l Dispose of burned waste with care. Stick to local safety regulations for the treatment of
parts or waste that has hydrofluoride.
l When disposing of the parts or waste, adopt necessary measures to avoid inhaling toxic
gases.
4 Electric Safety
High Voltage
DANGER
High-voltage power supply is required for the operation of the equipment. Direct or indirect
contact with damp objects connected to high-voltage wires or mains supply may be fatal.
CAUTION
Improper high-voltage operations may result in accidents such as fire and electric shocks. Stick
to local codes and regulations when routing the AC power cables. Engineers handling high-
voltage operations should be qualified and trained.
l When mounting the AC power supply equipment, stick to the local safety regulations.
Engineers involved in mounting AC power supply devices should be qualified in high-
voltage and AC power operations.
l Do not wear any electrical conductors such as watch, hand chain, bracelet or ring during
the operation.
l If the cabinet is wet, switch off the power supply immediately.
l Keep the equipment dry in humid environment.
Power Cable
CAUTION
Do not install or remove live power wires. Contact between power cables and conductors may
cause electric spark or arc, thereby causing fire or eye injury.
l Switch off the power supply before installing or removing the power cables.
l Before connecting the cables, make sure that the cable and the cable tag to be used match
the actual installation.
Labels on the Cable
CAUTION
Before connecting the cables, ensure that their labels are correct.

BTS3012
Binding the Signal Cable
CAUTION
Bind the signal cable and the power cable separately. When the signal cable and the power cable
are parallel, the distance between them inside the cabinet should be at least 10 mm [0.39 in.].
The distance between the signal cable and the power cable outside the cabinet should be at least
100 mm [3.9 in.].
Leakage Current
CAUTION
To avoid large leakage current, ground the equipment before connecting it to the power supply.
Before feeding AC input power to the equipment, connect the grounding terminal of the
equipment housing to the earth. The purpose is to avoid electric shock to human body due to
current leakage. The current is caused by the EMI filter earth capacitance of the equipment AC
input terminal or the Y capacitance of primary power supply.
Fuse
CAUTION
Do not install or remove active fuses.
Tools
CAUTION
High-voltage and AC power operations require special tools instead of general-purpose or
makeshift tools.
Drilling Holes
CAUTION
Do not drill holes on the cabinet without prior permission. Improper drilling may damage the
connections and cables inside the cabinet. Metal filings from the drilling may cause short-circuit
to the board if the fillings fall into the cabinet.
l To drill holes on the cabinet, wear insulated gloves and remove the cables inside the cabinet.

BTS3012
l Protect your eyes while drilling. Flying metal filings may hurt your eyes or skin.
l Prevent metal filings from falling into the cabinet.
l Improper drilling reduces electromagnetic shielding performance of the cabinet.
l After drilling, remove all the metal filings immediately.
Thunderstorm
DANGER
Do not operate on towers or poles with high voltage and AC power during thunderstorms.
Thunderstorms can generate powerful electromagnetic field in the atmosphere. Ground the
equipment properly to prevent the equipment from lightning.
Inflammable Objects
DANGER
Do not place the equipment in an environment where inflammable objects, explosives or smog
exists. Do not perform any operation in this environment.
5 ESD Protection
NOTE
A mini BTS has no requirements for ESD operation.
CAUTION
Static electricity generated on human body may damage the electrostatic-sensitive parts of the
circuit board, such as large-scale integrated circuit.
Wear an ESD wrist strap correctly and insert the ESD plug into the ESD connector. Wear the
strap tightly, as shown in Figure 1-1.

BTS3012
Figure 1-1 Wearing an ESD wrist strap

(1) ESD connector on the cabinet (2) ESD plug (3) ESD wrist strap
l In dry climate, the electrostatic charge carried by the human body may reach 30 kV. The
charge remains in the human body for a long time. The contact between the operator and
the equipment parts that have electric discharge damages the parts. Before handling any
board or module, wear an ESD wrist strap to discharge the electrostatic electricity.
l Before touching the equipment, board, or IC chip, wear an ESD wrist strap with one end
properly grounded.
l The line between the ESD wrist strap and the grounding point should be in serial connection
with a resistance greater than 1 megaohm to prevent accidental shock. Check the ESD wrist
strap regularly. Do not use another cable to replace the cable pre-installed on the ESD wrist
strap.
l Electrostatic-sensitive board or module should not come in contact with the objects that
have electrostatic or the objects that may easily generate electrostatic charge. For example,
the electrostatic-sensitive device may carry electrostatic charge if the packing bag or
conveyer box made of insulating materials comes in contact with the conveyer belt, and
then that device may be damaged due to current leakage when it comes in contact with the
human body or the ground.
l Electrostatic-sensitive board or module should be packed with discharging materials of
superior quality, such as the ESD bag. The board in stock or in transportation should be
packed in an ESD bag.
l Before connecting the measurement device to a board or module, discharge its electrostatic
charge by grounding that device.
l Keep the board or module away from strong DC magnetic field, for example, cathode ray
tube of the display. The distance between the board and the tube should be at least 10 cm.
l Damage caused by electrostatic charge is accumulative in effect. If the damage is slight,
the component does not malfunction. As the damage increases, however, the parts may
suddenly fail. There are two types of damages: explicit damage and implicit damage.
Implicit damage is invisible. In case of over-voltage and high-temperature, the parts may
become vulnerable to damage.

BTS3012
6 Microwave and Magnetic Field
CAUTION
When operating on high intensity RF signal equipment, remember that high-intensity microwave
is detrimental to human health.
The equipment antenna in service produces electromagnetic radiation. Standing too close to the
antenna is against safety codes. Ask only trained and qualified engineers to install the equipment
and maintain it.
7 Laser
CAUTION
The laser beam inside optical fibers may harm your eyes.
When installing and maintaining optical cables, keep your eyes away from or avoid looking
directly at the optical cable connector.
8 High Temperature
CAUTION
The temperature of some equipment parts may be rather high. Do not touch the surface of such
equipment parts to avoid getting burnt.
9 Working at a Height
General Operation
CAUTION
When working at a height, be cautious about objects falling down from a height.
High-altitude operations must be in compliance with the related national high-altitude operation
codes.
l High-altitude operators must be trained.

l Take care of the machines and tools at hand and prevent them from falling.
l Place the tools back into the tool bag immediately after using them.

BTS3012
l Take safety measures, for example, wear helmet and safety belt.
l Wear warm clothes before performing high-altitude operations in cold regions.
l Inspect the equipment used for lifting objects, before working at a height.
Safety Codes on Ladder Use

l Check the ladder before using it. Make sure the ladder is safe for use. Do not overload the
ladder.
l Take safety measures. For example, ask somebody to support the ladder when the slant
range of the ladder is over 5 m [16.4 ft], when the upright double-foot ladder is over 3 m

Site Maintenance Guide(for -48V/+24V) (Capacity Expansion)
5 Installing the BTS3012 Boards and Modules

(-48 V/+24 V) (Capacity Expansion)
About This Chapter
This describes how to install the BTS3012 boards and modules for capacity expansion. The
capacity expansion involves the hardware installation on the BTS side and the data configuration
on the BSC side. After installing hardware on the BTS side, you must configure data on the LMT
on the BSC side. The boards and modules involved in the capacity expansion of the BTS3012
(-48 V/+24 V) are the DDPU, DCOM, DTRU, DFCU, DFCB, DELC, and PSU (DC) (+24 V)
5.1 Installing the BTS3012/BTS3012AE DDPU (Capacity Expansion)

This describes how to install the BTS3012/BTS3012AE DDPU. The DDPU is placed in the
DAFU subrack. If the cells or the TRXs in the BTS require capacity expansion, you need to add
DDPUs. Adding DDPUs disrupts cell services.
5.2 Installing the BTS3012/BTS3012AE DCOM (Capacity Expansion)
This describes how to install the BTS3012/BTS3012AE DCOM. The DCOM is installed in the
DAFU subrack. If the cells in the BTS require capacity expansion or there are more than four
TRXs in a cell, you may need to add DCOMs. Adding DCOMs disrupts the cell services.
5.3 Installing the BTS3012/BTS3012AE DTRU (Capacity Expansion)
This describes how to install the BTS3012/BTS3012AE DTRU. The DTRU is installed in the
DTRU subrack. When TCHs are congested because the BTS traffic volume rises, or TRXs
require capacity expansion, you need to add DTRUs. Adding DTRUs disrupts the cell services.
5.4 Installing the BTS3012/BTS3012AE DFCU (Capacity Expansion)
This topic describes how to install the BTS3012/BTS3012AE DFCU. The Filter Combiner Unit
for DTRU BTS (DFCU) of the BTS3012/BTS3012AE is installed in the Antenna Front-end Unit
for DTRU BTS (DAFU). If the cells or the TRXs in the BTS require capacity expansion, you
may need to add DFCUs. Adding DFCUs disrupts the cell services.
5.5 Installing the BTS3012/BTS3012AE DFCB (Capacity Expansion)
This topic describes how to install the BTS3012/BTS3012AE DFCB. The Filter Combiner Unit
for DTRU BTS type B (DFCB) of the BTS3012/BTS3012AE is installed in the Antenna Front-
end Unit for DTRU BTS (DAFU) subrack. If the cells or the TRXs in the BTS require capacity
expansion, you may need to add DFCBs. Adding DFCBs disrupts the cell services.

This describes how to install the BTS3012 DELC. The E1 signal Lightning-protection Card for
DTRU BTS (DELC) of the BTS3012 cabinet is installed in the signal lightning protection
subrack on the top of the cabinet. When the BTS requires TRX capacity expansion (that is, the
number of TRXs exceeds the capacity of the four E1 cables for the DELC), or when the onsite
BTS networking uses multi-BTS tree topology, you need to add DELCs. Adding DELCs disrupts
the services carried on the BTS.
5.7 Installing the BTS3012 PSU (DC) (Capacity Expansion)
This describes how to install the PSUs of the BTS3012. The PSUs are placed in the power
subrack. When the capacity of the main cabinet is expanded and its load increases, you need to
add PSUs if the number of existing PSUs cannot meet requirements. You also need to add PSUs
during capacity expansion of the batteries. Adding PSUs does not affect the services of the BTS.

5.1 Installing the BTS3012/BTS3012AE DDPU (Capacity

Expansion)
This describes how to install the BTS3012/BTS3012AE DDPU. The DDPU is placed in the
