- Verify accurately during Commissioning and Maintenance of the UPS, for the following:
Damaged components, squeezed wires and cables, or not correctly inserted plugs.
- After removing the sidewalls of the UPS, make sure that all earth connections when reassembling, are
correctly reattached.
- This UPS is intended for use in a controlled indoor environment free of conductive contaminants and
protected against animals intrusion.
- WARNING! HIGH EARTH LEAKAGE CURRENT:
Earth connection is essential before connecting to AC input!
- Switching OFF the unit does not isolate the UPS from the utility.
- Do not install the UPS in an excessively humid environment or near water.
- Avoid spilling liquids on or dropping any foreign object into the UPS.
- The unit must be placed in a sufficiently ventilated area; the ambient temperature should not exceed 104°F
(40°C).
- Optimal battery life is obtained if the ambient temperature does not exceed 77°F (25°C).
- It is important that air can move freely around and through the unit. Do not block the air vents.
- Avoid locations in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
STORAGE
-Store the UPS in a dry location; storage temperature must be within -13°F (-25°C) to 131°F (55°C).
-The optimal temperature for Battery storage is 68°F (20°C) to 77°F (25°C) and shall never exceed the range -
4°F (-20°C) to 104°F (40°C).
- If the unit is stored for a period exceeding 3 months, the battery must be recharged periodically (time
depending on storage temperature).
BATTERY
- The battery-voltage is dangerous for person’s safety.
- When replacing the battery, use the same cells number, voltage (V), capacity (Ah).
All the battery used, shall be of the same manufacturer and date of production.
- Proper disposal or recycling of the battery is required.
Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements.
- Never dispose of battery in a fire: they may explode.

Safety instructions when working with battery
EXTERNAL BATTERY MUST BE INSTALLED AND CONNECTED TO THE UPS BY
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
INSTALLATION PERSONNEL MUST READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION BEFORE HANDLING
THE UPS AND BATTERY.
DANGER!
Full voltage and current are always present at the battery terminals.
The battery used in this system can provide dangerous voltages, extremely high currents and a risk
of electric shock.
If the terminals are shorted together or to ground they may cause severe injury.
You must be extremely careful to avoid electric shock and burns caused by contacting battery
terminals or shorting terminals during battery installation.
Do not touch uninsulated battery terminals.
A qualified service person, who is familiar with battery systems and required precautions, must
install and service the battery.
The installation must conform to national and local codes.
Keep unauthorized personnel away from the battery.
The qualified service person must take these precautions:
1Wear protective clothing, such as rubber gloves and boots and protective eye wear.
Batteries contain caustic acids and toxic materials and can rupture or leak if mistreated.
Remove rings and metal wristwatches or other metal objects and jewellery.
Do not carry metal objects in your pockets where the objects can fall into the battery cabinet.
High energy through conductive materials could cause severe burns.
2Tools must have insulated handles and must be insulated so that they will not short battery
terminals.
Do not allow a tool to short between individual or separate battery terminals or to the cabinet
or rack.
Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the battery, and do not lay them where they could fall
onto the battery or into the cabinet.
3Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
Install the battery as shown on the drawing provided with the battery.
When connecting cables, never allow a cable to short across a battery’s terminals, the string of
battery, or to the cabinet or rack.
4Align the cables on the battery terminals so that the cable lug will not contact any part of the
cabinet or rack, even if the battery is moved.
Keep the cable away from any sharp metal edges.
5Install the battery cables in such a way that the UPS or battery cabinet doors cannot pinch them.
6Do not connect the battery terminal to Ground.
If any battery terminal is inadvertently grounded, remove the source of the ground.
Contacting any part of a grounded battery can cause a risk of electric shock.
7Determine if battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove source from
ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock.
The likelihood of such shock can be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and
maintenance.
8To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install the battery in a temperature and humidity
controlled indoor area, free of contaminants.
9Battery system chassis ground (earth) must be connected to the UPS chassis ground (earth).
If you use conduits, this ground conductor must be routed in the same conduit as the battery
conductors.
10 Where conductors may be exposed to physical damage, protect the conductors in accordance
with all applicable codes.
11 If you are replacing the battery or repairing battery connections, shut OFF the UPS and remove
the battery fuses.

4.2 DELIVERY
When delivered, inspect the package integrity and the physical condition of the cabinets carefully.
In case of any damage sustained during transport, immediately inform the carrier and contact your
local Service Center.
A detailed report of the damage is necessary for any insurance claim.
NOTE !
A damaged UPS must never be installed or connected to Utility or Battery!
4.3 STORAGE
4.3.1 Storage of the UPS
The equipment is carefully packed for transport and
storage so that it is in a perfect condition when eventually
installed.
Never leave an UPS
outside the building and do not store
the UPS one on top of the other.
We recommend to store the UPS in its original package in
adry, dust-
free room, away from chemical substances,
and with a temperature range not exceeding -13°F (-25°C)
to 131°F (55°C).
In case the battery is included please refer to Section 4.3.2.
Some important functions of the UPS, such as the customized functions, are defined by parameters
stored in a RAM memory.
A small backup Battery located on the Control Unit board supplies the RAM.
If the storage time of the UPS exceeds 1 year, these functions should be verified by an authorized
Service Center before putting the UPS into operation.
4.3.2 Storage of Battery
When the delivery includes a maintenance free Battery, keep in mind that they are subject to self-
discharge and therefore you must recharge the Battery.
The storage time without Battery recharge depends on the temperature of the storage site.
The optimal temperature for Battery storage is 68°F (20°C) to 77°F (25°C) and shall never exceed the
range -4°F (-20°C) to 104°F (40°C).
Recharge stored maintenance free Battery every:
6 months when the storage temperature is 68°F (20°C)
3 months when the storage temperature is 86°F (30°C)
2 months when the storage temperature is 95°F (35°C)

PERSONNEL only.
If optional cabinets and accessories are included with the UPS, please refer to those
accompanying manuals for installation and operating instructions.
It is important to have a clean, dust-free environment provided with proper ventilation and air-
conditioning to keep the ambient temperature within the specified operating range.
The recommended air inlet temperature is from 68°F (20°C) to 77°F (25°C) (max. 104°F / 40°C).
Refer to Section 4.5.
Check for sufficient floor load capacity before installing the UPS and the Battery.
Refer to Section 4.1.1.
For Battery installation follow the local codes and the recommendation of the battery supplier.
NOTE !
Temperature is very important for valve-regulated batteries (maintenance free).
Operation at temperatures higher than 77°F (25°C) will reduce battery life.
The TLE Scalable Series 40 - 150UPS can radiate radio frequency energy.
Although some RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) filtering is inherent to the UPS there is no guarantee that
the UPS will not influence sensitive devices such as cameras and monitors that are positioned close by.
If interference is expected, the UPS should be moved away from the sensitive equipment.
Positioning of the UPS TLE Scalable Series 40 - 150
Fig. 4.4.1-1 TLE Scalable Series 40 - 150 – Positioning of the UPS
Clearance around the front of the unit
should be sufficient to enable free passage
of personnel with the doors fully open, and
to allow sufficient airflow to the door vents.

(marked on the
packing).
If the units are positioned “
side by
side
”, the side panels must be
mounted on all units.
4.4.2 Battery location
Batteries require a well-ventilated room with controlled temperature to obtain reliable operation.
The Battery can be installed immediately adjacent to the UPS (left or right side) or remotely from the
UPS.
If the Battery is installed remotely from the UPS, a wall mounted DC disconnect device must be installed
within line-of-site to both the UPS and the Battery.
The optimal room temperature for Battery storage is 68°F (20°C) to 77°F (25°C) and shall never exceed
the range -4°F (-20°C) to 104°F (40°C).
The life of valve-regulated batteries will be reduced by 50% for each additional 18°F (10°C) that the
battery ambient temperature is above 77°F (25°C).
The Battery System associated with larger UPS is usually either rack mounted or installed in multiple
Battery Cabinets.
Installation and assembly must be made according to the local standards and Battery System
manufacturer‘s recommendations.
The Battery Circuit Breaker or Battery Fuse Box must be mounted as near as possible to the Battery.
WARNING !
Battery installation and connection must be performed by QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
ONLY.
Read all safety instructions before proceeding with the installation (see Section 1).
Battery discharging and/or charging activities may cause the emission of
hydrogen gas; therefore, the room requires proper ventilation and fresh air.
Comply with the UL1778-CSAC22.2no170.3 UPS safety standard, ANSI/IEEE P1184
Guide for Batteries for Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems and applicable codes
and governmental regulations.

4.5 VENTILATION AND COOLING
Fig. 4.5-1 Installation on plain floor Fig. 4.5-2 Installation on raised floor
The heat produced by the UPS is transferred to the environment by its ventilation.
A suitable ventilation or cooling system must be installed to extract the heat from the UPS room.
NOTE !
Do not put anything on the top of the cabinet.
20” (500mm) of air clearance MUST BE LEFT from the top of the UPS for a sufficient
exhausted air exchange, proper cooling, service access and safety.
Air filtering systems could be required when the UPS operates in a dirty environment.
In order to prevent overheating of the UPS, the available air intake flow rate must exceed the total air
exhaust flow rate requirement of the UPS system.
Contact your Dealer or the nearest Service Center for appropriate solutions.
