UPS Location Warnings

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

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

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

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 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 might damage the UPS and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties. However, Tripp Lite has approved the connection of extension cords and/or our HT3100PC Power Conditioning Center at the output of this UPS for greater accessibility and to increase the number of battery backup supported outlets.* The use of extension cords is approved for remote power needs, as long as the extension cord is sized properly (by using properly gauged wire) and properly connected (by having a 3-prong grounded plug on one end and a 3prong receptacle on the other end of this cord). The UPS itself must be directly connected to a properly grounded wall outlet.

* The total number of components connected should not exceed the UPS capacity. This will overload your UPS system.

Battery Warnings

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 LeadAcid). 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 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.

• During hot-swap battery replacement, the UPS will not provide backup power in the

event of a blackout or other power interruptions.

• Do not operate UPS without batteries.

• When adding external battery packs to select models with external battery pack

connectors, connect only Tripp Lite-recommended battery packs of the correct voltage and type. Do not connect or disconnect battery packs when the UPS is operating on battery power.

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.

Important Safety Instructions

Mount your equipment in either a 4-post or 2-post rack or rack enclosure (see next page for 2post mounting). The user must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting. If hardware and procedures are not suitable for your application, contact the manufacturer of your rack or rack enclosure. The procedures described in this manual are for common rack and rack enclosure types and may not be appropriate for all applications.

4-Post Mounting

All UPS models include hardware required to mount in a 4-post rack. Select models include an adjustable rackmount shelf kit to provide additional support. If your UPS model does not

include an adjustable rackmount shelf kit, skip steps 1 and 2.

Connect the two segments of each shelf using the included screws and nuts . Leave the screws slightly loose so that the shelves can be adjusted in the next step.

Adjust each shelf to fit your rack, then mount them in the lowest available space of your rack with the screws, nuts and washers provided . Note that the support ledges should face inward. Tighten the screws that connect the shelf segments .

Attach mounting ears to the front mounting holes of your equipment using the screws provided . The ears should face forward.

Using an assistant if necessary, lift your equipment and slide it onto the mounting shelves. Attach your equipment to the rack by using the appropriate hardware through its mounting ears and into the rack rails.

Rack Mounting

Installation

(continued)

2-Post Mounting

If you mount the UPS in a 2-post rack, it requires the addition of a Tripp Lite 2-Post Rackmount Installation Kit (model: 2POSTKITRMWM, sold separately). See Installation Kit owner’s manual for installation procedure for 2U UPS models.

Tower Mounting

Your UPS can be mounted in an upright tower position with optional base stands sold separately by Tripp Lite (Model # 2-9USTAND). When mounting the UPS on adjustable base stands, make sure that the control panel is toward the top. The control panel may be rotated to make it easier to read. Insert a small screwdriver or similar tool in the slots on either side of the panel, pop it out, rotate it, and pop it back into place as shown.

WARNING! All UPS systems are extremely heavy. Use caution when lifting and mounting. User must properly stabilize the UPS when lifting and mounting.

Important Safety Instructions

Connection and Start-Up

Plug your UPS’s line cord into an electrical outlet.

Your UPS must be connected to a dedicated circuit of sufficient amperage. Note, however, that the select models may be fitted with different plug types. Refer to the “OP Rating/ Plug Rating” chart printed on the top of your UPS.

Once your UPS is plugged in, the fan and all Indicator Lights will turn ON. The “LINE” and “LOAD ACTIVE METER” LEDs will illuminate and the UPS will emit a beep to indicate normal operation. However, power is not supplied to your UPS’s AC outlets until the UPS is turned on.

Plug your equipment into your UPS.

Your UPS is designed to support audio/video systems and their associated servers, Media Center PCs, and a Tripp Lite HT3100PC Power Conditioning Center only. The total number of components connected should not exceed UPS capacity. This will overload your UPS system. You will also overload your UPS if you connect household appliances to the UPS's outlets.

Turn your UPS ON:

• Press the “ON/TEST” Button

• Hold it for several seconds until you hear a beep

• Release it

Your UPS will begin providing AC power to its outlets. The “ON LINE” LED will illuminate.

Your UPS will function properly without these connections.

Phone Line or Phone/Network Line Surge Suppression

Your UPS has jacks which protect against surges on a phone line. Select models feature jacks which also protect against surges on a network line.* Using appropriate telephone or network cords connect your wall jack to the UPS jack marked “IN.” Connect your equipment to the UPS jack marked “OUT.” Make sure the equipment you connect to the UPS's jacks is also protected against surges on the AC line.

* Not compatible with PoE (Power Over Ethernet) applications.
