Do not use unsealed lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries emit flammable gas. Therefore,
place and secure lead-acid batteries horizontally to prevent fire or corrosion.
Store lead-acid batteries in a place with good ventilation, and take fire safety precautions.
Battery Temperature
High temperature may result in battery distortion, damage, and electrolyte overflow.
Install or store batteries far away from fire sources and heating devices such as
transformers. Never burn batteries.
If the battery temperature exceeds 60°C, check the battery for electrolyte overflow. If
electrolyte overflows, handle the leakage immediately.
Electrolyte Leakage
In the case of electrolyte leakage, counteract and absorb the leaking electrolyte immediately.
When moving or handling a battery whose electrolyte leaks, note that the leaking electrolyte
may harm human bodies. If 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 manufacturer.
If any personnel are exposed to battery electrolyte, wash the exposed area with clean water
immediately and seek medical advice if the situation is serious.

Moving Heavy Objects
Perform operations in accordance with all instructional symbols on the device.
Take caution to avoid injury when moving heavy objects.
When moving or lifting a device, hold the handle or bottom of the device.
When transporting a device using a pallet truck, the forks must be properly positioned to
ensure that the device does not topple. No excessive tilt or jolt is allowed during the
transportation, and the maximum tolerance of the tilting angle during loading and
unloading is 15°. To avoid toppling, secure the device to the pallet truck by using ropes
before moving, and assign persons to watch out the device during movement.
Move the cabinet with caution. Any bumping or falling may damage the device.

Signal cables must be bound separately from strong-current cables and high-voltage cables.
Laying Out Cables
When the temperature is low, a violent strike or vibrations may damage the cable sheathing.
To ensure cable safety, comply with the following requirements:
Cables can be laid, or installed, only when the temperature is higher than 0°C (32°F).
Handle cables with caution, especially at lower temperatures.
Before laying out cables that have been stored in temperatures lower than 0°C (32°F),
move the cables to an environment that is at the requisite ambient temperature. Store
them in this environment for at least 24 hours.
Do not drop the cables directly from the vehicle.
As the insulation layer of a cable may age, or be damaged from high temperatures,
ensure a sufficient distance between cables and the DC busbars, shunts, and fuses.
Cables prepared by the customer should be flame resistant. Cables must not be routed
behind the air exhaust vent of the cabinet. The air exhaust vent should not be blocked by
any object.
Before connecting a cable, ensure that the cable and cable label to be used meet the actual
installation requirements.
1.7 Information About Foreign Objects near UPS
Equipment Installation
The purpose of this note is to provide information and warnings about the potential risks of
the operational integrity of an installed UPS. These risks are caused by foreign objects in or
near the UPS modules and relevant auxiliary equipment/components.
These risks are particularly high if conductive materials have entered the UPS modules/units
or the channels in the relevant auxiliary equipment/components.
Potential risks include damage to installed UPS equipment and subsequent power derating
and power failure of loads at critical positions.
Huawei UPS uses the highest safety standard in equipment design to ensure that live parts are
not in contact with the exterior and that no foreign object will enter the equipment during
operation.
However, when the UPS baffle plate and cover are open and the electrical wiring terminals
are exposed by the electrical contractor/installation personnel who are setting up a power line
connection, it is almost impossible to ensure that no foreign object will enter Huawei UPS
during onsite installation.
It is common to have someone working in the same room as the UPS during onsite
installation. Sometimes some people may be working above the UPS and relevant auxiliary
equipment/components.
To avoid serious damage to the onsite operation, property hazards, and personal injury
including fatal injury, it is the responsibility of each equipment manager or construction
