Thank you for choosing Huawei eNodeB (BTS3900 LTE). You are expected to make all the
preparations described in this guide before Huawei technical staffs arrive on site, so that the
equipment can be put into operation as soon as possible. This can ensure that you reap social
benefits and economic interests at the earliest.
Before making the installation preparations, read the following contents carefully:
After you complete all the installation preparations, please contact the Huawei local
representative office on time, so that Huawei can arrange technical staff to start the
installation.
If the installation is implemented before the installation preparations are fully completed
owing to some reason, you should arrange related staff to finish the uncompleted part as
early as possible to ensure the smooth implementation of the project.
If the installation started before the preparations are fully completed owing to some
reason, and later installation cannot go on because of insufficient preparations, Huawei
has the right to stop the installation. After all the preparations are made, both parties can
discuss and arrange to restart the installation.

as follows:
This process shows that smooth completion of an installation project requires close
cooperation between you and Huawei. We sincerely hope for smooth completion of the
project.
The indoor macro cabinet BTS3900 LTE houses the BBU3900 and RFUs. In addition,
the BTS3900 LTE provides the functions such as power distribution, heat dissipation,
and surge protection. A single BTS3900 LTE can be installed with a maximum of six
RFUs.
The BTS3900 LTE supports –48 V DC power input. If configured with suitable power
modules, it can also support +24 V DC or 220 V AC power input. Figure 3-2, Figure 3-3
and Figure3-4 show the internal structure of the BTS3900 LTE cabinets with three types
of power input.
The direct current distribution unit (DCDU-01) module supplies power to all the
components in the cabinet.
The Power Supply Unit (PSU) converts +24 V DC power into –48 V DC power.
The Power and Environment Monitoring Unit (PMU) provides power system
management, power distribution detection, and alarm report functions.
The PSU converts the 220 V AC power into the –48 V DC power.
The site should not be exposed to excessive heat, dust, harmful gases, flammable
or explosive materials, or unstable voltage.
The site should be located at a place where earthquakes or strong noise are unlikely
to occur.
The site should be located far away from power substations, industrial boilers, and
heating boilers.
The site should be far away from high-power radio transmitters, radar stations, or
other interference sources. The interference field intensity should not be higher
than the shielding specifications of the eNodeB for useless radiation.
The equipment room for the indoor eNodeB should be constructed at least 3.7 km
away from the seaside or a salt lake. If this is not possible, the equipment room
should be closed and air conditioned. In addition, avoid using salt soil as the
building material for the room. Otherwise, the equipment that can be operated in
extreme and unfavorable environment must be used.
The outdoor eNodeB should be located more than 500 m away from the sea side.
The site should be located far from sources of pollution. If this requirement cannot
be met, select a site that is in the perennial upwind direction of the pollution
source.
− The site should be constructed at least 5 km from heavy pollution sources such
as a smelting plant or a coal mine.
− The site should be constructed at least 3.7 km from medium pollution sources
such as a chemical plant, a rubber plant, or an electric plating plant.
− The site should be constructed at least 2 km from light pollution sources such as
a food product factory or a leather product factory.
The air inlets of the communication equipment should be far away from the sewer
pipe, septic tank, and sewage disposal pool. The air pressure inside the equipment
room should be higher than the air pressure outside the equipment room.
Otherwise, corrosive gases may enter the equipment room and corrode the
components and circuit boards.
Livestock rooms or fertilizer warehouses cannot be used as the equipment room for
the indoor eNodeB. If this is not possible, it should be located at a place that is in
the upwind direction of the livestock room or fertilizer warehouse.
It is recommended that the equipment room for the indoor base station be located
on the second floor or above. If this requirement cannot be met, the ground for the
equipment room should be at least 600 mm higher than the maximum flood level
recorded in the area.
Figure Installation Requirements of the BTS3900-5 Space requirements for installing the
BTS3900 cabinet
The cabinet is installed as close to the feeder window as possible to reduce the feeder
length.
No space is required when the cabinet is installed side by side with other equipment.
Figure Installation Requirements of the BTS3900-6 Requirements for the layout of the
BTS3900 cabinet
Area Requirements
The area of the equipment room meets the requirements for equipment installation and
layout and for capacity expansion in the future.
The feeder window can be installed and feeders can be routed in the equipment room.
Installation or maintenance engineers can conveniently install or maintain the devices.
Height Requirements
The height of the equipment room indicates the net distance between the beam or air duct and the
ground. The height of the equipment room should meet requirements for installing cabling racks
and routing cables and feeders. Generally the height of the equipment room is 3 m to 3.5 m.
Generally, the weight bearing capacity of the equipment floor should be greater than 450 kg/m 2. If
the weight bearing capacity is not great enough, you should reinforce the building.
Floor Requirements
The floor of the equipment room should be semi-conductive without dusting. Generally, ESD
floors should be laid.
The plates must be firmly placed on the floor, and the horizontal deviation per square meter is
no greater than 2 mm.
When the ESD floor is unavailable, the floor should be laid with static conducive materials
with the volume resistivity of 1.0 x 107 Ω to 1.0 x 1010 Ω.
The static conducive and ESD floors should be provided with antistatic grounding. That is,
the static conducive and ESD floors are connected to grounding devices through current
limiting resistance and wires. The value of the current limiting resistance is 1 MΩ. Through
tests, terrazzo floors (including concrete floors) can meet such requirements.
All cable holes on the floor must be covered with plates. The cable holes should be drilled
according to the design and the size should be accurate to avoid difficulties arisen during
equipment installation.
When antenna poles and engineering holes are provided on the rooftop, take appropriate
leak proof measures and consider the weight bearing capacity of the poles and holes.
You can apply wallpapers or lusterless paint on the wall rather than pulverized paints.
Quakeproof Requirements
The seismic fortification intensity designed for an equipment room should be one degree above the
local basic seismic intensity. If the seismic fortification intensity of the equipment room cannot
meet the requirement, the equipment room should be reinforced.
Illumination Requirements
The equipment room should avoid exposure to direct sunlight. When exposed to direct
sunlight for a long time, the PCBs and other components are easily aged or deformed.
The battery room should be provided with explosion-proof lamps with soft light.
Ordinary base stations are barely attended. As a result, such base stations can be
provided with regular lighting provided by the mains supply.
Base stations with large capacity and great influence must be provided with the DC
emergency lighting system for backup.
The air conditioner capacity is mainly determined by the heat productivity of the base station,
involving both the heat output of the base station and the heat consumption of the auxiliary power
supply system. Wherein, the heat output of the base station is calculated by the input power minus
the antenna radiation power. The heat consumption of the power supply system mainly stems from
the AC/DC conversion coefficient.
For equipment rooms powered by AC power supply, the heat output is calculated differently for the
following two scenarios:
Q = V x A/0.86 - W
Wherein:
Q = 0.99 x V x A - W
Wherein:
For ordinary base stations, two air conditioners are equipped and work alternatively. The air
conditioners are set as follows:
Climatic Requirements
The climatic requirements for the operating environment of the BTS3900 are as following.
Item Specification
There should not be any explosive, conductive, magnetic conductive or corrosive dust in the air.
When DC power is led into the BTS3900 equipment room, the power supply system must meet the
following requirements:
When planning the capacity of the DC power supply system, you should consider the
maximum load of the system in dynamic and static modes and reserve a certain capacity.
The power equipment is placed nearest possible to the communication equipment to minimize
the DC feeder consumption.
When AC power is led into the BTS3900 equipment room, the power supply system must meet the
following requirements:
When planning the capacity of the AC power supply system, you must consider the working
current and fault current of the equipment.
Each of equipment has an independent AC distribution protection device.
The current threshold of the distribution protection switch for the equipment is greater than
that for the lower-level equipment
The PGND cable of the cabinet should be connected to the nearby external grounding bar.
The green and yellow PGND cable should be copper-based and plastic-insulated with a cross-
sectional area of at least 25 mm2.
When two BTS3900 cabinets installed in stacked mode, the following requirements must be
met:
The cabinets should be interconnected through a copper-based cable to ensure equal electric
potential. Note that the cable must be copper-based and insulated with green and yellow
plastic jackets and the cross-sectional area is at least 16 mm2.
The PGND cable of the lower cabinet should be connected to the grounding bar in the
equipment room. The PGND cable should be copper-based and insulated with green and
yellow plastic jackets. The cross-sectional area of the PGND cable is at least 25 mm2.
The recommended specifications of the indoor cable rack are as follows: width: 400 mm; height:
2.4 m. The cable rack should be installed according to the engineering design.
Generally, the indoor cable rack is installed against a suspending lever. If the indoor cable rack is
installed against a wall, a tripod or ground support can be used.
The outdoor cable rack consists of the horizontal cable rack and the vertical cable rack. The
outdoor cable rack should be installed according to the engineering design.
The indoor cable rack is connected to the indoor grounding bar through cables. The outdoor cable
rack is welded to the lightning rod of the building through the reinforcing steel bar, thus connecting
to the antenna support. If required, wires should be added to improve electric connectivity between
the cable racks.
Figure 4-1 shows the grounding grid of the eNodeB (the outdoor grounding system).
The grounding grids of the power transformer, tower, and equipment room constitute an integrated grounding
grid. (The grounding grid should be connected to the building and reinforced concrete bars of the tower.
Generally, the grounding grid should be connected to at least two reinforced concrete bars.)
The outdoor grounding ring can be laid out in L-shaped or C-shaped according to the field
situation of the equipment room. If the soil conductibility is poor or there is little soil in the rocky
area, it is recommended that the grounding extension style and concrete bridge be used. The cable
embedded concrete bridge radiates outwardly through the grounding ring and the four corners of
the tower grounding ring. The concrete bridge has strong hygroscopy. The recommended length of
the concrete bridge is 10 m to 30 m.
It is recommended that the grounding stake be coated with hot galvanized steel. The specifications
are as follows:
The proper length of the grounding stake is from 1.5 m to 2.5 m, and the interval is 1.5 to 2 times
the length of the grounding stake. The space between the top of the grounding stake and the ground
is at least 0.7 m. For cold districts, bury the grounding stake under the frozen soil.
The depth of the grounding ring must be 0.7 m under the concrete base.
You should determine whether to add resistivity reduction mixture based on the equipment room
location and soil conditions.
The equipment room is configured with a primary grounding bar that is connected to the grounding grid of all
the equipment and the DC power inside the equipment room.
It is recommends that you use the galvanized flat steel of 40 mm x 4 mm or 50 mm x 5 mm as the grounding
cable. The part of the grounding cable outside the earth should be protected against mechanical damage.
As shown in , the outdoor grounding system consists of the tower grounding, feeder grounding, grounding
grid, rooftop surge protection grounding bar, cable rack grounding, and outdoor grounding copper bus bar.
Ground the feeder pipe when it is on the tower, and before it is connected to the cable rack and routed through
the feeder window. If the tower is higher than 60 m, ground the feeder pipe in the middle of the tower. The
outdoor grounding copper bar should be installed under the outdoor feeder window and be connected to the
outdoor grounding ring. The feeders and indoor surge protector should be connected to the outdoor grounding
copper bar.
1 M8 bolt
The height of the tower depends on the field requirements of the eNodeB.
Typically, the tower has an operating platform of one to three layers with a round or hexagon
structure. The minimum diameter of the circle is 4 m and the spacing between two platforms
is 6 m. One-meter-high guard rails are required on the platforms. The minimum weight-
bearing capacity of the platforms is 150 kg/m2.
The tower must be able to carry 27 directional antennas and 27 7/8-inch feeders. Each antenna
should weigh 30 kg with the front face area of 0.5 mm2. Each feeder should be 0.49 kg/m
with the diameter 28 mm.
A ladder for maintenance should be installed on the tower. The reinforcing angle steel should
be installed every 1 m on both sides of the ladder, and the angle steel should extend 0.5 m out
of the ladder on either side.
A lightning rod should be installed 8 m above the upper platform to ensure that all the feeders
on the tower are within the coverage of the lightning rod.
Even in the face of the strongest wind that blow once every 30 years, the maximum axial
wobble and torsion of the tower body must be within ±1°.
The tower should be designed to resist one degree of seismic intensity over the limit
stipulated in local regulations. When earthquake occurs, the tower can withstand the
earthquake and devoid of any distortion that affects the quality of communication.
A cable rack that can bear the weight of a person should be installed on the tower.
Surge protection and lightning induction devices should be installed on the tower.
Solar energy lamps should be used for the tower.
Power cables with metal jackets should be used for the aeronautical lights that use AC power.
Ensure that the metal jackets are grounded at the top of the tower and at positions where the
cables are led into the equipment room.
Surge protection devices should be installed on the control cables of the tower lamps and on
the phase lines of the power cables at the positions where the cables are led into the
equipment room. The neutral lines are directly grounded.
The wind speed and earthquake intensity level comply with the local stipulations.
When installing the antenna support on the tower, adhere to the following principles:
1. The installation plane of the antenna support should be perpendicular to the horizontal plane.
2. The pole for the lightning rod should be installed separately on the tower. The lightning rod
should be placed high enough to bring the protection areas of all the antennas below 45°.
3. The antenna support should be installed in the direction that does not affect the
transmit/receive performance and direction adjustment of the antenna.
4. A stiffener is used to fasten the rotating lever. The expansion lever and the rotating lever
should be cut to an appropriate length. The cross-section should be welded with a waterproof
cover.
5. The antenna support must not have any dry and open welds. It is recommended that the
support be made of galvanized steel. The surface of the support should be coated with antirust
paint.
6. For the directional antenna, the length of the pole depends on that of the antenna. In wide
coverage application, high gain antennas are generally used. Such antennas are long, so it is
recommended that the length of the pole be greater than 3 m and that the diameter range from
60 mm to 114 mm (generally 75 mm).For the uni-polarization antenna, the distance between
the two diversities of the two antennas serving one sector should be at least 2 m. shows the
recommended directional antenna support on a tower.
Figure 4-7 shows the recommended support for the omni-directional antenna on a tower.
When installing the antenna support on the rooftop, adhere to the following principles:
8. The strength of the materials for the antenna support and pole should meet the requirements
of antenna load capacity and wind load.
9. The connecting pieces for the stiffener should be installed in the positions where the
regulation of the antenna orientation and tilt is not affected.
10. The antenna support should be perpendicular to the horizontal plane.
11. The base of the antenna support, the anchor of the stiffener, and their expansion bolts should
be covered with concrete.
12. When a directional antenna is installed on the rooftop, a lightning rod should be installed on
the antenna support, and the antenna support should be connected to the grounding grid of the
building. When an omni-directional antenna is installed on the rooftop, a lightning rod should
be installed onto a separate support.
13. If a lightning rod is installed onto the support of the omni-directional antenna, the omni-
directional antenna should be extended from the support for 1 to 1.5 m.
14. If there are enclosing walls on the rooftop, the antenna support can be installed on an
enclosing wall. Ensure that the main supporting post is vertical to the surface of the rooftop.
In addition, ensure that the antenna support is equipped with a surge protector and connected
to the grounding grid of the building.
Preparing the Directional Antenna Support and Pole on a Rooftop
(1) For the uni-polarization directional antenna, because of the requirements for diversity spacing,
the distance between the two poles supporting the two antennas should be at least 2 m.
(2) The length of the pole depends on that of the antenna. It is recommended that the length of the
pole be greater than 2.5 mm and that the diameter range from 60 mm to 114 mm.
(3) The main supporting post of antenna support should be longer than the antenna. The relation
between h and d should meet the specifications illustrated in and listed in Table, where h indicates
the valid vertical distance between the lower edge of the antenna and the rooftop in the direction
that the antenna faces, and d indicates the distance between the edge of the rooftop in the direction
that the antenna faces and the antenna support.
Height Diameter
0.5 m 0 m to 2 m
1m 2 m to 10 m
2m More than 10 m
The Height and Diameter in the table above is shown in Figure 4-8.

Figure 4-10 and Figure 4-11 show how to fix the directional antenna on the rooftop.
(2) After installation, the top of the pole should be flush with the fixing hoop in the lower part of
the antenna. Therefore, the omni-directional antenna pole does not need to be long. The length of
the pole only needs to meet the specifications.
(3) Generally, the omni-directional antenna pole should have a diameter of 60 mm to110 mm and
should be made of 75 mm round steel.
(4) The omni-directional antenna is long and therefore the antenna top is much higher than the pole
top. In this case, the surge protector should not be welded directly to the pole but should be
installed separately in the middle of the two antenna poles. Ensure that the top of omni-directional
antenna is within the protection angle of the surge protector, as shown in .In some cases the surge
protector may not be prepared independently due to limited conditions. Instead, you can use the
following method shown in Figure .
1. The feeder window should be installed at a position nearest to the cable rack.
2. The feeder window should be installed on the wall either indoors or outdoors, but the side
with steel hoops must face outdoors.
3. If feeders are led into the room from the rooftop, the feeder window is installed on the roof
and the side with steel hoops must face outdoors.
Cable Specification
Power cable The power cables without jackets should be insulated with PVC materials.
If the power cables are required to be weatherproof or high/low-
temperature resistant, materials such as silicone rubber, FEP, or PFA can be
used for insulation.
The power cables with PVC jackets should be insulated through PVC or
XLPE materials. If there are fire-resistant requirements such as halogen-
free and low smoke, use power cables with LSZH jackets.
The high/low-temperature resistant power cables should be generally
coated with FEP jackets.
Symmetric The symmetric cables should be insulated through PE, PP, or PVC
cable materials and coated with PVC or PE jackets. If there are fire-resistant
requirements such as halogen-free and low smoke, use power cables with
LSZH jackets.
Coaxial cable The coaxial cables should be insulated through PE, PTFE, or FEP
materials and coated with PVC or FEP jackets.
PGND cable The PGND cables should be copper-based and insulated with green and
yellow plastic jackets.
When selecting the indoor cables, you should consider the fire-resistant requirements. Weather proofing
requirements for the indoor cables are not high. Therefore, use cables coated with PVC jackets as indoor
cables.
If fire-resistant requirements for the cables are high, use cables that are insulated with fire-resistant materials
such as PE or PVC and coated with fire-resistant PVC jackets.
If there are strict requirements for smoke density, and transmittance of the halogen gas released after the
cables caught fire, use cables coated with comparatively expensive LSZH jackets.
Insulating materials and protection jackets of the cables must comply with the Restriction of Hazardous
Substance (RoHS) requirements.
The cable materials can either be customized or comply with local regulations.
Optical cable R ≥ 20 D
In Table 4-2, D refers to the diameter of the cable jacket and R refers to the bending radius of the cable.
The cables should be insulated if they are bound and routed on the metal cable rack.
Fuses or switches cannot be installed on the cables.
The -48 V power cable and the GND cable should be bound together.
Both ends of the grounding cables should be anti-corrosive and anti-rust. Connections of the
grounding cables should be secure.
The low-voltage AC power cable for the base station should be led through a metallic conduit
and buried in the ground for at least 50 m before it is led into the equipment room. If the AC
power cable is shorter than 50 meters, it should be completely routed under the ground. If
such cables are routed overhead and led into the room, surge protection for the connectors of
the AC power cables is seriously affected.
The PGND cable should be buried completely in the ground or routed indoors. The PGND
cable cannot be routed overhead outdoors before it is led into the equipment room.
Fill in the grey part in the table above when the antenna is installed on the tower platform.
