step up to 48V

[kitkat+]

Hi guys

Is there a way to step up the UltraLan MicroUPS to work with the U6 Lite which requires 48V?
If not, which Unifi would you suggest I use to work with the UltraLan?

You need to get a proper DC-AC inverter/battery setup. These micro ups' are no good for 48V DC.

what about 24V ?

I haven't seen any that support 24V either. Anything that uses 24V or 48V would kill a micro ups very quickly anyway.

You could use a boost converter such as this one.
deweyzeph I don't think the higher voltage requirement 'would kill a micro ups very quickly' as the access points usually require about the same power, and the higher voltage POE APs such as the U6 lite will just draw less amperes than say a AC-LR that runs on 24V, all use about 5-10W.
Edit: and you can use this as the POE injector

I used a boost convert and adjusted the output voltage to 48VDC (12VDC ->48VDC). Then connected it to a Single Port Gigabit Passive PoE Injector for my Unifi NanoHD.

I guess one needs to wire this up themselves. Do I have to make my own DC cable/jack?

A buck converter will do the trick

Why 48 volts?
Is it for Power Over Ethernet? (POE)

Yes, you would, but it's easy, only two wires and two connectors with the boost converter in between.

How much time do you get on the UPS ? Are you using the UltraLan?

 

[name_less]

I'm using a ratel 860P, which has the same capacity rating, and for a 4 hour load shedding schedule it drops to 1 - 2 bars (fully charge 4 bars). If your POE device is 15V/24V you don't need the boost converter, you just set it on the UPS and connect the lan cable directly.

I have a ONT, router and access point connected to the UPS.

would you mind showing a pic of how you wired the convertor?
Is there an LED or something on the convertor to show that you are outputting 48V ?
