Grounding and surge protection requirements...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Grounding requirements

The BTS 4400 must be grounded with an integrated (multi-point) grounding system.The equipment is susceptible to lightning surges due to its association with towers andantennas. Therefore, it is imperative that the cell site be properly grounded and that alow-impedance path to earth be provided. The grounding conductors must be asstraight and short as possible. No sharp bends or loops are permitted in groundingconductors.

CAUTION

Warranty warning

The equipment warranty can be voided if the guidelines detailed in the NationalElectrical Code (NFPA 70), the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I (CSA C22.1), or thelocal electrical code in effect, as well as the Standard for Installation of LightningProtection System (NFPA 780) and Lucent Technologies 401-200-115 are not followed.

Antenna grounding and surge protection devices

Commercial AC power and T1/E1 facilities are susceptible to lightning surges andmust be properly protected. An appropriate surge protection device must be installed atthe service entry point and be directly connected to the grounding electrode system.

The RF and GPS antenna coaxial cables are also susceptible to lightning surges andmust be protected*.

A surge protection device must be installed between each antenna coaxial cable andjumper cable, at the point where the antenna cables enter the building. They can beobtained from Lucent Technologies (KS24577, L-3A for GPS and KS24577, L-4A forRF), or a Lucent-approved equivalent can be used.

The surge protectors must be bonded to a nearby ground bus bar that is connecteddirectly to the grounding electrode system at two points. The RF antenna cable shieldmust be bonded at the top of the tower next to the antenna, and at the bottom of thevertical run. If the tower is too high, the antenna cable shield must be bonded atapproximately 30 meter (100 ft) intervals.

The GPS antenna coaxial cable shield shall also be bonded at one point (minimum),near the equipment and/or hatchplate, before entering a building, provided the GPS

T1/E1 connections

The following figure is a simplified wiring diagram, which shows how to connect upto four T1/E1 lines from the telephone service to the BTS 4400.

BTS 4400

The BTS 4400 accepts up to eight T1/E1 lines (16 twisted pairs). Each T1/E1 linecontains two twisted pairs. A fully-configured site requires up to two T1/E1 cables andtwo Z-IDCs, so it can receive up to eight T1/E1 lines. (Each T1/E1 cable containseight twisted pairs and has a 25-pin, D-sub connector an one end). One Balun Block isrequired for each T1/E1 cable. (The Balun Block matches unbalanced 75-ohm coaxialcable with balanced, 120-ohm, twisted-pair cable.) Up to two T1/E1 clabes, each withan RJ-45 connector at one end, are needed to connect the Balun Block(s) to the Z-IDC

Installing the Balun Block...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Overview

The customer is responsible for matching the incoming facility 75-ohm, unbalancedcoaxial cable with the 120-ohm balanced, twisted-pair cable. Coaxial cable is matchedto twisted-pair cable with a Lucent Technologies Balun Block, or equivalent. TheBalun Block can match up to four T1/E1 lines (or eight coaxial cables). Two BalunBlocks are required for a fully-populated cabinet. A cable (which contains four T1/E1lines or eight twisted pairs), with an RJ-45 connector at one end, is needed to connectthe Balun Block to the Z-IDC punchdown block. There can be up to four T1/E1 linesin this cable. This cable and the Z-IDC punchdown block can be ordered from LucentTechnologies. Refer to the table below for punchdown and cable color codeinformation.

Scope

This section specifies the DC power and power system alarm interface requirementsfor the BTS 4400. Specifically DC power, DC feeder quantity, recommended DCfeeder wire gauge, and DC feeder circuit breaker type/rating. Some additionalinformation is included on power feeder connections and alarm connections to the BTS4400. This section provides information on the quality and characteristics of the DCpower to be supplied to the BTS 4400.

The power systems must provide rectification of commercial AC power to a nominal-48 VDC to power the modular assemblages and float charge the backup batteries. Thepower systems must provide uninterrupted DC power to the BTS 4400. In the event ofloss of AC input power, the power system must continue to provide DC power for theduration of the battery reserve.

The power system must be designed to support a fully configured BTS 4400 siteconsists of the following:

(1) Three-sector, four-carrier stand-alone BTS 4400 for all configurations.

(2) Three-sector, four-carrier stand-alone BTS 4400

Designing a system that cannot support the fully configured system will limit thepotential for future growth. This section is intended for use by a customer specifying, apower system, other than the standard Lucent Technologies power systems.

By meeting these requirements, all Lucent Technologies equipment referenced in thissection should meet their electrical and RF performance specifications.

Standard reference document

Lucent Technologies strongly recommends that the power system meet all applicablerequirements specified in the following documents. The appropriate requirements mustbe selected from the documents listed in the table below, based on the″country ofuse.″ In addition, adherence to all additional requirements mandated by the″country ofuse″ is the customer’s responsibility. The power system must meet the specified ULand FCC requirement documents in order for the BTS 4400 equipment to maintain itsUL and FCC compliance. The references listed in the table may be obtained from theissuing agency or their authorized distributors.

High voltage shutdown

The DC power source may shut down if the output voltage reaches the followingvalues:

Cabinet Maximum voltage range(Volts DC)

Maximum voltage forup to one second

-48 VDC -56.2 to -60 -60

Notes:

1. The DC power system shall not provide sustained voltage to the BTS 4400 at themaximum voltage values, for more than one second, as shown in the table above. If apower system failure occurs which causes loss of regulation resulting in voltage levelsgiven in the table above stated as the “maximum voltage range,” the power system shallshutdown or clamp its output voltage below -56.2 VDC (for -48 VDC systems) until theproblem is corrected.

Transient surge protection

The DC power system shall be designed to prevent surge transients at its input passingthrough to the output and causing voltage transient in excess of -60 Volts (for -48 VDCsystems) to the BTS 4400. Adequate transient surge protection shall be provided forthe DC feeders by running the feeders from the power system to equipment insideproperly grounded metallic conduit. In addition, surge protectors and/or surgesuppressors may be required to limit surge voltages to less than -60 VDC (for -48VDC systems). If external surge protection is required to meet this limit, it should beinstalled near the DC Terminal Block on the BTS 4400.

DC power grounding

The -48 VDC return conductors shall be bonded to the frame ground system at theoutput of the DC power system. For proper site grounding of the equipment, refer toLucent Technologies’Grounding and Lightning Protection Guidelines for LucentTechnologies Network Wireless System Cell Sites,401-200-115.

In certain RF configuration, this equipment must have the grounded supply conductor(DC Return) conductively connected to the chassis and ground.

The following instructions, marked on the product, must be followed:

• This equipment has a connection between the grounded conductor of the DCsupply circuit and the grounding conductor.

• This equipment shall be connected directly to the DC supply system groundingelectrode conductor or to a bonding jumper from a grounding terminal bar or busto which the DC supply system grounding electrode conductor is connected.



...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................


401-703-445Issue 1, May 2006

• This equipment shall be located in the same immediate area (such as, adjacentcabinets) as any other equipment that has a connection between the groundedconductor of the same DC supply circuit and the grounding conductor, and also thepoint of grounding of the DC system. The DC system shall not be groundedelsewhere.

• The DC supply source is to be located within the same premises as this equipment.

• There shall be no switching or disconnecting devices in the grounded circuitconductor between the DC source and the point of connection of the groundingelectrode conductor.

DC power system alarms

Each alarm generated by the power system shall be provided by a set of isolated dryrelay contacts, an “alarm state” may be indicated by a “closed circuit” or an “opencircuit.” If an alarm condition is indicated by a “closed circuit,” the DC power systemalarm contacts shall present a contact closure when the alarm circuit fails or loosespower. If an alarm condition is indicated by a “open circuit,” the DC power systemalarm contacts shall present an “open circuit” when the alarm circuit fails or loosespower. The resistance of a “closed circuit” shall be less than 100 ohms. The resistanceof an “open circuit” shall be greater than 1 megohm. The table on the next page alsoprovides the standard power system alarm assignments and connection points for theBTS 4400.

The radio configuration can have eight power alarms.

All alarms will be punched down at Z-IDC punchdown blocks external to the BTS4400. The Z-IDC accepts 24 AWG, solid, tinned twisted pair cables. Alarms arereported to the BTS 4400 from Z-IDC blocks through a twisted pair cable duringinstallation.

The BTS 4400 software configuration must be programmed to report an “open circuit”or “closed circuit” for an alarm condition. (The BTS 4400 software is configured for a″contact closure″ for power system alarms. A software change to the User Alarmdefinitions is required to announce a power system an “open circuit” as an alarmcondition). Therefore, each specific power alarm function maintains its identitythroughout the network and cannot be used for any other purpose.

The following table lists a minimum set of alarm functions provided, which alert andannounce power system failures. The following table shows the power alarm punchdown on the Z-IDC block.

Important! If the DC power system does not support some of the alarms asdescribed below, it is strongly recommended that the customer do not connectalarms for different equipment to these user alarms. Because these power alarms

GPS antenna installation (general)...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Site selection

The GPS antenna installation site should be selected such that the maximum aggregateof all blockages above the 10-degree mask angle, such as buildings or mountains, doesnot exceed 25% of the surface area of a hemisphere around the GPS antenna. Thisblockage should not be in one contiguous quadrant of the hemisphere. Eachcontiguously 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 mayaccumulate or shed snow or ice.

It is desirable that the antenna has the clearest view to the south, east, and west inthe northern hemisphere and to the north, east, and west in the southernhemisphere.

Obstructions and interference

The following types of obstructions and possible sources of interference need to beconsidered:

• 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 skyobstruction.

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

• Any co-located RF transmission antennas, TV stations, cable television cables, orarc-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 duringperiods of heavy rain or snow. Consider if increased summer plant life could alsobecome a problem.

• If a GPS antenna is mounted to a monopole antenna mast, it must be mounted aminimum distance (D) from the monopole such that less than 12.5% of acontiguous surface area of a hemisphere around the antenna is blocked by themonopole. 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 GPSantenna), 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 beconsidered, and constitutes a contiguous 12.5% blockage of the sky. This conditionwould constitute a contiguous blockage in one quadrant of the hemisphere.

RF interference considerations...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

RF interference considerations

The GPS antenna installation site should be chosen such that it is not in a directradiation pattern of the cell site transmit antennas, and situated such that no otherantennas, microwave transmit dishes, and other sources of RF radiation that couldaffect GPS reception are in close proximity. The GPS antenna should not be locatedwithin 10 feet horizontally and 10 feet vertically from any actively transmittingantenna.

Lightning interference consideration...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Lightning considerations

Industry standard practices for lightning protection should be followed for GPS antennainstallations. Several sources for such information are:

• Lucent Technologies Cell Site Grounding and Lightning Protection Guidelines(401-200-115)

• National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) “Lightning Protection Code # 78”

• Poly Phaser Corporation “The “Grounds” for Lightning and EMP Protection”Second Edition by Roger R. Block.

The GPS antenna should be installed such that it is not the highest point in aninstallation (The GPS antenna must not be a lightning rod!). The GPS antenna must bewithin the “protective cone” (see Figure on the following page) of any groundedstructure such as an antenna tower or ancillary lightning rod. The “protective cone” isthe area between the circumference of a circle with a 150-foot radius that tangentiallytouches the ground and the side or top of a grounded structure and the ground orstructure.

Protective cone installation

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

D-5

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-footpoint, then horizontal lightning rods must be employed such that the antenna is withinthe area of a 150-foot sphere that touches both lightning rods, as shown in thefollowing diagram.

In addition, the antenna coaxial cable shield shall also be bonded at one pointminimum near the equipment and / or hatchplate, provided that the GPS antenna isinstalled in the zone of protection with short (less than 60 feet) coaxial cable.

Important! If the coaxial cable run along the tower is more than 60 feet, thencoaxial cable shiled is to be grounded at multiple points near the antenna andequipment and / or hatchplate and at every 100 feet interval.

If the GPS antenna is mounted on a separate pole or structure of height (H) near anantenna tower or other grounded structure, and the distance (D) from the pole orstructure to the tower or other grounded structure is less than the height of the poledivided by six (H/6), then the pole or structure and the antenna tower must be bondedtogether 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).

Active GPS antenna Standard Wave Ratio (SWR) test...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

SWR test

The RF signals from the GPS satellites are extremely low-level microwave signals thatmust reach the RFTG with minimal distortion and loss. To verify the RF integrity ofthe complete antenna and cable system, a Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) orDistance-to-Fault (DTF) test should be performed.

Since the GPS antenna is an active device, a standard SWR or DTF test setup cannotbe used. A Bias-T must be employed to inject + 5 VDC into the RF line to power theantenna’s Low Noise Amplifier (see Figure below).

Calibrate the Wiltron as shown and per the manufacturer’s instructions. Perform theSWR or DTF measurement as shown and per the manufacturer’s instructions. Recordthe MAX SWR indicated and/or DTF data. If it MAX SWR is greater than 2.5, thefault must be repaired and the antenna and cable retested.

Important! The antenna will meet it’s specified SWR only when powered in thisway.
