Nokia Flexi WCDMA BTS Improved BTS Site CAPEX and IMPEX

Shelter / equipment room can be avoided by outdoor BTS installation. Modular, small and light BTS minimizes also required civil work cost

Antenna line civil work and component cost can be minimized by locating BTS close to the antennas (maximizes also cell capacity)

In indoor installations additional air conditioning is not needed due to low power consumption

Nokia Siemens Networks Flexi WCDMA BTS Installation

Objectives

After the completion of this chapter, the participant will be able to:

• Examine a Nokia Siemens Flexi WCDMA BTS for correct installation

Work Order

Handling the modules and unpacking the

delivery

Preparing the modules for installation

Installing the stand-alone BTS on the floor

Fixing adapter mechanics to plinth

Mounting the stand-alone BTS on the wall

Mounting the stand-alone BTS on the pole

Installing modules inside Nokia cabinet

Installing optional modules

Installing transmission sub-module

Grounding the BTS

Connecting external power feed

Handling the Modules and unpacking delivery

ESD ANTI-STATIC WRIST STRAPS SHOULD BE WORN WHEN HANDLING ANY UNIT WHICH DISPLAYS THE ESD

LOGO

When handling the modules, always use the antistatic wrist strap as shown in the Connecting the antistatic wrist strap figure below. The cabinet must be grounded, otherwise the antistatic wrist strap will not work. Refer to Grounding the BTS section.

After mounting the Plinth,

attach the site ground.

Recommended installation order

Check that the plinth is installed

correctly.

Actual stacking

configuration may vary

Installing modules on the floor

Installation example: modules on the floor

Fixing adapter mechanics to plinth

Adapter mechanics brackets are installed on the plinth in wall and pole installations

Mounting the stand-alone BTS on the wall

A plinth is required

for mounting the

modules on a wall

Check that the plinth

adapter mechanics

are installed as

instructed in Fixing

adapter mechanics

to plinth section.

Mounting a second plinth on the wall

Mounting the modules on a wall

One mounting plinth per two modules is

installed on a wall. Refer to

Mounting the plinth on a wall for plinth

installation instructions.

Mounting the stand-alone BTS on the pole

NOTE: There are different

lengths of bolts and places

for bolts in the bracket.

Mounting the plinth on a pole

Recommended module installation order

• Do not install more than

two modules per plinth

• The modules must be

installed with front panels

facing left or right. Do not

install modules so that the

front panels face up or

down.

Mounting the modules on the wall or pole

1 Tip

Line up the locating marks in

the module to help aligning

the holes with fixing studs.

4 Tip

Use the markings in the

module to help aligning the

holes with fixing studs.

Installing optional modules

Flexi power module (FPMA) consists of connector blocks and four slots for

AC/ DC sub-module (FPAA) or battery sub-module (FPBA).

FPMA can include:

. two FPAAs and two FPBAs

. three FPAAs and one FPBA

. one FPAA and three FPBAs

. one FPAA and three free slots for expansion.

Grounding the BTS

When modules are installed inside a cabinet, separate module grounding is not required.

If the BTS has more than one plinth (for example in wall or pole installations), connect the main ground to one of the plinths and ground all the modules to that plinth.
