Safety

This manual contains important instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of all Tripp Lite UPS Systems.

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 32° F and 104° F (between 0° C and 40° C).

• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.

UPS Connection Warnings

• Connect your UPS to a three-wire, grounded AC power outlet. Do not remove or modify the ground pin of the UPS's plug.

• Do not use two-prong adapters with the UPS's plug. Do not plug your UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS and void your warranty.

• If you are connecting your UPS to 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.

Battery Warnings

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

• Battery replacement must be performed by qualified service personnel. 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.

• The UPS batteries are recyclable. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements or call 1-800-SAV-LEAD (1-800-728-5323) for complete recycling information. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.

• Do not attempt to add external batteries unless your UPS is equipped with External Battery Connectors. Connect only Tripp Lite battery packs with the correct voltage (see voltage requirements label on the rear of your UPS) and the correct connector color to match your UPS’s External Battery Connector.

• Observe proper polarity when connecting replacement batteries. Only connect Negative (black) wires to Negative (black) terminals. Only connect Positive (red) wires to Positive (red) terminals.

• During “hot-swap” battery replacement (when the UPS and connected equipment are turned ON) your UPS will not be able to provide battery backup in the event of a blackout because the batteries will be momentarily disconnected as they are exchanged.

Installation

Install rack handles (supplied)

and mount UPS in standard 19 in. rack using standard rack hardware (user supplied).

Install your UPS in the lowest rack position possible.

Plug your UPS into

an electrical outlet.

See “Suggested Circuit” in Specifications section to determine if your model should occupy a 15-amp

or 20- or 30-amp dedicated circuit.

Plug your equipment into

your UPS.

Your UPS is designed to support only computer equipment. Connecting household appliances, laser printers or surge suppressors is not recommended.

Turn your UPS ON.

Set the System Enable Switch (the

•

location varies by model, see Figures 1 and 2) to the “ENABLE” position.

DB9 Port Connection

–Optional–*

Using Tripp Lite cable, connect your primary server’s DB9 port to the single DB9 port labeled “SMART” (which provides complete intelligent RS-232 communications).**

If your UPS model has

multiple DB9 ports and you have additional computers:

All Models Connect them to the DB9 ports labeled “BASIC” (which provide basic, contactclosure shutdown capabilities). See Figure 1.

2200 - 3000 VA Models Set their corresponding LAN Interface DIP Switches to the ACTIVATE (LEFT) position. See Figure 2 for which switch controls which port.***

Load software and run the installation

program appropriate for your operating system.

* Serial port connections are optional. Your UPS will function properly without these connections.

** The “SMART” DB9 port is always enabled and is not controlled by the LAN Interface DIP Switches. *** If you do not connect a computer to either of the “BASIC” DB9 ports, set their corresponding LAN Interface DIP Switches to the DEACTIVATE (RIGHT) position. Note: DIP Switch #3 has no function.

Basic Operation

Switches

System Enable Switch*

700 - 1400 VA models

2200 - 3000 VA models

This switch activates the battery charger and intelligent microprocessor. when your UPS is plugged in. Set the switch to “DISABLE” only if you store or ship your UPS (to reduce battery drain).

*Note: the location of the switch varies by model. The “XXX” light will flash until you engage the ON/Standby Switch to activate the “ON” mode (power ON at the UPS receptacles).

Always leave it in the “ENABLE” position

On/Standby Switch

This momentary switch controls power to the UPS receptacles. Engage it momentarily and release it to toggle between the “ON” mode (power ON at the UPS receptacles) and “Standby” mode (power OFF at the UPS receptacles).

Mute/Test Switch

Use this momentary switch to do two things:

Silence the blackout alarm

Engage this switch and release it. Note: when the battery is nearly depleted, the alarm resumes (and cannot be silenced) to alert you to immediately shut down connected equipment.

Test your UPS’s battery charge

Leave your connected equipment ON. With your UPS plugged in and completely turned ON, engage this switch; hold it there for 5 seconds and release it. The UPS will momentarily switch to battery to test its charge. The “XXX” light will turn ON and the alarm may sound if your UPS fails a self-test and/or the UPS battery is less than fully charged. Let the UPS charge for 12 hours and perform a second self-test. If the light continues to stay on, contact Tripp Lite for service. 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.

Indicator Lights

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

This green light will shine constantly to indicate AC power is available at the receptacles. It will flash to indicate AC power “System Enable Switch” and “ON/Standby Switch” descriptions above.)

This multi-colored light displays 7 separate UPS battery charge conditions. It will turn from red (low) to yellow (medium) to green (full) to show you the level of battery charge. If the light is constant, then your UPS is operating from line power and the battery is charging. If the light is flashing, then your UPS is operating from battery power and the battery is discharging. When the light flashes red, close any files you are working on and shut down your computer.

Whenever your UPS is automatically correcting high or low AC line voltage, this green light will turn ON and the UPS will gently click. The more the UPS has to correct voltage, the more the green light will turn ON and the more the UPS will click. These are both normal, automatic operations of your UPS, and no action is required on your part.

This red light will turn ON if your UPS fails a self-test and/or the UPS battery is less than fully charged. Let the UPS charge for 12 hours and perform a second self-test. If the light continues to stay on, contact Tripp Lite for service.

This multi-colored light displays 4 separate UPS load conditions. It will turn from green (low) to yellow (medium) to red (high) as you connect equipment to show you the load level your UPS is supporting. When the light is red your UPS is supporting a load above 85% of its capacity. If the red light begins flashing, your UPS is severely overloaded. Remove overload immediately until light stops flashing.

Other UPS Features

AC Receptacles

The receptacles provide your connected equipment with AC line power during normal operation and battery power during blackouts and brownouts. They also protect your equipment against damaging surges and line noise. You can remotely reboot connected equipment by turning all of the receptacles OFF and ON at once using Tripp Lite UPS software. Select models, however, feature unique “Remote Reboot Outlets” (identified on the back panel of your UPS) which allow you to use Tripp Lite UPS software to remotely reboot equipment connected to these outlets without interrupting power to equipment connected to the other outlets.* See software instructions for details.

* Note: constant power is available at the Remote Reboot Outlets (and all other outlets) unless controlled through Tripp Lite UPS software.

“SMART” RS-232 Port

The RS-232 port connects your UPS to any workstation or server. Use with Tripp Lite software and #73-0743 cable to monitor and manage network power and automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a blackout. This port uses RS-232 communications to transmit UPS and power conditions (Pin 7 = Transmit; Pin 8 = Common; Pin 9 = Receive). Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support for more information and a list of available SNMP, network management and connectivity products.

“BASIC” Contact-Closure Ports

The contact-closure ports connect your UPS to any workstation or server. Use with Tripp Lite software and #73-0844 cabling to automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a blackout. This port sends contact-closure signals to indicate status. Contact Tripp Lite Customer Support for more information.

LAN Interface DIP Switches (available on select models)

DIP Switches #1 and #2 activate or deactivate remote shutdown through the “BASIC” Contact-Closure Ports. See “DB9 Port Connection” on page 4 for which switch controls which port. Note: DIP Switch #3 has no function. DIP Switch #4 serves as the UPS’s “System Enable Switch.”

External Battery Connector (available on select models)

Use this to connect additional Tripp Lite battery packs for additional runtime. Refer to the label next to the connector for appropriate Tripp Lite battery pack to connect. Refer to instructions available with the battery pack for complete connection information and safety warnings.
