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, conductive contaminants, 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.

• 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 an 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 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. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the UPS. Do not open the UPS except to perform battery replacement. Do not open 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. Battery replacement should be performed only by authorized service personnel using the same number and type of batteries (Sealed Lead-Acid). Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The batteries are recyclable. Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements or in the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD or 1-800-8-BATTERY (1-800-822-8837) or visit www.rbrc.com 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.

Quick Installation

With the UPS disconnected from utility power, use a small tool to set the Voltage Dip Switch to match your input voltage. (All models are preset to the 120V setting.)

Plug the UPS into an outlet on a dedicated circuit.

NOTE! after you plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, the UPS will automatically charge its batteries,* but will not supply power to its outlets until it is turned ON.

* The BATTERY CHARGE LED will be the only LED illuminated

Plug your equipment into the UPS.

Select outlets provide both battery backup and surge protection; plug computers, monitors and other critical devices into these outlets.* Select outlets provide surge protection only; plug printers and other non-essential devices into these outlets. Do not plug high-draw equipment into

the battery backup/surge protection outlets.

* Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the UPS if the total VA rating for all equipment connected through the battery backup/surge protection 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 UPS's outlets, see “OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LED description.

Turn the UPS ON.

Press and hold the “STANDBY” button for one second. The alarm will beep once briefly after one second has passed. Release the button.

Optional Installation

These connections are optional. Your UPS will function properly without these connections.

USB and RS-232 Serial Communications

Use the included USB cable 1a and/or DB9 serial cable 1b to connect the communication port on your computer to the communication port of your UPS. Install on your computer the Tripp Lite PowerAlert Software appropriate to your computer’s operating system. Consult your PowerAlert manual for more information.

Telephone/Network Protection Jacks

Your UPS has jacks that protect against surges over a telephone line or a network dataline. Using telephone network data cables, connect your wall jack to the UPS jack marked “IN.” Connect your equipment to the UPS jack marked “OUT.” Make sure the equipment you connect to the UPS's jacks is also protected against surges on the AC line.

Not compatible with PoE (Power Over Ethernet) applications.

Basic Operation

Buttons

“STANDBY” Button

• To turn the UPS ON: with the UPS plugged into a live AC wall outlet,* press and hold the STANDBY button for about one second.** Release the button. If utility power is absent, you can "cold-start" the UPS (i.e.: turn it ON and supply power for a limited time from its batteries***) by pressing and holding the STANDBY button for about two seconds.**

• To turn the UPS OFF: with the UPS ON and receiving utility power, press and hold the STANDBY button for one second.** Then unplug the UPS from the wall outlet. The UPS will be completely OFF.

* After you plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, the UPS will automatically charge its batteries,

but will not supply power to its outlets until it is turned ON. ** The alarm will beep once briefly after the indicated interval has passed. *** If fully charged.

“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 it is not turned ON (see “STANDBY” 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.

Results of a Self-Test: The test will last approximately 10 seconds as the

UPS switches to battery to test its load capacity and battery charge. The “POWER” LED will be flashing and the “OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” and “BATTERY CHARGE” LEDs will be lit and the UPS alarm will sound.

• If the “OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LED remains lit red and the alarm continues to sound after the test, the UPS's outlets are overloaded. To clear the overload, unplug some of your equipment and run the self test repeatedly until the “OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LED is no longer lit red 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 severe brownout.

• If the “BATTERY WARNING” 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 selftest. If the LED remains lit, 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.

* The alarm will beep once briefly after the indicated interval has passed.

Indicator Lights

All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into a wall outlet and turned ON.

“POWER” LED: this green LED lights continuously when the UPS is

ON and supplying connected equipment with AC power from a utility source. The 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 blackout or severe brownout. If the blackout or severe brownout is prolonged, you should save files and shut down your equipment since internal battery power will eventually be depleted. See “BATTERY CHARGE” LED description below.

“VOLTAGE CORRECTION” LED: this green LED lights continuously whenever the UPS is automatically correcting high or low AC voltage on the utility line without the assistance of battery power. The UPS will also emit a slight clicking noise. These are normal, automatic operations of the UPS, no action is required on your part.

“OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LEDs: These multicolored LEDs indicate the approximate electrical load of equipment connected to the UPS's AC outlets: green (light load), yellow (medium load) and red (overload). If the red LED is either illuminated continuously or flashing, clear the overload immediately by unplugging some of your equipment from the outlets until the yellow or green LED illuminates. CAUTION! Any overload that is not corrected by the user immediately may cause the UPS to shut down and cease supplying output power in the event of a blackout or severe brownout.

“BATTERY CHARGE” LEDs: When the UPS is operating from utility power, these LEDs indicates the approximate charge state of the UPS's internal batteries: red indicates the batteries are beginning to charge; yellow indicates the batteries are roughly midway through charging; and green indicates the batteries are fully charged. When the UPS is operating from battery power during a blackout or severe brownout, these multicolor LEDs indicate the approximate amount of energy (ultimately affecting runtime) that the UPS's batteries will provide: red indicates a low level of energy; yellow indicates a medium level of energy; and green indicates a high level of energy. Since the runtime performance of all UPS batteries will gradually deplete over time, it is recommended that you periodically perform a self-test (see “MUTE/TEST” Button description) to determine the energy level of your UPS batteries BEFORE a blackout or severe brownout occurs. During a prolonged blackout or severe brownout, you should save files and shut down your equipment since battery power will eventually be depleted. When the red LED illuminates and an alarm sounds continuously, this indicates that the UPS's batteries are nearly out of power and UPS shutdown is imminent.

“BATTERY WARNING” LED: this LED lights yellow and an alarm sounds intermittently after you initiate a self test (See “MUTE/TEST” Button description) 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 light, contact Tripp Lite for service. If your UPS requires battery replacement, visit www.tripplite.com.

"SITE WIRING FAULT" LED: This yellow LED will be lit if the UPS detects a problem with the wiring of the AC outlet you connect it to. If this occurs, have the outlet inspected by a qualified electrician. Note that while the UPS will detect many common wiring faults, including a missing ground, reversed polarity and overloaded neutral circuits, it cannot detect every conceivable wiring problem.

Battery Replacement

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.

Carefully pull the front panel away from the UPS.

Place front panel on top of the unit. Remove the battery support bar.

Remove old batteries.

Carefully pull the batteries from the UPS and disconnect them.

Connect new batteries.

Connect the new batteries in exactly the same manner as the old ones: positive (red) connectors together and negative (black) connectors together. Carefully push batteries back into the UPS.

Reassemble UPS.

Reinstall the battery support bar and replace the front panel.
