• Possible to monitor remotely with the Ericsson Site Controller (ESC)

• Adjusts the stage of charging and discharging automatically

• Suitable for 19-inch standard racks

• Natural air-cooling with low noise

2.2 BMS Functions

When the battery unit is powered on, the BMS monitors the system conditions
in real-time. The following is monitored:

• Cell voltage

• Battery pack voltage

2 38/1551-LZA 701 6011/3 Uen E | 2017-12-08

 Product Overview

The BMS also controls solid state relays to protect the system from over-
charging, over-discharging, over-current, over-temperature, and other fault
operations.

2.3 Warranty Seal

The unit is equipped with a warranty seal sticker.

Note: Seals implemented by Ericsson must not be broken or removed, as it

otherwise voids warranty.

 Technical Data

3.2 Installation Recommendations

The battery unit can be installed in a 19-inch standard rack, suitable for the
battery unit weight.

Mounting screws, 4 × M6, are not included in the accessory kit and must be
ordered separately.

3.3 Space Requirements

The battery units require no space between each other when installed in a
multiple configuration.

3.4 Environmental Characteristics

The battery unit environment must be clean, dry, and ventilated, with no
conductive dust or corrosive gas. The environmental requirements are shown
in Table 2.

Table 2 Environmental Requirements

Parameter Value Comment
Operating environment +5 to +50ºC Recommended
temperature temperature 25ºC.
Storage temperature -20 to +50ºC Recommended
temperature 25ºC.
Relative humidity 0–95% No condensation.
Altitude ≤ 3000 m On higher altitudes the
power use must be
reduced.

3.5 Indoor Equipment

The operating environment for indoor equipment must be a temperature-
controlled enclosed location suitable for sensitive data and telecommunication
equipment, with very low levels of airborne particles.

The operating environment must comply with the following standards:

• IEC 60721-3-3 classes 3K3/3Z2/3Z4/3B1/3C2(3C1)/3S2/3M2, and

• ETSI EN 300 019-1-3 Class 3.1 except for the main unit operation
temperature.

An appropriate installation location must have an adequate air conditioning

system that provides the installation locations with the following:

38/1551-LZA 701 6011/3 Uen E | 2017-12-08 5

 Battery Unit Description

• Controlled level of particles in the air, according to Table 3.

• Controlled air temperature, according to information found in the

Description documents of the respective products.

• Controlled air humidity, according to information found in the Description

documents of the respective products.

Particles Maximum Value Unit
Salt Mist 0 cm3/m3
Sand 30 mg/m3
Dust (Suspension) 0.5 mg/m3
Dust (Sedimentation) 1.5 mg/m2h

3.5.1 Operating Environment

This section describes operating environment parameters for equipment
operation.

There are three operating environments for the equipment: normal,

exceptional, and non-destructive.

• Normal: Under normal conditions, all units function as specified.

• Exceptional: Under an exceptional environmental stress outside of normal

operating limits, all units continue to function but with reduced
performance or capacity. When conditions return to normal, the systems
resume "Normal operation" status.

• Non-destructive: Under a non-destructive environmental stress beyond

exceptional limits, no equipment function is guaranteed, and performance
may degrade in an unspecified manner. However, the equipment still
fulfills legal requirements and does not become hazardous to people.
When conditions return to normal, no on-site intervention is needed to
restore full performance.

For information about the operating environment for the equipment, refer to
the Description documents of the respective products.

3.6 Discharging Mode

The maximum discharging capacity differs significantly at different
temperatures.

6 38/1551-LZA 701 6011/3 Uen E | 2017-12-08

 Technical Data

To protect the safety and life of the battery unit, the BMS monitors the state of
discharging in real time. When the continuous discharging current exceeds the
maximum value, the BMS automatically disconnects the discharging circuit.

Keep the battery unit away from water and condensation. Liquid entering the
battery unit can cause short circuits, electricity leakage, and connector
corrosion. Moist air entering the battery unit must be avoided. If the battery
unit is exposed to water or condensation, it must be considered faulty and is
not to be used.
