SITE REQUIREMENTS 1 3 (36) Introduction This document covers the site preparations to be made before the Mobitex Base Radio Unit 3 (BRU3) is installed, in terms of space required, power consumption, environmental data, cables, grounding, antenna etc. The instructions in the BRU3 - Installation module should be followed when installing the BRU3. Before installation takes place, the site should be prepared in accordance with what is described in this document.
(36) 1.2 BRU3 MANUAL BRU3 Presentation Base Radio Unit 3 (BRU3) is a complete one-channel compact radio base station which uses 8 kbps data signalling and is designed for the 400, 800 and 900 MHz band. The BRU3, which may be installed outdoors or indoors, is a link between the mobile terminals (MOB) and the area exchanges (MOX) in the Mobitex Network. The BRU3 contains logic, modem units, radio units, a power supply unit including AC/DC and DC/DC converters, a battery backup and a heating unit.

SITE REQUIREMENTS 2 7 (36) Preparations Before Installation Generally, the BRU3 can be installed at most locations, both in- and outdoors. However, it is important that the BRU3 is always mounted on the Base Plate included in the FE Installation Kit. 2.1 Storage The BRU3 delivery package is made according to the ETS 300 019-1-1 standard, class 1.3 for storage. It is recommended to have plans for long term storage verified by Ericsson. 2.
(36) 2.3.1 BRU3 MANUAL Material and Tools That Are Not Provided by Ericsson Below is specified the material and tools that will not be delivered by Ericsson along with the BRU3: • Network Communication Connection Box. • Bolts (4 pcs of M10x70mm) for wall mounting of the Base Plate and Bolt Expanders 4 pcs (type HILTI HDE M10). Used for wall mounting only. • Copper Grounding Cable >=16mm2 (AWG 5) and Cable Lug (M8). • Antenna equipment. • Antenna Cable RG 214/U-60 (outer diameter 10.
SITE REQUIREMENTS 2.4 9 (36) Space Required When deciding where to install the BRU3, it is important to keep in mind that: • Accessibility must be maintained to allow for installation and maintenance. • The longer the feeders and communication cables are, the higher the attenuation will be. • The site shall provide an ambient temperature preventing the BRU3 to exceed its maximum operation temperature. The ambient temperature shall be measured 100 mm below the handle.
(36) Note! 2.4.1 BRU3 MANUAL To facilitate service procedures, the BRU3 may be mounted more than 100 mm above the “floor”. Due to legal requirements, at outdoor installations the BRU3 must not be mounted closer than 500 mm to a horizontal or inclined surface which might allow water to splash into the cable inlet. General The space specified in this document is a minimum to allow an adequate airflow around the equipment. The customer decides if any additional working space is needed around the BRU3.
SITE REQUIREMENTS 2.4.4 11 (36) On both sides of the BRU3 Minimum: 100 mm To allow opening of the padlocks on each side, 100 mm of free space is necessary on both sides of the case. 2.4.5 In front of the BRU3 Minimum: 450 mm, excluding working space To allow opening of the top cover, 450 mm of space from the wall or the pole behind the case is necessary. The specified distance of 450 mm does not include working space. 2.4.

(36) 3 BRU3 MANUAL Power Requirements The BRU3 is supplied with 120 or 230 V AC with the following characteristics: 39xx and 38xx: Voltage: 120 V AC or 230 V AC Voltage variation: 90 - 140 V AC or 198 - 254 V AC Nominal voltage: 110 - 130 V AC or 220 - 240 V AC Frequency: 50/60 Hz Site Fuse: 10 A (The site fuse is to be provided by the customer.) Power Consumption: Max.
SITE REQUIREMENTS 4 Cables and External Connections 4.1 General 15 (36) All cables provided by the customer must be in position and ready to be connected to the BRU3 before the installation takes place. Each cable delivered by Ericsson is equipped with a connector at the BRU3 end. The other end is delivered without a connector, which means that the operator can choose any suitable connector or socket. The power and console cables are delivered with connectors at all ends.
(36) Figure 6 BRU3 MANUAL Cable to be provided by the customer. 1. Only one of the Line communication cables may be used. 2. One antenna cable, if duplex filter is installed. Two antenna cables, if bandpass filter is installed. Feeder loss is recommended to equal or be less than 2 dB. Note! The Ground and Antenna cables are to be provided by the customer. BRU3 MANUAL, Doc.
SITE REQUIREMENTS 17 (36) Figure 7 “BRU3 external connections.” shows where to connect the BRU3 cables. Use the figure to plan the cable arrangements. The types of connector mentioned in the following sections always correspond to the cable connector to the BRU3. Figure 7 BRU3 external connections. Pos.
(36) BRU3 MANUAL The console connection is not described in the following sections. 4.2 Connecting Power The Power Connection Kit is used to connect the BRU3 to the mains (Outdoor: 39xx and 38xx - No NTM 201 1126/1, 34xx - No NMT 201 1127/1). The kit includes a Power Supply Cable, a Connection Box (of the weather-protected type) and a Protection Tube (a field wiring terminal and a non-metallic, liquidproof conduit for outdoor use). A 120 or 230 V AC cable is used for the power supply.

SITE REQUIREMENTS 4.4.1 27 (36) Alarm Loop for Customer’s Use The diagrams below show how the alarm loop can be used, with or without an internal power supply. The circuit diagrams show the FE Connection Board (FNB) in the BRU3 and how the FE Alarm Cable is connected. In the examples, the switch could be replaced with any type of alarm equipment. A parameter in the NMS is used to set the alarm to indicate whether the switch is open or closed. Figure 11 External alarm powered by the BRU3.

SITE REQUIREMENTS 4.5 29 (36) Connecting the Antenna The BRU3 has either a duplex filter or bandpass filters installed. The duplex filter makes it possible to use a combined Rx/Tx antenna, while the bandpass filters require separate Rx and Tx antennas. Figure 13 Connection for combined RX/TX antenna. Pos.

SITE REQUIREMENTS 5 31 (36) Grounding The grounding systems should meet the requirements of the national standards. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the external grounding system at the site is adequate and that the grounding system for the equipment can easily and satisfactorily be connected to it. When the BRU3 is installed, the ground cable should be connected to the Base Plate (as specified in the installation instructions), to which the BRU3 itself is grounded.
