Safety distance requirements (compliance


boundaries)
This section describes compliance with reference levels (based on basic
restrictions) for general public and occupational exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic fields
Installing base stations to ensure public safety

This equipment generates radio frequency energy, which has a thermal effect
when absorbed by the human body. For this reason compliance boundaries
specific to this equipment have been established. The thermal effects of radio
frequency energy can exceed safety levels when a person is inside the established

DN7037979

Requirements for Installation and Operation

compliance boundaries. Observe the compliance boundary, and make sure the
general public has no access to areas inside the established boundaries. The
information shown in Warnings and cautions provided section below is taken
from the relevant section of Nokias user manual containing warnings and
cautions specific to the equipment.
Installing base stations to ensure installer safety

Installation engineers need to be aware of the potential risk of the thermal effects
of radio frequency energy and how to protect him/herself against undue risk. The
information shown in Warnings and cautions provided section is taken from the
relevant section of Nokias user manual containing warnings and cautions
specific to the equipment.
Warnings and cautions provided

Reference safety distances


When working close to transmitter antennas, the proper safety distances must be
observed. The minimum safe distance from an antenna is measured in metres.

Warning
Do not go any closer to a live antenna than the compliance boundary. The
radio frequency energy generated by the antenna poses a serious health risk.

Warning
If performing installation or maintenance procedures on a BTS, make sure
that all transmitters in the area are switched off.

When assessing the applicable boundaries, the European standards EN 50383,


EN 50384, EN 50385 and Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC for
occupational and general public electromagnetic exposure limits - see Annex A have been applied.
The statements shown below are taken from the Nokias user manual containing
warning and cautions specific to the equipment.

Environmental requirements

Assessment applying SAR measurements

European standards EN 50383, EN 50384 and EN 50385 do not include


specifications for whole body SAR measurements. Whole body SAR
measurements are not required for transmitters that have maximum output power
levels too low to result in exposure levels that can reach the whole body SAR
compliance limits under any conditions. Whole body SAR exclusion power
levels have been based on the worst case assumptions. For details, see the table
below.

Table 6.

Whole body SAR exclusion power levels

Exposure category

Maximum output power (rms)

General public

Max power [W] = general public whole


body SAR limit [W/kg] * 12.5 kg: 4-yearold child body mass = 1 W

Occupational

Max power [W] = occupational whole


body SAR limit [W/kg] * 42 kg: 16-yearold worker body mass = 16.8 W

Localised SAR measurements can only be used when:


1.

The separation between the phantom and the outer surface of the energy
generating element is 40 cm (15.6 in.) or less.

2.

The surface area of the energy generating element is less than 60 cm (23.6
in.) by 30 cm (11.8 in.).

3.

The frequency is in the range of 800 to 3000 MHz.

For the reasons above, SAR measurements are not applicable to Nokia Flexi
WCDMA Base Station.
Assessment of compliance boundary

The compliance boundary is defined as the area around the antenna shown in the
Area around the antenna figure below. The antenna is located at the origo.
Distances from the antenna are shown. The top and side views are shown in the

IMPORTANT:
.

In tables 'Dimensions of compliance boundary in meters for general

power levels, including the typical and worst case levels. If an exposure
limit, antenna, and/or configuration is used which does not correspond
to the levels given in tables 'Dimensions of compliance boundary in
meters for general public (GP)' and 'Dimensions of compliance
boundary in meters (Occupational)', the compliance boundary must
be re-calculated according to EN50383.

The formula for calculating the compliance boundary using the farfield model, which is referenced in EN50383, is given in ANNEX B
later in this section. This model is applicable for calculating the
compliance boundary for the far-field region and over estimates the
compliance boundary for the radiating near-field region, but is not
applicable for calculating the compliance boundary for the reactive
near-field region where the distance from the antenna is less than or
equal to / 4.

for frequencies exceeding 10 GHz, S is to be averaged over any period of


68/f1.05 minutes (f in GHz)

ANNEX B: Far-field calculation method

This model is applicable for calculating the compliance boundary for the far-field
region and over estimates the compliance boundary for the radiating near-field
region, but is not applicable for calculating the compliance boundary for the
reactive near-field region where the distance from the antenna is less than or
equal to /4, which is 3.75 cm at 2000 MHz. Therefore, all calculations are valid
when the compliance boundary is greater or equal to the antenna dimensions plus
/4.
The minimum safety distance (compliance boundary) in metres, or 'rmin', is
calculated according to the following equation:

(G - L) / 10
N 10
Pout
rmin =
4p S
DN02152589

Figure 5.

Formula for safety distances

The meaning of each formula component is as follows:

DN7037979
Issue 2-0 en draft

N is the number of transmitter units per one antenna

G is the antenna gain (in dB)

L is the minimum cable losses (in dB)

Pout is the maximum power of one transmitter unit (in W)

S is the maximum power density limit (in W/m)

Requirements for Installation and Operation

Note
In the far-field, the field calculation does not take into account the antenna size,
which is assumed to be a point source. Therefore, when calculating the
compliance boundary, the far-field data, antenna size and reactive field criteria
have to be taken into account.

Compliance with EMC, RF and safety


In Europe this means compliance with Directive 1999/5/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and
telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their
conformity.
In other market areas additional compliance is fulfilled according to relevant

Power requirements

Power requirements

5.1

Grounding requirements
Grounding is required to ensure personnel safety and to avoid electrostatic
discharge which can damage the equipment.
To protect the BTS from damaging overvoltages through antenna equipment,
communication cables, or power supply lines, grounding cabling must be planned
and installed before the installation of the base station. To avoid interference, it is
recommended that large grounding systems are designed case-specifically.
A power plug with a protective ground connection is not sufficient for Nokia
Flexi WCDMA BTS. Grounding must have a fixed, non-removable connection.

Note
Follow local requirements for earthing (grounding). The principles and
requirements vary in different countries.

Observe the following recommendations when planning the BTS grounding:

DN7037979
Issue 2-0 en draft

The grounding cable is connected with screws to the BTS grounding point.

The minimum cross-section of the copper (Cu) grounding conductor is


following:
.
Grounding cable cross-section has to be more than any of AC or DC
power feeding cable cross-section.
.
When 220-240 VAC is used, power cables shall be 1.5 - 2.5 mm2
(15...13 AWG) and grounding cable 2.5 mm2 (13 AWG).
.
When 100-110 VAC is used, power cables shall be 1.5 - 2.5 mm2
(15...13 AWG) and grounding cable 4 mm2 (11 AWG).
.
When 48 VDC is used, power cables shall be 6 - 10 mm2 (9...7
AWG) and grounding cable 6 mm2 (9 AWG).

# Nokia Corporation

43 (54)

Requirements for Installation and Operation

5.2

The earthing (grounding) resistance target of the BTS site is =10 . If it is


not possible to reach this target due to difficult conditions, for instance in
areas such as solid rocks or dry desert, the earthing (grounding) resistance
can be max. 150 .

The ground cable must be connected to a main grounding busbar.

Route the ground cables as directly as possible from the equipment to the
grounding point. Avoid unnecessary loops and sharp bending of the
grounding cable. The ground cables should not be run parallel with power
cables.

The external antenna feeders must also be grounded according to the local
legislation if the antennas are exposed to lightning.

Mains power requirements


Warning
Danger of lethal voltages! Make sure that the mains power breaker is off,
and that the cabinet is properly earthed (grounded), before removing any
connections from the cabinet.

Ensure that the site has a main switch for disconnecting the site power. The
disconnecting device shall disconnect both input supply poles simultaneously.
The cross-sectional area of the Main Earthing Conductor (PE) shall not be less
than live and neutral conductors nor less than 6 mm2. The impedance of the earth
connection shall be as low as possible.

Power requirements

Flexi BTS site maximum power consumption consists of 2x30 W power feed to
MHA + antenna tilt. Up to 50 W/ 100 W (single/dual) higher power consumption
can exist in extreme conditions and in BTS output power overdrive situations. In
possible short circuit cases (for instance, antenna line), power consumption can
momentarily be higher.

Note
Values are given for 2.1 GHz RF module. For other RF Module variants, there is
max. +10 % power consumption increase.

The values do not include optional cabinet (FCOA) and optional site support
(FCSA) power consumption. For microwave transmission sub-module case
(FTFA), add max. 50 W.
The estimated maximum heat load can be assumed to be the same as the power
consumption values.

3rd party cabinet requirements

3rd party cabinet requirements


Basic requirements for a 3rd party cabinet

The basic requirements for a 3rd party cabinet are the following:
.

19-inch rack with site trays

Minimum depth 600 mm (23.6 in.)

Rear air intake

Front exhaust

Proper cable routing

DC power to the BTS

The operating temperature in the cabinet must be -33...+55C (-27F...


+131F)

Requirements for Flexi BTS module level cooling in a 3rd party cabinet

A Flexi BTS module shall be installed in the cabinet without the rear side and
front side plastic covers. The air volume flow requirement for one Flexi BTS
module is 140 m3/h. The pressure drop caused by the rear side wall and front door
(wall) for one module fan can at the maximum be 25 Pa (including the combined
pressure drop for both walls) with an air volume flow of 140 m3/h. Flexi BTS
modules cooling fans minimum distance to any obstacle in the rear side of the
cabinet is 40 mm (1.6 in.). The BTS power consumption must be taken into
consideration when planning site cooling.

Figure 16.

Module level cooling in a 3rd party cabinet

The entire cabinet volume flow is dependent on the number of modules used (for
example, if three modules are used, the entire cabinet volume flow is 420 m 3/h
(3*140 m3/h) and the pressure drop caused by the front and rear door maximum
25 Pa). All modules must receive cool ambient air, and the circulation from the
front of the module to the rear side of the module must be prevented. There must
be a long enough distance to the wall (or any other obstacle) in the rear side of the
cabinet, so that the required airflow rate (140 m3/h) is reached in all modules
used.
It is recommended that the module cables be routed so that they do not prevent
the air outflow from the BTS.
