Loca- Component Description

tion
1 Power distribution unit AC unit and DC unit are installed together in the integrated
chassis.
2 Rectifier group With full configuration, four rectifiers can be installed in the
subrack.
3 Monitor unit The monitor unit is installed on the right most of the integrated
chassis. The unit is responsible for the display, control, alarm
raising, and monitor for the system. Without the monitor unit,
the system can operate properly, but the remote functions
(telemetry, telecommand, and telecontrol) cannot work and the
battery group persists in floating charge mode.
1. Power distribution unit

The power distribution unit integrates DC and AC distribution units. The AC distribution
unit achieves the access, protection and distribution of alternative power sources. The
DC distribution unit achieves the output of direct power source, access of batteries,
and load protection.
The front panel of the power distribution unit is displayed in Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2 Power Distribution Unit Front Panel
Location Name Description
1 AC-OUT AC power output for the heater.
2 AC-INPUT External AC power input.
3 AC-INPUT switch Controls the connection and disconnection of each AC

power input, and has the overload tripping function. The
AC input of the rectifier has no switch, so the rectifier is
powered on if this switch is closed.
4-3

Location Name Description
4 AC-OUT switch Controls the connection and disconnection of each AC

power output. The heater operates if this switch is closed.
5 AC SPD Provides lightning protection for the system. In normal

state, the lightning arrester window is displayed in green.
If the lightning arrester is damaged by the lightning,
the window is displayed in red. The replacement of a
lightening arrester can be performed without cutting off
the power supply.
6 Battery Input switch Controls the connection and disconnection of each

battery input and provides overload protection.
7 DC-OUT switch Controls the connection and disconnection of each DC

power output and provides overload protection.
8 DC-OUT DC power output for each cabinet load.
9 Battery Input Input for the battery.
2. Rectifier group
The B121 power supply subrack supports at most 4 rectifiers. The rectifier is illustrated
in Figure 4-3.
Figure 4-3 Rectifier
The status indicators of a rectifier are displayed in Figure 4-4.
Figure 4-4 Rectifier Indicators
For a description of the status indicators, refer to Table 4-1.

l In normal state, only the power indicator is lit.
l If current limiting occurs for the rectifier, the power indicator is flashing.
l If the rectifier encounters abnormal state, the alarm indicator is lit.
l If the rectifier is faulty, the fault indicator is lit.

Fan failure
Other failures
Note:
If the power indicator and alarm indicator are flashing at the same time, the status
means that the rectifier is downloading programs from the EMS.
3. Monitor unit
The monitor unit provides information query, system control, alarm raising, history
records storage, and remote monitor related to the B121 power supply subrack. Figure

Jumpers
In ZXSDR B8200 GU360, jumpers are located on the SA/SE board. The jumper setting
on the SA board is consistent with that on the SE board.
Note:
When the jumper cap is removed, it means 0 (OFF). When the jumper cap is inserted, it
means 1 (ON).
With the SA/SE jumpers, you can configure transmission mode over the uplink/downlink
E1, uplink/downlink T1, and the BDS_ID cascaded connection. Figure 5-21 describes the
jumpers on a SA/SE board.
Figure 5-21 Location of SA/SE Jumpers
Caps for MODE_ABIS and BDS_ID jumpers on the SA/SE board should be inserted, and
the setting principle of these two jumpers is shown as follows:
l The MODE_ABIS is used to set uplink/downlink long-line/short-line mode and E1/T1
mode.
For ZXSDR B8200 GU360, merely short-line mode can be configured. Therefore, do
not insert jumper caps to the two MSB positions at MODE_ABIS (MODE_ABIS3,2>).
The two LSB positions of MODE_ABIS (MODE_ABIS1,0>) are used to set E1/T1
mode. For details, please refer to Jumper Setting Description of Table 5-12.
l The BDS_ID jumper is usually set to 000. It is set to other values in cascaded
connections.

Functions
RSU82 is a dual-mode multi-carrier GSM/UMTS unit, which works with the frequency band
of 900 MHz/1800 MHz/2100 MHz. One RSU82 supports two transmission channels, four
receiving channels, and two GSM/UMTS sectors. The RSU82 can be configured as the
GSM single mode, UMTS single mode, or GSM/UMTS dual mode.
In the GSM single mode, the RSU82 can support up to eight carriers. In the UMTS single
mode, RSU82 can support two 900 MHz carriers with the maximum output power of 80
W, or two 2100 MHz carriers with the maximum output power of 60 W. In the GSM/UMTS
dual mode, it can support eight GSM carriers plus two UMTS carriers, or four GSM carriers
plus four UMTS carriers.
Over the Uu interface, RSU82 subsystem implements the following (including UE access
and radio link transmission):
l Processes RF.
l Modulates and Demodulates.
l Controls the power of carrier.
l Receives diversity.
l Calibrates and synchronizes.
