IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS (SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)

This manual contains important instructions regarding the installation and operation of this device. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to unpack, install or operate this device

CAUTION! The battery can energize hazardous live parts inside even when the AC input power is disconnected.

CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover, except to service the battery. No user serviceable parts inside, except for the battery.

CAUTION! To avoid electric shock, turn off the unit and unplug it from the AC power source before servicing the battery or installing your equipment.

INSTALLATION

(QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY)

Please read this manual before installing this DC UPS as it provides important information that should be followed during the installation and repair of the DC UPS:

1.) The ParaShield 1224 is intended to be installed in a temperature controlled environment that is free of conductive contaminants. Select a location which will provide good air circulation for the DC UPS at all times. Avoid locations near heating devices, water or excessive humidity, or where the DC UPS is exposed to direct sunlight. Route power cords so they cannot be walked on or damaged.

2.) Remove the cover.

3.) Remove the battery.

4.) The wall mount screws must be the appropriate size for total weight of the UPS and the mounting structural material.

5.) Connect the battery negative (Black) wire to the battery negative terminal.

6.) Connect the battery positive (Red) wire to the battery positive terminal.

7.) Re-install the battery into the case.

8.) Connect the output wires and connector to the DC UPS.

9.) Connect the Communications Signal wires to the DC UPS.

10.) Re-install the cover.

11.) See the section “Operation” for the startup procedure.

OPERATION

1.) Plug the DC UPS power cord into the AC inlet on the DC UPS.

2.) Plug the DC UPS power cord into the wall outlet.

3.) Turn on the connected equipment.

4.) The DC UPS is ready for normal operation.

The DC UPS charges the battery when it is connected to utility power. It is recommended that the battery charge for minimum of 18 hours before use. The DC UPS may be used immediately, however, the “On Battery“ runtime may be less than normally

expected.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

(QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY)

This DC UPS has a hot-swappable battery. Hot-swappable battery means that the battery can be replaced without powering down the whole DC UPS system.

If there is a power interruption while replacing the hot-swappable battery, with the DC UPS on, the load will not be backed up.

CAUTION! Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes and may be toxic.

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode. The batteries in this UPS are recyclable. Dispose of the batteries properly. The batteries contain lead and pose a hazard to the environment and human health if not disposed of properly. Refer to local codes for proper disposal requirements or return the battery to MINUTEMAN in the packing material for the new battery.

CAUTION! Although battery system voltages are only 12VDC the battery system can still present a risk of electrical shock. The current capability of a battery is sufficient to burn wire or tools very rapidly, producing molten metal. Observe these precautions when replacing batteries:

1.) Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.

2.) Use hand tools with insulated handles.

3.) Wear protective eye gear (goggles), rubber gloves and boots.

4.) Do not lay tools or other metal parts on the top of the batteries.

5.) Disconnect the charging source before connecting or disconnecting the battery terminals.

6.) Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If the battery is, remove the source of the grounding. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in an electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock will be reduced, if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance.

Step 4. Connect the black cable to the battery negative terminal on the new battery.

Step 5. Connect the red cable to the battery positive terminal on the new battery.

Step 6. Install the new battery into the battery compartment. Step 7. Tighten the battery stripe to secure the battery. Step 8. Re-install the battery cover.

Step 9. The DC UPS is ready for normal operation. Step 10. Dispose of the old battery properly.
