When the PLMN has been successfully registered in the MS, the PLMN identity is stored on the

SIM card.

A single band 900 MS must investigate at least the 30 strongest RF channels in GSM
900 that were discovered during the scan.
A dual band 900/1800 MS must investigate at least the 30 strongest RF channels in
GSM 900 plus the 40 strongest RF channels for GSM 1800 that were discovered during
the scan.

An MS goes into lack of coverage when

the C1 criterion of the cell the MS is camping on falls below zero for a period of time
equal to or greater than 5 seconds.

EF HPLMN minutes may be stored in the SIM by the service provider. EF

HPLMN is either in the range 6 minutes to 8 hours in 6-minute steps.

If no value is stored in the SIM, a default value of 30

minutes is used. Only the service provider is allowed to set the EF HPLMN value.

After switch on, a period of at least 2 minutes and at most EF HPLMN minutes shall
elapse before the first attempt is made.

Once an MS has registered in a PLMN of a foreign operator it must first loose

coverage from that PLMN before attempting to register in its HPLMN.

National roaming is allowed and activated on a LA basis.

It must be stressed that roaming is done while the mobile is in idle mode

Normally the voltage per cell is set at 2.23 V (Total float voltage is 53.5V) and boost charge volt is
set at 2.3 V per cell (55.2 V).

The temperature compensation factor is 3 mV per cell oC rise from ambient temperature of
27oC.

The actual capacity corrected to 27o C shall not be less than 90 % of the rated capacity.

RECOMMENDED FLOAT VOLTAGE 2.25 VPC AT 27

RECOMMENDED BOOST VOLTAGE 2.30 VPC 27.

The batteries (both VRLA as well as flooded Lead Acid) are more prone to temperature.
It is a known fact that for every 10 deg Celsius rise in working temperature over the
specified ambient temperature the life of the battery is reduced to half.
The underlying difference between the conventional and the SMPS systems is
that while in the former the regulated output voltage is a function of low
frequency input AC voltage (50 Hz), in the later case, the output voltage is a
function of very high frequency voltage of the order of 20 KHz - 100 KHz due
to which response time is very fast.
Size of the transformers and chokes is reduced to 10 to 15% of the conventional SCR/Thyristor
controlled power plants.

SMPS power plants based on single phase 6.25A, 12.5A and 25A basic modules and three phase
50A basic modules are envisaged for these applications Low capacity power plant.

Large capacity Power plants systems : These type of power plants cater for large or very large
telecom systems. Power plant systems with ultimate capacity of 800A and above are envisaged for
this application.

Normally the power plant voltage remains at 54V for VRLA Batteries and 52.8 for Flooded lead acid
conventional batteries.

It may be ensured that the capacity of the power plant is such that the power plant is normally not
loaded beyond 90% of its rated capacity. While deciding the power plant ultimate capacity this
point shall be taken into consideration

Battery shall not be allowed to be discharged beyond 80% of its rated capacity at any time.

The number of batteries in the system shall be minimum two.

DG Set

For Power Plants and UPS systems, AC requirements shall be taken equal to 1.25 times the
Ultimate power plant load

The power to the electric starter is provided by means of a battery which is kept in charged condition
by means of a dynamo or electric rectifier

Alternator works on Faradays law of Electromagnetic induction. There are two

requirements for the functioning of Alternator (1) Magnetic field & (2) Rotation.

The temperature of the induced air when entrapped and compressed in the combustion chamber is
about 540 deg C to 560 deg C.

As per the latest instruction of the B.S.N.L the temperature in the switch room of an
electronics exchange is to be kept 230 30C. It means that the switch room
temperature should be maintained between 20 0C to 260C within the range of
temperature the telecom equipment would maintain its own properties without any
adverse effect.

Setting of the thermostat:

I. Cutout temperature: 230C
II. Cut in temperature: 250C.
As per the latest practice in the department the relative humidity in the switch room to
be maintain at 45% 15 %. Means the switch room relative humidity range is to be
30% to 60%.

The 5 TR units are generally used in small exchanges ,7 TR and 10 TR units are
used in bigger exchanges.
Mostly 1.5 TR windows A.C. are used in Telecom Department.

Split 3TR

Diesel Engine Alternators are available from 3.5 KVA to 250 KVA Capacity.

VRLA works on the principle of constant voltage charging

Power plant: to convert ac input into desired dc output (-48 V dc)
