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. 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 appliances 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
might 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
except battery replacement. 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 in
the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD for recycling information. Do not dispose of the
batteries in a fire.

• Only connect Tripp Lite battery packs of the appropriate type and correct voltage to the
external battery connector.

• Do not connect or disconnect external batteries while the UPS is operating from battery.

• Do not attempt to connect external batteries to models without an external battery connector.

Use the ON/OFF button to do three things:

Switch your UPS’s Operating Mode: While your UPS is plugged

into a live AC outlet, press the ON/OFF button and hold it until you
hear a beep (about 2 seconds) to toggle between the following operating
modes. Choose your UPS’s operating mode based on the regional
guidelines in Step 3 of the Quick Installation section.

• UPS Mode: ENABLES battery backup. UPS Conditions: The UPS

charges its battery and supplies power at its receptacles when it is
receiving utility line power. If utility power fails, the UPS provides
power from its batteries. The “ ” indicator light is lit. Setting

Advantages: Provides battery backup during blackouts or brownouts.

• CHARGE ONLY Mode: DISABLES battery backup. UPS
Conditions: The UPS charges its battery and supplies power at its

receptacles when it is receiving utility line power. The “ ” indicator
light is flashing. Setting Advantages: Continues to charge the battery
when power is present while turning OFF the inverter to prevent battery
depletion during power outages when equipment is not in use.

Cold-Start Your UPS: You may “cold start” your UPS and use it as a
stand-alone power source when utility power is not present, providing
that the UPS battery is charged. To “cold start” your UPS, press and
hold the ON/OFF button until you hear a beep (about 2 seconds), then
release it. The “ ” indicator light will illuminate and AC power
inverted from stored battery power will be provided at its receptacles.

Shut Down Your UPS: Press and hold the ON/OFF button when AC
line power is absent (i.e. during a blackout, or when the UPS is
unplugged) to deactivate your UPS.

Use the MUTE/TEST button to do two things:

Silence the UPS On-Battery Alarm: Press and hold this button to
silence the UPS On-Battery alarm, a series of short beeps followed by
a brief pause that is activated when the UPS is providing AC power
from battery. Note: When the battery is nearly depleted, the Low
Battery alarm—a continuous beep that cannot be silenced—will alert
you to immediately shut down connected equipment.

Run a Self-Test: Your UPS performs a self-test whenever it is first
plugged in. To have it run a self-test at another time, leave your
connected equipment on. With your UPS plugged in and in the UPS
mode, press and hold this button until you hear a beep (about 2 seconds)
then release it.

Results of a Self-Test: All the LEDs will be lit and the UPS will emit
several short beeps as it momentarily switches to battery to test its
charge and load capacity. The test will last at most 10 seconds. If the
inverter is overloaded, the “ ” LED will stay lit and the UPS will
continue to beep after the test; if this happens, remove some of the load

and run the self-test again. If the batteries seem weak, the “ ” LED
will stay lit and the UPS will continue to beep after the test; if this
happens, let UPS charge its batteries for 12 hours and repeat the test. If
the condition persists, 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.

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

LINE POWER: This green light will turn ON whenever your UPS is
receiving normal AC line power. It will flash while the UPS is in
CHARGE ONLY mode to indicate that the UPS will not provide battery
backup during a blackout or brownout.

BATTERY POWER: This light indicates battery charge level: Green
means the batteries are fully charged or nearly so, yellow means the
batteries are partially charged, and red means the batteries are nearly
depleted.

VOLTAGE REGULATION: This light will turn ON when your
UPS is automatically correcting high or low utility line voltage. The
UPS will also click gently when this automatic voltage regulation is
operating. These are both normal functions of your UPS, and no
action is required on your part.

BATTERY CHARGE: This red light will turn ON continuously
after the UPS runs a self-test to indicate that the UPS’s battery is weakly
charged. If it remains lit after you have allowed the UPS to charge for
twelve hours and have run a second self-test, contact Tripp Lite for
service.

OVERLOAD: This light shows how heavy is the load on the UPS’s
inverter. Green indicates a light load, yellow indicates a medium load,
and red indicates a heavy load (above 85% of the UPS’s output capacity).
If this light is flashing, the UPS is overloaded and will not be able to
provide power to connected equipment during a power outage.
Unplug equipment from the UPS until this LED stops flashing.

Indicator Lights

AC Receptacles: These output receptacles provide your connected
equipment with AC line power during normal operation and battery
power during power outages. The UPS protects equipment connected
to these receptacles against damaging surges and line noise. If you
have a USB or DB9 connection to your UPS, you can remotely
reboot connected equipment by turning its receptacles OFF and ON
using Tripp Lite software. Select models have a receptacle that may
be remotely switched ON and OFF without interrupting power to
other outlets. See software instructions for details.

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 equipment
during a blackout. See PowerAlert manual.

DB9 Port (Select Models Only): The DB9 port connects your UPS
to any workstation or server. Use with Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert UPS
monitoring software and a DB9 cable to enable your computer to
automatically save open files and shut down equipment during a
blackout. The UPS can also report power availability and UPS status,
and select UPS models have other capabilities. See PowerAlert manual.

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 on page 2.

External Battery Connector (Select Models Only): Use to connect
battery pack(s) for additional runtime. Refer to Specifications and/or
the label next to the connector to determine the appropriate variety of
battery pack to use. Refer to the battery pack instruction manual for
complete installation information and important safety warnings.

Input Breaker: Prevents high input current from damaging the UPS or the
attached load. If this breaker trips, make sure your UPS is connected
to nominal 120V AC power before resetting the circuit breaker by
pushing the breaker switch in to reset.

Charge Level Switch: This switch should be set to the left unless
you have connected multiple external batteries, in which case you
may set it to EXTERNAL BATTERY, increasing your charger’s output
so the additional batteries recharge faster.

Power Sensitivity 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 sine wave power from its battery
reserves for as long as the distortion is present. In areas with poor utility
power or where the UPS’s input power comes from a backup generator,
chronic waveform distortion could cause the UPS to switch to battery too
frequently, draining its battery reserves. You may be able to reduce how often
your UPS switches to battery due to waveform distortion by experimenting
with different settings for this dial. As the dial is turned clockwise,
the UPS becomes more tolerant of variations in its input power’s AC
waveform. NOTE: The further the dial is adjusted clockwise, the greater
the degree of waveform distortion the UPS will allow to pass to connected
equipment. When experimenting with different 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.
