1SAFETY RULES
Save these instructions!
GENERAL
- Move the UPS in an upright position in its original package to the final destination room.
To lift the cabinets, use a forklift or lifting belts with spreader bars.
- Check for sufficient floor and elevator loading capacity.
- Check the integrity of the UPS equipment carefully.
If you notice visible damage, do not install or start the UPS.
Contact the nearest Service Centre immediately.
- WARNING! RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK:
Do not remove covers, there are no user serviceable parts inside.
- After switching off takes 5 minutes for the DC capacitors to discharge because a lethally high voltage
remains at the terminals of the electrolytic capacitors.
- UPS’s and battery system require a 12 months periodic maintenance to operate reliably and safely.
This should be performed by qualified service personnel.
The UPS contains its own energy source (battery).
- The field-wiring outlets may be electrically live, even when the UPS is disconnected from the mains.
- Dangerous voltages may be present during battery operation.
- The battery must be disconnected during maintenance or service work.
- This UPS contains potentially hazardous voltages.
- Be aware that the inverter can restart automatically after the mains voltage is restored.
- End user must follow applicable regional occupational safety codes/regulations during installation,
operation and equipment maintenance. This may require additional field marking or labelling defining
appropriate level of PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) to reduce the risk of Arc-flash related injuries.
Contact our Technical Support for product specific information.
INSTALLATION
- This UPS must be installed and connected only by trained personnel.
- 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 mains.
- 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 40°C
(104°F).
- Optimal battery life is obtained if the ambient temperature does not exceed 25C (77°F).
- 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 -25°C (-13°F) to +55C (131°F).
- The optimal temperature for Battery storage is 20°C (68°F) to 25°C (77°F) and shall never exceed the range -
20°C (-4°F) to 40°C (104°F).
- 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 number, voltage (V) and capacity (Ah).
- 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.
- Do not open or mutilate battery: their contents (electrolyte) may be extremely toxic.
If exposed to electrolyte, wash immediately with plenty of water.
- Avoid charging in a sealed container.
- Never short-circuit the batteries.
When working with batteries, remove watches, rings or other metal objects, and only use insulated tools.

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 unauthorised 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.

3INTRODUCTION
The TLE Series 600 & 800 Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) provides the energy supply for critical
loads which need a reliable, continuous free from voltage disturbances and frequency fluctuations
supply.
In case the power provided by the Mains Fails, or exceeds the permitted tolerances, the power to supply
the Load is provided by the Battery for the specified time at the rated Load (or longer at a reduced Load)
or until the Mains power returns.
TLE Series 600 & 800 is a truly VFI double conversion Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS), equipped with automatic bypass, where the load is normally supplied by the
inverter.
TLE Series 600 & 800 can be configured, if chosen, for the eBoost™ Operation Mode
(Option - High efficiency: up to 99% / Fast power transfer: <2ms) permitting
maximum energy saving.
If the Inverter is not able to supply the required Output Voltage, or when overload or
short-circuit on the output occur, the Load is instantly transferred to the Mains via
the Automatic Bypass.
The UPS automatically returns to normal mode when the failure condition is
restored.
KEY FEATURES:
More Critical equipment supported
Rated at 1 Power Factor, TLE Series 600 & 800 delivers more real power than other UPS in the market.
With today’s trend toward power factor corrected loads, TLE Series 600 & 800 can support more total
Load than any other UPS available, allowing you to support a greater number of today’s enterprise
computing Power Factor Corrected (PFC) equipment.
High Efficiency
Thanks to type Advanced Neutral Point Clamped three level IGBT technology, TLE Series 600 & 800
guarantees a high overall performance.
Intelligent Energy Management (IEM) combined with RPA, results in the most cost efficient and reliable
UPS solution in the industry.
Fully digital
Digital Signal Processor (DSP), Flash memory and Advanced Neutral Point Clamped are the technology
corner stones of a new age of power quality and power reliability.
RPA™ - Redundant Parallel Architecture™ Parallel System
GE’s Critical Power provides a unique technology called Redundant Parallel Architecture™ (RPA™) that
can parallel Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) modules with true redundancy.
With RPA™, there is no need for external electronics or switches to control the UPS modules in the
parallel system.
One of the UPS modules in the system arbitrarily takes a leadership role, while the other UPS modules
have access to all control parameters.
If one UPS fails to operate, the load is automatically redistributed among the others.
If the lead UPS fails to operate then a different UPS automatically takes on the leadership role.
The RPA™ systems are designed to have no single points of failure, ensuring the highest level of power
protection for critical loads.
Extremely flexible
Tailor made power protection to meet your individual installation requirements; TLE Series 600 & 800
offers various options like EMC filter and our comprehensive software for mission control and data
protection to cover all your application needs.

4.1 BLOCK DIAGRAM AND MAIN ELEMENTS
Fig. 4.1-1 TLE Series 600 & 800 - Block Diagram
The TLE Series 600 & 800 system can be divided into the following main elements:
Control System
TLE Series 600 & 800 is designed with microprocessor-controlled signal processing circuits.
The interface between the operator and the unit is provided by the monitoring system on the front
panel.
This monitoring system consists of an active mimic diagram, a keyboard and a backlit display.
Rectifier
The Active IGBT Rectifier converts the 3-phase mains voltage into a controlled and regulated DC-voltage,
supplying the inverter and to charge the battery through the battery-charger.
Thanks to modulation strategy applied to IGBT bridge, the rectifier provides clean input power in terms
of low THDi and unity power factor.
Inverter
The Inverter converts the DC voltage into a three-phase AC-voltage with constant amplitude and
frequency, which is completely independent and isolated from the AC-input voltage.
Automatic Bypass
The Automatic Bypass consists of a static semiconductor-switch (SSM: Static Switch Module), used to
provide an uninterrupted transfer of the Load from Inverter to Mains.
Back-feed Protection
All TLE Series 600 & 800 UPS's are equipped with an automatic system for the protection against voltage
back feeding towards Mains, through the Bypass (Applied Standard IEC 62040-1).
This protection works automatically by opening contactor K6 (in series with the thyristors of the static
switch) and eventually K7, and acts in case of internal defects of the system.
Battery
The Battery supplies the DC power to the Inverter when the Mains is out of acceptable tolerances.

4.2 OPERATION MODES
4.2.1 Normal VFI Operation Mode (Voltage Frequency Independent)
Under normal conditions the Load is
permanently powered by the inverter with
constant amplitude and frequency.
The Rectifier, powered by the Mains, supplies
the inverter and the battery-charger keeps the
battery fully charged.
The inverter converts the DC voltage in a new
AC sine wave voltage with constant amplitude
and frequency independently from the input
Mains Power.
Fig. 4.2.1-1 Block diagram normal VFI operation mode
4.2.2 eBoost™ Operation Mode (option)
eBoost™
eHigh efficiency (up to 99%)
Boost Fast power transfer (< 2ms)
When the eBoost™ Operation Mode is
selected, and the Mains Power is available,
the Load is normally powered through the
Automatic Bypass.
When the Mains Voltage is detected out of
the prescribed tolerances, the Load is
automatically transferred to the Inverter.
When the Mains recovers, the Load returns to
the Automatic Bypass after a variable time
defined by the control unit.
Fig. 4.2.2-1 Block diagram eBoost™ Operation Mode
The eBoost™ Operation Mode can be used for single units or the RPA Parallel System, for up to 6 UPS
modules, with all units individually able to supply power through a redundant communication bus.
The eBoost™ Operation Mode can be configured directly by the user for higher efficiency, considering
the Mains reliability and criticality of the Load.
The selection between the two operation modes “VFI mode and eBoost™ Operation Mode”, or switching
between operation modes at required time, can be done through the UPS control panel (see Section 7.4
/ eBoost).
NOTE !
The eBoost™ Operation Mode is available only if enabled at the factory or by a GE
GLOBAL SERVICES FIELD ENGINEER.

4.2.3 Mains Failure Operation
When the Mains is no longer within acceptable tolerances,
the Battery will provide the DC power to the Inverter.
The Inverter will maintain continuous AC power to the
Load until the Battery Voltage reaches the lower limit of
the Inverter operation capability.
During the discharge, the LCD screen shows the estimated
time the Battery can support the critical Load.
Prior to complete Battery discharge, the "stop operation"
alarm (shut-down imminent) warns the operator that the
Battery is almost discharged and the UPS is about to shut
down.
Fig. 4.2.3-1 Block diagram Mains Failure operation
In case of RPA Parallel System
With a Parallel System for power capacity (see Section 4.3)
With the Bypass Mains power available, a “Battery low” warning on any unit will cause the Load
to be transferred to Mains (after a selectable time delay).
With Bypass Mains power not available, a “Battery low” warning on any unit will start the “stop
operation” timer (adjustable).
The Load will shut down at the end of the “stop operation” time period.
With a Parallel System for redundancy (see Section 4.3)
When a Battery low warning occurs on a unit not necessary to support the present Load, this unit
will shut down after a timeout period (selectable).
The Load is shared between the other units.
As the warning occurs on one unit necessary to support the present Load, the system starts the
"stop operation" timeout (selectable).
The Load will shut down at the end of the “stop operation” time period.
4.2.4 Mains Recovery Operation
As soon as the AC input power recovers, the Rectifier will
start automatically, supplying DC power to the Inverter
and recharging the Battery.
If the Inverter was previously shut down due to low
Battery, the Load will be initially powered by Mains
through the Automatic Bypass.
When the Battery is sufficiently recharged to ensure a
minimum time of operation with the present Load, the
Inverter will start automatically and the Load will be
transferred back to the Inverter.
Fig. 4.2.4-1 Block diagram Mains recovery operation
In case of RPA Parallel System
When the AC input power recovers, the Rectifiers will start-up sequentially, according to their
number in the Parallel System. This minimizes the initial inrush current.
The Inverters will start-up automatically, but only when the Battery has been sufficiently recharged
for a minimum runtime with the present Load.
When enough Inverters to supply the Load have been restarted, the Load will be transferred from
the Automatic Bypass back to the Inverter output.

4.2.5 Automatic Bypass
In normal operation, the Load is supplied by
the Inverter.
When the control system detects a fault in
the Inverter, an overload condition or a short-
circuit condition, the Automatic Bypass will
transfer the critical Load to the Mains without
interruption.
Fig. 4.2.5-1 Block diagram Automatic Bypass
When the Inverter recovers, or the overload or short-circuit condition is corrected, the Load will be
automatically transferred back to the Inverter.
If the UPS is unable to return to normal mode following an automatic transfer to Bypass mode, an
alarm condition will be initiated.
In case of RPA Parallel System
Each unit has its own internal Bypass.
These units are continuously exchanging information, enabling all of the internal Bypass circuits in a
Parallel System to operate simultaneously.
If the Inverter of a unit fails, its Bypass circuit remains available to the Parallel System.
It is excluded only if the unit is separated from the common bus by opening its output switch Q1.

4.3 RPA PARALLEL SYSTEM OPERATION
4.3.1 Introduction to the RPA Parallel System
Fig. 4.3.1-1 Block diagram RPA Parallel System operation
Two or more equal power units can be paralleled to increase the output power (paralleling for capacity)
or to improve the overall reliability of an UPS system (paralleling for redundancy).
The outputs of parallel units are connected to a common power bus, and in normal operation the units
connected on the parallel bus share the Load equally.
The modular concept of TLE Series allows parallel operation of up to 6 units, without using paralleling
switchgear, external bypass circuits or common control circuitry (see Fig. 4.3.1-1).
Parallel units for power capacity
Several units can be paralleled in order to achieve output power greater than the maximum power of a
single unit.
The maximum total power shared between the paralleled units is equal to the total installed nominal
power.
In the event of a failure of one unit, the power supplied by the UPS system becomes insufficient and the
Load will be transferred to the Mains Bypass source.
Parallel units for redundancy
The nominal power rating of the n out of n+1 redundant paralleled modules must be equal to or higher
than the required Load power.
The Load will be equally shared by the n+1 units connected on the output bus.
Should one of the n+1 paralleled units trip Off-line, the remaining (n) modules will supply the Load,
maintaining conditioned power to the critical Load.
From this results higher reliability and security for the Load plus a higher MTBF (Mean Time Between
Failures).
