Electrical safety
WARNING: Hazardous voltages are present at the input of power systems. 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, follow these precautions:
Remove all metallic jewelry, such as watches, rings, metal rimmed glasses, or necklaces.
Wear safety glasses with side shields at all times during installation.
Use OSHA approved insulated hand tools.
DANGER: Lethal voltages are present within a power system. Always assume that an electrical
connection or conductor is energized. Check the circuit with a voltmeter with respect to the
grounded portion of the enclosure (both AC and DC) before performing 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
240 Vac. Ensure that the utility power is disconnected and locked out performing any installation or
removal procedure.
Ensure that no liquids or wet clothes come into contact with internal components.
Hazardous electrically live parts inside this unit are energized from the batteries even when the AC input power is
disconnected.
Battery safety
Servicing and connection of batteries must 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 your hands and neck.
Use OSHA approved insulated hand tools. Do not rest tools on top of batteries.
Batteries contain or emit chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Battery
post terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash your hands after handling
batteries.
WARNING: Follow battery manufacturer’s safety recommendations when working around battery
systems.
WARNING: Do not smoke or introduce an open flame when batteries (especially vented batteries)
are charging. Batteries vent hydrogen gas when charging, 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 recyclers.
Post installation weather proofing
After installing the conduits and removing any knockouts to accommodate conduit locations, ensure that any gaps
between the conduit fittings and the shroud are sealed. Apply a weatherproof caulking to gaps to prevent wind
driven rain from reaching the electrical equipment.

4 Installation
4.1 Pre-installation considerations
The information in this section is intended to be used as a guideline only. There may be site-specific requirements
and other factors that may require different procedures. For example, your jurisdictional codes and construction
covenants may require different procedures than those in this manual.
4.2 Power system
An Alpha system provides sufficient power for a defined frame load plus the capacity to recharge the batteries
within 24 hours.
“N+1 recharge” time refers to the estimated hours to recharge the batteries to 95% while operating at full load with
all the rectifiers working and where a “redundant” rectifier is installed. Consult the factory if your equipment
configuration has changed from its original layout.
4.3 HVAC system
The 4000 BTU air conditioning/heater and the emergency ventilation system are optimized and tested for a
particular equipment configuration within the enclosure. Consult the factory if your equipment configuration has
changed from the original layout. Factory testing may be required for new equipment configurations.
4.4 Site selection
The Te45 has been designed as an outdoor power system enclosure. The most common mounting structures are:
An at-grade concrete slab.
A steel platform.
An existing structure, such as a rooftop.
The mounting structure must be strong enough to support a fully equipped enclosure. Existing structures may need
to be reinforced to support the enclosure. The mounting site must be built in accordance with local building
practices and codes. A fully equipped power enclosure with 5 rectifiers and 8 batteries weighs approximately 2000
lb. A fully configured power enclosure with 16 batteries weighs approximately 3000 lb.
Consider the following before selecting a mounting site:
The Alpha Te45 enclosure is designed for front, rear, and if necessary top access. Only front access is required
for maintenance.
Avoid areas that may be subjected to hot air exhaust from nearby equipment or buildings.
Find out if your intended area is subjected to architectural controls or environmental restrictions.
Avoid areas that are prone to flooding.
4.5 Enclosure support
A supporting structure with a minimum load capacity of 350 lb/ft² is required to support a fully equipped power
enclosure with rectifiers, batteries, air conditioner, etc.
A support structure with a minimum load capacity of 500 lb/ft² is required to support a fully equipped battery
enclosure.

Figure 15 – Concrete anchor bolt fastening detail
4.5.2 Concrete slab
Cast-in-place or pre-cast concrete slabs can be used.
Place the enclosure on the concrete slab. Use the enclosed Hilti HSL heavy-duty expansion anchor bolts, or
approved equivalents, and the enclosed square seismic washers to secure the enclosure. Follow the specific
recommendations from the fastener manufacturer to ensure that the securing device achieves its full structural
capacity. Take into account the embedment depth and the clear edge distances. Refer to the following figure.
Alternate mounting systems that are not provided directly with the enclosure must be reviewed by a registered
professional engineer that is qualified to practice within the jurisdiction where the enclosure is being installed.
An alternate mounting system could for example use a chemical anchoring system such as Hilti’s HY150 for
concrete or HY20 for masonry along with suitable threaded rods and inserts from the manufacturer. Follow the
manufacturer’s recommendations to determine the spacing and placement of the threaded rods.
The structure must be designed to support a fully equipped enclosure. The concrete slab and any existing
structures must be properly reinforced to support the floor loading. The mounting site must be designed and

4.9.1 Enclosure preparation
Remove the protective covering from the system. The doors are designed to be locked with a pad-lock and are
secured with tie-wraps for shipping. Cut the tie-wraps and open the doors. The inside of the enclosure contains the
rectifiers, and other hardware.
Inspect the packing slip to verify that you have received all the equipment that you ordered.
If the batteries are on a separate pallet, do not install them until after the enclosure has been secured and the
ground wires and other cable entries are connected. It is easier to route the cables when the batteries are not
installed.
All documentation is packed inside the equipment compartment.
Inspect all moving parts, hardware, connectors, and other equipment.
Report any damage to the shipper and Alpha Technologies.
Remove and properly dispose of all packaging.
Save the rectifier boxes for future transport.
Remove the rear panels to access the rear mounting bolts.
Remove the four bolts that secure the enclosure to the pallet. These bolts are accessible from the inside of the
enclosure and are located in the corners of the enclosure. The enclosure is now ready for lifting.
4.9.2 Lifting preparation
CAUTION: Follow all local safety practices and guidelines while lifting the enclosure. All personnel
involved with lifting and positioning the enclosure must wear head and eye protection and gloves.
Only properly trained and certified personnel should operate the crane. Only properly trained and
certified personnel should operate the forklift.
Make sure that the lifting eyes are securely fastened before lifting the enclosure. Ensure that the clevises are
correctly installed and that the enclosure is approximately level during the lift. This will simplify the enclosure
positioning.
Close and latch the enclosure front door. The rear panels do not have to be installed.
Place the enclosed rubber mat onto the slab or platform. Orient the mat so that the mounting holes line up. If
the rubber mat is “ribbed” the ribs should be against the concrete.

5 System startup
After completing the enclosure installation and the power system wiring, perform the following startup and test
procedure:
5.1 Connecting the batteries
1. Check and verify the polarity of all the batteries.
2. Open all the DC breakers and temporarily remove all the DC fuses. The breakers must be closed and the fuses
reinstalled after the testing is complete.
3. Unplug all rectifiers except one.
4. Switch on the AC breakers to apply power to the rectifier shelf.
5. The controller will perform a short self-test as it boots up.
6. Alarm conditions will likely be present and will probably not clear because there is no DC load on the rectifiers
since all the loads are disconnected.
7. The system voltage will be visible on the controller display.
8. With the batteries disconnected, measure the voltage difference between the power system and the battery
string. The voltage difference should be less than 3 V. If the voltage difference is greater than 3 V, check the
cable connections and the conditions of the batteries. Correct the problems and then proceed. If you are
unable to correct the problem, switch off the AC input power and contact Alpha Technologies.
9. Measure the battery voltage at the battery connector and ensure that the polarity is correct. Connect the first
string of batteries by plugging in the Anderson connector. Repeat this step for the remaining string of batteries.
10. Plug in the remaining rectifiers one at a time.
11. All the alarms should clear and the audible alarm will switch off provided the batteries are slightly discharged.
12. Switch on the all the remaining breakers. The air conditioner fans should start.
13. Apply the DC loads by switching on the DC powered equipment.

CSA/NRTL — MARKS — BACKGROUND
What are the CSA and NRTL?
CSA (Canadian Standards Association also known as CSA International) was established in 1919 as
an independent testing laboratory in Canada. CSA received its recognition as an NRTL (Nationally
Recognized Testing Laboratory) in 1992 from OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) in
the United States of America (Docket No. NRTL-2-92). This was expanded and renewed in 1997, 1999,
and 2001. The specic notications were posted on OSHA’s ofcial website as follows:
Federal Register #: 59:40602 - 40609 [08/09/1994]
Federal Register #: 64:60240 - 60241 [11/04/1999]
Federal Register #: 66:35271 - 35278 [07/03/2001]
When these marks appear with the indicator “C and US” or “NRTL/C” it means that the product is
certied for both the US and Canadian markets, to the applicable US and Canadian standards. (1)
Argus rectier and power system products, bearing the aforementioned CSA marks, are
certied to CSA C22.2 No. 950 and UL 1950, or CSA/UL 60950.
As part of the reciprocal, US/Canada agreement regarding testing laboratories, the Standards Council
of Canada (Canada’s national accreditation body) granted Underwriters Laboratories (UL) authority to
certify products for sale in Canada. (2)
Only Underwriters Laboratories may grant a licence for the use of this mark, which indicates compliance
with both Canadian and US requirements. (3)
What are NRTLs and what do they do?
NRTLs are third party organizations recognized by OSHA, US Department of Labor, under the NRTL
program.
The testing and certications are based on product safety standards developed by US based standards
developing organizations and are often issued by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). (4)
The NRTL determines that a product meets the requirements of an appropriate consensus-based
product safety standard either by successfully testing the product itself, or by verifying that a contract
laboratory has done so, and the NRTL certies that the product meets the requirements of the product
safety standard. (4)
The product on which either of these marks appear
has been certied by CSA as meeting applicable
Canada/US standards.
The product on which this mark
appears has been certied by UL
as meeting applicable Canada/US
standards.
When was the NRTL started and who governs it?
In 1983, in a suit brought on by an independent testing laboratory, OSHA was court ordered to remove
specic references to UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and FMRC (Factory Mutual Research Corporation)
from its regulations.
In 1988, OSHA revised its regulations to remove those references and the NRTL program was
established.
The NRTL Program is both national and international in scope with foreign labs permitted.
