NOTE
lThe longest remote distance of the DC power cable for a single BTS3900E is 100 m. The longest
remote distance of the DC power cables for cascaded BTS3900Es is 50 m.
lA maximum of three DC BTS3900Es can be cascaded in chain topology.
lIn indoor application scenario, the BTS3900E supports distributed installation of combined cabinets.
The distance between the combined cabinets is shorter than or equal to 10 km.
The full names of common cabinet names whose abbreviations are used in this document are
listed as follows:
lBBC: Battery Cabinet
lAPM: Advance Power Module
lAPM30H: Advance Power Module(with Heat-exchanger Cooling)
