1 Overview
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.
Only trained and qualified personnel are allowed to install, operate, and maintain the
equipment.
Only trained and qualified personnel are allowed to remove safety facilities and inspect the
equipment.
Only personnel certified or authorized by Huawei are allowed to replace or change the
equipment or components (including software).
Installation personnel must report faults or errors that might cause serious security issues
to related owners.
Human Safety
Never operate the equipment or touch the cables in the case of a thunderstorm.
To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to
telecommunication network voltage (TNV) circuits.
Before 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.
In 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
Before operation, ensure that the equipment is firmly anchored to the floor or other solid
objects, such as a wall or an installation rack.
Never block the air vent when the system is running.
When installing a panel, use tools to tighten the screws.
After the installation, remove the packing materials from the equipment area.

Product Installation Guide
1 Overview
Be careful to prevent injury when moving heavy objects.
At 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.
Incorrect handling of batteries causes hazards. When operating batteries, avoid battery short
circuits and electrolyte overflow or leakage.
Electrolyte 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.
Because 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:
Use special insulating tools.
Take care to protect your eyes when operating batteries.
Wear rubber gloves and a protective coat in case of electrolyte overflow.
When handling a battery, ensure that its electrodes are upward. Leaning or reversing the
battery is prohibited.
Switch off the power supply during installation and maintenance.
Open the circuit breaker contacts of the battery group before installing the eBat.
Close 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.

Product Installation Guide
1 Overview
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:
Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda): NaHCO3
Sodium 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.
