Product Description
The SC 4812ET BTS consists of an RF Cabinet that is an outdoor,
weatherized version of the SC 4812T. The RF cabinet is powered by 27
VDC and each cabinet has the capability to support up to 4 carriers (at 3
sector) or 2 carriers (at 6 sector). An optional outdoor, weatherized
Power Cabinet that provides AC/DC rectified power and battery back–up
is also available. An air to air heat exchanger is used for conditioning
each cabinet, except in the LPA area of the RF cabinet which uses
blower fans to draw outside air over the LPAs.
The SC 4812T utilizes a new RF “Trunking” technique that provides
shared power between sectors and increased RF output capability. The
SC 4812ET will support additional expansion cabinets to add more
carriers. Duplexer/Directional couplers will be standard equipment for
the SC 4812ET BTS.
The RF Cabinet houses the fan modules, Combined CDMA Channel
Processor shelf (C–CCP), Linear Power Amplifiers (LPA) modules, LPA
trunking backplane, Bandpass 2:1 & 4:1 Combiners, Duplexer/Receive
Filter/Directional Couplers (DRDC) and a DC Power distribution
assembly. The Power Cabinet (PC) provides +27 V DC distribution and
battery backup for the SC 4812ET. The Power Cabinet houses batteries,
battery heaters, rectifiers, an AC Load Center (ACLC), a power
distribution assembly, and two duplexed GFCI convenience outlets.

Overview
The major components which make up the Motorola SC 4812ET RF
Cabinet (see Figure 1-2) and Power Cabinet (see Figure 1-7) system are
illustrated in this section.
CAUTION
A service tent [reference: Pelsue Cabinet Mounted Service
Tent; Pelsue (800–525–8460) P/N CM564866M] must be
in place prior to opening the main doors of the SC 4812ET
RF or Power Cabinet during times of inclement weather
(rain, snow, sleet, or hail). This will prevent moisture from
being drawn into the electronics by internal fans and
damaging the equipment.
A service tent [reference: Pelsue Cabinet Mounted Service
Tent; Pelsue (800–525–8460) P/N CM564866M] with a
heater is required to service the SC 4812ET RF Cabinet
when temperatures are below –10 degrees C (14 degrees
F). Temperatures inside the tent should be above 0 degrees
C (32 degrees F) prior to opening the main cabinet door.
This will prevent a rapid temperature change to the
electronics which could result in site outage.

The External Blower Assembly (see Figure 1-5) is a modular unit that
provides cooling to the LPA’s, two blowers are used in the RF Cabinet.
Figure 1-5: External Blower Assembly (EBA)
CAUTION
The EBA contains two blowers and provides cooling that
is VITAL to prevent service outage and possible damage
to the LPAs. Since the SC 4812ET can continue to operate
normally with one functional blower in the EBA, the EBA
should not be removed until the replacement EBA is
onsite. Then, the EBA is replaced as a unit while the RF

This chapter covers the SC 4812ET BTS site preparation recommended
guidelines.
Installation sites can be classified into one of the three following
categories: Indoor, Rooftop or Outdoor.
All applications will have common requirements and considerations.
Differences between the location site requirements will be covered
throughout the installation section. The following information is meant
to serve as a guideline and can be impacted by site specific
considerations.
Indoor Location
WARNING
Every effort should be made to provide a safe working area
for all installation and service personnel.
CAUTION
The mounting surface must be flat. Door closure problems
may occur if the cabinets are not installed on a flat surface.
IMPORTANT
*
The following items should be considered when choosing an indoor
location for the SC 4812ET BTS:
– A permanent location is more desirable than a temporary one.
– The cabinets should be placed in a location with appropriate
Care should be taken to ensure that the AC power pedestal

– Adequate ventilation must be available to dissipate heat loads of
7,500 Watts (25,600 Btu / hr) for the RF Cabinet and 3,000 Watts
(10,300 Btu / hr) for the Power Cabinet (a total of 10,500 Watts;
35,900 Btu / hr), and maintain a maximum temperature of no
greater than 50 Deg C (122 Deg
– The AC meter and main disconnect should not be mounted to either
cabinet.
– Locations should be selected that will minimize accidental or
intentional vandalism. Do not select a location that is, or may be,
subject to submersion (i.e. diversion channels, sub–basements, etc).
While the RF and Power Cabinet are well insulated from the
environment, they will not tolerate submersion.
– There should be adequate clearance through doors and passageways
to allow movement of the cabinet from the delivery area to the
installation site.
– Verify, prior to final site selection, the availability and accessibility
to good grounding (ground system resistance must be less than 10
Ohms, with 5 Ohms or less being the goal; see ”Recommended
Documentation” for Grounding Guidelines), RF cabling, Telco
wiring, and 208–240 VAC power.
– There should be adequate space available for the future addition of
expansion or optional equipment.
– The location of an AC power pedestal to mount the AC meter, main
breaker, generator plug, etc. (if necessary), is at the installers option.
– Every effort should be made to minimize the separation distance
between the RF and Power Cabinet (see Table 2-1) for maximum
cable length between cabinets

Rooftop Location
In addition to the Indoor location considerations, the following
2
additional items should be considered when choosing a Rooftop
location:
WARNING
Roof load carrying limits must be reviewed and an
appropriate support structure must be installed to support
the cabinets as required.
CAUTION
The cabinets must be elevated sufficiently above the roof
surface to prevent water from puddling around its base.
Although the cabinets are well insulated from the
environment they will not tolerate submersion.
Loading Considerations (also see Table 2-2):
– A single SC 4812ET RF Cabinet can weigh up to 680 kg. (1500
lbs) and a single Power Cabinet enclosure can weigh up to 1590 kg.
(3500 lbs) with the batteries installed (batteries are shipped
separately). Expansion enclosures and optional equipment will add
weight (refer to the introduction section of this manual for obtaining
detailed information on the optional equipment).
NOTE
The Power Cabinet as shipped without batteries installed
can weigh up to 544 kg (1200 lbs.).
– When the cabinet is to be roof mounted, be sure to consider the rain
and/or snow loading of the region when determining whether the
roof can support the load.
Zoning requirements – that relate to building mounted equipment
should be checked for any restrictions that may affect cabinet or antenna
placement.
Adequate clearance through doors, passageways and stairwells to allow
movement of the cabinet from the delivery area to the installation site.

In addition to the Indoor location considerations, the following
additional items should be considered when choosing an outdoor
location:
– The cabinet should be placed in a location with appropriate
clearance from any obstructions. For minimum clearances see
Chapter 1.
– It should be the practice of any installing company to acquire, in
advance of construction, the rights of way from landowners, and
permits or approvals from public authorities. It is recommended that
the BTSs be placed in servitudes, on dedicated (recorded)
easements, or on property owned by the company. Unrecorded
easements should be avoided.
– The cabinet should be easily accessible with adequate parking to
ensure craftsmen and vehicle safety. Also, place the cabinet where it
will not create a visual or physical obstruction to either vehicular or
pedestrian traffic.
– Locations should be selected that will minimize accidental or
intentional vandalism. The use of protective posts and/or fences
should be considered when located near parking areas where
vehicles may hit the cabinet.
– Every effort should be made to minimize the separation distance
between the RF and Power Cabinet (see Table 2-1).

The AC power pedestal or meter should be provided with a breaker to
protect the cable from the pedestal to the Power Cabinet. The Power
Cabinet rating is 130Amp. A 150–amp breaker is recommended, or as
appropriate for local electrical code.
The Power Cabinet is rated at 130 Amps (100 Amps
continuous / 130 Amps non–continuous, in the range of
208–240V AC, see Table 5-32 for details). Maximum
cable size that can be accommodated is 300 kc mil.
Cabling sizing should be determined by Local Electrical
Codes, using 90Deg C rated conductors, and derated for
50 Deg C operation. Motorola recommends not less than

For an installation where the cabinet will mount flush to an existing
concrete floor, all of the connections to the cabinet will be made through
the rear I/O area of the cabinet. For this reason, the cabinet must be set
in place and bolted down prior to running any conduits or wiring.
Conduit/wire routing will be discussed in Chapter 5.
Lightning protection is provided with the cabinet. A good earth ground
(ground system resistance must be less than 10 Ohms, with 5 Ohms or
less being the goal), is required for the lightning protection equipment to
perform properly. Refer to Motorola’s guidelines (Motorola Publication

Rooftop (Elevated)
New Concrete Pad
For most rooftop installations all of the connections to the cabinet will
be made through the rear of the cabinet I/O area. For this reason, the
cabinet must be set in place and bolted down prior to running any
conduits or wiring. Conduit/wire routing will be discussed in Chapter 5.
Lightning protection is included in the cabinet. A good earth ground
(ground system resistance must be less than 10 Ohms, with 5 Ohms or
less being the goal) is required for the lightning protection equipment to
perform properly. Refer to Motorola’s guidelines (Motorola Publication
68P81150E62) for details on the design of a grounding system. Conform
to local electrical construction standards for conduit materials and sizing.
For a rooftop installation which is elevated sufficiently above the roof
surface, most of the connections can be made through the bottom of the
cabinet by terminating the conduit at the bottom of the rear I/O area. See
Figure 2-6 for recommended conduit/cable entrance layout.
CAUTION
The mounting surface must be flat. Door closure problems
may occur if the cabinets are not installed on a flat surface.
To help reduce the chance of damage caused by lightning
strikes, it is required that a ground ring be constructed
when the pad is built. See section titled ”Ground System
Installation”.
50
Variations in pad construction methods may be required to comply with
local conditions, practices, or building codes.
Install the grounding system, and electrical conduits (see Figure 2-3,
Figure 2-4, and Figure 2-6) prior to pad construction. Refer to the
Motorola guidelines (Motorola Publication 68P81150E62) for details on
the design of a grounding system. Conform to local electrical
construction standards for conduit materials and sizing. Refer to
Table 2-6 and Table 2-7 for minimum bend radius of antenna cables and
maximum number of cables in a conduit.
If it is desired to make cabling through the bottom of the cabinets, it is
recommended that the conduits be positioned using the dimensions
given in Figure 2-5 prior to pouring the concrete pad. Installation in this
manner allows for the connections to the RF and Power Cabinet to be
made through the bottom of the I/O area, although it may be desirable to
make the antenna connections through the rear wall. For the connections
that are made through the bottom of the I/O area, conduits and wiring
can be installed prior to arrival of the cabinet.

Connection Materials
CAUTION
Conduits that are pre–installed in a concrete pad below
grade must be capped at the time of conduit installation to
prevent rainwater from collecting in the conduit.
WARNING
If a precast concrete foundation pad is used, the pad should
be in place before the cables are installed. This will avoid
an unsafe condition caused by personnel reaching under a
pad, as it is lowered, to feed cable through the pad
openings.

The RGPS Head requires specific mounting considerations in order to
properly observe the GPS satellites.
– The mounting pipe for the RGPS Head should be mounted
vertically with less than five degrees of tilt.
– The RGPS Head needs to have a clear view of the sky, preferably to
within ten degrees of the horizon in all directions. The less sky that
can be observed the fewer the number of potential satellites that can
be tracked and hence the poorer the RGPS performance.
– For general operation, the RGPS Head needs to be able to
continuously track signals from at least four (4) GPS satellites. It is
theoretically possible to operate the BTS with only one GPS
satellite visible, however, operating in this mode it is not
recommended and requires an accurate site survey.
Apr 2001
SCTM 4812ET RF and Power Cabinet Hardware Installation Manual
DRAFT
57
Site Preparation– continued
– Place the RGPS Head where RF obstructions of the sky are
minimized. The “sky” includes everything to within ten degrees
(10°) of the horizon in all directions. RF obstructions includes
2
buildings, towers, snow, foliage and debris.
– Separate the RGPS Head from radiating sources. Excessive RF
energy can degrade the RGPS head’s ability to observe the GPS
satellites. The RGPS head receives on the GPS L1 frequency of
1575.42 MHz and has filters incorporated within to minimize the
effects of potential RF interference, however, strong radiators can
overwhelm the filters, thus degrading the units reception capability.
– The RGPS Head is rated for ambient air temperatures from –40 Deg
C to +50 Deg C, and has ratings for Humidty, Shock, Waterproof,
UV Light Resistance, Vibrations, Salt, Fog, ESD, EMI, and
Altitude.
– The RGPS system will support up to 2000 feet (610 m) of overall
cable length from the RGPS Head to the last connected base station.
If a long cable run needs to be broken into pieces, minimize the
number of breaks in the cable.

Ensure battery heater circuit breakers in ACLC are ”OFF” before heater pad
installation.
Remove the battery mounting bracket (see Figure 4-6) for the appropriate battery slot.
2If this is the first heater pad installed in the battery cabinet (and therefore located in
one of the two bottom battery slots) remove the “Heater Pad Cable Terminating
Connector” from the end of the factory installed cable in the bracket at the back of the
bottom slot of the battery compartment (see Figure 4-7).
* IMPORTANT
Save this terminating connector, it must be used to terminate the cable of the last
heater pad in the battery compartment.
3Remove the adhesive liners, and slide the heater pad into the slot, ensuring proper
orientation (see Figure 4-4) and that the heater pad rests flat on the battery shelf with
the cable to the rear.

4Connect the short heater pad cable to either:
– The cable (factory installed) to the bracket in the back of the bottom slot, if the
heater pad is in position 1 or 2 (see Figure 4-6 and Figure 4-7).
– The long cable of the heater pad in the slot below, if the heater pad is not the first
in the compartment (see Figure 4-7).
* IMPORTANT
Verify that the connector latches engage (there should be an audible “click”) when
connecting cables.
5If the heater pad is the last (top) in the series of heater pads (and therefore does not
have a heater pad above it), terminate the long cable with the terminating connector
removed from the factory installed cable in step 2.
6Repeat this procedure until all heater pads are installed, then proceed to the battery
installation.
IMPORTANT
*
After all of the heater pads have been installed and cables
connected, dress the cables behind the battery shelves in
each battery compartment. When dressing cables,
consideration should be given to future accessibility of the
cables should a heater ever need to be replaced. Do not zip
tie cables to battery shelves or each other. Also, do not
tangle cables in one another. Ensure cables are routed such
that a heater pad cable connector for one shelf can be
pulled up from the shelf below it without having to remove
the batteries below.

Important:
After all of the heater pads have been installed and cables connected, dress the
cables behind the battery shelves in each battery compartment. When dressing
cables, consideration should be given to future accessibility of the cables should
a heater ever need to be replaced. Do not zip tie cables to battery shelves or each
other. Also, do not tangle cables in one another. Ensure cables are routed such
that a heater pad cable connector for one shelf can be pulled up from the shelf
below it without having to remove the batteries below.

SCTM 4812ET RF and Power Cabinet Hardware Installation Manual
This chapter provides the SC 4812ET RF and Power Cabinet
inter-cabinet cabling procedures.
Before starting to install cables, it is recommended that you become
familiar with the equipment and the cable connection locations. You can
start by reviewing the information found in this chapter.
WARNING
– Do NOT wear a wrist strap when servicing the power
supplies or power distribution cabling. Serious
personal injury can result.
– Before starting the procedure, ensure that the Power
Cabinet power cables are not connected to the main
source.
5
CAUTION
– Static sensitive equipment requires that ESD
protective gear such, as a wriststrap, be used during
the installation and repair.
– A wriststrap is supplied with the installation hardware
and a jack is in the C–CCP Cage in the RF Cabinet
(See Figure 1-6).

WARNING
– A service tent [reference: Pelsue Cabinet Mounted
Service Tent; Pelsue (800–525–8460) P/N
CM564866M] must be in place prior to opening the
main doors of the SC4812ET RF or Power Cabinet
during times of inclement weather (rain, snow, sleet,
or hail). This will prevent moisture from being drawn
into the electronics by internal fans and damaging the
equipment.
– A service tent [reference: Pelsue Cabinet Mounted
Service Tent; Pelsue (800–525–8460) P/N
CM564866M] with a heater is required to service the
SC4812ET RF Cabinet when temperatures are below
–10 Deg C (14 Deg F). Temperatures inside the tent
should be above 0 Deg (32 Deg F) prior to opening
the main cabinet door. This will prevent a rapid
temperature change to the electronics that could result
in a site outage.

Function
ALARM connections provide Customer Defined Alarm Inputs and
Outputs. The customer can connect RF Cabinet site alarm input sensors
and output devices to the RF Cabinet, thus providing alarm reporting of
active sensors as well as controlling output devices.
Connections
Table 5-6 describes the characteristics and requirements for the inputs
(each of which consists of a single 2–wire pair) and outputs (each of
which consists of two 2–wire pairs; COM–NC and COM–NO).
InputsOutputs
To ensure proper operation, each wire pair to be used
must be connected to an external transducer that
5
provides a dry contact.
– A closed contact including cable resistance must
be 1K ohms or less.
– An open contact including cable leakage must be
50K ohms or greater.
Either of the above states can be defined by the
customer in system software as an alarm condition.
Alarm and Span Line Cable
Pin/Signal Information
Table 5-7 lists the complete pin/signal identification for the 50–pin
punch block.
The customer output device control inputs connect
between the common (COM) and either the normally
closed (NC) or normally open (NO) contacts of a
relay.
– Relay contacts are load rated for a maximum of
1A @ 30V DC and 1A @ 30V AC resistive.
The toggling of the relay contacts to the opposite
state is controlled by system software.
