Frequently Asked Questions - ReServ 1WPV Altronix

What battery size does the ReServ 1WPV support?

The ReServ 1WPV accepts a single 12V sealed lead-acid battery, typically up to 7Ah. Refer to the manual for exact capacity limits.

How do I know if the battery is charging?

A green BATTERY STATUS LED indicates the battery is charging. When the LED is off, the battery is fully charged or not connected.

Can I use the unit without a battery?

Yes, the ReServ 1WPV can function as a standard power supply without a battery. However, backup power will not be available during an AC outage.

What is the maximum output current?

The maximum continuous output current is 1A at 12VDC. Do not exceed this rating to avoid damage.

How do I mount the ReServ 1WPV?

The unit has keyhole slots for wall mounting. Use the included screws and anchors. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid mounting near heat sources.

What should I do if the power LED is off?

First, check that the AC input is connected and the outlet is live. Then inspect the fuse (if replaceable) and verify the battery connections. If the problem persists, contact Altronix support.

How often should I replace the battery?

Battery life varies, but it is recommended to replace the battery every 3-5 years to ensure reliable backup performance. Test the battery periodically.

Can I connect multiple devices to this inverter?

Yes, as long as the total current draw does not exceed 1A. Each device must be individually fused if required.

Is the ReServ 1WPV suitable for outdoor use?

No, the unit is designed for indoor use only in a dry, clean environment. Do not expose to moisture or extreme temperatures.

What is the warranty coverage?

Altronix provides a limited lifetime warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The battery is not covered under the lifetime warranty.

Installation Instructions:

This installation should be made by qualified service personnel and should conform to all local codes and in accordance with the National Electrical Code. This product contains no serviceable parts.

1. Remove back plate inside the enclosure by removing the four (4) mounting screws.
2. Mark and drill desired knockouts on the enclosure to facilitate wiring (Fig. 1, pg. 3).

Note: It is required to use UL Listed outdoor rated conduit hubs with a minimum outdoor rating of 4X.

1. Secure back plate inside enclosure with the four (4) mounting screws.
2. Mark and drill holes that line up with the top and bottom holes of the enclosure flange Mount unit in the desired location with the appropriate fasteners (Pgs. 7 and 8). Secure enclosure to earth ground.

Note: This product needs to be secured to the building/pole before operation.

1. Connect AC power mains to the terminals marked [L] and [N] (Figs. 2-3, pg. 5-6).

Use 18 AWG or larger for all power connections (Battery, output) (Figs. 2-3, pg. 5-6).

Use 18 AWG to 22 AWG for power limited circuits (AC Fail/Low Battery reporting) (Figs. 2-3, pg. 5-6).

Note: A readily accessible disconnect device shall be incorporated in the building installation wiring.

1. The LEDs on the power supply board will illuminate when AC power is present.

2. Measure output voltage before connecting cameras/devices to outputs. This helps avoiding potential damage.

3. ReServ3WPV only - Adjust voltage for every two (2) outputs using the corresponding trimpot(s) on the board prior to connecting devices.

4. Connecting cameras/devices:

ReServ1WPV - Connect 12VDC cameras/devices to terminals marked [P 1-4, N 1-4] (Fig. 2, pg. 5).

Connect 24VAC cameras/devices to terminals marked [5-16] (Fig. 2, pg. 5).

ReServ2WPV - Connect 24VAC cameras/devices to terminals marked [1-16] (Fig. 2, pg. 5).

ReServ3WPV - Connect 12VDC cameras/devices to terminals marked [P 1-16, N 1-16] (Fig. 3, pg. 6).

1. Connect batteries to the terminals marked [-BAT+] (Figs. 1-3, pg. 5-7). Use two (2) 12VDC batteries connected in series for 24VDC operation (battery leads included).

Use batteries - Casil CA1270 (12V/7AH), Genesis NP7-12 (12V/7AH) or NP7-12 (12V/12AH), Ultratech UT1270 (12V/7AH) or Ultratech UT12120 (12V/12AH).

1. Connect appropriate signaling notification devices to AC FAIL and BAT FAIL (Figs. 2-3, pg. 5-6) supervisory relay outputs.

2. The power LEDs on the unit for Outputs 1-16 will illuminate when AC power is present (Figs. 2-3, pg. 5-6).

Note: If any of the power LEDs are not illuminated, the cause may be due to the following:

a. AC mains and battery fail.
b. One (1) or more power output PTCs are tripped due to a short circuit or overload condition.
c. Unit damaged/defective.

To reset the PTC:

1. Disconnect corresponding camera/device connected to terminals marked [1-16] (Figs. 2-3, pg. 5-6).

2. Eliminate the trouble condition (short circuit or overload).

3. Allow 1 minute for PTC to cool off (reset).
4. Connect corresponding cameras/devices to terminals marked [1-16] (Figs. 2-3, pg. 5-6).
5. Power LEDs will illuminate indicating power has been restored to outputs (Figs. 2-3, pg. 5-6).

WARNING: This installation should be made by qualified service personnel and should conform to the National Electrical Code and all local codes.
