Mechanical Safety
Keep hands and tools clear of fans. Fans are thermostatically controlled and will turn on automatically.
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/distribution center, follow these precautions:
• Remove all metallic jewelry; e.g., watches, rings, metal rimmed glasses, necklaces.
• Wear safety glasses with side shields (and prescription lenses if necessary) at all times during installation.
• Use OSHA approved insulated hand tools.
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.

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. The filter is installed in
the front shroud assembly.
2.2 Security
A switch activated by the front door is wired to an intrusion alarm (signal to the front access alarm panel) in the
event of an open door condition. The front door may be secured with a padlock.
Cable knockouts are provided for access through rear and bottom panels. Refer to outline drawings at the rear of
this manual.
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.
Batteries must ONLY be installed after the unit is transported to the site and secured to the pad.
Transporting the unit with batteries installed may cause a short circuit, fire, explosion, and/or
damage to the battery pack, enclosure and installed equipment. Damage caused by improper
shipping or transporting a unit with batteries installed is not covered by the warranty.
The batteries used in this application may vary slightly depending upon optional configurations, battery types, or
customer requirements. The batteries are typically valve-regulated such as the Alpha Cell. Should a battery be
found damaged, refer to the battery manufacturer's documentation regarding the safe handling of the battery.
3.2 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.
If the batteries are installed, the warehouse facility may have to be certified for handling such goods. Typically, the
batteries will be on a separate pallet; the same requirements for certification will apply.
3.4 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
The site must be planned so that the enclosure will receive good airflow. If possible, in areas of extreme heat, it is
best to position the enclosure so that it will be shaded from the afternoon sun. If no shade is available, a factory
installed fan kit is highly recommended. In areas of prevailing winds, it is best that the enclosure be located so
that the sides of the cabinet face the winds instead of the doors. This will greatly reduce the buildup of sand or
snow against the enclosure’s air vents.
In areas of potential flooding, the geographical site and concrete pad must be located above the 100-year flood
plain.
The enclosure must be placed where it will be free of obstructions, allowing easy access to the doors for service
or equipment access. For ventilation and maintenance, allow a minimum space of 36 inches in the front and 36
inches in the rear, between the enclosure and other solid structures.
Place the enclosure well away from sources of forced water, such as underground sprinkler systems and direct
roadway splash.
The concrete pad drawing provided in this manual contains all of the required mounting details, including
electrical service and cable plant entrances. For ease of installation, lightweight polymer concrete pads are
available.
The vapor barrier material (such as 30 lb. felt, neoprene pond liner, or heavy grade tar paper) must initially extend
at least 6" in all directions around the perimeter of the enclosure and be trimmed closer to the enclosure.
Contact local utilities, local building maintenance departments or cable/piping locator services to ensure that
install does not interfere with existing cables or piping.
NOTE: Ensure that there is sufficient clearance beneath the enclosure mounting for cable routing.
Size: 4” x 4” x 1-1/8”
7.1 Grounding
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.
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). 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. Rinse with clear water, then wipe dry.
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.
