Connecting the Unit - Wiring Diagrams - SDU DC UPS B-Series with SDU 24-BATB
WARNING - Risk of electric shock and energy hazard!
Refer to the Safety Instruction Sheet provided with the products.
This device receives input power from multiple sources. Disconnect the DC UPS input from the AC to
DC power supply connection and the DC Battery Modules before wiring.
Follow all local, National Electrical Code®(NEC®) and CEC wiring and installation codes.
Operate the UPS only from a properly grounded (earthed) DC supply.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover. For service, contact a
qualified technician.
Wiring/Torque Specification: Use only 90degreeC rated copper wire
Note: Use a Phillips head screwdriver to release the wire from the terminal. Other tools may damage the push terminal.

Connections:
1. Use the polarized cable to connect the power module to the battery module.
2. Connect the power module dc input connector to the 24 Vdc input power source.
3. Hardwire the load to the power module output terminal connector.

SDU DC UPS B-Series with SDU 24-BATEM
WARNING - Risk of electric shock and energy hazard!
Disconnect the DC input’s AC supply connection before wiring. Operate the UPS only from a properly
grounded (earthed) DC supply. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover. For
service, contact a qualified technician.
WARNING - Risk of explosion.
The SDU 24-BATEM Battery Module IS NOT FOR USE IN A HAZARDOUS LOCATION ENVIRONMENT. Do
not install the SDU 24-BATEM in a hazardous location environment.

Connections:
1. Use the polarized cable to connect the power module to the battery module.
2. Connect the power module dc input connector to the 24 Vdc input power source.
3. Hardwire the load to the power module output terminal connector.

Page: 10
Operation
Turning ON the UPS (Normal Mode)
1. Ensure that the DC input supply is de-energized prior to wiring the DC UPS system.
2. Ensure that the Battery Module meets the charge schedule.
3. Ensure that the Remote ON/OFF toggle switch for R1 and R2 is open (if using Remote ON/OFF Bypass
Jumper, make sure it is disconnected).
4. Connect the DC input to the DC UPS module; connect the Battery Module to the UPS module; then,
connect the load to the UPS module.
5. Energize the DC input supply.
6. Enable the DC UPS by shorting R1 and R2 through the Remote ON/OFF toggle switch (if not using toggle
switch, insert the Remote ON/OFF Bypass Jumper).
7. This will start the UPS in Normal Mode.
Note: If the DC input supply is not present, the DC UPS will enable Battery Mode. The load will be powered
by the battery module until reaching cutoff voltage (21.6V). Please ensure switch is OFF or ON/OFF Bypass
Jumper is removed when UPS is not in use to prevent draining of the battery.
Turning OFF the UPS
1. Disable the DC UPS by disconnecting R1 and R2 through turning off the Remote ON/OFF toggle switch (if
not using a toggle switch, remove the Remote ON/OFF Bypass Jumper).
2. De-energize the DC input supply.
3. Disconnect the DC input supply, Battery Module, and the load.
Remote ON/OFF
Turns UPS output on when terminals R1 and R2 are shorted.
Figure 12
NOTE: The Remote ON/OFF is connected to the DC UPS internal signal ground and it should be isolated from
the chassis ground potentials that may cause unit malfunction or damage. Isolate the Remote Sense wiring
away from high current, high voltage, and high frequency components to prevent any magnetically coupled
noise on the Contact Terminal Connections.
Self-Testing
The DC UPS employs an Automatic Self-Test feature. This feature checks the Battery Module’s health and
serves as indicator if the battery is still in good condition. The rst Self-Testing will be activated 5 hours after
commissioning. The subsequent Self-Testing will happen every 1 month thereafter. If the Battery Health fails
the Self-Test, the Battery LED will display Solid Red.
