IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during the installation and maintenance of equipment and batteries. Please read all of the instructions before operating the equipment, and save this manual for future reference.

A licensed electrician MUST perform connections to the branch circuit of service feed. Installation of the power supply and batteries must be performed by, or under the direct supervision of service personnel knowledgeable of the required electrical and battery safety precautions.

If instructions in this manual conflict with local electrical codes, those instructions shall be superseded by the local code.

The following safety symbols will be found throughout this manual, carefully read all information and a bide by the instructions:

DANGEROUS VOLTAGE

This symbol indicates a dangerous voltage

exists in this area of the product.

GAS HAZARD

This symbol indicates a gas hazard

exists in the area of vented batteries.

NO MATCHES OR OPEN FLAMES

This symbol indicates a fire or explosive hazard

exists in the area of the product.

The following levels of warning will be used with the above symbols:

DANGER: You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY INJURED if instructions are not followed closely. WARNING: You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY INJURED if instructions are not followed closely. CAUTION: You CAN be INJURED or equipment can be DAMAGED if instructions are not followed closely.

Mechanical Safety

Keep hands and tools clear of fans. Fans are thermostatically controlled and will turn on automatically. Power supplies can reach extreme temperatures under load. Use caution around sheet metal components and sharp edges.

Electrical Safety

WARNING Hazardous voltages are present at the input of a power system. The DC output from rectifiers and batteries, though not dangerous in voltage, has a high short-circuit current capacity that may cause severe burns and electrical arcing.

Before working with any live battery or power system/distribution center, follow these precautions:

• Remove all metallic jewelry; e.g., watches, rings, metal rimmed glasses, necklaces.

• Wear safety glasses with side shields (and prescription lenses if necessary) at all times during installation.

• Use OSHA approved insulated hand tools.

Lethal voltages are present within a power system. Never assume that an electrical connection or conductor is not energized. Check the circuit with a voltmeter with respect to the grounded portion of the enclosure (both AC and DC) prior to any installation or removal procedure.

Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.

A licensed electrician is required to install permanently wired equipment. Input voltages can range up to 240Vac. Ensure that utility power is disabled before beginning installation or removal.

Ensure no liquids or wet clothes contact internal components. Hazardous electrically live parts inside this unit are energized from batteries even when the AC input powe r is

disconnected.

Battery Safety

Servicing and connection of batteries shall be performed by, or under the direct supervision of, personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required safety precautions.

Always wear eye protection, rubber gloves, and a protective vest when working near batteries. Remove all metallic objects from hands and neck.

Use tools with insulated handles; do not rest tools on top of batteries. Batteries contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other

reproductive harm. Battery post terminals and related accessories contain lead a nd lead compounds; wash hands after handling (California Proposition 65).

WARNING Follow battery manufacturer’s safety recommendations when working around battery systems.

WARNING Do not smoke or present an open flame when batteries (especially vented batteries) are on charge. Batteries vent hydrogen gas when on charge, which creates an explosion hazard.

Batteries are hazardous to the environment and should be disposed of safely at a recycling facility. Consult the battery manufacturer for recommended local authorized recycle r s.

Enclosure specifications may be found in Argus document #029-006-B1. Separate instructions will be provided with the batteries as ordered.

1.2 Product Overview

The Te25xh is a multipurpose enclosure optimized for small DC power applications requiring batteries, po wer equipment or both.

The Te25xh’s compact size is one of its many advantages. With an area size of 36” x 21” x 20” the Te25xh completes the Tempest enclosure line to fulfill small power applications. This enclosure is ideal for rural and urban installations, applications requiring temperature control, and indoor security considerations. Service providers can easily install onto a pole, wall or pedestal mount increasing the many uses for this enclosure.

Inside the Te25xh’s rugged, graffiti-resistant exterior, optimal temperature is maintained with a fan cooling system. A solid steel internal equipment rack and a non-corrosive, light aluminum exterior ensures the structural integrity of the Tempest Te25xh and endorses a NEMA 3R rating. The exterior is fully protected with a padlockable door and intrusion alarms.

Each Te25xh includes:

• Zone 4 (seismic) enclosure design • Aluminum construction

• Padlockable front door • Intrusion alarm

• Enclosure master ground bar • Cable knockouts for access via rear and bottom

• Fan cooling with louvers and filter • Pre-cabled for batteries with Anderson disconnect

2.2 Security

A switch activated by the front door is wired to an intrusion alarm (signal to the front access alarm panel) in the event of an open door condition. The front door may be secured with a padlock.

2.3 Cabling and Connections

The Te25xh comes pre-cabled for batteries with Anderson-compatible disconnects. DIN rail terminal blocks provide a common front-access point for Telco connections. See photo above.

The main or master ground bar (MGB) is located at the middle front right of the equipment rack inside the enclosure. See photo on the next page. The chassis ground is connected to the enclosure frame and equipment rack and is terminated to the MGB within the enclosure. Located on the outside of the enclosure, are knockouts for making the site external ground wire connection.

An optional GFCI outlet, located above the MGB, provides an AC convenience receptacle for customer equipment.
