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 will void 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 under
warranty.
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 burns 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 (1-800-822-8837)
or visit www.rbrc.com for recycling information. Tripp Lite offers a complete line of replacement batteries at www.tripplite.com.
• Do not attempt to add external batteries to the 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 that doesn’t share a circuit with a heavy electrical load.*
* An air conditioner, refrigerator, etc.
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). Please Note! The UPS will not turn on automatically in the presence of live
utility power.

Quick Installation
(Continued)
STEP 3: Plug your equipment into the UPS: Select outlets will provide battery backup and surge protection; plug your computer, monitor and other critical devices here.* Select outlets will provide surge
protection only; plug your printer and other nonessential devices here. (See Basic Operation Section.)
* Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. 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. 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 “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

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.
•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 userimmediately 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
(Front Panel—Continued)
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 LCD
Status Screen can be rotated for easy viewing, regardless of whether the UPS is in a horizontal or vertical
position. To rotate the LCD 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 the UPS housing.
3a) “Input Voltage” Meter: This meter measures,
in real time, the AC voltage that the UPS system is
receiving from the utility wall outlet. Although the
3c
3
3d
LCD Status Screen
3e
3f
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.
3b) “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.
3c) “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.
3d) “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.
3e) “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.
3f) “FAULT” Icon: This icon will illuminate and an alarm will sound after a self-test to indicate the
battery-supported outlets are overloaded. To clear the overload, unplug some of your equipment from
the battery-supported outlets and run the self-test until the icon is no longer illuminated and the alarm
is no longer sounding.
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.
