Before operating a device, wear electrostatic discharge (ESD) clothes, ESD gloves, and
an ESD wrist strap. Remove any conductors (such as jewelry or watches) before the
operation to avoid electric shocks or burns.
In the case of fire, leave the building or the equipment room immediately, and turn on the
fire alarm bell or make an emergency call. Never enter the building on fire in any case.
If the cabinet provides an ESD jack, wear an ESD wrist strap and insert the ground
terminal of the ESD wrist strap into the jack.
Ensure all switches are turned to OFF during device installation.
Power on the UPS only after authorized engineers arrive at the site.
If a C2 UPS is used in residential areas, additional measures must be taken to prevent
radio frequency interferences.
If the UPS is used for life-supporting medical apparatus and facilities such as lifts where
adequate care has to be taken to ensure personal safety, discuss with the manufacturer in
advance about the applicability, settings, management, and maintenance of the UPS,
which require special considerations during design.
Device Safety
Before operation, ensure that the device is firmly anchored to the floor or other solid
objects, such as a wall or an installation rack.
Ensure ventilation vents are unblocked while the system is operating.
Before powering on the device, ensure that all the screws inside it are securely tightened
and will not fall off during operation.
After the installation, remove packing materials from the equipment area.
Replace danger signs that have worn out or are unreadable.
A UPS can be used to serve resistive-capacitive loads, resistive loads, and
micro-inductive loads. It is recommended that a UPS not be used for pure capacitive
loads, pure inductive loads, and half-wave rectification loads. It does not apply to energy
feedback loads.
Do not alter the UPS internal structure or installation procedure unless consent from the
manufacturer is given.
Never use water to clean electrical components inside or outside the UPS.
Do not drill holes into a cabinet.
1.2 Electrical Safety
High Voltage
The high voltage power supply provides power for the device operation. Direct or indirect
contact with high voltage power sources may result in fatal injury.
Non-standard or incorrect high voltage operations may result in fire and electric shocks.
The personnel who install the AC facility must be qualified to perform high voltage and
AC operations.

When selecting, connecting, and routing power cables, ensure compliance with local
laws and regulations.
When operating the AC power supply facility, ensure compliance with local laws and
regulations.
Before connecting cables to the UPS, ensure that the input power and mains power
distribution switches and output power distribution switch are turned off.
Use only dedicated tools during high voltage and AC operations.
If the operation is performed in a damp environment, ensure that the device is dry. When
water is found in the rack or the rack is damp, switch off the power supply immediately.
High Leakage Current
Ground a device before powering it on. Otherwise, personal injury or device damage may
occur.
If a "high leakage current" tag is attached to the panel of the device, ground the protective
ground terminal on the device enclosure before connecting the AC power supply to
prevent electric shocks.
The UPS can generate high leakage currents. Using a circuit breaker that has the leakage
current protection function is not recommended.
Power Cable
Do not install or remove power cables when the device is on. Transient contact between the
core of the power cable and the conductor may generate electric arcs or sparks, which may
cause fire or damage eyesight.
Before moving or reconnecting the UPS, disconnect the mains and batteries, open the
output power distribution switch, and wait a period of at least 5 minutes after the UPS
completely powers off. Otherwise, electric shocks may occur.
Before installing or removing the power cable, open the power switch.

Backfeed Protection Dry Contact
The UPS can be configured with a backfeed protection dry contact to work with an external
automatic circuit breaker, preventing the voltage from flowing back to input terminals over
static bypass circuits. If device installation and maintenance personnel do not need to use
backfeed protection, paste labels on the external bypass input circuit breakers informing that
the circuit is connected to the UPS. Disconnect the device from the UPS before performing
operations on the circuit.
Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity generated by human bodies may damage the electrostatic-sensitive
components on boards, for example, the large-scale integrated (LSI) circuits.
Wear a pair of ESD gloves or a well-grounded ESD wrist strap when touching the device
or handling boards or application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs).
When holding a board, hold its edge without touching any components, especially chips.
Package boards with ESD packaging materials before storing or transporting them.

To ensure battery safety and efficient battery management, use the batteries delivered with
the UPS. Huawei shall not be responsible for battery damage caused by using non-Huawei
batteries for Huawei UPSs.
Ensure lead-acid battery handling is in accordance with local regulations.
Incorrect handling of batteries may cause hazards. When operating batteries, avoid
battery short circuits and electrolyte overflow or leakage.
Electrolyte overflow may damage the device by corroding metal parts and circuit boards,
and ultimately damaging the circuit boards.
Short circuits caused by incorrect operations may cause serious injuries due to high
power of batteries.
Do not reversely connect positive and negative battery terminals.
Use batteries of the specified type. Otherwise, the batteries may be damaged.
Check battery connections periodically to ensure that all screws are securely tightened.
Install or store batteries in clean, cool, and dry environments.
Do not decompose, transform, or damage batteries. Otherwise, battery short circuit,
electrolyte leakage, and even personal injury may occur.
Preventative Measures
When installing and maintaining batteries, pay attention to the following points:
Use dedicated insulated tools.
Take measures to protect eyes, such as using eye protection devices.
Avoid skin contact with electrolyte overflow. Wear rubber gloves and protective
clothing.
When handling a battery, ensure that its electrodes always point upward. Do not tilt or
overturn batteries.
Switch off the power supply during installation and maintenance.
Short Circuit
Battery short circuits may cause personal injury. The high transient current generated by a
short circuit may release a surge of power and cause a fire.
To avoid battery short circuits, do not maintain batteries while they are in use.

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.

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
