If the battery temperature is higher than 60°C, check the battery for electrolyte
overflow. If the electrolyte overflows, handle the leakage immediately.
Electrolyte overflow may damage the equipment. It will corrode metal parts and
boards, and ultimately damage the boards.
WARNING
When the electrolyte overflows, absorb and neutralize the electrolyte immediately.
When moving or handling a battery whose electrolyte leaks, note that the leaking
electrolyte may cause damage.
If the electrolyte overflows, follow the instructions of the battery manufacturer or

neutralize the electrolyte by using sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) or sodium
carbonate (Na2CO3).
Lithium Battery
The safety precautions for lithium batteries are similar to those for lead-acid
batteries except that you also need to observe the following precautions.
WARNING
There is a risk of explosion if the model of the replaced battery is incorrect.
● A battery can be replaced only with a battery of the same or similar model
recommended by the manufacturer.
● When handling a lithium battery, do not place it upside down, tilt it, or bump
it with other objects.

Solution)
● Keep the lithium battery loop disconnected during installation and

maintenance.
● When the ambient temperature is lower than the lower limit of the operating
temperature (charge is forbidden at 0°C), do not charge the lithium battery.
Otherwise, a short circuit would occur inside the battery.
● Do not throw a lithium battery in fire.
● When maintenance is complete, return the waste lithium battery to the
maintenance office.

2.5 Cable Routing Requirements

Lay out cables according to the following requirements to avoid signal
interference.
NOTE
If some of the cables described below do not need to be installed onsite, ignore the
requirements for routing such cables.
General Cable Routing Requirements

Bending Radius Requirements
The bending radius of a power, ground, or signal cable should be greater than or
equal to five times its diameter.
Cable Binding Requirements
● Cables of the same type should be bound together.

● Cables of different types must keep a minimum distance of 30 mm from each
other. Cables must not be tangled or twisted.

Solution)
● Route and bind cables so that they appear neat and tidy and their cable
sheaths are intact.
● Cable ties should be bound neatly in the same direction. Cable ties at the
same horizontal line must be in a straight line.
● The extra part of each indoor cable tie must be cut off. A slack of 5 mm is
reserved for each outdoor cable tie. All cut surfaces have no sharp edges.
● After cables are installed, labels or nameplates must be attached to both
ends, joints, or turns of the cables.
Safety Requirements
● Cables should be placed away from sharp objects or wall burrs. If inevitable,
protect the cables with bushings.
● Cables should be routed away from heat sources, or heat-insulation materials
should be added between cables and heat sources.
● Sufficient slack (about 0.1 m recommended) should be provided in cables at
turns or the position close to a device, facilitating cable and device
maintenance.
Indoor Cable Routing Requirements
● Cables are routed indoors through feeder windows.

● Trap the cable part outside a feeder window according to requirements for the
minimum bending radius.
● When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in
the room.
● Feeder windows must be waterproofed.
Outdoors Cable Routing Requirements

● Outdoor cables must be routed through a pipe to protect them from being
damaged.
● AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables buried in the ground must
be protected.
● If cables at the cabinet bottom need to be routed through a pipe along the
ground, the pipe should be routed into the cabinet base for about 30 mm to
50 mm, but not into the cabinet. The pipe end should be sealed with
waterproof tape or silicon gel, and the pipe should be secured to the cable
hole at the cabinet bottom using sheet metal.
● If cables at the cabinet bottom need to be routed through a pipe along a
metal cable trough, the pipe should not be routed into the cabinet base. The
cable trough should be sealed and routed through the cable hole at the
cabinet bottom.
● Arrange the cables in order in the routing direction, and install cable clips.
Special Cable Routing Requirements

Power Cable Routing Requirements
● The positions for routing power cables should be in accordance with the
design drawing.

Solution)
● If the cable length is insufficient, use another power cable of sufficient length.
No joint or weld is allowed on a power cable.
● Cables must be routed by only qualified and trained personnel after all
preparations are made.
● Optical cables must be straightly routed and not twisted or winded.
Ground Cable Routing Requirements
● Ground cables in a base station should be connected to the same ground bar.
● Ground cables must not be routed in from the overhead. They must be routed
underground or indoors.
● Both ends of the external conductor of a coaxial cable and the shield layer of
a shielded cable should have good electrical contact with the metal shell of
the device they connect to.
● Ground cables and signal cables should be bound separately with a proper
distance in between to avoid interference.
● Switches or fuses must not be installed on ground cables.
● No devices can be used as a part of ground cables.
● All conductive metal components inside the enclosure should properly
connect to protection ground terminals.
