Chapter 4: Installation Procedures
Test Power Supply Voltage and Ground
This procedure tests the voltage levels and grounds of the NPM basestation and
the main power supply. The test ensures that the main power supply is providing
+24V DC and that the power supply and racks are properly grounded.
Figure 4.8 shows the pins of the basestation power cables.
Figure 4.8 Power Cable Pins
 To test the power supply voltage and ground
1 Ensure that all circuit breakers (CB) are in the OFF (down) position.
2 Remove the three fuses from the PDP on the radio rack by using a 1/4-inch
flathead screwdriver.
3 Configure your multimeter to read DC voltage. Autoscaling may be used.
4 If the basestation has a pre-installed utility shelf, disconnect the CB 11 power
cable from the PS0 connector on utility shelf. Leave the power cable connected to
CB 11 connector.
5 Test the voltage potential between the ground and return pins:
i Connect the multimeter probes to pins A2 (ground) and A3 (–). Either probe
may go to either pin.

A1 - +24V to +28V DC
A2 - chassis ground
A3 - negative return
WARNING: When CB 11 is in the ON (up) position, pin A1 is hot (+24V
DC). Never short-circuit pin A1 with any other pins or objects. Failure to heed
this warning may cause damage to or destruction of the basestation.
