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

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

• For best performance, keep the indoor temperature between 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, 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 may 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.

• Because the batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current, 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 Lead-Acid). Do not open the batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. 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.

• The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements, or in the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD or 1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-8-228-8379) or visit www.rbrc.com for recycling information. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.

• Do not attempt to add external batteries unless your UPS includes external battery connectors.

Quick Installation

Plug the UPS into an outlet that doesn’t share a circuit with a heavy electrical load.*

* An air conditioner, refrigerator, etc.

NOTE! after you plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, the UPS will turn ON automatically. See “ON/OFF” Button description in the Basic Operation section if you want to place the UPS in any mode other than ON.

Plug your equipment into the UPS.

The outlets will provide battery backup and surge protection; plug your computer, monitor and other critical devices here.*

The outlets will provide surge protection only; plug your printer and other nonessential devices here.

* Your UPS is designed to only support computer equipment. You will overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for all the equipment you connect to the (A) outlets exceeds the UPS’s Output Capacity (see Specifications). 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 (A) outlets, run a self-test (see “MUTE/TEST” Button description).

Basic Operation

Buttons

“ON/OFF” Button

• To turn the UPS ON: if utility power is present, the UPS will turn

• To turn the UPS OFF: first, unplug the UPS from the wall outlet;

• To place the UPS in “Charge-Only” Mode: this mode enables battery

* If fully charged. ** The alarm will beep once briefly after the indicated interval has passed (with the exception of a continuous beep which signals transition to the “Charge-Only” Mode).

“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. Your UPS, however, will not perform a self-test if you have placed it in “Charge-Only” mode (see “ON/OFF” Button description).

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.

ON automatically. If utility power is absent, you can “cold-start” the UPS (i.e.: turn it ON and supply power from its batteries*) by pressing and holding the ON/OFF button for one second.**

then press and hold the ON/OFF button for one second.** The UPS will be completely “OFF” (deactivated).

charging, but disables battery backup. WARNING: when the UPS is in this mode, it will not provide battery backup during a blackout or brownout. This mode is only recommended for use in areas that experience frequent blackout/brownout conditions and when connected equipment is not in use. Press and hold the ON/OFF button for four seconds to place the UPS in this mode.** Press and hold the ON/OFF button for one second** to take the UPS out of this mode.

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 LEDs will be lit and the UPS alarm will sound.

• If the “OVERLOAD” LED remains lit and the alarm continues to sound after the test, 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 repeatedly until the “OVERLOAD” LED 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 BATTERY” LED 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 LED continues to flash, contact Tripp Lite for service. If your UPS requires battery replacement, visit www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to locate the specific Tripp Lite replacement battery for your UPS.

“LINE POWER” LED: this green LED lights continuously to indicate that the UPS is ON and supplying your equipment with AC power from a utility source. The LED flashes to remind you that you have used the ON/OFF button to place the UPS in “Charge-Only” mode.

“BATTERY POWER” LED: this yellow LED flashes and an alarm sounds (4 short beeps followed by a pause) to indicate the UPS is operating from its internal batteries. During a prolonged brownout or blackout, this LED and the “REPLACE BATTERY” LED will light continuously and an alarm will sound continuously to indicate the UPS's batteries are nearly out of power; you should save files and shut down your equipment immediately.

“REPLACE BATTERY” LED: this red LED lights continuously and an alarm sounds after a self-test to indicate 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 LED continues to flash, contact Tripp Lite for service. If your UPS requires battery replacement, visit www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to locate the specific Tripp Lite replacement battery for your UPS.

“OVERLOAD” LED: this red LED lights continuously and an alarm sounds after a self-test to indicate the battery-supported outlets are overloaded. To clear the overload, unplug some of your equipment from the batterysupported outlets and run the self-test repeatedly until the LED 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.

“VOLTAGE CORRECTION” LED (select models only): Lights green

whenever your UPS is automatically correcting high or low AC line voltage. The UPS will also click gently. These are normal, automatic operations of your UPS, and no action is required on your part.

Other UPS Features

AC Outlets: the outlets will provide battery backup and surge protection; plug your computer, monitor and other critical devices here. The outlets

will provide surge protection only; plug your printer and other non-essential devices here. Your UPS is designed to only support computer equipment. You will overload the UPS if the total VAratings for all the equipment you connect to the outlets exceeds the UPS’s Output Capacity (see

Specifications). If you are unsure if you have overloaded the outlets, run a self-test (see “MUTE/TEST” Button description).

Basic Operation

Telephone or Telephone/Network Protection Jacks: These jacks protect your equipment against surges over a telephone line or telephone/network data line, depending on model. Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional. Your UPS will work properly without this connection.

USB Port: The USB port connects your UPS to any USB workstation or server. Using this port, your UPS can communicate line-fail and low-battery status. Use with Tripp Lite software and any USB cable to automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a blackout. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support or consult your power protection software manual for more information.

Battery Replacement Door: Under normal conditions, the original battery in your UPS will last several years. Refer to “Battery Warnings” in the Safety section on page 2. 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.

Power Sensitivity/Lowline Adjustment: This dial is normally set fully counterclockwise, which enables the UPS to protect against waveform distortions in its AC input. When such distortion occurs, the UPS will normally switch to providing PWM sinewave power from its battery reserves for as long as the distortion is present. In some areas with poor utility power or where the UPS’s input power comes from a backup generator, frequent brownouts and/or chronic waveform distortion could cause the UPS to switch to battery too often, draining its battery reserves. You may be able to reduce how often your UPS switches to battery due to waveform distortion or brownouts by experimenting with different settings for this dial. As the dial is turned clockwise, the UPS becomes more tolerant of variations in its input power’s AC waveform and reduces the voltage point at which it switches to battery. NOTE: The further the dial is adjusted clockwise, the greater the degree of waveform distortion and the lower the input voltage the UPS will allow to pass to connected equipment. When experimenting with different settings for this dial, operate connected equipment in a safe test mode so that the effect on the equipment of any waveform distortions in the UPS’s output can be evaluated without disrupting critical operations. The experiment should last long enough to assure that all expected line conditions are encountered.

External Battery Connector (Select Models Only): Use to connect a single Tripp Lite external battery pack for additional runtime. The specifications section of this manual lists the Tripp Lite external battery pack that is compatible with select models. Refer to instructions available with the battery pack for complete connection information and safety warnings.

Storage & Service

Storage

All connected equipment should be turned off, then disconnected from the UPS to avoid battery drain. Unplug the UPS from the wall outlet; then press and hold the ON/OFF button for one second. The UPS will be completely “OFF” (deactivated). Your UPS is now ready for storage. 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 and letting the UPS charge for 4 to 6 hours. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for an extended period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.

Service

Before returning your UPS for service, follow these steps:

1. Review the installation and operation instructions in this manual to ensure that the service problem does not originate from a misreading of the instructions. Also, check that the UPS System's circuit breaker(s) are not tripped. This is the most common cause of service inquiries which can be easily remedied by following the resetting instructions in this manual.

2. If the problem continues, do not contact or return the UPS to the dealer. Instead, call Tripp Lite at (773) 869-1233. A service technician will ask for the UPS’s model number, serial number and purchase date and will attempt to correct the problem over the phone.

3. If the problem requires service, the technician will issue you a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number, which is required for service. If you require packaging, the technician can arrange to send you proper packaging. Securely pack the UPS to avoid damage during shipping. Do not use Styrofoam beads for packaging. Any damages (direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential) to the UPS incurred during shipment to Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite service center is not covered under warranty. UPS Systems shipped to Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite service center must have transportation charges prepaid. Mark the RMA number on the outside of the package. If the UPS System is within the 2-year warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt.
