materials or instable voltage, and away from great vibrations, strong noise or power
transformer stations. During project designing, consider the following factors:
hydrographic, geological, seismic, power supply and transportation. Select a site in
line with the engineering and environmental requirements for the telecom equipment.
The construction, structure, heating and ventilation, power supply, lighting and fire
fighting of the equipment room should be designed by specialized construction
designers. The equipment room shall be designed in accordance with the following
requirements:
z Environment requirements for access equipment running
z Requirements on industrial, environment protection, fire fighting, and civil air
defense
z Current standards or regulations of the local country or region
z Requirements of special technical process for building construction design.
The specific requirements for site selection of equipment room are as follows:
z Keep the site far from pollution sources.
For heavy pollution sources such as the smeltery and coal mine, keep a distance
of 5 km. For medium pollution sources such as the chemical, rubber and
galvanization industrials, keep a distance of 3.7 km. For light pollution sources
such as packinghouse and tanyard, keep a distance of 2 km. If these pollution
sources cannot be avoided, keep the equipment room in the perennial upwind
direction of the pollution sources. In addition, adopt the high-quality equipment
room or protection product.
z Keep the air vent of the equipment room away from the exhaust of city waste
pipes, big cesspools and sewage treatment tanks. Keep the equipment room in
the positive pressure state lest the corrosive gases enter the equipment room
and erode components and circuit boards.

z It is best to locate the equipment room in or above the second floor. If this cannot
be satisfied, the ground for equipment installation in the equipment room shall be
at least 600 mm above the maximum flood level in the local record.
z Keep the equipment room away from livestock farms. If this requirement cannot
be satisfied, it should be located in the perennial upwind direction of the livestock
farms.

The AC power supply system consists of mains, Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS)
and electric generator set. It supplies power in an integrated mode. The low-voltage
power supply system uses three-phase five-wire mode or mono-phase three-wire
mode. Table D7 lists the requirements for the nominal voltage and frequency of the
low-voltage AC.
D-10
Installation Manual
SmartAX MA5600 Multi-service Access Module Appendix D Environment Requirements
Voltage fluctuation allowed: For static electric network, fluctuation allowed: 10%;
valid value fluctuation: 15%; time: less than 500ms. For dynamic electric network,
fluctuation allowed: 10%; time: less than 2ms.
The UPS/mains switchover time shall be no more than 10ms. Otherwise, it may cause
equipment restart or reset.
In determining the AC capacity in the equipment room, you need to take into account
the working current and fault current. Independent equipment must have an
independent AC distribution protection device. The protection switch configuration
must be greater than that of the electricity device.
In designing the DC power supply system, you need take into account the maximum
payload in dynamic and static conditions. Besides, you have to reserve the margin.
The cabling in the power distribution panel must be figured out based on the
maximum capacity of the supplied power supply payload. In this way, you can decide
the type and size of the conducting wire.
The generator set shall have the following functions:
z Automatic power on and off
z Automatic recruitment
z Remote communication
z Remote control
z Remote measurement
z Standard interface and communication protocols
The following lists the specific requirements for the AC and DC power cables:
z The AC neutral for communications must use the conducting wire that has the
same cross section as the phase cable.
z Select the DC power feeder according to the long-term payload. If the cross
section exceeds 95 mm2, use the hard bus cable. If there is a great difference
between the recent and long-term payload, make the cabling by stages.
z The conducting wire is fire-resistant. Route the conducting wire according to the
local regulations, and set the low-voltage power distribution room according to
the local regulations, too.

z Use a DC power supply system that meets the standards and a power system
that has network access license.
z Enhance the reliability of the power supply system by improving the reliability of
the AC power supply system and decreasing the capacity of storage battery
reasonably. If it is difficult to upgrade the reliability of the DC power supply
system in small-size offices, increase the storage battery capacity properly.
z Strengthen the control over storage battery temperature and ventilation in the
storage battery compartment, where ventilation holes should be available to
decrease the possibility of explosion resulting from the gas released by the
storage battery.
z To ensure the normality of power supply, use the UPS or inverter.
z Configure the generator set for the office to ensure the normal communication in
case of mains failure. The capacity of the generator set is greater than or equal to
1.52 times of the continuous power supply equipment.
z Connect two sets of storage batteries in parallel. There usually is only one set of
UPS battery, and a set of backup UPS battery should be configured. If the
inverter or UPS is used, select the active inverter that can provide the maximum
power. A standby inverter should be configured.
z When DC-to-AC converter and UPS are used. The main converter shall be
selected based on the maximum power, and a standby converter shall be
configured.
The DC power supply of the office should use full floating charging mode. In the stage
of AC power supply, the rectifier performs floating charging with the 24-section VRLA
battery group in parallel connection to supply power for the communication equipment.
In the case of AC power cut-off, the storage battery will supply power. After the
recovery of AC power supply, adopt this mode for power supply: on-load, constant
voltage and current-limiting.
Place the power equipment near the telecom equipment to make the DC feeder as
short as possible. To reduce the power consumption and installation cost, the loop
voltage drop from the battery port to the equipment port should be smaller than 3.2 V.
Configure a centralized power room or battery room for the office with medium traffic,
or adopt the distributed power supply mode.
Use the integrated power supply for the office with small traffic. Note to prevent the
corrosive gas released by the battery from eroding the circuit board.
Table D8 lists the specifications for the DC power supply.

the communication loading and battery charging.
z Configure the backup rectifier modules. If there are no more than 10 active
modules, configure one backup module. If there are more than 10 active
modules, configure one backup module for every 10 active modules.
z Install the storage batteries in two or more groups. The capacity is determined by
the duration when the storage batteries supply power to the load. For most
offices, the batteries should be able to supply power for one hour at least. The
time for the storage battery set to supply power for load independently should
comply with the following specifications and also be determined in consideration
of the duration allowed for power cut-off.
The backup time for type 1 battery that supplies power for mains is 0.51 hour.
The backup time for type 2 battery that supplies power for mains is 12 hours.
The backup time for type 3 battery that supplies power for mains is 23 hours.

long-time power cut-off or no mains supply is 2024 hours.
z For unattended offices, the following factors should be considered for the storage
battery:
Certain amount of time for preparation after any failure report is learned.
The normal time for driving from the maintenance site to the office.
The time for troubleshooting.
For those offices that are on top of mountains or in suburban areas, generally
no technical personnel will be sent for inspection.
