X1207 POE-powered UPS HAT

     

Raspberry Pi 5

 
  3   Power Supply USB-C 5V 5A   4   micro-SD card (≥16GB) x1  
  5   21700 4.2V rechargeable lithium-ion battery  x1          
     
 

* To ensure reliable operation, you must use a power source that meets the minimum specification: either an 802.3at (PoE+) switch or a 5V/5A USB-C power adapter. An insufficient power supply will prevent the system from starting and may result in a failure to charge the battery.

 
 
       hardware installation  
 
 
Step 1
   
 
  • Insert the M2.5×5mm screw upward through the base mounting hole, then thread the M2.5×13.5mm female-female spacer onto the screw until finger-tight. 

   
Step 2
   

Uses the pogo pin to connect the X1207 button to the Pi 5's PSW through-hole, providing the same power-on/off functionality. *Incompatible with Pi 4B/3B+/3B.*

 
  • Position the pogo pin into the designated location on the PCB.

 
  • Insert the lead into the through hole, ensuring it is straight and properly seated.

   
   
   
Step 3
 
  • Plugs the HAT directly into the Pi5's GPIO and PoE pin headers.

   
   
   

Step 4
 
  • Make slight adjustments to the pogo pin to align it with the through hole and ensure insertion.

   
 
   
   
Step 5
   
 
  • Secure the UPS HAT to the spacers with four M2.5x5mm screws.

   
   
   
   
 
Step 6
 
  • Compatible with unprotected 21700 batteries only (Max. length: 70.3 mm).

 
  • Double-check the polarity of the battery's connector to ensure that "+" is connected to "+" and "-" is connected to "-".

 
  • Polarity also printed on the PCB* - Never make a wrong polarity connection.
