1.1 NetworkingThis section describes the eBIMS networking.Figure 1-1 shows the eBIMS networking.Figure 1-1 eBIMS networkingNetworking description:lThe eBIMS consists of monitoring software, its auxiliary facilities, and informationcollection hardware. The monitoring software refers to the eBIMS software installed onthe server. The information collection hardware includes eBoxes, eBats and eMeters.lOne eBox can manage a maximum of 250 wireless sensors simultaneously. An eBoxcollects information, such as battery temperature, voltage, and resistance, that monitoredby eBats by means of wireless connection, and sends the information to the eBIMSsoftware.lOne battery connects to one eBat.lOne battery string connects to one eMeter.lYou can log in to the server from a client to manage batteries, resources, the system, andreports.1.2 Safety PrecautionsThis section describes the safety precautions to be taken when you install, operate, and maintainHuawei equipment.1.2.1 General Safety PrecautionsThis section describes general safety precautions to be taken when you install and maintain theeBIMS.eBIMSProduct Installation Guide 1 OverviewIssue 02 (2015-01-09) Huawei Proprietary and ConfidentialCopyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.2
OverviewTo ensure safety of humans and the equipment, pay attention to the safety symbols on theequipment and all the safety instructions in this document. The CAUTION, WARNING, andDANGER marks in this document do not represent all the safety instructions. They are onlysupplements to the safety instructions.Local Safety RegulationsWhen operating Huawei equipment, you must follow the local laws and regulations. The safetyinstructions in this document are only supplements to the local laws and regulations.Personal RequirementsOnly trained and qualified personnel are allowed to perform operations.lOnly trained and qualified personnel are allowed to install, operate, and maintain theequipment.lOnly trained and qualified personnel are allowed to remove safety facilities and inspect theequipment.lOnly personnel certified or authorized by Huawei are allowed to replace or change theequipment or components (including software).lInstallation personnel must report faults or errors that might cause serious security issuesto related owners.Human SafetylNever operate the equipment or touch the cables in the case of a thunderstorm.lTo avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits totelecommunication network voltage (TNV) circuits.lBefore operating a device, wear electrostatic discharge (ESD) clothes, ESD gloves, and anESD wrist strap. Do not wear jewelry or watches when you operate the device.lIn the case of fire, immediately leave the building or the equipment room, and turn on thefire alarm bell or make an emergency call. Never enter the building on fire in any case.Equipment SafetylBefore operation, ensure that the equipment is firmly anchored to the floor or other solidobjects, such as a wall or an installation rack.lNever block the air vent when the system is running.lWhen installing a panel, use tools to tighten the screws.lAfter the installation, remove the packing materials from the equipment area.Moving Heavy ObjectslWear protective gloves when moving heavy objects.eBIMSProduct Installation Guide 1 OverviewIssue 02 (2015-01-09) Huawei Proprietary and ConfidentialCopyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.3
lBe careful to prevent injury when moving heavy objects.lAt least two persons are required to move a battery. When lifting it, keep your back straightand move smoothly to avoid injury.1.2.2 BatteryThis section describes the precautions to be taken when you operate batteries.DANGERBefore operating batteries, carefully read the safety precautions for battery handling andconnection.lIncorrect handling of batteries causes hazards. When operating batteries, avoid battery shortcircuits and electrolyte overflow or leakage.lElectrolyte overflow may damage the device. It will corrode metal parts and circuit boards,and ultimately damage the device and cause short circuit of circuit boards.lBecause storage batteries have high power, short circuits caused by incorrect operationsmay cause serious injuries.Preventative MeasuresWhen installing and maintaining batteries, pay attention to the following points:lUse special insulating tools.lTake care to protect your eyes when operating batteries.lWear rubber gloves and a protective coat in case of electrolyte overflow.lWhen handling a battery, ensure that its electrodes are upward. Leaning or reversing thebattery is prohibited.lSwitch off the power supply during installation and maintenance.lOpen the circuit breaker contacts of the battery group before installing the eBat.lClose the circuit breaker contacts of the battery group after the eBat is successfully installed.Short CircuitDANGERBattery short circuit may cause human injuries. Although the voltage of ordinary batteries islow, the instantaneous high current caused by the short circuit releases a great deal of energy.Prevent battery short circuits that are caused by metal objects. If metal objects must be used,first disconnect the batteries in use before performing any other operations.eBIMSProduct Installation Guide 1 OverviewIssue 02 (2015-01-09) Huawei Proprietary and ConfidentialCopyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.4
Harmful GasDo not use unsealed lead-acid batteries. Place and secure lead-acid batteries horizontally toprevent inflammation or device corrosion due to flammable gas emitted from batteries.The lead-acid batteries in use may emit flammable gas. Therefore, store the batteries in a placewith good ventilation, and take precautions against fire.Battery temperatureHigh temperature may result in battery distortion, damage, and electrolyte overflow.When the temperature of the battery is higher than 60°C, check the battery for electrolyteoverflow. If the electrolyte overflows, absorb and counteract the electrolyte immediately.Acid leakageIn the case of electrolyte leaks, counteract and absorb the leaking electrolyte immediately.When moving or handling a storage battery whose electrolyte leaks, note that the leakingelectrolyte may hurt human bodies. When you find the electrolyte leaks, use the followingsubstances to counteract and absorb the leaking electrolyte:lSodium bicarbonate (baking soda): NaHCO3lSodium carbonate (soda): Na2CO3When using substances to counteract and absorb electrolytes, strictly follow the guidelinesprovided by the battery supplier.If your body meets the acid, wash the part that has met the acid with clean water immediately,or immediately call a doctor if the situation is serious.1.3 Unpacking and AcceptanceAfter devices are delivered to the installation site, lay the packing cases neatly, and check thedevices on the presence of both the project supervisor and customer.Operation ScenarioAfter the devices are delivered to the installation site, check that all the items are intact andcomply with the packing list on the presence of both the project supervisor and customer.eBIMSProduct Installation Guide 1 OverviewIssue 02 (2015-01-09) Huawei Proprietary and ConfidentialCopyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.5
NOTElWhen transporting and moving the devices, components, or parts, protect them against collision withdoors, walls, or shelves.lNever touch the uncoated surface of parts or components with sweat-soaked or dirty gloves.lTo protect the devices and help cause identification, store the unpacked devices and packing materialsindoors. Take photos of the storage site, rusty or corroded devices, packing boxes, and packingmaterials, and keep the photos for future use.Procedure1. Check that the number of accepted items is the same as the number of items described inthe Packing List and that the destination address is the address of the installation site.2. Check that the packing case is intact.lIf the outer surface of a packing case is damaged or soaked, or the devices inside aresoaked or rusty, stop unpacking the devices and find the reasons. Provide the feedbackto the local office of Huawei.lIf the devices are in good condition, unpack and accept the devices.3. Use a knife to cut the tape along the seams of the carton cover, and check the number andtypes of devices in the packing box against the packing list.4. Unpack the carton labeled "Contain Packing List" and take out the Packing List.5. Check all devices against the packing list.lIf shortage or miscarriage occurs, fill in the Cargo Shortage and Miscarriage Report.lIf cargo damage occurs, fill in the Cargo Replacement Application Form.6.
