PRECAUTIONS & SEQUENCING DURING INITIAL HOOKUP
a) Secure the Sentry in its designated spot. It is recommended that the unit
be placed on a shelf or mounted to a wall.
b) Make sure the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position and that the Sentry
power cord is not plugged into an AC outlet.
c) Connect the blade end of the red battery cable supplied with the unit
into the red terminal block located adjacent to the fan air intake port.
Tighten the set screw of the block till the cable is well secured.
d) Perform the sequence in (c) with the black cable into the black terminal
block located adjacent to the red one.
e) Slide the battery into its protective box and place into its designated
spot sufficiently close to the Sentry to allow the battery cables to reach.
DO NOT USE LONGER CABLES THAN THOSE SUPPLIED WITH
THE SENTRY as this may adversely affect the time available for
backup operation.
f) Connect the ring terminal end of the BLACK battery cable to the
battery NEGATIVE terminal.
g) Connect the ring terminal end of the RED battery cable to the battery
POSITIVE terminal. WARNING: WHEN DOING THIS STEP
THERE WILL BE A PERCEPTIVE SPARK AT THE TERMINAL
AS SOME COMPONENTS IN THE SENTRY CHARGE UP. THIS
IS NORMAL.
h) Once (g) is completed cover your battery box and secure the lid.
i) Plug the appliance into the Sentry.
j) Plug the Sentry into a wall outlet which has a minimum capacity of
15A.
k) Turn ON the ON/OFF switch located to the left of the fan air intake
port. This has been achieved when the bottom of the rocker has been
depressed and the top of the rocker reveals a red surface.
The ON/OFF switch only disables the battery backup function. The
Sentry always allows power from your power outlet to your appliance
regardless of the switch position. Therefor upon installation
completion, ensure the switch is ON or else there will be no backup
function. The switch is ON when the red portion of its rocker is visible.
l) Installation is complete.
