logic sub-channels is activated in the combination (such as one of the sub-channel of SDCCH is
activated), then this timeslot is considered to be activated.
4. Timeslots are distributed to public control channel and dedicated control channel (such as main
BCCH channel combination, extBCCH channel combination and etc.), the activation status of
these timeslots are defined as non-activated and will not be counted in the statistics of ACT.
5. If extBCCH channel combination is adopted, only when all the configured BCCH channels are
normal and the green indicator flashes when system information is sent; if one or more extBCCH
channels are blocked or break down, then the red indicators with the same number of defected
channels will flash. The time of flashing is the same as “1.”; If all the distributed extBCCH
channels are blocked or break down, then the red indicator keeps turned-on.

If RUN indicator is red, please check through the background or LMT if the LAPD of FUC and BSC has
broken link and if there is CMM and FUC communication halt alarm.
If MOD indicator is red, it means BCCH is blocked. First unblock the carrier frequency where BCCH is
located through dynamic data management; if it doesn’t work, reset this TRM module; if the fault still
exists, replace this TRM module then.

[Normal result]
Output power is required to be over 40W and gain flatness rate less than 0.5dB.
[Troubleshooting]
1. For base stations BTS (V2.0) with a power of 80W, if amplified output power cannot satisfy
technical conditions, it is advisable to first check if the TRU output level is within the specified
scope; if TRU output level is normal, then it may be the fault of the amplifier.
2. The common problem in amplifiers is that power amplifier module (upper level) and end level

3. Align SITEMASTER
2) Connect the short-circuit aligner (OPEN) with the backplane RF/REFLECTION and press
ENTER;
3) Connect the open-circuit aligner (SHORT) with RF/OUT and press ENTER to align the load;
4) Select SAVE SETUP to save this alignment (you can choose not to save it).
4. Connect SITEMASTER to one end of the arrestor with the testing cable.

Technical index of the arrestor should comply with the specifications in the product instructions. The
normal result should be over 20dB.
The resistance value of the conductors in high-frequency sockets on the two ends of the arrestor should
be over 20M .
The resistance value between the conductor connecting the end of the antenna and the ground should be
about 0 .
[Troubleshooting] If test result is beyond the normal result, replace the arrestor.
[Test recovery]Reconnect the connectors of the jumper with the two ports of the arrestor.. Power on
again all the TRM modules on the carrier frequency frame on PDM module panel and restore the
system.

Take BTS (V2.0) for example, there are two air filters for the cabinet. One is installed onto the dust-
proof plug box at the bottom of the cabinet; the other is installed onto the front door.
1. Ways to replace the air filter at the bottom of the cabinet are as follow:
126
Chapter 4 BTS Half-yearly Routine Maintenance
1) Open the cabinet door, loosen the two screws at the two sides of the dust-proof plug box and draw
the box out by pulling the two handles of the dust-proof plug box;
2) Remove the screws and take down the components of the air filter and then take off the net;
3) Rinse the net with clean water and dry it or replace a new net;
4) Reinstall the air filter onto the plug box and make sure the net is neatly and flatly put;
5) Push the plug box in along the guide rail till the back the board meets the front of the rail board,
then fasten the two screws and close the cabinet door.
Note: Attention: Take care of the radio frequency cables on the dust-proof plug box when
2. Replace the air filter on the cabinet door in the following way:
1) Open the cabinet door and take down the springs pressing the net. Be careful about the hooks on
the two sides of the spring not to pull them with force;
