PLACE OF INSTALLATION
4.4.1
UPS location
NOTE !
UPS installation and connection must be performed by a GE Service Technician only.
If optional cabinets and accessories are included with the UPS, please refer to those
accompanying manuals for installation and operating instructions.
It is important to have a clean, dust-free environment provided with proper ventilation and air-
conditioning to keep the ambient temperature within the specified operating range.
We strongly advice that the ambient temperature should not exceed
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.
NOTE !
Operation at temperatures higher than 77°F (25°C) will reduce battery life.
Potential consequences are explained in Section 9.1.4 of the User Manual: read and
understand them.
The
TLE Series 160 - 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.
Positioning of the UPS TLE Series 160 - 500
Fig. 4.4.1-1 TLE Series 160 - 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 mandatory 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.
