SC 4812T-MC vs SC 4812T BTS Read Me First (Comparison)
Read Me First
SC 4812T-MC vs SC 4812T BTS Read Me First (Comparison)
This Read-me-first document describes a summary of changes between
the existing SCt4812T BTS and the SC 4812T-MC (Multicarrier) BTS.
The SC 4812T-MC is based on the existing SC 4812T platform and
employs similar hardware and architecture. The differences between
these products are briefly described and illustrated below. This section is
not intended to replace the SC 4812T-MC manual set.
Multicarrier provides the capability for all PAs in all quadrants to
provide trunked power across all sector/carriers. This differs from the
previous architecture in which PA modules within a quadrant provided
trunked power to only one carrier. Furthermore, in SC 4812T-MC,
adjacent channels can be combined onto one antenna versus being
transmitted on separate antennas in SC 4812T.
An overview of the BTS differences is illustrated in the following table
and in illustrations on the following pages (Figure 1 thru Figure 4).

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all
phases of operation, service, and repair of the equipment described in
this manual. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific
warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design,
manufacture, and intended use of the equipment. Motorola, Inc. assumes
no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.
The safety precautions listed below represent warnings of certain dangers
of which we are aware. You, as the user of this product, should follow
these warnings and all other safety precautions necessary for the safe
operation of the equipment in your operating environment.
To minimize shock hazard, the equipment chassis and enclosure must be
connected to an electrical ground. If the equipment is supplied with a
three-conductor ac power cable, the power cable must be either plugged
into an approved three-contact electrical outlet or used with a
three-contact to two-contact adapter. The three-contact to two-contact
adapter must have the grounding wire (green) firmly connected to an
electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. The power jack and
mating plug of the power cable must meet International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) safety standards.
NOTE
Do not operate in an explosive
atmosphere
Keep away from live circuits
Refer to Grounding Guideline for Cellular Radio Installations –
68P81150E62.
Do not operate the equipment in the presence of flammable gases or
fumes. Operation of any electrical equipment in such an environment
constitutes a definite safety hazard.
Operating personnel must:
S not remove equipment covers. Only Factory Authorized Service
Personnel or other qualified maintenance personnel may remove
equipment covers for internal subassembly, or component
replacement, or any internal adjustment.
S not replace components with power cable connected. Under certain
conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable
removed.
S always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them.
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment, unless another person,
capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present.

Dangerous procedure
warnings
68P64115A19–4
Breakage of the Cathode–Ray Tube (CRT) causes a high-velocity
scattering of glass fragments (implosion). To prevent CRT implosion,
avoid rough handling or jarring of the equipment. The CRT should be
handled only by qualified maintenance personnel, using approved safety
mask and gloves.
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install
substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification of equipment.
Contact Motorola Warranty and Repair for service and repair to ensure
that safety features are maintained.
Warnings, such as the example below, precede potentially dangerous
procedures throughout this manual. Instructions contained in the
warnings must be followed. You should also employ all other safety
precautions that you deem necessary for the operation of the equipment
in your operating environment.
WARNING
Dangerous voltages, capable of causing death, are present in this
equipment. Use extreme caution when handling, testing, and
adjusting.

The SC 4812T-MC Base Transceiver Station can be a stand alone BTS,
or can be co-located with an SC 4812T for use as an expansion frame. In
a single stand alone configuration, the SC4812T-MC system is capable
of supporting a maximum of 4 carriers in 3-sector configuration or 2
carriers in 6-sector configuration. With the addition of one expansion
frame, the maximum carrier capacity becomes 8 in a 3-sector
configuration or 4 in a 6-sector configuration.
This document provides information pertaining to the specific hardware
and cable installation of the Motorola 1X SCt4812T–MC BTS
Multicarrier frame.
The basic frame installation procedure is described in the SC ProductFamily Frame Mounting Guide – 68P09226A18. For detailed
installation information on non-Motorola equipment, refer to the vendor
manuals provided with such equipment.
