Description
This alarm is reported when the operating current of the Power Amplifier (PA) on a TX channel of the RF unit is
beyond the normal range.
Parameters
PA Temperature (C/F) Temperature of the PA
Major The RF unit automatically switches off the TX channel. The ongoing services carried
on the TX channel are disrupted.
System Actions
The RF unit automatically switches off the faulty TX channel. The system waits for one minute and then switches
on the TX channel. After five minutes, the system checks the alarm. If the alarm persists, the RF unit
automatically switches off the TX channel again. If the alarm persists after three switching-on attempts, the

1.1.193 ALM-26525 RF Unit Temperature Unacceptable

Description
This alarm is reported when the operating temperature of an RF unit is out of the normal range.
The rated operating temperature range is a hardware specification of RF units. This range varies depending on
the type of the RF unit.
Parameters
PA Temperature (C/F) Temperature of the PA
Board Temperature(C/F) Temperature of the board
Major The RF unit automatically switches off the TX channel to prevent the hardware from
being burned out because of high temperature. The ongoing services carried on the
RF unit are disrupted.
Minor The reliability of internal components of the RF unit may decrease when operating in
a high-temperature environment for a long period of time. Meanwhile, the quality of
services carried on the RF unit decreases.
System Actions
When the temperature of an RF unit exceeds the major alarm threshold, the RF unit automatically switches off
the TX channel. When the temperature of the RF unit drops to a certain value, the RF unit switches on the TX
channel again. To protect the power amplifier (PA) from being damaged by frequent switching-on and -off, this
alarm cannot be cleared after the TX channel has been switched off and on for three times. Under that
circumstance, users need to solve the temperature problem onsite and then manually reset the RF unit. When
the temperature of an RF unit is between the minor alarm threshold and the major alarm threshold, the BBU
limits the user access to a cell through the RF unit to prevent further power consumption and temperature
increase.
Possible Causes
The ambient temperature of the RF unit is extremely high, or the heat dissipation malfunctions.

1.1.194 ALM-26527 RF Unit Input Power Out of Range

Description
This alarm is reported when the baseband input power from the BBU to the RF unit is beyond the normal power
range of the RF unit.

Major The RF unit automatically performs the amplitude limitation on input power. In this
case, the quality of services carried on the RF unit may decrease, and call drops
may occur on edge of coverage of the RF unit.
System Actions

starts the stimulated downlink load.
The user access threshold is improper, which leads to the actual number of users to exceed the
allowed capacity of the RF unit.
The board in the BBU connected to the RF unit is running improperly.
Procedure

1.1.195 ALM-26529 RF Unit VSWR Threshold Crossed

Description
The voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) measures the signal power that the load actually receives from the
transmission line. This alarm is reported when the VSWR at the antenna port of the TX channel of an RF unit is
higher than the preset threshold.
Parameters
VSWR Alarm Threshold (0.1) VSWR alarm threshold configured by the user
VSWR Detected VSWR, the precision is 0.1
Major The return loss at the antenna port is excessive. When the detected VSWR exceeds
the major alarm threshold, the system determines whether to switch off the TX
channel of the RF unit based on the actual configurations. When "VSWR alarm
post-processing switch" is set to "ON", the TX channel of the RF unit is switched off
and the alarm cannot be automatically cleared, and the ongoing services carried on
the TX channel are disrupted..When "VSWR alarm post-processing switch" is set to
"OFF", the power of the RF unit is automatically decreased (by 3 dB by default) to

avoid hardware damage, and the alarm can be automatically cleared.
Minor The return loss at the antenna port is relatively large. In this case, the output power
of the RF unit decreases and the cell coverage shrinks.
System Actions
When the detected VSWR exceeds the minor alarm threshold, the system does not handle the alarm. The alarm
is automatically cleared when the detected VSWR becomes smaller than the alarm threshold. When the
detected VSWR exceeds the major alarm threshold, the system determines whether to switch off the TX
channel of the RF unit based on the actual configurations. When "VSWR alarm post-processing switch" is set to
"ON", the TX channel of the RF unit is switched off and the alarm cannot be automatically cleared.When "VSWR
alarm post-processing switch" is set to "OFF", the power of the RF unit is automatically decreased (by 3 dB by
default) to avoid hardware damage. Once the detected VSWR becomes smaller than the alarm threshold, the
alarm is automatically cleared.
Possible Causes
The preset VSWR threshold is very low. It is recommended that the VSWR alarm threshold not be
used as the VSWR acceptance threshold.
The VSWR threshold is set to an excessively low value for the other mode of the multi-mode RF
units.
The installation of jumpers does not comply with the plan.
