Steps for installation and deployment
The unit must be installed and deployed in the following order:
Installation of the device.
Connecting batteries.
Connection of load.
Connection of communication or to external alarm. If communication / external alarm is not required or if the device cannot communicate - skip this step.
Mains connection.
Commissioning
Caution
When the mains is connected, the unit is put into operation. Therefore connect the electrical network (mains) last to avoid faults on other equipment that is connected on load or over communication. The unit also does not register batteries if they are connected after the mains has been connected.

Fuse Replacement Warning (A)
There is a risk of damage if the fuse is changed to a larger one than what the unit is delivered with. The function of the fuse is to protect the connected load and cables against damage and fire. It is not possible to change the fuse to a larger one to increase the power output.
Fuse | Type |
|---|---|
15 A | T15A |
25 A | T25A |
Mains fuse for 24 V units up to 15 A | T2.5AH250V. Ceramic. |
Mains fuse for 24 v units over to 15 A | T4AH250V. Ceramic. |
Connect the mains to the motherboard (PCB)
Connect mains
Pull wiring through the cable entry on the cabinet.
If possible, secure the mains cable with cable ties where possible.
Electrical network cabling shall be kept separate from other cabling to avoid EMC interference.
Connect the mains cable to the terminal before it is put back on the motherboard. Secure F and N with cable ties for electrical safety.

PE | Protective earth |
Electrical mains connection 230 V AC on circuit board
Check that the marking on the circuit board matches the cable arrangement on the terminal block.
Connect load
Max current
The maximum current must not be exceeded. Max current is indicated on nameplate on the device.
If there are one or more connection cards (to increase the number of load outputs), load must be connected there and not on the main board.
Circuit board number | Explanation |
|---|---|
P2: 1 | Connection for load 1 + |
P2: 2 | Connection for load 1 - |
P2: 3 | Connection for load 2 + |
P2: 4 | Connection for load 2 - |
Connection of load 15 A - 25 A units
For units with a effect card, which is available to handle the higher currents (15 ampere and above), the load must be connected on an optional board.
See documentation for option board for how to connect load.
Warning
Load must not be connected to the motherboard if the device is a 15 A or 25 A, as it will be destroyed during commissioning. Motherboards that are faulty due to incorrect connections are not covered by warranty.
The effect card increases the current for 15 A and 25 A units.
Dip-switch - S1
The contact on the dip switch has two positions, ON and OFF.
Dip-switch S1 | Explanation |
|---|---|
1-4 | For address setting to external communication. |
1-2 | Sets time delay for mains failure alarm. (I2C) |
3-4 | Not used. |
5 | Sets the fan speed. |
5-7 | Battery capacity setting. |
8 | For software reset. |
Note
NEO cannot be connected to communication/UC.
Reboot to confirm changes in address, battery and alarm settings to parent system
After the dip-switch has been set for various parameters, the device's software needs to be restarted. This is for the new settings to be stored and take effect.
Important
Rebooting according to this procedure does not interrupt the output voltage.
Restarting the device software is done by turning Dip-switch 8: OFF-ON-OFF (PRO1)
Important
Reboot must be done every time a change is made to the device.
NEO cannot be connected to communication/UC.
Dip-switch - S1
The alarm can be set in time intervals of 0 seconds, 15 minutes, one hour or four hours.
Time | Dip 1 | Dip 2 |
|---|---|---|
0 seconds | OFF | OFF |
15 minutes | ON | OFF |
60 minutes | OFF | ON |
240 minutes | ON | ON |
Note on Dip switch 3
In previous versions of the motherboard, it was possible to use Dip-switch 3 to control whether the unit should alarm for fan failure or not.
This feature has been removed. Alarms for fan faults are given over communication.
Fan speed - setting, Dip-switch 5
Dip-Switch 5 sets the fan speed. (As of software V 4.27.)
Dip-5 | Mode | Temperature limit | Benifit | Drawback |
|---|---|---|---|---|
OFF | Normal mode (factory setting). | High speed above 30°C, restores normal mode when the temperature is 25°C. | Best for battery life. | Louder noise from the fan. |
ON | Office environment mode. | High speed at 35°C, restores normal mode when the temperature is 30°C. | Lower noise level. | Shortens the lifespan of the batteries. |
Battery capacity setting, Dip switch 5-7
The device is set for the battery capacity that the product can handle the most (largest batteries). If other batteries are to be installed, the battery capacity setting needs to be changed so that alarms and functions works as intended.
Setting the new battery capacity is done by keeping the tamper switch pressed while Dip-switch 5-7 is changed and the unit is commissioned.
Open the device and let it operate normally.
Press the tamper switch on the door frame. The device is now in write mode for battery capacity setting.
Set the connected battery capacity on the Dip switch, according to the table.
Release the tamper switch in the door frame. Battery capacity is now stored.
Batteries | Dip 5 | Dip 6 | Dip 7 |
|---|---|---|---|
7,2 Ah | OFF | OFF | OFF |
14 Ah | ON | OFF | OFF |
20 Ah | OFF | ON | OFF |
28 Ah | ON | ON | OFF |
45 Ah | OFF | OFF | ON |
60 Ah | ON | OFF | ON |
90 Ah | OFF | ON | ON |
120 Ah and above | ON | ON | ON |
Resetting data after battery change (Dip-switch 8)
In order for the system to measure the capacity of new batteries, the unit needs to clean up previous battery capacity. Dip-switch 8 makes a software set that, among other things, resets alarms.
Important
The action clears the memory on the card immediately.
Dip-switch 8 must be switched to: OFF-ON-OFF
Connection of PRO 1 with alarm card in NEO
 |
Connect load (PRO1)
Load is connected to circuit breaker and not to circuit board - see component overview.
To cope with increased power, power is supplied via power cards to circuit breakers. Therefore, loads must be connected to circuit breakers.
Caution
Maximum current must not be exceeded, see plate on the unit.
Alarm card for PRO1
Relay card - description, connections and alarm outputs.
All fault alarm relays must be in the drawn state. Make sure the connection between CO and NC is at closure. Put the measuring instrument on continuity measurement and test closure. This should then indicate a short circuit.
All relay outputs are normally live and give an alarm in the event of no voltage.
