For the Power plant dimensioning, take into account the DC power
consumption of the BTS 6000 without heaters (Table 15 and Table 18)
and add average heaters consumption (Table 21).
Take into account that the heater consumption depends on the ambient
temperature on site for batteries backup dimensioning. Hereafter are
given tables to get the average power consumption of heaters regarding
temperature:

April 9, 2009

Take into account that the heaters max. consumption for rectifiers
dimensioning (worth case to avoid rectifiers overload): 1800 W at -57
Vdc.
Example of a DC Power Plant Dimensioning:
Battery backup Dimensioning:
Inputs: 3 hours of backup-time, BTS 6000 RM1 900 40/40 in S111
configuration with ICM redundancy and user space.
Consumption = 1240 W with temperature in the site area is more or
equal to -17C, it gives the average DC consumption for the heaters of
500 W.
- Total power consumption calculation for 3 hours of backup time:
(1240 + 500) x 3 => 5220 Wh
5220 / 48 => 110 Ah
Batteries to be choose in the example, must have a minimum capacity of
110 Ah under -48V
Rectifiers Dimensioning:
Inputs: Same data as above but with the heater consumption taken at
the maximum: 1800W (worth case to avoid rectifiers overload).
Charging battery current taken at 1/10 of total capacity: 110/10=11 A

- Rectifier dimensioning calculation:


BTS 6000 Consumption + Maximum heater consumption +
Charging battery Power
= 1240 + 1800 + (11 x 48) = 3568 W
Rectifiers to choose for this example, must be able to provide at least
3568 W.

Method 06-8035

Site Requirements

4.4.1 Site Access


Once a site has been selected, access conditions should be evaluated to
determine whether the cabinet should be delivered populated (easyaccess site) or depopulated (difficult-access site).
The access conditions must comply with cabinet dimensions and the
available moving equipment.
The packaging can be removed to get over an obstacle (door or
staircase...) but keep some protection of the BTS 6000 (Antistatic bag or
vapor barrier or blanket...)
4.4.1.1 Easy Access Site Characteristics

The site access conditions allow the mechanical handling of a


populated cabinet throughout the distance separating the delivery
point from the mounting location without manual carrying.
The mechanical means used to carry and/or hoist the fully populated
cabinet (e.g. dolly system, elevator...) must be qualified to bear the
fully populated cabinet weight (208kg/ 459lb - worth case including
pallet) in compliance with standard security requirements.
4.4.1.2 Difficult Access Site Characteristics

For this type of site, mechanical means cannot cover the entire
delivery to mounting location distance; part of the way (as small as it
might be) requires manual carrying. As a consequence, the cabinet
can be depopulated to reduce its weight and height (to be manually
carried via a Sling Assembly).
Even though the cabinet can be carried manually, the maximum use
of mechanical means is encouraged to enhance the safety and security
of both staff and equipment.
4.4.2 Cabinet Handling
The BTS 6000 cabinets are delivered upright with a corrugated
cardboard sleeve on a wooden pallet in case of road transport. They are
delivered lying in plywood crates in case of air and sea transports. In all
cases, the specific packing allows their handling by means of a fork-lift
truck.
The equipment should be unpacked as close as possible to their precise
mounting location.
The path from the delivery point to the mounting location should be
clear of any obstacles.

The cabinet can be carried either in vertical or horizontal position (in


populated or depopulated configuration.
4.4.2.1 Lifting

The populated BTS cabinet must be handled with mechanical devices


(the cabinet may only be guided manually during lift-off or during final
positioning, provided that basic safety rules are observed by the
personnel).
The cabinets are hoisted with 4 lifting eyes M10 type (delivered with
M10-M8 cross-arm spacers), by a lifting vehicle suited to the cabinet
weight and to the site characteristics (height, jib).
Since the hoisting operation with a lifting vehicle is designed to position
the cabinet directly on its mounting support, the access conditions of the
lifting vehicle are extremely important and obviously, the mounting
support, if needed, should be installed before hand.
In case of outdoor hoisting with a jib crane, the parameters to take into
account are:
Floor mechanical resistance.
Height of the building.
Width of the building.
Width of the street.
Width of pavements / sidewalks.
Natural obstacles.
Safety requirements for the hoisting operation.
All other handling methods must be specified and validated if required
by the project.
A specific manual moving by 4 installers (mover profile) or a specific
mechanical moving by 2 installers means is needed to install this BTS
6000.
The empty cabinet can be carried by 4 installers (mover profile).
BTS 6000 can be lifted by the bottom of the plinth if needed.
4.4.2.2 Horizontal Moving

A standard forklift/dolly is used to move the cabinet, secured to its


wooden pallet.
The path should be clear of obstacles (gravel, cable way, conduits...).

In case of raised floor installation (indoor site), all raised floor supports
must be earth equipotentialized and in seismic regions, cabinets are
installed on the same metallic support with additional vibration
absorbers.
4.4.3.1 Resistance

In accordance to cabinet weight and door opening, the minimum floor


resistance should be:
AC model: 400 kg/m, 82 lb./ft..
DC model: 350 kg/m, 72 lb./ft..
If needed, a load-spreading structure should be studied in
compliance with the maximum floor resistance allowed by the
supporting surface and the type of mounting interface chosen to
install the cabinets (I-Beams, customer frame...).
4.4.3.2 Floor Flatness

The BTS 6000 must be installed on a level floor surface. The maximum
tolerance for floor flatness is 5mm over 2m (~ 0.2 over 78). In other
words, the vertical tolerance shall not exceed 5mm over a 2m horizontal
length.
If the floor does not respect this maximum tolerance, the cabinet once
installed may be twisted and the cabinet door might be impossible to
open, cabinet watertightness along the front doors shall not be
guaranteed.
The check of the level floor is achieved with magnetic level including a
protractor vial or wedge. The three axis must be checked: depth, width
and diagonal.

4.4.6 Site Dimensioning Rules
The criteria governing the size of the site are:
the cabinet dimensions and the distance constraint,
the relative positions of cabinets (Site layout),
cabinets orientation in outdoor site, with respect to exposure to winds/
sun and possible nuisance caused to the neighborhood (noise).
the input constraint of cables.
Each site may be constituted from 1 up to 3 BTS 6000 cabinets.
4.4.6.1 Cabinet Dimensions and Distance Constraints

The clearances considers the clean surface which is the minimum


surface required to install the cabinets on site, and allow the different
field technicians to move along the cabinets when installing or servicing
them.
The BTS 6000 cabinet requires full access to the cabinet's front for
securing and routine maintenance. Cabling access bulkheads are
available on the front side of the cabinet.
The BTS 6000 cabinet installation has to respect the following rules in
terms of layout for installation, maintenance, cooling and security
purposes:
100 mm of space on the sides and on the back of the cabinet,
600 mm of space on the front of the cabinets when the door is opened.
Note: When using a CPRIPRO2 in the base cabinet plinth of the BTS,
it is suggested to leave sufficient room on the right-hand side for
technician access to the assembly (see Table 24).
The clean surfaces are described in the given sample layouts with
opened door (see Figure 16).

to access for installing or maintaining the CPRIPRO2,
to have a sufficient air flow for cooling,
to open door at 120.
4.4.6.2 BTS 6000 Wall Mounting Constraints

When using the bottom access port for cabling, the BTS should be
installed at a height of 600 mm (23.6 in) minimum from the floor for
cable clearance.When using the side access of the plinth, the 600mm of
clearance can be reduced as necessary, but if possible, we recommend
to keep this clearance for man access to the BTS.
A distance of 100mm must be respected on the BTS sides (when not
used for cabling or access to CPRIPRO2 and in order to allow a correct
cooling of the BTS) and on the top (for maintenance purposes or to ease
the BTS fixing on the frame).

The telecommunication network is 120 E1 or 100 T1, in that case
the only equipment necessary to ensure the PCM connection between
the DF and the BTS is the PCM cable.
The telecommunication network is E1 75 , in that case, as the BTS
works in 120 , it is necessary to ensure an adaptation from the BTSs
120 to the customer networks 75 . As a consequence, the PCM
cable should be equipped with Mini-Baluns, and the DF should be
able to receive it.
1 type of cable is supplied according to the site configuration E1 or T1:
4 Twisted pairs 120 E1 PCM cable (+ balun 75 if E1 75 ).
or 4 Twisted pairs 100 T1 PCM cable.
The maximum recommended cabling path distance between the BTS
6000 cabinet and the DDF is < 16m (52.5ft) with the IRM kit (Standard
length of the cables provided with the cabinet).
Nevertheless, the maximum distance of the cabling path between the
cabinet and the transmission equipment should not exceed the value
listed in Table 25.

engineering studies by trained staff.
For BTS 6000, non-diversity is technically possible for the reception.
Feeders are used to establish the RF link between the BTS 6000 and the
antennae. The feeders are left in cable tray, near the radio cabinet, ready
to be connected. A female 7/16 connector equips each feeder end.
The feeder interconnections shall comply with outdoor constraints
(waterproofing...).
On the BTS side, the feeders should arrive as close as possible to the
BTS cabinet mounting location (the number of feeders depends on the
configuration type) and it is recommended to use the jumpers between
the BTS and feeders in order:
To allow an easier installation: depends on the size of feeder used, it
might be very difficult to position correctly the feeder in front of the
RF connector on BTS side.
To avoid excessive efforts on the RF connector on the BTS side: risk
to damage the connectors.
To allow easier maintenance operation.
The RF jumpers are defined as an option. The minimum bending radius
must comply with the height of the space available below the BTS 6000
cabinet (plinth).
The jumper connector to plug into the BTS 6000 radio bulkhead must be
straight, Male, DIN 7/16 for a key 32mm (hexagonal head).
The Cable used for feeder should have a maximum attenuation of 3dB
at frequency used band.

Method 06-8035

April 9, 2009

In all cases, network designer must be informed about the end to


end attenuation measured at the end of the installation: it might be
necessary to modify parameters at the OMC-R.
In case of site with dual band configuration, label the feeders with a
specific marking for each frequency band.
4.5.4 Lightning Protection
All the site must be protected against direct lightning strikes.
The site must be equipped with a lightning conductor on top.
For lightning protection it is important that the radio lines from the
antennas to the cabinet are regularly grounded with dedicated grounding
kits. (refer to Figure 31).

The antenna ports of the cabinet can be protected with a -wave surge
arrestor (optional).
Note: In order to be compliant with North American installation rules,
the waves must be put on the RF outputs in GSM BTS 6000
cabinet when the GSM site does not have the same devices of
protection between the BTS cabinet and GSM antennae.
The cabinet also includes a surge arrestor for induced current surge on
the AC Main power supply.

Method 06-8035

The RF jumpers are not provided with the BTS 6000, these cables are
defined as optional IRM kits, refer to IM-10-7958 GSM BTS 6000
IRM Kits (Ancillaries) Definition - CE Compliant Only.
The antenna feeders arrive as close as possible to the BTS cabinet
mounting location, the BTS 6000 should be connected to the feeders via
RF jumpers. The interconnection between the feeders and jumpers is
done outside of the plinth and the minimum bending radius should
comply with the space available inside the plinth.
The number of feeders depends on the combiner type and on the number
of sectors.
The feeder interconnections shall comply with outdoor constraints
(waterproofing,...).
The radio feeders are coming from the antenna mast, they must be
protected at the ground level by a metallic cable tray (to avoid damage
possibly caused by ice blocks falling from the top of the mast).
The jumper connector should be straight, Male, DIN 7/16 for a key
32mm (hexagonal head).

Terms
Depopulated: Cabinet partially equipped.
Difficult access site: For this type of site, mechanical means cannot
cover the entire delivery truck to mounting location distance. Part of the
way (as small it might be) requires manual carrying.
Easy access site: No manual carrying is required to set the populated
cabinet onto its mounting location.
Optimized operational temperature range: The temperature range
prevailing in most populated areas of the world. Temperature above and
below this range, fall into areas of low non-existent population, or into
the category of one time only recorded extremes.
Populated: Fully equipped cabinet.
Total operational temperature range: The BTS will perform at both
extreme temperatures, however:
at low extremes, the electrical supply requirements of the BTS site
increases.
at high extreme, may result in early failure of temperature dependent
modules and/or components. The sound power by the BTS increases.

Appendix B Characteristic of AC and DC cable gland


The DC cable glands are designed for inserting a screened cable into a
BTS, and at the same time serve for connecting an electrical protective
hose which is to protect the cable against environmental influences and
damage.
The pressure screw of the cable gland has been modified so that a special
electrical protective hose can be connected to an integrated hose
connection socket.
The outer sheath is removed at the level of the spring in the cable gland.
When the pressure screw is tightened, the sealing insert presses onto two
cones between which the annular spiral spring is located. This spring
ring thus tapers in its internal diameter when screwed in and is pressed
and the naked line screen that is to be stripped beforehand.
The screened braid is bonded on its entire circumference (360). The
result is a low-ohmic conductive connection between the screen gland
and housing.
The UL protective hose is screwed self-locking onto the spiral of the UL
protective hose. The winding on the hose socket fits the support spiral in
the UL protective hose.
