Save these instructions!

This manual contains important instructions for models TLE Scalable Series 40 to 150 that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS and Battery.

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 your ABB Service Center 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 Utility.

- 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 Utility 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.

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 LEAKAGE CURRENT TO GROUND :

Ground 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 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.

- In case of air shipment, the cables +/- going to the Battery fuses/terminals shall be disconnected and isolated.

Safety instructions when working with Battery

TLE Scalable Series 40 to 150 UL S1 UPS User Manual / REV-B

Danger!

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.

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:

1 Wear protective clothing, such as rubber gloves and boots and protective eye wear.

Battery 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.

2 Tools 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.

3 Disconnect 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.

4 Align 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.

5 Install the Battery cables in such a way that the UPS or Battery cabinet doors cannot pinch them.

6 Do 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.

7 Determine 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.

8 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install the Battery in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area, free of contaminants.

9 Battery 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.
