GENERAL APPLICATION NOTES AND WARNINGS
WARNING: THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES EXIST INSIDE THE UNIT.
SERVICE AND REPAIR MUST BE REFERRED TO QUALIFIED FACTORY PERSONNEL.
NOTE: The individual user should take care to determine, prior to use or installation, whether this device is suitable, adequate or safe
for the use intended. Since individual applications are subject to great variation, DuraComm makes no representation or warranty as to
the merchantability, suitability or fitness of these units for any specific application.
NOTE: The precision regulated power supplies operate internally from voltages in excess of 12/24/48 volts. In rare cases, voltage
spikes or transients on the AC power line, or over heating, may cause a component failure in the power supply. Overloading the output
will cause the over current feature to operate. In either case, the cause must be determined and corrected. Failures require
investigation as to cause and/or repair of the unit.
INSTALLER NOTES
NOTE: The outputs are NOT referenced to the chassis. The Modular System can be used either positive or negative ground.
NOTE: DO NOT block any of the cooling vents on the sides or top and always allow adequate ventilation by not installing the unit
inside tightly closed spaces. Physical mounting position is not critical but the cooling vents and the internal thermostatically controlled
cooling fans must not be blocked.
WARNING: Be certain to locate the battery in a well ventilated area. During recharging, small amounts of hydrogen gas may be
produced. Hydrogen gas is highly flammable and under the right conditions, explosive.

RU2-1524-UPS Wiring Layout
This system setup will provide continuous power to the load and maintain battery bank with smart charger while AC power is on. There
is a seamless transfer of the load to the battery when the AC power goes off. The LVD will disconnect the battery if the voltage drops
below 21.5 VDC. The battery reconnects once AC power is restored and voltage reaches 25.0 VDC.
CONDUCTOR PRETREATMENT
All kinds of copper conductors can be clamped without treatment. DO NOT solder tin stranded conductors. The solder yields and
fractures under high pressure. The result is increased contact resistance and excessive temperature rise. Additionally, corrosion has
been observed due to the fluxes. Notch fractures at the transition from the rigid tinned part to the flexible conductors are also possible.
Ferrules can be used as a protection when wiring stranded conductors. Copper ferrules prevent the current transfer from being
influenced by dissimilar metals and remove the risk of corrosion. Always use the correct tool to crimp the ferrule.

LIMITED WARRANTY
DuraComm warrants to the initial end user, each power supply manufactured by DuraComm to be free from defects in
material and workmanship, when in normal use and service for a period of three year from the date of purchase, from an
authorized DuraComm dealer.
Should a product manufactured by DuraComm fail or malfunction due to manufacturing defect, or faulty component,
DuraComm, at its option, will repair or replace the faulty product or parts thereof, which, after examination by
DuraComm, prove to be defective or not operational according to specifications in effect at the time of sale to the initial
end user. The product that is replaced or repaired under the provisions of this warranty, will be warranted for the
remainder of the original warranty period, only, and will not extend into a new three year warranty period.
The limited warranty does not extend to any DuraComm product which has been subject to misuse, accidental damage,
neglect, incorrect wiring not associated with manufacture, improper charging voltages, or any product which has had the
serial number removed, altered, defaced, or changed in any way.
DuraComm reserves the right to change, alter, or improve the specifications of its products at any time, and by so doing,
incurs no obligation to install or retrofit any such changes or improvements in or on products manufactured prior to
inclusion of such changes.

warranty service must be accompanied by proof of purchase, such as bill of sale with purchase date identified. DuraComm
is not responsible for any expenses or payments incurred for the removal of the product from its place of use,
transportation or shipping expenses to the place of repair, or return expenses of a repaired or replacement product to its
place of use.
