Safety

This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite UPS Systems.

UPS Location Warnings

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

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

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

UPS Connection Warnings

• Connect your UPS to a three-wire, grounded AC power outlet. Do not remove or modify the ground pin of the UPS's plug.

• Do not use two-prong adapters with the UPS's plug. Do not plug your UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS and void your warranty.

• If you are connecting your UPS to a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide clean, filtered computer-grade output.

• Use only the power supply cord provided with this unit. The power cord for the UPS is wired in accordance with National Electrical Code (NEC) specifications. Be sure that your wall outlet is also wired to these specifications.

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.

Battery Warnings

• 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: Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery replacement. Use tools with insulated handles and replace the existing batteries with the same number and type of new batteries (Sealed LeadAcid). Do not open the batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object.

• The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements or 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 batteries.

Installation

Mounting

Note: When removing the mounting bracket screws to change the mounting profile of your UPS, do not remove the screws which secure the UPS cabinet. Two of these screws are located at each end of the UPS, between the four holes used for the mounting brackets.

Rackmount

Your UPS’s mounting brackets are pre-set at a standard depth for 19-in. rack installation.* Additional bracket holes allow you to mount the UPS at additional depths. To adjust the depth: Remove mounting bracket screws; adjust brackets to the desired depth; replace screws.

Desktop/Under-Monitor

Remove mounting brackets (if desired). Place on your desktop or under your computer monitor. CAUTION: Do not place more than 50 lb. (22.7 kg) on your UPS.

Vertical Tower

Remove mounting bracket screws. Position brackets as shown in Figure 1 to serve as stabilizers for the UPS in a vertical position. Install 2 mounting screws in each bracket. Make sure the control and LED panel is UP when you are finished.

Wallmount

Remove mounting bracket screws. Position brackets as shown in Figure 2 to mount the UPS perpendicular to a wall along a straight, vertical line. Adjust bracket to desired distance from wall. Install 4 mounting screws in each bracket. Mount UPS to the wall.* Make sure the control and LED panel is UP when you are finished. Additional bracket holes allow you to mount up to two UPSs sideby-side on the same set of brackets (Figure 3).**

* Using screws and appropriate hardware (user supplied) to mount to rack, wall or other surface. ** CAUTION: each UPS weighs 15-1/2 lbs. (7 kg). Ensure adequate wall fasteners are used.

Connection

Plug one end of the

detachable line cord into your UPS's AC Inlet Receptacle and the other end into an electrical outlet.

Plug your computer,

monitor and other critical devices into your UPS's Battery-Supported Receptacles.*

Plug a printer or other peripheral equipment into your UPS's SurgeOnly Receptacle.

–Optional–

Using Tripp Lite cable, connect the serial port of your computer to the serial port of your UPS.** Load software and run installation program appropriate to your operating system.

Turn your UPS ON

by pressing the Main Power Switch, holding it for 3 seconds and releasing it.***

* Your UPS is designed to support only computer equipment. You will overload your UPS if you connect household appliances, laser printers or surge suppressors to the UPS's Battery-Supported Outlets. ** DB9 port connection is optional. Your UPS will function properly without this connection. *** The UPS will execute a 10-second self-test. The "Normal" LED will illuminate and the UPS will emit one beep to indicate normal operation.

Switch

1. Main Power Switch

This switch activates three separate UPS functions:

UPS Power

Press the switch, hold it for 3 seconds and release it to turn the UPS ON or OFF.*

Alarm Silence Press the switch and immediately release it to silence the UPS Alarm.

UPS Cold Start

Press the switch, hold it for 5 seconds and release it to turn your UPS ON and to use it as a stand-alone power source (operating from the battery without AC input).**

* The UPS will execute a 10-second self-test when you turn it on. The “Normal" LED will illuminate, and the UPS will beep once to indicate the UPS is turned ON. If the UPS alarm sounds and the "Replace Battery" LED illuminates, turn your UPS OFF, let your UPS charge its batteries for 12 hours and turn UPS back ON to repeat the automatic self-test. If alarm still sounds, contact Tripp Lite for service. 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.

** The "Backup" LED will illuminate since your UPS will operate from battery power.

Indicator Lights

The SmartPro 450 RT utilizes dual function Indicator Lights that alert you to different information depending on whether they illuminate constantly or are flashing. All Indicator Light Descriptions refer to when the UPS is connected to the wall outlet and turned ON.

2. "AC Normal/AVR" LED

This green light will illuminate constantly to indicate the utility-supplied AC line voltage at your wall outlet is normal. It will flash to indicate your UPS is automatically correcting high or low AC line voltage (AVR=Automatic Voltage Regulation). The longer the UPS is correcting voltage, the longer the LED will flash. This is a normal, automatic operation of your UPS, and no action is required on your part.

3. "Backup/Low Batt" LED

This yellow light will illuminate constantly to indicate your UPS is providing your equipment with battery power. (The UPS's Alarm will sound once every 15 seconds.) The light will flash when the UPS's battery is low and the UPS is initiating an automatic system shutdown. (The UPS's Alarm will sound once every second for approximately 2 minutes, depending on load, prior to shutdown).

4. "Fault/Overload" LED

This red light will illuminate constantly to indicate a short circuit in the UPS or other fault. The light will illuminate and the UPS's Alarm will sound constantly for 30 seconds before the UPS automatically shuts down. The light will flash (and the UPS's Alarm will sound once each second) when the UPS's capacity has been exceeded while it is operating from battery power. Immediately remove overload from battery-supported outlets.

5. "Replace Batt" LED

This red light will illuminate constantly if your UPS fails the automatic self-test (after you turn your UPS ON) and the UPS battery is less than fully charged. Turn the UPS OFF and let it charge for 12 hours and turn it back ON to perform a second automatic self-test. If the light continues to stay on, contact Tripp Lite for service.

6. "Fault" LED

This red light shines constantly when your UPS detects a wiring fault in your wall outlet (reversed phases, missing ground, etc.) Have an electrician fix the fault immediately. Your UPS will identify the presence of most ( ing faults.

Storage & Service

Storage

First turn your UPS OFF and disconnect its power cord from the wall outlet. Then disconnect all equipment to avoid battery drain. If you plan on storing your UPS for an extended period of time, fully recharge the UPS batteries once every three months by plugging the UPS into a live AC outlet, turning the Power Switch ON and letting the UPS charge for 4-6 hours. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for an extended period of time, they will suffer permanent loss of capacity.

Service

If returning your UPS to Tripp Lite, please carefully pack the UPS using the ORIGINAL PACKING MATERIAL that came with the unit. Enclose a letter describing the symptoms of the problem. If the UPS is within the 2 year warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt.
