Safety Information
Following All Safety Precautions
Before any operation, read the instructions and precautions in this document carefully to minimize the possibility
of accidents.
The Danger, Caution, and Note items in the documents do not cover all the safety precautions that must be
followed. They only provide the generic safety precautions for operations.
When operating Huawei products and equipment, you must comply with safety precautions and special safety
instructions related to corresponding equipment provided by Huawei. The safety precautions in the document
are related to only Huawei products. Huawei is not liable for any consequence that results from the violation of
universal regulations for safety operations and safety codes on design, production, and equipment use.
Complying with the Local Safety Regulations
When operating the device, comply with the local safety regulations. The safety precautions provided in the
documents are supplementary.
Qualified Personnel Only
The personnel in charge of installation and maintenance must be trained and master the correct operating
methods and safety precautions before beginning work.
Symbols
Safety of Personnel
The high voltage power supply provides power for running the system. Direct contact with the high voltage
power supply or contact through damp objects may result in fatal danger.
Non-standard and improper high voltage operations may result in fire and electric shock.
In a thunderstorm, do not perform operations on high voltage and AC power supply facilities or on a steel
tower and mast.
Ground the device before powering on the device. Otherwise, the personnel and device are in danger.
Power off the device before performing operations on the power supply equipment.
High power radio-frequency signals are harmful to human body. Before installing or maintaining an antenna
on a steel tower or mast with a large number of transmitter antennas, the operator should coordinate with all
parties to ensure that the transmitter antennas are shut down.
When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look into the optical fiber outlet with unaided eyes.
Protect yourself when drilling holes. Flying dust may hurt your eyes or you may inhale the dust.
Power off the batteries before connecting the cables to the batteries. Otherwise, casualties may occur.
When working at a height, be cautious about falling objects.
Device Safety
Check the electrical connection of the device before operation and ensure that the device is reliably grounded.
The static electricity generated by the human body may damage the electrostatic sensitive components on
the circuit board, such as the large-scale integrated circuit (LIC). Wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist
strap or ESD gloves when performing the operation.
When working on batteries, take measures to prevent short circuits in the batteries and electrolyte spill/loss.
The electrolyte may erode metal and boards, or even cause rust of the equipment or short circuits in the boards.
When the equipment is unpacked, it must be powered on in 24 hours. The maximum duration of the power-
off state of the equipment is 24 hours during maintenance.
Indicates a hazard with a high level of risk, which if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.

Installation Options
The following figure describes the specifications for the metal pole, angle steel, and U-steel where the RRU is
installed.
Metal pole Angle steel U-steel
The brackets cannot be
combined when the RRUs
are installed on the wall.
zA maximum of two RRUs can be installed on a metal pole with a diameter of 60 mm to 75 mm, and the
installation mode must be standard mode. Three or more RRUs must be installed on a metal pole with a
diameter of 76 mm to 114 mm in a centralized way.
zIt is recommended that only one RRU be installed on a U-steel or an angle steel.
zWhen installed on a tower, one RRU can be installed only in standard mode or reverse mode rather than
side-mounted. Two RRUs cannot be installed in back-to-back mode.
The angle between
the vertical and the
angle steel or U-
steel or angle steel
where the RRU is
installed must be
less than or equal to
10 degree.

When installing the
main bracket,
ensure that the
contact piece on
the bracket is fixed.
You may fit one end of the auxiliary bracket on one dual-nut bolt assembly and then the other end on the
other dual-nut bolt assembly during the installation.
Fasten the two dual-nut bolt assemblies
alternatively. After the brackets are secure,
use a tape to measure the spacing between
the main bracket and the auxiliary bracket at
the two sides and ensure that the spacing is
the same.
zThe weight-bearing capacity of the RF
ports at the bottom of the RRU is low. Do
not place the RRU at its bottom.
zDuring the operation, place the foam
pad or cardboard under the RRU to
prevent any damage to the housing of
the RRU.
3. Install the RRU on the main bracket. When you hear click sound, you can infer that
the RRU is in position.
2. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the nut until the fastening torque is 40 N·m. In
this way, the main and auxiliary brackets are secured on the pole.

1. Place the auxiliary bracket at the installation position. Use a level to check that the
auxiliary bracket is placed horizontally. Then, mark the anchor points by using a
marking pen.
zIt is recommended that the auxiliary bracket be 1,200 mm to 1,600 mm above the ground.
zThe RRUs cannot installed on a wall in centralized mode. Therefore, expansion bolt assemblies should be
prepared for each RRU.
2. Drill holes at the anchor points and then install the expansion bolt assemblies.
When the RRU is installed on a wall, the requirements are as follows:
zFor one RRU, the wall has a weight-bearing capacity of 76 kg.
zThe fastening torque of the expansion bolt reaches 30 N·m, the expansion bolt works properly, and no
damages such as cracks are on the wall.

zFor details on how to add OT
terminals to the power cable of the RRU,
see page 23 " Adding OT Terminals by
Using a Wire Stripper."
zWhen wrapping the waterproof tape,
apply even force to extend the tape until
the width of the tape is 1/2 of the
original width.
zWrap the joint spirally upward,
downward, and then upward again. In
other words, the joint is wrapped by
three layers of the tape. Ensure that the
two immediate layers overlap with each
other about half the width of the tape.
For details, see page 25 “Waterproofing

Adding the OT terminals to the power cable involves adding OT terminals to the DC
RRU power cable and adding OT terminals to the shielding layer of the DC RRU power
cable.
bAdding OT Terminals by Using a Wire Stripper (Recommended)
Determine lengths of power cables for
different operations according to the scales on
the inner side of the cover plate of the cabling
cavity.
Based on the determined length, remove the
jacket and shielding layer off the power cable.
Add an OT terminal to each wire.
Strip a 15 mm jacket off the power cable to
reveal the shielding layer of the power cable
Remove the jacket from each wire.
The OT terminals must be added to the power cable before the RRU is installed on a metal pole.
