Introduction to the APM200
1.1 Purpose
Huawei APM200 is developed for advanced solution of Huawei mini base stations in outdoor
application scenario.
1.2 Positioning
The APM200 provides a comprehensive solution for outdoor mini base stations in terms of
the following aspects:
Power distribution
Lightning protection
Transmission equipment embedded installation
Transmission cable layout
DC power backup
The rollout of the APM200 meets the requirement of fast network construction in urban,
suburb and rural area.
Features of the APM200
2.1 Functional Parts

The APM200 is an integrated cabinet consists of the following functional parts:
Rectifier
Monitoring module
Power distribution unit
Lightning protection unit
Temperature control unit
Reserved space for batteries
Reserved space for users transmission equipment
An reserved AC receptacle
With the above units, the APM200 performs the following functions:
48V DC power supply
Battery management
Power distribution
Monitoring and communication of the power supply system
Temperature control
DC Power backup
Transmission equipment installation
A receptacle for maintenance
2.2 Installation Scenarios

The APM200 can be installed in the following scenarios:
On a rooftop
On the concrete floor
On an overhead platform (Note1)
In addition, the external cables of the APM200 are simple and easy to install.

Note1Since the whole weight of APM200 is very heavy with batteries full configuration, the
weight bearing ability requirement is much strict for the overhead platform installation and
this installation scenario is not recommended.
2.3 Environmental Adaptability

The APM200 is adaptable to the following environments:
In structural design, the APM200 can protect itself from the damage caused by the
following factors:
Water
Moisture
Mould
Corrosion
Theft
The open holes in the exterior of the APM200 cabinet help prevent the entry of foreign
objects into the cabinet. The APM200 is highly adaptable to outdoor environments.
The APM200 can protect the AC/DC power supply against lightning strokes. It can be
installed on a rooftop or on a mountain top where lightning strokes frequently occur.
The built-in rectifier of the APM200 can work within a wide range of AC voltages from
176 V AC to 290 V AC (corresponding to the rated power of the rectifier).
The APM200 has a good control of internal temperature and works within the
temperature range 40 to +50.
2.4 Easy Maintenance

The cables are led out from the bottom of the APM200 cabinet. You can replace faulty parts,
maintain the external ports, and connect the cables from the front of the APM200. The
rectifier and the monitoring module are hot-swappable. This facilitates the operation and
maintenance of the APM200.
