4. Package Contents

The standard package for the Teltonika BAT120 includes:

  • Teltonika BAT120 Uninterrupted Power Supply Unit
  • Mounting hardware (e.g., screws for surface mounting, clips for DIN rail mounting - exact items may vary)
  • Quick Start Guide (not included in this manual, but typically provided with the product)

5. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to set up your Teltonika BAT120 UPS:

  1. Choose Mounting Location: Select a suitable location for the BAT120. It can be mounted on a DIN rail or directly on a surface using appropriate screws. Ensure the location is dry, well-ventilated, and within reach of power sources and the device it will power.
  2. Connect Power Input: Connect your UK PSU (9-30VDC) to the IN PWR 4-pin DC connector on the BAT120. Ensure the connection is secure.
  3. Connect Power Output: Connect the device you wish to power (e.g., Teltonika router) to the OUT PWR 4-pin DC connector on the BAT120. The output voltage will be 12VDC when operating from the battery.
  4. Power On: Locate the On/Off slider switch on the unit and slide it to the 'On' position.

6. Operation

Once connected and powered on, the Teltonika BAT120 operates automatically to provide uninterrupted power.

6.1. Power Modes

  • Passthrough Mode: When external power is supplied to the IN PWR port, the BAT120 passes through the input voltage (9-30 VDC) to the OUT PWR port and simultaneously charges its internal battery.
  • Battery Mode: In the event of a power outage or if the input power is disconnected, the BAT120 automatically switches to battery mode, providing a stable 12VDC output to the connected device for up to 6 hours, depending on the load.

6.2. LED Indicators

The BAT120 features several LED indicators to show its status:

  • IN PWR LED: Indicates the status of the input power.
  • OUT PWR LED: Indicates the status of the output power.
  • 4 x Power Status LEDs: These LEDs indicate the charge level of the internal battery.

6.3. Alarm Output

The BAT120 includes an alarm output (1 x Active HIGH output, max 12 V, 2.5 mA) that can be configured with a compatible Teltonika router to trigger custom alerts, such as notifications for power outages.

7. Maintenance

The Teltonika BAT120 is designed for minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure its longevity:

  • Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the unit with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the unit is disconnected from power before cleaning.
  • Ventilation: Regularly check that the ventilation openings are clear of dust and debris to prevent overheating.
  • Battery Life: The internal Lithium-Ion battery has a finite lifespan. Over time, its capacity may decrease. If you notice a significant reduction in backup time, the unit may need servicing by qualified personnel.
  • Storage: If storing the unit for an extended period, ensure it is fully charged and stored in a cool, dry place. Recharge periodically to maintain battery health.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your BAT120, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
No power output from BAT120.Unit is off; Input power issue; Battery depleted; Overcurrent protection triggered.
  • Ensure the On/Off switch is in the 'On' position.
  • Verify the input power source is active and connected correctly to the IN PWR port.
  • Allow the battery to charge if depleted.
  • Disconnect the output device, wait a few moments, and reconnect to reset overcurrent protection. Ensure the connected device does not exceed 1.8A.
Battery does not charge.Input power issue; Faulty unit.
  • Check the input power connection and ensure the power source is functioning.
  • Verify the IN PWR LED is illuminated.
  • If the issue persists, contact Teltonika support.
Shorter than expected backup time.High load on output; Battery degradation.
  • Ensure the connected device's power consumption is within the BAT120's limits (Max 22 W / 1.8 A).
  • Over time, battery capacity naturally degrades. Consider replacing the unit if backup time is significantly reduced and affects operation.

For further assistance, please refer to the official Teltonika Networks documentation or contact their technical support.
