Easily DC IPS/UPS Making With AutoCut Charging Module (2024)
In this tutorial, I separated into two parts.
1. Auto Charge Controller Module Connection
What You'll Need:
- 1. AutoCut Charging Module
- 2. XH-631 Auto Charge Controller
- 3. Charging Unit (12V, 1000mAh)
- 4. Transformer with biasing
- 5. Buck Converter 2596
- 6. Battery (Lead-acid or Lithium-ion)
- 7. DC to AC Inverter (if building UPS)
- 8. DC Loads (devices you want to power)
- 9. Basic Tools (screwdriver, wire cutter/stripper, soldering iron, etc.)
- 10. Electrical Wires
- 11. Battery Enclosure (optional but recommended for safety)
Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Planning: Before you begin assembling your IPS/UPS, carefully plan out your setup. Determine the capacity of the battery based on your power requirements and the duration you want your system to run during outages.
2. Assembling the Components: a. Start by placing the XH-631 Auto Charge Controller and the AutoCut Charging Module in easily accessible locations. b. Connect the charging unit (12V, 1000mAh) to the input terminals of the XH-631 Auto Charge Controller. c. Connect the Transformer with biasing to the XH-631 Auto Charge Controller as per the manufacturer's instructions. d. Connect the positive terminal of the battery to the B+ terminal on the AutoCut module and the negative terminal to the B- terminal. e. Connect the Buck Converter 2596 to regulate the voltage output if necessary. f. If building a UPS, connect the DC to AC inverter to the output terminals of the battery. Ensure proper polarity. g. Connect your DC loads to the output terminals of the AutoCut module or UPS.
3. Testing: Perform a comprehensive test to ensure all components are functioning correctly. Test both normal operation and the response to power outages.
4. Enclosure (Optional): Consider placing all components inside a suitable enclosure for safety and aesthetics. Ensure proper ventilation, especially if using lead-acid batteries.
5. Final Checks: Double-check all connections to ensure they are secure and properly insulated to prevent short circuits. Verify that the XH-631 Auto Charge Controller and AutoCut module are configured according to your preferences for charging and voltage cutoff parameters.
6. Deployment: Once you've completed testing and made any necessary adjustments, deploy your DIY DC IPS/UPS in its designated location. Enjoy uninterrupted power whenever it's needed!

Safety Tips:
- 1. Always exercise caution when working with electricity. Turn off the power before making any connections.
- 2. Ensure all wires and terminals are adequately insulated to prevent electric shocks or short circuits.
- 3. Handle batteries, especially lead-acid ones, with care and in well-ventilated areas to avoid exposure to harmful gases.
