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 may affect your warranty.

UPS Location Warnings

• The UPS is designed for indoor use only in a controlled environment, away from excess moisture, heat/cold, 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.

• If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output.

• 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.

Equipment Connection Warnings

• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.

• Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This might damage the UPS and may affect 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 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 Lead-Acid). The batteries are recyclable. Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements or visit www.tripplite.com/UPSbatteryrecycling 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.

• Do not attempt to add an external battery pack to the UPS.

Quick Installation

STEP 1: To install the UPS in a 4-post rack, attach the included mounting hardware to the UPS as shown in diagram A. To mount the UPS in a 2-post rack, attach the included hardware to the UPS as shown in diagram

. Then, using an assistant if

necessary, lift the UPS and attach it to a standard rack or rack enclosure with user-supplied hardware. Caution: If the UPS is

installed in a rack, allow at least 0.75 in. (2 cm) clearance above and below the unit. If the UPS is placed flat on a surface, do NOT stack any other object directly on top of the unit. The UPS will stand in a tower position without the aid of the

included hardware. However, for added stability Tripp Lite recommends that the included hardware be attached as shown in diagram

. The UPS and included hardware are designed for common rack and rack enclosure types and may not be

appropriate for all applications.

STEP 2: Plug the UPS into an outlet.

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.

STEP 3: Plug your equipment into the UPS.

* 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 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 outlets, run a self-test (see “MUTE/TEST” Button description).

STEP 4: Optional Installation.

All models include USB and RS-232 communication ports as well as Tel/DSL/network surge protection jacks. These connections are optional; the UPS will work properly without these connections. See the connector's description in the Basic Operation section for connection instructions.

If the LINE POWER indicator light (LCD screen on Digital models) does not illuminate when the UPS is turned ON, try the following:

1. Make sure that the UPS is plugged into a live AC outlet.

2. If your UPS has a sliding ON/OFF switch, place it back in the OFF position, wait several seconds, then place it in the ON position again.

3. If your UPS had an ON/OFF button, you must press it for at least one second to start the UPS. (A beep should sound when the UPS starts.)

4. If the UPS still does not start, contact Tripp Lite Tech Support for assistance.

Basic Operation (Front Panel)

“ON/OFF” Button

• ToturntheUPSon: Press and hold the ON/OFF Button for one second.* If utility power is absent, pressing the Button will “cold-start” the UPS, i.e. turn it on and supply power from its battery.**

• To turn the UPS off: Press and hold the ON/OFF Button for one second.* The UPS will be turned completely off (deactivated).

* The alarm will beep once briefly after one second has passed. ** Providing runtime proportionate to the UPS battery's level of charge.

Note: UPS system will function properly upon initial startup; however, maximum runtime for the unit’s battery will only be accessible after it has been charged for 24 hours.

“MUTE/TEST” Button

• ToSilence(or"Mute")UPSAlarms: briefly press and release the MUTE/TEST button. Note: continuous alarms (warning you to immediately shut down connected equipment) cannot be silenced.

• ToRun a Self-Test: with your UPS plugged in and turned on, press and hold the MUTE/TEST button for two seconds. Continue holding the button until the alarm beeps several times and the UPS performs a self-test. See “Results of a Self-Test” below. Note: you can leave connected 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. 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 outlets are overloaded. To clear the

overload, unplug some of your equipment from the outlets and run the self-test repeatedly until the “FAULT” icon is no longer lit 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.

• 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 12 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.
