UPS Location Warnings

• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, conductive contaminants, dust or

direct sunlight.

• For best performance, keep the indoor temperature between 32º F and 104º F (0º C and 40º C).

• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.

UPS Connection Warnings

• Connect your UPS directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug the UPS into

itself; this will damage the UPS.

• Do not modify the UPS’s plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the UPS’s ground

connection.

• Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet. Your warranty will be voided if

anything other than Tripp Lite surge suppressors are used to connect your UPS to an outlet.

• If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide clean,

filtered, computer-grade output.

Equipment Connection Warnings

• Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems for life support applications in which a malfunction or failure

of a Tripp Lite UPS System could cause failure or significantly alter the performance of a

life support device.

• Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This might damage

the UPS and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.

Battery Warnings

• Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your UPS for any reason. There are

no user-serviceable parts inside.

• Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current. Observe

proper precautions. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. Do not open the UPS or batteries. Do not

short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing

battery replacement. Use tools with insulated handles. There are no user-serviceable parts inside

the UPS. Battery replacement should be performed only by authorized service personnel using the

same number and type of batteries (sealed Lead-Acid). The batteries are recyclable. Refer to your

local codes for disposal requirements or in the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD or

1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-8-228-8379) or visit www.rbrc.com for recycling information. Tripp Lite

offers a complete line of UPS System Replacement Battery Cartridges (R.B.C.).Visit Tripp Lite on

the web at www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to locate the specific replacement battery

for your UPS.

• Do not attempt to add external batteries to the UPS.

1. Plug the UPS into an outlet that doesn’t share a circuit with a heavy electrical load.*

* An air conditioner, refrigerator, etc.

NOTE! after you plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, the UPS will turn ON automatically. See

“ON/OFF/TEST” Button description in the Basic Operation section if you want to place the

UPS in any mode other than ON.

2. Plug your equipment into the UPS: Select outlets (see diagram) will provide battery backup

and surge protection; plug your computer, monitor and other critical devices here.* Select outlets

(see diagram) will provide surge protection only; plug your printer and other non-essential devices here.

* Your UPS is designed to only support computer equipment. You will overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for all the equipment you

connect to the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets exceeds the UPS’s Output Capacity (see Specifications). To find your

equipment’s VA ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 120 to determine VA.

(Example: 1 amp × 120 = 120 VA). If you are unsure if you have overloaded the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets, run a

self-test (see “ON/OFF/TEST” Button description).

“ON/OFF/TEST” Button

• To turn the UPS ON: if utility power is present, the UPS will turn ON automatically. If utility

power is absent, you can “cold-start” the UPS (i.e.: turn it ON and supply power from its batteries*)

by pressing and holding the ON/OFF/TEST button for one second.**

• To turn the UPS OFF: first, unplug the UPS from the wall outlet; then press and hold the

ON/OFF/TEST button for one second.** The UPS will be completely “OFF” (deactivated).

• To place the UPS in “Charge-Only” Mode: this mode enables battery charging, but disables

battery backup. WARNING: when the UPS is in this mode, it will not provide battery backup

during a blackout or brownout. This mode is only recommended for use in areas that experience

frequent blackout/brownout conditions and when connected equipment is not in use. Press and

hold the ON/OFF/TEST button for four seconds to place the UPS in this mode.** Press and

hold the ON/OFF/TEST button for one second** to take the UPS out of this mode.

• To Run a Self-Test: with your UPS plugged in and turned ON, press and hold the

ON/OFF/TEST button for one second.** The test will last approximately 10 seconds as the

UPS switches to battery to test its load capacity and charge. All LEDs will be lit and the UPS

alarm will sound. See LED descriptions below to determine the results of the Self-Test. Note:

you can leave connected equipment on during a self-test. Your UPS, however, will not perform

a self-test if you have placed it in “Charge-Only” mode.

CAUTION! Do not unplug your UPS to test its batteries. This will remove safe electrical

grounding and may introduce a damaging surge into your network connections.

* If fully charged. ** The alarm will beep once briefly after one second has passed and will beep continuously after four seconds have

passed (which signals transition to the “Charge-Only” Mode).

“ON/OFF” LED: this green LED lights continuously to indicate that the UPS is ON and sup-

plying your equipment with AC power either from a utility source or from the UPS’s internal

batteries. If the UPS’s alarm is sounding (4 short beeps followed by a pause), the UPS is operating

from its internal batteries. The LED flashes to remind you that you have used the

ON/OFF/TEST button to place the UPS in “Charge-Only” mode.

“OVERLOAD/CHECK BATTERY” LED: this red LED lights continuously after a self-test to

indicate the capacity of the battery-supported outlets has been exceeded. To clear the overload,

unplug some of your equipment from the battery-supported outlets; then use the ON/OFF/TEST

button to run a Self-Test. If the UPS continues to detect an overload, remove more equipment

and repeat the self test until successful. CAUTION! Any overload that is not corrected by the

user immediately following a self-test may cause the UPS to shut down and cease supplying

output power in the event of a blackout or brownout. The LED flashes to indicate the battery

needs to be recharged or replaced. If the LED flashes (and a continuous alarm sounds) during a

prolonged blackout or brownout, the UPS’s batteries are nearly out of power; you should save

files and shut down your equipment immediately. If the LED flashes following a UPS self-test

(after the UPS is turned ON), it may indicate that the battery needs to be replaced. Allow the

UPS to recharge continuously for 12 hours; then use the ON/OFF/TEST button to run a Self Test.

If the LED continues to flash, contact Tripp Lite for service. Should your UPS require battery

replacement, visit Tripp Lite on the web at www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to

locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.

Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected Outlets: Provide both battery backup and surge

protection. Plug your computer, monitor and other critical equipment into these outlets. NOTE:

DO NOT PLUG LASER PRINTERS INTO THESE OUTLETS.

Surge-Only Protected Outlets: Provide surge and line noise protection, not battery backup.

Plug equipment (such as a printer, scanner or fax machine) that does not require battery backup

during a utility power failure into these outlets.

USB Communication Port (side panel, not shown): connects to your computer for automatic

unattended shutdown. Use any USB cable to connect the USB port of your computer to the USB

port of your UPS. Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional. The UPS will work

properly without this connection. Install the PowerAlert UPS monitoring software program

appropriate for your operating system.

Tel/DSL Protection Jacks: stop surges on the phone or fax line. Built in splitter (one jack in and two

jacks out) allow you to simultaneously connect two devices sharing a single line. Connecting

your equipment to these jacks is optional. The UPS will work properly without this connection.

Battery Replacement Door (bottom panel, not shown): Under normal conditions, the original

battery in your UPS will last several years. Battery replacement should be performed only by

qualified service personnel. Refer to “Battery Warnings” in the Safety Section. Should your UPS

require battery replacement, visit Tripp Lite on the web at www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm

to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.

Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation,
