NOTE !
A damaged UPS must never be installed or connected to Utility or Battery!
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
a dry, 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.
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)
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.
4.3 STORAGE
4.3.1 Storage of the UPS
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 selfdischarge 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).

NOTE !
UPS installation and connection must be performed by QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL only.
If optional cabinets and accessories are included with the UPS, please refer to those
accompanying manuals for installation and operating instructions.
NOTE !
Temperature is very important for valve-regulated batteries (maintenance free).
Operation at temperatures higher than 77°F (25°C) will reduce battery life.
Positioning of the UPS TLE Series 225 - 500
Fig. 4.4.1-1 TLE Series 225 - 500 – Positioning of the UPS
The rear panel of the UPS may be
mounted flush to a wall or other
structure.
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.
Check section 110-26(A) of the NEC
code for specific requirements.
To guarantee proper cooling air
exhaust, the recommended minimum
clearance between ceiling and top of
the UPS is 20” (500mm).
A single-phase power outlet (120Vac)
should be provided near the UPS for
connection of power tools, test
equipment or connectivity devices.
This outlet must be grounded.

4.4 PLACE OF INSTALLATION
4.4.1 UPS location
It is important to have a clean, dust-free environment provided with proper ventilation and airconditioning 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.
The TLE Series 225 - 500 UPS 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.
