Section 3. Installation

Home UPS Placement

Note: Once the unit has been completely installed, it is not desirable to move it.

Location selection - Ensure the area where the unit is to be placed is not in direct sunlight (surfaces may become hot). Further ensure the unit is placed in a dry area away from sources of liquids, and that the vents on each side have at least 15 cm (6 inches) of unobstructed clearance.

Battery Connection

Connect the red battery terminal lead (protrudes from the lid) to the positive (+) terminal of the battery and connect the black battery terminal lead (protrudes from the lid) to the negative (-) terminal.

Install Home UPS

Caution: Installation of the Home UPS must be performed by a licensed and qualified electrician. Failure to comply may result in equipment damage, and may also void the Warranty.

Figure 2 shows a typical home wiring scenario after installation of the Home UPS Assembly wiring.

Note: The Home UPS can serve inductive loads (fluo rescent lamps, ceiling and table fans), resistive loads (incandescent lamps), and SMPS loads (television).

Caution: Connecting the Home UPS to a branch circuit that exceeds 16 amps may result in equipment damage.

Note: Home wiring to power the desired loads should be routed and connected to a single branch circuit providing a maximum of 16 amps to the circuit, Wiring must be in accordance with local electric codes and standards. Connected loads must not exceed 360 watts when the Home UPS is On Battery.
