Installation Manual
iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station Safety Precautions
3.6 Static Electricity
Caution:
Static electricity generated by the human body may damage the electrostatic-sensitive parts on the
circuit boards, such as large-scale integrated circuit (IC).
l The grating generated between human activities and the components is the
rootage for electrostatic charge accumulation. In dry climate, the electrostatic
charge carried by human body may go up to 30 kV, which will remain on the
human body for a rather long period of time. The operator’s contact with the
sensitive component and the resultant electric discharge will cause damage to
the component.
l Before contacting/touching any equipment such as holding plug-in boards, circuit
boards and IC chips, put on the anti-static wrist strap with one end well grounded
so as to prevent sensitive parts from getting damaged by static electricity on the
human body.
l Before operators touch the board or module, they should release the
electrostatic charge in their body. That is, before the operator touches a board or
a module, he or she must wear the anti-static grounded wrist strap. The
connecting line between the wrist and the grounding point should connect in
series with a resistance greater than 1 M¦¸ to protect people from being
accidentally shocked. The resistance value greater than 1 M, is rather low in
terms of electrostatic voltage discharging. The anti-static wrist strap should be
checked regularly. Using other cable to replace the cable of anti-static wrist strap
is strictly prohibited.
l Electrostatic-sensitive board or module should not be in contact with the object
with static electricity or the object that may easily generate static electricity. For
instance, packaging bags, delivery boxes and conveyor belts made of insulating
materials will generate static electricity by themselves, and can cause
electrostatic charging when in contact with human body or the earth and might
thus bring forth damages.
l Electrostatic-sensitive boards or modules can only contact quality discharging
materials, such as anti-static packing bags. The board in stock or in the course
of transportation should be packaged with anti-static packing bag.
l Before the measurement device is connected to boards or modules, first
discharge its static electricity, that is, the measurement device should be
grounded first.
S-7
Page 16
Installation Manual
iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station Safety Precautions
l The single board or module should not be placed near strong DC magnetic field,
for instance, near the cathode ray tube of the oscilloscope. The safety distance
should be at least 10 cm.
l Damage caused by static electricity is accumulative. If the damage is slight, the
component will not malfunction. However, as the number of damages increase,
the components may suddenly fail. The electrostatic discharging damage to the
component is of two types: obvious damage and hidden damage. Hidden
damage is not shown when the damage occurs, whereas the component may
become vulnerable and easily get damaged under the condition of over-voltage
and of high-temperature.
The correct way of wearing anti-static wrist strap is shown in Figure 1.

3.8 Leakage Current
Warning:
To avoid the occurrence of large leakage current, the equipment must be grounded before connecting to
the power supply.
l Before connecting the AC input power supply, the operation and maintenance
personnel should first connect the protection-grounding terminal of the
equipment housing to the earth. The purpose of doing so is to avoid electric
shock on human body resulting from leakage current, which is usually caused by
the earth capacitance of the EMI wave filter at the AC power supply input
terminal of the equipment or the Y capacitance of the primary power supply.
3.9 Flammable Air Environment
Danger:
The equipment should not be placed in an environment where flammable, explosive air or smog exists.
No operation should be performed under such an environment.
l The operation on any electronic equipment under such an environment will pose
absolute threat to the equipment & the operating personnel.

3) Make sure that the installation direction of the antenna support would not influence
the receiving (RX) /transmitting (TX) performance and direction adjusting of th e
antenna.
4) If necessary, take suspension measures to avoid distortion of the antenna support
as it will be in use for a long time.
5) Whirling arm should be reinforced by reinforcing arm. The length of expansion arm
and whirling arm may be determined according to the onsite situation. The fracture
should be soldered with cover plate to avoid leaking water.
6) All the soldered parts should be secure enough without dry joint and open solder
point. The surface of the support should be covered by anti-rust silvery paint.
Better choose zinc-coated steel for the support.
III. Installation procedure
1) Install a fast pulley on the tower top. Use one or two lifting ropes to hoist the
support to the tower platform via the fixed pulley. Besides, a rope is needed to
control the upward direction of the support;
2) Determine the installation position of the antenna support on building-top
according to the antenna and feeder installation diagram in the engineering design
drawing.
3) Fix the support on the tower with a U-shape fixing clip, as shown in Figure 3-14.

Figure 3-22 Installing the omni antenna on tower platform
I. Installation requirements
l When installing the omni antenna on the tower, make sure the antenna is in the
protection range of lightning arrester on the tower. The distance between the omni
antenna and the tower body should be left at least 1.5m.
l The antenna axis should be vertical to the horizontal plane with error less than !1°.
l The TX and RX antenna of omni antenna can be installed on one antenna support,
or be separately installed. The specified installation position should be determined
according to the engineering design drawing.
II. Installation procedure
1) Make the feeding point of the antenna facing down and the jacket near the
mainstay support. The top of the jacket should be on the same level or a little bit
higher than the top of the support.
2) As shown in Figure 3-23, secure the antenna fixing clip and the mainstay support
properly to ensure its load bearing and wind resistibility. It should not be too tight to
damage the jacket of the antenna.
3) Check whether the antenna axis is vertical to the horizontal plane with angle tester.
If the error is equal to or greater than !1°, adjust the antenna axis and then fasten
it.
4) Make waterproof elbow at the antenna connector.

5) Route the antenna jumper with natural jumper curves of proper angle. Generally, it
is required that the radius of the curves be 20 times larger than the jumper
diameter and the jumper be bound to the steel rack of the tower along the support
crosspiece with black cable tie.
Caution:
The cable ties should be bound toward the same direction with a margin of 5~10mm to avoid the ties fall off
when temperature changes.

3 Installing RF Antenna and Feeder System
I. Installation requirements
l When installing the directional antenna on the tower, make sure the antenna is in
the protection range of lightning arrester on the tower. The antenna should stretch
out of the tower body for at least 1m.
l Waterproof elbow must be made to the antenna jumper.
II. Installation procedure
1) Determine the installation direction of the antenna according to the engineering
installation drawing.
2) Fix the antenna onto the main supporting post. The fixing tightness should be right
enough for weight bearing and wind resistance. Looseness may cause loose
connection while too much tension may damage the antenna sheathing;
3) Adjust the antenna azimuth angle: Determine the antenna azimuth angle with a
compass according to the engineering design documents. Normally, Starting from
the north clockwise, the area covered by the first antenna is sector 1. Sector 2 lies
in the clockwise 120° direction and sector 3 in the next clockwise 120° direction, as
shown in Figure 3-26. While adjusting the azimuth, turn the antenna azimuth
slightly till it satisfies the design index value with the azimuth error not greater than
5°.

4) Tighten up the lower fixing clip of the antenna till it cannot be moved by hand.
5) Adjust the antenna pitch angle: For the directional antenna whose mounting hole
corresponds to its pitch angle, install it via its mounting hole directly. Make sure the
supporting post of its support is kept strictly perpendicular to the ground during the
installation. Adjust the pitch angles of other antennae in the following way:
l Determine the antenna pitch angle using an inclinometer.
l Turn the antenna slightly and adjust the pitch angle till it satisfies the engineering
design index value. Generally the error of the pitch angle should be Ÿ0.5°.
l Tighten up the upper fixing clip of the antenna till it cannot be moved by hand;
Use the inclinometer in the way as shown in Figure 3-27 and Figure 3-28.

3.7.6 Leading Feeder into Equipment Room
I. Feeder arrangement principle
l There are 4 big holes in a 12-hole feeder window, and 3 sma ll holes in each big
hole. One feeder can run through a small hole.
l The feeders should be arranged in sequence (i.e. clockwise or counter -clockwise)
in the three small holes of the same big hole.
l The arrangement of feeders in the feeder window should facilitate system
expansion. The original arrangement of feeders should not be changed during
system expansion. It is permitted to add feeders to the feeder window and change
the jumper connection on the cabinet top only.
l The arrangement of feeders in the feeder window should facilitate the routing of
feeders on the cabling rack and the connection of feeders with the cabinet top. The
feeders should be parallel to each other without any cross.
l The length of the feeder entering the feeder window should be 30cm~50cm. If
there is an indoor cabling rack, the feeder can be fixed with feeder clip. If not, the
feeder may be hanged in air.
Hardware Installation
3 Installing RF Antenna and Feeder System
Caution:
The minimum feeder curving radius should not be less than 20 times of the feeder diameter.
There should be no cross of the feeder when it is routed along the cabling rack and tower cabling ladder.
And there should be no crossing or overlapping of the feeder entering the equipment room. Therefore, it is
required to get an idea of the feeder routing prior to feeder distribution. It is best to draft the actual feeder
routing on paper to avoid rework due to feeder crossing.
II. Procedure
1) Make waterproof elbow for the feeder at the outer side of the feeder window.
3-30

2) Direct the feeders into the equipment room via the feeder window. The
corresponding personnel inside the equipment room should guide the operation
so as to avoid damage to equipment in the room.
3) Mount sealing gasket and sealing gland. Place the hole for filling in glue on the
sealing gland facing upward when mounting the sealing gland.
4) Cut the feeders correctly according to the design requirements.
5) Make the indoor feeder connector.
6) Encapsulate the feeder window and the unused holes with adhesive tape, plaster
and glass cement, as shown in Figure 3-38.

&
Note:
If the feeder needs to run though the window glass, remove the glass first. Cut a corner of proper size of
the glass and then use rubber or adhesive tape to protect the edge, in order to avoid the feeder being cut.
Measures should be taken to prevent rain after the feeder runs through the glass, that is, seal the
connection between the glass and the feeder with glass cement.
3.7.7 Connecting Feeder and BTS
The feeder and BTS should be connected with 1/2 jumper. Feeder connector at BTS
side has already been connected during the installation of major equipment. Just
connect the feeder and jumper. In the case of outdoor installation of BTS, 3-layer
waterproof treatment should be performed in addition.

project interface after the negotiation between user and vendor serve as the basis of
operation. Below are the common principles:
l The user is responsible for the preparation of equipment room environment;
l The user is responsible for the coordination of the auxiliary equipment in the
equipment room;
l The project interface is based on the contract and project files and is finalized by
means of the negotiation between both parties.
II. Project coordination and cooperation
l Personnel
The project supervisor is the principal of the project. He is responsible for providing the
list of the supervisors of this project and sub-projects and the way to contact them. It is
recommended that the user provide the list and contact information of its corresponding
technicians.
l Tools
The vendor should in advance inform the user of the tools inconvenient for
transportation or tools the vendor cannot provide. And the user should provide these
tools.
1-6
Page 72
Installation Manual
iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
III. Progress arrangement
The progress of the project should be arranged according to the preparation of the
project. A written plan should be worked out and submitted to the user for negotiation
and confirmation. The plan should include the following contents:
l Delivery time and expected arrival time;
l Date when engineers arrive the place of the user;
l Progress arrangement of project installation and commissioning.
1.5.2 Kickoff Coordination
After arriving at the place of the user, the project supervisor should call a kick off
coordination meeting with the user. In this meeting, both parties should decide their
persons in charge, and achieve an agreement on installation period, project schedule
and cooperation matters.
1.6 Unpacking Check
Hardware Installation
1 Installation Preparations
In the non-turnkey project, both the user and the project supervisor (engineer from
Huawei or cooperative party) are required to be present at the unpacking site. If one
party is absent at the unpacking site, another party who unpacks shall responsible for
any error occurring to the articles.
In the turnkey project, it is the project supervisor and the order management engineers,
who unpack, check & accept, hand over the articles, and make a confirmation with
signatures. The operation of Unpacking check and problem feed back in this case is
almost the same as that of the non-turn key project, except that the user does not need
to sign. The goods will be handed over to the user after passing the initial check of the
project.
The following will mainly deals with the former case.
1.6.1 Packing List Collation
Before unpacking, both parties should check if the packing cases are damaged. If so,
stop unpacking and contact the order management engineer at the local office of
Huawei, waiting for the handling. Meanwhile, check if the quantity of cases on the site
agrees with the Packing List, and if the place of delivery agrees with the actual
installation place. If there is any disagreement, the project supervisor should feed back
the Article Problem Feedback Form confirmed by the user with a signature to the order
management engineer at the local office within 3 days.
After all the above inspections are ok, unpack the cases to check and accept the
articles.

There are two kinds of packages: wooden cases and cartons. The unpacking tools
should be used accordingly.
&
Note:
The Packing List is usually in the carton with red label.
1.6.2 Unpacking Inspection on Wooden Cases
Generally, the wooden case is used to pack heavy items, such as cabinet and feeder
clips, etc.
The packing materials for the cabinet include the wooden case, foamed wrap angles
and a plastic bag, as shown in Figure 1-1. Better not unpack the package until moving it
to or near the equipment room (if enough space is available) so as to avoid damages to

1.6.3 Unpacking Inspection on Cartons
Generally, the carton is used to pack various modules and terminal equipments, etc.
The module is placed in an antistatic bag for transportation. Inside the bag, there is a
desiccant to keep it dry. The packing of a module is shown in Figure 1-2. Antistatic
measures should be taken during the unpacking so as to avoid any damage to the
equipment. Meanwhile, ensure a proper ambient temperature and humidity.
Caution:

2.2.3 Example of Concrete Pole Installation
This installation mode applies to such environment as fields, villages, towns, road sides,
etc. to cover the locations like villages and towns. In this case, two poles must be used
in the installation no matter that the BTS to be installed is an omni BTS or a directional
one.
I. Facility requirements
l The standard spacing between two poles should be 5m (not less than 3.5m at
least), and horizontal diversity distance between two antennae should be 6m (not
less than 5m at least). For an omni BTS, a metal mast should be used to meet the
2-6
Page 85
Installation Manual
iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
requirements for horizontal diversity between two antennae. For a directional BTS,
only a dual polarization antenna is required and the spacing between two poles
should be determined for the convenience of platform establishment.
l If the platform is established 3m above the ground, for an O(1) BTS, the platform
should be strong enough to bear the load over 500kg; for an S(1/1/1) BTS, the
platform is required to bear the load over 1500kg.
l Between two poles, two or more metal fixing beams should be installed. And at the
joints between beams and poles, the beams should be welded reliably with the
down leads of pole lightning arresters. Dot welding is not allowed. It is
recommended to install a metal fixing beam respectively on the platform and at the
place 2m above the platform. And install two (according to the type of BTS) 2m
metal holding supports between two beams by soldering so as to bear the
BTS3601C and other equipment. The diameter of each holding support is
60mm~114mm, and the spacing between them is 80cm.
l Install a vertical cabling ladder (300mm wide) via the metal fixing beam between
two poles. The lower end of the ladder should be 1.2m away from the platform.
Connect the fixing beams, on which the cabling ladder is fixed, to the flat steel (for
lightning protection and grounding) by soldering. Dot welding is not allowed.
l The antenna support is made of steel pipe with the diameter 60mm~114mm. The
omni antenna should be 1m away from the antenna support horizontally. In the
case of a directional antenna, its holding support may remain unextended.

Figure 2-5 Installing BTS3601C on two poles
III. Note
l To facilitate the introduction of power cables and trunk cables, first determine the
metal holding support on which the BTS3601C is to be installed. IAFB or AC
lightning protection box can be installed below the BTS 3601C. The IABB can be
fixed on the platform directly. If more than 2 battery boxes are needed, a platform
should be established below the platform.
l Equipment like the BTS3601C, IAFB, UPS, etc. should be installed between two
poles via metal parts. It is not allowed to directly install them on poles.
l When feeders are used, the antenna jumpers should be bound on the crosspieces
of poles via cable ties. For the convenience of feeder connector preparation and
maintenance, it is prohibited to lay feeders transversely. The feeders should be
routed along the sides of the cabling rack.
l If the poles are not long enough, it is recommended to connect the antenna and
the BTS3601C via jumper. And the jumper should be bound at the sides of the
cabling rack and on the crosspieces of poles via cable ties. Both ends of the
jumper should be grounded.
l Lightning arresters should be respectively installed on two poles, and the antenna
of the BTS3601C should be in the protection range of the two arresters (pitch
2-8
Page 87
Installation Manual
iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
angle 30°C between them), as shown in Figure 2-5. The 40mm%4mm
hot-gavanlizing flat steel should be used as the downleads of arresters.
l The external shielding layer of the BTS3601C antenna and feeder should be
grounded at the bottom of the antenna and at the front end beofore they are
connected to the BTS3601C. The grounding cable should be connected to the
cabling ladder or other metal grounding parts. The grounding cable should be
made of yellow-green (or black) plastic insulation copper wire with the core
diameter not less than 6mm2.
l Grounding bar can be installed on the metal holding support, or fixing beam, or
platform directly and reliable electric connection should be achieved among the
grounding bar and the metal parts aforementioned. A dedicated grounding
downlead should be installed on the grounding bar and be connected to the
counterpoise.
l Power cables and trunk cables should not be winded or bound on the arresters or
their downleads, instead, these cables should be kept as far as possible from the
downleads of arresters. Power cables and signal cables should be distributed
horizontally and the spacing between any two cables should be at least 5cm. And
they should not be routed vertically and crossly.
Hardware Installation
2 Installing Cabinet Hardware
2.2.4 Example of Metal Mast Installation on Building-top
Such installation of BTS3601C is applied for the coverage of villages and towns.
I. Facility requirements
l For an omni BTS, 3 masts should be used (one is used to install the lightning
arrester and the other two to install two monopole omni antennae. The spacing
between the latter two masts should be over 4.5m. Two masts are generally used
for a directional BTS, as dual polarization antenna is adopted for the BTS.
l The length of the mast should be determined by the height of the BTS3601C
antenna. However, based on the conditions on building-top, the mast length
should not be more than 8m.
l The mast should be made of steel pipe with sufficient intensity and the dialmeter
from 60mm to 114mm. Each mast must be secured by three steep ropes at least.
l A cabling rack should be installed between the masts on which the antenna is
fixed. Its height should be lower than 1.2m.
l The PGND bar should be fixed to the AC lightning protection box or at the bottom
of the IAFB mast and close to the building wall. Following are three methods to
connect the PGND cables:
a) If the equipment room is located in the building, lead the grounding cable from
the building-top to the grounding bar in the equipment room;
b) Connect the grounding cable to the counterpoise at the building bottom;
2-9

IV. Note
l First determine the mast on which the BTS3601C is to be installed during the
planning.
l For antenna jumper and feeder routed vertically, bind them on the metal masts
with the spacing of 30cm via black cable ties; for antenna feeder routed along the
cabling rack, fix them with the spacing of 1m or 2m via feeder clips.
l Power cables from BTS3601C to ODU3601C should be protected by metal tubes,
and fibers for cascading by currgated tube. Power cables and fibers routed
vertically should be bound on the metal masts via black cable ties, and those
routed horizontally should be bound to the cabling rack.
l Power cables should be distributed along the outer side of the cabling rack, and far
away from the fibers and feeders.
2.2.5 Example of Tower Installation
This mode is applied to such locations as fields, villages, towns, and roadsides to cover
villages, roads, etc. In this mode, the hoisting of BTS3601C is involved.
2-11
Page 90
Installation Manual
iSiteC BTS3601C CDMA Base Station
I. Facility requirements
l The support on which the directional antenna is installed should be extended out
of the platform for at least 0.5m. Proper support length of the omni antenna should
be determined to meet the requirements for the horizontal diversity distance (over
4.5m) between two antennae.
l The diameter of the holding support on which the antenna is installed should be
60mm~114mm. The length (generally, omni antenna: 1m; directional antenna: 3m)
of it should be determined according to the antenna type and sizes.
l A square platform(3m % 3m) should be established 3m above the ground with the
bearer capability more than 500kg. And a sun-shading shed should be established
3m above the platform.
l A 2m holding support should be fixed to the tower body vertically above the
platform so as to install BTS3601C, IAFB, etc. The number of supports is
determined by the number of BTS3601Cs, and the diameter of each support
should be 60mm~114mm.

III. Note
l When hoisting the BTS3601C, try to avoid any collision between BTS3601C and
the tower.
l Distribute feeders along one side of the tower evenly and tidily. And all feeders
should be fixed via feeder dual-clips.
l Install AC lightning protection box and grounding busbar on one support, and the
BTS3601C on the other. If the BTS3601C is cascaded with other BTS3601Cs,
install them on other supports.
l Install PGND bar on the tower directly. And its location should be close (the PGND
cable length should not be more than 1m) to AC lightning protection box. It should
have its dedicated grounding downlead (made of 40mm % 4mm hot-gavanlizing
flat steel). PGND bar and its downlead should be connected via 35mm2
yellow-green plastic insulation copper wire or welded directly. Neither the bar nor
the downlead should be insulated from the tower body.
l The external shielding layer of BTS3601C coaxial feeder should be grounded on
tower top and grounded before the feeder is connected to the BTS3601C. The
grounding cable should be connected to the tower body. The grounding cable
should be made of yellow-green (or black) plastic insulation copper wire with the
core diameter not less than 6mm2.
l Power cables and signal cables of BTS3601C should not be winded or bound on
the tower. They should be cabled as horizontally as possible.
