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 and
antennas. Therefore, it is imperative that the cell site be properly grounded and that a
low-impedance path to earth be provided. The grounding conductors must be as
straight and short as possible. No sharp bends or loops are permitted in grounding
conductors.
CAUTION
Warranty warning
The equipment warranty can be voided if the guidelines detailed in the National
Electrical Code (NFPA 70), the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I (CSA C22.1), or the
local electrical code in effect, as well as the Standard for Installation of Lightning
Protection 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 and
must be properly protected. An appropriate surge protection device must be installed at
the 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 and
must be protected*.
A surge protection device must be installed between each antenna coaxial cable and
jumper cable, at the point where the antenna cables enter the building. They can be
obtained from Lucent Technologies (KS24577, L-3A for GPS and KS24577, L-4A for
RF), or a Lucent-approved equivalent can be used.
The surge protectors must be bonded to a nearby ground bus bar that is connected
directly to the grounding electrode system at two points. The RF antenna cable shield
must be bonded at the top of the tower next to the antenna, and at the bottom of the
vertical run. If the tower is too high, the antenna cable shield must be bonded at
approximately 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
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
401-703-445
Issue 1, May 2006
7-2
antenna is installed in a Zone of protection with short [18 meter (60 ft) or shorter]
coaxial cable.
Important! If the GPS coaxial run along the tower is more than 60 feet / 18
meters, then the coaxial cable shields to be grounded at multiple points near the
antenna and equipment and/or hatchplate at 30 meter (100 ft) intervals.
The tower or metallic support for the antenna must also be bonded to the grounding
electrode system.
* RF surge protection is not required if Dual Duplex filters are used. However, the
customer may install RF surge protectors, if required by local or national code.
In the United States, refer to Article 800 of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, for
selection and installation of the surge protector.
In Canada, refer to Section 60 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA C22.1 for
selection and installation of the surge protector.
The following diagram shows a typical antenna grounding and surge protector
installation.

Grounding electrode system requirements
BTS 4400 sites must be equipped with a grounding electrode system. The cell site
grounding, including all cabinets and antenna cable shields, must be bonded to the
grounding electrode system.
The grounding electrode system shall be installed as part of site preparation with a
sufficient number of pigtails. Electrically conductive materials in the vicinity, that are
likely to become energized, must be connected together and to the grounding electrode
system in a manner that establishes an effective ground-fault current path.
Buried ground conductors must be, at a minimum, 35 mm2 (2 AWG) bare, solid, tinned
copper wire. Exterior ground conductors must be, at a minimum, 35 mm2 (2 AWG)
either solid, bare, tinned copper or stranded, insulated (outdoor insulation to be
sunlight-resistant) copper cable. The interior ground cable shall be, at a minimum, 16
mm2 (6 AWG) stranded copper with green insulation type THWN or equivalent.
Halo and supplementary grounding system
For indoor applications, a halo grounding system must be installed with the appropriate
number of down conductors with non-directional splices. A sufficient number of
pigtails (6 AWG, stranded copper) shall be provided to bond miscellaneous metallic
objects (such as Z-IDC mounting bracket, etc.).
Supplementary grounding conductor (2 AWG, stranded copper) shall be installed on the
top of the ladder rack with sufficient pigtails (6 AWG, stranded copper) for bonding

General
facilities requirements
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Each BTS 4400 can accept up to eight T1/E1 lines (16 pairs). The T1/E1 facilities
must be in place prior to installation of the BTS 4400. As part of site preparation, the
service provider is required to supply and install the appropriate primary surge
protector devices at the Network Interface Unit (NIU)at the building entrance.
Important! In the United States, refer to Article 800 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, for selection and installation of the primary protector. In
Canada, refer to Section 60 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA C22.1 for
selection and installation of the primary protector.
The BTS 4400 accepts balanced 120-ohm, twisted pair T1/E1 lines. If required, a
Balun Block can be installed at the NIU to match unbalanced 75-ohm, coaxial cable
with balanced 120-ohm, twisted-pair cable. Each Balun Block can support up to four
T1/E1 lines.
10-position Z-IDC punchdown blocks are used to terminate the T1/E1 and user/power
alarm cables. The Z-IDC punchdown blocks receive twisted-pair cable, which contains
solid, 24 AWG wire conductors.
A Z-IDC punchdown tool (available from CommScope: Z-IDC-WT1 or Krone:
LSA-Plus) is required for punching down the twisted-pair cables at the Z-IDC
punchdown block.
10-position Z-IDC punchdown blocks are used to terminate the T1/E1 and user/power

A Z-IDC punchdown tool (available from CommScope: Z-IDC-WT1 or Krone:
LSA-Plus) is required for punching down twisted-pair cable at the Z-IDC punchdown
block.
In indoor applications, Z-IDC punchdown blocks are installed as part of site
preparation. The Z-IDC punchdown block must be located not more than 10 meters
from the BTS 4400. The following figure shows the Z-IDC punchdown blocks on the
mounting bracket.

If present, the Balun Block can be connected to the Z-IDC punchdown block with
twisted-pair cable (up to 10 ft long). Twisted-pair cables are equipped with an RJ-45
connector at one end. There are four T1/E1 lines in an eight twisted-pair cable.
The Z-IDC punchdown block, mounting bracket, and Balun Block can be purchased
from Lucent Technologies.
Z-IDC punchdown blocks at NIU
The NIU is installed as part of site preparation and contains the Z-IDC blocks. The
Z-IDC blocks interface the T1/E1, power alarm, and user alarm cables with the
telephone network and power system.
The Z-IDC accepts twisted-pair, 24 AWG, solid, tinned copper wire.
The following diagram shows the terminals on the Z-IDC punchdown blocks, as
viewed from the front. One twisted-wire pair is assigned to each position.

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

power 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. The
power systems must provide uninterrupted DC power to the BTS 4400. In the event of
loss of AC input power, the power system must continue to provide DC power for the
duration of the battery reserve.
The power system must be designed to support a fully configured BTS 4400 site
consists 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 the
potential for future growth. This section is intended for use by a customer specifying, a
power system, other than the standard Lucent Technologies power systems.
By meeting these requirements, all Lucent Technologies equipment referenced in this
section should meet their electrical and RF performance specifications.
Standard reference document
Lucent Technologies strongly recommends that the power system meet all applicable
requirements specified in the following documents. The appropriate requirements must
be selected from the documents listed in the table below, based on the country of
use. In addition, adherence to all additional requirements mandated by the country of
use is the customers responsibility. The power system must meet the specified UL
and FCC requirement documents in order for the BTS 4400 equipment to maintain its
UL and FCC compliance. The references listed in the table may be obtained from the
issuing agency or their authorized distributors.

values:
Cabinet
Maximum voltage range

(Volts DC)
Maximum voltage for

up 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 the
maximum voltage values, for more than one second, as shown in the table above. If a
power system failure occurs which causes loss of regulation resulting in voltage levels
given in the table above stated as the maximum voltage range, the power system shall
shutdown or clamp its output voltage below -56.2 VDC (for -48 VDC systems) until the
problem is corrected.
Transient surge protection
The DC power system shall be designed to prevent surge transients at its input passing
through to the output and causing voltage transient in excess of -60 Volts (for -48 VDC
systems) to the BTS 4400. Adequate transient surge protection shall be provided for
the DC feeders by running the feeders from the power system to equipment inside
properly grounded metallic conduit. In addition, surge protectors and/or surge
suppressors may be required to limit surge voltages to less than -60 VDC (for -48
VDC systems). If external surge protection is required to meet this limit, it should be
installed 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 the
output of the DC power system. For proper site grounding of the equipment, refer to
Lucent Technologies Grounding and Lightning Protection Guidelines for Lucent
Technologies 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 DC

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

system
This equipment shall be located in the same immediate area (such as, adjacent
cabinets) as any other equipment that has a connection between the grounded
conductor of the same DC supply circuit and the grounding conductor, and also the
point of grounding of the DC system. The DC system shall not be grounded
elsewhere.
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 circuit
conductor between the DC source and the point of connection of the grounding
electrode conductor.
DC power system alarms
Each alarm generated by the power system shall be provided by a set of isolated dry
relay contacts, an alarm state may be indicated by a closed circuit or an open
circuit. If an alarm condition is indicated by a closed circuit, the DC power system
alarm contacts shall present a contact closure when the alarm circuit fails or looses
power. If an alarm condition is indicated by a open circuit, the DC power system
alarm contacts shall present an open circuit when the alarm circuit fails or looses
power. The resistance of a closed circuit shall be less than 100 ohms. The resistance
of an open circuit shall be greater than 1 megohm. The table on the next page also
provides the standard power system alarm assignments and connection points for the
BTS 4400.
The radio configuration can have eight power alarms.
All alarms will be punched down at Z-IDC punchdown blocks external to the BTS
4400. The Z-IDC accepts 24 AWG, solid, tinned twisted pair cables. Alarms are
reported to the BTS 4400 from Z-IDC blocks through a twisted pair cable during
installation.
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 Alarm
definitions is required to announce a power system an open circuit as an alarm
condition). Therefore, each specific power alarm function maintains its identity
throughout the network and cannot be used for any other purpose.
The following table lists a minimum set of alarm functions provided, which alert and
announce power system failures. The following table shows the power alarm punch
down on the Z-IDC block.
Important! If the DC power system does not support some of the alarms as
described below, it is strongly recommended that the customer do not connect
alarms for different equipment to these user alarms. Because these power alarms

antenna installation (general)
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Site selection
The GPS antenna installation site should be selected such that the maximum aggregate
of all blockages above the 10-degree mask angle, such as buildings or mountains, does
not exceed 25% of the surface area of a hemisphere around the GPS antenna. This
blockage should not be in one contiguous quadrant of the hemisphere. Each
contiguously blocked quadrant should be less than 12.5% of the spheres surface area.
The following diagram shows the mask angle definition for the GPS antenna.
10
10
10Mask Angle
Important! Do not install the GPS antenna directly under structures that may
accumulate or shed snow or ice.
It is desirable that the antenna has the clearest view to the south, east, and west in
the northern hemisphere and to the north, east, and west in the southern
hemisphere.
Obstructions and interference
The following types of obstructions and possible sources of interference need to be

considered:
Hills, mountains, trees and surrounding plant life.

Adjacent buildings or any large sky obstructing structures such as grain elevators,
airplane hangers, bridges, overhead roadways, etc.
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
401-703-445
Issue 1, May 2006
D-2
Water towers or any close range large metal objects that could cause excessive sky
obstruction.
Any locations where birds or animals may easily nest or build on or around the
antenna.
Any co-located RF transmission antennas, TV stations, cable television cables, or
arc-welding equipment.
High-voltage lines will not cause interference with GPS signal reception.
Self-supporting or guyed towers will generally not block the GPS signal.
Trees do not totally block but rather degrade GPS reception, especially during
periods of heavy rain or snow. Consider if increased summer plant life could also
become a problem.
If a GPS antenna is mounted to a monopole antenna mast, it must be mounted a
minimum distance (D) from the monopole such that less than 12.5% of a
contiguous surface area of a hemisphere around the antenna is blocked by the
monopole. The GPS antenna must be spaced a minimum distance D = 1.61 x R
(where R is the radius of the monopole at the attachment point of the GPS
antenna), from the outside surface of the monopole.
Example:
Monopole radius (inches) R = 12

D = (1.61 x 12) D = 19.3 minimum
This example assumes, of course, that the monopole is the only obstruction to be
considered, and constitutes a contiguous 12.5% blockage of the sky. This condition
would constitute a contiguous blockage in one quadrant of the hemisphere.

RF
interference considerations
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The GPS antenna installation site should be chosen such that it is not in a direct
radiation pattern of the cell site transmit antennas, and situated such that no other
antennas, microwave transmit dishes, and other sources of RF radiation that could
affect GPS reception are in close proximity. The GPS antenna should not be located
within 10 feet horizontally and 10 feet vertically from any actively transmitting
antenna.

Lightning
interference consideration
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Lightning considerations
Industry standard practices for lightning protection should be followed for GPS antenna
installations. 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 an
installation (The GPS antenna must not be a lightning rod!). The GPS antenna must be
within the protective cone (see Figure on the following page) of any grounded
structure such as an antenna tower or ancillary lightning rod. The protective cone is
the area between the circumference of a circle with a 150-foot radius that tangentially
touches the ground and the side or top of a grounded structure and the ground or
structure.
Protective cone installation
The following diagram shows the GPS antenna installed within the protective cone.

Lightning rod installation
If the GPS antenna is mounted to the side of an antenna tower above the 150-foot
point, then horizontal lightning rods must be employed such that the antenna is within
the area of a 150-foot sphere that touches both lightning rods, as shown in the
following diagram.

In addition, the antenna coaxial cable shield shall also be bonded at one point
minimum near the equipment and / or hatchplate, provided that the GPS antenna is
installed 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, then
coaxial cable shiled is to be grounded at multiple points near the antenna and
equipment and / or hatchplate and at every 100 feet interval.
Preventing Arc-over between structures and antenna
If the GPS antenna is mounted on a separate pole or structure of height (H) near an
antenna tower or other grounded structure, and the distance (D) from the pole or
structure to the tower or other grounded structure is less than the height of the pole
divided by six (H/6), then the pole or structure and the antenna tower must be bonded
together eliminate possible arc over during a lightning strike.
Example:
If the pole is 50 feet tall, then D=8.3 feet. (50/6 = 8.3).

Active
GPS antenna Standard Wave Ratio (SWR) test
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
SWR test
The RF signals from the GPS satellites are extremely low-level microwave signals that
must reach the RFTG with minimal distortion and loss. To verify the RF integrity of
the complete antenna and cable system, a Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) or
Distance-to-Fault (DTF) test should be performed.
Since the GPS antenna is an active device, a standard SWR or DTF test setup cannot
be used. A Bias-T must be employed to inject + 5 VDC into the RF line to power the
antennas Low Noise Amplifier (see Figure below).
Calibrate the Wiltron as shown and per the manufacturers instructions. Perform the
SWR or DTF measurement as shown and per the manufacturers instructions. Record
the MAX SWR indicated and/or DTF data. If it MAX SWR is greater than 2.5, the
fault must be repaired and the antenna and cable retested.
Important! The antenna will meet its specified SWR only when powered in this
way.
