2.1 Safety Instructions
Safety Considerations - DC Powered Equipment
Restricted Access Area: The DC powered equipment should only be installed in a
Restricted Access Area.
Installation Codes: The equipment must be installed according to the latest
edition of the country national electrical codes. For North America, equipment
must be installed in accordance with the US National Electrical Code and the
Canadian Electrical Code.
Overcurrent Protection: A readily accessible, listed branch circuit overcurrent
protective device, rated 40A for the modular BTS, must be incorporated in the
building wiring.
CAUTION:This equipment is designed to permit connection between the earthed
conductor of the DC supply circuit and the grounding conductor at the
equipment.
Installation instructions:
The equipment must be connected directly to the DC Supply System
grounding electrode conductor.
All equipment in the immediate vicinity must be grounded in the same way,
and not be grounded elsewhere.
The DC supply system is to be local, i.e. within the same premises as the
equipment.
There shall be no disconnecting device between the grounded circuit
conductor of the DC source (return) and the point of connection of the
grounding electrode conductor.
CAUTION ATTENTION
Risk of electric shock and energy hazard.
Disconnecting one Power Interface Unit (PIU)
disconnects only one PIU module. To isolate the
Modular BTS completely, disconnect both PIUs.
Risque de dcharge lectrique et
d'electrocution.

Lithium Battery
The battery on the NPU card is not intended for replacement by the customer. The
NPU module should be sent for battery replacement every 8 years.
Line Voltage
Before connecting this instrument to the power line, make sure that the voltage of
the power source matches the requirements of the instrument.
RadioThe instrument transmits radio energy during normal operation. To avoid possible
harmful exposure to this energy, do not stand or work for extended periods of time
in front of its antenna. The long-term characteristics or the possible physiological
effects of radio frequency electromagnetic fields have not yet been fully
investigated.
Outdoor Units and Antennas Installation and Grounding
Ensure that outdoor units, antennas and supporting structures are properly
installed to eliminate any physical hazard to either people or property. Make sure
that the installation of the outdoor unit, antenna and cables is performed in
accordance with all relevant national and local building and safety codes. Even
where grounding is not mandatory according to applicable regulation and national
codes, it is highly recommended to ensure that the outdoor unit and the antenna
pole (when using external antenna) are grounded and suitable lightning
protection devices are used so as to provide protection against voltage surges and
static charges. In any event, Alvarion is not liable for any injury, damage or
regulation violations associated with or caused by installation, grounding or
lightning protection.
For additional information on grounding and lightning protection, refer toSection 2.3and to Alvarions Lightning Protectiondocument, available for
downloading at www.alvarion.com.
Disposal of Electronic and Electrical Waste
CAUTION
To avoid electrical shock, do not perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so.
Disposal of Electron ic and Electrical Waste
Pursuant to the WEEE EU Directive electronic and electrical waste must not be disposed of with
unsorted waste. Please contact your local recycling authority for disposal of this product.

Chapter 2 - Preparations and Precautions
2.2 ESD Precautions
The BTS includes devices that may be damaged by accidental introduction of
ground or foreign voltages.
Electrostatic discharge on a component at a voltage exceeding 600 Volts may
damage the component, even if mounted on a board.
All electronic components used in 4Motion are subject to ESD electrostatic
discharges. Electrostatic discharges at voltage ratings below 4000V are not
normally detected or perceived in any other form by the persons causing the
actual discharges.
For example, the natural movements of a person wearing synthetic clothing may
generate electrostatic voltages exceeding 10,000V.
Components are damaged by an electrical break in the ultra-thin insulating layer
in the integrated circuits (measuring typically 0.0001 mm). The damage may be
serious and cause an immediate function failure, or remain latent and occur at a
later time (even after several years).

4Motion BTS Installation Manual 21
2.3 Lightning Protection Guidelines
This section provides information on the installation of an effective grounding and
suppression system, for the protection of Alvarion products against lightning. For
a list of required accessories, seeTable 3-4.
The main role of a Grounding System is to minimize lightning damage.
This section deals primarily with the grounding of the equipment being installed,
however does not describe grounding against lightning, or the grounding of
buildings.
2.3.1 Lightning Protection Principles
Lightning protection for Alvarion Outdoor Units (ODU) installed outdoors on
towers or poles, is provided by ensuring minimum pickup of lightning induced
transients, and by the suppression of transient voltages at the input and output
terminals of both the Indoor and Outdoor units.
Minimizing the pickup of induced voltages is accomplished by isolating the
Outdoor Units and cables from the lightning down current, and through the use
of shielded cables with peripheral shield grounding.
The outdoor Radio Units and Antennas are connected mechanically to the tower
or pole, which is in turn grounded in accordance with the requirements of most
safety standards, therefore the Outdoor Units are grounded as well.
Isolating the outdoor units from the tower carrying the lightning down current is
theoretically appealing, however, when the outdoor units are installed on
NOTE
In case of contradiction between this paragraph and the standard requirements of the country in
which the equipment is installed, the more stringent of the standards will always apply.
In case of contradiction between this paragraph and installation instructions provided elsewhere by
Alvarion, refer to the full version of the Lightning Protection document, which can be downloaded
from Alvarion's web site www.alvarion.com. It is recommended to occasionally check for updates of

conducting towers any such isolation will be rendered useless during rain.
Therefore, it is recommended to ground the Outdoor Units and the associated
shield/signal grounds of the IF/RF cables to the tower or pole, which are
grounded themselves in accordance with the requirements of most safetystandards.
In order to limit the amount of lightning current flowing on the shields of the IF
cables, only one grounding point is allowed for the shields to the tower or pole.
This is the point where the Outdoor Units are grounded to the pole. This way, the
current arriving from the lightning to the earth will prefer the down conductor
from the lightning rod or the structure of the tower or pole, rather than the path
along the shield, thus protecting the equipment.
In addition, the IF Cable shields must be grounded (at the other end) to the entry
panel at the facility building.
To further protect the IF cables from lightning-induced voltages, the cables must
be installed inside the tower or pole whenever possible, and must be isolated from
the tower or pole structure and the down conductor. This ensures some degree of
shielding of the IF cables from the effects of electromagnetic fields associated with
lightning strikes, and provides protection against direct strikes to the cables.
2.3.2 Lightning Protection System Components
This section describes the components of a typical Lightning Protection System
(LPS):
Air terminal
Down conductor
Outdoor units grounding
Earth termination system
Lightning protectors
2.3.2.1 Air Terminal
The Air Terminal is the part of the LPS that intercepts lightning flashes. It blocks
the downward-moving stepped leader of the lightning strike, by launching an
upward-going attachment spark. Once the attachment is achieved, the bulk of
lightning current follows the ionized path. This way, the air terminal diverts the
lightning away from personnel and electronic equipment.

45/226
Lightning Protection Guidelines
4Motion BTS Installation Manual 23
If an Air Terminal is not installed at the highest point of the tower or pole, the
radio element connected to the highest point, usually the antenna, is most likely
the attachment point.
The Air Terminal must be a steel construction with a pointed tip. Referring to
Figure 2-1below, the height (H) of the Air Terminal tip above the highest Alvarion
element on the tower or pole, typically the antenna, must be at least twice the
distance (2 x d) between the outer surface of the antenna and the tower or pole.
This will ensure a protection cone of 60 around the tower or pole. In areas of
high lightning activity, the length (H) should be increased to up to 5 times the
distance.
If a remote electrical tilt is used, "d" represents the maximum horizontal distance.
The Air Terminal must be welded to the pole structure and connected to a Down
Conductor.
2.3.2.2 Down Conductor
The Down-Conductor conducts lightning current from the Air Terminal system to
the Earth Termination system (see Figure 2-2).

Chapter 2 - Preparations and Precautions
The Down Conductor must be straight and vertically installed in order to provide
the shortest and most direct path to earth. The formation of bends must be
avoided.
The following table defines the minimum dimensions for down conductors
according to IEC 1024-1:
It is recommended that the Down-Conductor be at least 50 mm2or AWG 0 in all
cases.

4Motion BTS Installation Manual 25
The grounding of the Down Conductor to earth must be of ground resistance no
higher than5 Ohm. This is achieved by using Earth Terminations and, wherever
possible, grounding to the steel re-enforcement bars of the concrete base of the
tower.
2.3.2.3 Grounding Outdoor Units
The Alvarion Outdoor Unit, consisting of a Radio Frequency Unit and Antenna,
includes a grounding point for connection to the grounding system. See
Section 2.3.1.
2.3.2.4 Earth Terminat ion System
The Earth Termination System is the part of external LPS that conducts anddisperses lightning current to earth. See Figure 2-2.
2.3.2.5 Lightning Protectors (Surge Arrestors)
Lightning Protectors provide an additional protection to the Alvarion equipment
embedded protectors, in places where lightning occurs frequently.
Electrical surges are composed of two elements: voltage and quantity of charge. A
very high voltage surge can damage electronic equipment by breaking down the
insulating medium between the circuit elements, or between the circuit elements
and ground. In order to protect an electronic circuit from damage, a LightningProtector (or Surge Arrestor) must conduct sufficient charge from the surge in
order to lower the surge voltage to a safe level. It must also conduct fast enough in
order to prevent the circuit insulation from breaking down.
Alvarion products contain embedded Lightning Protectors at their IF input ports.
Robust surge protection devices (SPD) are part of internal circuits, and are
mounted on I/O ports connecting Indoor and Outdoor units via outdoor cables.
NOTE
For standard communication sites with the following characteristics, grounding of the outdoor units
is not required (although such grounding will increase the level of protection):
The pole/tower is grounded
A standard Air Termination lightning rod is installed
Coaxial (IF/RF) cables are grounded at the facility entrance
The resistance between the Air Terminal and the Earth Termination is less than 5.

26 4Motion BTS Installation Manual
Chapter 2 - Preparations and Precautions
The BTS IDU and ODU IF ports, are protected by high current capability TVSs
mounted on board.
If additional protection is required, for example, in high lightning activity
(Keraunic) areas, external Lightning Protectors can be installed at strategic points
at the site.
A Lightning Protector will clip any excessive surge voltage that may be present
on the center conductor.
For Alvarions IF solutions, only Gas Gap Lightning Protectors types, designed to
cover the IF frequency range, must be used. Only Gas Gap Lightning Protectors
are capable of passing the DC current required to power the Outdoor Unit.
2.3.2.6 Installation Practices for an IF-Type System
This section relates to BTS outdoor installation practices. Figure 2-3illustrates
radio equipment installed on a tower.
Referring to Figure 2-3, an Air Terminal (Lightning Rod) is attached to the top of
the tower. The Air Terminal connects to a Down-Conductor that runs to an Earth
Termination at the foot of the tower.
NOTE
Keraunic maps are available at the following link to "Worldwide map of Keraunic levels"

The Antenna and Radio Units (two sectors are shown in Figure 2-3) are attached
to the tower with mounting brackets. The Radio Units are connected to the
Antennas via RF Cables. The IF Cables from the Radio Units (to the Indoor Units)
run down the tower through Mounting Blocks, as shown in Figure 2-4.

Chapter 2 - Preparations and Precautions
Referring to Figure 2-3and Figure 2-4, the Radio Units' (ODU) ground cables are
connected to a Metal Grounding Plate using Cable Terminals. The Metal
Grounding Plate is connected (welded) to the tower. The Air Terminal Down
Conductor is clamped to the cable that runs down from the Metal Grounding
Plate.
At the entry point to the facility building, the IF Cable shields are physically
attached to another Metal Grounding Plate (with feed through panel mount
coaxial connectors for each cable. See Figure 2-5below). The building's Metal
Grounding Plate is grounded separately from the tower. This ensures that the
lightning current from the tower is diverted from the building.

Figure 2-6shows a similar layout for radio equipment installed on a pole.
In Figure 2-6, an Air Terminal must provide a 60 protection cone, in the same
manner as for the tower scenario described earlier.
The Antenna and Radio Unit (ODU) are attached to the pole with mounting
brackets. The Radio Unit is connected to the Antenna via an RF Cable. The IF
Cable from the Radio Unit (to an Indoor Unit) runs down the pole via Cable
Hangers, and enters the building via a Metal Grounding Plate grounded at thebuilding wall.
The IF Cable shields are physically attached to the building's Metal Grounding
Plate, with feed through panel mount coaxial connectors for each cable. The
building's Metal Grounding Plate is grounded separately from the pole. This
ensures that the lightning current from the pole is diverted from the building. The
Radio Unit's ground cable is attached to a Metal Grounding Plate (welded to the
pole) using Cable Terminals.
The Radio Unit's ground cable, pole and the Air Terminal all run to Earth
Terminations.

3.2 IF Cables
The ODU is connected to the AU-IDU via an IF cable carrying both signals and
power. The maximum permitted attenuation of the IF cable at applicable
frequencies, its screening effectiveness and its maximum permitted DC resistance
(the sum of the DC resistance of the inner and outer conductors) are provided in
Table 3-1.
To comply with the required screening effectiveness requirement, it is
recommended to use double shielded cables.Table 3-2provides details on
maximum length for some popular cables. For lengths above 150m, use a high
quality cable with specifications as detailed inTable 3-1.

Heat Dissipation and Cooling Requirements
4Motion BTS Installation Manual 37
3.4 Heat Dissipation and Cooling
Requirements
The 4Motion chassis is intended for mounting in a cabinet or other rigid
framework which is fixed to the building. A 2.2-meter or 2.6-meter rack can
accommodate up to three 4Motion chassis. SeeTable 3-3for the operating
temperature range of the indoor equipment. Typically, there is no space limitation
or minimum equipment clearances for the BTS.
The 4Motion chassis is cooled by the flow of air between the elements mounted in
the cabinet. The fans and air baffles ensure that sufficient air flows between the
elements. The cooling system, including the baffle and fan tray, is supplied with
each chassis and is an integral part of the 4Motion chassis. It does not require
separate installation.
Unused slots should remain closed as it can affect the cooling of the chassis.
Use the following formula to calculate the heat dissipation for each BTS:
[(Module 1 power consumption) + (Module 2 power consumption) + (Module N
power consumption)] x 2.3884 = BTU
For example, for a BTS with 1 AU and 1 NPU (and no redundancy), the heat
dissipation is as follows:
[(PIU = 30 Watt) + (PSU = 200 Watt) + (NPU = 65 Watt) + (AU-IDU = 41 Watt) +
(AVU = 24 Watt)] x 2.3884 = 860 BTU
To calculate the heat dissipation of the BTS:
