1.3.2 BTS3900A (Ver.E) or BTS3900A (Ver.D+Ver.E) Configured


with RFUs but Without RRUs
When a BTS3900A is configured with RFUs but without RRUs, different cabinet
configurations can be used for the BTS3900A supplied with 110 V AC, 220 V AC, or
-48 V DC power in single-, dual-, triple-, and quadruple-mode scenarios.

Cabinet Configuration Principles for a BTS3900A (Ver.E)


Maximum configuration principles for a single site
● A site can be configured with a maximum of 12 RFUs.
● Cabinets in a site must be installed side by side with a clearance of 40 mm
(1.57 in.) between them.
● When a site is configured with more than six RFUs and only one IBBS200D,
IBBS200T, IBBS300D, or IBBS300T, the IBBS200D, IBBS200T, IBBS300D, or
IBBS300T must be configured with at least two battery packs consisting of
100 Ah storage batteries to avoid overcurrent of a single battery pack during
discharging.
Principles for stacking and combining cabinets
● When an IBBS200D/IBBS200T/BBC5200D-L/BBC5200T-L is stacked with a
TMC11H, the IBBS200D/IBBS200T/BBC5200D-L/BBC5200T-L must be placed
under the TMC11H. When two IBBS200D/IBBS200T/BBC5200D-L/BBC5200T-L
cabinets are stacked, only cabinets of the same type can be stacked. That is,
an IBBS200D can only be stacked with another IBBS200D. An IBBS200T can

Issue 14 (2020-01-20) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 12


BTS3900A (Ver.E)
Installation Guide 1 BTS3900A (Ver.E) Installation Guide

only be stacked with another IBBS200T. A BBC5200D-L can only be stacked


with another BBC5200D-L. A BBC5200T-L can only be stacked with another
BBC5200T-L.
● When an IBBS300D/IBBS300T is stacked with a TMC11H, the IBBS300D/
IBBS300T must be placed under the TMC11H. When two IBBS300D/IBBS300T
cabinets are stacked, only cabinets of the same type can be stacked. That is,
an IBBS300D can only be stacked with another IBBS300D. An IBBS300T can
only be stacked with another IBBS300T.
● An IBBS200D or IBBS200T cannot be used together with an IBBS300D or
IBBS300T.
● An RFC can be stacked only with an APM30H or TMC11H, and the RFC must
be placed under the APM30H or TMC11H.
● If auxiliary cabinets, such as the battery cabinet IBBS200D/IBBS200T/
IBBS300D/IBBS300T/BBC5200D-L/BBC5200T-L or transmission cabinet
TMC11H, are required during initial site deployment, the auxiliary cabinets are
positioned on the left, and the basic cabinets are positioned on the right. If
both a battery cabinet and a transmission cabinet are required, the battery
cabinet is positioned on the left side of the basic cabinet, and the
transmission cabinet is stacked on the battery cabinet or positioned on the
left side of the battery cabinet.
● During initial site deployment, space must be reserved for capacity expansion.
Unless otherwise stated, new cabinets are added to the right side of original
cabinets for capacity expansion and the original cabinets are not relocated. In
a special scenario, new cabinets can be added to the left side of original
cabinets.
Configuration principles in single-, dual-, triple-, and quadruple-mode base
stations
● In a single- or dual-mode base station, only one BBU is configured. In a triple-
or quadruple-mode base station, two BBUs can be configured, and the second
BBU is installed in the 2 U space under the first BBU.
● A cabinet combination of one APM30H and one RFC is configured with one
BBU by default. This cabinet combination can be configured with a maximum
of two BBUs, and the power consumption of the two BBUs cannot exceed
1200 W.
● If two BBUs are configured during the initial deployment, both the BBUs are
installed in an APM30H and transmission equipment is installed in a TMC11H.
● During capacity expansion, if there is space for a second BBU in an APM30H,
the second BBU is installed in the APM30H. If there is no space, the second
BBU is installed in a TMC11H.
NOTE

The cabinet configurations in a single-, dual-, triple-, or quadruple-mode base station


configured with one BBU are the same as those in a triple- or quadruple-mode base station
configured with two BBUs. This section describes the cabinet configurations in a base
station configured with two BBUs.

Cabinet Configuration Principles for a BTS3900A (Ver.D+Ver.E)


NOTE

Cabinet configuration principles for a base station (Ver.D+Ver.E) are the same as those for a
base station (Ver.E+Ver.E). For details, see Cabinet Configuration Principles for a
BTS3900A (Ver.E).

Restrictions on the cabinet configurations in a base station (Ver.D+Ver.E)


● If a Ver.E cabinet is installed on a Ver.D base, the cabling capability at the
bottom of the Ver.E cabinet is the same as that of a Ver.D cabinet.
● If an APM30H (Ver.E) supplies power to a Ver.D series battery cabinet, the
power distribution capability of the APM30H (Ver.E) is the same as that of an
APM30H (Ver.D).
● If an APM30H (Ver.E) is stacked on an RFC (Ver.D), the cabling capability at
the bottom of the APM30H (Ver.E) is the same as that of an APM30H (Ver.D).
● If an APM30H (Ver.D) supplies power to a Ver.E battery cabinet, the power
backup and monitoring capabilities of the Ver.E battery cabinet are the same
as those of a Ver.D battery cabinet.
● If an APM30H (Ver.D) is stacked on an RFC (Ver.E), the cabling capability at
the bottom of the RFC (Ver.E) is the same as that of an RFC (Ver.D).

RF Module Configuration RRU Specifications

6 RFUs+15 RRUs 6 RRUs (2x80 W power per RRU)+9


RRUs (2x40 W power per RRU)

12 RFUs+9 RRUs 9 RRUs (2x40 W power per RRU)

Maximum configuration principles for a BTS3900A (Ver.D+Ver.E)


● If a Ver.D cabinet and a Ver.E cabinet are installed side by side or stacked in a
base station, the base station supports a maximum of six RFUs and nine
RRUs.
● A maximum of six 2x60 W RRUs and three 2x40 W RRUs can be configured.
Configuration principles in single-, dual-, triple-, and quadruple-mode base
stations
● In a single- or dual-mode base station, only one BBU is configured. In a triple-
or quadruple-mode base station, two BBUs can be configured, and the second
BBU is installed in the 2 U space under the first BBU.
● A cabinet combination of one APM30H and one RFC is configured with one
BBU by default. This cabinet combination can be configured with a maximum
of two BBUs, and the power consumption of the two BBUs cannot exceed
1200 W.
● If two BBUs are configured during the initial deployment, both the BBUs are

1.9 Installing a Base


This section describes the procedure and precautions for installing a base for a
cabinet.

Procedure
● Install a base for an APM5930(AC)/APM5930(DC)/BBC5200D/BBC5200T/
BBC5200D-L/BBC5200T-L.
a. Determine the position for installing the base.
i. Determine the position to install the cabinet according to the
engineering drawing and installation clearance requirements in the
introduction to installation.
ii. Mark anchor points on the concrete pad, as shown by the circles in
the following figure, to determine the position for installing the base.
iii. After drawing the lines between anchor points, use a measuring tape
to measure the distance between anchor points to ensure that the
dimensions are accurate.

(1) Wall (2) Screw hole

b. Drill holes at the anchor points and insert expansion bolts into the holes,
as shown in the following figure.

CAUTION

Take proper safety measures to protect eyes and respiratory tract against
the dust before drilling holes.

NOTE

● After dismantling the expansion bolts, ensure that the top of each expansion
tube is level with the concrete floor. Otherwise, the cabinet cannot be
installed on the concrete floor evenly and securely.
● In most cases, the concrete floor is smooth. Therefore, use a chisel to make a
dent on the floor before using a hammer drill. Skip this step if the ground is
easy to drill.
i. Use a hammer drill with a Ф16 drill bit to drill holes at the anchor
points with a depth ranging from 55 mm to 60 mm (2.17 in. to 2.36
in.).
ii. Use a vacuum cleaner to wipe away any dust in and around the
holes and measure the spacing between holes. If any of the holes is
beyond the acceptable range, mark a new anchor point and drill a
new hole.
iii. Tighten the expansion bolts slightly, and place each expansion bolt
vertically into each hole.

1.13.1 Cabling Requirements


Cables must be routed according to specified cabling requirements to prevent
signal interference.

NOTE

If a cable listed below is not required, skip the cabling requirements of the cable.

General Cabling Requirements


Bending radius requirements
● The bending radius of a 7/8'' feeder must be greater than 250 mm (9.84 in.),
and the bending radius of a 5/4'' feeder must be greater than 380 mm (14.96
in.).
● The bending radius of a 1/4'' jumper must be greater than 35 mm (1.38 in.).
The bending radius of a super-flexible 1/2'' jumper must be greater than 50
mm (1.97 in.), and the bending radius of an ordinary 1/2'' jumper must be
greater than 127 mm (5 in.).
● The bending radius of a power cable or PGND cable must be at least three
times the cable diameter.
● The bending radius of an optical fiber is at least 20 times its diameter, and the
bending radius of a breakout cable is at least 30 mm (1.18 in.).
● The bending radius of an E1/T1 cable must be at least three times its
diameter.
● The bending radius of a signal cable must be at least five times its diameter.
Cable binding requirements
● Cables must be bound before being routed out of the equipment.
● Cables of the same type must be bound together.
● Different types of cables must be separately routed and bound.
● The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must
not be damaged.
● The cable ties must face the same direction, and those at the same horizontal
line must be in a straight line.
● The excess of the indoor cable ties needs to be cut off. A 5 mm (0.20 in.)
excess needs to be reserved for each outdoor cable tie, without any sharp
edges.
● After cables are installed, labels or nameplates must be attached to the cables
at their ends, curves, and interconnection positions.
Security requirements
● When routing cables, avoid sharp objects or sharp edges on the wall. If
necessary, use tubes to protect the cables.
● When routing cables, keep the cables away from heat sources and use heat
insulation materials to insulate the cables from the heat sources.
● Reserve a proper distance (0.1 m or 0.33 ft is recommended) between
equipment and cables, especially at the cable curves to protect the cables and
equipment.

BTS3900A (Ver.E)
Installation Guide 1 BTS3900A (Ver.E) Installation Guide

Indoor cabling requirements


● Cables are routed indoors through the feeder window.
● Reserve drip loops for all cables outside the feeder window before routing
them into the room. Ensure that the radiuses of the drip loops are greater
than or equal to the minimum bending radiuses of the cables.
● When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in
the room.
● Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.

Outdoor Cabling Requirements


● After being connected to a ground clip on power cables, a ground cable must
be routed downwards to prevent water from entering the equipment to which
the power cables connect.
● Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables
through tubes.
● The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and
cables routed underground.
● When routing cables through tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a
30 mm to 50 mm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the tubes into the base of the
cabinet but do not put the tubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or
waterproof silicon gel to block both ends of the tubes and use sheet metal
tabs to secure the tubes to the cable holes in the base.
● When routing cables through tubes along a metal cable trough below the
cabinet, do not put the tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable
trough and connect the tubes to the cable holes in the base.
● When routing RRU/AAU cables, ensure that the highest positions of the routes
of all cables (except RF cables and AISG cables) are lower than the bottom of
the module. This prevents water from entering the maintenance cavity of the
module along the cables.
● Use clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the
installation guide delivered with the clip.
● Arrange cables neatly along the routing direction and use clips to secure the
cables.
● Determine the positions where the clips are installed according to the actual
situation. For example, 7/8" feeders are secured with clips at an interval of 1.5
m to 2 m (4.92 ft to 6.56 ft), CPRI/Ir optical fibers and power cables are
secured with clips at an interval of 1 m to 1.5 m (3.28 ft to 4.92 ft). Ensure
that the clips are evenly spaced and face the same direction.
● When fastening cables with a clip, ensure that the cables are aligned neatly
and are routed through the holes in the clip. Do not stretch the cables too
tightly.
● Cable ties are used to assist in binding cables. One cable tie can bind a
maximum of two cables.

There are two types of clips which are described as follows:


● A 3-hole clip is shown by illustration a in the following figure. It is often used
to fasten feeders.

Issue 14 (2020-01-20) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 258


BTS3900A (Ver.E)
Installation Guide 1 BTS3900A (Ver.E) Installation Guide

● A 6-hole clip is shown by illustration b in the following figure. It is often used


to fasten power cables and CPRI/Ir optical fibers.
– If the RRU/AAU power cable has round core wires with the cross-sectional
area of 12 AWG/4 mm2 (0.006 in.2)/10 AWG, or the power cable has
non-round core wires with the cross-sectional area of 12 AWG/4 mm2
(0.006 in.2)/10 AWG/6 mm2 (0.009 in.2)/8 AWG/7 AWG, the 6-hole clip
does not require the removal of the rubber tube in the cable hole for a

non-round core wires with the cross-sectional area of 12 AWG/4 mm2
(0.006 in.2)/10 AWG/6 mm2 (0.009 in.2)/8 AWG/7 AWG/5 AWG, the 6-
hole clip does not require the removal of the rubber tube in the cable
hole for a power cable. The 6-hole clip matches 3.3–10 mm2 (0.005–0.016
in.2) RRU/AAU power cables.
– If the RRU/AAU power cable has round core wires with the cross-sectional
area of 6 mm2 (0.009 in.2)/8 AWG/10 mm2 (0.016 in.2), or the power
cable has non-round core wires with the cross-sectional area of 16 mm2
(0.025 in.2), the 6-hole clip requires the removal of the rubber tube in the
cable hole for a power cable. The 6-hole clip matches 3.3–10 mm2
(0.005–0.016 in.2) RRU/AAU power cables.
– If the RRU/AAU power cable has round core wires with the cross-sectional
area of 6 AWG/16 mm2 (0.025 in.2), the 6-hole clip does not require the
removal of the rubber tube in the cable hole for a power cable. The 6-
hole clip matches 13.3–25 mm2 (0.021–0.039 in.2) RRU/AAU power
cables.
– If the RRU/AAU power cable has round core wires with the cross-sectional
area of 4 AWG/25 mm2 (0.039 in.2), the 6-hole clip requires the removal
of the rubber tube in the cable hole for a power cable. The 6-hole clip

Special Cabling Requirements


Cabling of power cables
● Power cables must be installed in the position specified in engineering design
documents.
● If the length of a cable cannot meet the requirement, replace the cable rather
than adding connectors or soldering joints to lengthen the cables.
● Cables can only be routed under well-planned instructions. The cabling
activities are allowed only when qualified personnel and communication
facilities are available.
● Do not circle or twist cables.

Issue 14 (2020-01-20) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 261


BTS3900A (Ver.E)
Installation Guide 1 BTS3900A (Ver.E) Installation Guide

● After routing a DC power cable onto the platform on a tower, route it along
the shortest path to the rails surrounding the platform, and route it along the
inside of the rails.
● After routing a DC power cable close to the equipment on a tower, use clips
to secure the power cable onto a pole or the rails surrounding the platform.
Ensure the position where the power cable is secured is less than 1.5 m (4.92
ft) away from the equipment to which the power cable connects.
Cabling of PGND cables
● PGND cables for a base station must be connected to the same group of
ground bars.
● PGND cables cannot be routed overhead outdoors. All PGND cables must be
buried in the ground or laid out indoors.
● The external conductor of the coaxial wire and the shield layer of the shielded
cable must have proper electrical contact with the metal surface of the
equipment to which they are connected.
● PGND cables and signal cables must be installed with a certain distance
reserved between them to prevent interference from each other.
● Switches or fuses must not be installed on the PGND cables.
● Other devices must not be used for electrical connections of the PGND cables.
● All the metal parts in the housing of the equipment must be reliably
connected to the ground terminal.
Cabling of E1 cables
● E1 cables cannot be crossed with power cables, PGND cables, or RF cables
when being laid out. If transmission cables are routed with power cables,
PGND cables, or RF cables in parallel, the spacing between them must be
greater than 30 mm (1.18 in.).
● E1 cables are routed straightly and bound neatly with cable ties.
● Sufficient slack is provided in E1 cables at turns.
● E1 cables cannot be pressed by the cabinet door when routed through the
cabinet. The following figure shows both correct and incorrect ways of routing
the cables.

Installation Guide 1 BTS3900A (Ver.E) Installation Guide

Cabling of optical fibers


● At least three persons are required for routing optical fibers. The cabling
activities of optical fibers are allowed only when qualified personnel and
communication facilities are available.
● The operating temperature of optical fibers ranges from -40°C to +60°C (-40°F
to +140°F). If the actual temperature is beyond this range, take protective
measures or select another route.
● Do not circle or twist cables.
● Do not bind optical fibers at the position where they bend.
● Do not stretch, step on, or place heavy objects on optical fibers. Keep the
optical fibers away from sharp objects.
● When optical fibers are routed, the excess of the optical fibers must be coiled
around special equipment, such as a fiber coiler.
● An optical jumper must be bound using binding straps. If an optical fiber
needs to be secured in a cabinet or a piece of equipment, use binding straps
to bind it and then use cable ties to secure the binding straps to the cabinet
or equipment. Ensure that the optical fibers can flexibly move in the cable
ties. Right angle bending is not allowed. The following figure shows the
correct and incorrect manners of binding optical fibers.

Figure 1-235 Binding optical fibers

● When coiling optical fibers, apply even strength. Do not bend the optical
fibers with force.
● Unused optical connectors must be covered with dustproof caps.
● The optical fibers must not be pressed by the door of the cabinet when
routed, as shown in the following figures.

● After routing an optical fiber near the equipment on a tower, use clips to
secure the optical fiber onto a pole or the rails surrounding the platform.
Ensure that the distance between the equipment and the position where the
optical fiber is secured is not too long.
● Coil the excess of the optical fibers near the equipment on the tower before
securing the cables onto the tower.

1.13.2 Cable Outlets


In the BTS3900A and BTS5900A, all cabinets are maintained from the front, and
all cables are routed into and out of the cabinets through the cable outlets at the
bottom. This section describes the cable outlets in the APM30H, TMC11H, RFC,
IBBS200D, IBBS200T, IBBS300D, IBBS300T, BBC5200D-L, and BBC5300D-L.

– The cables and connectors prepared by the customer will be used.


– Some cables of fixed lengths need to be shortened.
● Single-mode optical modules are labeled "SM" and multimode optical
modules are labeled "MM".
● The puller of a single-mode optical module is blue and the puller of a
multimode optical module is black or gray.
● An FE/GE optical fiber has an LC connector at one end and an FC, SC, or LC
connector at the other end.
● The "SFP0" and "FE/GE0" ports on an LMPT are used for one GE input.
Therefore, the two ports cannot be used simultaneously.
● The "SFP1" and "FE/GE1" ports on the LMPT are used for another GE input.
Therefore, the two ports cannot be used simultaneously.
● The following describes the connections and routing of FE/GE optical fibers in
an APM30H. The connections and routing of FE/GE optical fibers are the same
in a TMC11H and an APM30H.
● The following describes the connections and routing of FE/GE optical fibers
for a BTS3900A (Ver.D). The connections and routing of FE/GE optical fibers
for the BTS3900A (Ver.B), BTS3900A (Ver.C), BTS3900A (Ver.D), and BTS3900A
(Ver.E) are the same.

NOTICE

● The performance of an optical module may deteriorate if it is exposed to the


air for a long time. Therefore, keep the dustproof cap in the port of each
installed optical module plugged before you connect an optical fiber to the
optical module.
● CPRI optical fibers must be correctly connected in one time during the
installation. Otherwise, the RRU may malfunction, and cells may become
unusable.

NOTICE

Optical modules to be installed must match the rates of their corresponding ports.
For example, the FE1 port (optical transmission port) on a GTMU/GTMUb/GTMUc
supports only the 100 Mbit/s transmission rate and therefore can only use an
optical module that supports hundreds of megabits per second. In this scenario, an
optical module that supports thousands of megabits per second may cause the
transmission link to be disconnected.

Procedure
Step 1 Install an optical module into the FE/GE, FE, SFP, or XGE port on the main control
board or transmission board, as shown in Figure 1-359 and Figure 1-360.
1. Remove the dustproof cap from the corresponding optical port on the
corresponding board in the BBU.

Installation Guide 1 BTS3900A (Ver.E) Installation Guide

NOTICE

After removing dustproof caps from the optical module and optical fiber
connector, insert the optical fiber into the optical module immediately (within
one minute) to avoid pollution of the optical module or optical fiber
connector, which may cause an optical module alarm.

2. Remove the dustproof cap from the optical module.


3. Lower the puller of the optical module.
4. Insert the optical module into the optical port.
5. Raise the puller of the optical module.

Cable Installation Checklist


The following table lists the items to be checked for the cable installation.

Table 1-90 Cable installation checklist

No. Item

1 All cables, especially the Ethernet cables for communication, are


securely connected. All cable connectors, especially those at the
bottom of the cabinet, are securely installed.

2 All cables are neatly and tightly bound. The cable ties are evenly
spaced and face the same direction.

3 Different types of cables, such as the power cables, PGND cables,


feeders, optical cables, E1/T1 signal cables, and FE/GE signal cables,
are separately bound.

4 The layout of all cables must facilitate the maintenance and capacity
expansion. For example, the local maintenance adapter must be
bound to a BBU cable claw and oriented outwards, as shown in the
following figure.

5 The labels at both ends of a cable are legible (labels are attached).

6 The extra length of the indoor cable ties is cut off, and the cut
surfaces are smooth without sharp edges. The extra length of 3 mm
to 5 mm (0.11 in. to 0.19 in.) of the outdoor cable ties is reserved
when the cable ties are cut.

7 All vacant ports are properly protected. For example, unused CPRI
ports on BBU boards are protected using dust-proof caps.

8 The connectors of the RF cables are secured to avoid poor contact


that will cause an abnormal voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR).

1.16.3 (Optional) Pairing the eBat and WIUA


This section describes how to pair the eBat and WIUA for establishing a
monitoring link for the eBat.

Context
The WIUA and eBat are used together to monitor the operating status and alarms
of each battery.

Procedure
Step 1 Press the pairing button on the WIUA. The SETUP indicator on the WIUA blinks (1s
on and 1s off or 0.125s on and 0.125s off).
NOTE

● When the SETUP indicator is 1s on and 1s off, the pairing function of the WIUA has
been enabled.
● When the SETUP indicator is 0.125s on and 0.125s off, the WIUA is exchanging data
with a lower-level device wirelessly. The data exchange does not affect the pairing
process.
● After the SETUP indicator on the WIUA blinks for 10 minutes, the pairing function is
automatically disabled.

Step 2 Press and hold the pairing button on the eBat for 1s to 2s till the RUN/ALM
indicator starts blinking green (1s on and 1s off), indicating that the eBat has
been paired with the WIUA.
Figure 1-459 shows the positions of the pairing buttons and indicators on the
WIUA and eBat, respectively.
