Congratulations! on your purchase of the UPSPro 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 installing 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, 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 i s Solar Ready™ so a solar panel can be added at any
time to provide supplemental or full-time power. ®
STEP 2 : Install the controller to the inside cover of the housing using
Velcro tape. Be sure that the controller doesn’t interfere with batteries when
the cover is closed. Mount all the way to the 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 an enclosure with Velcro straps.
STEP 6 : Connect the Battery cables to Controller BAT terminals. Be sure
to observe polarity. The black wire connects to the battery negative terminal
and BAT(-) terminal on the controller. When a fully charged battery is
connected, the Green LOA LED should light on the controller. Power should also
be present at the POE output and the green secondary power output.
STEP 7: Install CAT5 cable between POE inserter/Power Supply inside
building and the UPSPro ® unit controller RJ45 IN connector. It is highly
recommended to protect electronics from lightning/ 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 the 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
- 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.
- CAPACITY: With a typical AP running 4W average. A single 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%.
- VENTING: The enclosure is vented thru the wire feedthrus in the bottom of the enclosure. Don’t make these airtight.
- DUAL INPUTS: The UPS-DC can be used with solar power alone or POE power alone or a combination of both.
- 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.
- SOLAR PANEL ANGLE: Solar panel angle should be adjusted to optimize output. The optimum angle is based on location longitude and is different if summer or winter. If the panel won’t have seasonal adjustment, set it for winter angle and leave this setting year-round. See tyconpower.com/learning_center for additional information. If you are planning to keep the solar panel angle fixed all year then set the angle to Your_Latitude * 0.9 +30
- BATTERY HOOKUP: Always connect the battery first and disconnect the battery last. The controller should not be run without a battery connected.
- 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 discharged state or it will kill the battery.
- BATTERY OVERDISCHARGE: We highly recommend hooking all equipment loads to the control 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.
- DUAL OUTPUTS: The UPS-PL 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 sup- ply 12VDC. This is useful for applications requiring 2 different voltages.
- 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.
