In the middle of the chain: in the DDF, disconnect the PCM from thefirst Abis link (link A) of the downstream BTS from the second Abis link(link B) of the previous BTS. Remove the jumpers between the two Abislinks of the BTSs from the DDF.

1.5.5 Connect Jumper1. Locate the Alcatel Digital Distribution Frame (DDF).2. Use the labels on the DDF to locate the two positions, Emission and

Reception, of the Abis link for the BTS.3. Insert a loop on the Emission position. Insert a loop on the Reception

position.

2 General Information


This chapter contains safety rules and precautions that must be followedby all personnel during work time.



2.1 Faults and Anomalies

2.1.1 ALCATEL 3000 Failure ReportAny faulty components, supplies, or replacement parts must be returnedwith an ALCATEL 3000 FRD failure report form to the ALCATEL personresponsible for the operation

The ALCATEL 3000 number must be entered in the Title column of theFaults reports/Actions form section of the CCL

If a module from the replacement kit is used to replace a faulty moduleunrelated to the operation, the replacement must be noted in theManufacturers comments section of the CCL.

2.1.2 Fault ReportsBugs found when preparing and carrying out work must be reported bycompleting and sending a fault report to the ALCATEL person responsible forthe operation on the site.

2.2 Safety RulesThis chapter contains safety rules and precautions for:

Installation personnel on the site

Equipment under power

Equipment emitting RF power

Electrostatic precautions.

Death or serious physical harm to personnel and damaged equipment mayresult by mishandling.Be familiar with the local safety requirements. Read the General SafetyInstructions.

2.2.1 General Safety RequirementsAlways refer to local safety regulations and accident prevention

In France, apply Labor Legislation and decree Nx92-158

Obtain safety requirements linked to equipment during installation inaccordance with IEC 950.



2.2.2 Safety PrerequisitesThe following safety prerequisites apply:

Customer Is able to warn the installation staff in case of danger

Is able to communicate with the installation team via a direct line ofcommunication

Is able to provide a list of collocated radiating equipment.

Installation Team Inform the customer about:

Date of arrival

Duration of work

Number of technicians on site

Staff authorized to enter the site

The contact person.

Before You Start Before you start:

Verify that the site inspection is done and that the results are documented inan inspection report

Ensure good illumination in your place of work

Indicate danger sources

Verify that the compliance perimeter to electromagnetic field exposureis marked

Be prepared to provide first aid

Be familiar with the telephone numbers of:Fire brigadeHospitalPoliceCustomer contact person.

Take into account special site risks

Check working conditions on site.

Do not work alone on site.



2.2.3 Safety Requirements IEC 950 (Excerpt)The 230 V electrical supply must be recognizable

The equipment power supply is protected by 300 mA circuit breakers

The service point power supply is protected by 30 mA circuit breakers

Do not extend the maximum load indicated at the service point

Insure a proper protective earth connection (resistance


2.2.6 Electrostatic PrecautionsThe following electrostatics precautions must be observed:

Environment Ensure that work benches, stools, and floor mats have a conducting surfaceconnected to the ground. Before handling static-sensitive components andassemblies, ground yourself to the conducting surface using an anti-staticwrist strap

When handling static-sensitive components and assemblies, do not wearor use clothes made of wool, nylon, or any other synthetic material. Suchfabrics are major sources of static build upWhen handling static-sensitive components and assemblies, do not usegloves and finger covers, unless they are made of cotton.

Tools Ensure that all tools which come into contact with static-sensitivecomponents are at the same voltage level as the conducting work surfacesand floor mats. These tools include soldering irons, oscilloscopes, powersupplies, and metal parts of tools and fixtures that are used to hold,assemble, or test Printed Board Assemblies (PBA)Do not use rough cleaners or erasers to clean the gold-plated contactson PBAs

Do not mark a PBA with lead pencil or any other writing instrument

Do not use synthetic brushes to clean equipment and do not use drycleaning methods.

Transportation and

Storage

Pack all electronic components and modules in containers used to transportand store static-sensitive components and use aluminum container tubesif possible. If not, insert the components terminations into electricallyconductive foam

Before shipping a PBA, wrap it in a conducting synthetic bag or in aluminumfoil. Also pack the PBA in a polyethylene transport box

Before shipping a PBA which has Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS)components, ensure that an appropriate warning symbol is displayed onthe package

Store spare PBAs in their appropriate polyethylene boxes. Keep the boxesclosed except when access to their contents is required

Do not store PBAs in an area where the air is polluted with smoke, dust,dangerous gases, or other airborne particles that may cause damage

Do not stack PBAs side-by-side or on top of each other with the boardsurfaces or components in contact with one another

Before cleaning a PBA, remove or disconnect the damage protection, suchas protective foam, to allow the PBA to be cleaned thoroughly. Replace thedamage protection upon completion of the task.



Components and PBAs Components and PBAs not in protective containers, must only be handledby trained personnel in static-controlled work areas

Before removing a PBA from an equipment rack, discharge any static bytouching the metal frame of the rack with your hand

Always handle a PBA by the edges

Do not handle or carry a PBA by any mounted components

Do not handle a PBA by the gold-plated contact terminals and do not applydirect pressure to the components

Do not touch PBA connection pins or conductor paths

Do not touch PBAs with wet hands

Place PBAs that have been removed during maintenance with the solderedside down on a conductive surface

Do not scratch or rub the soldered side of a PBA with a sharp or rough objectDo not repair PBAs in the switch room

Do not handle components and assemblies by their leads

Do not use excessive force when inserting connection boards.



2.3 Fill In a CCLFor all installation procedures a Generic CCL is used.Each commissioning procedure has its own CCL, identical in structure to theinstallation CCL, differing in task description.Filling in an installation and commissioning CCL is almost the same.
