Installation & Conguration
The following is a depiction of some different states of the SCP Cube:
The SCP Cube is
connected to a power
source.
Charging is in process.
The power output mode
is 12V.
The SCP Cube is
disconnected from a
power source.
It's exporting power to
the connected device.
The power output mode
is 24V.
The SCP Cube is
connected to a power
source.
It's fully charged.
The power output mode
is 24V.
2.2 Connection
A. Wiring the Power Input and Power Output
1. Before wiring, make sure the power source is disconnected.
2. Find the terminal block in the accessory box.
3. Use the wire-stripping tool to strip a short insulation segment from the
output wires of the DC power source.
4. Identify the positive and negative feed positions for the terminal block
connection. See the symbols printed on the panel indicating the polarities
and power range in voltage.
5. Insert the exposed wires into the terminal block plugs. Only wires with
insulation should extend from the terminal block plugs. Note that the
polarities between the wires and the terminal block plugs must be positive
to positive and negative to negative.
6. Use a slotted screwdriver to tighten the captive screws. Plug the terminal
block rmly, which wired, into the receptacle on the rear panel.

B. Connecting the SCP Cube to Your Industrial PC System
1. Connect the power input of your IPC to the power output of the SCP Cube.
2. Slide the PWR OUTPUT VOLTAGE switch on the SCP Cube to 24V or
12V according to the power input of the connected system.
3. To monitor the SCP Cube power status, connect the SCP Cube to your
industrial PC system via USB or COM port.
If you are using USB port, you need to install USB-to-COM port driver. See
next section for details.
C. Connecting the SCP Cube to power source
Connect the power input of the SCP Cube to the power source (DC 12~28V).
D. Grounding the SCP Cube
Remove the ground screw from the front panel. Then attach a ground wire to
the panel with the screw.
The following diagram illustrates a sample connection. Actual connection may
vary according to your industrial PC system.

2.3 Ensure Your PC is On Automatically When
Power Resumes
To ensure that your industrial PC restarts automatically after a power outage
is over, you have to enable the computer to "see" the power returning by
conguring the PC's BIOS settings as described below:
1. Open your computer's BIOS settings menu.
2. Look for the Power Settings menu. Ensure the "Power on after Power
Loss" (or similar) setting is set to "Power On" as the example below:

2.4 Monitoring Power Status
Prerequisites
The SCP Cube comes with a Windows-based monitoring utility to monitor the
SCP Cube power status. You can also use the utility to congure the shutdown
mode and timeout settings.
To use the utility, make sure your industrial PC system meets the following
requirement:
•Windows system with .NET Framework 3.5 or above installed.
