injures to the human body. Take necessary precautions.
l
Keep the damaged parts in a safe place to prevent beryllium oxide leakage from
mechanical damages.
l
Do not discard the parts containing beryllium carelessly. Follow the local safety
regulations to perform chemical treatment or special waste treatment on them.
Some equipment parts contain hydrochloride. If burnt, these parts generate toxic gas.
Prevent the damaged parts from burning.
Do not discard the damaged parts at random. Follow the local safety regulations to perform
chemical treatment or special waste treatment on them.
2.3 Hydrofluoride
Some equipment parts contain hydrofluoride. The burning of these parts generates toxic gas.
Prevent the equipment parts from burning.
Do not discard the equipment parts at random. Follow local regulations to perform chemical
treatment or special waste treatment on them.
3 Electrical Safety
3.1 High Voltage
High voltage power supply provides electricity for equipment operation. Direct contact or
indirect contact of damp objects with high-voltage wires or main power supply can be fatal.
l
Follow the local safety regulations to install AC power supply equipment. The people
engaged in providing the AC power supply must be qualified for high-voltage and AC
operations.
l
Remove electrical conductors such as watches, bracelets, and rings before the operation.
l
If you find that the cabinet is wet, switch off power supply at once.
Improper high-voltage operations may result in fire and electric shocks. Follow the local
safety codes to lay AC cables. Only trained and qualified personnel are allowed to perform
high-voltage operations.
3.2 Power Cable
Never install or remove electrified power cables. The contact of power cable with conductors
may cause electric spark or arc, causing fire or eye injury.
l
Turn off the power before installing and removing power cables.
l
Before connecting the cables, make sure that the cables and the cable tags are correct.
iSite BTS3006C
Maintenance Manual
3.3 Fuse
Never install or remove electrified fuses.
l
Only the technicians qualified for high-voltage operations can install or remove fuses.
l
Switch off the power before replacing AC fuses.
3.4 Tools
High-voltage and AC operations require special tools instead of general-purpose or makeshift
tools.
Do not drill holes on the cabinet. Improper drilling may damage cables inside the cabinet. The
metal filings resulting from the drilling may fall into the cabinet and cause short-circuits in the
circuit board.
l
Wear insulated gloves and move the cables inside the cabinet.
l
Protect your eyes from the dispersed metal filings.
l
Prevent metal filings from falling into the cabinet.
l
Drill at proper places to avoid affecting the electromagnetic shielding performance of the
cabinet.
l
After drilling, remove all the metal filings immediately.
3.6 Thunderstorm
Never work on high-voltage and AC or work on steel towers and masts in thunderstorms.
Thunderstorms generate powerful electromagnetic fields in air. Ground the equipment
properly to avoid thunder stroke.
3.7 Static Electricity
Static electricity generated in the human body may damage the electrostatic-sensitive parts on
the circuit board, such as large-scale integrated circuit (IC).
l
In dry climate, the electrostatic charge carried by the human body may go up to 30 kV.
The charge may remain in the human body for a long period. When an operator with
electrostatic charge contacts with an electrostatic-sensitive part, the electric discharge
may damage the part.
l
Before coming into contact with any equipment such as, hand-held plug-in boards,
circuit boards, or IC chips, wear an anti-static wrist strap with one end well grounded to
protect sensitive parts from static electricity on your body.
l
Before touching any board or module, discharge the static electricity in your body by
wearing an anti-static wrist strap.
l
Add a resistance of over 1M between the strap and the grounding point to protect
yourself from electric shock. The resistance over 1M is reliable in terms of electrostatic
voltage discharging. Check the anti-static wrist strap regularly. Never replace the cable
of the anti-static wrist strap with other cables.
Prevent electrostatic-sensitive boards or modules from touching the object with static
electricity or the object that may easily generate static electricity. For example, when
rubbing on an object of insulating materials such as packing and conveyer, an
electrostatic-sensitive part takes electric charge. When touching a human body or when
connected to the ground, the discharge may damage the part.
l
Electrostatic-sensitive boards or modules should contact only good conductors, such as
anti-static packing bags. Pack the board with an anti-static bag for stock or transport.
l
Before connecting any measurement device to boards or modules, ground it to discharge
its static electricity.
l
Do not place boards or modules near strong DC magnetic field, for example, the cathode
ray tube of a scope. Keep a distance of 10 cm at least.
l
The damage caused by static electricity is accumulative in effect. If the damage is slight,
the part does not fail. However, as the damage occurs repeatedly, the part may suddenly
fail. The damage caused by electrostatic discharge on the part may be explicit or implicit.
The implicit damage is not visible. However, it makes the part vulnerable to over-voltage
and high-temperature.
Figure 1 shows how to wear an anti-static wrist strap.
Figure 1 Wearing an anti-static wrist strap
Plug of anti-static wrist strap
3.8 Labels on Power Supply Cables
Before connecting the cables, check the labels on them.
3.9 Leakage of Current
To avoid large leakage of current, ground the equipment before powering it on.
Before connecting the AC input power supply, connect the protection-grounding terminal of
the equipment housing to the earth. The purpose is to avoid the electric shock on human body
resulting from leakage of current. The leakage of current is caused by the EMI filter earth
capacitance of the equipment AC power supply input terminal and the Y capacitance of the
primary power supply.
3.10 Flammable Air
Do not place the equipment in an environment with flammable, explosive air or smog. Never
operate any digital equipment in this environment.
It is extremely dangerous to operate any digital equipment in this environment.

3.1.2 Basic Principles of Emergency Maintenance
iSite BTS3006C
Maintenance Manual
You must adhere to the following basic principles of emergency maintenance:
l
Prepare the handling plan.
The purpose of emergency maintenance is to quickly recover services and clear faults.
The maintenance personnel must prepare the handling plans by referring to the
emergency maintenance materials of the BTS3006C.
l
Handle emergencies according to the handling plan.
When an emergency occurs, the maintenance personnel must check the hardware and
transmission devices of the BTS3006C. This is to check whether the emergency has
occurred due to faults in the BTS3006C. If so, handle the emergency according to the
prepared plans or the procedures described in this manual.
l

After handling the emergency, collect the information of the faults and alarms. Then
deliver the corresponding emergency handling reports, equipment alarm files to Huawei
for fault analysis and location. This will help Huawei to improve after-sales services.
3.1.3 Points to Remember
During the emergency maintenance, consider the following points:
l
Generally, emergency operations and maintenance have a great impact on normal
services of the system. Maintenance must be done by experienced operators or under
their guidance.

3.2.6 Observing Recovered Services
After the services are recovered, ensure that the system is operating normally. Arrange
maintenance personnel to observe the services till the transmission traffic peaks so that
problems, if any, can be solved in time.
To ensure that the system is operating normally, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Check whether the dialing test succeeds.
Step 2 Check the status of indicators on the BSC modules.
Step 3 Check whether there are alarms.
Step 4 Check on the BSC maintenance terminal the status of the modules, clock, CIC, and signaling
links.
Step 5 Check on the BTS maintenance terminal the status of the modules and the occupation of
channels.
l
If many SDCCHs are occupied while few TCHs are occupied, faults probably occur.
l
If all the TCHs on a TRX in a DDRM are occupied for less than 30 seconds, the DDRM
may be faulty. You need to focus on this fault.
As soon as the services are recovered, many SDCCHs are occupied but few TCHs are occupied. This is
a normal situation.
Step 6 Check the registration of the traffic and check whether the following traffic statistics results
are normal:
