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.
Before connecting a power cable, check that its label is correct.
If a fuse needs replacing, ensure the new fuse is of the same type and specifications so that the
system runs safely.
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.

environment where the temperature and humidity are not controllable, such as a simple
equipment room near the ocean, citizen house, garage, corridor, direct ventilation cabinet,
house with only the roof, railway station platform, gymnasium, aquarium, and so on.
1.4 Battery Safety
This section describes precautions for operating batteries.
Before operating batteries, carefully read the safety precautions to ensure correct battery
handling and connection is performed, and personal safety is managed.
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.
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.
Figure 1-2 Tilting angle of a cabinet
Handling Fans
Do not insert fingers or boards into the operating fans until the fans are switched off, and have
stopped running.
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
The UPS5000-A is an online double-conversion UPS that uses digital signal processing (DSP)
technology and features high efficiency and high power density. Figure 2-2 shows a
conceptual diagram for the UPS.
When the UPS works in normal mode, the rectifier converts the AC input voltage into the DC
voltage, which is then raised to the bus voltage by the power factor correction (PFC) circuit.
Then one part of the voltage passes through the DC-DC circuit to charge the battery string,
and the other part is converted by the inverter into AC voltage outputs. The two conversions
ensure high-precision and high-quality output voltages, protecting loads from interferences
such as input harmonics, burrs, and voltage transients. Figure 2-3 shows the conceptual
diagram of the UPS working in normal mode.
If the inverter does not start or is manually shut down after the UPS is powered on, the bypass
supplies power to loads. The UPS automatically transfers from normal mode to bypass mode
if it detects power unit overtemperature, overload, or other faults that may cause the inverter
to shut down. The bypass power supply is not protected by the UPS which means it may be
affected by mains outage, and incorrect AC voltage or frequency. Figure 2-4 shows a
conceptual diagram of the UPS working in bypass mode.
Figure 2-4 UPS conceptual diagram in bypass mode
2.2.2.3 Battery Mode
If the AC input voltage is not normal, the UPS transfers to battery mode to obtain power from
batteries. The inverter then converts the power into AC outputs. Figure 2-5 shows a
conceptual diagram of the UPS working in battery mode.
The current flows through the maintenance bypass, instead of the power unit or bypass unit.
UPS maintenance can be performed in this mode.
Figure 2-6 UPS conceptual diagram in maintenance bypass mode
2.2.2.5 ECO Mode
The economy control operation (ECO) mode is an energy-saving mode, which you can
configure on the liquid crystal display (LCD) or web user interface (WebUI). In ECO mode,
when the bypass input voltage is within the ECO voltage range, the bypass combined switch
turns on, and the bypass supplies power. When the bypass input voltage is beyond the ECO
voltage range, the UPS transfers from bypass mode to normal mode. In bypass mode or
normal mode, the rectifier keeps working and charges batteries using a charger. The ECO
mode delivers a higher efficiency. Figure 2-7 shows a conceptual diagram of the UPS working
in ECO mode.

Description
UPS5000-A-80 kVA functional components have the same functions as UPS5000-A-30 kVA/40 kVA
functional components. For details, see section 2.3.2.1 30 kVA/40 kVA UPS.
Connect the BMU by using a 04080298 transfer cable, which is delivered with the BMU.
When no ambient temperature and humidity sensor is installed, connect the BMU to the COM1 port
on the UPS.
When an ambient temperature and humidity sensor is installed, connect the BMU to the
RS485_OUT port on the sensor.
2.3.3 Control Port
The UPS5000-A provides a communications slot, a fast Ethernet (FE) port, an RS485 port,
parallel ports, a BSC port, basic dry contacts, and other control signal ports.
Parallel Port and BSC Port
To connect UPSs in parallel, use a parallel cable to connect the parallel ports on the ECMs on
the two UPSs. A hot swappable BSC is used in a dual-bus system to process the
communication information of two UPS systems. Table 2-2 describes the functions of the
parallel port and BSC port.
Table 2-2 Functions of the parallel port and BSC port
The PARALLEL port transmits parallel signals. To connect multiple UPSs
in parallel, use parallel cables to connect the parallel ports on the UPSs. N
UPSs require N parallel cables so that two parallel cables are connected to
each UPS, which improves parallel connection reliability.
BSC
This port is used in a dual-bus system to balance output frequencies and
phases between UPS systems, ensuring that two buses can switch with
each other. The BSC port processes UPS system communications
information.

If cables are prepared onsite, follow the three methods below:
Connect pin 1 and pin 2. Pin 1 connects to RS485+ and pin 2 connects to RS485–.
Connect pin 4 and pin 5. Pin 4 connects to RS485+ and pin 5 connects to RS485–.
Connect pins 1, 2, 4, and 5. Twist cables to pin 1 and pin 4 into one cable and then connect it to
RS485+. Twist cables to pin 2 and pin 5 into one cable and then connect it to RS485–.
Supplies power to important loads in small- and medium-sized data
centers. It features high availability and strong transient overload
capability.
Dual-bus system
The dual-bus system is suitable for scenarios where high availability
requirements are posed for power supply. The dual-bus system
supplies power to important loads in large- and medium-sized
equipment rooms and data centers.
In addition to common parallel system advantages, the dual-bus
system also provides outstanding availability and eliminates
bottleneck failures. However, configuration of the dual-bus system is
complex.
A 1+1 parallel system is a typical configuration. You can set the number of requisite UPSs and
redundant ones on the LCD or WebUI.
2.4.1 Single UPS
The UPS5000-A is a high frequency tower-mounted UPS. It uses a unit-level design to handle
power functionality, and provides an embedded maintenance bypass switch to ensure
maintenance with power on. Figure 2-2 shows the conceptual diagram of a single UPS.
2.4.2 Parallel System
In a parallel system, the mains input, bypass input, and AC output terminals between cabinets
are connected in parallel. Energy control modules (ECMs) on each UPS are connected over
parallel cables. The parallel connections synchronize the UPS outputs to supply power to
loads. If one UPS fails, the other UPSs continue supplying power to loads.
Figure 2-16 Conceptual diagram of an N+X parallel system
2.4.3 Dual-Bus System
A dual-bus system consists of two independent UPS systems. Each of these UPS systems in
turn consists of one or more UPSs connected in parallel. Of the two UPS systems, one is a
master system, and the other is a slave system. This design makes the dual-bus system highly
reliable and suitable for loads with multiple input terminals. An optional static transfer switch
(STS) can be installed to start the bus synchronization controller (BSC). The UPS systems
work in normal mode or bypass mode.

Installation Environment
Do not install the UPS in high temperature, low temperature, and damp areas. For details
about environmental specifications.
Install the UPS far away from water sources, heat sources, and inflammable or explosive
materials. Keep the UPS free from direct sunlight, dust, volatile gases, corrosive
materials, and salty air.
Do not install the UPS in environments with conductive metal scraps in the air.
The optimal operating temperatures for valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries are
20–30°C. Operating temperatures higher than 30°C shorten the battery lifespan, and
operating temperatures lower than 20°C reduce the battery backup time.
Installation Clearances
Reserve sufficient clearances around the cabinet for operations and ventilation:
Reserve a clearance of at least 800 mm on the front of the cabinet.
Reserve a clearance of at least 300 mm on the top of the cabinet.
Keep a clearance of at least 300 mm at the rear of the cabinet. If you need to perform
operations at the rear of the cabinet, keep a clearance of at least 800 mm.

When the mains input and bypass input share a power source, configure input power cables as mains
input power cables. The cables listed in Table 3-2 are used only when the following requirements are
met:
The cables are installed along the wall or on the floor (IEC-60364-5-52 C standards).
The ambient temperature is 30ºC.
The AC voltage loss is less than 3%, and the DC voltage loss is less than 1%. The recommended
cable diameters in Table 3-2 meet the basic through-current requirements. Users should evaluate the
line voltage loss based on the actual cable length. If the voltage loss exceeds the requirements,
increase the cable diameter properly.
90°C copper cables are used.
If external conditions such as cable layout or ambient temperatures change, perform verification in
accordance with the IEC-60364-5-52 or local regulations.
When selecting, connecting, and routing power cables, follow local safety regulations and rules.
