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 automati-

cally. 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 non-

essential 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).

Important Safety Instructions

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.

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.

“MUTE/TEST” Button

To Silence (or “Mute”) UPS Alarms: briefly press and release the

MUTE/TEST button. Note: continuous alarms (warning you to imme-

diately 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.

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 over-

loaded. To clear the overload, unplug some of your equipment

from the battery-supported outlets and run the self-test repeat-

edly 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 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.

Basic Operation

continued

“ON/OFF” Button

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

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.**

• To turn the UPS OFF: first, 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).

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

tery 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.

* 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).

Basic Operation

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

Phone Line/Network Line

Surge Suppression

Your UPS has jacks which protect against

surges over a phone or network dataline. Using

telephone cords or network data cables as

appropriate, 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.

USB Communications

Use any USB cable to connect the USB port of

your computer to the USB port of your UPS.

Download the PowerAlert UPS monitoring

software program appropriate for your operat-

ing system from www.tripplite.com and install

it on your computer.

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 to your computer. Use with Tripp Lite software and

any USB cable to automatically save open files and shut down equip-

ment during a blackout. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support or con-

sult your power protection software manual for more information.

Battery Replacement Door: Under normal conditions, the original bat-

tery 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 dif-

ferent settings for this dial. As the dial is turned clockwise, the UPS

becomes more tolerant of variations in its input power’s AC wave-

form 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 dif-

ferent 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 con-

ditions are encountered.

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.

Storage & Service

All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet and turned on.

“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 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.

“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 battery-

supported 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. An alarm will

sound continuously prior to shut down. The OVERLOAD LED will

light continuously just prior to and immediately after shut down.

Clear the overload in the same manner as described in the paragraph

above.

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).

Telephone/Network Protection Jacks: These jacks protect your equipment

against surges over a telephone or data line. Connecting your equipment

to these jacks is optional. Your UPS will work properly without this connection.
