Safety Specifications
Electrical Safety
Electric Shock:
Never install or uninstall power cables while they are live because
when touched with a conductor may produce sparks, resulting in
fire or damage to eyes.
Do shut off power supply before connecting or disconnecting a

power cable.
Before connecting a cable, make sure that the cable and its label
meet the actual installation requirements.
Warning:
It is not allowed to drill cabinet holes without permission. Unqual-
ified drilling could damage wiring inside the cabinet. Additionally,
the metal pieces inside the cabinet created by drilling could result
in a shorted circuit board.
Antistatic
Electrostatic:
Static electricity produced by human body can damage static-sen-
sitive components on circuit board, such as large-scale integrated
circuits.
Friction caused by human body activities is the root cause of elec-

trostatic charge accumulation. Static voltage carried by a human
body in a dry environment can be up to 30 kV, and can remain in
there for a long time. An operator with static electricity may dis-
charge electricity through a component when he/she touches the
conductor and causing damage.
Wear an antistatic wrist strap (the other end of wrist strap must be
well grounded) before touching the equipment or holding a plug-in
board, circuit board, Integrated Circuit (IC) chip or other devices,
to prevent human static electricity from damaging sensitive com-
ponents.

Laser
Laser:
Avoid looking straight at the laser beam from the outlet of the
optical transceiver or inside the optical fiber to avoid eye damage.
High Temperature
Danger:
Avoid touching the surface area of some devices due to high tem-
perature to avoid a scald injury.
Fans
Warning:
Do not put fingers or any tools in the running fan to avoid an injury.
Keep tools away from the running fan.
Sticking finger inside a running fan may cause hurt.

Put parts, screws, and tools away from the fan when replacing
related parts, to avoid damage to the fan or related devices.
Keep fingers and board away from the fan when replacing devices
around the fan, to avoid damage to the equipment or fingers.
Hoisting Heavy
Objects
Warning:
Do not walk or stay under the hoisted objects during hoisting op-
erations.
� Ensure a proper hoisting capability of the hoister when disas-

sembling heavy equipment moving, and replacing equipment.
� The operator must receive the training and qualification for
hoisting operations. Inspect and complete the hoisting tools
before getting into service.
� Make sure to fix the hoisting tools firmly on a sufficiently se-
cured object or wall before the hoisting operation.
� Use brief oral instructions during the hoisting operations to pre-
vent mistaken operation.
Plugging/Unplug- The modules mentioned in this document include front board, rear
ging Modules board, and fan module.

Chapter 1 Safety Instruction
Caution:
� Avoid inserting a module forcibly. Otherwise, the pin on the
backplane may bent.
� Align the module with the guide rail and push it gently to the
backplane. Plug the module properly into the slot to prevent
short circuit due to contact between the module and the circuit
surface.
� Avoid touching the circuits, components, connectors, and cable
troughs when holding a module.

Cabinet Arrangement Principles

The following principles should be obeyed in cabinet arrangement:
� The distance between the first-row cabinets’ front and the wall
is not less than 1.2 m.
� The distance between cabinets of two rows is not less than 1
m.
� The distance between the cabinet side and the wall is not less
than 0.8 m.
� The distance between the last-row cabinets’ back and the wall
is not less than 1 m.
� All rows of cabinets should be arranged tidily.
� When cabinets of different types are arranged in the same row,
the cabinet front is taken as the reference for arrangement.

Installing Primary Cabinet

Steps 1. Select the position to install the cabinet according to the ref-
erence size and cabinet size specified in engineering design
drawing. Measure marking points with measuring tape, and
mark two lines parallel to the base line. Decide installation
hole positions for the cabinet on the two lines. Figure 9 shows
the installation position of a single cabinet.
FIGURE 9 INSTALLATION HOLES FOR SINGLE CABINET (UNIT: MM)
2. Drill a φ10 hole (90 mm deep) according to the markings on

the ground, as shown in Figure 10.
FIGURE 10 GROUND DRILLING

Note:
� Keep the drill bit vertical to the ground when using a drilling
machine to mark holes, and firmly press it downwards. Do
not shake while drilling to avoid aperture enlargement and
damage to the ground.
� Use a cleaner during the drilling process to remove dust.
� If the ground surface is too smooth for using the drill bit,
use a punching bit to cut a concave on the hole position
first.
3. Install expansion nuts.

i. Before installing expansion nuts, use a cleaner to clean dust
from the holes.
ii. Place insulating tube in the installation hole first to guar-
antee that the expansion nut is insulated from the ground,
as shown in Figure 11.
FIGURE 11 INSTALLING INSULATING TUBE
iii. Insert the expansion nut vertically into the insulating tube,
strike it with a rubber hammer until the expansion nut is
completely inserted into the ground, as shown in Figure 12.
FIGURE 12 INSTALLING EXPANSION NUT
4. Above the two installation holes at the cabinet back, align the
base installation component’s installation hole with the expan-
sion nut’s hole. Insert the M10 bolt into the big gasket, insu-

lating washer, installation hole, and insulating pad one by one.

Fasten the bolts to fix the base installation component on the

i. Adjust the multimeter to measure resistance.
ii. Make the multimeter’s two connectors contact the base in-
stallation component’s metal part and the expansion nut
respectively to measure the resistance. If the circuit is bro-
ken, the insulation test is completed; otherwise, go to the
next step.
iii. Check whether the insulating tube is installed or damaged.
If it is not installed or damaged, go to the previous step to
install the base installation component. After doing that,
perform the insulation test again.

6. Fix the cabinet.

i. Move the cabinet to the front of the base installation com-
ponent, and make the cabinet back face the installation
component.
Note:
The cabinet is heavy. Conditions permitting, the cabinet
can be hoisted, and lifting eyes are available on the cabinet
top.
ii. Align positioning holes on the cabinet back with alignment

pins on the base installation component. Move the cabinet
slightly to insert the positioning angle into the slot on the
cabinet back, as shown in Figure 15.

Cable Installation Flow

Figure 25 shows the cable installation flow.
FIGURE 25 CABLE INSTALLATION FLOW

Chapter 6 Cables Installation
Note:
� The trunk should be selected according to the on-site situation.
� The installation of GPS jumper is determined by whether GPS
antenna is installed on site.
� The alarm cable is determined by alarm input modes, usually
installing the dry contact cable and RS232/RS485 cable.
Cable Layout Principle

When laying out cables, observe the following principles:
� For an equipment room installed with supports and antistatic
floor, downward cabling can be used. That is, cables can be
wired through the floor interlayer or cable tray. If upward ca-
bling is used, lay the cabling rack above the cabinet top to run
cables.
� Determine the cabling positions in advance. Cables should be
arranged orderly without damages to external skin.
� For external cables such as power cable, tail table, trunk cable,
and other signal cable, use wire fasteners to bind those of the
same type into one bundle. The spacing between bundles is
20 cm.
� Ensure smooth and even cable bends. The minimum bending
radius should be at least 60 mm.
� Cables must be bound neatly and orderly with even spacing
between cable ties.
� Cables within troughs may not be bound. However, they should
be straight without overlapping and remain inside the troughs.
Bundle the cables at places where they come into or go out of
a trough and where direction is changed.
� For trunk cables, do not pull them tensely when laying them
from cabinet to transit rack. Avoid stretching the cables and
do not cut off the excessive part completely. Bundle the cables
in troughs or on the raised floor based on cabinet. Ensure that
the cables are straight without overlapping. After the layout,
the cables should be arranged in order without damages to
external skin. In addition, reserve margins if necessary.
� During cable layout, attach one label special for each cable,
such as engineering cable, trunk cable, optical fiber, or power
cable, at the position 2 cm from the terminal. The label con-
tent should indicate the directions of both ends. The format is
cabinet number+board number+socket number.
� The cable layout should provide convenience for maintenance
and future expansion.

Installing Power Cable

Steps 1. Estimate the cable length and route along the cable tray be-
tween the power cabinet and the BS8800 GU360. The power
cable and the protective ground cable should be separately ar-
ranged and banded from other cables. The banding distance
per segment is 200 mm. The length of about 0.2 m~0.5 m at
both cable ends is reserved.
Note:
The power cable and the protective ground cable should be
intact and without joints in the middle of cables.
2. Make sure the power supply output is cut off.
Danger:
Make sure to check the status of circuit breaker inside the
power cabinet. Installing power cables in a live status is abso-
lutely prohibited.
3. Make 25 mm2 blue and black cables. Connect one ends of blue
and black cables to the power supply cabinet; the other ends
are reserved for subsequent use.
4. Lead the -48V DC (blue) and -48V RTN (black) cables through
the cable inlet on the set top, as shown in Figure 26.
FIGURE 26 LEADING POWER CABLE THROUGH CABLE INLET
5. Lead the power cable to the power distribution subrack along

the vertical cabling path on cabinet left.
6. Screw off the screws on the protective cover at the right side

Overview
Main Antenna Feeder System
Composition
The antenna feeder system consists of input/output ports from the
cabinet to the antenna. It is used for transmitting the base sta-
tion’s transmission signal and received signal. If the base station
system is configured with Tower Mounted Amplifier (TMA), the an-
tenna feeder system should also contain power supply circuits of
TMA.
For a site that covers three sectors, usually one sector uses two
single-polarized antennas, in other words, totally six antennas are
used to implement space diversity reception. For the two direc-
tional antennas in a sector, one is used for transmitting downlink
signal from the base station to MS and receiving uplink signal from
MS, and this antenna is connected with duplexer and combiner
through feeder cable. The other antenna is only used for receiving
uplink signal from MS, and it is directly connected with the receiv-
ing preselective filter through feeder cable.
Observed from antenna to cabinet, the antenna feeder system
consists of the following components:
� Antenna
� TMA (optional)

� Antenna jumper
� Main feeder cable
� Grounding clip
� Lightning protector
� Cabinet-top jumper
The antenna feeder system composition is shown in Figure 36.

The following items should be noticed by working personnel:
� Before the project starts, the project supervisor should contact
the customer to decide tools and meters that are necessary for
the installation.
� If the feeder cable must pass cable troughs between rooms
and buildings, notify the customer to prepare keys to relevant
rooms or platforms on buildings.
� All personnel at the installation site must wear safety helmet,
and emergency medical materials must be prepared.

� Installation personnel working on the tower must wear safety

belt, take necessary tool kits, and take simple medical binding
materials in case of injury.
� Working personnel under the tower is responsible for keeping
irrelevant personnel out of the installation site, and managing
installation components and tools and meters.
� If the installation site is in prosperous urban area with dense
population, set up bulletins indicating danger, and if necessary,
set personnel to warn people of the potential danger.

Antenna Jumper Installation

Antenna Jumper Installation
Precautions
To guarantee the antenna system reliability, the following items
should be noticed during the process of installing 1/2” super flex-
ible jumper.
� Single bend: the minimum bend radius is 125 mm.
� Multiple bends: the minimum bend radius is 200 mm.

� The redundant antenna jumper can be made into semicircle of

waterproof corner with a radius larger than 125 mm, or circle
with a radius larger than 200 mm.
� Fasten connectors. After the entire antenna feeder system has
passed test, seal connectors with waterproof tapes.
Installing Antenna Jumper

Context The antenna jumper is a super flexible jumper connecting the an-
tenna and the main feeder cable. Usually, the 1/2” super flexible
jumper is used for the mobile base station system. The jumper
connector type depends on the antenna and the main feeder cable,
normally, the jumper’s two connectors are both male DIN type.
Steps 1. Select an appropriate jumper route, which should be reliable,
convenient, and as short as possible. Make sure that rain water
drops from the jumper’s middle part, not from the connector.
2. Connect the jumper connector to the antenna connector
with an appropriate torque. A typical connection torque for
DIN-type connector is 1.7 N•m, and the maximum connection
torque can not exceed 2.3 N•m. Make sure that the connectors
do not bear any lateral force, as shown in Figure 45.
FIGURE 45 CONNECTING JUMPER
3. Connect the main feeder cable connector to the jumper con-

nector with an appropriate torque (the same as that specified
in the previous step). Make sure that the connectors do not
bear any lateral force.
4. Fix jumper with feeder cable clips, as shown in Figure 46. The
distance between feeder cable clips is not more than 0.76 m.
When the wind speed exceeds 160 km/h, appropriately shorten
the distance between feeder cable clips.

FIGURE 46 FIXING JUMPER WITH FEEDER CABLE CLIP
5. Implement performance measurement for antenna and feeder

cables and make sure that the system is running normally. Af-
ter doing these, seal connectors with self-adhesive waterproof
tape and PVC tape.
END OF STEPS
Installing Feeder Window

Steps 1. Drill holes at appropriate positions on the wall of the equipment
room as shown in Figure 47.

END OF STEPS

Main Feeder Installation

Main Feeder Installation Precautions
The following items should be noticed during the process of in-
stalling feeder cable:
� When installing feeder cables on the iron tower, use the pulley
block to hoist feeder cables.
� Paste the main feeder cable label 0.3 m away from the feeder
cable end.
� Hoist feeder cable to the platform on the tower, and fix the
feeder cable’s upper end to appropriate position to avoid it
falling down from the tower.
� Feeder cables should be arranged tidily without being crossed.
Mark both ends of each feeder cable before performing feeder
cable layout.
� Draw the actual cabling route before performing feeder cable
layout to avoid feeder cable crossing.
� The minimum bending radius of feeder cable must be not less
than 20 times that of the main feeder cable. For single bend,
the minimum bend radius is 90 mm, while for multiple bends,
the minimum bend radius is 200 mm.
� The maximum distance between feeder cable clips (HANGER)
is 1.65 m. It is advised to install one feeder cable clip every
one meter.
� For feeder cable at the antenna, there should be a straight
part of 30 cm to 40 cm to guarantee that the feeder cable
connector does not bear any force, and certain feeder cable
margin should be left for possible adjustment. If the pole on
the building roof is single-polarized, it is advised to arrange the
feeder cable margin at the corner of the horizontal cable rack
on the lower pole.
� Fix feeder cable with feeder cable clip if conditions permit. Do
not use cable tie to bind feeder cables.
Main Feeder Indoor Layout Principles

The following lists principles for main feeder indoor layout:
� A 12–hole feeder cable hermetic window has four big holes.
Each big hole contains three small holes, and each small hole
has one feeder cable passing through.
� Feeder cables in the three small holes in one big hole are ar-
ranged sequentially according to engineering label ID, and are
laid out either clockwise or anti-clockwise.
� The feeder cable layout in the hermetic window should be easily
expanded. Capacity expansion should not change the original

feeder cable layout, it is only allowed to add feeder cables in the

hermetic window or change jumper connections in the cabinet.
� The feeder cable layout in hermetic window should facilitate
laying feeder cables on the cable rack and feeder connections
with the cabinet. Feeder cables should be parallel and have no
cross.
Installing Main Feeder Cable

Context The main feeder cable is connected with two jumpers:
� The jumper connected with antenna
� The jumper connected with cabinet
The main feeder cable adopts the 7/8” foaming feeder cable. Usu-
ally, the two connectors are both female DIN connectors.
The following mechanical performance should be guaranteed when
transporting and installing main feeder cables:
1. Single bend: the minimum bend radius is 400 mm.
2. Multiple bends: the minimum bend radius is 450 mm.
3. The maximum hoisting feeder cable length of a hoisting trawl
is 60 m.
Steps 1. Measure and cut the feeder cables into various lengths accord-
ing to actual requirements. Leave necessary feeder cable mar-
gin.
2. Prepare the main feeder DIN connector at the antenna side.
3. Use the hoisting trawl or pulley to lift the feeder cable up to the
iron tower, as shown in Figure 50. Fix the main feeder cable
with feeder cable clips and cut excess length of the main feeder
cable.
FIGURE 50 HOISTING TRAWL

4. Complete the main feeder cable installation and make the main
feeder cable DIN connector at the other side.
5. Use support for the main feeder cable every 1.2 m, and add
a few supporting points at the bends. Keep the feeder cable
close to the pole, and add cable support along the pole every
certain distance, as shown in Figure 51.
FIGURE 51 FIXING FEEDER CABLE
6. If the iron tower is floor-mounted, then ground the feeder ca-

ble at 0.5 m ~ 1 m above the bend where it connects the
antenna or leaves the tower body, and outside the entrance to
the equipment room. If the feeder cable length is more than
60 m, ground it in the middle part. Connect the feeder cable’s
metal outer layer with the grounding busbar through ground-
ing clips. Lead a tin-plated copper wire or zinc-plated flat steel
out from the grounding busbar, with a cross-sectional area not
less than 95 mm2, and connect it to the grounding point of the
iron tower.

Postrequisite Ensure the following items during the connector installation

process:
1. Keep the feeder cable straight for at least 150 mm.
2. Use special purpose tools to cut feeder cables.
3. Use ruler to accurately measure the feeder cable length.
4. Do not tear the outer conductor when using knife to strip the
feeder cable’s outer layer.
5. Keep connector unmoved when using spanner to fasten con-
nector. Rotate the connector fastening component to screw the
connector tightly.
6. Label both ends of the main feeder cable before the cable
is laid on the iron tower, to distinguish the sector it belongs
to and transmitting/receiving features during cable connection
process.

Leading Main Feeder Cable Indoors

Context Figure 52 and Figure 53 show the two methods of leading main
feeder cable indoors. It should be guaranteed that the main feeder
cable does not cause rain water coming into the equipment room.

FIGURE 53 LEADING MAIN FEEDER CABLE INDOORS (METHOD 2)
1. Feeder window 3. Feeder clip

2. Cable rack
Steps 1. Unscrew the fastening hoop iron of feeder window to a proper

position. Pull out hermetic covers of small holes through which
the feeder cable passes through.
2. Lead the main feeder into the equipment room. When lead-
ing the main feeder into indoor cable rack from outdoor cable
rack, it is required that two installation workers, one indoor
and the other outdoor, cooperate together to fulfil the task. It
helps avoid damaging the main feeder as well as other indoor
equipments due to improper force during the main feeder cable
installation process. After the main feeder is pulled to specified
position, screw the fastening hoop iron tightly.

3. Cut the main feeder cable. Before cutting the main feeder cable
and after the main feeder cable is cut, make sure that labels
on the main feeder are intact.
Note:
When cutting the main feeder cable, the following factors are
considered for selecting the cutting position:
� Cabinet installation position
� The length of jumper on the cabinet top
� Lightning protector configuration
� Installation position of the lightning protector rack
� The bend radius of main feeder cable
� Cable layout in the equipment room should be clean and
tidy
4. Make indoor connector of the main feeder cable.

5. Connect the main feeder cable with the lightning protector.
Note:
� For lightning protector without grounding cable, directly
connect the lightning protector to the main feeder during
the installation process. Make sure that the lightning pro-
tector is insulated from the cable rack.
� For lightning protector with lightning protector rack, ad-
just each main feeder cable carefully during the installation
process. Make sure that the main feeder cable connector
is well connected with the lightning protector.
END OF STEPS
Installing Lightning Protector

Context All cables that are led into the equipment room from antenna must
be connected to the lightning protector, and the lightning protector
is connected to the grounding cable, as shown in Figure 54.

� During installation, all surfaces contacting the ground must
be clean, dry, and not oxidized.
� The working frequency marked on the lightning protector
must be consistent with that of the base station system.
END OF STEPS
Installing Grounding Kit

Context The grounding kit is used to connect the feeder cable’s outer con-
ductor with the tower or grounding cable. It leads current to the
ground in case of the system being attacked by thunder. Usually,
the grounding kit is installed near the top of the antenna’s feeder
cable or the feeder cable end at the bottom of the tower, or the
entry through which the feeder cable comes into the equipment
room. For feeder cables higher than 60 m, the grounding kit is
installed in the middle part of the feeder cable.
Steps 1. Fix the grounding end of the grounding kit. Mark the ground-
ing kit installation position on 7/8” feeder cable, and strip the
feeder cable sheath at the position for installing the grounding
kit.
2. Place the grounding kit ring around the feeder cable’s outer
conductor and buckle the ring, as shown in Figure 57.

FIGURE 57 BUCKLING GROUNDING KIT RING
3. Use waterproof self-adhesive tape to wrap the connection

point. Each layer of the tape should overlap half of the
previous layer, as shown in Figure 58. The wrapping direction
should be same as the buckling direction of grounding kit ring.
FIGURE 58 WRAPPING WATERPROOF TAPE
4. Use electrical insulating tape to wrap up the connection point.

Wrap the tape in semi-overlapping mode, that is, each layer is
25 mm higher than the previous layer as shown in Figure 59.
Press the tape to ensure that layers are in good contact.

FIGURE 59 WRAPPING ELECTRICAL INSULATING TAPE
5. Connect the grounding end of the grounding kit to the tower

body or special-purpose binding post. Remove the paint and
oxide within a radius of 13 mm of the connection point. Apply
antioxidant to the cleaned area to ensure good electrical con-
tact.
Note:
Do not install the grounding kit during thunder or lightning
weather to avoid personal injury.
Note:
� Ensure that the feeder cable’s outer conductor is well
grounded where the grounding kit is installed.
� After the grounding kit is installed, ensure that the feeder
cable’s outer corrugated conductor is completely sealed.

END OF STEPS
Waterproof Outdoor Joints

Prerequisites The antenna feeder system SWR test is passed.
Context � It is advised to adopt the 3–3–3 mode in waterproof sealing for
feeder cables. In other words, three layers of insulating tape
are used inside, three layers of waterproof tape are used in the
middle, and three insulating tape are used outside.
� The insulating tape inside facilitates removing connectors, the
waterproof tape in the middle prevents water and moisture,
and the outside insulating tape is used to keep the middle tape
inside and protects the connector.
� The 3–3 mode can be adopted if the connecting point needs
not be removed. In other words, three layers of waterproof
tape are used inside and three layers of insulating tape are
used outside.
Steps 1. Connect the antenna jumper and the main feeder cable con-
nector, and screw them tightly.
2. Perform waterproof handling for the connector. Wrap the con-
nector with three layers of electrical insulating tape first. Then
wrap it with three layers of waterproof insulating tape, tighten
the tape to make the tape width 3/4 ~ 1/2 of the original width.
After doing that, wrap the connector with another three layers
of electrical insulating tape.
i. When wrapping the waterproof tape, start wrapping from
the lower part the connector, and use about 200–mm tape
to fill in the concave part, as shown in Figure 74.
FIGURE 74 WRAPPING WATERPROOF TAPE (1)
ii. Extend the tape length twice of the original length. Use
60–cm waterproof tape for each connector and wrap the
connector for three layers. The wrapping direction must be

same as that of screwing the feeder connector to prevent

the connector from loosening.
iii. Wrap the tape layer by layer as shown in Figure 75, then
wrap the tape in the opposite direction, the outside layer
overlapping inside layer about 1/2 of the tape width. Fi-
nally, wrap the tape in the opposite direction for three lay-
ers. Do not cut the tape during wrapping, and the length
of wrapping tape must exceed the connector for about 20
mm.
iv. After wrapping the waterproof tape, press the tape to en-
sure the tape and feeder/feeder connector are agglutinated
tightly, as shown in Figure 76.
v. Wrap the electrical insulating tape out of the waterproof

tape for three layers. Make the outside layer overlap inside
layer 1/2 of the tape width.
vi. Press the electrical insulating tape and the waterproof tape
to ensure that the two are agglutinated tightly.
vii. Use the black anti-ultraviolet tie to bind the two ends of
tape to avoid tape aging and falling off, and cut the redun-
dant tie, as shown in Figure 77.

Note:
Considering the effect of expanding with heat and contract-
ing with cold, reserve 3 mm ~ 5 mm extra tie to prevent
the tie from falling off.
