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 UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, conductive contaminants, dust

or direct sunlight.

• Keep the indoor temperature between 32º F and 104º F (0º C and 40º C).

• Leave adequate space around all sides of 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 UPS directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug 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 UPS to an AC outlet. Warranty will be voided if

anything other than Tripp Lite surge suppressors are used to connect UPS to an outlet.

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

• The main socket outlet that supplies the UPS should be installed near the UPS and

should be easily accessible.

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 UPS. This might

damage the UPS and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.

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 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.

Storage and Service

Storage

To avoid battery drain, all connected equipment should be turned off and disconnected from the UPS. Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST switch for one second. Your UPS will be completely turned off (deactivated), and will be ready for storage. If you plan on storing your UPS for an extended period, fully recharge the UPS batteries every three months. Plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, turn it on by pressing and holding the ON/OFF/TEST switch for one second, and allow the batteries to recharge for 4 to 6 hours. If you leave your UPS

batteries discharged for a long period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.

Controls

“ON/OFF/TEST” Button

To turn the UPS on: Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST 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 batteries.**

To turn the UPS off: Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST switch

for one second.* The UPS will be turned completely off

(deactivated). To run a Self-Test: With your UPS plugged in and turned ON,

press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST button for three seconds.**

CAUTION! To perform a self-test, you must hold the ON/ OFF/TEST button continuously for three seconds; if you release the button too early, you will turn the UPS system OFF and cut power to connected equipment loads. To ensure you hold the button for the correct length of time, do not release the button until you hear the UPS System’s audible alarm beep twice. The first beep occurs after one second and indicates that the UPS will turn OFF if the button is released. The second beep occurs after three seconds and indicates that the UPS will perform a self-test if the button is released.

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. See LED descriptions below to determine the results of the Self-Test.

Note: You can leave connected equipment on during a self-test.

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 alarm will beep once briefly after one second has passed. ** If fully charged.

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.

“ON/OFF” LED: this green LED lights continuously to indicate that the UPS is ON and supplying your equipment with

AC power either from a utility source or from the UPS’s

internal batteries. If the UPS’s alarm is sounding (4 short beeps followed by a pause), the UPS is operating from its internal

batteries.

200912039 93-2421.indb 5 12/15/2009 4:05:08 PM

“OVERLOAD/CHECK BATTERY” LED: this red LED lights continuously after a self-test to indicate the capacity of the outlets has been exceeded. To clear the overload, unplug some of your equipment from the outlets; then use the ON/OFF/ TEST button to run a Self-Test. If the UPS continues to detect an overload, remove more equipment and repeat the self test until successful. 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. The LED flashes to indicate the battery needs to be recharged or replaced. If the LED flashes (and a continuous alarm sounds) during a prolonged blackout or

brownout, the UPS’s batteries are nearly out of power; you

should save files and shut down your equipment immediately. If the LED flashes following a UPS self-test (after the UPS is turned ON), it may indicate that the battery needs to be replaced. Allow the UPS to recharge continuously for 12 hours; then use the ON/OFF/TEST button to run a Self Test. If the LED continues to flash, contact Tripp Lite for service. Should your UPS require battery replacement, visit Tripp Lite on the Web at www.tripplite.com/support/battery/index.cfm to locate

the specific replacement battery for your UPS.

Automatic Voltage Regulation (internal; not shown):

automatically adjusts fluctuations to incoming voltage to supply connected equipment with 120V or 230V computer-grade

output power as a separate function from battery backup power

(will not drain battery).

Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected Outlets: Provide both battery backup and surge protection. Plug your computer,

monitor and other critical equipment into these outlets. NOTE: DO NOT PLUG LASER PRINTERS INTO THESE OUTLETS.

USB or DB9 Communication Port (select models only):

These ports can connect your UPS to any computer for automatic file saves and unattended shutdown in the event of a power failure. Use with Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert Software and

appropriate USB or DB9 cable. A PowerAlert CD and USB or DB9 cable may be included with your UPS; if so, insert the CD into the CD tray of your computer and follow the installation instructions. If PowerAlert Software and the appropriate cable did not come with your UPS, you can obtain the software FREE via the Web at www.tripplite.com. Any user-supplied DB9 pass-

through or USB cable may then be used to connect your UPS to

your computer. NOTE: This connection is optional. The UPS

will work properly without this connection.

Tel/DSL Protection Jacks (select models): stop surges on a

single phone or fax line. Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional. The UPS will work properly without this

connection. 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. Should your UPS require battery replacement, 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: 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. You may be able to reduce how often your

UPS switches to battery due to waveform distortion 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.
