Electrical Safety
Warning: In high DC and AC voltage operation, use
special purpose tools.

Danger: Direct or indirect contact with high DC or AC
voltage through any moist object may result in serious injury.

AC equipment installation must comply with the local safety
regulations.
Personnel responsible for AC equipment installation must have
proper qualification in high DC and AC power.
Do not wear a watch, chain, bracelet, ring or any other
conductive objects while working with high voltages.
Prevent moisture from entering the equipment while working in
a moist environment.

Danger: Do not perform high voltage and tower operations
in thunderstorm.

Thunderstorm produces a strong electromagnetic field in the
atmosphere, so avoid all tower and high voltage operations.
Take lightning protection measures by grounding the equipment
to prevent any damage.
Antistatic
Note: Static electricity produced by human body can
damage sensitive components on the circuit board, such as large
integrated circuits (ICs).

Friction caused by human body is the root cause of electrostatic
charge accumulation. In dry weather, the static charge carried
by human body can be up to 30 kV and can remain in human
body for a long time. Person carrying static charge can damage
a component by touching and hence transferring the charge to
the component.
To prevent human static charge from damaging sensitive
components, wear antistatic wrist strap and ground its other end
before touching the equipment or holding a plug board, circuit
board, IC chip etc.
To prevent accidental electric shock, serially connect the
connection cable between the wrist and grounding point with a
resistor above 1 M. A resistor above 1 M is enough to
discharge static voltage.
Check antistatic wrist strap regularly and never use a cable
other than the original cable that comes along with the wrist
strap.
Static-sensitive module or board should not touch the objects
that can carry static electricity. For example, friction caused by
package bags, transfer box and transfer belt made from
insulation plastic, may cause electrostatic shock to the
components because they can transfer static charge from human
body or floor.
Keep the static-sensitive module or board in anti-static bag
during storage and transportation.
Ground the test device to discharge the static charge before use.
Do not place the module or board near strong magnetic field,
such as cathode-ray tube of the monitor. Keep it at least 10 cm
away.
Lightning

Battery
Danger: A short-circuited battery can be harmful to
human body. Although common batteries have low voltage, but
instant powerful current caused by short circuit can release a
great amount of energy.

Prevent metal objects to short circuit the battery, for example,
short circuit caused by mishandling the operation tools. If
possible, cut the battery supply before any operation.

Danger: Do not use any unsealed lead-acid battery,
because the gases released by the battery may erode the
equipment or cause fire. Fix the battery and place it horizontally.

Select a ventilated place for the battery having proper fire
protection measures because a battery can release combustible
gases. To prevent high temperature due to sunshine, equip the
battery room with sun-screening curtains.

Danger: Very high temperature of the battery may cause
deformation, damage or acid liquid overflow.

If the battery temperature exceeds 60C, check acid liquid
overflow in the battery.
If acid liquid has overflowed, dispose off according to the local
regulations of chemical or special waste disposal.

Danger: If acid liquid overflows, absorb and neutralize it
as soon as possible.

Take special care of the acid liquids while moving a soaked
battery. If acid liquid overflows, use NaHCO
3
, Na

Important precautionary measures for routine maintenance are:
Keep the equipment room clean and at normal temperature
and humidity level. Take measure to keep it dust-proof,
damp-proof, and away from insects and rats.
Ensure stable and reliable primary power supply system.
Periodically check lightning and grounding system, especially
before and after a thunderstorm season.
Make work routines for maintenance personnel and keep a
shift record to specify responsibilities. Set maintenance
regulations for equipment room. For future reference,
maintain a detailed attendants log to provide records of
system operation, version, data change, upgrading and
troubleshooting after fault detection.
Set different NM passwords for different access rights and
change them periodically. NM passwords must be accessible
to maintenance personnel only.
Before taking over the maintenance post, maintenance
personnel must have knowledge about the equipment and
network architecture. Follow the instructions described in
BS30 manuals. Wear antistatic wrist strap before touching
the equipment to avoid accidents.
Cautiously plug or unplug boards, change over boards, load
or change data (particularly NM database). Take data backup
before making any changes. Do not delete data backup until
the equipment runs smoothly for some time (for example, a
week). Save all data changes in time.
Prepare frequently used tools and meters, such as, screws
(straight head and cross head), signal testers, network
cables, network cable pliers, multimeter, antistatic wrist
strap, insulation tape and common tool kit. Regularly check
meters accuracy.
Regularly check spare parts to maintain sufficient inventory
of frequently used spare parts. Prevent the inventory from
dampness or mold. Keep defective spare parts separate from
the new ones during replacement and label them for
distinction convenience. Restock frequently used spare parts
well in time.
Place software and documentation, required during
maintenance, at a convenient place.
Troubleshooting


Chapter 2 Overview


Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 13
Make sure that lighting in the equipment room is bright
enough for maintenance.
Immediately contact ZTEs local office incase of any
emergency. Write telephone number and address of ZTEs
local office at a place where it is viewable to all maintenance
personnel. Remember to get the latest contact numbers of
ZTE.

Note: Ensure availability of AC power outlet at every site.

Common Maintenance
Methods
There are a number of methods to locate faults during routine
maintenance. Some common methods are as follows:

This is the first method that maintenance personnel adopt while
detecting faults. It is available in the alarm management and
operation log interface of OMCR, refer to ZXG10-BSS (v2.95)
Operation Manual.
Current alarms, history alarms and general notifications reported
by various network elements are available in alarm management
interface. This interface helps in detecting abnormity in the
system, locating and isolating a fault, and troubleshooting it.
Operation log can help in quickly tracking down the changes
made in system parameters, locating related terminals and
operators, and detecting manually generated faults.

Analyzing LED indicator status is a common maintenance
method. Observe LED indicator status on the front panels of
various boards to locate faults.
Maintenance personnel must have complete knowledge about all
LED indicators.

Maintenance personnel manage BSS system performance and
track signaling though performance management interface of
OMCR, refer to ZXG10-BSS (v2.95) Operation Manual.

performance reports to view BSS performance indices, such as
cell traffic, SDCCH and TCH congestion ratio, handover success
and failure. Information analysis helps to know about the
network load distribution and adjust network parameters to
improve network performance.
BSS signal tracing, including Gb interface signaling, is available
in signal tracing interface. It includes commissioning, viewing
signaling procedures for maintenance purpose, and finding
problems during signaling coordination.

It refers to the auxiliary instruments used by the maintenance
personnel for fault analysis, location and troubleshooting.
Instruments include testing handset, spectrum analyzer,
signaling analyzer, power meter and site master.

It refers to removing faults caused by loose connectors or
modules. The following steps describe the procedure:
1. Power off the board
2. Unscrew the board screws
3. Remove external interface cables
4. Unplug and plug the board
5. Connect the external interface cables
6. Press the cable connectors
7. Power on the board

It is a method to interchange a would-be faulty board with a
similar board in terms of operational status, jumper and
connection lines. It can be a board in the same slot position in
another module. This method helps to check whether the board
has a fault.
Change is a method to replace a would-be faulty board with a
spare part or a normal board within the system. Use this method
to check whether the fault disappears. Refer to Appendix A of
ZXG10-BS30 (v1.5) Compact Outdoor BTS Troubleshooting
Manual for plugging and unplugging a board.

If certain part in the system is faulty, isolate it from the related
circuit boards or cabinets to check if the fault is due to
interaction. For example, self-loop on E1 interface in the CMM
board can remove CMM or transmission fault.

Self-test can help to identify a fault when system or board
reboots. Generally, when a board powers on, LED indicators on
the board flash regularly. If they do not flash, it means there is a
problem.
