INTRODUCTION

 Alarm’s are used to monitor the site in case of any fault occur then
alarm panel automatically generate the alarm for corresponding fault
occurred at site.

AMIT MISHRA 2
 Why alarm’s are used at site?

 External alarm is important at BTS site because in case of any fault occur
then as a maintenance engineer it will be easier for us to identify the
problem and rectify it accordingly.
 We can check at DDF, where termination of alarm is done.
 It provide security and stability to whole BTS site.

 ALARM NAME OR SYNTAX OR TITLE

 It define the name of the alarm at BTS site.

 It may differ according to the operator.
 Depending upon BTS used syntax or title can change.
 Some of the example of name of alarm operator are as follow’s..

BTS NAME ALARM NAME

 NOKIA FLEXI BTS  DG FAIL’S TO START

 MAIN’S FAILURE

 ERICSSION RBS 2964  DG FAIL’S TO STOP

 DOOR OPEN

AMIT MISHRA 6
 PARAMETER DESCRIPTION CONTINUED

 ALARM NO

 Every operator decide a particular alarm no for it’s BTS site and accordingly
series of alarm is decided.

for eg-7401 in NOKIA flexi BTS case.

ALARM TYPE

 Type of alarm mean’s that either alarm will be normally

Closed or normally open.
 Normally open mean’s that state of alarm in NORMALLY NORMALLY
normal condition is OPEN. OPEN CLOSED
 Normally closed mean’s that state of alarm in
normal condition is closed.

 PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
CRITICAL

SEVERITY
CRITICAL
MAJOR

 Critical mean’s that ,it require immediate attention, MINOR

if on BTS site any alarm is critical defined that mean’s
that level of alarm severity is high.
for eg : LLOP- low lubricant oil pressure.

MAJOR

 Major mean’s that ,it’s severity level is lesser than critical but it is also needed
attention as soon as possible.
for eg: low fuel level
MINOR

 Minor mean’s that ,it’s severity level is lesser in compare to other alarm and site
may not get affected as much as in case of critical and major.
for eg- site on DG.

COLOUR CODE CODE

 The colour code of alarm wire is decided by

operator itself.
 Always it will exist in pair for PCM cable’s used.

AMIT MISHRA 9
 ROUTE OF ALARM

 It decide the route of alarm or we can say that where alarm connection start
till termination of that alarm.

 ROOT CAUSE

 Root cause mean’s the exact cause of fault which led to the alarm at the site.

 ALARM CABLE CONNECTION  Alarm cable are PCM cable.
 They exist in pair’s.
 Each alarm will be connected to ddf with
these cable.(two wire is one pair)
 37 pin D-type connector.
 Alarm ddf installed on shelter wall.
 Alarm’s are connected to sensor’s.

25 PAIR PCM CABLE

 TO ELABORATE ABOVE DESCRIPTION TAKE EXAMPLE OF NOKIA FLEXI BTS

 There are 12 external alarm for nokia flexi BTS.

 For 12 alarm connection ,we need 37 pin D connector in which 24 pin’s
will be used.
 For each alarm , we require one pair E1 cable having two wire.
 Termination of these cable is done on DDF i.e from BTS to DDF and from
alarm sensor to DDF.

 INSTALLATION PROCESS-  Initial step before installation-

(1)Alarm cable is too long so cut it into two pieces.

(2)1st cable will be used to take alarm from rectifier

smart pack i/o ports to crone.

(3)2nd cable with connector at one end will be used for

taking alarms from krone to BTS EAC port(2G cabinet).

 Connect the alarm cable connector on EAC port at BTS(2G cabinet)

 Bring the other end of alarm cable to rectifier through roxtec.
 Punch the alarm cable on the lower side of krone according to the alarm’s sequence.
 The alarm cable should be fixed properly with ties and properly routed.

 Overall summary is that on any BTS site external alarm’s are important.
 Alarm’s make fault finding easy.
 External alarm’s make BTS site safer and easy to maintain.
 Each alarm has it’s own importance cannot be neglected.
