DC Wiring (continued)
Connection to the Battery
See Figure 2-10 on page 15 for the location of the DC
connectors.
See Figure 2-11 on page 18 for proper connection of
the battery cable.
See Figure 2-12 on page 18 for a photograph of the
battery cable caps.
1.
If using copper compression lugs on the battery cables,
slide the red cable cap onto a positive (red) battery
cable with the cap side closest to the DC connectors on
the Trace UR-UPS. Slide the black cable cap onto a
negative (–) battery cable with the cap side closest to
the DC connectors on the Trace UR-UPS.
If using aluminum mechanical lugs on the battery
cables, the cable caps may not fit. If this is the case, do
not use the cable caps and proceed with the following
steps below.
2.
Connect the red, positive (+) battery cable to the
positive (+) DC connector on the Trace UR-UPS.
3.
Connect this red, positive (+) battery cable to a
DC fuse and DC disconnect switch (not supplied).
4.
Connect another red, positive (+) battery cable to the
other end of the DC fuse and DC disconnect switch.
5.
Connect the negative (–) battery cable to the
negative (–) DC connection on the Trace UR-UPS.
6.
Connect the second, positive (+) battery cable
connected to the DC fuse and disconnect directly to
the positive (+) battery terminal. Ensure the cable’s
lug is flush against the battery’s terminal.
7.
Connect the negative (–) battery cable directly to the
negative (–) battery terminal. Ensure the cable’s lug is
flush against the battery’s terminal.
8.
Torque these connections according to the battery
manufacturer’s specifications.
9.
After all the connections are made, coat the terminals
with an approved anti-corrosive compound available at
a battery or automotive supplier. Only coat the
terminals
AFTER
the connections are made and
torqued.
10. If using the cable caps, slide the red and black cable
caps over the red (+) and black (–) connectors
(respectively) on the Trace UR-UPS.
NOTE: When connecting
the cables to the
unit, there may be
a brief spark and
snapping sound as
the unit’s
capacitors charge.
This is normal.
NOTE: Ensure the battery
terminals are
clean, without any
type of coating,
prior to connecting
the wiring/cables.
CAUTION:
Observe battery
polarity before
connecting the
units wires to the
battery. Failure to
do so will damage
the Trace UR-UPS.
This type of
damage is not
covered under
warranty.
WARNING: DO
NOT ALLOW
TOOLS TO TOUCH
THE CONNECTORS
WHEN INSTALLING
THE CABLES. ALSO
DO NOT ALLOW
THE ENDS OF THE
CABLES TO TOUCH
EACH OTHER AFTER
BEING CONNECTED
TO THE BATTERY
AND BEFORE BEING
CONNECTED TO THE
UNIT.
