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 rec-
ommend 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 Scr ewdriver, 7mm Open End
Wrench, Soldering Iron & Solder (for solar panel)
Please help preserve the environment and return
used batteries to an authorized depot
Qwik Install
STEP 1: The UPSPro™ is Solar Ready™ so a solar panel can be add-
ed at any time to provide supplemental or full time power.
STEP 2: Install controller to inside cover of housing using Velcro tape.
Be sure that controller doesn’t interfere with batteries when cover is
closed. Mount all the way to lower right corner to give room for CAT5
cables.
STEP 3: 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.
STEP 4: Install the enclosure to a pole using stainless steel hose
clamps or to a wall using lag bolts.
STEP 5: Install batteries into enclosure with Velcro straps.
STEP 6: Connect the Battery cables to Controller BAT terminals. Be
sure to observe polarity. Black wire connects to battery negative termi-
nal and BAT(-) terminal on the controller. When a fully charged battery
is connected, the Green LOA LED should light on controller. Power
should also be present at the POE output and the green secondary
power output.
STEP 7: Install CAT5 cable betw een POE in serter/Power Supply
inside building and the UPS Pro™ unit controller RJ45 IN connector. It
2
is highly recommended to
protect electronics from light-
ning/surge damage that the
power supply be plugged
into a surge protected outlet
inside the building.
STEP 8: 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. The
cover snaps into place.
There is one center security
bolt that can be used to secure the cover.
NOTE: If you have any unconnected battery connectors on battery
cable after installation, make sure they are wrapped with electrical
tape so that there is no chance of shorting the connector to any
metal. You can also remove the extra cable/connector permanently
by cutting the cable at the existing battery connection.

TECH CORNER
1.CONTROLLER: The controller turns off power to the load at 11V and
reconnects when the battery reaches 12V. This protects battery from
over-discharge and increases battery life and performance.
2. CAPACITY: Wit h a typical AP run ning 4W average. A singl e 12V
9Ah battery should be able to provide backup power for up to 24 hours
at room temperature. For cold temperatures the capacity is reduced by
20-30%.
3. VENTING: The enclosure is vented thru the wire feedthrus in the bot-
tom of the enclosure. Don’t make these airtight.
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-PL 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 ad justed to
optimize output. Optimum angle is based on location longitude and is
different if summer or winter. If the panel won’t have seasonal adjust-
ment, set for winter angle and leave this setting year round. See tycon-
power.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 batt ery first and disconnect the battery last. The controller should not be run without a bat-
tery 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. Note: Never store batteries for any length of time in a dis-
charged state or it will kill the battery.
9. BATTERY OVERDISCHARGE: We highly recommend hoo king 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-PL has a POE output which can be
6
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 sup-
ply 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-SW5-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.
