Congratulations! on your purchase of the UPS Pro™ Outdoor
UPS backup power system. Please take a moment to review this
Qwik Install Guide before assembly or battery installation.
DANGER! Avoid Powerlines!
You Can Be Killed!
When following the instructions in this guide take extreme care
to avoid contact with overhead power lines, lights and power circuits.
Contact with power lines, lights or power circuits may be fatal. We recommend to install no closer than 20 feet to any power lines.
Safety: For your own protection, follow these safety rules.
▫ Perform as many functions as possible on the ground
▫ Do not attempt to install on a rainy, windy or snowy day or if
there is ice or snow accumulation at the install site or if the
site is wet.
▫ Make sure there are no people, pets, etc. below when you are
working on a roof or ladder.
Recommended Tools: Phillips Screwdriver, 3mm Allen Wrench,
8mm and 14mm Open End Wrench
Please help preserve the environment and return
used batteries to an authorized depot

STEP 0: The UPSPro™ is Solar Ready™ so a solar panel can be add-
ed at any time to provide supplemental or full time power.
STEP 1: Connect the Battery to Controller BAT terminals. Be sure to
observe polarity. Black wire connects to battery negative terminal and
BAT(-) terminal on the controller. When a fully charged battery is connected, the Green LOA LED should light on controller and power will be
present at the POE output and also the green secondary output on the
back of the controller.
STEP 2: Install battery to enclosure with battery terminals on right. In-
stall metal plate using 8 screws.
STEP 3: Install controller to inside cover of housing using Velcro tape.
Be sure that controller doesn’t interfere with battery when cover is
closed. Mount all the way to the left side to give room for CAT5 cables.
STEP 4: Install Cable Feedthru into center hole in bottom of enclosure.
Feedthru gasket is on outside of enclosure and nut on inside. Tighten
nut.
OPTION: add a drop of threadlocker to the nut to prevent accidental
loosening.
STEP 5: Install two bracket pieces to the back of enclosure using 4
screws. Bracket can be used for wall mounting or pole mounting.
STEP 6: Install CAT5 cable between POE inserter/Power Supply inside
building and the UPS Pro™ unit controller RJ45 IN connector.

STEP 7: Mount any electronics boards to the metal plate. Install a
CAT5 cable between the controller POE OUT and the electronics.
There is a secondary voltage
output on the back of the controller which can be used in addition
to the POE OUT. The secondary
output is equal to the battery
voltage.
On the bottom of the enclosure
there are double D cutouts for
standard N Female bulkhead
connectors which can be used
for an external antenna or RF
device. Just remove the hole
plug to use these cutouts.
STEP 8: Tighten the RJ45 Feedthru on the Cat5 cable. If the cable diameter is too small to make a good seal, wrap a couple turns of electrical tape around the CAT5 cable at the seal area to increase it’s diameter.
STEP 9: Make sure lid gasket is clean and free from any particles, then
carefully close the cover, making sure that wires are clear of the seam
and hinge area.
STEP 10: Tighten the 4 seal screws evenly to seal the cover. Use a
grease or oil on the 4 cover attached screws to make it easier to remove later.

Additional Information you may find useful
1. CONTROLLER: The controller turns off power to the load at 11V and
reconnects when the battery reaches 12V. This protects the battery
from over-discharge and increases battery life and performance.
2. CAPACITY: With a typical AP running 3.5W average. The battery
should be able to provide backup power for up to 26 hours at room temperature. For cold temperatures the capacity is reduced by 20-30%.
3. VENTING: The enclosure is vented thru a small hole on the bottom.
The hole is covered with a PTFE breathable membrane vent. Do not
remove or block the vent cover.
4. DUAL INPUTS: The UPS-DC can be used with solar power alone or
POE power alone or a combination of both.
5. SOLAR PANEL: The controller used in the UPS-DC can handle a
maximum panel size of 135W. Do not exceed 8A into the SOL input or
damage to the controller can occur. When the solar panel is generating
power, the SOL input will take priority and the POE input will not be
used to charge the battery. When the solar panel isn’t generating power
then the battery will be charged from the POE input.
6. SOLAR PANEL ANGLE: Solar panel angle should be adjusted to
optimize output. Optimum angle is based on location longitude and is
different if summer or winter. If the panel won’t have seasonal adjustment, set for winter angle and leave this setting year round. See tyconpower.com/learning_center for additional information. If you are planning to keep solar panel angle fixed all year then set the angle to
Your_Latitude * 0.9 +30
7. BATTERY HOOKUP: Always connect the battery first and disconnect the battery last. The controller should not be run without a battery
connected.
8. BATTERY MAINTENANCE: The batteries used in the UPSPro systems don’t require any maintenance. They should last up to 5 years in
normal use.
9. BATTERY OVERDISCHARGE: We highly recommend hooking all
equipment loads to the controller voltage output. This output will disconnect the load if the battery voltage drops below 11V and this will protect
the battery from over-discharge. If batteries get completely discharged
because the equipment was connected directly to the battery, you will
reduce the battery life and you will most likely need to supercharge
them with a good quality 10A automotive battery charger. Once they
are back to a normal operating range, the integrated charge controller
will maintain the charge.
10. DUAL OUTPUTS: The UPS-DC has a POE output which can be

12V, 18V, 24V or 48V depending on which model is purchased. There
is also an auxiliary protected output on the back of the controller to supply 12VDC. This is useful for applications requiring 2 different voltages.
11. POE SWITCH: Tycon Power offers a universal voltage 5port and
8port POE switch if more than one device needs to be powered from
the battery system. The TP-SW5G-NC and TP-SW8-NC offer the
unique feature that the voltage supplied to the switch is the POE voltage sent to the devices. So 12VDC in and you get 12VDC POE to the
devices. The operating voltage is 12V to 56VDC.
12. OTHER ACCESSORIES: Tycon also offers a variety of voltage conversion products to meet almost any need. Just visit tyconpower.com
for more info.
