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 may affect the warranty.

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.

• 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 mains socket outlet that supplies the UPS should be easily accessible and located near

the UPS.

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.

• Connect the UPS to an outlet that is adequately protected against excess currents, short

circuits and earth faults as part of the building installation.

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 open the UPS or batteries. 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.

• When adding an external battery pack, connect only a Tripp Lite recommended battery pack of the correct voltage and type. Do not connect or disconnect the external battery pack when the UPS is operating on battery power. Visit Tripp Lite on the Web at www.tripplite.com/support/

battery/index.cfm to locate the specific battery for your 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 B. 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 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 C. 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 a properly grounded outlet.

After plugging the UPS into a wall outlet, push the

MODE

button for two

seconds 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 Self-Test description in Basic Operation section).

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 icon 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. Press the

MODE

button for 2 seconds to start the UPS. (A beep should sound when the

UPS starts.)

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

MUTE

navigating away from this menu option, will be the selected setting. This setting is normally set to 100%, 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 sine wave 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. As the setting is reduced, the UPS becomes more

tolerant of variations in its input power’s AC waveform. NOTE: When experimenting with different

settings, 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.
