Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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

UPS Location Warnings

• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight.

• For best performance, the ambient temperature near your UPS should be between 0º C and 40° C (between 32° F and 104° F).

• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation. Do not obstruct its vents or fan openings.

UPS Connection Warnings

• The UPS contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.

• Connect your UPS directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug your UPS into itself; this may damage the UPS.

• Do not modify the UPS’s plug. Do not use adapters that eliminate the UPS's connection to ground. Do not use extension cords between the UPS and the AC outlet. If necessary, a Tripp Lite surge suppressor may be used between the UPS and the AC outlet.

• If you are connecting your UPS to a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide filtered, frequency-regulated computer-grade output. Connecting your UPS to a generator will void its Ultimate Lifetime Insurance.

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 may damage your UPS and will void both the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.

Battery Warnings

• Except for battery replacement, your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your UPS for any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

• Battery replacement must be performed by qualified service personnel. Because the batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current, qualified service personnel should observe proper precautions: make sure the UPS is not in INVERT mode before performing battery replacement. Use tools with insulated handles and replace the existing batteries with the same number and type of new batteries (Sealed Lead-Acid). Do not open the batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object.

• Do not operate UPS without batteries except during hot-swap battery replacement.

• The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements or in the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD (1-800-728-5323) for complete recycling information. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.

• Do not attempt to add external battery packs.

Mounting

Matching Your Front Panel to Your Equipment

Your UPS ships with two front panels of different colors, one installed and one separate. If you want to swap your UPS’s front panel to better match the color of your other equipment, remove the installed front panel by first removing the four screws in its corners, then carefully removing the two screws that connect the UPS’s controls and LEDs to the inside of the front panel as shown in Figure 1. Connect the controls to the new front panel, then attach it to the UPS in place of the first.

Rackmount

Position brackets as shown in Figure 2 to serve as mounting ears for the UPS in your rack. Use 4 mounting screws to connect the UPS to each bracket. Mount the UPS in your rack with user-supplied screws and hardware appropriate to your rack. Have an assistant hold the UPS in position while mounting.

Desktop/Under-Monitor

Place on your desktop or under your computer monitor with the control and LED panel forward.

OFF: No indicator lights are on. The UPS is completely shut down for storage or shipping. If the UPS is connected to AC power, it will start up in STANDBY mode. If the UPS is not connected to AC power and the POWER button is pressed for two seconds, the UPS will “cold start” into INVERT mode.

STANDBY: The “ ” light is flashing. The UPS is receiving AC power and using it to charge its internal batteries, but its outlets are not active. Pressing the POWER button while the UPS is in STANDBY will put the UPS in the ON mode. Unplugging the UPS or cutting AC power while the UPS is in STAND-

BY will put the UPS in the OFF mode. ON: The “ ” light is on. The UPS is receiving AC power, charging its batteries

and delivering power to connected equipment. Pressing the POWER button while the UPS is ON will put the UPS in STANDBY mode. If AC power is lost while the UPS is ON (i.e. a blackout occurs), the UPS will switch into INVERT mode.

INVERT: The “ ” light is flashing. The UPS is powering connected equip- ment from battery backup. If AC power is restored, the UPS will switch to the ON mode. Pressing the POWER button while the UPS is in INVERT will put the UPS into the OFF mode. If the UPS is in INVERT and its batteries are drained, the UPS will switch to the OFF mode until AC power is restored, then switch to the ON mode.

SILENCE ALARM: Your UPS has three alarms. The first, the INVERT alarm, emits four short beeps every ten seconds when the UPS is in INVERT mode, to warn you that AC power has failed. The second, the OVERLOAD alarm, emits short, rapid beeps when the UPS is in INVERT mode if the total power draw of connected equipment exceeds the UPS’s output capacity, to warn you to reduce the load. The third, the LOW BATTERY alarm, emits a constant beep when the UPS is in INVERT mode and its batteries are very nearly depleted, to warn you that connected equipment must shut down. To silence the INVERT or OVERLOAD alarms, press the MUTE/TEST button. The LOW BATTERY alarm will only stop when the UPS switches to the OFF or ON mode.

SELF-TEST BATTERIES AND ALARMS: If your UPS is in the ON mode and has a load connected, you may test its batteries by pressing the MUTE/TEST button for two seconds. The UPS will switch to INVERT mode for several seconds. Normally, the INVERT alarm (four short beeps) will sound, indicating that the system is working properly. If the OVERLOAD alarm (short, rapid beeps) sounds, reduce the load on the UPS. If the LOW BATTERY alarm (a constant beep) sounds, your UPS’s batteries may need replacing or they may simply be less than fully charged. Let the UPS charge for 12 hours, then perform a second self-test. If the LOW BATTERY alarm sounds again, contact Tripp Lite for service. Do not unplug your UPS to test its batteries, or you will remove safe electrical grounding and may introduce a damaging surge into your network connections.

Indicator Lights (Front Panel)

POWER: Lights green when the UPS is receiving AC power. Illuminates constantly when the UPS is in the ON mode, indicating that batteries are charging and connected equipment is receiving filtered AC power. Flashes while in STANDBY mode to indicate that batteries are charging but connected equipment is not receiving power.

BATTERY CHARGE: This multicolored light displays 6 separate UPS battery charge conditions. It will turn from red (low) to yellow (medium) to green (full) to show you the level of battery charge. If the light is constant, your UPS is in the ON or STANDBY mode, operating from line power, and the battery is charging. Whenever this light is flashing, your UPS is in the INVERT mode (operating from battery) and its battery is discharging. If the light is flashing red, your UPS battery is running out of power; you should save files and shut down your equipment immediately.

OUTPUT LOAD: This multicolored light shows how heavy your UPS’s load is. Steady green indicates a light load, steady yellow a medium load. When the light is red, your UPS is supporting a load above 85% of its capacity. If the red light begins flashing, then your inverter is severely overloaded. Immediately remove load from the UPS until the light stops flashing.

REPLACE BATTERY: Lights red if your UPS’s self-test (initiated with the MUTE/TEST Switch) reveals a low battery charge or internal fault. If this light

turns on, let the UPS charge for 12 hours then perform a second self-test. If the light stays on, contact Tripp Lite for service.

–

All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into a wall outlet and turned ON.
