Each forbidden zone should be indicated by a physical barrier and striking sign to warn the
public or workers.
Laser
CAUTION
When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look into the optical fiber outlet with
unaided eyes.
Laser transceivers or transmitters are used in the optical transmission system and associated test
tools. Because the laser that is transmitted through the optical fiber produces a small beam of
light, it has a very high power density and is invisible to human eyes. If a beam of light enters
the eye, the retina may be damaged.
Normally, staring into the end of an unterminated optical fiber or broken optical fiber with the
unaided eyes from a distance of more than 150 mm [5.91 in.] will not cause eye injury. Eyes
may, however, be damaged if an optical tool such as a microscope, magnifying glass or eye
loupe is used to stare into the bare optical fiber end.
Read the following guidelines to prevent laser radiation:
l
Only the trained and authorized personnel can perform the operation.
Wear a pair of eye-protective glasses when you are handling lasers or optical fibers.
Ensure that the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiber connectors.
Never look into the end of an exposed optical fiber or an open connector if you cannot
ensure that the optical source is switched off.
To ensure that the optical source is switched off, use an optical power meter.
Before opening the front door of an optical transmission system, ensure that you are not
exposed to laser radiation.
Never use an optical tool such as a microscope, a magnifying glass, or an eye loupe to look
into the optical fiber connector or end.
1-8
Only the trained personnel can cut and splice optical fibers.
Before cutting or splicing an optical fiber, ensure that the optical fiber is disconnected from
the optical source. After disconnecting the optical fiber, use protecting caps to protect all
the optical connectors.

To ensure proper operation of the BTS3900 power system, parameters of the power input must
meet corresponding specifications.
Issue 03 (2008-07-15)
DC input
The on/off overshoot amplitude is not greater than 5% of the DC output voltage.
Dynamic response: The restore time is less than 200 ms. The overshoot value is less
than or equal to 5% of the DC output voltage.
DC supply system
When designing the capacity of the DC power supply system, you should consider the
maximum load of the system in dynamic and static modes. In addition, reserve the
remaining system resource.
To shorten the DC feeder, place the power equipment close to the telecommunications
equipment. To reduce power consumption and installation cost, ensure that the voltage
drop of the loop between the battery port and the port on the equipment is less than 3.2
V.
For the office with large traffic volume, configure multiple power supply systems in
different floors. The power supply systems are used for different equipment rooms.
For the office with medium traffic volume, configure a centralized power room or
battery room, or adopt the distributed power supply mode. For the office with small
traffic volume, use the integrated power supply. Note that you should prevent the
corrosive gas released by the battery from eroding the board.
The power supply in dispersed mode is preferred. Use multiple DC power supply
systems and place power equipment in multiple positions.

Use the standard DC power supply system, and set the output voltage of the power
system within the required range.
Improve the reliability of the AC power supply system, and reduce storage batteries.
For small offices, add batteries if it is difficult to enhance the reliability of the AC power
supply system.
Storage battery
Install the storage batteries in two or more groups. The capacity is determined by the
duration when the storage batteries supply power to the load. The following lists
recommended duration when the storage batteries supply power to the load for most offices.
The duration is specified with the allowable power failure considered.
The backup duration for Class 1 mains ranges from 0.5 to 1 hour.
The backup duration for Class 4 mains is divided into two scenarios:
If there is only one power input with frequent power failures, the backup duration
ranges from 8 to 10 hours.
If there are seasonal power failures or unavailable mains that occupy a long time,
the backup duration ranges from 20 to 24 hours.
In the unmanned site, the following factors must be considered for the storage batteries:
Time cost on driving at an average speed from the location of maintainer to the
unmanned site
No maintainer available at night for rectifying the fault at unmanned sites on top
of maintains or at suburbs
For the site equipped with the generator which can be started at a delayed time, the
storage batteries should discharge power less than or equal to 20% of total capacity
within the delayed period.
3-2
When determining the AC power distribution capacity in the equipment room, you should
consider the working current and fault current of the equipment. Each equipment must have
an independent AC distribution protection device. The current threshold of the distribution
protection switch for the equipment must be greater than that for the lower-level equipment.
If the voltage stability does not meet the requirement, you should use voltage regulators to
guarantee the voltage range. The voltage regulator should be used in either of the following
two scenarios:

The reinforced concrete structure should be applied to the construction of the equipment
room.
The lightning protection grounding should share the same grounding body with the
protection grounding of the equipment room.
A dedicated power transformer must be used for the equipment room. Power cables must
be covered with the metal jacket or insulation jacket, led through with the steel pipe, buried
in the ground, and then routed to the equipment room. Both ends of the metal jacket or the
steel pipe should be properly grounded nearby. The power cables that are buried in the
ground must be at least 15 m long.
A seamless zinc oxide lightning arrester must be installed at the low voltage side of the AC
power transformer for the BTS. Ground nearby and properly the enclosure of the
transformer, the neutral lines at the low voltage side, and the metal jacket for the power
cables connected to the enclosure of the transformer.
The AC/DC power cables must be not led in to or out of the equipment room in overhead
mode.
After the low-voltage power cables are led into the equipment room, the lightning arrester
for the power cables must be installed in the AC voltage regulator and the AC power
distribution panel (box). The nominal discharging current of the lightning arrester must be
greater than 20 kA, and the arrester must be grounded nearby and properly.

backbone network, the BSC and the BTS can be directly connected to the transmission
network through the E1 or SDH ports in ATM/IP mode. If the BTS is directly connected
to the BSC through the E1 cable, the overhead transmission mode should be avoided. If
you have to use the overhead transmission mode, the E1 cable must be coated with the
metal jacket. The maximum transmission distance of the 75-ohm trunk cable is 200 meters.
Additional transmission devices are required if the transmission distance is longer than 200
meters. The E1 or FE cables can be used in IP transmission mode. The IP transmission
devices, such as LANSWITCH and ROUTER, are required.
If the BTS is deployed at the far end of the BSC and MAN or backbone network, and within
the Line of Sight (LOS) of microwave transmission, the microwave transmission should
be used. The indoor units of the microwave transmission devices are installed in the space
reserved in the cabinet.
If the BTS is at the far end of the BSC and the MAN or backbone network, and is not within
the LOS of microwave transmission, the xDSL transmission should be used when there are
sufficient fixed lines. Huawei recommends that you install the xDSL transmission devices
in the space reserved in the cabinet.
