Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite UPS Systems. Failure to heed these warnings may affect your warranty.

UPS Location Warnings

•The UPS is designed for indoor use only in a controlled environment, away from excess moisture, temperature extremes, conductive contaminants, dust or direct sunlight.

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

•Do not mount unit with its front or rear panel facing down (at any angle). Mounting in this manner will seriously inhibit the unit's internal cooling, eventually causing product damage not covered underwarranty.

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.

•If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output.

Equipment Connection Warnings

•Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.

•Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This might damage the UPS and may affect 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 visit www.tripplite.com/UPSbatteryrecycling 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.

Quick Installation

STEP 1: Place the UPS in either a horizontal (“desktop”) or vertical (“tower”) position.

The UPS's housing is designed with sides that slope slightly in order to tilt the LCD Display up for easy viewing in either position—horizontal or vertical. As another aid to easy viewing, the LCD Display can be rotated. To rotate the display: carefully insert a small tool in the slots on the sides of the display to pop it out of the UPS housing; rotate the display, and snap it back into the UPS housing.

CAUTION: To safely balance the UPS when it is placed in a vertical (“tower”) position, make sure the LCD Display is located at the top of the front panel.

STEP 2: Plug the UPS into an outlet.

After plugging the UPS into a wall outlet, push the ON/OFF button for one second to turn the UPS on (see Basic Operation section). Note: The UPS will not turn on automatically in the presence of live utility power.

STEP 3: 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 nonessential devices here.

* Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the UPS if the total wattage ratings for all the equipment you connect to the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets exceeds the UPS’s Output Capacity. To find your equipment’s wattage ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 120 to determine watts. (Example: 1 amp × 120 = 120W). If you are unsure if you have overloaded the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets, run a self-test (see “MUTE/TEST” Button description).

CAUTION: The UPS must be plugged into a live AC outlet and turned on for 24 hours after initial installation to fully charge the UPS's internal battery. Your connected equipment will receive utility-supplied AC power (if present) immediately after the UPS is plugged in and turned on; however, your connected equipment may not receive full battery backup in the event of a blackout or severe brownout until the UPS's internal battery is fully charged.

Basic Operation (Front Panel)

ON/OFF Button

MUTE/TEST Button

“ON/OFF” Button

•To Turn the UPS ON: Press and hold the ON/OFF button for one second.* If utility power is absent, pressing the button will “cold-start” the UPS, i.e. turn it on and supply power from its battery.**

•To Turn the UPS OFF: Press and hold the ON/OFF button for one second.* The UPS will be turned completely off (deactivated).

*The alarm will beep once briefly after one second has passed. ** Runtime will be proportionate to the UPS battery's level of charge.

“MUTE/TEST” Button

•To Silence (or “Mute”) UPS Alarms: Briefly press and release the MUTE/TEST button. Note: Continuous alarms (warning you to shut down connected equipment immediately) cannot be silenced.

•To Run a Self-Test: With your UPS plugged in and turned on, press and hold the MUTE/TEST button for two seconds. Continue holding the button until the alarm beeps several times and the UPS performs a selftest. See “Results of a Self-Test” below. Note: You can leave connected equipment on during a self-test.

CAUTION! Do not unplug your UPS to test its battery. This will remove safe electrical grounding and may introduce a damaging surge into your network connections.

Results of a Self-Test: The test will last approximately 10 seconds as the UPS switches to battery to test its load capacity and charge. All LCD Display icons will be illuminated and the UPS alarm will sound.

Basic Operation (Front Panel) continued

•If the “FAULT” icon remains lit and the alarm continues to sound after the test, the batterysupported outlets are overloaded. To clear the overload, unplug some of your equipment from the battery-supported outlets and repeat the self-test until the “FAULT” icon is no longer lit and the alarm is no longer sounding. Note: The alarm beeps once per minute.

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.

•If the “REPLACE” icon remains lit and the alarm continues to sound after the test, the UPS batteries need to be recharged or replaced. Allow the UPS to recharge continuously for 24 hours, and repeat the self-test. If the icon continues to illuminate after repeated self tests, contact Tripp Lite for service. Battery replacement should only be performed by qualified service

personnel. If the UPS requires battery replacement, Tripp Lite offers a complete line of replacement batteries at www.tripplite.com. Note: The alarm beeps once per minute.

					LCD Status Screen
					The LCD Status Screen indicates a variety of
					UPS operational conditions. All descriptions
					apply when the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet
					and turned on.
					Note: The LCD will illuminate for 1 second when
					the UPS is plugged in, before it is turned on. The
	A				LCD Status Screen can be rotated for easy
					viewing, regardless of whether the UPS is in a
	G
					horizontal or vertical position. To rotate the LCD
	B
					Status Screen, insert a small tool in the slots on
					the sides of the screen to pop it out of the UPS
					housing; rotate the screen, and snap it back into
	C	D	E	F	the UPS housing.
					“Input Voltage” Meter: This meter measures,
	3
					in real time, the AC voltage that the UPS system
	LCD Status Screen				is receiving from the utility wall outlet. Although
	the meter may occasionally display input voltages which stray outside the range of standard computer
	tolerance (due to poor quality utility service), rest assured that the UPS is designed (through the use of
	automatic voltage regulation) to continuously supply connected equipment with stable, computer-grade
	output voltage. In the event of a blackout (power loss), severe brownout (low power) or overvoltage
	(high power), the UPS will rely on its internal battery to supply computer-grade output voltage.

“BATTERY CAPACITY” Meter: This meter displays the approximate charge level (in 20% increments) of the UPS's internal battery. During a blackout or severe brownout, the UPS will switch to battery power, the “ON BAT” icon will be illuminated and the charge level will deplete.

“AVR” (Automatic Voltage Regulation) Icon: This icon will illuminate whenever your UPS is automatically correcting AC line voltage without depleting battery power. This is a normal, automatic operation of your UPS, and no action is required on your part.

“REPLACE” (Battery Recharge/Replace) Icon: This icon will illuminate and an alarm will sound after a self-test to indicate the UPS battery needs to be recharged or replaced. Allow the UPS to recharge continuously for 24 hours, and repeat the self-test. If the icon continues to illuminate, contact Tripp Lite for service. Battery replacement should only be performed by qualified service personnel.

“ON BAT” (On Battery) Icon: During a severe brownout or blackout, this icon illuminates and an alarm sounds (4 short beeps followed by a pause) to indicate the UPS is operating from its internal batteries. Monitor the “Battery Capacity” Meter to determine the approximate battery charge level available to support equipment. During a prolonged brownout or blackout, the alarm will sound continuously (and the “BATTERY CAPACITY” Meter will show one 20% capacity segment shaded) to indicate the UPS's batteries are nearly out of power; you should save files and shut down your equipment immediately.
