2.1.5 Grounding Inspection
The grounding regulations and resistance requirements (including the lightning
protection requirements) are as follows:
The communication equipment should be well grounded for reliable operation. Good
grounding ensures lightning protection and interference resistance. The grounding

Chapter
cables in the equipment room should be routed in a radiating or flat way. Three
independent grounding cables should be used. The protection ground of the DC power
distribution system, the work ground of the power system and the lightning protection
ground.
The grounding resistance of the BTS should be less than 5Ω. The engineering requires
the grounding resistance to be the smallest possible. The magnitude of grounding
resistance is affected by grounding post resistance, leading wire resistance, contact
resistance between the grounding post and soil, and soil type of. The greatest impact on
grounding resistance comes from soil type. In areas with poor soil conditions, some
resistance-reducing agent (such as propenamide) may be added around the grounding
stake to meet the requirements. Changes in temperature will also cause variations in
resistance. In cold areas, the impact of temperature on the resistance may be reduced
by burying the stake deeply into the ground. Grounding stakes are usually made of
galvanized materials, in proper size. The connection cables from the grounding stake to
the equipment should adopt copper-sheathed wires of good conductivity (core wire
2
section area less than 50mm
, and length as short as possible). If necessary, anti-erosion
protection can be provided to the grounding connection parts to guarantee
low-resistance connection.

The working ground refers to the loop formed through the earth to transmit energy and
information. For instance, the 3-phase AC power supply neutral line ground and the
positive battery ground are both working grounds. This grounding approach can resist
electromagnetic interference and crosstalk.
The protection ground refers to the grounding of the metal shell of the power supply
equipment to prevent hazards to human body due to power leakage.
In addition, the ground for lightning protection should be used to prevent lightning
strike from damaging the equipment and to protect the safety of lives and properties.

1. Connection between the DC distribution cabinet and the DC distribution panel
The PE grounding bar of the DC distribution cabinet must be reliably connected
to the protective grounding bar provided by the carrier through the yellow/green
wire with the copper core, plastic insulation layer and the same diameter as the
power cable.
The two -48V terminal blocks of the DC distribution cabinet should be reliably
connected to the -48V DC negative busbars of the active/standby DC
distribution panels respectively. The GND terminal blocks of the DC distribution
cabinet should be reliably connected to the -48V DC positive busbars of the
active/standby DC distribution panels respectively.
If there is no DC distribution cabinet, PE wiring terminals of the cabinets must
be reliably connected with the protective terminal blocks provided by the carrier.
The power cables led out from -48 V and GND wiring terminals of each cabinet
are directly connected to the -48V DC negative busbar and -48V DC positive
busbar of the DC distribution panel.
2. Connection between the DC distribution cabinet and the cabinet
Connect one end of the -48V power cable (blue, 16 mm2) to the -48V wiring
terminal on the filter of the cabinet, and the other end to the -48V busbar of the
DC distribution cabinet.

6 Installing the Grounding System
Summary
This part describes:
● Installation method of the BTS grounding system;
● Installation procedure of the BTS grounding system.
6.1 Overview of the BTS Grounding System
The purpose of grounding is to ensure the safety of human body and equipment and to
improve the capability of the equipment to resist electromagnetic interference.
The grounding system consists of indoor part, outdoor part and underground ground
grid of the building.
As to the engineering, the user is responsible for the basic ground grid construction of
the grounding system, the grounding engineering of the iron tower and the building,
and the provision of the connecting point for the indoor and the outdoor grounding
2
copper bars to connect the ground grid via separate 50mm
6.1-1.
The wire of the indoor rack PGND (protection ground) is connected to the indoor
grounding copper bar, as shown in Fig. 6.1-1.
The wire of the BTS rack –48VGND (working ground) is connected to the working
ground terminal of the BTS DC power rack.
To ground the lightning arrester, connect it to the outdoor grounding copper bar with a
wire. And to ground the feeder, connect each feeder to the outdoor grounding copper
bar through a grounding clip before it enters the equipment room, as shown in Fig.
6.1-1.
This section describes the grounding of the BTS equipment and the installation of the
grounding device accessories required for the BTS installation. It covers the
wires, as shown in Fig.

under the feeder window or on the rainproof wall of the feeder well on the roof top. In
principle, it is better to put it close to the feeder window.
During the practical installation, first determine the installation position of the
grounding copper bar by following the engineering design drawing, and then install the
grounding copper bar on the wall with the expansion bolts. See Fig. 6.2-1 for the
structure of the grounding copper bar.

6.2.2 Installing the Feeder Grounding Clip
Caution:
No installation of grounding clip should be performed in case of any lightning strike,
lest bodily injury may be incurred.
When installing the grounding clip, keep the feeder at the joint of the grounding clip
and the feeder straight.
6.2.2.1 Grounding Principles of Main Feeders
1. Usually, each main feeder should be grounded with grounding clips at least at
three positions: on the tower platform, at the place where the main feeder leaves
the tower for the outdoor cabling rack, and before the cable enters the equipment
room. When the main feeder is over 60m, grounding clips should be added in
the middle of it. Generally, a grounding clip is installed on the feeder every 20m.
6-3
ZXC10-BTS (V5.4) Installation Manual
2. The antenna feeder system, antenna support and new cabling rack installed on
the roof top should be welded to the lightning protection grid of the building.
The feeder should also be grounded at three positions: where it leaves the
antenna embracing pole, where it leaves the roof top, and where it enters the
equipment room.
3. When the main feeder enters the equipment room from the roof top along the
wall, the outdoor cabling ladder provided by the network operator must be
grounded. If not, urge the network operator to finish it as soon as possible.
Installing the Grounding Clip
6.2.2.2
1. Prepare the tools: Paper cutter, flathead screwdrivers, wrench and sharp-nose
pliers.
2. Select a proper installation position for the grounding clip. And cut open the
sheath of the 7/8" feeder to the size of the grounding clip. The structure of the
grounding clip is as shown in Fig. 6.2-2

grid. No reverse direction is allowed. The angle formed by the grounding wire
and the main feeder should not be more than 15°C. No reverse folding is
allowed.
In the case the antenna feeder system is installed on the tower, the grounding
wire of the grounding clip should be led downward along the tower body.
6-4
Chapter
In the case the antenna feeder system is installed on the roof top, the grounding
wire of the grounding clip should be led close to the building lightning
protection grid.
4. Before installing the grounding clip, wrap the grounding wire at the grounding
clip end that is close to the grounding wire copper sheet with the waterproof
adhesive tape, as shown in Fig. 6.2-3. This can improve the sealing effect and
prevent the rain from falling into the feeder interior along the grounding wire.
Fig. 6.2-3 Wrapping the Grounding Wire of the Grounding Clip with Waterproof Tape
Error! Style not defined. Error!
Style not defined.
5. Clamp the feeder external conductor with the grounding wire copper sheet and
the locking spring plate, so that the grounding wire copper sheet and the feeder
external conductor are fully meshed.
6. Take the following steps to conduct the waterproof treatment to the joint of the
grounding clip and the feeder:
1) First wrap the waterproof adhesive tapes and then wrap the PVC tapes.
2) To wrap the waterproof adhesive tapes, apply them layer by layer from bottom
to top first, then from top to bottom once again, and finally from bottom to top
thrice, that is, wrap three layers of them. During the process, make sure the
upper layer overlaps the lower layer by about half the width of the tapes.
7. The grounding end of the grounding clip can be connected to the main tower
body or the outdoor cabling rack (connected to the lightning protection grid of
the building) on the roof top. Remove paint and oxide within the radius of about
13mm at the connection place, and cover the clean area with antioxidant to
ensure good electric contact. When the grounding end is connected, paint
another coat of antirust paint.
8. Before the main feeder enters the room, the grounding end of the grounding clip
can be connected to the outdoor grounding bar.

6.2.3 Installing the Indoor Lightning Arrester
For the wide-band lightning arrester that need not be grounded separately, you may
directly connect it in serial to the place between the main feeder and the indoor set top
jumper. During the installation, the lightning arrester and indoor equipment as the
cabling rack should be insulated.
For the lightning arrester that need be grounded, a lightning arrester frame should be
provided. Please refer to the assembly instructions provided by the supplier for the
assembling of the lightning arrester frame. The installation steps are as follows:
1. Install the lightning arrester on its frame in advance.
During the installation, please note that the connectors at both ends of the
lightning arrester are different: One end is a DIN male connector (DIN-M) and
the other is a DIN female connector (DIN-F). Make sure that the DIN-M
connector of all the lightning arresters installed on the frame are in the same
direction, and the DIN-F connector of all the lightning arresters are in the same
direction. The lightning arrester should be securely installed on the frame and in
close contact with the frame.
2. Fix the assembled lightning arrester to the cabling rack.
Plan the installation position carefully to make both the main feeder and the set
top jumper easily be connected to the lightning arrester and to enable easy
cabling.
The lower part of the lightning arrester frame that is secured to the cabling rack
can be adjusted according to the width of the cabling rack.
When the lightning arrester frame is installed on the cabling rack, make sure that
its DIN-M connector points to the main feeder and its DIN-F connector points to
the connection line from the jumper to the rack.
3. The lightning arrester is installed indoor. Its grounding wire should be connected
to the outdoor grounding copper bar and should not contact with the conductor
of the indoor cabling rack. The lightning arrester frame is insulated from the
cabling rack.
The installation of the lightning arrester frame is as shown in Fig. 6.2-4.

7 Installing the Cabinet Internal Cables
Summary
This part describes:
● Configuration types of BTS and precautions of the
installation of the front panel RF cables;
●Cable installation in BTS single-carrier and two-carrier
configurations;
● Cable installation in BTS three-carrier above
configurations.
7.1 Overview of the Internal Cable Installation
7.1.1 Configuration Types of BTS
A macro BTS can be configured in various ways, e.g., single-carrier three-sector,
two-carrier three-sector and four-carrier three-sector as required by the installation
environment and traffic conditions.
The RFE model varies with the BTS configuration and the number/length of
connection lines configured for the front panel of the rack. The following sections
describe the typical configurations: Single-carrier single-sector, single-carrier
two-sector, single-carrier three-sector, and two-carrier three-sector.
7.1.2 Precautions for Installing the RF Cables on the Front Panel
The front panel of the BTS rack uses RF cables to transmit the uplink and downlink RF
signals between RFE, HPA and TRX. N-type interfaces and SMA interfaces are use.
During the cable installation, make sure to align the cables to the interfaces and screw
them tight.
Generally, the RF cables have been deployed for a new base station and what needs to
do is only take the feeder connectors out of the cabling trough on the front panel and
7-1
ZXC10-BTS (V5.4) Installation Manual
connect them to the RF interfaces on the front panel. However, re-cabling is required
for a base station to be expanded in capacity. Note that the RF cables are attached with
labels at both ends. The details are as follows:
1. The upper end (DIN connector) of the 1/2'' feeder from the RF front end to the
rack top has been installed to the rack top before factory delivery, so the onsite
installation only involves its lower end. During the installation, remove
dustproof cap from the lower end (N-type connector) of the feeder, hold the
lower end and slightly push the middle part of the feeder so that the feeder bends
naturally and its lower port aligns to the ANT port on the front panel of RFE,
and then fasten the screw cap. Please be noted that during the installation you
should align both the port and the screw cap to smoothly screw tight the 1/2''
feeder because it is short and has a certain rigidity.
2. Fig. 7.1-1 shows the structure of the RF connection lines between RFE, HPA
and TRX. The cables have all been deployed for the rack before factory delivery
if the base station is newly built. During the installation, open the baffle of the
cabling slot on the front panel and take out the connectors (SMA) and connect
them to the corresponding positions against the labels on the cables. For the
specific content of these labels, please refer to the information about "End A
Direction" and "End B Direction" given in Table 7.2-1, Table 7.2-2, Table 7.2-3
and Table 7.2-4 concerning the "Front Panel Wiring List" of multiple
configurations. Please also be noted that you should check the connectors
against the cable labels once again after installing them.
Label
Label
Fig. 7.1-1 Structure of the RF Cables on the Front Panel of the Rack
3. Some additional RFE, HPA and TRX modules are needed for a base station
requiring capacity expansion. The RF cables connecting them need onsite
connection. To do so, you should select the RF connection cables according to
the configuration requirements of the base station to be expanded, deploy the
feeders tidily and bind them securely inside the cabling troughs in accordance
7-2
Chapter

with the route requirements as regulated in the cabling diagram, and then
connect them one by one as instructed by their labels.
4. A load of 50Ω should be matched to each port that does not connect any RF
cable.
5. The cabling should be neat and in order, and no cable should be damaged during
the bundling or cutting of their cable ties.
