TrugyTexPwrMini P1 ManualPwrMini P1 · USER MANUAL
Your Online UPS and DC MicroGrid Hub. Start with first-time setup, and read the complete safety procedure before enabling high-voltage output.
01 · GETTING STARTED
To protect the battery and comply with transport requirements, PwrMini P1 ships in Factory Lock Mode. You only need to complete this procedure once.
Put P1 on a stable, dry, level surface. Keep all ventilation openings clear.
Turn to the rear panel and find the small hole labeled “UNLOCK.” Do not confuse it with the BIOS reset hole.
Insert the supplied SIM ejector tool straight into the hole. Press gently until you feel a clear mechanical click, then release. Do not hold it down.
Press and hold the front Power key for 2 seconds. If a unit has been stored for a long time and does not respond, connect USB-C power for at least 30 minutes, then repeat activation.
Activation tool
A thin needle or soft wire can bend before reaching the internal switch. A straightened, sturdy paper clip can be used if the supplied tool is unavailable.
02 · KNOW YOUR P1
Everyday controls are on the front panel. The dedicated Mac power connection, USB-C ports, and mounting hardware are located across the front and rear.
03 · DAILY CONTROLS
Use the Up and Down keys to cycle through:
From standby, hold the Down key for 2 seconds. Adjust buzzer volume (0 is mute), or view firmware version and serial number.
Hold Confirm for 2 seconds from any settings page to save and exit.
LED STATUS
Higher-priority states override the normal battery display.
04 · HIGH VOLTAGE OUTPUT
The dedicated Mac port carries high-voltage DC. Both activation and normal shutdown require two-stage confirmation. Steady orange LEDs mean HV output remains active, even while the display is asleep.
The High Voltage Confirmation screen begins a 3-second countdown.
A long beep sounds and the LEDs change from flashing white to steady orange.
Hold Confirm for 2 seconds, then confirm again during the 3-second countdown.
EMERGENCY STOP
If there is a short circuit, smoke, odor, or abnormal heat, do not navigate menus. P1 immediately cuts HV output, flashes red, and displays “EMERGENCY STOP.”
Recovery: Disconnect the load and external power. Identify and fully correct the cause before a complete power-off/power-on reset. If the fault returns, stop using P1.
COOL & CLEAN
P1 routes air around the Mac mini’s existing intake and exhaust while helping remove its own heat. Align the locating features carefully and leave clear space around every vent.
05 · NATIVE MACOS INTEGRATION
P1 reports UPS status through standard USB HID, with no third-party driver. macOS can show battery status and perform a graceful shutdown during an outage.
Recommended: Show battery status in the menu bar and perform one controlled external-power disconnect test before relying on the system.

Dedicated Mac port efficiency: approximately 92–95% by eliminating DC-AC inversion.
THREE LAYERS OF DEFENSE
Port-level physical fuses, TI BMS active monitoring, and cell-level hardware safeguards work together. They do not replace proper use: never open the enclosure, short a port, or use an incompatible cable.
07 · TROUBLESHOOTING
Confirm that the environment is safe before troubleshooting. If a red fault persists or you notice smoke, odor, or overheating, stop and contact technical support.
Confirm that you are using the hole labeled UNLOCK. Use a rigid SIM ejector or sturdy paper clip; a thin needle or soft wire may bend before it reaches the internal switch.
Long storage may leave the battery below its wake threshold. Connect USB-C power for at least 30 minutes, keep it connected, repeat the UNLOCK step, then hold Power for 2 seconds.
Use a data-capable USB-C cable on the Console port, not a charge-only cable. Reconnect it, check Energy Saver / Battery in System Settings, and try another USB-C / Thunderbolt port.
Complete both confirmations: hold Confirm for 2 seconds, then press Confirm again during the 3-second countdown. Successful activation produces a long beep and four steady orange LEDs.
HV output is locked off. Disconnect external power and every load, then check for a short, over-temperature, liquid ingress, or damaged cable. Reset only after the cause has been fully corrected.
