Congratulations! on your purchase of the UPSPro™ outdoor
backup power system. Please take a moment to review this Qwik
Install Guide before assembly or battery installation.
DANGER! Avoid Powerlines!
You Can Be Killed!
When following the instructions in this guide take extreme care to avoid
contact with overhead power lines, lights and power circuits. Contact
with power lines, lights or power circuits may be fatal. We recommend
to install no closer than 20 feet to any power lines.
Safety: For your own protection, follow these safety rules.
▫Perform as many functions as possible on the ground
▫Do not attempt to install on a rainy, windy or snowy day or if
there is ice or snow accumulation at the install site or if the
site is wet.
▫Make sure there are no people, pets, etc. below when you are
working on a roof or ladder.
Recommended Tools: Phillips Screwdriver, 13mm and 10mm
Open End Wrench, 8mm nut driver, Flat Blade Screwdriver
Please help preserve the environment and return
used batteries to an authorized depot

Qwik Install
STEP 1: Add Grounding Wire
Between Door and Enclosure:
Remove plastic covers on cop-
per studs on inside of door and
inside of enclosure. Add jumper
wire between 2 copper studs and
use copper washers and nuts to
secure.
STEP 2: Add wire feedthrus into the bottom connector plate. Attach the
connector plate to the bottom of the enclosure using self tapping screws
provided.
STEP 3: Install hole plug in drain hole in bottom right corner of the en-
closure.
STEP 4: Mount the DIN rail to the door using screws provided. Mount
any extra equipment to the orange backplate and secure the backplate
in the enclosure. Note: The DIN rail can also be mounted to the orange
backplate if desired.
STEP 5: If pole mounting the
enclosure, assemble the pole
mount kit to the back of the enclo-
sure and mount the enclosure to
a pole using the 6 hose clamps
provided. The enclosure can also
be wall mounted using the 4
holes in the back of the enclo-
sure.

STEP 6: Insert the bat-
tery platform in the bot-
tom of the enclosure.
The battery platform
has cutouts so wires
can be routed under the
battery as needed.
STEP 7: Attach the green DIN Rail adapters to the charge controller
and 5 port POE switch using the screws provided. Clip the controller
and POE switch to the DIN rail. Connect Battery Cable to Controller.
Be sure to observe proper connection polarity.
STEP 8: Connect a two conductor wire between the back green con-
nector on the controller to the back green connector on the 5 port
switch. Observe proper polarity. Note: There are two +V and two GND
connections on the controller and the switch. You can use either con-
nection. The FG connection is for frame ground or earth ground. If your
grounding
scheme requires
it you can con-
nect the FG to
the enclosure
ground point
near the bottom
of the door. The
FG is common
to the RJ45
shield.

STEP 9: Install the batteries in the en-
closure. If using multiple batteries, con-
nect in parallel for 12V output or connect
in series for 24V output. 24V two batter-
ies and 24V four batteries configurations
are shown here:
STEP 10: If batteries are installed on their side make
sure to apply an insulator to the top of the battery termi-
nal to prevent the battery terminals from shorting to the
metal enclosure in case the battery shifts inside the en-
closure during an earthquake.
STEP 11: Disconnect the green front connector from
the controller. Connect the battery cables to the battery.
Be sure to observe polarity. Black wire connects to bat-
tery negative terminal and BAT(-) terminal on the controller. After con-
necting the batteries, plug the green connector into the controller. When
a fully charged battery is connected, the Green LOA LED should light
on controller and the LED’s on the 5 port switch should power up.
Note: The green connector on the controller will become unplugged
due to vibration and the weight of the cables. Be sure to add a zip tie or
other method to hold the cables and relieve the cable weight from the
connector.
STEP 12: If you have a solar panel, route the solar panel cable out thru
one of the feedthrus and install to the solar panel wire junction box. Be
sure to connect in the proper polarity, red wire to + and black wire to –.
Make sure connections are waterproofed.
STEP 13: Tighten all wire feedthrus. If they don’t tighten on a small
diameter wire, you can wrap some electrical tape around the wire in the
seal area to increase its diameter and make a better seal. The enclo-
sure needs some small amount of venting so be sure NOT to seal all
holes and feedthrus with silicon.

STEP 14: Make sure lid gasket is clean and free from any particles,
then carefully close the cover, making sure that wires are clear of the
seam and hinge area. Use the special key to close the two cover locks.

Additional Information you may find useful
1. CONTROLLER: The controller turns off power to the load at 22V and
reconnects when the battery reaches 24V. This protects battery from
overdischarge and increases battery life and performance.
2. CAPACITY: The UPSPro UPS-ST2424-UBNT is rated at up to 30W
power output. If you exceed this load the system may not function to
expectations.
3. VENTING: The enclosure is vented thru the wire feedthrus and vari-
ous hole plugs in the bottom of the enclosure. Don’t make these airtight
with silicon
4. BATTERY MAINTENANCE: The batteries used in the UPSPro sys-
tems don’t require any maintenance. They should last up to 5 years in
normal use.
5. BATTERY OVERDISCHARGE: We highly recommend hooking all
equipment loads to the controller voltage output. This output will discon-
nect the load if the battery voltage drops below 22V and this will protect
the battery from over-discharge. If batteries get completely discharged
because the equipment was connected directly to the battery, you will
reduce the battery life and you will most likely need to supercharge

them with a good quality 10A automotive battery charger. Once they
are back to a normal operating range, the integrated charge controller
will maintain the charge.
6. WIND TURBINE: A wind turbine can be added to this system at any
time. Wind Turbines are good sources of power, often in times when
the sun isn’t shining, like on stormy days. We like to think of a wind tur-
bine as uptime insurance. Tycon Power Systems offers small wind tur-
bines perfectly suited to augment the UPSPro systems. The TPW-400-

24 is a 400W 24V wind turbine. To add a wind turbine, it mounts to the
inside diameter of a 41mm ID pole. You will need to mount the control-
ler inside the enclosure and connect the output of the controller to the
batteries. The connection will be in parallel with the existing solar con-
troller connection.
