The UPoB is designed for industrial areas and must not be used in residential areas. You may only operate the UPoB within the scope of the technical specifications provided in this user manual.
User Manual UPoB General safety instructions The UPoB is only intended for use by qualified personnel. Read the user manual and espe- cially this chapter thoroughly before operating. CAUTION Electric shock due to damaged components Damages to the UPoB or the power cable can result in electric shock.
User Manual UPoB Product overview Identification The identification plate and the buffer capacity label are located on the bottom side of the UPoB. The identification plate contains information about: device type serial number configuration date of manufacture / last modification Configuration consists of three blocks: ...

User Manual UPoB Charge current (C) The charge current is included in the maximum input current of the UPoB. Position Charge current left 0.5 A right 1.5 A down Trigger level (D) If the trigger switch (1) is On and the remaining capacitance drops below the configured level, the UPoB sends a trigger signal.

User Manual UPoB Service (I) Use the Micro USB interface to update the firmware. For further information, refer to the cor- responding chapter of this user manual. The pin assignments conform to the USB standard. COM (J) The COM interface consists of: ...
Ensure adequate air circulation. Do not cover the UPoB with other objects. Mount the UPoB in such a way that it does not pose a hazard at any time. Connecting DANGER Electric shock due to improper connection Introducing the 4-mm plugs of the supplied power cable into low-voltage sockets can be fatal.

Connect the black connector of the power cable to 0 V or ground. Connect the red connector of the power cable to a DC power supply in the specified range. Turn on the power supply. The UPoB indicates its readiness by illuminating the On-LED.
User Manual UPoB Firmware update Firmware updates provide bug fixes and new features for the UPoB. For this, you need a PC which meets the following requirements. Supported operating systems: Microsoft® Windows® 7/8/10 (32 Bit or 64 Bit) Hardware requirements: ...
Never open the UPoB. Maintenance and repair must be carried out by X2E personnel only. In case of malfunctions or damages, please contact X2E via e-mail to get information about returning the UPoB: xoraya-return@x2e.de Disposal Within the European Union, the disposal of electrical devices is determined...
