Generally, PCU is used together with RCU. If RCU does not finish installing at site, please

prepare for tools according to RCU installment manual.

The battery of PCU is provided only by manufacturer appointed by Huawei Agisson, if any

requirement of replacing a battery, please contact our technical support for help.

If a PC software named as PCU PC-Tool is necessary, which supports some function that

PCU cannot support, such as send configuration files to RCU, download a new firmware to

RCU or switch the protocol version of RCU, please make sure PCU PC-Tool has been

installed on your PC.

PCU PC-Tool can be obtained at http://support.huawei.com/support/.

2. Please charge and discharge at least every 1~2 month even if no use for a long time.

3. Please preserve the AC/DC adapter packed together with PCU carefully, and charge

PCU only by this specifically adapter.

4. Please check the battery power and charge it if PCU will be used in a condition without

external power supply.

5. Do not use or leave PCU near the hot heat source such as fire or heaters, it is easy to

cause the battery to overheat, be short or loss its function, and shorten its life.

6. Do not use PCU in a location where static electricity or magnetic field is great, otherwise

the safety devices of battery may be damaged to bring security risks.

7. If the battery gives off an odor, overheat, becomes discolored or deformed, or in any way

appears abnormal during use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it from PCU

and stop use it.

Be aware of that discharged batteries may cause fire, tape the terminals to insulate them.

8. If it is less than 1 hours to charge full, or less than 0.5 hours to warn low power, please

remove this battery as it may loss its function.

LCD Display

The LCD display of PCU may be abnormal if improper use.

1. Do not exposure the LCD display to direct sunlight or ultraviolet light for a long time.

2. Avoid being extruded, stricken, hit or scratched by sharp objects.

3. Do not use PCU in a location of high temperature or great static magnetic field.

PCU




24

Appearance Shell

The shell is made of ABS, easy to be damaged or scratched if improper use.

1. Do not drop, throw or hit during carrying or operating.

2. Do not use PCU outdoor during a light storm.

3. Please pack PCU well if need to use it at the top of a tower or site, such as fix PCU by its

strap hole or carry it by bag.

4. Cover the AISG connector and USB connector with their protective lids to prevent

external objects into the PCU.

4.2 RCU Troubleshooting

If PCU is used as a RCU controller, RCU alarm status is available by alarm acquirement

function of PCU. More information about return code is available in appendix “A.2 return

code and alarm code”.

If PCU is used as a USB/AISG adapter, more information about RCU alarm status is available

by manual of PC software (PCU PC-Tool). Please contact Huawei Agisson technical support

for more detail.

Once find RCU alarms or fault, please refer to “Huawei Agisson RCU Troubleshooting”,

which can be obtained at http://support.huawei.com/support/.

4.3 PCU Troubleshooting

Battery

1. If it is less than 1 hours to charge full, or less than 0.5 hours to warn low power, this

battery may loss its function, please remove it and use a new one.

2. If the battery indicator is static during charging, the battery may fail to charge, please

remove it and use a new one.

3. Switch on and charge PCU, but red light (Power) is still off and no display on LCD, no

output power at AISG connector, the battery or power supply module is fault. Please

inspect inside after teardown and change a new battery if need.
