the
feeder enters the equipment room, attach the formal label to it.
2) It is better to make the upper connector of the main feeder before hoisting it to
reduce the time that the staff works at heights and to better ensure the
installation quality of the feeder connector.
ZXC10-BTS (V5.4) Installation Manual

10.4.7.4 Hoisting the Main Feeders of the Iron Tower
Caution:
During the hoisting, rough operations are not allowed, lest the sheath of the main
feeder be damaged or scratched. The partial damage of a single main feeder will cause
the whole cable be rejected as useless.
Take precautions for personal safety when hoisting the feeders.
If the main feeder is to be installed on the tower, pulley blocks should be used to hoist
the main feeder, as shown in Fig. 10.4-12. Take the following steps to install the main
feeder:
1. Check again that the main feeder labels attached 0.3m away from both ends of
the main feeder are correct;
2. Wrap the main feeder connector made under the tower with flax (or antistatic
packing bag together with foam) and strap it tightly.
3. Knot and fix the hoisting rope 0.4m and 3.4m away from the feeder connector to
help the staff both on and under the tower pull up the feeder and to prevent the
feeder and its connector from damage caused by their bumping into the tower
during the hoisting process.
4. After the feeder is hoisted to the tower platform, fix the upper end of the cable to
a proper place at several points, lest the cable fall down from the tower.

10.4.7.5 Cabling and Fixing the Main Feeders
1. Cabling principle of the main feeder
The main feeder that enters the equipment room from the feeder window and is
routed along the indoor cabling rack should be bound neatly without crossing.
The main feeder that is routed along the indoor cabling rack and the cabling rack
on the tower should have no crossing;
Make yourself familiar with the routing of the main feeder before cabling it. It is
better to take down its actual route on paper to avoid rework due to crossing the
cable;
ZXC10-BTS (V5.4) Installation Manual
10-22
The minimum bending radius of the main feeder should not be less than 20
times the length of the radius of the main feeder. For one-time bending, the
minimum bending radius is 90mm. The minimum bending radius of repeated
bends is 200mm.
The maximum spacing between the hangers is 1.65m.
2. Cabling procedure of the main feeder
1) Pre-install the three-feeder clips every 1.5 meters (or as per the actual condition
of the iron tower, but no more than 1.65 meters) along the iron tower or cabling
rack. Note that the spacing should be as even as possible and the direction of
installing them should be the same. When installing two rows of feeder clips
inside the same cabling ladder, the two rows should be parallel and arranged
neatly. Fig. 10.4-13 shows the outside view of a three-feeder clip.
Fig. 10.4-13 Three-feeder Clip
2) Sort out the main feeders from the antenna to the equipment room inside.
3) Fix the main feeders from top to bottom and sort them out while attaching the
three-feeder clips. Fasten the feeder clips after smoothing the main feeders. Note
that you should keep the main feeders flat and straight rather than allowing any
bulge between two feeder clips or fixing the feeders at the two ends
simultaneously.
4) Fix the main feeders with three-feeder clips along the outdoor cabling ladders
prepared by the network operator for the main feeders to be routed along the
building top to the equipment room inside.

10.4.7.6 Introducing Main Feeders into the Equipment Room
1. Precautions
Fig. 10.4-14 and Fig. 10.4-15 illustrate how the common feeders enter the
equipment room. Please ensure that the feeders will not bring any rain into the
equipment room when entering the equipment room. For that purpose, you can
design water curves as necessary.

introducing them through the feeder window into the equipment room.
2. Installation procedure
ZXC10-BTS (V5.4) Installation Manual
10-24
1) Loosen the fixing hoop from the feeder window to the proper position with
reference to Section 10.4.6, "Installing the Feeder Window", and pull away the
sealing cover of the aperture to thread the feeders.
2) Lead the feeders into the equipment room: Two persons are needed to cooperate
with each other, one indoors and the other outdoors, to introduce the feeders
from the outdoor cabling racks into the indoor cabling racks. During this process,
care should be taken to avoid damaging the indoor equipment or damaging the
feeder due to improper force applied on the outdoor feeder. Fasten the fixing
hoop after pulling the feeders in place.
3) Cut the feeders. Pay attention to the following:
Check the labels:
Ensure that the temporary labels on the feeders are complete before feeder
cutting and are still attached on the feeders after cutting. This is very important
to avoid feeder chaos.
Determine the cutting position:
When cutting the feeders, select the cutting position according to the equipment
room conditions (such as the rack installation position, the set top jumper length,
the lightning arrester configuration or the installation position of the lightning
arrester frame), the bending radii of the feeders and the cabling requirements of
the equipment room.
4) Prepare the indoor connectors for the main feeders.
5) Connect the main feeders to the lightning arresters.
If a lightning arrester is not grounded, it should be directly mounted onto the
feeders to ensure proper insulation between the lightning arrester and the cabling
rack.
If a lightning arrester is equipped with a lightning arrester frame, each feeder
should be thoroughly adjusted to ensure the screw threads properly fit in with
the lightning arrester when the main feed and the arrester are connected. For
details, refer to Section 6.2.3, "Installing the Indoor Lightning Arrester".

10.4.8 Installing the Indoor Jumpers
Indoor set top jumpers are used between the lightning arrester connected to the main
feeder and the rack. Usually the finished 2m set top jumpers are used, or the jumpers
can be prepared on site as per the actual length required.
If the 2m finished jumpers are used, they can be directly installed between the lightning
arrester and the rack top.
If the jumpers are prepared on site, 1/2'' feeders should be prepared through cutting
according to the specific length of each jumper. Assemble proper feeder connectors
onto both ends of the feeders according to the feeder connector assembly instructions,
and connect the jumpers between the lightning arrester and rack top.
10.5 Checking and Testing the Antenna Feeders
After installing all the antenna feeders, conduct the SWR test on each of them. The
measured SWR should be less than 1.5 and usually less than 1.3. If this is not satisfied,
check immediately the feeder connectors installed, antenna, feeders and lightning
arresters to find where the problem comes from. For the method of SWR test with
SiteMaster, refer to Appendix G.
10.6 Waterproof Treatment for the Connectors
Caution:
The waterproof sealing for the outdoor jumpers and the feeder grounding clips of the
antenna feeder system is an important part of the antenna feeder installation. It is of
special concern. In the installation process, make sure to use waterproof tapes properly
to ensure the quality of installing the antenna feeder system.
Use 1/2'' jumpers, generally the 3m finished jumpers, between the antenna and main
feeder for transition. Connect the 1/2'' jumper and the feeder and seal their connectors
as follows:
1. Connect and fasten the antenna jumper and the main feeder connector
2. Make waterproof treatment on the connectors in the following steps:
ZXC10-BTS (V5.4) Installation Manual
10-26
1) Cut waterproof adhesive tapes about 200mm long;
2) Wrap the waterproof adhesive tapes from a low position where the connector is
connected and apply them about 200mm long to fill the low-lying parts of the
connector, as shown in Fig. 10.6-1.
Fig. 10.6-1 Wrap the Waterproof Adhesive Tapes (1)
3) Extend the adhesive tapes to double their length when wrapping them. The
direction of wrapping should be the same as the direction of screwing the feeder
connector, lest the feeder connector be loosened during the wrapping process.
4) As shown in Fig. 10.6-2, wrap the adhesive tapes layer by layer and then wrap
them again in the reverse direction. The upper layer covers the lower layer by
about 1/3 to avoid water penetration. Finally, reverse the direction and wrap
them layer by layer again. Apply the tape with three layers without any cut in the
entire process. Wrap the tapes around the feeder connector till they protrude
about 20mm from the feeder connector.
Fig. 10.6-2 Wrap the Waterproof Adhesive Tapes (2)
5) Grip the waterproof adhesive tapes after wrapping them to ensure firm bonding
between the tapes and the feeders/feeder connectors, as shown in Fig. 10.6-3.

feeder system;
Waterproof treatment of the connectors.
11.1 Installation Preparation for the Antenna Feeder System
GPS, as the clock and frequency reference of CDMA, is of great significance.
According to the passive distance measurement principles, GPS antenna receives the
navigation positioning signals from the GPS satellites and demodulates frequency and
clock signals through the GPS signal receiver for use by the related units of the CDMA
base station.
Requirements for the installation of the GPS antenna: The installation position of the
GPS antenna should have a broad view so that the GPS antenna can track satellites as
many as possible. Usually, select a safe place on the roof or at the lower part of the
tower and try to make the GPS feeder short to reduce attenuation.
Requirements for the lightning protection of the GPS antenna: Usually, the GPS
antenna is installed within the 45° lightning protection coverage of the tower. If it is not
within the coverage, the user is required to prepare and install the lightning arrester for
it.

12 Installing the Boards
Summary
This part describes:
Board types of BTS;
Installation and replacement methods of the BTS
boards;
Front panel and interface of some BTS boards;
Installation sequence of the BTS boards.
12.1 Board Types and Functions of BTS
Modules of the BTS are:
1. DSM
DSM (Data Service Module) lies in the BDS of the BTS. It implements the
trunking, data and signaling processing of Abis interface. It provides 16 E1 lines
externally. Eight are used to connect upstream BSC while other eight to connect
downstream BTS, which support the daisy chain networking mode and can also
function as E1 extension to connect upstream BSC. This board may also connect
to the transmission network to support SDH optical transmission connections.
2. CCM
CCM (Communication Control Module) is the control core for data signaling
routing, signaling processing, resources management and operation/maintenance
of the whole BDS subsystem in BSS.
3. CHM
CHM (Channel Processing Module) conducts modulation and demodulation of
various CDMA channels and implements some power control functions.
ZXC10-BTS (V5.4) Installation Manual
12-2
4. RIM
RIM (Radio Frequency Interface Module) implements the interface between
BDS and RFS. The forward link first sums the baseband data sent from CHM as
per different sectors, multiplexes the summation result, HDLC signaling and
PP2S from GCM, and then sends them to RMM. Then the reverse link receives
the reverse baseband data and HDLC signaling, selects them according to the
signaling sent from CCM, then sends the selected data by broadcasting to the
CHM and the HDLC data to the CCM for processing. RIM lies in the BDS
frame and supports active/standby configuration.
5. SAM
SAM (Site Alarm Module) monitors the running status of the PM and fans, as
well as access control, flood, temperature, humidity, and smog signals. It will
then report the results to the OMC console via CCM. In addition, it provides
RS232 and RS485 interfaces for the connections with external monitoring
devices.
6. GCM
GCM (GPS Control Module) provides reliable and high-stability clock source
for various modules of BTS. The major clocks include TOD (UTC timing
message), system clock (16CHIP and PP2S), circuit clock (2MB and 8K) and
RF reference clock (30M).
7. SNM
SNM lies in the BDS and implements STM-1 downlink and uplink functions for
BTS.
8. CDM
CDM (Clock Distribution Module) distributes the clock of GCM in BTSB to
TRX. The RF reference clock in BTSB is transmitted as the 30M MLVDS clock,
while TRX needs the 10M/12M analog clock. Therefore, CDM is used to
convert the 30M MLVDS clock sent from GCM to TTL signals and generate the
10M/12M analog clock needed by TRX in HIRS through the phase-lock loop.
9. RFE
Chapter

12-3
RFE module is the main module connecting the internal system of RFS in the
BTS and the external antenna of the BTS. Its terminal port is the RF port at the
top of the BTS and the test port of the BTS for system testing. It has great
influence on the receiving sensitivity and exit transmitting power of the whole
BTS system.
10. HPA
HPA (High Power Amplifier) amplifies the power of TRX’s forward
transmission signals so that the signals go through the duplex filter of RFE at a
proper power value and then transmitted by antenna into the cell. The CDMA
system requires that HPA should have certain linearity.
11. TRX
TRX is the junction connecting RF and baseband signals. One TRX corresponds
to one sector of one carrier. In the reverse channel, TRX receives the main and
diversity receiving signals of the sector, conducts down conversion, median
frequency filtering, AGC processing and I/Q demodulation on these signals to
convert the received modulated RF signals into baseband I/Q signals. In the
forward channel, TRX conducts I/Q modulation, median frequency filtering and
upward conversion on the baseband I/Q signals to convert them into modulated
RF signals, while also performing TPTL power control.
12. PSMD
PSMB is the main power board of the whole BTS.
13. PSMC
PSMC (±12V power) conducts DC/DC conversion from -48V to ±12V. The
max. output of +12V is 25A and that of -12V is 8A, both providing the RFS
with working power supply in the 1+1 backup mode. This module is also
available with the remote control and teleaction functions.
14. PPM
PPM (27V power board) conducts DC/DC conversion from -48V to +27V. It
has protection functions for input over/under voltage, output over/under voltage,
output over-current, and over-temperature. It employs the
temperature-controlled forced cooling structure and is also available with the
remote control and teleaction functions. Output current of one PPM is 25A.
ZXC10-BTS (V5.4) Installation Manual
12-4
When the load exceeds 25A, the board starts limiting current. The HPA is
provided with the working power supply by several 27V PPMs connected in
parallel to work in the N+1 backup mode.
12.2 Introduction to Main BTS Modules

8. For a building without a tower, the antenna feeder ground at the top should be
connected with the nearby lightning protection ground grid on the roof.
9. If the feeder employs a downward cable ladder to go along walls downward
from the building top and enters a room, the cable ladder should be grounded.
10. The ground wire of a feeder should be led from up to down. The separation
angle between the feeder and ground wire should be no more than 15
º
.
11. The cabling of the feeders should be visually appealing without crisscrossing.
They should be well arranged and have no apparent twists and turns. The feeders
entering a room should be tidy, flat, and straight and in the bending of the cables
should be identical. The main feeders are correctly connected and the sectors
concerned are correct too.

0.3m.
13. The cabling of the main feeders should be planned. When the cabinet front is
parallel to the direction in which a feeder enters a room or the cabinet back is
facing the direction in which a feeder enters a room, the main feeders within a
sector should be arranged as a row. The arrangement order of each row should
be consistent. When the cabinet front faces the direction in which a feeder enters
a room, one sector is arranged as a column and the arrangement order of each
column should be consistent.
14. The feeder connector should have no bare copper sheet. Two name labels should
be bound on both terminals of a feeder to ensure that feeders correspond to
antennas. Write corresponding lengths on a feeder name plate.
15. Avoid any dry joint in soldering GPS core wire.
16. GPS copper core and external outer layer cannot be short-circuited. The core pin
of a feeder connector should be parallel to the external end face of a GPS feeder
connector.

a jumper should be equipped with a waterproof bend.
13.15 Installation and Check of an Antenna
Requirements:
1. An antenna support and a tower should be connected in a reliable and firm way.
2. Check the model of the antenna in use to make sure that it conforms to
networking planning.
3. The hanging height of an antenna refers to the distance between the ground and
the middle of the antenna. It is required that the actual hanging height of an
antenna conforms to network planning, and the antenna should be installed as
designed.
4. The RF antenna and the GPS antenna should be included in the protection area
of a lightning arrester (the area within the downdip of 45º from the lightning
arrester).
5. Measure the azimuth of an antenna. In case of a unipolarization directional
antenna, each antenna should be measured. The actual azimuth of an antenna
conforms to network planning and two antennas within the same sector goes in
the same direction. The azimuth error of the directional antenna is no more than
±5º.
6. Measure the actual mechanical downdip of an antenna with an angulometer. In
case of a unipolarization antenna, each antenna should be measured. An omni
antenna will not be checked and a directional antenna should have the azimuth
error of no more than ±0.5º. The actual mechanical downdip of an antenna
conforms to network planning and two unipolarization antennas have consistent
downdip.
7. The electrically controlled pointer antenna is adjusted with a spanner, and the
electrically controlled digital antenna is controlled with key input in the
equipment room. Note that the control line connected with the antenna is
vulnerable. In the case it is broken, it has to be directly adjusted with a spanner

13-12
at the antenna terminal. Each of the unipolarization antennas should be
measured. The actual electrically controlled downdip of an antenna conforms to
network planning and two unipolarization antennas should have consistent
downdips. This is not required if it is not an electrically controlled antenna.
8. All antenna poles should be firmly installed and well grounded. All antenna
poles are required to be vertical to the ground and the vertical error should be
less than 2º.In particular, all antennas must be vertical to the ground. Check with
a line hammer to keep the vertical error less than 2º.
9. The receive/transmit horizontal interval of an omni antenna should be no less
than 3.5m.
10. An omni antenna should be at least 1.5m away from the tower while a
directional antenna should be at least 1m away from the tower.
11. The jacket top of an omni antenna should be level to a support or slightly higher
than the support top.
12. When an omni antenna is installed on a roof, the horizontal interval between the
omni antenna and antenna lightning arrester should be no less than 2.5m.
13. An omni antenna installed on a roof should avoid blind area.
14. Check the matching relationship of the main diversity antennas within the
sectors and the set top jumpers on the rack.
15. The diversity distance between two antennas within one sector refers to the
vertical distance between the parallel lines of the two antennas front surfaces. It
is not the distance between two antennas. Diversity distance is irrelevant to
bipolarization antenna. The diversity distance should be 3.5m for 800M system,
1.5m for 1.9G system, and 6.7m for 450M system.
16. The vertical interval between directional antennas within different sectors
installed on the same antenna support should be more than 0.6m.
17. When isolated from an antenna in G network, the vertical separation should be
more than 1m, and the horizontal separation should be more than 2m.
18. GPS antenna should be vertical, secure, in a position as low as possible, and
without barrier. The GPS spatial angle should be more than 90ºC.

19. When there is no tower, the GPS antenna should be installed on the building top
and equipped with a standalone lightning arrester.
13.16 Check of the Standing Wave Ratio of a Feeder
The standing wave ratio of a feeder is checked as follows:
1. Measure the standing wave ratio after antennas and all feeders are installed.
2. The terminal of the indoor 1/2" jumper to the rack is connected with a standing
wave ratio tester for testing. The standing wave ratio should be less than 1.5,
preferably 1.3.
3. Fill in a corresponding vswr value and provide vswr test-chart.
13.17 Check of Indoor/Outdoor Environment
The indoor/outdoor environment is checked as follows:
1. Any outdoor engineering waste should be cleaned. After the installation is over,
the outdoor work site should be recovered to what it was, without any cable
strap, stub, waste paper box, waste cable or waste plastic bag. The whole site
should be clean and tidy.
2. Put away indoor unused materials. The materials to be put in the equipment
room should be kept in order. Keep everything indoor clean and tidy. No
littering is allowed.
3. Under the raised floors at the rack bottom and around the rack, there should be
no cable strap, stub, desiccant and other engineering materials left.
4. The front door, rear door and side plate of the rack should be cleaned without
visible stains caused by hand touching. There should be no dirt inside and
outside the rack (dead angle) and inside the cabinet, there should be no cable
clip or sundries left.
5. There should be no fingerprint or other stains on the cabinet surface.

14 Power-on/Power-off
Summary
This part describes:
The check before BTS is powered on;
The power-on procedures of BTS;
The power-off procedures of BTS.
14.1 Check before Power-on
14.1.1 Check of External Connections of the rack
1. Check the power supply cables: check carefully to see whether the power cables
of DC connecting terminals on the set top are correctly connected. Make sure
that the poles are properly connected and screws are tightened.
2. Measure with a multimeter to see whether the voltage input on the DC power
distribution rack is within the allowable range (-40V~-57V). If not, check the
power system in the base station.
3. Make sure that T1 cables are correctly connected without insecure connections.
4. Check the antenna feeder system. Check with a standing wave ratio tester to see
whether the standing wave ratio of the antenna feeder is less than 1.5 (generally
less than 1.3). Feeder connectors should be well assembled and no feeder or
antenna is faulty.
5. Check whether cable labels are attached firmly, correctly and beautifully.
14.1.2 Check of Rack Inside
1. Open the front door of the rack to check whether the RF cables in the rack front
are correctly and firmly connected. Check whether connectors are connected
correctly and firmly according to the cable labels.

2. Unscrew 6 screws on the cover plate of the rack back and open it. According to
the cable labels on the back, check the cables for incorrect connections. Also
check the cables on the rack back for loose connections resulting from
loading/unloading, especially the internal cables between T1 cables, internal
connections of GPS and power cable plugs between power supply busbar on the
rack and the boards.
3. Check the DIP switches on the backplane for incorrect setting. According to
actual conditions, check the DIP switches on rear interface backplanes of the
shelves on the rack for incorrect setting. Refer to Appendix F “Description of
DIP Switches on the Backplane in a Base Station”.
14.2 Power-on Procedures
ZXC10-BTSB I2 is initially powered on as follows:
1. Keep boards partially seated in a shelf.
2. Make sure that the power switches of PSMD, PPM, PSMC, PSMB and HPA
inside a BTS rack and the fan layer are off.
3. Turn on the power supply outside the rack. If any abnormality is found, please
shut down the power supply immediately and check it. The rack will not be
powered on until the fault is removed.
4. Plug a PSMD power module into the voltage plane of the rack and turn on the
power switch of the power supply outside the rack. If any abnormality is found,
please immediately shut down the power supply and check it. The rack will not
be powered on until the fault is removed.
5. Turn on the general power switch on the power distribution module (PSMD) on
the rack voltage plane and observe the running of PSMD module. If the
indicator indicates the voltage of -48V, it shows that everything is normal. When
the fan is powered on, the PSMD front panel should give no alarm. If any
abnormality is found, please immediately shut down the power supply and check
it. The rack will not be powered on until the fault is removed.
6. Turn off the PSMD power module switch and plug in turn other power modules
into the rack voltage plane and the BDS layer.
