EXTERNAL BATTERY MUST BE INSTALLED AND CONNECTED TO THE UPS BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY. 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 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

Batteries contain caustic acids and toxic materials and can rupture or leak if mistreated. Remove rings and metal wristwatches or other metal objects and jewelry. Do not carry metal objects in your pockets where the objects can fall into the battery cabinet.

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 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 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install the battery in a temperature and humidity

controlled indoor area, free of contaminants.

8 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.

9 Where conductors may be exposed to physical damage, protect the conductors in

accordance with all applicable codes.

10 If you are replacing the battery or repairing battery connections, shut OFF the UPS and

remove the battery fuses.

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).

4.4.2 Battery location

Batteries require a well-ventilated room with controlled temperature to obtain reliable operation.

The Battery can be installed immediately adjacent to the UPS (left or right side) or remotely from the UPS. If the Battery is installed remotely from the UPS, a wall mounted DC disconnect device must be installed within line-of-site to both the UPS and the Battery.

The optimal room 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).

The life of valve-regulated batteries will be reduced by 50% for each additional 18°F (10°C) that the battery ambient temperature is above 77°F (25°C).

The Battery System associated with larger UPS is usually either rack mounted or installed in multiple Battery Cabinets.

Installation and assembly must be made according to the local standards and Battery System manufacturer„s recommendations.

The Battery Circuit Breaker or Battery Fuse Box must be mounted as near as possible to the Battery.

4.5 VENTILATION AND COOLING

The heat produced by the UPS is transferred to the environment by its ventilation.

Air inlets for UPS ventilation are located on the front of the UPS, while air outlets are on top of the cabinet.

A suitable ventilation or cooling system must be installed to extract the heat from the UPS room.

Air filtering systems could be required when the UPS operates in a dirty environment.

In order to prevent overheating of the UPS, the available air intake flow rate must exceed the total air exhaust flow rate requirement of the UPS system. Contact your Dealer or the nearest Service Center for appropriate solutions.

The below table indicates the heat dissipation at full Load at PF = 1 and charged Battery, up to 3280 ft (1000 m) altitude, for cooling air 77°F (25°C) to 86°F (30°C).

It is the responsibility of the installation technician to ensure that all local and national electric codes are adhered to.

Refer to the “Safety prescriptions - Installation” described on Section 1.

NOTE !

Ensure that the AC and DC external isolators are OFF and locked out to prevent their inadvertent operation. Do not apply power to the equipment prior to the commissioning by a QUALIFIED SERVICE ENGINEER. Before any other input connection, connect and check the grounding wire.

Common Input Utility Rectifier & Bypass

Fig. 4.7.1-1 Common Input Utility Rectifier & Bypass (option)

The same power source is to be used for both Bypass Supply and Rectifier Input (input F3).

Bear in mind that when the Utility fuses are opened there is a supply failure to the Rectifier as well as to the Bypass and Manual Bypass switch.

In this case, the interconnection links BR1, BR2 and BR3 on the input terminals or bus bars MUST REMAIN CONNECTED.

Dual Input Utility Configuration Rectifier & Bypass (option)

Fig. 4.7.1-2 Dual Input Utility Rectifier & Bypass

The Bypass and Rectifier use different power sources (F1 and F2 inputs).

In this case, when the Rectifier-input fuses are opened, the Automatic Bypass and the Manual Bypass are supplied by the other connection.

Always verify that the received UPS is as per the configuration ordered. While installing UPS dual source, the interconnection links BR1, BR2 and BR3 MUST BE REMOVED. See Fig. 4.8.2-2 & 4.8.4-2.

4.7 ELECTRICAL WIRING

NOTE !

If you use ELCB breaker (Earth Limiting Circuit Breaker) to protect the input connections, consider the high leakage current generated by the noise suppression capacitors.

If these ELCB breakers are strictly necessary, we suggest using the largest type suitable for non-linear current and for delayed operations.

NOTE !

The delivery and installation of fuses and input/output connections of the UPS are at

the customer’s expense, unless agreed otherwise.

4.7.2 Input/output over current protection and wire sizing

The cabling of the UPS system has to be sized according to the UPS power rating. Sizing of circuit Breakers, Fuses and cables for Input Utility, output load and Battery must meet the requirements of local and national electrical codes.

Before connecting the UPS, verify that the Utility Voltage and Frequency, the Output Load Voltage and Frequency and Battery Data (cells number, floating voltage, autonomy) are according to the required data.

The protection of the UPS utility input must be exclusively with 3 pole breakers. Disconnection of the Neutral is not permitted. The UPS needs the connection of the Neutral to the input, to guarantee the function in TN mode (Neutral-Earth).

Caution when using Four-Pole Circuit Breakers as protection to the UPS Load. A potential problem exists for situations with non-linear Loads, causing the Neutral Current to be higher than the Phase Current.

Avoid to run the input cables in parallel with the output cables to prevent them from noise induction.

The Three-Phase Utility Power supply must be symmetrical with respect to Ground (wye-connected and grounded solidly), due to the existence of voltage surge protection devices inside the UPS.

The connection of the Battery to the UPS must be protected with fuses or similar devices according to technical specifications and in accordance with local standards.

To ensure the circuit selectivity in case of Short- Circuit in the Load equipment, special care must be taken in choosing the Fuse or Circuit Breaker ratings installed in the output distribution circuits.

Due to the relatively low short-circuit capability of the UPS Inverter, a short-circuit in the Load will cause an immediate transfer to Utility. The largest fuse in the output distribution should be at least 1.6 time smaller than the Fuses supplying the Bypass line.

If circuit selectivity is required while the Load is fed from the Inverter (Bypass Utility not available), the Largest Fuse or Circuit Breaker should be rated at no more than 20% of the UPS Output Current Rating.

Carefully read the following recommendations before proceeding:

 Ensure that the AC and DC external isolators are Off, and prevent their inadverted operation.  Do not close any external isolators prior to the commissioning of the equipment.  The input/output cables must be connected in clockwise phase rotation for both Bypass and

Rectifier Input Bars if separate, taking care to avoid risk of short circuit between different poles.

 The grounding and neutral connection of the electrical system must be in accordance with local

regulations.

 In case of additional cabinets containing batteries, input/ output transformers, etc, their ground

terminals must be connected to the UPS main ground terminal.

 Once the power cables have been connected, re-install the internal safety shields and close the

cabinets by re-installing all external panels.

NOTE !

For systems intended to be operated in eBoost™ Operation Mode, the installation shall be protected with suitable surge protection devices (SPDs) on the AC bus feeding the UPSs.

Please contact your Service Center for more information.

NOTE !

In eBoostTM Operation Mode the inverter output filter is placed in parallel with the load, and combined with the load current it contributes to the UPS input characteristic.

As the inverter output filter exhibits a predominantly capacitive characteristic, it may provide some degree of reactive power compensation when combined with lagging power factor loads.

Conversely, depending on the load type and level, the UPS input characteristic may exhibit a leading power factor in eBoostTM Operation Mode.

Please contact your Service Center for more information.

NOTE !

If an emergency generator set supplies the UPS in case of Utility Failure, and the system is intended to be operated in eBoost™ Operation Mode, eBoost operation shall be prevented during generator operation.

This can be accomplished by either installing a “GENERATOR ON” signal (refer to Section 5.2.5) or an “eBoost/IEMi CONTROL” signal (refer to Section 5.2.7).

Please contact your Service Center for more information.

NOTE !

The UPS needs the connection of the Neutral at the input Bus Bars.

Fig. 4.8.6-1 TLE Series 225 - 500 - Switch Q2 – Manual Bypass

When the UPS is used as a frequency converter, the circuit breaker Q2 - Manual Bypass operating handle should be removed to avoid any accidental closure. See Fig. 4.8.4-1.

In order to avoid improper operation, only the Rectifier input should be powered (L1-1, L2-1 and L3-1

/ Fig. 4.8.2-1 & 4.8.4.1), therefore the interconnection links BR1, BR2 and BR3, on the input bus bars, MUST BE REMOVED. See Fig. 4.8.2-2 and 4.8.4-2.

Special care must be taken in choosing the fuse ratings installed in the output distribution (max. 20% of the UPS rated current).

Avoid high inrush current due to transformer magnetization or motor starting.

NOTE !

At site only a QUALIFIED SERVICE ENGINEER may change a unit, initially delivered as a frequency converter, into a normally operating “standard” UPS.

4.8.6 Use of TLE Series 225 - 500 as frequency converter

When the TLE Series 225 - 500 is utilized for different output frequency compared to the input frequency, the Automatic Bypass and Manual Bypass functions are disabled, therefore the Load cannot

be transferred to Utility in case of overload, short circuit, or inverter failure.

In situations where the UPS needs to be powered down for maintenance purposes, the critical Load must also be powered down during this time.

The UPS cannot be transferred to Manual Bypass, as serious damage to the Load could be the result.

When the set-up parameters of the UPS are set for frequency converter, the eBoost™ Operation Mode is automatically disabled.

WARNING !

This operation must be performed by trained personnel before the initial start-up (ensure that the UPS installation is completely powered down).

NOTE !

It is strongly recommended that no transformers, automatic circuit breakers or fuses should be inserted between the unit’s output and the Load common bus bars.

However, it is recommended that a disconnection or isolation switch is installed in order to totally isolate a unit if needed.

4.9 RPA PARALLEL SYSTEM CONNECTION

4.9.1 Power wiring of parallel units

To guarantee good Load sharing between the units of a Parallel System, we recommend that the cable length from the input distribution board (5) to the output distribution board (9) is equal for each unit (a+b = c+d = e+f = g+h = i+l = m+n = o+p = q+r). Tolerance: +/-10%.

The AC input power of the Bypass must be the same for all units of the Parallel System - no phase shift allowed between units.

Verify that power wiring and control wiring run in separate conduits or cable trays. The power wiring requires two separate conduits: one for input and one for output cables.

4.9.2 Parallel control bus connection

In case of Parallel System, the communication between the units takes place through the Control Bus Cables.

Each Parallel Unit contains the two boards “P13/P14 – IM0022 – Bus Interface Board” (mounted on top of the board “P12 – IM0196 – RPA Board”) on which four connectors J1A - J2A and J1B - J2B are allocated. All the parallel units are connected to the same control bus.

This connection allows:

 The microprocessors of each unit to communicate with each other.  The oscillators of each unit to be locked together.  The regulation loops to compare the output current of each unit in order to equally share the Load

current.

For increased reliability, this connection is made with redundant cables. In this way, communication is maintained between units in case one of the control cables should fail or be accidentally damaged or disconnected.

The standard length of the control bus cable between two parallel units is 40 ft / 12m. The maximal overall length of bus connection, between the first and the last unit, should not exceed 295 ft / 90m. Verify that control wiring run in an individual separate steel conduit.

It is important to place the units in sequence of their assigned number. A unit number from 1 to 6 is defined by the setting of parameters and displayed on the panel (1 to 6). This number is also marked inside and outside the packaging.

In case one unit must be removed from the Parallel System, the communication bus cables must be taken out the UPS cabinet WITHOUT DISCONNECTING THEM from the two boards “P13/P14 – IM0022 – Bus Interface Board”.

For reliability reasons the cables J1A – J2A (1/2/3/4/5) and J1B – J2B (1/2/3/4/5) connecting the units should be run in separated protected conduits (as indicated in Fig. 4.9.3-3) separated from the power cables.

It is important that the cable J1A – J2A (1/2/3/4/5) must be the same length as cable J1B – J2B (1/2/3/4/5).

WARNING !

Connection and commissioning of an additional UPS to an existing Parallel System must be performed by a service engineer from of your Service Center.

If an emergency generator set supplies the UPS in case of Utility Failure and the generator is considerably unstable in frequency, it should be suitable to install the signal “GENERATOR ON” on X1 / 11, 22. See Fig. 5.2-1 / X1.

Since the Parameter for of the reading of the Generator function is password protected, call the nearest Service Center for it's activation.

When this contact closes, it changes certain (programmable) functions such as:

 Enabling or disabling of synchronization and consequently the Load transfer to generator.  Reduction or elimination or delay of Battery recharging during the generator operation.

Additionally, when the “GENERATOR ON” input contact is closed, the UPS will inhibit eBoost™ Operation Mode and revert to double-conversion operation.

It is advised to contact your Service Center for further details.

In a Parallel System, the input on the Customer Interface of each unit must be connected to a separate AUX contact of the External Maintenance Bypass Switch.

When using the “eBoost/IEMi control” function on the programmable user relays of

the Customer Interface X1 terminals in a Parallel System, a separate NO (Normally Open) contact must be connected to each individual unit.

5.2.6 X1 terminal block - AUX external Maintenance Bypass

If the UPS system is equipped with an external Maintenance Bypass Switch, it is possible to connect a NO (Normally Open) voltage-free aux. contact from the External Bypass Switch to the programmable input X1 / 10, 21, making the UPS operate as if the internal switch Q2 has closed.

This function can be activated by changing a dedicated parameter (password required).

When this NO (Normally Open) contact closes, the output Inverter Contactor K7 it is automatically opened and the Load transfer back to Inverter will be inhibited.

5.2.7 X1 terminal block - eBoost/IEMi control signal

The UPS operation in either eBoost or IEMi operating modes can be controlled via an NO (Normally Open)

contact by installing the “eBoost/IEMi CONTROL” signal, routed to the programmable function contacts

(see Section 5.2.3).

When this contact closes, eBoost or IEMi operation mode is inhibited. The Parameter for the activation of such function is password protected. Call the nearest Service Center for its activation.

This function is particularly useful for controlling eBoost or IEMi operation following critical conditions on

either the load side or the input utility, including generator operation when the “GENERATOR ON” signal

has not been installed.
