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 0° C and 40° C (between 32° F and 104° F).

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

UPS Connection Warnings

• Connect your UPS to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not modify the UPS's plug in a way that will eliminate the connection to ground. Do not use adapters that eliminate the UPS's ground line.

• 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.

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 to the output of your UPS. This may damage your UPS and will void both 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.

• 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. 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 48 cm. (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 22.7 kg. (50 lbs.) 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 7 kg. (15-1/2 lbs.). Ensure that adequate wall fasteners are used.

Switch

1. Main Power Switch

This switch activates three separate UPS functions:

UPS Power

Press the switch, hold it for 3 seconds until you hear a beep then release it during the beep to turn the UPS ON or OFF.*

Alarm Silence

When the on battery alarm is sounding, press this switch and

immediately release it to silence the UPS Alarm.

UPS Cold Start

In the absence of AC input, press this switch, hold it for 3 seconds and then 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 at 1 (773) 869-1234. 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 RTI uses dual function Indicator Lights. These lights can indicate more than one UPS or power condition, depending on whether they illuminate constantly or flash. 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 when the utility-supplied AC line voltage at your wall outlet is normal. It will flash when your UPS is automatically correcting high or low AC line voltage using AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation). 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. Also when your UPS is providing power from battery, the UPS's Alarm will sound once every 15 seconds until silenced. This light will flash when the UPS's battery is nearly drained and the UPS is initiating an automatic system shutdown. During automatic system shutdown, the UPS's Alarm will sound once every second and cannot be silenced, though it will turn off when shutdown is complete.

4. "Fault/Overload" LED

This red light will illuminate constantly to indicate a short circuit or other fault in the UPS. Also, the UPS's Alarm will sound constantly for 30 seconds, then the UPS will automatically shut 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. In this case, immediately remove equipment from the battery-supported outlets until the UPS can support the remaining load.

5. "Replace Batt" LED

This red light will illuminate constantly if a battery self-test indicates that the UPS battery is less than fully charged or is defective. If this occurs, turn the UPS OFF, let it charge for 12 hours, then turn it back ON and perform a second battery self-test. If this light comes on again, contact Tripp Lite for service.

Other UPS Features

6. AC Receptacles (Battery Backup-Supported)

These receptacles provide your connected equipment with AC line power during normal operation and battery power during blackouts and brownouts. They also protect your equipment against damaging surges and line noise. Connect computer, monitor and other essential equipment to these receptacles.

7. AC Receptacle (Surge-Only)

This receptacle provides heavy-draw equipment that does not require battery backup (such as a printer) with complete surge and line noise protection without committing valuable battery power to support it during blackouts. Do not connect computers or other essential equipment to this receptacle.

8. “SMART” RS-232 Port

The RS-232 port connects your UPS to any PC or workstation. Use with included PowerAlert Software and cabling to monitor and manage network power and automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a power failure. This port uses RS-232 communications to transmit UPS and power conditions.

9. Accessory Slot

Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support for more information and a list of available SNMP, network management and connectivity products.

10. Mounting Brackets

The mounting brackets are shipped already set for mounting the UPS in standard 48 cm. (19 in.) racks. See Installation section for instructions on using the mounting brackets to suit under-monitor, tower and wall-mount applications.

11. AC Input Receptacle

Connect one end of the detachable line cord into this receptacle and the other end into your wall outlet.

12. Battery Replacement Door

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. When replacing batteries, qualified service personnel should follow this procedure: 1) Turn UPS OFF; 2) Remove the snap-on battery replacement door, on left front of unit; 3) Pull batteries partially out of case; 4) Make a detailed sketch of the batteries and the polarity, color and connection of all cables; 5) Disconnect battery terminals; 6) Dispose of used batteries; 7) Reconnect replacement batteries exactly as original batteries were connected; 8) Push batteries back into case and replace cover.*

* You may not receive full runtime until your replacement batteries have fully charged.

13. Circuit Breaker

A resettable circuit breaker protects equipment plugged into battery backupsupported AC receptacles against short circuits and system overloads. If the circuit breaker trips, unplug at least one piece of equipment from the AC receptacles and reset the breaker by pressing the button back into place.

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 to store 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 UPS batteries remain uncharged for an extended period of time, they will suffer permanent loss of capacity.

Service

If returning your UPS for service, contact your local Tripp Lite dealer or distributor. They will refer you to a service center. Please carefully pack the UPS using the ORIGINAL PACKING MATERIAL that came with the unit. Enclose a letter des-cribing the symptoms of the problem. If the UPS is within the 2 year warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt.
