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.
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.

1 Introduction 1.1 Scope of the Manual This instruction manual explains the features, installation, and maintenance of Argus Technologies’ Tempest Te25xh Outdoor Power Enclosure. NOTE: Images contained in this document are for illustrative purposes only and may not exactly match your installation. Enclosure specifications may be found in Argus document #029-006-B1. Separate instructions will be provided with the batteries as ordered. 1.
2 Enclosure Features (Photo is for reference only – subject to installation requirements) Cooling fan assembly DIN rail Telco connections (4) Intrusion alarm switch Fan control thermostat Battery string disconnect Figure 2–Te25xh with front door open showing internal features 2.1 Ventilation The Te25xh Compact Power Node enclosure is designed with louvers and a thermostat-controlled fan assembly (shown above) providing filtered ambient air-cooling to the equipment within the enclosure.
GFCI outlet Master ground bar Figure 3–Inside upper front right (may not be exactly as shown) Cable knockouts are provided for access through rear and bottom panels. Refer to outline drawings at the rear of this manual. 2.4 Battery Tray A single battery tray is included with the Te25xh Compact Power Node for installing various battery models such as Alpha Technologies 85-GXL or similar. The tray dimensions are 470mm D x 432mm W (18.5” D x 17” W).
3 Transportation and Storage 3.1 Packaging The enclosure and components are shipped on individual pallets and shrink wrapped. The pallet is approximately 0.13m H x 1.07m W x 1.07m D (5” H x 42” W x 42” D) and the overall height including pallet and enclosure is approximately 1.1m (43”). The enclosures and components cannot be stacked. NOTE: Packaging assemblies and methods are tested to International Safe Transit Association standards. WARNING Never transport the unit with batteries installed.
4 Site Considerations The information in this section is intended as a guideline only; there may be site-specific requirements and other factors that will require individual attention, such as jurisdictional codes and construction covenants. 4.1 Site Selection The supporting structure must be designed to support a fully configured enclosure. This will require a concrete slab and any existing structures to be properly reinforced to support the floor loading.
5 Tools Required Various insulated tools are essential for enclosure and DC power system installation. Use this list as a guide: • • • • • • • • • • Battery lifting apparatus (as required) Various crimping tools and dies, to match lugs used in installation Digital voltmeter equipped with test leads Cable cutters Torque wrench: 1/4” drive, 0-150 in/lbs Torque wrench: 3/8” drive, 0-100 ft/lbs Insulating canvases as required (2’ x 2’, 1’ x 1’, 3’ x 3’, etc.
6 Enclosure Installation 6.1 Pedestal Mount Kit with Concrete Mounting Frame This kit is comprised of two kits: 037-146-20 (Brown Kit) and 037-182-20. See drawings 037-146-04 and 037-18204 at the rear of this manual. 1. Unwrap the enclosure and inspect the contents. If items are missing or damaged, contact Argus Technologies and the shipper immediately. 2. Unbolt the enclosure from the shipping pallet. 3.
7 Wiring and Connections This section is provided for qualified personnel to install and interconnect the power components within the Te25xh. Regarding battery installation, refer primarily to the manufacturer’s guidelines for more specific information. 7.1 Grounding DANGER An enclosure that is not properly grounded can present an electrical hazard.
7.2 AC Input Power Verify electrical codes prior to installation. Codes may vary and contain specific conduit and wire sizes for AC input power connections. Connection to utility power must be approved by the local utility before installing the power supply. 7.2.1 AC Load Centre (Example 1) This sample system is configured with a 100A 8-position load centre and a 70A 2-pole main disconnect equipped with a 30A breaker. Figure 7–Side view of example 1 NOTE: See schematic at the rear of this manual. 1.
7.2.2 AC Load Centre (Example 2) This sample system is configured with a 100A 8-position load centre and a 100A combination meter socket with provision for 2-pole main breaker (comes equipped with a 30A breaker). Figure 9–Side view of example 2 L1 L2 N NOTE: See schematic at the rear of this manual. 1. Locate the combination meter socket on the side of the enclosure and remove the front cover panel(s) to access the meter socket and circuit breaker interior assembly. 2.
7.3 DC Power Connections DC power connections include customer load/equipment circuit breakers and battery circuit breakers (pre-wired). Circuit breakers are labeled on the front panel of the DC distribution section of the rectifier shelf and each corresponding output power load cable set connection is marked on terminal block of system input/output termination panel. 7.4 Alarm Connections Alarm output connections are provided on system I/O termination panel.
8 Battery Installation WARNING Follow battery manufacturer’s safety recommendations when working around battery systems and review the safety instructions provided in this manual. 8.1 Preparation/Mounting The enclosure must be mounted before installation of the batteries may be completed. Batteries should be located in a temperature-controlled environment; i.e., Tempest. The temperature should be regulated at approx. 25°C (77°F).
9 Test Results 9.1 Acoustical Noise Test Condition: The equipment under test (EUT) was set up in a room with an acoustical background of 37.5dBA. 45.0dBA @ 1.5 m (4.9 ft) REAR RIGHT 42.0dBA @ 1.5 m (4.9 ft) EUT LEFT 42.0dBA @ 1.5 m (4.9 ft) FRONT 45.0dBA @ 1.5 m (4.9 ft) 9.2 Thermal Performance The Te25xh is designed to supply power from three 650W rectifiers plus one additional for n+1 (four modules in total) when operating at an ambient temperature of 46°C (114.8°F).

10 Maintenance Although very little maintenance is required with Argus systems, routine checks and adjustments are recommended to ensure optimum system performance. Qualified service personnel should do repairs. The following table lists a few maintenance procedures for this system. These procedures should be performed at least once a year. WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE AND SHOCK HAZARD. Use extreme care when working inside the enclosure/shelf while the system is energized.
11 Argus Conventions 11.1 Numbering System Argus Technologies uses an eight-digit drawing number system, which is broken into three blocks. The first three digits describe the category of the product; e.g., rectifier or fuse panel. The next three digits indicate the sequence in which the product number was allocated in a particular category.
