Power supplies can reach extreme temperatures under load.
Use caution around sheet metal components and sharp edges.
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, the following precautions should be followed:
• Remove all metallic jewelry; e.g., watches, rings, eyeglasses, necklaces.
• Safety glasses with side shields must be worn at all times.
• Tools with insulated handles must be used.
Lethal voltages are present within a power system. Never assume that an electrical connection or conductor is not
energized. Check the circuit with a voltmeter with respect to the grounded portion of the enclosure (both AC and
DC) prior to 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 240Vac. Ensure that utility power is disabled before beginning installation or removal.
Ensure no liquids or wet clothes contact internal components.
Hazardous electrically live parts inside this unit are energized from batteries even when the AC input power is
disconnected.
Battery Safety
Servicing and connection of batteries shall 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 hands and neck.
Use tools with insulated handles; do not rest tools on top of batteries.
Batteries contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Battery post terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds; wash hands
after handling (California Proposition 65).
WARNING
Follow battery manufacturer’s safety recommendations when working around battery systems.
WARNING
Do not smoke or present an open flame when batteries (especially vented batteries) are on
charge. Batteries vent hydrogen gas when on charge, 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.

3.1.1 Packaging
The enclosure and components are shipped on individual pallets and shrink wrapped. The pallet is approximately
0.15m H x 1.22m W x 1.52m D (6” H x 48” W x 60” D) and the overall height including pallet and enclosure is
approximately 2.3m (91”). The enclosures and components cannot be stacked.
Batteries are not installed; they will be shipped on a separate pallet and packaged per the manufacturers
guidelines.
NOTE: Packaging assemblies and methods are tested to International Safe Transit Association standards.
3.1.2 Storage
The weight of the enclosure is listed in the specifications. The equipment pallet can be moved using a forklift.
Do not hoist/lift enclosure with batteries installed.
The warehouse facility may have to be certified for handling batteries (shipped on a separate pallet).
3.1.4 Inspection
Prior to unpacking the equipment, perform a visual inspection and note any damage. Unpack the equipment and
inspect the exterior for damage. If any damage is observed contact the carrier immediately.
Continue the inspection for any internal damage. In the unlikely event of internal damage, please inform the
carrier and contact Argus Technologies for advice on the consequence of any damage.
Verify that you have all the necessary parts per your order for proper assembly.
Call Argus Technologies if you have any questions before you proceed: 1 (888) 462-7487
DANGER
An enclosure that is not properly grounded can present an electrical hazard.
A proper grounding system that meets or exceeds the specifications of the equipment must be designed and
installed prior to or in conjunction with the construction of the mounting scenario. The ground system must be
bonded to the enclosure to ensure a “Common” or “Single-Point” Ground; some examples are:
New builds – Buried ground ring with bare solid conductor to ground rods.
Rooftop – Connection to building steel, water pipes, etc.
Refer to local codes and practices from the local power company. Size to suit.
Only a licensed electrician should connect any AC power and grounding to the enclosure. A dedicated ground rod
is required for the grounding the AC panel.
CAUTION
Do not route AC and DC wiring in the same conduit.
6.1 Preparation/Mounting
The enclosure must be mounted (Section 4) before installation of the bottom tray of 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). Significantly lower temperatures reduce performance and higher temperatures
decrease life expectancy.
Before assembly, clean cells (where applicable) as per the battery manufacturer's recommendations. First
neutralize any acid with a baking soda and water solution. Then wipe the cells with clean water.
After assembly, batteries should be numbered and “as received” readings should be taken; such as, battery
voltage and temperature. Refer to manufacturer's literature for guidelines. See following table for typical
maintenance report.

8.1 System
All Argus power system components undergo thorough factory testing. All levels/alarms are set to predetermined
values as detailed in their individual component manuals except where custom levels are specified. Good
installation practice is to check the operation of all features and alarms and to set the power system levels in
accordance with the specific requirements of your system.
NOTE: The individual system component manuals detail the methodology for testing and calibration of all components.
8.1.1 Environmental/Intrusion
Check operation of all enclosure features; such as air conditioning unit, high/low temperature alarms and intrusion
alarm.
8.2 Battery
After installation of batteries it is usually necessary to “initial charge” the batteries to ensure proper operation and
to eliminate plate sulfation. Follow guidelines supplied with the battery and record initial charge readings; i.e.
specific gravity, cell voltage, charge current and temperature.
NOTE: Battery warranty may be void if batteries are not initially charged following the manufacture's guidelines – with
proper records maintained.
Some VRLA batteries do not require initial charging if placed on charge within 3-6 months of manufacture, check
with the manufacturer.
After the equalization period battery voltage should be reduced to the recommended float level.
Once the batteries have been initial charged it is suggested to perform a short duration high rate discharge test on
the batteries to verify the connections on the batteries and also to verify that there are no open or failed cells. Cell
voltages should be monitored during this process:
• Discharge for 15 minutes at the C/8 rate.
• Record cell voltages every 5 minutes.
• Check for overheating connections.
8.3 Documentation
Complete all necessary documentation; i.e., battery reports (Table B), DC wiring lists, AC distribution tables, floor
plans, etc. Tag wires, fill out identification strips, and identify circuit breakers.
9.2 Batteries
It is recommended that checks be made every six months for battery voltage, conductance, temperature,
impedance, connections, etc.
See battery manual for general maintenance information.
