1.1 Networking
This section describes the eBIMS networking.
Figure 1-1 shows the eBIMS networking.
Figure 1-1 eBIMS networking
Networking description:
lThe eBIMS consists of monitoring software, its auxiliary facilities, and information
collection hardware. The monitoring software refers to the eBIMS software installed on
the server. The information collection hardware includes eBoxes, eBats and eMeters.
lOne eBox can manage a maximum of 250 wireless sensors simultaneously. An eBox
collects information, such as battery temperature, voltage, and resistance, that monitored
by eBats by means of wireless connection, and sends the information to the eBIMS
software.
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, and
reports.
1.2 Safety Precautions
This section describes the safety precautions to be taken when you install, operate, and maintain
Huawei equipment.
1.2.1 General Safety Precautions
This section describes general safety precautions to be taken when you install and maintain the
eBIMS.

Overview
To ensure safety of humans and the equipment, pay attention to the safety symbols on the
equipment and all the safety instructions in this document. The CAUTION, WARNING, and
DANGER marks in this document do not represent all the safety instructions. They are only
supplements to the safety instructions.
Local Safety Regulations
When operating Huawei equipment, you must follow the local laws and regulations. The safety
instructions in this document are only supplements to the local laws and regulations.
Personal Requirements
Only trained and qualified personnel are allowed to perform operations.
lOnly trained and qualified personnel are allowed to install, operate, and maintain the
equipment.
lOnly trained and qualified personnel are allowed to remove safety facilities and inspect the
equipment.
lOnly personnel certified or authorized by Huawei are allowed to replace or change the
equipment or components (including software).
lInstallation personnel must report faults or errors that might cause serious security issues
to related owners.
Human Safety
lNever 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 to
telecommunication network voltage (TNV) circuits.
lBefore operating a device, wear electrostatic discharge (ESD) clothes, ESD gloves, and an
ESD 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 the
fire alarm bell or make an emergency call. Never enter the building on fire in any case.
Equipment Safety
lBefore operation, ensure that the equipment is firmly anchored to the floor or other solid
objects, 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 Objects
lWear protective gloves when moving heavy objects.

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 straight
and move smoothly to avoid injury.
1.2.2 Battery
This section describes the precautions to be taken when you operate batteries.
DANGER
Before operating batteries, carefully read the safety precautions for battery handling and
connection.
lIncorrect handling of batteries causes hazards. When operating batteries, avoid battery short
circuits 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 operations
may cause serious injuries.
Preventative Measures
When 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 the
battery 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 Circuit
DANGER
Battery short circuit may cause human injuries. Although the voltage of ordinary batteries is
low, 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.

Harmful Gas
Do not use unsealed lead-acid batteries. Place and secure lead-acid batteries horizontally to
prevent 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 place
with good ventilation, and take precautions against fire.
Battery temperature
High 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 electrolyte
overflow. If the electrolyte overflows, absorb and counteract the electrolyte immediately.
Acid leakage
In 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 leaking
electrolyte may hurt human bodies. When you find the electrolyte leaks, use the following
substances to counteract and absorb the leaking electrolyte:
lSodium bicarbonate (baking soda): NaHCO3
lSodium carbonate (soda): Na2CO3
When using substances to counteract and absorb electrolytes, strictly follow the guidelines
provided 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 Acceptance
After devices are delivered to the installation site, lay the packing cases neatly, and check the
devices on the presence of both the project supervisor and customer.
Operation Scenario
After the devices are delivered to the installation site, check that all the items are intact and
comply with the packing list on the presence of both the project supervisor and customer.

NOTE
lWhen transporting and moving the devices, components, or parts, protect them against collision with
doors, 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 materials
indoors. Take photos of the storage site, rusty or corroded devices, packing boxes, and packing
materials, and keep the photos for future use.
Procedure
1. Check that the number of accepted items is the same as the number of items described in
the 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 are
soaked or rusty, stop unpacking the devices and find the reasons. Provide the feedback
to 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 and
types 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. Sign on the Packing List with the customer after verifying that all required items are
delivered.
7. Store the devices properly.
