Knowing Your UPS
Brainy Eco Solar Home UPS is a solar hybrid system with Intelligent
Charging Sharing Feature. The battery charges through both Solar and
Grid by sharing the Charging Current.
In Charging Mode, Brainy Eco continuously monitors the state of Battery
Voltage, Solar Power Output and the Load. When the Battery Voltage
falls below a preset level, Brainy Eco transfers the load automatically
to the Grid/DG Power and also Charges the Batteries through the Grid
Charger. When the Batteries are charged to the preset level, the Grid/
DG Power Supply automatically disconnects from the system and the
load runs through Brainy Eco.
Features:
Over Current Protection
Charging Current from the Solar PV array is continuously monitored.
If the Charging Current exceeds 32 Amperes, then Charge Controller
stops further Charging. The Charge Controller restores the Charging
Process after 3.5 minutes automatically.
Solar Priority
Reverse Current Flow Protection
Brainy Eco is designed to give priority to the Solar Power and uses Grid/
DG Power only when the Solar Power/Battery Charge is Insufficient to
meet the load requirements.
Solar Charge Controller blocks any flow of Current from the battery to
Solar PV array during the night.
PV Panel Reverse Connection Protection
Powerful Built-In 30 Ampere Solar Charge Controller
The function of the In-built Solar Charge Controller is to charge the
Battery Bank till it is charged to its full capacity and prevent the battery
from getting overcharged.
Su-Kam’s 30 Ampere Built-In Charge Controller charges the battery and
runs the load at the same time. It is equipped with DT-6S 6 Stage Battery
Charging Technology .It recharges the battery faster and more efficiently
than the regular Chargers. Faster Recharging increase the performance
of the system by storing more output from the Photovoltaic Panel array.
The Charge Controller allows the maximum current generated in the PV
Panel to flow through the battery bank. It further regulates the charging
current to protect the battery bank from getting overcharged.
When PV Positive and negative wires are reversed at PV terminals then
only LED glows at the back panel.
Solar Photovoltaic Array
Panel Range- (80W-500W)
Intelligent Battery Charging Sharing
The maximum Battery Charging is done through Solar to reduce the
Power used from the Grid, thus saving Money on Electricity Bills.
If Solar can provide 10 Ampere Charging Current, then Grid Charging
Current will limit automatically at 5 Ampere. (Max. Battery Charging
Current Value is 15 Amp-Solar/Solar+ Grid/Grid)

Safety Notes
Before proceeding further, kindly go through the safety
instructions carefully.
General Precautions:
 Before using the Solar Home UPS, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the Brainy Eco, the batteries & all
appropriate sections of this instruction manual.
 not expose Brainy Eco to rain or liquids of any type. This product is designed for interior use only.Do
 not disassemble Brainy Eco on your own; take it to the Su-Kam Service center when service or repair is required.Do
Disassembling of the product by unqualified personnel can cause electric shock or fire hazard & harm your Solar Home UPS.
 reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect all wiring before cleaning.To
 WARNING Risk of Explosive Gases
WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD ACID BATTERY MAYBE DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE
EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL OPERATION.
Provide ventilation to outdoors from the battery compartment.
The battery enclosure should be designed to prevent accumulation & concentration of hydrogen gas in “pockets” at the top
of the compartment. Vent the battery compartment from the highest point. A sloped lid can also be used to direct the flow to
the vent’s opening location. To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow all the instructions given by the battery supplier or
any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the batteries.
 not cover Brainy Eco with any cover or cloth.Do
 not install Brainy Eco on or near any flammable material (plywood, chemicals, gasoline etc.)Do
 extra cautious when working with metal tools on and around batteries. It could short-circuit the batteries or otherBe
electrical parts, producing a spark that could cause an explosion.
16

Important Safety Instructions / E-waste info
The output side of Brainy Eco should never be connected to a generator or incoming utility power.
This condition is far worse than a short circuit. If the unit survives this condition, it will shut down until correction is made.
Note: Never disconnect the battery cables while The Solar Home UPS is delivering power or battery charger is operating. The Power
Active Switch has no effect on the charger; it turns off only the power output during backup mode.
To disconnect the batteries for service:
a) Turn-off the power switch b) Disconnect all AC power
c) Disconnect all the battery cables
Special Notices:
Do not switch-on heavy load appliances like TV, refrigerators, water pump, desert cooler etc. when Brainy Eco is running on battery
backup. This may cause rebooting of your computer.
Avoid connecting the stabilizer between utility power & Solar Home UPS. The AVR of stabilizer may cause your computer to reboot.
We recommend that you have point to point wiring for the Solar Home UPS.
Grounding Instructions:
Brainy Eco must be connected to a grounded, permanent wiring system.
As per Government of India’s E-Waste (Management and Handling)
