Power failures or voltage fluctuations can cause
damage and downtime, which usually costs a lot of
time and money. The UB10.241 together with a
battery module offers a reliable and economical
protection for 24V applications.
The output is isolated from the input, which allows
an easy separation of buffered and non-buffered
branches. The energy of the battery will not be
wasted by uncritical consumers.
In times when the power supply provides sufficient
voltage, the DC-UPS charges the 12V battery. In
case the input power fails, the battery voltage will
be boosted to a 24V level and the energy will be
released in a regulated process to the load.
The included battery management incorporates a
battery charger, a deep-discharge protection and
an overload protection to achieve a long service life
of the battery.
The availiability of the DC-UPS is reported by lamps
and relay contacts. The DC-UPS automatically
checks the installation, the battery fuse and the
quality and presence of the battery. Diagnosis is
very easy, thanks to clear understandable indicators
and relay contacts for remote signaling.
Extensive protection features protect the unit
against wrong battery polarity, wrong battery
voltage, wrong input oltage or output overloads.

Input
Output
a) Connect the power supply to the „Input“ terminals of the DC-UPS
b) Connect either a 12V VRLA battery with a capacity between 3.9 and 27Ah or our battery module
UZK12.07 to the “Battery” terminals of the DC-UPS. Use wires not smaller than 2.5mm2(or 12 AWG)
and not longer than 1.5m (single length). Use a 30A fuse Typ ATO® 257 030 (Littelfuse) or the like.
The battery fuse protects the wires between the battery module and the DC-UPS. Furthermore, it
allows the disconnection of the battery from the DC-UPS, which is recommended, when working on
the battery or DC-UPS.
c) Connect the buffered load to the “Output” terminals of the DC-UPS. Uncritical loads can be
connected directly to the power supply.

7. REQUIRED SETTINGS BEFORE USE
Setting the buffering timer:
The unit is equipped with a buffering timer, which limits the max. buffer time to save battery capacity. The rotary
switch on the front allows the setting of a timer to the following 6 steps:
- Indefinite timer deactivated, buffering until the deep discharge protection stops the buffer mode.
- 10 Seconds
- 30 Seconds
- 1 Minute
- 3 Minutes
- 10 Minutes
If the DC voltage recovers within this period of time, the buffering stops immediately.
Setting the end-of-charge voltage:
The end-of-charge voltage depends on the battery temperature and has a major influence on the life of the battery.
The potentiometer on the front of the unit allows an adjustment of the expected battery temperature:
10°C end-of-charge voltage 13,92V ±0,1V
20°C end-of-charge voltage 13,74V ±0,1V
30°C end-of-charge voltage 13,56V ±0,1V
40°C end-of-charge voltage 13,38V ±0,1V

The Lifetime expectancy shown in the table indicates the operating hours (service life) and is determined by the
lifetime expectancy of the built-in electrolytic capacitors. Lifetime expectancy is specified in operational hours.
Lifetime expectancy is calculated according to the capacitor’s manufacturer specification.
MTBF stands for Mean Time Between Failure, which is calculated according to the statistically device failures, and
indicates reliability of a device. It is the statistical representation of the likelihood of a unit to fail and does not
necessarily represent a life of a product.
15. EMC
The unit is suitable for applications in industrial environment as well as in residential, commercial and light industry
environment without any restrictions. CE mark is in conformance with EMC guideline 89/336/EEC and 93/68/EEC and

22. INSTALLATION NOTES
Cable to connect the battery
Use wires not smaller than 2.5mm2(or 12 AWG) and not longer than 2x1.5m. Use a 30A battery fuse typ ATO® 257
030 (Littelfuse) or the like. The battery fuse protects the wires between the battery module and the DC-UPS.
Furthermore, it allows the disconnection of the battery from the DC-UPS, which is recommended, when working on
the battery or DC-UPS.
Mounting orientation
The power terminal shall be located on top of the unit.
Cooling
Convection cooled, no forced air cooling required. Do not obstruct air flow!
Installation clearances:
No special installation clearances are necessary
Intended use
This DC-UPS has been designed for use in panel board installations or other building-in applications where a suitable
mechanical enclosure shall be provided to fulfil local requirements.
Service parts:
The unit does not contain any service parts. If damage or malfunctioning should occur during operation, immediately
turn power off and send unit for inspection to factory!
