User alarm requirements

Power alarms and user alarms

The UMTS cabinet has capacity for 32 alarms. Alarms 0 - 6 are reserved for power alarms. Alarms 7 - 31 are customer assignable. (Alarms 7 - 15, however, are not available if a 3GP24i power cabinet is used.) Power alarm cabling is provided by the manufacturer of the power equipment. User alarm cabling is provided in site preparation.

General requirements

Each user alarm generated shall be provided by a set of isolated dry relay contacts. An “alarm state” may be indicated by a “closed circuit” or an “open circuit”. If an alarm condition is indicated by a “closed circuit”, the alarm contacts shall present a contact closure when the alarm circuit fails or loses power. If an alarm condition is indicated by and “open circuit”, the alarm contacts shall present an “open circuit” when the alarm circuit fails or loses power. The resistance of a “closed circuit” shall be less than 100 ohms. The resistance of an “open circuit” shall be greater than 1 megahoms.

The user alarm facilities must be installed as part of site preparation. If required, the user alarm interface shall be equipped with a primary protection device. The user alarm cable is 0.25 mm2 (24-AWG), and consists of 16 twisted pair and is equipped with a 37-Pin, male D-sub connector at one end. The cable is 10 m (35 ft) long, and is color coded in accordance with standard telephone industry cable. The cable may be ordered from Alcatel-Lucent.

The Z-IDC block is required for termination of the first nine user alarms (alarm 7 through alarm 15 using the first alarm cable). If applicable, additional Z-IDC blocks may be required for the next 14 user alarms (alarms 16 through 31 using the second alarm cable). Z-IDC punchdown blocks may be ordered from Alcatel-Lucent. The Z-IDC blocks must be located within 10 m (35 ft) of the UMTS cabinet.

Important!  In the United States, refer to Article 800 of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, for selection and installation of the primary protector. In Canada, refer to Section 60 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA C22.1 for selection and installation of the primary protector.

For International applications, refer to ITU K.11, Principles of Protection Against Overvoltages and Overcurrents.

Terminating the user alarm cables at the Z-IDC punchdown block

The user alarm cables are terminated on the Z-IDC punchdown block as shown in the following table.
