STEP 11: When a battery is connected properly the BATT LED

will be green. Make sure that the Battery Type is selected correctly and

never change the battery type during charging or this could damage the

controller. Use GEL for GEL or AGM batteries. Use WET for standard

lead acid wet cells. Tycon recommends using only GEL or AGM batter-

ies for best performance.

The controller has battery overdischarge protection to disconnect the

load if the battery voltage (charge) is too low. The LOAD LED will be on

when the battery charge is within safe limits and the LOAD output is

turned on.

STEP 12: Switch off controller and connect AC to the controller.

Be sure to follow local regulations for outdoor 120/240VAC connec-

tions.

STEP 13: Connect the load to the controller LOAD terminals. Be

sure to observe proper polarity. Switch on the controller to activate the

charging.

STEP 14: Plug or 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 enclosure needs some small amount of venting so be sure NOT to

seal all holes and feedthrus with silicon.

STEP 15: Make sure lid gasket is clean and free from any parti-

cles, 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 10.7V

for the 12V model and 21.5 for the 24V model and 40V for the 48V

model. It reconnects when the battery reaches 12.6V for the 12V model

and 25.2V for the 24V model and 51V for the 48V model. This protects

battery from overdischarge and increases battery life and performance.

Note: The load will turn on immediately as soon as AC power is re-

stored.

2. CAPACITY: The UPSPro UPS-ST12 is rated at 144W load output.
