Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation,
operation and storage of this product. Failure to heed these warnings will void your warranty.

UPS Location Warnings

• Install the UPS indoors, away from excess moisture, temperature extremes, conductive contaminants,
dust and 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.

• Do not mount the 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 the UPS to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug the UPS into itself; this will
damage the UPS.

• Do not modify the UPS input connector, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the ground
connection of the UPS.

• 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,
fi ltered, computer-grade output.

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 signifi cantly affect its safety
or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment in the presence of a fl ammable
anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.

• Do not connect surge suppressors to the output of the UPS. This might damage the UPS and will
void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.

Battery Warnings

• The UPS does not require routine maintenance. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not
open the UPS for any reason.

• Batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burns from high short-circuit current. Battery
replacement should be performed only by authorized service personnel. Observe proper precautions.
Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery replacement. Use tools with insulated
handles. Replace the existing batteries with the same number and type of batteries (sealed Lead­Acid). Do not open the batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object.
Tripp Lite offers a complete line of UPS Replacement Battery Cartridges. Visit
www.tripplite.com/support/battery to locate the specifi c replacement battery for your UPS.

• The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements. Do not dispose of
the batteries in a fi re.

• Do not operate the UPS without batteries. Do not attempt to add external batteries to the UPS.

Installation

Input Connection

Connect a user-supplied power cord to the

1

UPS system’s IEC-320-C14 input receptacle

A

, located at the end of the input power
cord. The user-supplied power cord should
have an IEC-320-C13 connector at one
end B and a plug compatible with the
local site’s utility outlets at the other end.
(Your computer’s detachable power cord is
probably compatible.)

Note: The plug will vary depending on the type of power

cord supplied by the user.

2

After connecting the user-supplied power

cord to the UPS system’s IEC-320-C14
input receptacle, insert the plug directly
into a grounded 230V AC outlet. The outlet
should not share a circuit with a heavy
electrical load such as an air conditioner or
refrigerator.

Power On

Press the ON/OFF/TEST/MUTE button A

3

for 1 second (the UPS will beep) to turn the
UPS system on. The green ON/OFF light B
will illuminate when the UPS system is on.

Note: The UPS system will not begin to charge its battery

until it has been turned on. Connected equipment will not
be supported adequately during a power failure until the
internal battery has charged for 4-6 hours. It will take up
to 8 hours for the battery to charge completely.

Output Connections

Using the included C13-to-C14 power cord

4

A

, connect a personal computer or other
electronic equipment to one of the UPS
system’s IEC-320-C13 output receptacles

B

. Connect additional equipment with
user-supplied power cords that have a C14
connector at one end.

Note: Laser printers, large household appliances or other

equipment with very high power requirements should not
be connected to the UPS. The UPS will become overloaded
if the combined power requirement for all connected
equipment exceeds the total output capacity of the UPS
(550VA). The VA rating for each piece of equipment can
be found by consulting the equipment’s documentation
and/or nameplate. If amps are shown, multiply by 230V to
determine VA (Volts x Amps = VA).

C13-to-C14 power cords (Part # P004-006) are available

from Tripp Lite. Call [phone] for more
information.
