DC Power Pre-test (BTS Frame)
Before applying any power to the BTS frame, follow the procedure in
Table 2-2 while referring to Figure 2-3 to verify there are no shorts in the
BTS frame DC distribution system.
Table 2-2:
DC Power Pre–test (BTS Frame)
Step
Action
1
Physically verify
that all DC power sources supplying power to the frame are
OFF
or disabled.
2
On each frame:
S
Unseat
all circuit boards (except CCD and CIO cards) in the C–CCP shelf and LPA shelves, but
leave them in their associated slots.
S
Set C–CCP shelf breakers to the
OFF
position by
pulling out
power distribution breakers (labeled
C–CCP 1, 2, 3
) located on the power distribution panel.
S
Set LPA breakers to the
OFF
position by
pulling out
the LPA breakers (8 breakers, labeled
1A–1B
through
4C–4D
) located on the power distribution panel.
Continue with Step 3 for –48 V or Step 4 for +27 V.
3
For –48 V configurations ONLY:
Verify the resistance on the –48 V bus:
– Remove the Power Supply Modules (PSMs).
– Verify that the resistance from the power (–) feed terminal with respect to the ground terminal on
the top of the frame measures
> 500
Ω
(see Figure 2-3).
Verify the resistance on the +27 V bus:
– Remove PSM#1 or the filler panel.
! CAUTION
Do not put probes inside
Elcon
connectors.
– Place the Digital Multimeter probes on the mounting screws on the Elcon connector (bottom two
Elcon connectors).
– If reading is
< 500
Ω,
a short may exist somewhere in the DC distribution path supplied by the
breaker. Isolate the problem before proceeding. A reading
> 3 M
Ω
could indicate an open (or
missing) bleeder resistor (installed across the filter capacitors behind the breaker panel).
4
For +27 V configurations ONLY:
Verify that the resistance from the power (+ or –) feed terminals with respect to the ground terminal on
the top of the frame measures
> 500
Ω
(see Figure 2-3).
– If reading is
< 500
Ω,
a short may exist somewhere in the DC distribution path supplied by the
breaker. Isolate the problem before proceeding. A reading
> 3 M
Ω
could indicate an open (or
missing) bleeder resistor (installed across the filter capacitors behind the breaker panel).
5
Set the
C–CCP
breakers to the
ON
position by pushing them IN
one at a time
. Repeat Step 3 (for
–48 V) or Step 4 (for +27 V) after turning on each breaker.
NOTE
If the multimeter stays at
0
Ω
after inserting any board/module, a short probably exists in that
board/module. Replace the suspect board/module and repeat the test. If test still fails, isolate the
problem before proceeding.
