1. When mains available: On this condition that is mains is available, there is

an input (from the meter box through an MCB) at X and then all the
equipments are connected with this input at X through a connector which
connects at Z. Thus, the connected equipments are worked through an AC
mains.

External Alarm Status:

There is no active “External Alarm” from AMF panel.

Condition:

2. When mains fail: The condition when mains fail, there is no is no input at X,
then the microcontroller send an instruction to generate an alarm “MAINS
FAIL” After this alarm had been sent, it will wait for 3 minutes to start the
DG. After waiting 3 minutes then a control pulse will be sent to the self of
D.G. through G. The duration fo this pulse is maximum 30 seconds.

a) DG Not Start.

After 30 seconds, when there, is no input received at Y. Then if will wait for
another 3 minutes and will send second control pulse to the self for 30
seconds. At this condition also DG doesn’t start, as a result of it, there is no
input at Y.

14
 Then after waiting for 3 minute, a control pulse is send to the self for third
time for a duration of 30 second to the DG. After this third attempt if there is
no input at Y. Then it will generate an external alarm called “D.G. FAILS TO
START”

Alarm Status:

(1) Mains fail (Active)

(2) DG Fails to Start (Active)

(b) The D.G. will shift from X to Y

Now all equipments will work on site with DG. The controller will generate

At this condition, as, the mains get back, now there is an input at X. Then the
controller will then shift to X from Y. The n controller cleans the alarm
“MAINS FAIL”

Alarm status = 1. MAINS FAIL (Clear)

2. SITE ON DG (Active)

15
 It will wait for 3 minute and it will load from Y To X. It clears the alarm
“SITE ON DG”. And then it will generate an external alarm “DG ON NO
LOAD” as the DG is running without load.

Alarm Status:

Mains Fail (Clear).

Site on DG (Clear)
DG ON NO LOAD (Active)

Now controller send control pulse to solenoid of the DG. The duration of that
pulse will be 30 seconds.

4. Condition: DG NOT STOP

At this condition, if the DG does not stop, then it will wait for 3 minutes to
send the pulse. If the DG does not stop then it repeats to asend pulse. The
minimum attempt is only 3 times. After the third attempt is also fails and then
an external alarm “DG FAILS TO STOP” will generate.

Alarm Status:

DG ON NO LOAD (Active)
DG FAILS TO STOP (Active)

16
5. Condition: DG Stop:

At this condition, if there is an input at Y. Then, this alarm will be cleared.

Chapter- 6 Outdoor Installation
Work Execution:
To execute the work of outdoor installation, we have to work according
to given RF Plan. There are the work which we have to done during
installation of antenna line:-

I. Antenna Assembling:

First of all we have to select an antenna or antenna according to RF Plan. The

antennas have its port. Basically the connecting port of antenna are female port.

We assembled the clamp according to the antenna.

After assembling of clamp we arrange the Tilt for antenna according to RF Plan.
Mostly we use electrical tilt which is from O0 to 100.

Fig 6.1 Antenna Assembling

60
For electrical tilt we have a knob (in case of Katherine) Hook (Andrew) Mostly we
used two lamp for proper assembling. All the work of clamp assembling and lilt
arrangement should be on ground.

II. Jumper Cable Assembeling:

We have to assemble jumper cable according to RF plan. Means if we have 3 pannel

antenna which are dual port, we used 6 jumper cable for all six antennas. In which
one is for transmitting and other one is receiving.

On the port of panel antenna we connect the connector of jumper cable. These cable
have connectors of 7/8” Mall and 7/8” Female for connection. After that we connect
the cable to antenna port. These connections should be tool tight. After tightening the
connection we use weathering proofing Kit at the connection of jumper cable to
panel antenna.

The jumper cable have its open female port in other end. These open female port
should be covered by temporary sealing of polybags etc. we use temporary sealing to
protect the cable from sudden rain at the time of installing we make a circle of
pumper cable to prevent it from damage and we use two cable tie at this place. Fig
6.2 Jumper Cable Assembeling

Weather Proofing Antenna

Cable Tie

O/D Jumper Cable

61
RF Cable Measurement:

RF cable we used mostly, made up of as although we also have feeder cable of

aluminum but because it have less flexibility and durability so we prefer Cu Cable.

Mostly at the sites the feeder cable we got in the form of bundle and in the bundle we
got to know that the cable we receive is of proper length. For length measurement the
permanent labels are percent on feeder cable which shows the length of cable.

We cut the cable according to RF plan let we need a cable of 47.5 meter we cut it by
the help of Andrew cutter or feeder cutter. After cutting of cable we should use
temporary sealing at every end of cable to present it from sudden rain or water etc.
for the duration of installation.

Fig 6.3 RF Cable Measurement

We have printed number at every certain distance to which tells the exact length.

62
III. RF Clamp Assembling:

We use RF clamp to hold the feeder cable with cable tray. The cable tray may be
vertical or horizontal. At vertical cable tray the distance between two RF clamp
should be I to 1.5 meter and in horizontal cable tray we should maintain a distance of
0.6 to 9.

Let we are maintain a distance of 1 meter with VCT and O.8 meter at HCT.

The RF clamp should not be properly tight until we pass cable through it.
There should not be Zig-Zag routing for cable.

IV. Sector Selection:

We got RF Plan in which we see that we have to install panel antenna according to
sector given to it. To know the sector we have to use mirror compass and after that
we should see the position of sectors.

We use azimuth of antenna which is angle of an object with respect to north in

clockwise direction.

N
III-Sector I-Sector

45°
200°

300°

II-Sector

Fig 6.5 Sector Selection

V. Antenna Hanging:

Before antenna hanging we write all the configuration by permanent marker on the
backside of antenna.

Now we have to use rope and pull or geared machine to carry the antenna from
ground to tower. We fit a pulley on a height of tower which is about 3 to 5 meter
more than the height of panel antenna. Now we fit a rope on this pulley and slowly

64
pull the rope which have one end tied with antenna and other end is pulled to carry
the antenna at tower height.

But in carrying of antenna from ground to tower we should be careful that antenna
should not be touched with tower body.

Fig 6.6 Antenna Hanging

65
VI. Routing of RF Cable:

For routing of RF cable we should route the cable from to P to bottom. We should
route only two cables at same time rest cable should be in bend like structure.

According to the clamp we should open the feeder cable, we should not open the hole
band of cable in one time.

After putting the RF cable in the RF-clamp we should not tight RF clamp properly
because we may need more cable in the bottom.
Routing of RF cable should be through the Roxtec and using 2-band inside the
shelter.
The routing of cable should not be in Zig-Zag Way. It should be according to sector.

Fig 6.7 Routing of RF cable

VII. RF Connectorization:

66
RF connectorization is the process in which we fit the connector in the RF cable.

For connectorization we should have male and female connector according to our
need.

For fitting the connector we should remove the outer insulation of Rf cable to ½ 11
and then fit connector on it. We remove the outer insulation by the help of 32”
spanner.

Fig 6.8 RF connecters

VIII. Earthing Kit Assembling:

To assemble the earthing kit at feeder cable we have to remove the outer insulation of
feeder cable and then we should apply the cu-strip of earthing kit and after that we
close that connection by the help of weather proofing kit.

Earthing Kit should be use at 1 to 1.5 meter jumper feeder connection and should be
terminated with EGB or Tower body.

To terminated with tower body we have to remove the outer paint of tower with
scrubber and then we should terminate it.

67
For one cable we should use minimum two earthing kit and maximum according to
height of antenna.

Earthing kit
assembled on RF
Cable

Fig 6.9 Earthing kit assembling

68
IX. Dummy Clamp:

We should use dummy damp at bending point of feeder cable from VCT to HCT.

This bending should make a virtual circle of radius <300 mm.

The dummy clamp is used according to feeder cable if no of feeder cable is size, then
we should use six dummy clamps.

X. Cable Tie:

We should use cable tie according to need at outdoor we mostly used 10” cable tie,
these cable tie are mostly of black colour.

In case of Indoor we must use cable tie of 6” size. The colour of tie in case of indoor
is black & white.

We should maintain a distance of 250-300 mm between two cable tie. The cable tie
should not be loss.

XI. Entry of Cable inside the Shelter:

To entry of feeder cable any type of cable we use Roxtec. The cable pass through it
and we should connect the cable to surge arrestor. The connections should be hand
tight. There we do not need any weather proofing kit. We should properly connect
the surge arrestor to IGB by the help of 416 sq. mm grounding cable.

69
XII. Labeling:

Labeling is the most important part of installation we should use temporary labeling
as well as permanent labeling to know the cable location and which sector it is using
for.

We use three types of tape for labeling

Green PVC Tape, Red PVC Tape, Bene PVC Tape

First of all we should use labeling at antenna and then at every bending we should
mark the cable according to sector and TX and RX.

We should use transparent sticker for these a places..

1. On outdoor jumper near antenna port.
2. On outdoor jumper near feeder cable
3. On feeder cable near outdoor jumper
4. On feeder cable before Z-bends
5. On feeder cable inside the shelter
6. On indoor jumper cable near BTS port.

Fig 6.10 Labellling Of Antenna line

70
Except this labeling we also use temporary labeling for particular sector according to
tx and rx sections.

XIII. Site Cleaning and Dismantllizing:

After complete installation of site the site should be clean of unused accessories.
These any be cable insulations and nut and bolt, unused cable ties, cutting piece of
cable tie, cutting of cables etc. we should clean it as the person who visit at site
should not be disturbs by it.

The things which can be use should dismantlize and should send the warehouse.

Chapter-8 Site Analyzer

Fig 8.1 Site Analyzer

Site Analyzer and how we use it:

Site analyzer is a test equipment which is used in telecom sites to measure the
different reading like VSWR, return loss, reflected power, forward power etc. and it
is also used for fault localization in antenna and antenna line.

Requirement for Using Site Analyzer:

1. Dummy Load
2. ½” F – 7/8” F – Adapter
3. ½” M - 7/8” F Adapter
4. ½” F – 7/8”M Adapter
5. Site analyzer software
6. Data cable (D-9 RS 232 serial straight cable)
7. Calibration Kit
8. Element 50W, 5W

90
Procedure to Operate:

1. Put ‘ON’ the site analyzer by pressing the ‘ON’ button. The display will be
on.
2. After few second the display goes to any one mode in which it previously
operated
3. To change mode press mode button and screen changes to made, here three
modes:

(i) Measure Match

(ii) Fault Localization
(iii) Measure Power

4. To measure VSWR just set the measurement with selection button of its front
side.
5. After that screen changes to measure match
6. Now press the configuration button and select change frequency by selection
button after that screen will change.
7. After that process arrow to fill upper limit of frequency it should be 960
MHZ.
8. Press escape button and screen changes to measure match.
9. Now we see at the bottom of the display the calibration is OFF. We have to
calibrate to get the reading is a proper manner.
10. Now we press calibration button from the functions and screen changes to it
11. Now we connect open calibration kit and from selection open it after few
second it shows that open calibration done.
12. Now we connect short calibration kit and select it from the selection key,
after few second it also calibrated.
13. Now we connect dummy load on RF Port and press load after few second it
shows that calibration is done.

91
14. We see that now calibration is full.
15. Now we press configuration button and select scale.
16. After select scale for VSWR readings.
17. Now we can take VSWR readings.
18. To take VSWR readings press marker button from the function and press
enter.
19. Press marker-1 and On it from selection keys after that we see the readings of
VSWR.

Fault Localization

For fault localization we do the following procedure:

i) Press mode button from functions key

ii) And select Fault localization
iii) After that press configuration and screen will change.
iv) After connection of RF line with port of site analyzer press marker button.
v) After that ‘on’ marker 1 from selection button and take scale from 1 to 8
meter or desired meter value.
vi) After that we see various marks of different distances will localized the
fault.

Chapter -9 Conclusion
Now a days telecom is a growing field as everywhere the project of 4G installation
and 3G installation is coming and work of installation and commissioning is in the
full swing. Whenever a company install a site at any place they required engineers
who can work their and should know the basics of telecom engineering and should
know how to work on the equipment. After undergo training for the telecom field I
would be aware of the field and the things related to it. That was a platform where I
learn that how to commission and integrate the equipment and learn many things and
co-ordination with team. Really it was very helpful, After undergo training I would
be able to installation of RF equipment with commissioning and alignment of
microwave equipment and integration and testing of cell site.

Future Scope:
If we talk about future scope of telecom field ,it relly have great opportunities and
now days every things is depend on internet. In every business we are using mobile
phone and at evry aspect of life we require a source of communication for that
communication we need cell sie so installation is in full swing. If we talk about the
scenario of india in telecom. Installation of 4G just stared and the engineer who is
able to work at the 3G can easily work on 4G .

Recently in Delhi Reliacnce Jio stared their project of 4G and they require about
6000 engineer in delhi location.

As a telecom engineer none should be faced problem if he know how to work.
